Chapter 102 Collecting Interest
"Now your husband-in-law still has some affection for you. My daughter doesn't want to anger him, so she spares your life. Once your husband-in-law and my daughter's interests become entangled, she will have no scruples. At that time, you will die. .”
Although Mrs. Zhou is blind and seems to be indifferent to the outside world, as the founder of Lishui Villa, it is impossible for her to know nothing about what happened in the Villa.
Although Wen Wan was surprised, she felt it was reasonable.
Mrs. Zhou: "My daughter will not agree to letting you leave at the same time as your husband-in-law, but I can still save your life."
She paused and promised: "Give me the prescription to treat the eye disease, and I will not only let you leave safely, but I will also give you a sum of money so that you will have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life."
"Think about it carefully, your life is for you, why would you risk your life for a man?"
As someone who has experienced this, Mrs. Zhou’s words can be said to be very pertinent.
Wen Wan did not agree immediately, but said that she would go back and think about it.
Mrs. Zhou gave her one night.
Before leaving, Mrs. Zhou said: "Your prescription may not be effective for me. I am willing to make a deal with you, just because I want to see my son again, so even if there is only one in ten thousand chance, as a mother , I am also willing to try.”
"But... it's just a prescription. If you want to exchange the fundamental interests of my Lishui Villa, it's not that important to me."
This was all she said, just to make it clear that there was no room for Wen Wan to bargain.
Lishui Villa belongs to the Zhou family and their daughter, and Mrs. Yun's methods are shady. Mrs. Zhou should have known about it from beginning to end.

"Yes, she knows."
In the evening, after Wen Wan told Shen Yu what happened in Mrs. Zhou's yard, he said this with a sneer.
Wen Wan was a little surprised, "Didn't it mean that Mrs. Zhou no longer cares about the affairs in the villa?"
"It doesn't matter now, Mrs. Zhou was in charge of it in the past." Shen Yu said in a deep voice: "Think about it, the business in Lishui Villa is even prohibited by imperial orders, how clean can Mrs. Zhou's methods be? Go?”
Wen Wan thought about it and nodded, "That's right."
Shen Yu took the Four Treasures of the Study and sat across from her, "Write down the prescription and go and trade with Mrs. Zhou tomorrow. You go directly to Fengcheng Prefect's Mansion and hand over the prescription after meeting Prefect Lin."

Wen Wan: "Prefect Lin? Is he the friend you sneaked out to meet a few nights ago?"
Shen Yu was stunned, frowned and asked: "Did you guess it?"
Wen Wan laughed dryly and asked, "Shouldn't I have guessed?"
Hearing this, Shen Yu twitched the corner of his mouth, and then he was quickly relieved.
"Well, after all, you are a female Zhuge, and I can't hide anything from you. Gao Ling once dealt with Taishou Lin, and we had some friendship. I used Gao Ling's relationship to contact Taishou Lin. A few nights ago, I was Go to see Governor Lin and get some information from him.”
Wen Wan gave an eccentric smile, "Let me ask you, is the matter you investigated related to iron ore?"
As soon as she said this, Shen Yu stared at her sharply, "Xiaowan, there are some things that you shouldn't get involved in."
Wen Wan sighed helplessly, "Is this a choice I can make? I know you want to protect me, but have you ever thought about it, I am your wife now, even if I don't know what I say, really If something happens, can those people keep me alive?”
"But..." Before Shen Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Wen Wan.
Wen Wan: "Have you promised to help Mrs. Yun sell iron ore?"
Shen Yu didn't say anything for a while.
After a long time, he raised his head and poured a cup of cold tea, "Since you have guessed it, I will not hide it from you." "When I visited Lishui Villa at night, I found that there was iron ore in the warehouse of Lishui Villa. Duan Chao's The iron ore was mined uniformly by the imperial court. Who sold the iron ore to whom and where it was sold is unknown. ”
Wen Wan understood, "So these days, when you get close to Mrs. Yun, you just check her family background and family background?"
"Yes. Mrs. Yun is the middleman. She is the only one who knows the news about the upper and lower families." Shen Yu said, "I told Mrs. Yun that I have a relationship like Prefect Lin and can get a lower iron ore price. She believes ”
The lower the purchase price, the more generous profits she earned. Under the temptation of huge profits, Mrs. Yun was tempted.
As long as Mrs. Yun is given a batch of goods and asked to complete the transaction, her former seller will be anxious.
Shen Yu said: "Those who dare to sell iron ore privately are ruthless people. How could they tolerate me stealing their business? So they will definitely come to me for revenge."
Although this method of luring the snake out of the hole is not sophisticated, it is enough to save time. However, as a bait, the risk will be greater for him.
"Xiaowan," Shen Yu raised his hand and touched her head, "it's good to let others think that you are wise enough to protect yourself and abandon me."
"Then you are alone..." Wen Wan hesitated.
Shen Yu smiled calmly, "I am not alone. The Fengcheng defenders will provide support for me. When we enter the city, there will be many brothers watching in the dark."
"Oh." He lowered his head gently and thought for a moment before nodding.

She was still a little worried and warned: "Then you must be careful!"
Shen Yu agreed, leaned close to her ear and said: "Don't worry, you said that if I can return safely from the Forgotten Valley, you will give me a reward. I am still waiting to receive this reward."
Unexpectedly, he still remembered that incident.
Thinking of the content of the reward, Wen Wan's cheeks turned red and she unconsciously looked away.
Seeing her awkward look, Shen Yu's eyes became deeper and deeper.
"This is not a place to collect rewards, but...you have owed me for so many days, there must be some interest, right?"
Wen Wan turned around blankly, "What interest..."
Her words were blocked by his lips.
He kissed her forcefully, like a beast suppressing desire. Although he tried his best to restrain it, the trace of desire leaked from his eyes was enough to drive people crazy.
There is an ambiguous atmosphere floating in the air, the candlelight flickers, and the interlacing of light and shadow is the inextricable sinking from the depths of the soul.

The next day, Wen Wan went to make a deal with Mrs. Zhou according to the pre-discussed plan.
I don’t know how Mrs. Zhou communicated with Mrs. Yun. In short, the old woman who was responsible for serving Mrs. Zhou escorted her out of Lishui Villa with five or six guards who knew kung fu.
Fengcheng is not far from Lishui Villa. An hour later, the group arrived at Fengcheng.
The carriage moved smoothly, and after entering the city gate, it arrived at Prefect Lin's Mansion in a familiar way.
The old grandma opened the curtain and pointed to the red lacquer door of the prefect's mansion.
"This is Prefect Lin's Mansion. Miss Xiaowan, can you give me the prescription for treating eye diseases?"
Wen Wan's hand had already reached into her arms. Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, an idea flashed in her mind, and her back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.
No, there is something wrong everywhere in this matter!
