Sensing the scrutiny, Han Si raised his head and met the beauty's gaze, "Sister Yu, I haven't thanked you properly yet. If you hadn't come to inform me in advance, I don't know what would have happened."
"Indeed, if I hadn't gotten the news in advance, you and Jing An might not have been able to escape."
Su Jinyu retracted his gaze, took two bites, put down his chopsticks, and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth.
Then he slowly asked, "How does Han Xiaoshuai want to repay you for saving my life?"
Han Si didn't expect that she would not be polite at all and directly accepted the life-saving favor.
He held his jaw and rolled his eyes, "If Sister Yu is not married, I will definitely marry her."
Su Jinyu saw the teasing in his eyes, "Indeed, it's not bad for you to marry me... After all, I have money and you lack soldiers. Maybe both Qianling and the other two will be yours."
Han Si's eyes gleamed with a gleam, and his shoulders trembled with laughter. "Sister Yu is really funny. If Jing An heard this, he would definitely jump up from the bed and hit me... He saved my life, so I'm going to undermine him."
“That’s right…”
Zhang was horrified when she heard this. How could Qianjiang belong to Han Si? Qianjiang was not her, Su Jinyu's dowry. She could give it to whoever she married.
"You guys should just keep this joke to yourself at home. What will others think if they hear it?"
Su Jinyu seemed to realize what she had said, and she covered her lips and started to joke.
"It's not my fault. Who told Han 꿁帅 to say that he would pledge his love to me?"
"It's my fault," Han Si slapped his mouth lightly, "I always make trouble with this mouth and can't speak."
He changed the subject and looked at Su Jinyu with a smile, "Sister Yu really saved my life. How can I repay you?"
Su Jinyu glanced at Zhang and chuckled, "Then we need to have a good chat."
The word "we" obviously excludes Zhang. Although Zhang wants to continue listening, he is also interested.
"You two, you can't go out today. The Marshal said that things might get a little chaotic today."
Su Jinyu knew that her father-in-law was going to take action today to arrest someone.
He nodded to Zhang and invited Han Si, "My father got some Brazilian coffee, but he can't drink it. Would you like to have a drink with me, Han Si?"
“I couldn’t ask for more”
In the Dudufu Garden, various flowers compete with each other for splendor. Looking around, the entire garden is quite spacious, with green grass and winding paths through it, like a lively ribbon connecting this beautiful scenery.
The two of them sat in the pavilion, and the servants brought them coffee and snacks and then left.
Han Si took a sip of coffee and said, "Sister Yu really knows how to enjoy it. This coffee is not easy to get."
Rubbing the rim of the cup with his fingertips, Su Jinyu said nonchalantly, "As long as you have money, you can get anything."
"Hahaha, yes, yes, I forgot that Sister Yu is a rich person," Han Si pointed at himself, "Look at me, a person with no money and no power, how can I repay you?"
Su Jinyu raised her head, "Lingxi is indeed not as rich as Qianjiang, but Lingxi has a large territory and a large population... and a large number of soldiers. How can you, as the only son of Marshal Han, have no power?"
She pointed at herself and continued, "I am the one without power."
Han Si looked straight at her, "Miss, do you want power?"
Su Jinyu raised her red lips and sneered, "What power do I need as a woman? Even if I hold power, no one will obey me. This is the way the world is."
Han Si smiled and said nothing, waiting for her to come.
"I just want to be friends with you"
"Aren't we friends? We are friends who have been through life and death together."
Su Jinyu said, "My essence is a businessman. What I want are friends with common interests, friends who benefit both others and others. I can get the news in time to save you once, and I can save you a second time..."
"What can I do for you?"
"When you think I am a helpful friend, you will know what you can do for me. Friends should help each other."
Su Jinyu touched the wall of the cup, feeling a little cooler, and took a sip slowly, "I know what Han Xiaoshuai came to Qianjiang for this time."
Han Si was stunned for a moment, tilting his head to look at this arrogant woman in his impression, his eyes curved into a small crescent shape, and said seriously, "I came to Qianjiang to have fun. Now that Lingqian and Lingqian have nothing to do with each other, can I still come here to spy on the military intelligence?"
"I don't care about your military affairs. I'm a businessman. How can I know about those military and national affairs?" Su Jinyu also laughed frivolously. "Whether you come here to have fun or to spy on military intelligence, it has nothing to do with me. If you come here to raise food, as a friend I can help you."
Han Si's eyes darkened.
Since he came to Qianjiang, he has not revealed this matter to anyone and only ordered people to investigate secretly.
Five years ago, Lingxi suffered a widespread locust plague, which destroyed a large number of fields near the autumn harvest season. Lingxi has a large area and the grain production has always been good, and there is still surplus grain to sell to other places.
Originally, Lingxi could make up for the losses caused by the locust plague on its own, but three months ago, Lingxi borrowed a batch of food, and now the granary is empty, and it is still counting on today's harvest.
No one expected such a thing to happen. No one was prepared. As soon as it happened, they immediately ordered people to block the news and secretly buy food from all over the country.
But the trip back and forth took too much time, and a wave of food scramble had already appeared in Lingxi. If there was not enough food, Lingxi might be in chaos.
So he came to Qianjiang to buy food. Lingqian is close to each other and can provide emergency relief.
But before he could make a move, an explosion occurred and he couldn't go out.
If the grain purchase is known to others, there is no guarantee that they will not take advantage of the situation to raise the grain price, or take the opportunity to attack Lingxi.
"Miss Su is such a joke, is Lingxi still short of food?"
Su Jinyu smiled and said, "It seems that I was worrying too much... I was a little worried in Lingxi. I heard that there was a locust plague, which was very widespread and greatly affected the grain production. I thought Han Xiaoshuai came to Qianjiang to borrow grain and buy grain."
The smile on Han Si's face faded a little bit, "Miss Su is really well-informed. I'm afraid the Marshal hasn't received the news yet."
"Businessmen have their own ways," Su Jinyu said, "Wasn't it me who got the news about the explosion first?"
"Ms. Su is really...powerful"
"Supernatural powers don't count, but I have more ways than others."
Han Si put away his cynical look and for the first time regarded the beautiful woman in front of him as an opponent. "Then how do you want to help me as a friend, Miss Su?"
Seeing him ask, Su Jinyu slowly straightened up and sat up, "Qianjiang's grain self-sufficiency is OK, but the grain sold every day is fixed. You want to buy a large amount of grain in a short period of time without making a sound. It is definitely not possible. Within two days, the big grain dealers in Qianjiang will be aware of the problem, and grain prices will inevitably rise, which is not good for you or Qianjiang."
"The government will also be aware of this and will control the sale of food to prevent a shortage in the river."
"You need too much food. Qianjiang can only provide a little bit of emergency food... You don't have enough time to buy food from all over the country. Lingxi must have some chaos and let some people starve to death."
