Chapter 450 - Chapter 450: Chapter 457: The Great Battle is Imminent (2/2)

“Big Brother, even though Han Yu and Our family don’t get along well and there are conflicts of interest, now is not the time to quarrel with him. After all, you are working under my Husband, and you’re on the same side. Especially with the imperial court army bearing down on us, you’re all in the same boat and should be uniting against the common enemy, the imperial court army. If my Husband were defeated by the imperial court troops, none of you would end well.”

The Yin Family had nurtured Yin Lihua from a young age, and she had often been involved in such matters. When she heard her elder brother getting stuck on his bias against Han Yu, she quickly tried to awaken him to reason with her words.

It was because of a series of recent setbacks that Yin Shi had become fixated. Reminded by his younger sister’s words, he suddenly came to a realization and reflected on himself, “Sister, you are right. I’ve been too rash and myopic, failing even to see this fundamental point. If I were to confront Han Yu at this moment, causing internal strife, it would only benefit the enemy. Don’t worry, I know what to do now.”

Seeing her elder brother reassured, Yin Lihua felt at ease. She knew her brother was competent and talented. As long as he didn’t get obsessed with minor details, he could handle matters well. The heir that the Yin Family had trained would not be useless.

Having seen the light, Yin Shi no longer dwelled on his struggle with Han Yu and hurriedly returned to the military camp to discuss countermeasures with Liu Xiu and see where he could contribute.

Although Liu Xiu didn’t have a high opinion of his brother-in-law’s style, he still trusted Yin Shi. After all, ever since Yin Lihua married him, his interests had become aligned with those of the Yin Family, who would not act against their own interests. He shared the plan and countermeasures he had formulated with Han Yu with Yin Shi. He was short on manpower, and Yin Shi was capable enough to help him shoulder some of the responsibilities.

It was then that Yin Shi truly recognized Han Yu’s formidable talents and abilities. Compared to all this, Han Yu’s prior displays were negligible. Although now more vigilant and grudgingly admiring, these slight changes could not alter anything significant. When it came to interests and prospects, he and Han Yu were destined to stand on opposite sides and could not coexist peacefully.

Seeing Yin Shi momentarily lost in thought, Liu Xiu, aware of the grudge between Yin Shi and Han Yu, warned him lest he stray, “Uncle Wen, with such a formidable enemy before us, put aside the minor grievances between you and Xiu Qi for now. Be careful not to let them cause any detriment to the greater cause.”

“Rest assured, Uncle Wen, I am not someone who lacks perspective. Besides, while Han Yu and I may not get along well on a daily basis, we don’t have any deep enmity that would lead to jeopardizing greater concerns. It will not happen.” Yin Shi quickly made his position clear.

Even before, Yin Shi wouldn’t have revealed his true thoughts in front of Liu Xiu, maintaining a seemingly cordial demeanor, especially after being enlightened by his sister.

Just at that moment, Han Yu walked in, and seeing Yin Shi there, his expression remained unchanged.
