Han Yu must have had a reason for saying this. Su Wenyue understood as soon as she heard it. It turned out that Shao was not being too arrogant, but was deliberately targeting her. The reason must be related to Han Yu's affairs outside.
Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu, waiting for him to explain her doubts. She was not completely curious. She had to understand the cause and effect of things before she could deal with the relationships in the backyard 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 fought back. 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. However, 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 imperial court.
"I originally thought that the City Lord's Mansion was friendly to us, otherwise they would not have accepted your surrender. The City Lord's wife's attitude is indeed very enthusiastic, but the Shao family behaves like this. I'm afraid there is a conflict within the City Lord's Mansion?" Su Wenyue had already hit most of the nail on the head as soon as she opened her mouth.
Han Yu nodded. "The second son of City Lord Liu Wenyong, Liu Xuan, is not a very good person, but he is good at using conspiracy and tricks, and he is very good at winning people's hearts. His wife's family is a very prestigious and powerful family in Pei City, so he is very 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 also has his sights set on the world. He is quite dissatisfied that we are just borrowing the land of Pei City, but it does not belong to the City Lord."
"Liu Xuan's ambition is indeed big enough. However, since he dares to let Shao do it so blatantly and even does not care about the city lord's wife, he must have something to rely on. You have to be careful." Su Wenyue said with a worried look on his face.
She vaguely remembered that Liu Xuan seemed to be in power for a period of time, but she was not clear about the details. At that time, she was having fun in the back house, and it 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 she occasionally heard about it when the servants talked about it.
Now it seems that 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, who is born out of wedlock. This is a problem.
Since Su Wenyue thought of it, she told Han Yu everything she knew and some of her thoughts, hoping to give Han Yu some reference and help. Even if she couldn't resolve the situation with Liu Xuan, at least she could be more cautious and plan a response and retreat. Han Yu and Liu Xiu were successful in their previous life, but she didn't know how it happened. In this life, many things have changed because of her rebirth. What Su Wenyue fears most is the variables involved.
Han Yu listened to what Su Wenyue said, his eyes darkened a little, and his face was a little 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-hearted eldest son, and has no intention of changing his mind. He suppresses Liu Xuan's power openly and secretly, and finally allows Liu Xuan to succeed, which means that the power that Liu Xuan can control is not just what they have found out 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."
After Han Yu finished speaking, he strode out. He originally thought that the original arrangements and plans were already very thorough, but after his wife's reminder, he felt that the previous arrangements were far from enough. If they were not careful, they would suffer a big setback. After the previous battle with the court, they did not have much capital left, and could not withstand the tossing for the time being, otherwise why would they have come to Peicheng for refuge.
"I understand. You have to be careful too. 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, watched Han Yu leave, and went to the three little guys.
In the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's wife was helpless with Shao on weekdays. She finally got hold of the evidence. Shao's mistake was not an ordinary small mistake, so she would naturally not let it go easily. She scolded Shao for a long time and punished him before letting him go. But that was all. After all, Shao's family was powerful, so she could only do this, and she felt relieved.
Following Shao out of the main room, several maids were all cautious. They looked at the Second Young Master's Wife who had a very unsightly expression and their skin tensed up. Today, the Second Young Master's Wife suffered one setback after another, which had never happened before. She must be very angry.
"Young Madam, although those bitches are hateful, you still have your family's support behind you. Whoever makes you angry will be taught a lesson later. Don't get sick from anger." After entering the room, only Shao's personal maid and wet nurse began to advise her earnestly.
"Why should I be angry? I'm not angry at all." Shao entered the room and the anger on his face disappeared. He said expressionlessly
The personal maid and the wet nurse both thought that Shao was speaking in a sarcastic way. It was indeed Shao's usual temper that she could not bear the slightest loss. Today, she was counterattacked and ridiculed by Madam Han in front of everyone, and was scolded by the lady for so long and was punished. It was really abnormal for her to have such a calm reaction. The young lady must have been mad with anger, which was why she became abnormal.
Seeing the wet nurse and the head maid looking at her with concern and worry, Shao knew what they were thinking without having to think, 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 it to embarrass me. As for Madam Han, her performance really impressed me. She is really a very powerful and interesting woman."
When the wet nurse and the maid saw Shao like this, they knew that she was really not angry anymore, and they felt relieved. However, when Su Wenyue was mentioned, they frowned and looked a little doubtful.
"Young Madam, Su is so outrageous, are you really going to let her go? She has offended you anyway." The wet nurse and the maid recalled the scene at the banquet. Although those people did not dare to laugh at the Young Madam openly, the way they looked at her was clearly full of ridicule and contempt. This was all because of Su. They would not be willing to let Su Wenyue go.
However, Shao Shi was not the same as before. She had a sneer on her face: "I'm afraid someone is eager for me to deal with Su Shi. Why should I please them?"
