Chapter 145: Wealth is overwhelming
Winn strode out of the door, his back stiff, but he couldn't hold it back and looked back.
The woman sitting behind the table, with fair skin and red eyes, was staring in the direction he left for a moment.
Their eyes met, and their gazes were intertwined, as if they both wanted to imprint each other's appearance in their bones.
After a while, it was Winn who finally withdrew his gaze first.
He turned his back and left.
This time, he didn't look back.

Wen En did what he said. In the next two days, he never came to see Wen Wan again.
Wen Wan knew that he was afraid that the unconcealed reluctance between the two would let people around him find out the clues, which would bring unnecessary trouble.
Forget it that Wen En didn't come, Shen Yu had been checking up on Mrs. Zhou for the past two days, and he didn't know what was holding her back, so he didn't come again.
Until the third day, it was finally time to pray under the Demonic Fall Tree.
Early in the morning, the palace attendants dressed Wenwan up according to Mobei people's traveling habits. They put on the robes worn by Mobei women and a tulle to protect her from wind and sand.
Wen Wan glanced at herself in the mirror, only a pair of eyes were exposed. As long as she didn't speak, she looked like an ordinary Mobei woman.
The steward personally brought over a red gold tray, which was filled with jewelry made of pure gold.
A pair of heavy bracelets, a thumb-thick gold necklace, seven or eight gold rings, and the most exaggerated one, a golden crown.
Wen Wan: "..."
This perfect nouveau riche temperament?
She loves it so much!
The steward said with a smile: "His Royal Highness said that prayer is very important and must be grand, so he made a special trip to the warehouse to pick up these jewelry. His Highness also told the girl to bring them all to show the wealth of the royal family. Style.”
He said it so grandly, but he probably just wanted to take the opportunity to legitimately give her some personal belongings.
At present, the banks in Mobei and Duanchao are not connected, and border trade is still at the stage of barter.
That's why Wen En gave her these pure gold jewelry directly. He had good intentions, how could Wen En not know about it.
Just thinking that these are parting gifts, the excitement in Wen Wan's eyes gradually dissipated.
She put on all the jewelry on her body. These gold jewelry were all genuine and heavy. She couldn't help but sway under the weight.
The manager on the side was frightened when he saw this scene, and raised his hand to help her.
"Miss Jiejie, are these too heavy? Why don't you bring two less items?"
Wen Wan gritted her teeth, took a few deep breaths, and waved her hands pretending not to care at all.
"It's not heavy! It's not heavy at all! I think it will look even better if I bring a few more items."
The manager twitched the corner of his mouth, smiled bitterly, and said nothing.
Wen Wan's hands and neck were sore. She gritted her teeth and walked a few steps. After all, her body was a bit frail. When she went down the steps, she almost lost her balance and fell forward.
Shen Yu, who was disguised as a gardener, had been waiting at the door under the order of the general manager. When he looked up, he saw Wen Wan covered in jewels and fell down.
His temples were pulsing, and he raised his hand to hold her arm.
"Thank you." Wen Wan adjusted the crown, a little sweat appeared on her forehead.
Shen Yu glanced at her outfit, and the expression on his face was very exciting for a moment.
"These...are all rewards from His Highness?"
He helped her move forward and asked in a low voice.
Wen Wan responded and said with a smile: "Look, my brother is such a nice person and rich. All these gold jewelry given to me are solid!"
A rough estimate would be about ten kilograms.
This is gold. It is sold by Lunke outside. Winn gave so much as soon as he made the move! She was quite prosperous in the second half of her life.
It turns out that the only difference between the poor loser and the rich woman is a good brother!
Although it has only been a few minutes since she became rich, Wenwan has already planned the money.
Allocate a sum of money to Granny Li and Uncle Hu for business use, expand the size of the store, and use money to make money. Then give some money to the mute women in the side courtyard to improve their lives.
Then what is left is her little treasury. When she breaks up with Achai in the future, she will raise a good-looking little husband.
She still couldn't believe it. She became a rich woman and couldn't find a more handsome young man than Achai!
Perhaps the vision for the future was too beautiful, and Wen Wan was smiling all the way.
"Ha," Shen Yu snorted disdainfully when he saw her like this, "He is quite nice. This is my first time seeing solid jewelry, and I'm not afraid of breaking your neck."
"Bah!" Wen Wan glanced at him secretly, "You just say sour grapes when you can't eat them. You are a junior captain, have you never seen so much money in your life?"
She looked proud, like a puppy with its tail raised to the sky.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Shen Yu's teeth were itching and he snorted. There were so many people and it was inconvenient to argue with her, so he said nothing more.
Wen Wan glanced at him and said cheerfully: "Behave well. When I get rich, I will make you enjoy the hot food."
"..." Shen Yu pursed his lips, "Then I thank you!"
"Don't be polite to me. We are a husband and wife."
Wen Wan was in the excitement of suddenly getting rich, and she was a bit arrogant and unabashed.
Fortunately, other palace people were far away from each other, otherwise someone would definitely find out the clues.
Shen Yu couldn't help but remind him: "Okay, wipe your saliva, and you'll be out of the hospital right away."
Wen Wan responded, then calmed down her emotions, stood up straight and distanced herself from Shen Yu.
She pretended to say loudly: "You little gardener is quite discerning. Thank you for helping me, otherwise I would have fallen down."
Shen Yu cooperated with her acting with a stiff expression, cupped his hands and said: "It's just a little effort, Miss Jiejie will be fine."
The manager was really frightened when he saw Wen Wan almost fall down, but luckily a gardener held him up.
If Miss Jiejie falls, with the little prince's temper, those who serve her will definitely lose their skin.
The steward praised Shen Yu a few words, and casually took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeves and gave them to him.

At the east gate of the royal court, a vast team was ready to go.
At the front was the Royal Court's guard of honor, followed by the Mobei Little Prince's carriage inlaid with various precious gems. Behind the carriage were the Royal Court's cavalry and the palace attendants on foot.
In front of others, Wen Wan is a slave and Shen Yu is a gardener. They are both of low status and are not qualified to approach the little prince's carriage.
So the two people walked behind the cavalry and in front of the palace people.
Wen Wan, dressed in heavy clothing, raised her neck and glanced ahead.
On the luxurious carriage, the curtains on the window lifted a corner, and half of Winn's face could be vaguely seen.
He also seemed to be looking in Wen Wan's direction. After the two people looked at each other from a distance, they quickly looked away.
The team only moved forward for a moment, and Wen Wan was already exhausted and sweating profusely.
Who dares to believe that if she continues like this, she will become the first person in the world to have her neck broken by wealth!
