Chapter 15 His Taste
The garden in the side courtyard is not big, and ordinary people's homes are not like the general's mansion where lanterns are lit everywhere.
Wen Wan used the excuse of eating after dinner to sit alone on the swing under the big banyan tree.
Even now, she still has lingering fears.
Today in the teahouse, if she hadn't turned aside in time to avoid Mrs. Zhao when she saw him, she would have been almost exposed.
In fact, she had a chance to escape when she was first brought to this yard.
At that time, Achai only sent a few guards to guard the courtyard door, but the way in and out of the courtyard was not the only way.
What's more, with her intelligence, it is not difficult to find opportunities to leave the yard.
If she doesn't leave, she's just taking advantage of the situation.
After all, she was a woman. Instead of being in danger alone, it was better to hide under the confinement of the principal captain for temporary stability.
Her original plan was to wait until Zhao and others were pregnant with General Shen's heir before appearing again.
In this way, she would not have to become a reproductive tool for the general's palace.
Unexpectedly, the plan failed to keep up with the change, and the captain actually used poison on her!
To be honest, even now, she doesn't believe that a person who values the people and subordinates so much would use such despicable methods.
Wen Wan sighed and murmured to herself, "Now, I can only take one step at a time. I just hope that he can keep his word and let me go free after it is done..."
The mute woman held a lantern and searched for Wenwan in the yard for a long time before she found her sighing.
The mute woman didn't know why she was sad, so she just took her hand and returned to the room.
It turned out that the mute woman had just prepared her luggage for going out tomorrow.
A few changes of clothes and some jewelry.
The design of the jewelry is a bit old, and it should have been worn by the mute woman when she was young. Although it is not very expensive, it can be seen that it must have been worn by the mute woman at the bottom of the box.
Shen Zhou relayed the story for the mute woman, "Grandma said that this time when I go home to visit my relatives, I have to bring some jewelry that I can afford. I can't let my parents think that I have been wronged here."
Achai took Wenwan to Zhuzhou in the name of taking Wenwan back to her hometown to visit relatives, so both the mute woman and Shen Zhou thought she was going back to her parents' home tomorrow.
Shen Zhou added: "Grandma also said that although Brother Achai has not given you a title yet, as long as you are pregnant with Brother Achai's child, Brother Achai will definitely treat you well and make you worry-free for the rest of your life. You should seize the opportunity this time and serve Brother Achai well. If you can conceive a child this time, everyone will be happy."
Hearing this, Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth.
It was really difficult for her to adapt. Shen Zhou, a half-year-old boy, said these words in a deep tone.
There is always an illusion of being messy in the wind.
Shen Zhou himself felt embarrassed when he said it, and his face turned slightly red after he said it, but for the sake of sister Xiaowan, he still had the courage to finish translating the mute woman's words.
They were sincerely considering her. People's hearts are full of flesh. It was hard for Wen Wan to refuse this kindness, so she could only pretend to be shy and take note of it.
In this feudal society, women's role seems to be only to give birth to children.
She is just a small person and cannot change the general environment. She can only hide herself among the crowd and pretend to be their kind in order to live a stable life.

It was just dawn, and the mountains were shrouded in clouds and mist.
Shen Yu put on a short coat of coarse cloth and drove a carriage full of goods.
Wen Wan also wore the clothes of a peasant woman, with an indigo embroidered cloth wrapped around her head, and she sat side by side with Shen Yu in boredom.
Bathed in the morning light, she swayed in a carriage and walked among the mountains and rivers. She yawned without waking up and leaned her head on Shen Yu's shoulder.
"Ms. sir, I'm sleepy. Please squint for a while."
Shen Yu held the reins with both hands and felt his shoulders sink, and the scent of osmanthus came to his face. He frowned instinctively and moved his arms.
But I heard Wen Wan say lazily with her eyes closed, "I said I wanted to pretend to be your wife, but you didn't agree. Now I'm pretending to be your wife. If you push me away, others will be suspicious."
She smiled and said, "So, be good and don't move."
Shen Yu finally held back and allowed her entire weight to rest on him.
He has never seen a woman who doesn't value the defense of men and women so much, but she is still useful, and he can't do anything to her on the surface.
I don’t know what kind of powder this woman used. After she came closer, a faint fragrance floated in the air.
In the past, many women who came to his door would also use various kinds of fragrant powders. Every time he smelled those messy smells, he felt uncomfortable all over.
But now, he actually thinks that the fragrance of this woman is quite pleasant?
Gao Ling, who was riding in front, turned around inadvertently and saw the delicate woman leaning intimately on Shen Yu's shoulder. The two behaved intimately, and they didn't look like a fake couple at all.
Gao Ling was thoughtful, a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.
*
The caravan consisted of twenty or thirty carriages, half of the carriages belonged to the Gao family, and half of the carriages were made up of other merchants from the border towns who came out to sell goods.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
All the merchants jointly paid for and hired seven or eight bodyguards as escorts, so there were a hundred or eighty people in the team.
Near noon, the caravan stopped to rest at a river beach.
The women in the caravan began to set up stoves to cook. They were used to traveling around, and they moved very quickly. After a while, there was only a little smoke, and the smell of food gradually spread.
Wenwan was awakened by greed.
She opened her eyes and found herself lying on the edge of the car, covered with a blanket, as if to prevent her from falling, and a wooden box was used to stop her.
Wen Wan searched around but couldn't find Shen Yu. Instead, she saw Gao Ling walking over with a smile on his face.
Wenwan jumped out of the carriage, "Where are the Achai people?"
Gao Ling smiled and said nothing, but raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the grove on the shore.
His expression was just like the ugly face of a melon-eater.
Wen Wan was puzzled and walked towards the woods in doubt.
Before she could get closer, she heard a wailing cry coming from the grove, and then she saw a woman in disheveled clothes rushing out of the grove.
The woman ran two steps and suddenly discovered Wen Wan's presence. She even forgot to cry, and was so frightened that her face turned green and white.
The woman staggered and ran back, as if she had seen a ghost.
"Uh..." Wen Wan paused, thinking that it would be better not to see such a sexy secret.
She was about to turn around when a faint voice came from behind her.
"My dear husband, your wife has come to catch an adulterer. How can this happen?"
Wen Wan was startled, "Your wife?" Are you talking about her?
Could it be that Achai and the woman were doing obscene things in the woods?
That can't be true. The woman looks very ordinary, but she has a pretty good figure. She has a curvy front and back, which is the kind of figure that men would like.
Wen Wan twitched the corner of her mouth, it turned out that Achai liked the young woman Da Nai?
This taste is quite... that of a normal man.
