Chapter 99 The Secret of the Mansion
The day is constantly changing. One moment the sun was shining, and now the sky is gloomy.
Wen Wan walked on the road dejectedly, her thoughts confused, and unknowingly she came to a remote courtyard.
The courtyard in front of you is simple and elegant. Although there is no gorgeous decoration, it smells of money everywhere.
Wen Wan graduated with a major in archeology and has done some research on ancient building materials. At a glance, he could tell that the black roof beams on both sides of the corridor were golden nanmu that was hard to find.
There was no one in the yard, and the occasional chirping of birds and insects added a sense of tranquility to the yard.
Wen Wan hesitated for a moment and was about to exit. As soon as she turned around, a middle-aged woman wearing a black robe stared at her with cold eyes.
Wen Wan took a breath of fear and staggered back two steps.
"It's like a horror movie, I'm going to have a heart attack."
Wen Wan pressed her chest, complaining secretly.
The middle-aged woman didn't react at all. She stared straight ahead with dull eyes. Her empty eyes were comparable to those of female ghosts in horror movies.
"Uh..." Wen Wan was thinking about saying something to ease the weird atmosphere.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she spoke, the middle-aged woman immediately raised her head and asked, "Who is it?"
As she spoke, she raised her hands and stretched them forward.
This is a habitual action for blind people. Wen Wan has been blind for a while, so she understands it very well.
Maybe they feel sympathy for each other, so they show sympathy and explain quickly.
"Hello, I am a guest staying at the house to recuperate. I accidentally got lost and entered this courtyard by mistake. You don't have to be afraid, I am not a bad person."
After listening to this, the middle-aged woman thought of something.
"You must be Zhou Langjun's wife."
Wen Wan nodded. After nodding, he remembered that she couldn't see and said again: "Yes."
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman sighed and said, "Oh, he is also a poor person. Go right out of the door and you can go back to the wing."
"Oh, thank you." He thanked her gently and walked out of the courtyard.
When she reached the door, she looked back, hesitated, and then turned back.
The middle-aged woman felt someone approaching and asked, "You haven't left yet?"
Wen Wan responded, and then said: "I have a prescription for treating eye diseases. Although it may not be useful for everyone, you can give it a try. I also relied on this prescription to regain my sight."
"See the light again..." The middle-aged woman murmured these words, not knowing what she was thinking. After a while, she shook her head and sighed: "What's the use of seeing the light again? I won't be able to see my poor son after all." .”
After saying that, she groped forward, entered a room, and closed the door again.
Wen Wan was still standing there in a daze. An old woman came over carrying a food box. When she saw Wen Wan, she was stunned for a moment.
The old woman seemed to recognize Wen Wan, "You are Mr. Zhou's little lady."
He responded gently and said hello to the old grandma again.
The old lady waved her hand and warned: "My dear lady, please don't come to this place again. The old lady doesn't like outsiders to disturb you."
"Old Madam?" Wen Wan reacted, "She is the owner of the villa, Madam Zhou?"
The old lady nodded.
Mrs. Zhou had the word "老" in her name, so Wen Wan thought she was an older person, but she never thought she was just a middle-aged woman.
If you think about it carefully, Mrs. Yun is only in her twenties. It is not surprising that Mrs. Yun's mother is middle-aged.
It's just... Wen Wan pretended to chat casually, "I just heard from Mrs. Zhou that she has a son. Is Mr. Zhou in the house now? Lishui Villa saved my life. I should thank the host family both emotionally and rationally." It’s better to do it.”
The old grandma was very surprised, "Did the old lady mention the young master?"
Wen Wan: "Uh... mentioned it."
The old lady looked sad, "Well, if the young master is still here, he must be the owner of Lishui Villa. Unfortunately... the young master has died long ago. The old slave advises the young lady, don't do anything to anyone after you leave this door. Mrs. Yun will be unhappy if people mention the young master’s affairs.”
"Oh."
Wen Wan returned to the wing full of doubts, but her mind kept thinking of the blind Mrs. Zhou.
From what the old mama means, Mrs. Yun and her brother and sister must be at odds?
However, it is not surprising that every wealthy family has secrets.

In the evening, Shen Yu returned to the wing again smelling of alcohol.
Wen Wan was lying on her side on the bed, with her back to the door. She noticed when he came in, but she really didn't want to pay attention to him, so she closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Shen Yu took off his wine-smelled outer robe, casually placed the robe on the soft couch, and then walked to the bed.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
He hesitated for a moment before sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Xiao Wan," he said softly, "I know you are not sleeping."
Wen Wan still had no reaction at all.
Shen Yu sighed: "When Mrs. Yun suddenly rushed over today and said she wanted to bet with me, I knew there was something wrong. Sure enough, I saw you walking into the garden soon. Her method of sowing discord was clumsy. With your intelligence, , you can definitely see it.”
He seemed to be talking to himself or explaining.
"A few days ago I went out in the dark, not to hang out with Mrs. Yun, but to meet a friend."
"I said, Mrs. Yun is not worthy of my honey trap."
"So, I threw out a bait that is better than a honey trap. I won't tell you, there are some secrets of the court, and you are safest if you don't know."
"Please be patient for a few more days. After Mrs. Yun takes the bait, we can leave here."
After Shen Yu finished speaking, he raised his hand and touched Wen Wan's head before getting up and returning to the soft couch.
These days, she sleeps on the bed and he sleeps on the soft couch.
Maybe he was very tired, but soon after he fell asleep, he heard steady breathing.
Wen Wan sat up.
In the darkness, she looked in the direction of Shen Yu. The soft couch was by the window. The clear moonlight shone on his face through the window, making the tired look between his brows clearly visible.
Although she didn't know what plan he was planning, Wen Wan felt that what made him bother so much must be of great importance.
"From a geographical point of view, Lishui Villa is close to Fengcheng. Fengcheng and the border city are at an angle to each other, and they are the two most important cities on the border of the Duan Dynasty."
"By the way, there are mines in Fengcheng, the most important iron mine for making weapons!"
Wen Wan murmured to herself, "Could it be that Mrs. Yun's business is related to iron ore?"
If so, that's really a big deal.
Therefore, he didn't dare to reveal anything to her. Did he not have a complete chance of winning the entire plan?
If the matter was exposed, those people would definitely kill people and silence them. If she didn't know about it, maybe she could still save her life?
Thinking of this, Wen Wan's sullenness toward Shen Yu dissipated by half.
