Chapter 538

"Brother, what kind of strategy is it?"

Born into the Cai family, one of the three great Jingzhou aristocratic families, Lady Cai was naturally no pushover.

She keenly realized that what Cai Mao was plotting in his heart was probably to abandon Liu Biao and Kuai Yue and take the Cai family to fly solo.

Sure enough,

the next moment, Cai Mao mysteriously said to Cai Zhu:

"Zhu'er, Gu Yi loves beauties; the whole world knows this."

"But as far as I know, besides beauties, Gu Yi perhaps has another hobby."

Immediately, he brought out specific examples and analyzed them for Cai Zhu in a serious manner:

"Zhu'er, when that Gu Yi pacified Liu Zhang before, he took Wu Yi's younger sister, who was the widow of Liu Zhang's third brother, Liu Mao, as a concubine."

"It is said that Wu Yi's younger sister is quite favored by Gu Yi."

"But fundamentally, according to your brother's research, besides the beauty of Wu Yi's younger sister, her status as a widow probably added quite a few points."

"With your beauty, Zhu'er, looking across the nine commanderies of Jingxiang, who can compare with you?"

"Therefore, your brother intends to find a way to make you Gu Yi's concubine."

"Afterward, you will quickly give him a son."

"In this way, my Cai family can not only guarantee our original status but even advance further on this basis!"

"Wouldn't this be countless times better than you following that old man Liu Jingsheng?"

It must be said that Cai Mao still had quite a bit of cunning.

Although Liu Biao was nominally his master,

in Cai Mao's heart, Liu Biao was just a spokesperson chosen by the Jingzhou aristocratic families.

Whatever major events happened in Jingzhou, Liu Biao's words did not count.

They must obtain the unanimous approval of the three great aristocratic families before the transfer orders could be issued smoothly.

In other words,

the power in Liu Biao's hands was far less than the sum of the three great aristocratic families.

Of course, Liu Biao was not a complete puppet.

He roughly held one-fourth of the power in Jingzhou.

The remaining three-fourths were in the hands of the three great aristocratic families.

And nowadays,

because the important town of Jiangxia in central Jingzhou had long been captured by Gan Ning, Su Fei, Tai Shi Ci, and other naval generals under Gu Yi,

the Huang family of Huang Zu naturally suffered a devastating disaster.

The decision-making power of Jingzhou fell into the hands of Cai Mao, Kuai Yue, and Liu Biao.

These three were originally birds of a feather.

But clearly, Gu Yi could not accept their unanimous surrender.

When interests were consistent,

Liu Biao, Kuai Yue, and Cai Mao could be comrades who shared adversity.

But when interests diverged,

the principle of "every man for himself when disaster strikes" was vividly displayed by them.

In the past, when encountering things, Cai Mao always wanted to find Kuai Yue to discuss together.

After discussing, he would find Liu Biao to make a decision.

But this time, Cai Mao only wanted to fly solo.

He had a good sister, Cai Zhu, but Kuai Yue did not.

There was only one cake, so naturally, it could not be shared with others.

……

After listening to what Cai Mao said, a flash of desire crossed Cai Zhu's face.

She was truly... too, too, too eager for a man!

Liu Biao, an old man over fifty, made her feel no nourishment.

Compared to Cai Mao's consideration for the family, Cai Zhu only hoped that her own happiness could be guaranteed.

As an older brother, how could Cai Mao not guess what his sister was thinking?

He added with a smile:

"Zhu'er can rest assured."

"That Gu Linzhi is not yet thirty, in the prime of his life."

"Not to mention other abilities, just his appearance is far from what that old man Liu Biao can compare with."

"Furthermore, the beautiful concubines Gu Linzhi has taken are said to be not thirty, but already over twenty."

"Sister can rest assured and marry him."

"When the time comes, you only need to give him another son, and all glory, wealth, and sexual happiness can be guaranteed."

Cai Mao knew his sister's personality very well.

Other aristocratic family women, at the age of ten or twenty, might be waiting in the boudoir.

But Cai Zhu was a natural "female power strategist," also known as a "harem expert."

Therefore, Cai Mao believed that after Cai Zhu married Gu Yi, she would definitely soon make Gu Yi prostrate under her pomegranate skirt.

Finally, Cai Zhu agreed to her brother Cai Mao's proposal.

But she, who was vicious by nature, felt that it was not good to let Liu Biao off so cheaply.

After all, in Cai Zhu's cognition, Liu Biao had delayed her seven or eight years of youth and time.

One does not do it, but if one does, one does it thoroughly.

Cai Zhu decided to secretly harm Liu Biao to death.

In this way, wouldn't the whole Xiangyang City be up to her and her brother Cai Mao?

No sooner said than done.

After returning to the Governor's Mansion, Cai Zhu fawned over Liu Biao.

She personally brewed a bowl of chicken soup (Kun soup) for Liu Biao to drink.

Although... intuition told Liu Biao that if something was abnormal, there must be a demon. ===== CHAPTER 539 =====
