Chapter 31: Disentanglement
The atmosphere was stagnant, and you could hear a needle drop in the room.
After a long time, Wen Wan sat upright and asked, "Do you mean to get married to me?"
The word "get married" made Shen Yu frown.
Looking at his face, Wen Wan saw a flash of disappointment in his eyes.
"It seems that she is not the wife Ming Media is marrying."
Wen Wan looked like it was true, "Marriage depends on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. If you are privately married for life, you will have the status of a foreign concubine. I am a merchant's concubine. With this status, let alone you, Captain Zhou. Ordinary men would not marry me.”
After thinking about it for a moment, she understood the key.
This is indeed the case, and Shen Yu indeed planned this.
But...
When these words came out of her mouth, he felt a dull pain in his heart.
He originally thought that she was just a merchant's concubine, and he was showing her kindness by giving her a place to settle down, but he forgot that she was no ordinary woman.
It was him who underestimated her.
Shen Yu was able to achieve his current position, and he was by no means a stubborn person. If he made a mistake, he would make a mistake, and he would never continue to make a mistake.
"Sorry, I take it back..."
Wen Wan chuckled and interrupted him.
"No need to apologize. In secular terms, it is already a great favor for Captain Zhou not to mind my status as a merchant's concubine and to accept me as his concubine."
She paused and then said: "You are already much better than other men in the world, but it's a pity that you are not my husband."
After finishing speaking, she announced her conclusion without waiting for Shen Yu's reaction.
"So, let's not hurt our feelings by talking about marriage, just talk about a deal. Five hundred taels, this is the price of the pills. As for me helping you find things, that is another condition."
It seems that we can't eat this meal together.
Wen Wan stood up, and before leaving, she said: "I told Brother Gao yesterday about the terms I offered, please discuss it."
The innkeeper walked to the door and met Wen Wan exiting.
Wen Wan took the food box from her hand and said with a smile: "My husband-in-law doesn't have much appetite right now, so I'd better take this meal back to the house and eat it myself."
"Oh." The innkeeper was confused. Captain Zhou said he was hungry an hour ago, but now he stopped eating?
He is just a little boy. He doesn't care much about what the guests tell him or what he does.
After Wen Wan and the innkeeper left, Shen Yu stared deeply at the beam, with an obscure meaning in his eyes.

Gao Ling rushed back to the inn in the afternoon.
After he entered the house, he complained as he washed his hands in the basin on the shelf.
"The side hall has been turned upside down, and everything in the ancient tomb has been dug out. It's not as good as the mountain temple last time. There were some boxes of treasures in the mountain temple. It's better this time, there are just a few worthless things. Broken crock.”
Gao Ling wiped his hands with cotton cloth, turned and walked to the bed.
"Alas, it's a pity that we still didn't find what we were looking for. But fortunately, with Miss Xiaowan here, there will be another chance in the future. At worst, we can dig up all the ancient tombs around the border town."
He talked for a long time but didn't hear anyone's response, so he looked towards the bed.
Seeing Shen Yu staring at the beams with empty eyes, he asked doubtfully: "What's wrong with you?"
Shen Yu finally moved his neck, turned his head, and said in a deep voice:
"She was angry."
"What?"
Gao Ling didn't understand his meaningless words at first, and it took him a while to understand what he meant.
Gao Ling: "You mean, she got angry when you proposed to take her as your concubine?"
Shen Yu nodded dimly. After Shen Yu woke up yesterday, Gao Ling told Shen Yu the transaction conditions proposed by Wen Wan.
Wen Wan is a runaway concubine, and she wants a new identity, which is not difficult for Shen Yu.
There are countless survivors rescued from the Mobei people every year. If you find the identity of an orphan girl, you can help her get an identity document.
But it is not easy for an orphan girl to live stably on her own.
Shen Yu had some appreciation for Wen Wan, so he didn't mind simply accepting her and giving her a living security.
Gao Ling also meant the same thing at the time.
How could any other woman disagree with this arrangement?
Gao Ling: "This shouldn't be done. Five thousand taels of betrothal gift, a legitimate new identity, and a prosperous and stable life in the future. If I give birth to a son and a half for you in the future, you will not despise her. She still has What are you dissatisfied with? ”
Shen Yu said nothing.
Gao Ling snorted coldly and said, "Is it possible that she is a merchant's concubine and still wants to be your wife? Is she crazy, or are all of us crazy?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu sighed, "That's all. Since she doesn't want to make such an arrangement, then let's do it on her terms."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Okay. Let's give her a new identity as an orphan. I want to see how she can survive as an orphan in this troubled world!"
Gao Ling looked like he was waiting for a good show.
Shen Yu's expression remained unchanged, but when his eyes were lowered, he looked slightly lonely.

After the unhappy breakup that day, Wen Wan didn't go to Shen Yu's room to see him again for two days.
It was Gao Ling who ran between them to spread the word.
The two parties reached a cooperation agreement, they helped her get an identity document, and she promised to help them find the ancient tomb.
When Gao Ling asked about the name of Wen Die's new identity, Wen Wan hesitated and simply used the name before time travel, which was Wen Wan.
Three days later, Shen Yu's injuries were better and he could barely withstand the bumpy ride in the carriage.
As a result, the vast team prepared to set off back to the border town.
Wen Wan packed up her things and came to the door of the inn.
In front of the huge team, a luxurious carriage stopped. It was self-evident who was in the carriage.
"Sister-in-law, please get on the carriage."
A familiar young man came over to help her carry her luggage and greeted her with a naive smile.
Wen Wan recognized that this was one of the young men digging soil in the Empress Temple.
She glanced at the other young people who were secretly looking at her, and then said loudly:
"Don't scream in the future. I don't have that kind of relationship with Captain Zhou. In order to cover up others' eyes and obey the authority in a hurry a few days ago, I had no choice but to join in the chorus. I am a woman, and after returning to the city, I will get married and have children in the future. Yes, this reputation cannot be careless.”
After saying that, Wen Wan did not get on the carriage, but followed the team towards the carriage pulling the goods.
In the carriage, Shen Yu, who was half-reclining for a nap, suddenly opened his eyes.
He opened the car curtain and looked sharply behind.
The petite woman had to use her hands and feet when climbing onto the wagon.
That look is three parts funny and seven parts cute.
Yes, that funny look actually seemed cute to him!
Shen Yu felt that there might be something wrong with his eyes recently, and he must be angry with her.
“I can’t wait to draw a clear line with him!”
This damn girl is really brave!
