Sure enough, this trick works, that is, it works on a man like Liu Xuan. Although Liu Xuan had been quite nice to her in the past and seemed to be very fond of her, it was only on the surface. Most of the time, he showed an attitude of forbearance and tolerance. When had he ever been so soft-spoken to her?

Shao was in a trance for a moment, watching Liu Xuan stride in and hold her in his arms, showing rare care and tenderness. Not only did he not blame her for the failure, but he comforted her instead. Every word he said was very heartwarming, and she was a little addicted for a moment.

Although what Shao said was based on advice from someone else, it was mostly what she really thought. She really cared about this man.

"It's my fault. I haven't done such a small thing as my master asked me to do. Please punish me." It was rare for Shao to be so humble. She said with a red face. Her tone was very gentle and a little guilty. Perhaps she felt embarrassed to have her thoughts seen through, so she kept her head down.

Seeing how submissive Shao was, Liu Xuan suddenly felt that he had used the wrong method to treat his wife before. He just happened to see Shao confessing her feelings, so his words were a little more sincere, which moved Shao to this extent.

"Do you really want me to punish you?" Liu Xuan wanted to see if Shao really meant that or was just pretending, so he said it deliberately with some joking intent.

Shao nodded obediently. In the past, the woman who would be arrogant and sharp when her nerves were touched was as obedient as a kitten at this time. After hearing Liu Xuan's words, she nodded immediately, and with a little fear, she suddenly closed her eyes and looked like she was going to give it a go: "Master, punish me, otherwise I will not be at ease."

Liu Xuan was moved for a rare time when he saw Shao like this. Originally, he just wanted to tease Shao and test her at the same time. Seeing that Shao's reaction satisfied him, he picked her up and walked towards the bed.

"Okay, wait and see how I punish you today. No matter what I do to you later, you just have to accept it obediently."

Shao seemed to have just realized what Liu Xuan meant by punishment. Her face turned red for a moment and she buried her head in Liu Xuan's arms, letting Liu Xuan do whatever he wanted. It was a moment of infinite romance.

Seeing Liu Xuan like this, Shao's wet nurse and personal maid retreated with tact and helped the two masters close the door, with relieved smiles on their faces. The young lady finally came to her senses and did not confront the second young master head-on. This is how you should treat men, and using gentleness to overcome strength is the right way.

Perhaps Liu Xuan was really difficult to deal with. After that day, Han Yu became busier and busier, and spent less and less time at home. Sometimes he would not come home for a day or two, let alone care about family matters.

Although she felt a little disappointed, Su Wenyue knew that it was a matter of greater concern and was very considerate of Han Yu. She could only take good care of the children while managing the backyard and the disabled soldiers so as not to let Han Yu worry about these trivial matters.

But on this day, when Su Wenyue was sorting out Han Yu's clothes and asking the maid to take them to wash, she found a bright red mark on Han Yu's clothes. Su Wenyue's eyes fixed, she took it to the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then looked at it carefully and confirmed that it was rouge only used on women.

How could Han Yu's clothes be stained with rouge, which is only used on women's faces? And it was not just the one I saw at the beginning. In addition to the chest, there was also some stain on the sleeves. If Su Wenyue said that Han Yu accidentally stained it while interacting with others, she couldn't convince herself.

What kind of person is Han Yu? He is usually cold and unapproachable, so he is called the "cold-blooded general". Especially because she has always shown that she doesn't like other women to be involved with Han Yu, Han Yu is even more afraid of women. Even if there is a woman who deliberately wants to get close to Han Yu, Han Yu will avoid her.

But the traces of rouge on the clothes today made Su Wenyue not so sure. If it were someone else, it might have been accidentally stained. Han Yu was meticulous and did not like women to get close to him. Even if it was unintentional, the woman must not be an ordinary person. It was impossible for an ordinary woman to get close to Han Yu, not to mention that the rouge was stained in these two places on the clothes.

It was precisely because she knew this that Su Wenyue felt so uneasy. Su Wenyue felt that she believed in Han Yu, but the rouge on her forehead could not be explained.

"Madam, what's wrong with you?" Shuxiang saw Su Wenyue holding Han Yu's clothes in a daze, and her face was not very good, so she looked at the clothes, and did not miss the red marks on the clothes, and her heart felt a little heavy.

They were all maids sent by the Su Mansion, and even though they were now from the Han Mansion, they sided with the general and his wife. Not only that, after living together for so long, the lady was a truly kind and good master, and they already had deep feelings for her. The red marks on the clothes would inevitably make some guesses if anyone saw them, and they didn't want other women to get in between the general and his wife.

After being asked this by Shuxiang, Su Wenyue came back to her senses, suppressed her emotions, and handed the clothes in her hand to Shuxiang.

Shuxiang saw that Su Wenyue had a dull expression on her face, and she was even more worried. After thinking for a while, she said, "Madam, don't worry. We servants can see how much the general loves you. Besides, there are three young masters. Even if the general really..., he will not treat you badly."

Although Shuxiang supports Su Wenyue, it is common for men in this era to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that the general is becoming more and more powerful. Even Shuxiang feels that it is impossible for the general to only stay with his wife, so he can only try his best to comfort his wife. Anyway, there are three young masters, and the three young masters are so smart and will become great in the future. The lady is the principal wife, and no other woman can surpass the lady. As long as the lady does not lose her mind and do too much, she will be disliked by the general.

Shuxiang had this worry because of Su Wenyue's previous actions. The methods used by the Madam in the previous few times were so rough. She was really unsure how the Madam would react. Would she pick up a stick and hit people herself again?

She was not worried that those coquettish women outside would be beaten by the Madam, but she was afraid that the Madam would go too far and make the Madam angry, and become estranged from her. That would be a loss, and the more this happened, the easier it would be for those women with bad intentions to take advantage of the situation.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Madam, even if the general really did, those women are not worthy of your personal attack. There are many ways to teach them a lesson..."

"I know what I am doing. You go down and do your job." Su Wenyue waved her hand and spoke to stop Shuxiang before she could finish.

Not to mention that she had not figured out what had happened yet, the marks on the clothes alone could not explain anything. They just made her guess. She remembered that she had promised Han Yu that no matter what happened, she would ask him in person instead of making wild suspicions and arbitrary judgments.
