Su Yu nodded in satisfaction. “This is about right.”
Yuan Bao stood not far away, watching Su Yu actually act jealous of his own children, thinking that he might have been mistaken.
He cleared his throat and left, giving the space to the couple. Of course, the main reason for leaving was the concern that if Su Yu became angry and came looking for him later, what would he do?
“Yuan Bao was scared off by you. How is the situation with the iron mine on the other side?” Wang Jinhe asked Su Yu.
Su Yu shrugged. “Nothing major has happened yet, but my people informed me that when they found out about the iron mine at the hot spring resort, Yu Baiya was really so angry that he spat blood.”
Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu in shock. “Is that true? Isn’t Yu Baiya’s ability to handle things a bit too poor?”
Su Yu laughed heartily. “After that, he even sought out Yu Manxue’s father. If he still wants to threaten Yu Baiya, it probably won’t be so easy. Yu Baiya might just take direct action then.”
“I see. But if it were me, I might have done the same thing. After all, I wouldn’t let someone threaten me twice.”
If a warning is ignored, then there’s really no choice.
“Xiao He, there’s something else I need to tell you,” Su Yu suddenly said after discussing the Yu family’s situation.
Wang Jinhe was first taken aback, then furrowed her brow. “Is it because of the Gu family?”
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe in surprise. “You guessed it?”
“Well, I had some idea. Everyone wants what I have,” Wang Jinhe naturally knew the value of what she had, and the Gu family was a declining family. This made them even more eager to get their hands on what she possessed.
But they might have some misconceptions about themselves. This is not something they can have just because they want it.
Su Yu sighed lightly and looked at Wang Jinhe’s calm demeanor. “If you’re not happy, I can help you deal with the Gu family.”
Wang Jinhe shook her head gently. “There’s no need for you to deal with the Gu family. Lu Lingfeng should be coming back soon, right?”
“He is coming back, and he has also met your cousin. I heard that he was so angry when he found out the whole story that he almost spat blood.” It was strange if Lu Lingleng wasn’t angry after his savior was harmed by a fake.
But the angrier, the better. Only then would Lu Lingfeng spare no effort to deal with Xiruo after returning to the capital. They could just sit back and watch the drama unfold between them.
Isn’t it more interesting than taking action themselves?
“I think Gu Sheng wants to come and find you. He wants you not to compete with Xiruo and also to help Xiruo get everything she wants.”
“He sure thinks a lot.” Thinking about this and that, does Gu Sheng think he’s almighty?
Does he really think everyone has to listen to him?
He’s so self-righteous.
She has a grudge against Gu Sheng. Doesn’t Gu Sheng realize this?
She gently touched her belly and said softly, “If he dares to come, I will make him regret it.”
She meant what she said.
Some things don’t necessarily have to be left to others to handle. She could handle them herself.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you. Let’s not talk about things that ruin the mood. Let’s talk about something happy,” Su Yu said, looking at Wang Jinhe with a smile.
“Okay.”
“After Vassal King Chen comes, I’ll introduce you to his children. I have a good relationship with them, and I think his daughter will definitely get along with you,” Su Yu said to Wang Jinhe.
In this world, Wang Jinhe only had Ming Wanning as a friend. Usually, it was only Ming Wanning who brought a few legitimate daughters of the Ming family to talk to her, chat, and pass the time.
He hoped that Wang Jinhe could make more friends.
“Do you have a good relationship with them?”
“Yes, very good. Her name is Chen Han, she’s seventeen this year, two or three years younger than you.”
Listening to Su Yu’s words, Wang Jinhe’s brows furrowed slightly, feeling uncomfortable.
Seeing Wang Jinhe’s displeasure, Su Yu smiled and said, “Feeling jealous?”
Wang Jinhe didn’t want to deal with Su Yu and remained unhappy.
“Okay, I won’t tease you anymore. My relationship with her is indeed good, but to me, she’s just like a younger sister from an elder’s family. Besides that, there’s nothing else. Moreover, she has a very good relationship with her fiancé, who is the adopted son of King Chen. They grew up together since childhood.” Su Yu explained carefully, not wanting Wang Jinhe to misunderstand.
Wang Jinhe snorted. Although she didn’t say anything, she seemed to accept Su Yu’s explanation.
Seeing Wang Jinhe’s proud and adorable look, Su Yu liked it very much. She was just too cute.
He lowered his head and kissed her on the face. “Were you jealous just now?”
“Who’s jealous?” Wang Jinhe looked at Su Yu coldly and spoke with disdain.
She was jealous? How come she didn’t know?
Su Yu didn’t expose Wang Jinhe and said, “Okay, you didn’t. I was mistaken. I’m the one who’s jealous.”
Wang Jinhe gave Su Yu a disdainful look. His words were as good as saying nothing.
“This time, all the Kings will return to the capital to report on their duties. King Huainan and King Chen are people you can get along with. As for King Zhenbei and King Yan, you must be careful when you meet them.”
“Now that imperial power is gradually consolidating, does His Majesty have any plans regarding the Kings?”
“His Majesty has been considering reducing the power of the Vassal Kings for a long time, but due to various circumstances, it has been put on hold. If he wants to reduce their power now, King Huainan will agree directly, and with a little effort, King Chen will also agree. It’s just that King Zhenbei and King Yan have too great ambitions, so it may not be so easy to succeed.”
Wang Jinhe nodded to show that she understood. “His Majesty is a good emperor, and having all the power in his hands will be better for Xuan Empire.”
“We think so, but not everyone does,” Su Yu said meaningfully.
“Do you have a way to deal with them?” Su Yu was so clever that it shouldn’t be a problem for him to deal with these two people, right?
“We have to wait until we meet them before taking action.”
“Then let’s wait. By the way, the people from Ling Empire and Qi Empire should be arriving in a few days, right? Are you ready to meet Qi Ming again?” Wang Jinhe asked Su Yu.
Su Yu looked at Wang Jinhe helplessly. “I’m not that fragile. Besides, I already knew about these things a long time ago. We discussed everything that needed to be said during our last meeting. It’s not a big deal.”
Wang Jinhe had just made a casual remark, but she didn’t expect Su Yu to explain so carefully.
After looking at Su Yu for a while, she finally spoke, “Actually, I was just speaking casually. Even if you didn’t explain, it wouldn’t have mattered.”
Su Yu choked and pinched Wang Jinhe’s face, expressing his dissatisfaction. “Oh, so you’re teasing me, huh?”
