Chapter 214: Inquiring for Information
"Oh, really? I don't know what they are busy with?" Su Wenyue asked casually.
Liu Zhaoshi didn't have much to doubt, but she really didn't know. Han Yu was a thoughtful person. Since he didn't want Su Wenyue to know, he would naturally expect Su Wenyue's idea of Liu Zhaoshi and others, so he had already told his subordinates, and this matter must be kept strictly confidential. Even for a few trusted subordinates, Han Yu only revealed part of it to avoid the news leaking out.
"Who knows? He didn't tell me when asked, and said that this is not something we women should be in charge of. That tone is really infuriating." Liu Zhaoshi couldn't help complaining about this.
Su Wenyue was a little disappointed when she heard Liu Zhaoshi say this. If Liu Zhaoshi didn't know, others would know even less. She also thought that Liu Cong was a straightforward man who couldn't keep secrets, so she deliberately found Liu Zhaoshi to ask questions.
"It's the same with Han Yu in our family. He didn't tell me anything, saying that he didn't want me to worry, but if he really didn't know anything, he would be unsure."
Zhao felt that what Su Wenyue said made sense: "That's right, I'll go ask later."
Su Wenyue chatted with Liu Zhao about some other things, nothing more than gossips about the neighbors. After chatting for a while, she felt exhausted and very sleepy. Liu Zhao said goodbye and went back, but Su Wenyue pretended to stay, so that Li Mama sent her away properly and didn't forget to bring the things she prepared for the Liu family.
Liu Zhao knew Su Wenyue's temper, so she accepted it without much hesitation. She was still very happy in her heart. With these, the family could live a more comfortable life.
When Liu Cong came back in the evening, he saw that the dinner was very rich, with fragrant white rice, roast chicken, braised pork and a few things he had never seen before, as well as fashionable green vegetables. At this time, even green vegetables are very expensive. This table of dishes could be eaten every once in a while before, but now it is a luxury. However, Zhao had always been in charge of the family affairs. Liu Cong only brought back food and salary every month. No matter how trivial the family affairs were, Zhao arranged them. Liu Cong knew that Zhao was not the kind of person who would spend money recklessly, and was just surprised to see such a rich meal.
"Mother, what good day is today? The meal is so rich?" Liu Cong sniffed the fragrance and sniffed. He couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. He stretched out his hand and pinched a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. Zhao saw it and kept talking about it. Liu Cong just smiled foolishly.
"It's really delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious food for a long time. I'm really greedy." Liu Cong was a rough man. When he was excited, he would say vulgar words.
"What are you talking about? Can't you change your tone? It's like a bandit leader. Look at how well-educated Lord Han is. Can't you learn from Lord Han? Go wash your hands quickly and come out to eat after washing your hands." Zhao scolded with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness. Seeing Liu Cong's happy look, she felt happy in her heart.
"Your husband will never change in his life. Lord Han is a learned man, and I am just a rough man."
"Look at your character!"
"Wife, you haven't answered me what day it is today, why is the dinner so sumptuous?"
"It's not a day. I went to the Han family today. These are all given by Madam Han."
"How can this be good? The world is not as good as before. The currency is worthless, and things are sold at very high prices. How can Madam Han spend so much? Wife, don't take things from Madam Han anymore in the future. It's not easy for anyone." Liu Cong heard that these things came from the Han family and didn't agree.
"I know this truth, so when Madam Han gave me these things, I refused to accept them. But Madam Han said that this was Master Han's intention, saying that you subordinates are loyal to Master Han, and we can't let your family live in misery. These things are not only for our family, but also for others who follow Master." Zhao knew that Liu Cong would say this, and she was waiting for Liu Cong with words, but she was not such a person who didn't know the importance of things. She would not accept things that she really couldn't accept.
Liu Cong was moved when he heard what Zhao said, and felt that following Master Han was the best decision he had made. Although he had suffered a lot of hardships and encountered dangers, Master really regarded them as brothers and kept them in his heart, so what was not worth it.
"Your Excellency is always kind to us and considerate. We fight hard in the military camp. Besides earning a future, we also want our family to live a good life. In this case, you should keep the things that Madam Han gives you in the future. Anyway, my life belongs to you, Liu Cong, and I will go through fire and water for you." Liu Cong is a man of honor, and he speaks words of honor.
Zhao was a little unhappy when she heard this. What does it mean that this life belongs to you? Where does he put her and the child? But it's okay to think about it. After so many years, she still doesn't know her man's temper. It's unnecessary and unworthy to get angry about this.
"I know you are a man of honor. I am grateful for your kindness. I won't advise you anything else. I just hope that when you fight with others, you will think about me and the child. Otherwise, what will happen to us mother and child?" Zhao's eyes reddened as she spoke.
This is what Liu Cong feared the most: "Mother, please don't do this. I know. I will be careful in the future and try to avoid danger."
"You must remember what you said. Don't rush in when your mind is hot."
"Yes! Yes!" Liu Cong agreed. Seeing that Zhao still wanted to continue, he quickly changed the subject.
"Wife, you haven't been to the Han family for a long time. Why did you go there today? What's the matter with Mrs. Han?"
"Nothing, it's just that Madam Han is a little bored, so she sent someone to ask me to go over and talk to her. Lord Han has been busy these days and hasn't been home, so Madam Han is worried. Husband, do you know what Lord Han has been busy with recently?" Zhao asked specifically thinking of Su Wenyue's words.
"Why are you asking these questions as a woman? Didn't I tell you not to ask? You don't understand what's going on in the military camp even if I tell you."
"It's just asking, why are you so arrogant? Madam Han wants to know what Lord Han is doing, so she's asking me in a roundabout way, thinking I didn't hear it." Madam Zhao scolded Liu Cong. In fact, she didn't see it at first, but later Madam Han asked a few more questions, and she understood it.
"Then you can't say it, Lord Han specifically told you not to let Madam know, and you women are not tight-lipped and it's easy to leak it." Liu Cong admired the Lord even more at this time, and he could actually guess that Madam would get information from their daughter-in-law.
Zhao didn't think much of it at first, but Liu Cong's words made her suspicious. She felt a pang in her heart, wondering if Lord Han couldn't stand the loneliness and had a mistress outside.
