Chapter 408 Only Possible
"I said that if you want to stay with me, you should know your duty, what to ask and what not to ask. I thought you already understood it very well?" Liu Xiu's words were the most severe warning to Chen Li. If Chen Li was still so ignorant, even if he wanted Chen Li to check and balance the Su family, he would not keep Chen Li. Moreover, Liu Xiu might not really know Chen Li's feelings for Han Yu. Once such a woman has interests, it is not impossible for her to turn against him.
Chen Li did not expect that the test would fail. She was on guard against Liu Xiu's severe warning. Does this mean that if she is still ignorant, he will not want to keep her?
Chen Li believed that her understanding was absolutely correct. While she was afraid and worried, she was also quite angry and annoyed in her heart. Sure enough, men are ungrateful. When Liu Xiu was in trouble, she helped him a lot. Now he turned his face and refused to recognize people as soon as he got the upper hand. Where is the patience to accommodate him? But even so, she could not do anything to Liu Xiu. Apart from what Liu Xiu brought her, she was just a businessman. Whether it was before or now, she had no capital to turn against Liu Xiu.
"Brother Liu, I, I'm just worried about you. If you don't want to talk, just don't talk. Why are you so fierce? You make people feel uncomfortable!" No matter what Chen Li thought in her heart, she looked pitiful and sad, as if she had been bullied.
Liu Xiu didn't really mean to abandon Chen Li now. Seeing Chen Li showing weakness, he also took advantage of the situation and softened his attitude.
"Li Niang, it's not that I'm so cruel, but you know my ambition. If you want to achieve that goal, some things must be strictly required, and the inside and outside must be clear. You can't cross the line. In the future, don't speculate and ask about things that you shouldn't ask about. When I achieve my wish one day, I won't treat you unfairly." Liu Xiu was giving Chen Li a slap in the face and a sweet date. He knew that the woman's idea of using tough means would not work, so he comforted Chen Li appropriately and tempted her with benefits.
"Brother Liu, I was wrong. I won't ask about things that I shouldn't ask about in the future. Will you still be as nice to me as before?" Chen Li despised Liu Xiu's behavior in her heart, but now Liu Xiu is her only backer, and he is the person who sits in that position in the official history. All she can do is compromise.
Liu Xiu was very satisfied with Chen Li's performance. This woman has one good point, that is, she knows the current situation.
Han Yu came out of Liu's house and secretly asked people to pay attention to Chen Li's movements. Chen Li's coming here today is enough to show that this woman has lost her patience and wants to attack Tianya Pavilion. As for Liu Xiu, he believes that Liu Xiu is a man who knows what to do and will not attack his wife for a woman. Moreover, it is not appropriate for him to do anything more in Liu's house at this time. Although there are nails planted by him around Liu's house, they cannot be used without any reason.
Liu Xiu now seems to value and trust him very much. Han Yu knows that this is only on the surface. In fact, Liu Xiu has doubts and suspicions about him in his heart. If he were in his shoes, he would do the same. After all, their friendship was not that deep before, so how could they be completely open-hearted and trusting? Liu Xiu was very gentlemanly to be able to do what he did now, and now was the time for Liu Xiu to test and observe him. He must not let anything go wrong, otherwise it would not be easy to make up for it, and it was more likely that everything he had done before would be ruined. He could not take any risks in this matter.
"Wife, you have to be careful these days. Let Uncle Fu not be busy with other things for the time being, and keep an eye on Tianya Pavilion. Although Manager Yu is loyal and tactful, he is still a little less shrewd. If he encounters those cunning and calculating people, he will suffer losses if he is not careful." Han Yu could not use Liu Fu's nails for this matter, but he could prevent it from the front. No matter what means Chen Li used, there would be no problem with an old hand like Fu Lu watching.
Su Wenyue heard Han Yu suddenly say this, her eyes turned: "Husband, but is there any movement from Chen Li?"
Han Yu saw that his wife was smart. Since she opened the shop, her mind has been turning faster. He touched his wife's head and said: "There are some signs, but don't worry. Just let Uncle Fu keep an eye on it, and there will be no big problems. Although Chen Li is very capable, she is still not Uncle Fu's opponent."
Han Yu said, and then told about what he saw Chen Li in Liu's house today. Su Wenyue's opinion was consistent with Han Yu. At this time, Chen Li's approach to Liu Xiu was definitely not as simple as keeping in touch, but there was no need to worry too much. Just be careful. Without Liu Xiu's support, Chen Li could not make a big wave with her own means. Moreover, since the day of opening, Tianya Pavilion and Xiuli Department Store have been different in level, and this fact cannot be easily changed.
As for Chen Li, neither Han Yu nor Su Wenyue liked her very much. After the matter was decided, they did not mention it again, but talked about the current situation in Yiyang Prefecture.
Although Yiyang Prefecture now looks peaceful and tranquil, Su Wenyue knows that this peace is only temporary after experiencing the events of her previous life. The court cannot allow the "rebels" to be arrogant for too long. Moreover, the reason why Han Yu and his men were able to capture Yiyang Prefecture was probably because General An gave in. If they really fought, the outcome would still be unknown.
Although Han Yu learned the Art of War from Sun Tzu and became more and more proficient in arranging troops and formations, and had many tricks, he was still just a newborn calf and lacked some experience. How could he compare to General An, who had been on the battlefield for a long time? In addition, Liu Xiu was also at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. If the court sent people again, there might be changes. Recently, there were many rumors that General An was persuaded by the court.
General An chose to give in because he was grateful to Han Yu and his wife for saving his wife and children and taking care of them. He was also dissatisfied with the court and did not want to be driven by the treacherous officials of the court. Instead of fighting for the treacherous officials and fighting to the death with Liu Xiu and Han Yu, it would be better to defend his own territory and army.
"Husband, are the recent rumors true? General An really intends to counterattack Yiyang Prefecture?" Su Wenyue was a little worried. It was also her fault that she didn't pay attention to these things in her previous life. In addition, things have changed too much in this life, and she couldn't guess what the situation was.
Han Yu didn't know how to answer his wife's question for a while. The rumors in the market were half true and half false. It was true that the court sent people to win over General An, but it was still unknown on General An's side. How things would develop depended on General An's attitude.
"Madam, your letter."
At this time, the servant sent a letter over, and it was still an urgent letter without a signature. Su Wenyue's face was happy. The letter sent in this way could only be...
