Chapter 183 Does the General need to be reasonable?
In the end, Mrs. Hu was unable to get rid of these bad guests in her home. The people from the Liu family simply ignored her attitude and stayed in the Liu Mansion. This made her feel helpless.
If it were any other time, faced with such a reality, Mrs. Hu might have endured it, but now, she doesn't want to endure it, because she has a man she can rely on and she wants to rely on.
So when the Liu family moved into the Liu Mansion, Mrs. Hu left home.
"That witch has gone out." The old woman who had moved into Liu's mansion and had no intention of leaving occupied the soft couch that once belonged to Madam Hu. She felt that city people really knew how to enjoy themselves. They must have slept soundly on such a soft bed. Because of Liu Yi's relationship, they could be considered country tycoons and could barely get close to the powerful. From this point of view, Yang Chong's family background was not as good as theirs.
But the country tycoons are just country tycoons after all. How can they compare with the top dignitaries in South Korea? So after entering Liu's house, they were all dazzled, especially since they would have the opportunity to get everything in front of them in the future, which made people even more excited.
"Yes, she went out, aunt. Do you think she went to find someone for help and wanted to drive us away?" asked another middle-aged woman.
Although Madam Hu is weak and can be bullied, her sister is not someone who can be bullied. If Madam Hu asks her sister for help, it would not be easy for them to swallow up the inheritance left by Liu Yi.
"What right does she have to chase us away? Even if the case is brought to the king, we are in the right." The old lady didn't care. In this era, although the patriarchal system was constantly being destroyed, the clan was still continuing. Since Liu Yi had no descendants, it was reasonable and moral to adopt a child from the Liu family to continue the sacrifices.
"But her sister is not an ordinary person after all. She is the king's favorite concubine." The middle-aged woman said worriedly.
"What's wrong with the king's favorite concubine? Can the king's favorite concubine be unreasonable? Besides, we are doing this for her own good. If it weren't for her sister, a woman who has been married for more than ten years but has not given birth to any children would have been kicked out long ago." The old woman spoke in a grim tone. She had seen everything at this age. Couldn't she control Madam Hu, who was in her thirties and still knew nothing?
"But her sister is the king's favorite concubine after all, and we can't afford to offend the king."
Although King An of Han was a character who could be bullied at will in the Qin State, but in the Han State, he was the sky, although this sky was a little fragile.
"It's okay. Didn't we drive her out? Although Kuan'er was adopted by Liu Yi, she is still the owner of this mansion. We are doing this for her own good. Brother has never treated her unfairly." The old woman said. She thought she had handled this matter very well. Mrs. Hu had no reason to object, even though she might be reluctant in her heart.
Having lived to such an old age, she knew very well that Mrs. Hu was a weak person. Even if she was dissatisfied, she would not show it. Tolerance was her choice.
As the saying goes, people become more shrewd as they grow older. What she said was true to some extent. She had a firm grasp of the world and people's hearts, but some things were illogical. She only thought that she could grasp Mrs. Hu, but she didn't know that Mrs. Hu was different now. Although she still had the same personality as before, she now had a man she could rely on.
"Should I not have come?" In the General's Mansion, Mrs. Hu looked at Yang Chong anxiously. She appeared in front of Yang Chong at this time to ask for help.
When a woman is in trouble, the only person she can think of is her man.
"No, I'm just a little surprised." Yang Chong looked at the pretty widow in front of him. Although Mrs. Hu had taken the initiative to look for him many times, this was the first time that she came directly to his house. After all, Nong Yu was here.
Although Nongyu didn't know that Mrs. Hu was her mother, Mrs. Hu knew that Nongyu was her daughter.
After Liu Yi's death, Mrs. Hu also had the urge to recognize Nanyue, but considering that she couldn't even protect herself, her urge wavered. As for later...
Later, she discovered that the relationship between Yang Chong and Nongyu seemed unusual, and the urge to recognize him disappeared immediately.
What would happen if she recognized Nanyue?
Although she had a special relationship with her younger sister and Yang Chong, sisters were just sisters. In this era, it was not uncommon for two sisters to marry the same person. In royal marriages, in addition to the main wife, several sisters of the same clan would be given as dowry to help the main wife consolidate her position in the new family and new country in the future. This was true for the royal family and the wealthy families below.
But it is common for sisters to serve the same person, but it is a completely different matter when it comes to mother and daughter.
Mrs. Hu knew very well that even if she was willing to accept it, Nanyue would never accept it.
Her life was like this. At her age, she could find a man she loved and who could protect her. What else could she expect? Could she also expect a good status?
Therefore, Mrs. Hu chose not to recognize Nong Yu. She felt at ease with Nong Yu staying with Yang Chong. After all, she had seen Yang Chong's strength with her own eyes and had experienced it herself. From a woman's perspective on men, Yang Chong was perfect.
Mrs. Hu can rest assured that Nongyu will follow Yang Chong in the future. As for herself? A woman of her age, and a widow, does she still plan to get married? She just wants to live her life quietly, occasionally have a tryst with Yang Chong, and at the same time know about Nongyu's recent situation. She will be satisfied with such a life. As for more, she will no longer expect it.
With this mentality, Mrs. Hu treated Yang Chong as her lover, but what happened today forced her to come find her lover.
However, when she came in front of Yang Chong, she couldn't help but feel worried, worried that Yang Chong would be dissatisfied with her because of this. After all, their relationship was not open to public.
"If it's inconvenient for you to come forward, then forget it. Those people are only after money and dare not do anything to me." Yang Chong's ambiguous attitude made Mrs. Hu even more uneasy. Although she was not young anymore, she was not as brave as Nong Yu.
"I dare not do anything. How can one adopt an adult man? I knew it was Sima Zhao at first sight..." Yang Chong stopped speaking halfway. Oops, he almost forgot that even Sima Zhao's great-grandfather was not born in this era.
"Who is Sima Zhao?" Mrs. Hu asked blankly.
"He's just an unrelated person, a grown man adopted into your house. Facing a beauty like your madam, since he's after her money, how could he not be after her sex?" Yang Chong said, with a murderous look in his expression.
How could Yang Chong not know the man’s dirty thoughts?
"That shouldn't be the case, right? After all, I am her elder." Mrs. Hu's face turned pale.
"Of course he will. How can I not know what a man is thinking?" Yang Chong had already determined that Liu Kuan would definitely have covetous thoughts about Madam Hu, although he had never met Liu Kuan until now and had no idea what kind of person he was.
"How do you know?" Mrs. Hu was indeed very stupid. No wonder she had been deceived for so many years. "Because I am such a man." Yang Chong argued confidently, and the reasons he gave were justified and convincing.
"You..." Mrs. Hu blushed. If she really cared about the relationship between her and Yang Chong, it would be better than nothing. But it would become even more difficult in the future.
"You don't have to worry about this matter. You can stay here for now and go back at dusk." Yang Chong said. He is a great general now, and it is easy for him to capture a few local rich men.
As for the reason for arresting those people?
Isn't one of the purposes of Yang Chong's striving for power so hard to allow himself to do anything without having to find a reason? The other side of freedom can also be lawlessness.
"Okay." Facing Yang Chong's dominance, Mrs. Hu just nodded. With her soft personality, it was difficult for her to say tough words.
Under the gaze of Mrs. Hu, Yang Chong simply took two bamboo slips, wrote two sentences on them, and called a maid to send the slips out. As for where they were finally sent, she didn't know, but she knew that these two bamboo slips would definitely solve her troubles.
Is this the real him? Madam Hu looked at Yang Chong. From that body that she was so familiar with, she felt the power, just like the power at that time, which made her mind shake and unconsciously fly away.
She is a sensitive woman.
The Liu family members who were dreaming in the Liu Mansion had no idea that they were in great danger. When a team of armored soldiers suddenly broke into the Liu Mansion, they were still questioning the other party arrogantly. However, when the armored soldiers' swords were placed on their necks and chains and shackles were revealed, they realized that something seemed to be wrong.
They came to Xinzheng to make a fortune, but they never thought that they were actually seeking death.
"We are members of Sima Liu's clan. Why did you arrest us?" The old woman managed to keep herself calm and questioned in the face of swords and gods.
"We don't know Sima Liu. We only know that there are remnants of Zheng State here. Take them away." The leader of the team didn't waste any words with them. The fate of the people ordered to be captured by the General's Mansion was already determined. There was no need for him to waste time talking to a dead person.
"I am the nephew of Sima Liu and will soon be adopted by Sima Liu. You can't catch me, you can't catch me." Facing the murderous soldiers, Liu Kuan was already frightened to the extreme, but thinking of the possible outcome, he burst into a final madness out of fear.
"Oh, so you are Sima Liu's nephew, and you are going to be adopted by Sima Liu. It seems that you are very filial!" The leader looked at Liu Kuan amusemently, and he seemed to understand something in a flash.
"Yes, yes, yes, my uncle and I have the best relationship. He loved me the most when he was alive and has long treated me as his own son." Hearing this, Liu Kuan hurriedly said as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"That's easy. When Sima Liu was alive, we had some friendship." The leader smiled.
His official position was not high in Xinzheng, where powerful people were everywhere, but the position he had reached now was almost the limit that ordinary people could achieve, so he was wise and knowledgeable.
The intentions of these people in front of him, as well as the orders from the general, combined with the two, have allowed him to deduce the general situation: After Liu Yi's death, there was only one woman left in the Liu family, and these Liu clan members saw the hope of exterminating the family. However, they did not expect that the woman in the Liu family actually had a friendship with the general, which was a complete failure.
As for why the hostess of this mansion had a friendship with the general, as a man, it was easy for him to guess.
Although he had never seen the hostess of this mansion, he knew that the hostess of this mansion had a younger sister, who was also the king's favorite concubine. Could a woman who was favored by the king be an ordinary woman?
And as a sister, how could the hostess of this mansion not look bad?
A beautiful widowed woman can easily attract a man's heart.
Liu Kuan was even more delighted when he heard that the other party had a relationship with his dead uncle. This was a connection! He could inherit it in the future.
But the other party's next words directly pulled him from heaven into hell again.
"Since Sima Liu loved you the most when he was alive, and you are filial, why do you have to think about adoption and go through so much trouble? Can't you just go down and accompany Sima Liu?" The smile on the team leader's face turned grim as he spoke. He had figured out the key and he already regarded these people as dead.
"Is it that bitch? It must be that bitch!" The old woman was certain at this time that things were completely beyond her expectations. Not only would her plan fail, but she would even cost their lives.
Although she is already quite old and has lived a long time compared to people of this era, people are greedy for life and will only complain if their life is short. Who would complain if their life is long?
She was afraid of death, and when it approached, she was frantic: "How dare she, how dare she?"
How dare I? How dare I? At the same time, Mrs. Hu also had such doubts.
In the study, Madam Hu quietly adjusted her belt and put away the scenery inside, while next to her was Nong Yu who just ignored her.
When Yang Chong solved her problem with ease, she was moved, so she wanted to repay Yang Chong, and reluctantly agreed to some excessive things from Yang Chong, such as the table in front of her.
They had done even more excessive things before, and if they just used the table as a tool, it wouldn't really be a big deal, and it would actually be quite interesting.
But she never expected that when she was lying on the table in a trance, Nanyue suddenly appeared. Nanyue suddenly pushed open the door and walked in. Then, she met her daughter in a manner that she could not even describe.
It's the same thing, but it's romance between men and women, but in front of Nanyue, it's a nightmare!
