"I've said before, if you want to be by my side, you should know your place. What to ask, and what not to ask. I thought you understood that very clearly?" Liu Xiu's words were his sternest warning to Chen Li yet. If Chen Li continued to lack discretion, even if he had intentions of using her to counterbalance the Su Family, he wouldn't keep her around. Besides, Liu Xiu might be more aware of Chen Li's feelings for Han Yu than she realized. A woman like that, once she saw some benefit, could easily turn traitor.
Chen Li didn't expect that her probing would not only fail but also result in such a harsh warning from Liu Xiu. Did this mean that if she didn't show discretion, he wouldn't want to keep her around?
