Without waiting for the butler to speak, Chen Li recounted the two maids' actions in an exaggerated manner, leaving the butler no chance to speak.
Liu Xiu had originally felt somewhat guilty towards Chen Li because of the marriage with the Yin family. Even though he thought Chen Li's request was a bit excessive, he did not refute it. Although the Liu family had always treated servants kindly, it did not mean anything. In the minds of these masters, servants were nothing more than lowly things and were easy to deal with. If he could use two servants to appease Chen Li, naturally there would be no objection. Besides, it was the two maids who had done something wrong. Chen Li had helped him a lot these days and had given him some good ideas, so he still needed this person.
Chen Li felt a little relieved when she saw that Liu Xiu had sold the two maids as she wished. However, Liu Xiu had not yet given her an explanation for the news of his engagement with Yin Lihua. Thinking of this, the smile that had just appeared on her face disappeared, and she looked at Liu Xiu with resentment.
Liu Xiu felt quite uncomfortable being looked at by Chen Li like this, as if he was a heartless man. Although there was indeed some suspicion, Liu Xiu felt that he had no regrets. He had never made any promises to Chen Li, and it was not him who took the initiative to provoke her. Instead, Chen Li turned to him in order to find a backer. Since he had helped Chen Li and helped her gain a foothold, wasn't it natural for Chen Li to repay him?
There is no such thing as taking advantage without suffering any loss in the world. Even now, his attitude towards Chen Li is just that of a subordinate, and there is no overstepping of the mark. It is Chen Li who is delusional. Of course, Liu Xiu is not completely without fault. He sees through Chen Li's thoughts clearly, but because he still wants to use this woman, he did not remind her, nor did he firmly refuse and express his own thoughts.
"Brother Liu, Uncle Wen, I thought you understood my feelings. Why did you want to marry Miss Yin? Did I do something wrong that you treat me like this?"
"Ali, I don't have any romantic feelings for you, so I've never promised anything in this regard. I thought you knew from the beginning that our friendship was built on the basis of mutual benefit. If we have developed a friendship over such a long time, it is different from a romantic relationship."
Chen Li couldn't accept Liu Xiu's words: "Brother Liu, how can you say that? How can it not be a love between a man and a woman? I told you, if you don't have that intention, why don't you refuse?"
Liu Xiu felt a little uncomfortable being questioned by Chen Li: "I admit that I was wrong about this. If you can't accept it, I won't force you. What kind of compensation do you want? As long as it's not too excessive, I will do my best to compensate you within my ability."
What Chen Li longed for was the position of being second to none and standing next to Liu Xiu. How could she care about Liu Xiu's so-called compensation? But things had come to this point, and no matter how stupid Chen Li was, she understood that the marriage between Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua was inevitable and it could not be changed because of her. She still had to think carefully about what to do in the future.
Liu Xiu was very considerate of Chen Li at this moment: "You don't have to make a decision right away. Tell me when you have decided what to do. I will have someone send you back."
Chen Li didn't want to stay any longer, so she nodded and left Liu's house in a daze. Facing such a scumbag, she had thought about breaking up with him, but she didn't have the capital. If she really broke up with Liu Xiu, there would be many people who would want to laugh at her.
Su Wenyue came back from a banquet in the underworld, looking a little uncomfortable. When she got home, she went to see the children first. Seeing that the children were having a good time, she sat under the window in a daze.
When Han Yu came back, he saw a picture of a beautiful woman leaning against a window. He walked over and gently embraced her. He touched her face, which was a little cold. "What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought. Although the weather is still warm now, you can't sit by the window for a long time. If you don't put on more clothes, what will happen if you catch a cold?"
Su Wenyue was lost in thought when she was interrupted by Han Yu's nagging. She simply turned around and let Han Yu carry her away from the window. She looked lazy and listless.
"What's wrong? You look so listless. Did something unpleasant happen at the banquet today? Did someone bully you?" Han Yu felt that his wife would not be unhappy for no reason. There should be nothing at home that bothers his wife. Even if it was because of the children, his wife never thought the children were troublesome. Most likely something happened at the banquet.
Su Wenyue shook her head: "Who can bully me? With your current status, it's too late for others to curry favor with me."
Su Wenyue said this, but she looked a little unhappy, and she didn't even look up at Han Yu. If you didn't know, you would think that Han Yu had offended her.
"What's wrong? You look so listless and negative. I rarely see you like this. But if there is something bothering you, tell your husband and let him guide you." Han Yu said as he caressed Su Wenyue's face affectionately. His voice was exceptionally gentle and patient.
Su Wenyue was finally somewhat pleased to see Han Yu being so gentle, but she did not respond with a smile. Instead, she sat up and glared at Han Yu, saying leisurely, "There are really few good men among you, humph."
At this point, there are some signs. Han Yu finally understood that he was the victim of an unprovoked disaster caused by other men, which is why he was treated coldly and looked down upon by his wife. Thinking of the relationship between Yin Lihua and Chen Li and Liu Xiu, Han Yu seemed to understand what his wife had done today. It's just that his wife had known about this for a long time, and she had no adverse reactions before, but now she has an outburst.
"Wife, what are you saying? If you are dissatisfied with me, your husband, then we need to talk it out. Otherwise, if the misunderstanding continues, it will easily affect the relationship between husband and wife." Han Yu absolutely disagreed with his wife's "hate for everyone" behavior. It seemed that he wanted to have a good talk with Su Wenyue.
"I'm not wrong. Look at you men. Which one of them doesn't have three wives and four concubines once he gets rich? There are a lot of women in the backyard. They forget their old loves when they find new ones. Even that Mr. Liu San is not a good man. Even if Chen Li is that kind of woman, he should be responsible for provoking her. But he got engaged to Miss Yin and didn't even say a word to her. He didn't know the news until he attended the banquet. How much of a blow was that! Miss Yin is talented and beautiful, and can be considered a gentle and virtuous woman. But she let her down in order to consolidate her power. It shows how heartless and unfaithful you men are."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Han Yu heard a few pieces of information from Su Wenyue's words, but none of them were what he cared about the most. Instead, he was concerned about the fact that his wife had confused him with those unfaithful men.
