Chapter 606
Han Yu must have a reason for saying this. Su Wenyue understood it as soon as she heard it. It turned out that Shao Shi was not too arrogant, but deliberately targeting her. The reason must be related to Han Yu's outside affairs.
Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu, waiting for Han Yu to explain her doubts. It was not that she was completely curious. She was integrated with the inside and outside. Only when she understood the cause and effect of the matter could she deal with the relationships in the back house more calmly. For example, today Shao Shi targeted her for no reason. She was really confused at the time. If she hadn't been smart and strong, she would have reacted immediately and counterattacked in a favorable way. She might have been trampled by Shao Shi. It was just her. Not everyone was as smart as her. Haha, she seemed to be boasting about herself.
Han Yu didn't want Su Wenyue to worry too much, so he didn't tell her everything, but he didn't expect Liu Xuan to be so despicable. He couldn't do anything to him, so he set his sights on his wife. This was no different from the people in the court at the beginning.
"I originally thought that the City Lord's Mansion was friendly to us, otherwise they would not accept your surrender. The attitude of the City Lord's wife is indeed very enthusiastic, but Shao's attitude is like this. I'm afraid it's a conflict within the City Lord's Mansion?" Su Wenyue had already said most of it as soon as she opened her mouth.
Han Yu nodded: "Liu Xuan, the second son of City Lord Liu Wenyong, is not a good person, but he is good at using conspiracy and tricks, and is very good at winning people's hearts. Moreover, his wife's family is a very prestigious and powerful family in Peicheng, so he is particularly ambitious and unwilling to be inferior to others. Not only does he want to suppress his brothers and inherit everything in the City Lord's Mansion, but he is also ambitious for the world. He is quite dissatisfied that we are just borrowing the place of Peicheng instead of belonging to the City Lord."
"Liu Xuan's ambition is indeed big enough, but since he dared to let Shao do it so blatantly, even the City Lord's wife doesn't care, he must rely on something, you have to be careful." Su Wenyue said with a worried look.
She vaguely remembered that Liu Xuan seemed to have been in power for a period of time, but she was not very clear about the details. At that time, she was enjoying herself in the backyard, and she was far away and had nothing to do with her. She didn't pay much attention to these things outside. She had an impression of Liu Xuan because Liu Xuan was very popular at that time, and occasionally the servants talked about it and heard about it.
Now that I think about it, Liu Xuan must be the winner among the three brothers, but Liu Xiu and Han Yu are more optimistic about the eldest son Liu Qin, which is troublesome.
Since Su Wenyue thought of it, she told Han Yu what she knew and some of her thoughts, hoping to give Han Yu some reference and help. Even if she couldn't resolve the conflict with Liu Xuan, at least she could be more cautious and plan a response and retreat. Han Yu and Liu Xiu succeeded in their previous life. I don't know how it happened. In this life, many things have changed because of her rebirth. What Su Wenyue fears most is the variables here.
Han Yu listened to Su Wenyue's words, his eyes deepened, and his face was a bit solemn. Originally, he and Liu Xiu did realize that Liu Xuan was too powerful in Peicheng. Now it seems that Liu Xuan is more difficult to deal with than they imagined. Liu Wenyong now obviously prefers his kind and generous eldest son, and has no intention of changing. He suppresses Liu Xuan's power openly and secretly, and finally allows Liu Xuan to succeed, which shows that Liu Xuan can control more than what they have found now.
Thinking of this, Han Yu immediately stood up: "I still have some things to deal with, you take a rest first, I'm afraid I won't be back too early, don't wait for me."
Han Yu strode out after speaking. He thought that the original arrangements and plans were already very thorough. With his wife's reminder, he felt that the previous arrangements were far from enough. If they were not careful, they would fall into a big trap. After the previous battle with the court, they didn't have much capital left, and they couldn't stand the tossing for the time being, otherwise why would they come to Peicheng.
"I know. You should be careful. Since Liu Xuan dares to target me so blatantly, I'm afraid he won't be polite to you either. Don't let anyone take advantage of you." Su Wenyue warned worriedly, watching Han Yu leave and then went to the three little guys.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's wife was helpless with Shao Shi on weekdays. She finally caught the handle. Shao Shi's mistakes were not ordinary small mistakes. Naturally, she would not easily expose them. She scolded Shao Shi for a long time and punished Shao Shi before letting him go. However, that was all. Who let Shao Shi's family be so powerful? She could only do this, which was also a relief.
Following Shao Shi out of the main room, several maids were cautious. Looking at the second young master's wife who looked very ugly, their skins were tense. Today, the second young master's wife suffered one after another. This was unprecedented. I'm afraid she was angry.
"Madam, although those bitches are hateful, you still have your family to support you. If anyone makes you angry, just let them teach you a lesson. Don't get yourself hurt." After entering the room, only Shao's personal maid and wet nurse advised earnestly.
"Why should I be angry? I'm not angry at all." Shao entered the room and the anger on her face disappeared. She said expressionlessly.
The personal maid and wet nurse thought Shao was speaking in a sarcastic way. In fact, Shao's usual temper never tolerated the slightest loss. Today, she was counterattacked and ridiculed by Madam Han in front of everyone, and was taught a lesson by Madam for so long, and was also punished. Such a calm reaction was really abnormal. Madam must have been mad and became abnormal.
Shao saw that the nanny and the head maid were looking at her with concern and worry. She knew what they were thinking without thinking, and her expression relaxed a little: "You don't need to speculate. I am not crazy, nor have I lost my mind. Since I did this at the banquet, I can foresee the consequences. I am arrogant and domineering on weekdays. Madam hates me so much. It's strange that she didn't use this to embarrass me. As for Madam Han, her performance really made me look at her in a new light. She is really a very powerful and interesting woman."
The nanny and the maid saw Shao like this and knew that Shao was really not angry. They breathed a sigh of relief. But when they mentioned Su Wenyue, they frowned and had some questions.
"Madam, Su is so presumptuous, are you really going to let her go? She has offended you anyway." The nanny and the maid recalled the scene at the banquet. Although those people did not dare to laugh at Madam openly, they looked at her with ridicule and contempt. This was all because of Su. They would not be willing to let Su Wenyue go.
Shao was not the same as before. A sneer hung on the corner of her mouth: "I am afraid that someone is eager for me to deal with Su. Why should I please them?"
