Chapter 634 Lu Su’s anger, Xiao He’s calmness!

When Lu Su entered the office, almost everyone greeted her along the way, "Greetings, Madam, Greetings, Madam!" The greetings kept coming. Lu Su just nodded slightly with a blank expression, and she hurriedly walked towards Xiao He's office, obviously very anxious.

Lu Su arrived at Xiao He's office door without any obstacles. No one dared to stop her. After all, Lu Su was the mistress, and her position in the Prime Minister's Mansion had always been very stable. In addition, she had just given birth to a son for Gao Yao, who was now in his prime and full of energy, like a dragon and a tiger.

The court knew Gao Yao's character very well. Gao Yao valued personal ability far more than his family background. In other words, as long as there were no natural disasters or man-made disasters, Gao Yao would have no problem living another 20 years. So, who would inherit Gao Yao's position at that time was still unknown.

Because of this, naturally no one dared to neglect Lu Su. Even the guards at the door did not dare to stop her, after all, no one wanted to offend the person who might become the prime minister's wife in the future.

Lu Su knew nothing about these rules. She came to Xiao He's door, and without even the slightest hesitation, she stretched out her hand and pushed the door open, then walked into the room.

"How dare you!" As the door was pushed open, an angry shout came from the room. Xiao He scolded without even raising his head. Rules are rules, and Xiao He could not accept such transgression, especially during work.

For Xiao He, this was his busiest time, with a lot of things to do and his time was very precious. However, this uninvited guest barged in so rudely without even asking for permission, which made him very angry.

When Xiao He's eyes fell on the person standing at the door, his expression changed instantly. His original anger was replaced by astonishment, and he widened his eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he saw.

The person standing at the door was actually Lu Su!

Xiao He was in a panic. He quickly stood up and walked towards Lu Su, saying, "Please forgive me, Madam. I didn't see you here just now. I was offended by your words. I hope you will forgive me!"

His tone was full of humility and awe, in stark contrast to his earlier scolding of the intruder.

After all, Gao Yao is Gao Yao and Lu Su is Lu Su. Although Xiao He and Gao Yao have a close relationship as monarch and subject and can joke with each other occasionally, Lu Su is Gao Yao's wife and has a respected status, so Xiao He naturally dare not neglect her in the slightest.

In this case, the distinction between superiors and subordinates must be clear and there must not be any ambiguity.

"It's okay, it's okay. Lord Xiao He worked so hard, it was unintentional, don't take it to heart. I came to see Lord Xiao He because of an urgent matter, just now..." Lu Su was interrupted by Xiao He before she finished her words.

Xiao He smiled and said softly, "Madam, there is no need to be so hasty. Just tell me slowly what's the matter." His tone was very gentle, making people feel inexplicably at ease.

Seeing this, Lu Su no longer hesitated and told Xiao He everything that Lu Zhi had told her. She spoke quickly, as if she was afraid of missing out on any important information.

Xiao He listened quietly, nodding from time to time to show his understanding. When he finished listening to Lu Su's narration, his originally relaxed brows suddenly furrowed tightly, as if he had encountered some thorny problem.

"Lord Xiao He, I am very anxious. Please ask Lord Xiao He to persuade your husband as soon as possible!" Seeing that Xiao He did not respond immediately, Lu Su became more and more anxious and could not help but raise her voice.

Xiao He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Madam, you must not rush into this matter. Please sit down first. I'm afraid this matter still needs long-term consideration." After saying that, he actually moved a chair and motioned for Lu Su to sit down first.

Seeing this, Lu Su's dissatisfaction became stronger. She widened her eyes, looked at Xiao He in disbelief, and asked, "Master Xiao He, this is what my sister asked me to do. How can you delay like this?"

Xiao He was not angry because of Lu Su's questioning. He remained calm and explained patiently: "Madam, I understand your feelings, but this matter is of great importance. The slightest carelessness may lead to serious consequences. Therefore, we must consider it carefully and not act rashly."

"Is Lord Xiao He afraid of angering my husband? Lü Su has always believed that Xiao He is my husband's most favored minister and a close friend. Now it seems that Lord Xiao He is also timid. It's really shocking!"

Listening to Lu Su's words, Xiao He also showed a bitter smile. He heard Lu Su's ridicule, but it was difficult for him to refute it directly. After all, she was the mistress. Xiao He had no way to deal with this. Now this was not a question of being timid or not, but the problem was there and he couldn't just ignore it. The matter was not as simple as Lu Zhi's. Lu Su's consideration was not as simple as Lu Zhi's.

"Madam, please don't be anxious. Let Xiao He tell you slowly." Xiao He smiled and said slowly, "Madam, you just said that the Prime Minister is smart. Naturally, you don't want anyone to be smarter than him. Things in this world are often not that simple. Sometimes, being too smart can become a burden."

He paused, observing Lu Su's reaction. Seeing that she seemed to be thinking about something, he continued, "Everyone knows that the eldest lady is extremely intelligent. But because of this, her intelligence may cause her to get into some unnecessary trouble. The prime minister, although he is also smart, knows better when to show his intelligence and when to hide his edge."

Listening to Xiao He's words, Lu Su became more and more confused, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Master Xiao He, I really don't understand what you are saying. What exactly do you want to say?"

Seeing this, Xiao He quickly explained, "Madam, what I mean is that the first lady's cleverness may arouse the jealousy and suspicion of others, thus bringing her some troubles. On the other hand, the Prime Minister knows how to keep a low profile in front of everyone and avoid unnecessary disputes. So, from this perspective, the Prime Minister's cleverness is truly great wisdom in the form of foolishness."

After listening to this, Lu Su was silent for a moment, as if thinking about Xiao He's words. After a while, she slowly said, "Master Xiao He, although your words make some sense, I still don't understand how this is related to the question you asked me before?"

"Haha, Madam, please don't blame me. What Xiao He meant is that since Madam is very clear about this matter, you should understand that this Chamber of Commerce was supported by the Prime Minister. Whether it is right or wrong, this is the Prime Minister's choice. In fact, the importance of the Chamber of Commerce in the Southern Territory is self-evident, and the development of the Chamber of Commerce is almost completely independent of the development of the entire Southern Territory. It is the development of the Southern Territory that relies on the Chamber of Commerce, not the other way around. Do you understand what Xiao He said?"
