Chapter 19 The Temple of the Mother-in-Law
When Wen Wan heard the words "Send the Lady", she finally remembered something.
The mute woman seems to have mentioned that if you want to conceive an heir as soon as possible, you must take good care of your body, and if you want to win a boy at one stroke, you must go to the Empress Temple to offer incense.
No wonder Shen Yu showed such a look.
"Don't you think that I am doing something for my own benefit, pretending to have discovered the ancient tomb, but in fact it is just to go to the Empress Temple to offer incense?"
Wen Wan was shocked by the straight man's brain circuitry.
Shen Yu was noncommittal, "Isn't it?"
"Of course, definitely, and definitely, no!"
Wen Wan curled her lips, "If it's the Temple of Wealth, just forget it if you say I'm pretending to be a public servant and offering incense for private purposes. What can I do if I go to the Empress Temple to offer incense?"
Shen Yu glanced at her and said, "You are a merchant's concubine, so naturally what you want is that the mother is more valuable than the son."
Wen Wan: "..."
As a concubine, it seems reasonable to regard the mother as the mother as the son as the ultimate goal in life.
The hole you dug yourself has to be filled by yourself even if you cry.
Wen Wan suddenly realized that logically, she could not refute this point of view, otherwise in his eyes, her identity as a merchant's concubine would be doubted by him.
"Well, just think that I want to burn incense."
She suddenly gave up her objection, and Shen Yu's face immediately darkened.
"Oh, you really want to be pregnant with your husband's child?"
The mocking coldness in his tone made Wen Wan couldn't help but shudder.
She blinked her eyes blankly, wondering where she had offended him.
Dog men have unstable personalities and are really difficult to take care of.
He was obviously fine before, but with these few words, he started to show off to her again.
Wen Wan is not a soft persimmon. She crossed her arms over her chest and said angrily:
"Yes, I just want to be pregnant with my husband's child, and then let him make me his wife! Are you a fake husband and you still expect me to give you a child?"
When Shen Yu heard this, his expression became even more ugly.
He tightened his grip on the reins, and the carriage sped up and rushed out.
The mountain road was bumpy and the carriage sped up, so bumpy that Wen Wan almost fell off the carriage.
She instinctively grabbed Shen Yu's arm, and in fear, she instantly forgot to be angry with him.
"Ms. sir, I was wrong, I was wrong. Don't throw me to death. I don't want to have children anymore. Is it okay if I don't have children?"
The soft and waxy sound of "Mr. sir" in her mouth made Shen Yu startled and his chaotic thoughts were brought back.
He looked down and saw the small hands on his arms. The fingers were white and slender, and even the fingernails glowed with a warm pink light.
Shen Yu frowned, but his eyes softened.
With a straight face, he controlled the carriage to slow down and called out to Gao Ling in front of him.
"Let's go to the Niangniang Temple."
Shen Yu spoke to Gao Ling awkwardly.
Gao Ling was startled, then smiled meaningfully.
He turned back on horseback and patted Shen Yu on the shoulder, "Go ahead and help me burn incense for the Queen. At my age, I should be happy with Lin'er."
Shen Yu: "..."
He brushed Gao Ling's hand away, turned around and helped Wen Wan out of the carriage, then turned back and said, "Come down, the road up the mountain is not convenient for a carriage. I'll lend you a horse."
Gao Ling naturally had no objection and immediately jumped out of the carriage and gave the horse to them.
Shen Yu quickly got on his horse, then bent slightly and stretched out his hand to Wen Wan.
"Come up."
Wen Wan raised her head, facing the direction of the light, and could only see his tall silhouette on the horse.
That picture is quite amazing. For a moment, she seemed to remember the time when he fought with blood and led her out of the siege.
Men are indeed most attractive when they are exuding hormones.
Seeing that she was stunned and not moving, Shen Yu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Aren't you going to beg for a baby? Let's move quickly and grab a baby. Maybe the queen will give you a baby. Seeing your sincerity, she will let you give birth to seven or eight cubs at a time."
whelp? Seven or eight more?
Are you calling her a pig?
Wen Wan came back to her senses and twitched the corner of her mouth.
She was unconscious just now, so she thought his silhouette on horseback was amazing.
Fortunately, he had a vicious mouth, otherwise I don't know how many silly girls he would have deceived with this appearance.
Wen Wan was so angry that her teeth itched, and she reluctantly put her hand in his palm.
When his hands were clasped together, Shen Yu's pupils shrank unconsciously. In just a moment, he calmed down his emotions.

The trees in the deep mountains are tall, blocking part of the sunlight. Only a few rays of light are left through the gaps in the branches, and wisps of light fall from the top to the bottom.
When they were about to arrive, the steps were steep, so Shen Yu and Wen Wan dismounted and walked.
The temple of the Queen Mother is hidden deep in the mountains, but she didn't expect that many people come to offer incense.
Most of the people who came to offer incense were women wearing buns, and occasionally there were a few men who accompanied their newlywed wives to offer incense.
Shen Yuhe and Wen Wan had outstanding looks. When they walked up the steps, they attracted many looks from the surrounding pilgrims.
At the entrance of the temple, there are several sliding poles parked. These sliding poles are a kind of soft sedan chair specially used to carry people up the mountain.
When the mountain road is steep and carriages cannot come up, rich ladies who do not want to walk can go up the mountain on a sliding pole instead of walking.
A little boy sat on the door rail and stopped all the women who came to offer incense.
"The master said that there are noble people burning incense inside, and idlers can't go in now."
"I can't let you in until the noble lady comes out after offering incense."
The little boy repeatedly explained the reason for blocking the door to each newly arrived pilgrim.
When the older women saw those sliders, they knew there were some respectable people inside. They couldn't afford to offend them, so they didn't dare to say anything.
The young women were arrogant, and some of them refused to listen to the little boy's explanation, and started arguing with the little boy.
“Didn’t Lord Buddha say that all living beings are equal?”
"They are all here to offer incense. Why should we classify people into different categories in front of gods?"
"That's right, let us in quickly! Why can you get a good fortune if you have money? Everyone wants to have a son, so it's up to whoever gets it first."
"As a monk, you should have compassion. My mother-in-law said that if she can't give my husband a son, she will divorce me next year. Young master, please let me go in first."
How can a little boy stand up to these talkative women?
He blushed angrily and had no choice but to use the name of a noble person.
"Aunts, please calm down. The noble people inside are the family members of the great hero of our border town. For the sake of General Shen protecting the hundreds of thousands of people in our border town, I will give this incense to his wife."
The title of General Shen is still useful.
When the ladies heard this, they immediately became quiet.
As soon as Shen Yu and Wen Wan walked to the temple gate, they heard everyone's conversation clearly.
Shen Yu raised his eyebrows, looked at the little boy with a deep look, and asked in a deep voice: "Who do you think the noble person inside is?"
The little boy thought he didn't hear clearly just now, so he repeated it again.
"The noble lady inside is the wife of General Shen. She came all the way from the imperial capital to the border city to give birth to the general's son."
Shen Yu: "..."
There’s no need to explain it so carefully!
