"What do you mean by saying all this? You just think that little bastard is powerful now, so you want to recognize him back?"

"I haven't finished yet. Shen Han is a top three scorer. The emperor will naturally use him. So many people are trying to curry favor with him. And Guan Tanhua is also his woman. She is engaged to Qin Yu. I heard that she is doing very well in business and is also a smart person. She was the one who proposed the terraced field method to the emperor. These people are not easy to deal with. We can't force them."

After Gu Cheng finished speaking, seeing that Huo Nanlian was not so angry anymore, he pulled her to sit at the table and said, "Nanlian, I also heard that the third son of the Shen family is a martial arts master. This martial arts master doesn't care who he wants to kill. What do you think we can do now? This tiger has grown up. We can't force it. We can only think of other ways."

"Master, do you mean to use soft tactics?" Huo Nanlian had calmed down. After hearing what Gu Cheng said, she realized that Qin Yu and Shen Li were really difficult to deal with.

"If Qin Yu can recognize me, then we will be a family. All these advantages can be used by me."

"Don't even mention whether he can recognize you. Even if he does, it doesn't necessarily guarantee that others can be used by the master."

"As long as Qin Yu is here, as long as he marries the girl from the Shen family, I am confident that these people can be used by me." Gu Cheng said confidently.

Huo Nanlian glanced at him and said nothing. The hatred between her and Qin Yu was impossible to resolve. There was a life between them, and Qin Yu had been looking for opportunities to deal with her. If she did as Gu Cheng said, she would be at the mercy of others.

After so many years, Gu Cheng is still the same, selfishly always thinking about himself, and will side with whoever is beneficial to him. At that time, Qin Yueying was rich and could support him to study for the imperial examinations, and he even accepted her as a son-in-law.

After meeting her, he threw away the useless things. Now that he thinks Qin Yu and the others are useful again, he wants to pick them up again. It's really ridiculous.

She wouldn't listen to him, otherwise she wouldn't even know how she died.

It seems that she needs to think of a solution. She has done a lot of things that cannot be seen in public. If that little bastard finds the opportunity to dig them up one day, it will be the end of her.

But Gu Cheng was right about one thing. He was indeed not easy to deal with now. Even the woman from the Shen family could not be touched easily.

We must think of a foolproof solution.

As for Gu Chengan, he had been in a daze since he came back. He felt very uncomfortable at the moment, as if he had lost something important.

In fact, he also understood that the source of his discomfort was Shen Li. She was actually engaged? What was so good about Qin Yu? He was like a sickly person, full of schemes and intrigues. Except for his good-looking face, he was inferior to him in every way.

Not as good as him?

Does he really care about her?

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Chengan came back to his senses: "Mom, why are you here?"

"Come and see you, what were you thinking about just now?" Huo Nanlian said.

"Nothing, nothing to think about."

"Cheng'an, do you have any feelings for Shen Li?" Huo Nanlian asked this because when she was at Shen's house, she saw concern in his eyes.

"That's not happening, Mom. You... stop guessing." Gu Cheng'an denied.

How could Huo Nanlian not understand her own son? It was obvious that she was saying one thing and thinking another: "Cheng'an, I care about you. If you have anything, you can tell me. I will help you."

"Mom, I...I don't know. Maybe I care, but it's useless now. She is already engaged to Qin Yu."

"What's wrong with being engaged? You are my son. If you want a girl, you must get married, not to mention being engaged. Be strong. Your uncle is a general, your father is the prime minister, and although your mother is not in the court, few people dare to go against my will. And you are now a small leader in the imperial guards, but sooner or later you will become the leader of the imperial guards. So, son, don't be afraid, tell me, do you want her?"

"Mom, I...I already have Yanyan." Gu Cheng'an said in embarrassment.

"Her? If you like her, you can keep her by your side, but she can't be your principal wife. You can only be a concubine. You should know her background. How can she be worthy of our family? With such a background, if you really marry her as your principal wife, many people will laugh at you, so don't even think about it."

"Mom, then Shen Li can do it?"

Huo Nanlian thought of what Gu Cheng had just said and chuckled, "Of course she can. Not to mention the people around her, she herself has a big business. If you can really marry her, at least you won't have to worry about money in the future."

Gu Chengan still hesitated: "But mother, Shen Li will not like me. You can see that her mind is only on Qin Yu. I am afraid there is no hope for me."

Huo Nanlian patted his head, the force was not strong, but it was not weak either: "I taught you this since you were a child. How can a real man hesitate? If you like someone, go after him. If not, give up. That's not what I taught you."

"Mom, it hurts." Gu Cheng'an rubbed the place where he was hit: "I went after her directly, but she wouldn't pay any attention to me."

"Leave it to me, and wait for my good news." Why did Huo Nanlian encourage him to pursue Shen Li?

It's not because she is good, but because of the advantages that Gu Cheng mentioned. If Gu Cheng'an can successfully marry Shen Li, then these advantages will become hers. Since she can't get rid of him, she can use them for her own benefit.

Anyway, she is just a little girl and is not her real enemy. If she can turn this into her advantage, Qin Yu will have a lot less help, which is a good thing for her.

It would also make that little bastard Qin Yu suffer from losing the person he loved, so it could be said that it was killing two birds with one stone.

All of Gu Chengan's worries were slapped away by Huo Nanlian: "Mom, thank you."

Huo Nanlian smiled and said, "You are my son, who else should I help if not you? By the way, son, are Shen Yanyan and Shen Li relatives?"

"Yes, Shen Li is her cousin."

"Oh, okay. I'll leave first then."

After Huo Nanlian left, Shen Yanyan came out from the other side of the house.

Originally, she came to find Gu Chengan, but when she heard them mention her in the room, she stood outside and listened for a while. She didn't expect Gu Chengan to admit it just like that.

He really cares about Shen Li.

Huo Nanlian clearly wanted to deal with Shen Li before, but now she wants to help Gu Chengan pursue Shen Li. There must be a reason behind this. Does she really think that she has a good background?

Are they planning to write her off?

No, she had finally found such a backer and she must not lose him. Even if he didn't like her, she had to stay by his side, otherwise where could she find someone with a better family background than him.
