Looking at her expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing, Lu Fanghai probably understood what she meant, and smiled helplessly:

"Xiuniang, what are you talking about? From the beginning, I, Lu Fanghai, have only recognized you. What concubine, what theft? What are you talking about?"

Seeing that his expression was not fake, Du Wenxiu looked into his eyes and asked seriously: "Don't you and Qin Dingxiang have..."

"Xiuniang, why do you think so?" This time it was Lu Fanghai's turn to smile bitterly. "You see, I usually don't say a word to her..."

Suddenly Lu Fanghai stopped and frowned. Du Wenxiu looked at him with tears in her eyes. He seemed to remember something: "Xiuniang, but just now..."

He stopped talking halfway, as if recalling something.

"I came back just now and saw her leaving the room in dishevel."

Du Wenxiu stared at him, gritting his teeth, and spoke word by word.

Looking at her hateful eyes, Lu Fanghai felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave, and his whole body was cold.

He tried hard to recall what had just happened, and looked down to see that his belt was half untied:

"I remember someone sent me back, threw me on the kang and left. I seemed to be in a trance and someone came in and asked if I wanted some water. Then, you came back..."

Du Wenxiu saw that his confusion was indeed somewhat genuine, and after hearing him say this, he temporarily believed it a little.

He stood up and walked to the door, calling Qin Dingxiang to come to the main room.

After hesitating for a long time, Qin Dingxiang finally came over. She looked up when she entered the room. Lu Fanghai was already sitting on the edge of the kang, staring at her coldly, with the eyes of a ferocious beast. Her heart skipped a beat and she lowered her head again.

"General, what are you doing in this room?"

Du Wenxiu stood in front of the window, raised his chin slightly, and asked coldly.

Qin Dingxiang looked up, her face full of panic, and she kept shaking her hands:

"No, no, just now Brother Lu was drunk and was helped back home. He lay down for a while and asked for water. I heard it and came to see him, but I didn't expect him to..."

As he said this, he seemed to feel that he shouldn't have said it, and lowered his head as if he was about to cry.

Seeing her acting like this, Du Wenxiu felt even more annoyed.

"How could I know? Just tell me and I will make the decision for you."

Qin Dingxiang shook her head rapidly.

"Why did you untie my belt just now?" Lu Fanghai asked in a deep voice, getting straight to the point.

Qin Dingxiang lowered her head and hid her face, words coming out from between her fingers, sobbing:

"I originally wanted to ask Brother Lu if he wanted some water, but Brother Lu mistook me for his sister and tore off my clothes and asked for... for..."

Du Wenxiu's face turned pale instantly.

Recently, I have been suspecting that I cannot have children because my soul and body are not compatible after traveling through time. I am afraid that Lu Fanghai will have a grudge against me, and I am very worried.

After hearing this, Lu Fanghai was furious. He stepped forward and kicked Qin Dingxiang to the ground. Qin Dingxiang rolled on the ground several times and was blocked by the door sill, groaning in pain.

"How dare you say that, bitch!"

Seeing Qin Dingxiang huddled together and shaking her head to say that she was not talking nonsense, Lu Fanghai became extremely angry and stepped forward to kick her again.

Du Wenxiu hurried forward and hugged his arm. With Lu Fanghai's strength, Qin Dingxiang's small body might not be able to withstand two kicks. It would not be worth it if someone died.

Lu Fanghai's eyes widened with anger, he looked at Qin Dingxiang with a murderous look, and said grimly:

"So that you, my slave, know that the way I tie my belt is only used by soldiers. It is impossible to untie it without being taught. You are dreaming if you want to use this to frame me."

Du Wenxiu then noticed that his belt was indeed half-untied and twisted into a ball, and it was completely unlike the usual way of tying a knot that would come undone with a simple pull.

Frowning and looking sideways at Qin Dingxiang, Du Wenxiu wanted to go up and hit her a couple of times to vent the anger in his heart.

But thinking about the fact that she was an orphan who came here, no matter how hateful she was, he still couldn't bring himself to do it.

"Go pack your things and leave."

Du Wenxiu looked at her with disgust. Qin Dingxiang endured the pain, silently got up from the ground, covered her stomach, held on to the wall, and moved towards the west wing step by step.

The two people in the room resolved the misunderstanding, and Du Wenxiu felt guilty and a little embarrassed.

"I wronged you this time. Does it hurt?"

She looked at Lu Fanghai who was furious, stepped forward and pulled off his clothes. She had just swung the broom with her eyes closed and didn't know where she hit him or how hard it was.

How could Lu Fanghai dare to agree? Seeing that she softened, he stretched out his arms to embrace her and said angrily:

"It's all because of this slutty maid's despicable behavior. It's also my fault that I got drunk and gave her the opportunity. It's my blessing that Xiuniang didn't blame me for being so nervous about me."

Du Wenxiu rolled her eyes at him, tapped his head with her finger, and said angrily, "Now that you've become a yamen runner, you've learned to be smooth-talking."

Qin Dingxiang had packed a small bag and was walking out. When she reached the door, she looked back at the main room with hatred in her eyes, then opened the gate and went out.

"Xiuniang, please go and take a look. Don't let her take our things away."

"She is from a poor family and has a ruined business. What is there to take with her? I'm afraid she will hate me to the core." Du Wenxiu looked out the window, looked at Qin Dingxiang's back, and sighed.

Lu Fanghai fastened his belt again and said with a smile, "If Xiuniang is worried, I will find a reason to arrest her and put her in jail until she behaves herself."

Du Wenxiu smiled and pushed him back to sit on the kang:

"You really are. You've only been a deputy for a few days. You didn't learn anything good, but you learned a lot of ways to bully men and women. How could she, a weak woman, use such means?"

Seeing her attitude warm up, Lu Fanghai also smiled innocently and said, "She is a woman of unknown origin. She has lived in our house for so many days. If she has evil intentions, it will be troublesome."

"There's no need to make such a big fuss. She's also a poor person. It's just me who can't tolerate her being around. Otherwise, if she were a virtuous woman, I'm afraid she would have already decided to let you stay with her..."

Lu Fanghai hugged her and blocked her mouth for a long time before letting go and saying:

"Don't ever mention this again. Ever since I first saw you, I couldn't let go of anyone else."

"But..." Du Wenxiu hesitated.

"No buts." Lu Fanghai said firmly.

Du Wenxiu finally expressed her concerns and asked timidly, "What if I can't have a baby?"

Lu Fanghai frowned and didn't allow her to talk nonsense.

But she was resolute and persistent.

Lu Fanghai thought for a moment and said to her:

"If you can't have a child, then it's my destiny to be childless. If you really want a child, you can adopt Qiao'er's child. If she doesn't want one, we can find an orphan and adopt one. Then we have to take a concubine. Maybe I have committed too many sins as a soldier and brought trouble to you. Please don't blame me, Xiuniang."

Du Wenxiu threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried uncontrollably.

Since that day, the relationship between the two has become better, but no one knows where Qin Dingxiang went after leaving the Lu family.

Lu Fanghai called on his men from the government office, and they searched for several days but still couldn't find her. He just thought that he should be more concerned and not let her do anything bad.

When he had time, Du Wenxiu told him the story of Du Wenchan and her daughter, and asked him to think of a solution.

After a few days, he actually came up with an idea.
