Favoring the concubine and killing the wife? She divorced the concubine and lived with her concubine

Hey everyone, I broke my promise.

The collection didn't break two hundred, but I still bought the keyboard.

I had a little luck at work today. I wish everyone can have a little luck every day.

Thank you for collecting it, kids.

-----------------

It was late at night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, the shadows of the trees swayed on the ground, the water in the fish pond occasionally rippled, and Xiao Lan's hair swayed gently back and forth beside her ears.

There were snacks in the pavilion, but there was no sign that they had been touched. Su Ze stood by the pool with Xiao Lan, staring at her reflection in the water in a trance.

They were all waiting for someone who might show up, but unfortunately there was no sign of him coming.

Xiao Lan was a little impatient, frowning as she looked at the courtyard wall and then at the nearby rooftop. In her relationship with Liu Hu, Xiao Lan had always been passive. She couldn't take the initiative to contact this man. Although he always showed up when she needed him, she didn't know why he couldn't do that today.

"Maybe he didn't want to come because you were here." Xiao Lan lowered her eyes to look at the fish pond. She couldn't make out the faces of the two people reflected in the pond. As the wind blew across the water, their figures swayed. She naturally didn't want Su Ze to stay here, but for some reason, Su Ze just didn't want to leave. After all, the county government still needed to work hard to find him, so she couldn't force him to leave.

She had thought Liu Hu would come when Su Ze and the little beggar left town that afternoon, but he hadn't. Su Ze returned in the evening, but Liu Hu still hadn't come. Now it was late at night, and she was exhausted, both physically and mentally, and Liu Hu still hadn't come.

I don't know when, I began to have inappropriate expectations for this person who always appears at any time. I always feel that if I encounter any problems, this person will definitely be there. This is habit. The most terrifying thing about people is getting used to another person, no matter what the reason.

"If he really wanted to come, he would have come this afternoon when I wasn't here."

Su Ze's gaze followed Xiao Lan as he looked towards the courtyard wall. Since Xiao Lan spoke so frankly, he naturally believed that there was nothing wrong between her and the bandit leader. However, such an intersection was not a good thing for a woman.

He didn't know why Xiao Lan had such trust in this person. At least when he and Xiao Lan were facing each other with arrows in hand, Xiao Lan showed no signs of getting along well with that person.

He originally guessed that Xiao Lan was forced into a desperate situation, but now it seems that is not the case.

"Maybe..." Xiao Lan was absent-minded.

There was nothing unusual going on at the Xiao family; Xiao Xuan and Xiao Zongwen stayed in the restaurant, seemingly never leaving. Fang Qingqing had actually asked for the door number and knocked on it herself. She'd said she'd gotten the wrong door twice, but it was a surprise people would believe her.

However, I heard that I saw a girl in Xiao Xuan's room, and that the girl was angry with Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan was so upset that he looked very unhappy when he opened the door. But when he saw that it was Fang Qingqing, he still greeted her politely, after all, the two had met at the Sun family.

The girl's accent didn't seem to be from a local. Perhaps that was why Xiao Xuan didn't want to stay in Nancheng.

Xiao Lan thought about all this carefully. She was worried that Xiao Zongwen, the illegitimate son, was worried about Sun Jiye's appearance and wanted to remove the obstacles before him. Without that son, Xiao Lan might not have the opportunity to inherit the family business.

So Xiao Lan suspected them, but was also worried that if she rushed to Xiao Cheng blindly, it would only cause trouble.

"You are waiting for me." Liu Hu's voice was a little hoarse than usual, and he could hardly hide his fatigue.

Liu Hu looked at Su Ze who was also looking at him. As soon as he approached, Su Ze noticed him, which showed that this person was very perceptive.

He watched them from a distance for a long time. He saw Xiao Lan looking at the courtyard wall and the roof, as if looking for him. This scene made his heart itch, and he couldn't bear the man next to her, so he appeared.

When Xiao Lan heard Liu Hu's voice, her dim eyes lit up and she quickly turned around to greet him.

"Sun Shaohua is gone, Sun Jiye is missing! Someone asked for a ransom but didn't tell me where to meet. Do you know who did this? Do you recognize them? Can you ask?"

Liu Hu could clearly sense Xiao Lan's anticipation for his arrival; her eyes lit up like the moon tonight when she saw him. But Liu Hu also knew that Xiao Lan's expectation was solely for him to help her find Sun Jiye, but that didn't matter to him anymore. If it weren't for someone else, he would have held that person in his arms, carefully inhaling their pleasant aroma before replying.

But now Su Ze was looking at him with the eyes of a man, and the look in his eyes was not just like a county magistrate looking at a man who climbed over the wall.

Su Ze looked at Xiao Lan, and felt a sour taste in his throat as if something was stuck, but he could only stand behind her silently and let her put her expectations on the other man in front of her.

After all, Su Ze had returned empty-handed this afternoon. There was no clue in the dilapidated house outside the city, and there seemed to be no signs of anyone staying on the nearby hill. Su Ze even began to expect that Liu Hu would say something.

"Who is this?" Liu Hu asked Xiao Lan, his question sounding simple and intimate.

Liu Hu naturally recognized Su Ze, but Su Ze did not recognize Liu Hu. He went out of the city today to deal with the matter of Sun Jiye. On his way, he robbed and killed people and snatched a child, just to put the blame on him.

He had thought Liu Yu would come looking for him, but no one showed up. He went to ask Liu Yu himself, but he was told to leave it alone. Since Liu Yu said so, it must have been Liu Yu who did it! He should have thought of it earlier. If it wasn't Liu Yu, how could someone disappear without a trace right under his nose?

Liu Hu speculated that this might be a ploy orchestrated by Liu Yu and Fan Zhixing on behalf of Xiao Zongwen. After all, they felt that without Sun Jiye, it wouldn't make sense for Xiao Lan to inherit the family business. Liu Hu didn't understand why Xiao Zongwen was so determined to take over the Xiao family's assets. They already had a substantial fortune in Beidu and lived comfortably without needing to rely on others, so why bother coming here?

He now knew about his sister's affair with Xiao Xuan, and Xiao Xuan had also stated that he would accompany Liu Yue back to Beidu Mountain and refused to get involved in this matter. Xiao Zongwen didn't even want his own son, so wouldn't he be unable to stay if he wanted to come back?

But Liu Hu naturally wouldn't tell the two people in front of him about the mess inside, not to mention that he still hadn't found Sun Jiye's whereabouts. Liu Yu only said that he would be sent back soon, but no one said who would send it back and how.

"Don't worry about it, just tell me whether you know or not!" Xiao Lan didn't want Liu Hu and Su Ze to talk too much nonsense. She had been waiting for most of the day, and she really wanted to know whether Liu Hu could be of any use!

"I'm the county magistrate here. I'm here with Madam Sun, waiting for you to see if you can cooperate with the county government and bring back the young master of the Sun family safely." Su Ze explained the reason for his stay. He spoke in a high-sounding manner, but not frankly. He didn't like the tone of Liu Hu and Xiao Lan's conversation, as if they were already talking about everything. Of course, he could also see that Xiao Lan was more relaxed when facing this robber than when she was with him.

"Sun Jiye is fine, sir, don't bother here." Liu Hu wanted to comfort Xiao Lan, so there were some things he didn't want to say in front of Su Ze. He thought Xiao Lan must have been worried all day, and even in such a dim pavilion, he could see Xiao Lan's face was gloomy.

"How do you know?" Xiao Lan grabbed Liu Hu's sleeve. Since he could say this so confidently, it meant that he must know something.

Without thinking, Su Ze reached out and pulled Xiao Lan back. Xiao Lan looked back at him in confusion, only to see Su Ze staring at Liu Hu. "You are so sure, maybe this matter has something to do with you?"

No matter what Xiao Lan said, Su Ze remained wary of the man before him. He was now certain that this man was the bandit leader he had shot with an arrow at the Sun family's house. Back then, he had used Xiao Lan as a shield, and in the dim light, he couldn't quite make out his appearance. But now, standing before him, his stature and outline were remarkably similar.

Xiao Lan already had doubts about Liu Hu's affirmation. When Su Ze asked this, she instinctively looked at Liu Hu, wanting to get an answer.

"You don't believe me?" Liu Hu had been busy all day on Sun Jiye's case, and even after being lectured by Liu Yu about not interfering, he was already in a bad mood. He couldn't help but feel irritated when Xiao Lan, who hadn't seen enough of Xiao Lan's anticipation, started doubting him again.

He thought he had been good enough to Xiao Lan during this period, and he did everything around her, but Su Ze only asked a question, and she began to doubt herself!
