Chapter 595 A Gentleman's Promise
"General Han's visit really makes my city lord's palace shine. Please come!" Liu Wenyong had a good impression of Han Yu, and Liu Xiu was even more interested in making friends with him.
Liu Wenyong could see clearly that in the current situation, although he now occupies the territory as the main one, neither rebels nor interacts with the court, he seems to be very comfortable and majestic, but it is not a long-term solution. Things in this world are not east wind. To overwhelm the west wind means that the west wind overwhelms the east wind, and one day the winner will be decided.
The reason why he agreed to Liu Xiu's surrender was because of Liu Xiu's extraordinary bearing. Even though he was down and out, there were still so many capable people and strangers who were willing to follow Liu Xiu and be used by Liu Xiu. To do this, it definitely took more than just words. It can be achieved if you have some skills to win over people's hearts, especially for a talent like Han Yu, who is obviously not as capable as Liu Xiu, but is willing to follow him, which shows that there is something extraordinary about Liu Xiu.
With Liu Xiu's ability, even though he is weak now, he may not be able to sit in that position one day. Liu Xiu trusts Han Yu very much. As far as Han Yu is concerned, this young man is also said to have extraordinary abilities. Extraordinary abilities are secondary, but the real thing is the ability to manipulate people's hearts.
Liu Wenyong has lived to this age, and he is not one of those short-sighted people. Looking at Han Yu's cold and rejecting appearance, he thinks that Han Yu is unreasonable and tactless. If this is the case, it is impossible to gain Liu Xiu's trust. Still under that premise , there are some things that even Liu Xiu himself may not have noticed, but Liu Wenyong can see it. The so-called bystander knows that no matter what happens in the future, Han Yu will have a bright future. Liu Wenyong values Liu Xiu, and a large part of the reason is because of Han Yu Assist Liu Xiu.
Although Han Yu came to seek justice for his daughter-in-law, he still had to be careful. One thing Zhou Yao said was right. Now they were seeking refuge in Peicheng and relying on Peicheng for survival. It was not appropriate to break up with Liu Wenyong for the time being. Of course, , for the sake of Zhou Yao, we wouldn’t go to this extent.
Han Yu had dealt with Liu Wenyong several times and knew that Liu Wenyong was a smart man. Liu Wenyong could not have instigated what Zhou Yao did, and Liu Wenyong might not even know about it. Seeing Liu Wenyong treat him with such courtesy, Han Yu also restrained his expression. Unpleasant look.
"City Lord, you're welcome, Yu came to the door to make trouble."
"No need to bother me, it's an honor." Liu Wenyong said, and enthusiastically welcomed Han Yu into the hall, served him some fine tea, and exchanged a few words with Han Yu before mentioning the purpose of Han Yu's visit.
"I heard from the housekeeper that Uncle Wen and General Han are here for private matters?" Liu Wenyong actually saw the unhappy look on Han Yu's face just now. Since Han Yu came to visit, he probably had something to do with the city lord's palace. This puzzled Liu Wenyong. Because of his inner considerations, he was very polite to Liu Xiu and his party, and also gave instructions to the people below him. No one should dare to treat them lightly. And who is Han Yu? Ordinary trivial matters He wouldn't come to his door, so he was anxious to ask what was going on.
Hearing Liu Wenyong mention it, Han Yu stood up and cupped his hands: "Yu came here this time to apologize to the city lord on behalf of his wife. The wife drove Miss Zhou Biao out of the mansion because she was too angry because of the stimulation. That’s why I did such an inappropriate thing, and I didn’t mean any disrespect to the City Lord’s Mansion. I also ask the City Lord to forgive my wife for her unintentional mistake.”
As Han Yu said this, he bowed down and bowed to Liu Wenyong, expressing his apology in a very sincere manner.
Liu Wenyong was stunned by Han Yu's sudden action and did not react. He was too surprised for the moment, so he watched Han Yu salute and apologize to him.
"W-what's going on?" Liu Wenyong had no time to react, so he had to ask first to find out what was going on.
Han Yu just listed what Zhou Yao did in the Han family today. What Zhou Yao did was already excessive enough, and there was no need to add anything more. Han Yu did not deliberately distort or fabricate the facts, but used a little language. As for art, as for what Liu Wenyong thinks, he can't control it.
Liu Wenyong originally didn't like Zhou Yao, a niece who lived in the city lord's palace. When they first met, he felt that this niece was not pure in mind, not to mention that she was not his niece. For the sake of his wife, he didn't care much. Eating with one mouth, for Zhou Yao, he simply ignored such an existence, but he didn't expect that this existence that he ignored would do such a thing based on his identity, which made Liu Wenyong angry!
"City Lord, Yu admires you as a person and is grateful for your kindness. However, Yu already has a wife who shares the same joys and sorrows, and he really can't accept your cousin. Yu and his wife met when they were young. At that time, my wife did not dislike me because I was married to a farmer. You gave me what I have today. Now I have a career. Not to mention that my wife is gentle and virtuous, and she has given birth to children for me. I have no reason to abandon her, but she did something wrong. I have also promised her that she will only have one wife in this life, and there will be no other women. A gentleman will never break his promise, so I ask the city lord to forgive me. If the city lord really has a grudge because of this, Yu is willing to leave Peicheng with his wife!" Han Yu spoke loudly and without any hesitation or force.
After what Han Yu said, Liu Wenyong was not angry, but actually felt a bit of admiration. It was easy to say that he could keep his wife and keep his promise even when he was rich and powerful, but how many people actually did it? What's more, he didn't have that intention in the first place. It was just Zhou Yao who made his own decision and used his name to pretend to be powerful.
"General Han, please don't say that. I will die of shame! It was not my fault in the first place. It was my lack of discipline in the City Lord's Mansion that allowed that bastard to act recklessly under the guise of the City Lord's Mansion. It was my fault in the first place, Han. General, please don’t take offense, I will definitely teach her a lesson and give her an explanation!”
Liu Wenyong had no affection for Zhou Yao to begin with. He treated her as if she didn't exist for the sake of his wife. Once his interests and bottom line were violated, he would never be soft on Zhou Yao.
"Come here, bring Miss Cousin here immediately! I want to ask her, when did I let her go to General Han's Mansion under the guise of the City Lord's Mansion to do such a shameless thing? It's just a shame for us. The face of the City Lord's Mansion tells her to come here immediately!" Liu Wenyong said angrily to the servants!
Han Yu had no intention of staying. The purpose of his coming today has been achieved. It would be bad to stay any longer: "City Lord, Yu just came here today to confirm the City Lord's intention. Now that he has understood it, he feels relieved. No more stopping."
