"Oh, really? I wonder what they are busy with?" Su Wenyue asked casually.
Liu Zhaoshi had nothing to doubt, but she really didn't know that Han Yu was a meticulous person. Since he didn't want Su Wenyue to know, he would naturally expect Su Wenyue's ideas against Liu Zhaoshi and others, so he had already instructed his subordinates. Moreover, this matter had to be kept strictly confidential. Even to a few trusted subordinates, Han Yu only revealed part of it to avoid leaks.
"Who knows? He didn't tell me when I asked him, and even said it's not our business as women. His tone was really infuriating." Liu Zhao couldn't help but complain when she talked about this.
Su Wenyue was a little disappointed when she heard Liu Zhaoshi say that. If Liu Zhaoshi didn't know, then no one else would know either. She also thought that Liu Cong was a man of upright character who couldn't keep secrets, so she specifically went to Liu Zhaoshi to get some information.
"It's the same with our Han Yu. He didn't tell me anything, saying that he didn't want me to worry. But if he really didn't know anything, he would be very unsure."
Zhao felt that what Su Wenyue said made sense: "That's right, I'll go ask her later."
Su Wenyue chatted with Liu Zhaoshi about some other things, which were nothing more than gossips about other people. After chatting for a while, she felt exhausted and sleepy. Liu Zhaoshi said goodbye and went back obediently, but Su Wenyue pretended to stay, so she let Nanny Li send her away properly, not forgetting to take the things she had prepared for the Liu family.
Liu Zhao knew Su Wenyue's personality, so she accepted it without much hesitation. She was very happy in her heart. With these, the family could live a more comfortable life.
When Liu Cong came back in the evening, he saw a sumptuous dinner, with fragrant white rice, roasted chicken, braised pork, and a few things he had never seen before, as well as fashionable vegetables. At this time, even vegetables are very expensive. This table of dishes used to be eaten every once in a while, but now it is a luxury. However, Zhao has always been in charge of family affairs. Liu Cong only brought back food and salary every month. Regardless of these trivial matters at home, Zhao arranged them. Liu Cong knew that Zhao was not the kind of person who would spend money recklessly, so he was just surprised to see this table of sumptuous meals.
"Mother of my child, why is today such a good day? The food is so sumptuous?" Liu Cong sniffed the fragrance and couldn't resist the temptation of the food. He reached out and picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. Zhao saw it and scolded him for a while, but Liu Cong just smiled foolishly.
"It's so delicious. I haven't eaten such delicious food in a long time. I'm so greedy." Liu Cong is a rough man. When he gets excited, he speaks vulgar words.
"What are you talking about? Can't you change your tone? You're acting like a bandit leader. Look at how well-mannered Lord Han is. Can't you learn from him? Go wash your hands quickly and come out to eat." Zhao scolded with a smile, her eyes full of tenderness. Seeing Liu Cong's happy look, she felt happy in her heart.
"Your man is like this and he will never change in his life. Lord Han is a learned man, and I am just a rough man."
"Look at you!"
"Wife, you haven't answered me what day it is today, why is the dinner so sumptuous?"
"It's not a certain day. I went to the Han family today. These were given by Madam Han."
"How can this be good? The world is different now than before. The currency is worthless and things are sold at very high prices. How can we let Madam Han spend so much? My dear, don't take things from Madam Han anymore. It's not easy for every family." Liu Cong didn't agree when he heard that these things were from the Han family.
"I know this truth, so I refused to accept these things when Madam Han gave them to me. But Madam Han said that this was Lord Han's intention. He said that you, his subordinates, have been loyal to Lord Han, and we can't let your family live in misery. These things will not only belong to our family, but also to others who follow Lord Han." Zhao had known that Liu Cong would say this, and was waiting for him with words. However, she was not such a person who didn't know the importance of the matter. She would not accept things that were really not acceptable.
When Liu Cong heard what Zhao said, he was moved and felt that following Lord Han was the best decision he had ever made. Although they had suffered a lot of hardships and dangers, Lord Han really treated them as brothers and cared about them, so it was not worth it.
"Your Excellency is always so kind to us and considerate of us. We work so hard in the military camp, not only to make a future, but also to let our family live a good life. In this case, you should keep the things Madam Han gives you in the future. Anyway, my life, Liu Cong, belongs to yours, and I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation." Liu Cong is a loyal man and he speaks loyal words.
Zhao felt a little unhappy after hearing this. What did they mean by "this life belongs to an adult"? Where would they put her and the child? But after thinking about it, it made sense. She still didn't know her man's temper after so many years. It was unnecessary and not worth it to get angry about this.
"I know you are a man of honor, and I am grateful to Lord Han for his kindness. I won't advise you anything else, but I hope you will think about me and the child when you fight with others. Otherwise, what will happen to us mother and son?" Zhao said with red eyes.
This is what Liu Cong feared the most: "Mother, please don't be like this. I understand. I will be careful in the future and try to avoid danger."
"You need to remember what you said and don't rush in when your mind is hot."
"Yes! Yes!" Liu Cong agreed, and seeing that Zhao still wanted to continue talking, he quickly changed the subject.
"Wife, you haven't been to the Han family for a long time, why did you go there today? What's the matter with Mrs. Han?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"It's nothing. Madam Han is just a little bored, so she sent someone to invite me over to talk to her. Lord Han has been busy these days and has not been home, so Madam Han is quite worried. Husband, do you know what Lord Han has been busy with recently?" Zhao asked specifically, thinking of Su Wenyue's words.
"Why are you asking these questions, woman? Didn't I tell you not to ask? You wouldn't understand what's going on in the military camp even if I told you."
"It's just a question. Why are you so arrogant? Isn't it because Madam Han wants to know about Lord Han's movements and is asking me in a roundabout way? She thought I didn't hear it." Madam Zhao said angrily to Liu Cong. In fact, she didn't see it at first, but after Madam Han asked a few more questions, she understood it.
"Then you can't tell it. Lord Han specifically instructed not to let Madam know. You women are not tight-lipped and it's easy for you to let things slip." Liu Cong admired the Lord even more at this time. He could actually guess that Madam would inquire about the news from their wives.
Zhao didn't think much of it at first, but Liu Cong's words made her suspicious. She felt a pang in her heart, wondering if Lord Han couldn't stand the loneliness and had a mistress outside.
