Chapter 97: Hiding during the day and emerging at night
Fear comes from the unknown, but awe comes from understanding.
The more Wen Wan learned about Lishui Villa, the more she admired the two women from the Zhou family.
In modern society, independent women are commonplace, but in a feudal patriarchal society, it is extremely difficult for women to stand firm.
Since Mrs. Zhou and her daughter can do business here, their methods are naturally unavoidable, and their character is definitely not good.
The mother and daughter met Shen Yu and Wen Wan on their way back to the villa.
At first, the carriage that the mother and daughter were riding in passed by them without stopping. It was only after Madam Yun lifted the curtain and took a look that the carriage stopped.
Shen Yu has seen countless people, especially the way women look at him, he has experienced too much.
What's more, when Madam Yun looked at him at that time, the desire in her eyes was not concealed at all.
Shen Yu took a sip of tea and frowned slightly, “If your situation wasn’t urgent at the time, I wouldn’t want to deal with this kind of woman.”
"I believe it."
Wen Wan held back her laughter and nodded repeatedly.
After being together for so long, she still understood him a little bit. His attitude towards women was that he was too bothersome. He knew that Madam Yun was interested in him, but he couldn't hide from her.
Chen Yu: "I originally planned to leave Lishui Villa after you woke up."
Wen Wan blinked, "Originally? You mean you don't plan to leave right now?"
Shen Yu nodded, "After moving into Lishui Villa, I visited it several times at night and found that there are indeed things in this villa that I am interested in."
He raised his hand and touched her head. "This place is definitely not as simple as you think. Madam Yun is a vicious person. You must be extremely careful about what you put in your mouth. If she can poison you once, she will do it again."
Wen Wan was puzzled. "No, what did I do to make her want to kill me? Could it be that she did it to get you? If so, then she is really a ruthless person, just like... Black Widow."
"Black Widow?" Shen Yu raised his eyebrows. "You're right. People on the underworld really do call her that."
Wen Wan: “…”
Shen Yu added, "There must be at least eighty men who died at her hands, if not a hundred. There must be no fewer than ten handsome men imprisoned in her cell right now."
Wen Wan: “…”
Shen Yuyu was determined to shock people, and a few words made Wen Wan completely silent.
Perhaps it was because Mrs. Yun's behavior was too abnormal that Wen Wan, a modern person, felt ashamed of herself.
Seeing that she didn't say anything for a long time, Shen Yu's tone sank, "Why, are you scared?"
Wen Wan curled her lips and said, "No, I just think that Madam Yun...can be regarded as a vent for us women."
Shen Yu: "? What do you mean?"
Wen Wan sighed, "It's always men who treat women as playthings. But in Madam Yun's case, it's Tian Gang who treats men as playthings. Isn't this just giving women a chance to vent their anger?"
Although, her three views have been shattered into pieces.
At that time, Wen Wan was just joking, but she didn't know that her jokes really hit the nail on the head.
Wen Wan asked again: "You didn't stay here to rescue your male compatriots, did you?"
Shen Yu smiled meaningfully, "Just take good care of yourself and don't worry about other things."
Wen Wan laughed dryly. As an ordinary person, she didn't bother to meddle in other people's business.
"Oh, I have one last question."
Shen Yu glanced at her and said, "Speak."
Wen Wan lowered her voice and asked, "Did you find the Cangqi secret box when you were in the Forgotten Valley?"
Shen Yu knew she would ask, so he just nodded slightly.
Wen Wan couldn't help but get excited. After searching for so long and spending so much effort, she finally got it!
She really wanted to see what the legendary Cangqi secret box looked like.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Shen Yu leaned close to her ear and said, "I hid the things. This is not the place to talk. From now on, don't even mention these words."
Although Wen Wan was disappointed, she still nodded honestly.

Ever since Wen Wan woke up, Mrs. Yun would come to the yard every day to talk to her for a while.
In front of Wen Wan, she was very restrained and did not look at him with the aggressive gaze that Shen Yu said.
However, several times when Wen Wan lowered her head to drink water, she saw Madam Yun flirting with Shen Yu out of the corner of her eye.
During the day, Chen Yu stayed with Wen Wan all the time, and at night, he changed into night clothes and went out.
Perhaps it was because after rescuing Chen Yu, she felt more relaxed, no longer worried or tired, and her body was visibly getting better day by day.
That night, after dark, Shen Yu did not go out, but sat under the oil lamp reading a book.
Wen Wan was just curious when someone knocked on the gate.
Shen Yu put down the storybook and went out for a while. When he came back, he was followed by a servant.
He wrapped himself in his cloak and said to Wen Wan in front of the servant, "A house in the south courtyard of the villa has collapsed. I'll go over and help. Don't wait for me, go to sleep first."
Wenwan responded obediently, "Oh. Then be careful."
"Yeah." Shen Yu led the servant out the door.
At first, Wen Wan didn't take it seriously and thought Shen Yu was just going to help.
Until the next few days, Shen Yu was called out every night for various reasons, and when he came back, he sometimes smelled of alcohol and women's rouge.
Only then did she realize that something was wrong.
That night, just after dark, Wen Wan pulled Chen Yu to the bedside and asked fiercely:
"Husband, you go out every night. Are you having an affair?"
This delicate call of "husband" really scared Shen Yu.
Shen Yu: "There's no one outside, you don't have to act so realistically."
Wen Wan glared at him. "So what were you doing tonight? Did you try to lure Madam Yun into a relationship with your beauty?"
Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and a brain bomb hit her forehead.
"Is Madam Yun's beauty trap worth it?"
Wen Wan snorted softly, "Who knows? You're just a small lieutenant. Although your family is well-off, it's definitely not as good as the Lishui Villa. Who knows if you'll be obsessed with sex and money and change your mind about hanging out with Madam Yun?"
Shen Yu saw her puffed cheeks and thought it was cute, so he reached out and pinched her cheek.
"Jealous?" he asked with a smile.
Wen Wan slapped his hand away, "Who's jealous?"
Shen Yu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, you alone are enough to give me trouble, I don't want to mess with other women."
After a pause, he said, "As for what I did when I went out tonight, I'll tell you after I'm done."
After he said that, Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and then chose to believe it.
But the next day, when Wen Wan saw Shen Yu hugging Madam Yun in the garden with her own eyes, she realized that her choice of belief had become a huge joke.
Men, when they tell lies, they really don't change their expression.
