Chapter 288 Baise City

Zi Shu nodded, then seeing that the soup on the table was about the right temperature, she walked to the table, picked up the soup and handed it to Chen Zhoufu.

"Master, I heard the maid tell me about the last time Lord Lu came to our house. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Lord Lu has feelings for our Second Young Miss. But Lord Lu is a fourth-rank general. How can he marry a concubine's daughter..."

Looking at Chenzhoufu's face, which seemed to be in deep thought, he saw that he didn't look angry at all.

Zishu continued to speak.

"Master, why don't you make Concubine Liu your legitimate wife? The Second Miss will also become a legitimate daughter, matching Lord Lu's status, and solving the Xu family's interference. Concubine Liu has a gentle temperament, as you know, and she won't pose any threat to the Eldest Miss and the Young Master in the future. Besides, Concubine Liu only has the Second Miss as her daughter."

There was a smile in Chenzhoufu's eyes, and he drank two sips of soup.

"Zi Shu, meeting you is truly a great blessing for me. You're usually not competitive, but you're always there to help me out at critical moments. It's true that you're right to remind me of this. Luo Yun is also my daughter, so I should consider her."

Things were basically done, Zishu felt at ease and had a decent smile on her face.

"Master, how does this soup taste? Do you like it?"

Chenzhoufu took another sip.

"Yeah, very good."

Zishu spoke considerately.

"Then drink some more, Master. I will ask the kitchen to stew some for you tomorrow."

Chenzhoufu drank his soup and spoke thoughtfully.

"Your suggestion to promote Concubine Liu is indeed a good one, but Zishu, Concubine Liu's health is not very good. I don't know if she can manage the chores of the family. I haven't even heard that she can manage the household before."

After hearing this, Zishu spoke again considerately.

"Master, since Concubine Liu was able to raise such a capable person as the Second Young Miss, she must be quite capable herself. However, Concubine Liu's body really shouldn't be overworked. I don't know much else, but I can manage the account books and train some of the maids and servants. If Master and Concubine Liu don't mind, I am willing to assist Concubine Liu wholeheartedly so that Master doesn't have to worry about the trivial matters in the harem."

Jun family.

Su Hanchu was holding Chen'er and playing with him.

Ping'er came in from outside and bowed.

"lady."

Su Hanchu glanced at her and continued to tease Chen'er.

"I'm back."

Ping'er walked forward and spoke with a smile.

"It's done. The maids to be sent to Zishu have also been selected. They will be sent in when there is a chance. One of them is knowledgeable in pharmacology. However, Madam, you don't have to do what you asked me to do before, to find a fertility-enhancing prescription for Zishu."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu turned his head and looked at Ping'er.

"Oh, Zishu is pregnant?"

Ping'er was smiling.

"Yes, Zishu gave the letter. She has been pregnant for almost two months, but the Chenzhou government has been very busy these past two months, so Zishu kept it to herself and waited for the right opportunity to speak out."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu smiled and nodded slightly.

"He's quite capable. How's the person prepared for Hanzhi doing now?"

Ping'er continued speaking after hearing this.

"They are all well-trained and fully understand the rules of the Imperial City. Their behavior is similar to that of the maids in the noble houses. Moreover, they are all drugged. The people we have planted in the convoy will give them the antidote once, and their absolute loyalty can be guaranteed."

Jun Moye opened the door and came in at this time.

"What are you two, master and servant, talking about?"

Then he reached out to Chen'er with a smile on his face.

"Chen'er, come and give your father a hug."

Su Hanchu spoke with a smile.

"We're talking about choosing a maid."

Then he spoke to Ping'er.

"You've been busy all day, go down and rest early. You won't be needed here. I'll tell Caiyue if there's anything."

Ping'er bowed and saluted after hearing this.

"Yes, I'll take my leave."

After Ping'er left, Jun Moye spoke while holding Chen'er in his arms.

"It seems that everything has been arranged almost perfectly, Madam."

Su Hanchu sat on the chair and found a comfortable position leaning back.

"It's almost done. Hanzhi is in charge of the people's finances, and Chen Luoyun and Liu Ling are in charge of Yue Manting together. I can now be a hands-off manager and feel happy just thinking about the money coming in every day."

Jun Moye looked at her with a smile.

"We have the situation in the northwest under control. Once Li Xiao is confirmed as the commander-in-chief of the northwest, everything will be basically settled."

Indeed, except for Song Huaian, the newly promoted people in the Northwest are basically trained by the Jun family. Su Hanchu can even imagine what it will feel like to be able to dominate the Northwest in the future.

"Are we now considered the local tyrants in the northwest?"

Jun Moye spoke slowly.

"Almost. The military power is already under our control, and the economic affairs are in your hands, Madam. However, Madam, I'm afraid we won't be able to enjoy a leisurely life for much longer."

After hearing this, Su Hanchu restrained the smile on his face.

"My husband, are you ready to go back and settle accounts with those people?"

Jun Moye shook his head slightly after hearing this.

"We are not going back yet. We have children. There are so many people in the Jun and Su families. To fight against those people in the Imperial City, we must accumulate strength and find a way to retreat."

Su Hanchu spoke in confusion.

"So what are your plans next, my husband?"

Jun Moye looked at Su Hanchu and spoke.

"Madam, I heard that there's a lawless area between several countries called Baise City. There, strength reigns supreme. There are extremely vicious criminals, as well as fugitives from other countries who have committed crimes and have nowhere else to go.

After so many years of development, a city has slowly formed, but it's too chaotic there. It also happens to be a place connecting several countries, and no one wants to watch another country take it. Madam, are you interested in trying it out?"

Su Hanchu suddenly became interested after hearing this. With his personality, if he really let himself be idle, he would get moldy.

"If my husband wants to break through, I will naturally follow him. Who knows, maybe I can even become the wife of a city lord in the future."

Jun Moye looked at the light in her eyes. The lady and her husband had been planning in the northwest for so long, and had spent too much energy and money, but they couldn't even have a decent identity. The young master felt a little aggrieved.

"Since Madam wants to be the City Lord's wife, then I will take over Baise City. When the time comes, don't mention being the City Lord's wife. If Madam wants to be the City Lord, it will be a piece of cake."
