Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Chapter 407: There is no guarantee of success

When General Liu and his concubine were having so much fun that they lost track of the world, he had no idea that he had greatly disappointed his partner, who had already started to be on guard against him.

The concubine acted coquettishly and coaxed him to make new jewelry and new clothes for her, and he agreed to all of them.

He was very comfortable with the concubine's service. It was just some jewelry and clothes, which he had plenty of. He just gave her some as a reward for the concubine's service to him.

In his eyes, he always thought of the girl from the Zhou family's delicate face when she frowned. She looked like a bud about to bloom, delicate and charming, which made General Liu unable to stop.

Love but cannot get it, love but cannot get it, General Liu sighed in his heart.

With a satisfied smile on his face, he walked slowly out of the concubine's yard. Seeing this, the servant hurried forward to report that the lady wanted to see him.

General Liu paused and asked, "Madam, is there something wrong? It seems that the servant has been waiting for him here for quite some time."

It must be the Madam who told him not to disturb her good times. The Madam is so virtuous.

General Liu was in high spirits. His wife was virtuous and generous, and she helped him keep his house in order. His concubine was charming and seductive, and she served him comfortably in bed.

He also has three smart and promising sons, and his eldest grandson is plump and cute. General Liu feels that his life is perfect.

Thinking of this, General Liu walked quickly towards his wife's yard.

In the main room, Mrs. Liu slowly told General Liu about the Zhou family's affairs, and General Liu was stunned.

What's going on? Was the Zhou family's daughter imprisoned in the county jail? Was she imprisoned by Zhao Mingyuan? Zhou Cheng went to plead for mercy with something, but Zhao Mingyuan kicked her out?

Good heavens, it turns out that the plan of Zhao Mingyuan to capture the bandits that he and his wife had mentioned was ruined by the daughter of the Zhou family.

I really can't believe that Zhao Mingyuan was actually cheated by a woman. Zhou Yuwei looks so frail and delicate, but I didn't expect her to be so bold.

His first reaction was the same as Mrs. Liu's. Zhou Yuwei definitely did not do it unintentionally. It was definitely planned.

It's not that they were collaborating with bandits, but it was estimated that they were targeting Zhao Mingyuan. After all, Zhao Mingyuan was already a fourth-rank Yunhui general at a young age, and he was also the commander of a region.

No one would dislike such a young and capable young general. Although General Liu was very dissatisfied with the Zhao family, he also admired Zhao Mingyuan very much. If he had a daughter, she would be dissatisfied with the Zhao family and want Zhao Mingyuan to be her son-in-law.

After listening to Mrs. Liu's story about the Zhou family, General Liu was speechless.

This Zhou Cheng must have said something that offended Zhao Mingyuan, otherwise why would Zhao Mingyuan kick him out.

After all, Zhou Cheng is also a sixth-rank lieutenant general.

In addition, he had been in the same service with Zhao Wu for many years, so he had some understanding of the temperaments of the father and son. Although Zhao Mingyuan had a high position, he still respected the younger generals who were older than him.

It was impossible for him to offend the Zhao family for the Zhou family. A sixth-rank lieutenant general was not worth it for him to take action and cause dissatisfaction in the Zhao family.

At most, he would ask about it. After all, he was once the commander of Liuguan Town. As long as he asked about the situation and said a few words, if it was possible, he would save Zhou Cheng, the chess piece, and he would definitely be more loyal to him in the future.

If it doesn't work, no loss.

The only thing he could say was that the lady said Zhou Cheng's family had sent a lot of gifts and she accepted them all.

Some of the good things were given to his eldest grandson, and the rest were put into the warehouse.

There is nothing particularly rare or good here. Zhou Cheng is really ignorant. It's already this time, but he is still so stingy when asking others for help.

General Liu had some dissatisfaction on his face. He knew that Zhou Cheng had participated in many bandit suppression activities over the years, and young generals like Zhou Cheng had also gained a lot of spoils from the battlefield.

At this time, you still dare to use these things to get rid of yourself, huh!

Mrs. Liu saw that her husband looked unhappy, but she was not worried. She just said leisurely: "My husband, the Zhou family brought a lot. I left some of the good ones to our grandson, and gave a lot of jewelry to the old lady."

Seeing that her husband looked better, she continued, "It's not much, but it's a lot of good stuff. Besides, the Zhou family has always been respectful to me, and so has Zhou Cheng. Why don't you help pass on a message?"

"Regardless of whether it will work or not, if we can help to ask a few questions, it will be considered as a way to repay these things, and it will also be considered as a return of his sincerity to you for so many years."

Mrs. Liu meant that since the things had already been taken, it was impossible to spit them out, and they had also given them to their eldest grandson, so it was even more impossible to take them back.

But all they can do is say a few words, and their family can't guarantee whether it will succeed or not.

General Liu was also a smart man and he understood what the lady meant as soon as he heard it.

He stroked his beard, his face showing the same calculating expression as Mrs. Liu, and nodded in agreement.

Mrs. Liu was also satisfied. She was very happy because she had made a lot of money today.
