Chen Li did not deny that she was a vain woman, otherwise she would not have spent so much effort to move up. She just wanted everyone to look up to her. She is no longer the merchant woman who was despised before. Not only did she prepare military supplies for Liu Xiu, but she also gave Liu Xiu advice on many major events and made many contributions, making those who once looked down on her look at her in new eyes. In front of Liu Xiu, even Yin Lihua had to give in to her, so what if she was his legal wife?
Chen Li was very proud. No matter in ancient times or modern times, people can only rely on themselves. What they have fought for themselves is reliable. There is a saying that goes "Rely on the mountain and the mountain will collapse; rely on the tree and the tree will fall." Obviously, there is truth in this saying.
Even Su Wenyue, as Han Yu's wife, is naturally of noble status and everyone has to look up to her. But so what? All this honor comes from Han Yu. If Han Yu no longer favors her so much one day, I'm afraid her life will not be so easy.
Chen Li used to really envy Su Wenyue for having a man who loved her so devotedly. But now it seems that is not entirely true. Thinking of what she had seen and heard these days, Chen Li looked at Su Wenyue with some sympathy. This silly woman was locked up in the backyard, caring only about her husband and children, and taking care of everything in the backyard. She probably didn't know that her man had an affair with another woman.
When Chen Li first heard the news, she felt a little gloating in her heart. Everyone has their own little thoughts. However, thinking that Su Wenyue was a good person and had done her some favors, Chen Li put away these thoughts and sent someone to inquire around Han Yu to find out more accurate information.
After all, what she heard were just rumors. She had suffered greatly from them before and was made very embarrassed by some false rumors. Who knows if someone would spread them deliberately and let the rumors spread. Chen Li saw how Han Yu treated Su Wenyue, and she also found it hard to believe that Han Yu would really betray Su Wenyue. Not to mention that Su Wenyue was beautiful, gentle and kind, Han Yu’s achievements today were inseparable from the support of the Su family.
However, the news she received disappointed Chen Li. She had thought that this was a unique good man in ancient times, but it turned out that he was a scumbag who loved the new and abandoned his wife. Moreover, the object of his ambiguity was Zhou Yao, who had been driven out of Han Mansion by Su Wenyue.
"Sure enough, all men are bad!" Chen Li said angrily after hearing the news, and asked the servants to continue to stare at Han Yu.
The servant looked panicked and knelt down with a thud: "I dare not. General Han has already discovered that I was trying to find out the general's information. General Han has said that if I dare to do such a thing again, he will take my head."
Chen Li snorted coldly: "He is very arrogant, but it is not a big deal to be arrogant to a slave like you. If you have the ability, don't do such a shameful thing."
The servant naturally did not dare to refute Chen Li, but in his heart he disagreed with what Chen Li said. General Han just fell in love with a woman, which was not a guilty conscience. If it were him, with his current status and position, he would have kept a few women in the backyard. It was said that Madam Han was very jealous. And he hadn't finished speaking yet.
"General Han also said..."
"say what?"
"General Han also told Miss Chen to control her hands and feet and not stretch her arms and legs too far, otherwise don't blame him for being ruthless. Miss Chen must know his methods!" When the servant said this, he deliberately imitated Han Yu's tone, which made Chen Li very angry. Thinking of Han Yu's past methods and the time when she almost had a brush with death, she shuddered and waved her hand to let the servant go.
Chen Li is no longer the naive little girl she used to be. The threat in Han Yu's words was so obvious that she naturally understood what Han Yu meant. He just didn't want her to reveal the news to Su Wenyue.
"You are not a real man. You dare to do things but not take responsibility. Since you want to play with other women, why are you afraid that your wife will find out?"
Chen Li curled her lips and looked down on Han Yu, but she really didn't dare to act rashly. After all, she was still afraid of Han Yu's methods. Even though she had a lot of face in front of Liu Xiu now, her weight could not compare to Han Yu.
Being threatened by Han Yu, Chen Li had to endure it and dared not send anyone to follow Han Yu again. Although it was a bit unfair to Su Wenyue to keep it a secret, she did not expect Han Yu to go even further. He used to flirt with that vixen in secret, but now he has turned to it openly. Sometimes he would bring Zhou Yao, that arrogant woman, to some public places. Even to an important place like a military camp, Han Yu actually disregarded principles and let that woman in.
Chen Li was really upset now. First of all, she really couldn't stand Zhou Yao, that arrogant woman. All the women from the City Lord's Mansion were equally annoying. If this trend continued, Su Wenyue's position would be threatened sooner or later.
Chen Li was able to endure it before because she thought that even if Han Yu was flirting with other women, he would be careful about the limits. This was the bad nature of men. Even if she told Su Wenyue, it would only make Su Wenyue sad. In this damn dynasty, it was normal for men to have three wives and four concubines. There was no way she could ask for a divorce. It was better not to know, although there was some fear of Han Yu in her heart.
But now things have developed to this point. If I don't tell Su Wenyue and let her be prepared, she won't even know that Zhou Yao has plotted against her. It's better to be prepared and make plans early. Zhou Yao is not an ordinary woman. Her status and position are not worse than Su Wenyue's, and may even be higher. She is the cousin of the City Lord's Mansion and is capable of competing with Su Wenyue for the position of the general's wife.
No matter from which aspect, Chen Li absolutely did not want to see Zhou Yao sitting in the position of the general's wife. Chen Li couldn't help it when she thought of this. She hurriedly finished the things in her hands and came to Han's Mansion.
Seeing Su Wenyue welcoming her so sincerely and the innocent and lively smiles on the children's faces, Chen Li felt more and more that Han Yu was a scumbag. Compared to him, who pretended to be devoted and made promises to a woman but then betrayed her, he was better off being like Liu Xiu, who would not be disappointed if he had no expectations.
"Are you and the children doing well these days?" Chen Li asked absentmindedly, not wanting to let Su Wenyue know about such a cruel thing.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"I'm fine, and the children are fine too. Thank you Miss Chen for your concern." Su Wenyue still replied with a smile, but she could see that something was wrong with Chen Li.
"Has General Han been treating you well these days?" Chen Li asked again
"It's fine, but my husband has been very busy recently. He always leaves early and comes back late." Su Wenyue answered like this. She didn't show it on her face, but she was a little worried in her heart. If she said that what she asked before was normal, this question was a little wrong. It sounded very meaningful. She couldn't help but think of the two traces of rouge she found on Han Yu's clothes a few days ago. She had a bad feeling in her heart.
