"Yes, of course I will." Shi Chunfen comforted patiently, "Just like you chose not to go back today, you actually know how to please him, don't you?"
Yu Atu lowered his head and said nothing.
The two talked like this all night long, until they both fell asleep at dawn. At noon, they were woken up by Li Yan and Lu Tao, and Huang Yifu sent someone over to ask Shi Chunquin to go to the prefect.
The government took Chu Shun's family back. Although she didn't know what happened, she soon had an ominous premonition in her heart.
Because the matter involved the second wife, Shi Chunfen was afraid that her mood would lose control after Chu Run left, so she chose to attend the meeting alone.
When she got there, she saw Chu Shun's family sitting peacefully, but Huang Yifu looked at her with an unkind expression, and her heart sank instantly.
"See you, general." Shi Chunquin stepped forward steadily and saluted Huang Yifu unhurriedly.
Seeing that she could still act nonchalantly when seeing this situation, Huang Yifu raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Ms. Chu, do you know why I called you here today?"
Shi Chunfen paused and quickly said: "The civilian woman doesn't know."
She always acted casually and asked someone to punch the cotton. Huang Yifu's face darkened and he said displeasedly: "Then I will tell you that from today on, all the business of your Chu family will belong to you."
Uncle is in charge, and you must hand over all your business to his hands within one day."
"What?!" Shi Chunfen's expression changed, and he lost his composure in front of Huang Yifu for the first time. "General Huang, is there any misunderstanding between us? How could you make such a decision?"
"There is no misunderstanding!" Huang Yifu waved his hand and said coldly: "It has nothing to do with me how the Chu family fights. I don't even want to know who is a good person or a bad person among you. I only know who is useful to me and who is.
You are worthy of cooperating with this general. Obviously your second uncle is more suitable than a woman like you."
"Yes!" Chu Shun sneered: "Spring Equinox, it's really hard for you to support such a big family as a woman. You'd better let your second uncle help you share the burden."
Shi Chunfen glanced at him coldly, and the other person immediately fell silent, but he still couldn't hide his pride on his face.
Shi Chunfen ignored him, but turned to look at Huang Yifu and asked, "I wonder what my second uncle promised the general to make you make this decision?"
Seeing her guessing the reason immediately, Huang Yifu raised his eyebrows and said bluntly: "No matter what you promised, you can't do it. If I were you, I would hand over my rights honestly to avoid the pain of flesh and blood."
In just one night, Huang Yifu's attitude changed drastically. When he was killed, Chunfen was caught off guard. Her fingers curled up slightly and she was speechless for a while. Without knowing the opponent's bargaining chip, she had no way to bargain with Huang Yifu, but
If she just agreed, she would be very unwilling to leave the huge Chu family in the hands of the second wife.
"Since it is General Huang's order, I have no choice but to obey it." Shi Chunfen pondered for a long time and then quickly lowered his head, "But for the sake of fairness, I would like to ask General Huang to give me, this little woman, a way to survive."
"Oh?" Huang Yifu looked at her with interest, "What's the way to survive?"
Shi Chunfen paced around for a few steps and said bluntly: "The entire Chu family knows that our eldest house and the second house have always been at odds. General Huang asked me to hand over all my business to the second house, which undoubtedly cut off our eldest house's retreat.
, if you are compassionate and cannot bear to see me, a little woman, forced into a desperate situation, please allow us to leave three shops in the big house to support our daily life. As for the military salary that will support the general in the future, we will not receive any.
It will be less."
She deliberately lowered her attitude and spoke of Dafang in a very pitiful manner, which made Huang Yifu hesitate.
Seeing this situation, Chu Shun couldn't help but jumped out, "General Huang, don't listen to her nonsense. The eldest brother's family is my eldest brother's family. Even if I don't get along with them, how can I wrong their food, clothing, housing and transportation? She just wants to ask you
Just showing weakness to gain sympathy."
"Yes!" Xue Jinxiu and Chu Quan also stood up, "This woman has always been cunning. Her best thing is to pretend to be pitiful and gain sympathy. General, don't let her fool you!"
"Really?" Huang Yifu glanced at them and said amusedly: "Originally, I was a little doubtful whether what she said was true or false, but when I saw you jumping out impatiently, I was convinced that she was not lying. The huge Chu family has
It's almost in your hands, and you're still clinging to three shops. Only a fool would believe it if you said you would let her live!" At this point, he paused and looked at her conspiratorially.
Chu Shun and others said, "You don't think this general is a fool, do you?"
Chu Shun and others trembled for a moment, then quickly said with a smile: "How...how could it be possible?"
"It's okay if you don't." Huang Yifu said, "It's just three shops. It's appropriate to leave them orphans and widows. Anyway, Chu Ling will be killed by me sooner or later on the battlefield. When the time comes, Mrs. Chu will become a widow, so she has to
You need something to rely on." As he said this, he couldn't help laughing, and Shi Chunquin clenched his fists when he heard it.
By the time he finished laughing, Chun Equinox's fist had already been loosened, and he stood in front of him and said with a smile, "So, General Huang agreed to my keeping three shops?"
Seeing that her expression had not changed, Huang Yifu nodded with satisfaction, "Well, this general has never been a heartless person, but unlike that Chu Ling... I didn't even leave a way out for you."
Shi Chunfen pretended not to hear the sarcasm in his words, and turned to look at Chu Shun and others, "In this case, I want to keep Jiuku Tea House, Lanyue Tower and Huichun Hall."
"No!" Chu Shun became anxious, "Jiuku Tea House and Huichun Hall can give it to you, but Lanyue Building is not an ordinary shop. Its annual profit is equal to the sum of four or five shops. How can I give it to you so easily?!
"
"Why not?" Shi Chunfen said funnyly: "General Huang allowed me to keep three shops, but he didn't stipulate which three shops they must be. The Lanyue Building was built by Chu Ling himself. If I become a widow in the future, it's okay.
I have a thought, is it possible that my second uncle is not willing to help me with this?"
"You?!" Chu Shun glared at her, but didn't know how to retort.
But after Huang Yifu heard what she said, he couldn't help but said: "Don't you already hate your husband? What are you still thinking about?"
Shi Chunfen turned around, put on a helpless look, and said bitterly: "When there is love, there will be hatred. General Huang doesn't really think that I have no feelings for my husband at all, right?"
Every word of her was sincere, and it was hard for Huang Yifu to believe it or not. He pondered for a long time, and quickly nodded, "Okay, Lanyue Tower will be left to you to commemorate your husband. In the future, I will cut off his head and give it to you to hang."
