Chapter 28 Heirs are in difficulty
"No, call me sister-in-law!"
Wen Wan emphasized through gritted teeth.
Shen Yu curled up his lips, and the wife and husband rushed to the subordinates outside the cave and ordered, "Did you hear that? You are not allowed to call me sister-in-law in the future."
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he added another sentence.
"Just call me sister-in-law and add a small word. Who are you looking down on?"
Wen Wan: "..."
The young people outside the cave roared in unison, "Yes!"
The arm cannot twist the thigh, and the right to speak always belongs to the party with more people.
Wen Wan couldn't resist them, so she could only hold back and let them scream.
"A bunch of soldiers!"
Wen Wan whispered, although she was dissatisfied, she still grabbed the rope they threw down.
Climbing out of the cave along the rope, she let out a long sigh of relief.
Nothing is more important than being alive.
However, when the soldiers pulled Shen Yu out of the cave and Wen Wan saw the injuries on his legs clearly, her heart that had just been put down began to rise again unconsciously.
A wound on Shen Yu's thigh that was longer than a slap opened the flesh ferociously. Despite such a serious injury, he remained silent and was even in the mood to chat and laugh with her.
He is a ruthless person!
There was almost no blood on his lips, and they looked like they would fall off at any moment.
It's hard for Wen Wan to imagine how he survived such a serious injury.
The young man with nimble hands and feet took off his belt to bandage Shen Yu's wound. "He must be sent down the mountain for treatment immediately."
After finding Shen Yu, everyone seemed to have regained their former composure. They did not dare to delay at all, and the division of labor was clear. Some were responsible for dealing with the aftermath, while others were responsible for escorting Shen Yu and Wen Wan down the mountain.

In the nearest town, an inn was rented by these soldiers.
Shen Yu fainted on the way, and now the doctor is treating him in his room.
Wen Wan stood by the bed and saw the doctor cut open his pants and sutured his wounds with cotton thread soaked in wine. A child wiped the bleeding blood with a white cloth.
After cleaning the white cloth, the water in the basin was dyed red, and the water was changed from basin to basin.
Such injuries are not easy to treat even in modern society with advanced medical technology, let alone in backward ancient times.
"The wound has been treated and the medicine has been poured in. Whether he can survive or not depends on him."
The doctor cleaned the wound and gave instructions while washing his hands.
He looked at the people around him again and asked: "I see that the injured person is still young, but has he started a family?"
Almost all the young people looked in Wen Wan's direction, seeming to be hesitating and not daring to say anything casually.
"Look at what I'm doing, I'm not his real wife." Wen Wan muttered in a low voice.
The doctor didn't hear what she said clearly. Everyone looked at her and thought she was a family member of the injured person.
Doctor: "Madam, come out with me. I have something to say."
Wen Wan hesitated, "Oh."
The doctor led her to the door and then talked about her illness while stroking her beard.
"You just saw your husband's injury, right?"
Nodding gently, "Yeah."
Doctor: "His injury is close to the base of his leg, and it may have hurt some..."
The doctor was thinking about what to say, and it seemed that he was a little embarrassed to speak to a woman.
After thinking for a while, the doctor said euphemistically: "It's just possible, not absolute. Therefore, his heirs may have a harder time in the future."
"Oh." There was no expression on Wen Wan's face. She was a modern person and did not have such a deep-rooted obsession with carrying on the family lineage. Seeing her calm expression, the doctor nodded approvingly.
"My wife is a kind person. It seems that she has figured out that human life is more important than heirs. It is a blessing for your husband to have a wife like you."
Wen Wan: "..."
The doctor had misunderstood, and she still couldn't explain it.

To be on the safe side, the doctor and his little medicine boy stayed in the inn in case the condition changed and required diagnosis and treatment.
When Gao Ling arrived with hundreds of people, Wen Wan was making medicine in the kitchen with the doctor.
She leaned out of the window and looked at the crowded group of people, and her face was suddenly filled with shock.
She didn't expect that Gao Ling actually transferred the border town garrison?
The doctor also glanced at it and asked doubtfully: "Madam, who is your husband-in-law? Those are the defenders of the border town. With so many people coming, is your husband-in-law a high official?"
This doctor was found in a small town, so he didn't know their details.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Wen Wan explained casually, "He's not a senior official, he's just a junior captain."
"Little Colonel, that must be a little Colonel who is highly appreciated by General Shen, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people here." The doctor said firmly.
Wen Wan responded, "Do you also know General Shen?"
"Of course, there is no one in the big cities or small towns around the border town who doesn't know the name of General Shen. He is our great hero who protects our people."
Like all border townspeople, the doctor was full of admiration when he mentioned Shen Yulai.
"Hey, it's a pity. General Shen has done so many good things, but his wife..." The doctor seemed to remember something, shook his head and sighed.
Hearing this, Wen Wan was stunned, "What happened to his wife?"
Isn't General Shen's wife the same Zhao family who brought her to the border?
The doctor looked around and saw no one, so he lowered his voice and said, "I'm only telling you about one person, so don't tell anyone else."
Wen Wan: "...Yeah."
This familiar opening line of gossip turns out to be the same throughout the ages.
She should be lucky that although the doctor had good medical skills, he was not strict in his words.
Also, there are only so many people in a town, and they are all from the east and west, and they are always looking for fun in gossip.
She couldn't help but remember that in modern times, every time she returned to the village, the old ladies at the entrance of the village would make up a sensational gossip for every young person who returned to the village.
The doctor's voice brought back her wandering thoughts.
"A few days ago, the general's wife went to send incense to the Empress Dowager Temple. When passing by, she happened to be in poor health. It was the illness I treated her for."
As he spoke, he sighed again, "The general's wife must have been exposed to the cold when she was young, which damaged her roots. I'm afraid she won't be able to conceive an heir in this life."
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment.
This sudden news shocked her speechless.
The doctor was still feeling sorry for Shen Yu, "The poor general is guarding the border town with all his heart, but his wife cannot carry on the family line for him. What a sin."
commit a sin?
The corners of Wen Wan's mouth twitched.
She should be the one who committed the crime, right?
The old lady of the General's Mansion sent three people to breed General Shen this time. Zhao was unable to have children, so she and Chun Niang were the only ones left.
According to Zhao's style of acting, to be on the safe side, she would definitely not place her hopes on Chun Niang alone.
Maybe before, Mrs. Zhao didn't care about the life or death of her concubine, but now, Mrs. Zhao would definitely find a way to get her back.
She didn't want to be captured and turned into a reproductive tool.
