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

Liu Hu saw Su Ze, who could single-handedly beat three men, sitting across from him, his eyes filled with the urge to strike. He had just made Xiao Lan laugh, and Xiao Lan had even reached out to pat him on the shoulder. Liu Hu felt that the two of them had been very close these past two days, but unfortunately, whenever they were about to get close, Su Ze would appear.

Su Ze looked at Liu Hu, then at Xiao Lan.

"Are you sure you want to say it again in front of him?"

Xiao Lan's eyes were cold, and the look she gave Liu Hu was different from before.

"Um……"

Liu Hu knew that Xiao Lan had just gone to pick up Su Ze, and he seemed like a different person when he walked into the house.

"Liu Hu, a native of the Northern Expedition, is the younger brother of Liu Yu, the garrison commander. He approached Xiao Lan probably because of the Xiao family's inheritance. Sun Shaohua's death and Sun Jiye's kidnapping were probably orchestrated by you, right?"

Su Ze's words were like a knife, instantly cutting through the package that Liu Hu had hidden in front of Xiao Lan. The truth scattered all over the ground like a handful of beads, jumping and pounced in front of Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan also seemed to have been cut by these knife-like beads.

But her face was calm, and her eyes were calm, she just looked at Liu Hu like a pool of stagnant water. It was as if Su Ze was telling a story, everything in it had nothing to do with her and she had no interest in it.

Liu Hu looked at Xiao Lan's expression and felt that he was finished. He knew that the trust he and Xiao Lan had built up with great difficulty was completely destroyed by Su Ze's few words.

"I didn't mean to lie to you..."

Xiao Lan snorted and laughed, as if mocking herself, "How could the deception not be intentional?" She paused, but her eyes were red. She never thought that one day she would feel betrayed by this robber.

She thought that her feelings for Liu Hu were just insincere and they were just using each other.

But I didn't expect that now that I know Liu Hu's true purpose, I would feel betrayed.

Xiao Lan's red eyes made Liu Hu feel a strong sense of loss as if something he had been determined to get was lost in an instant. This feeling of loss made his anger surge, and he wished he could eat Su Ze alive.

"What do you mean!" He slapped the table hard, making a crack, and the stool behind him fell to the ground.

"I just told Madam Sun the truth." Su Ze was not afraid of the momentum displayed by Liu Hu. There was a meaning of "so that's it" in his eyes when he stared at Liu Hu.

He didn't know the relationship between Fan Zhixing and Liu Yu, nor was he sure about the relationship between Liu Shoubei and Xiao Zongwen. He was deceiving him.

But Liu Hu's performance now made him certain that these people must be connected, and the ultimate purpose of their connection was because of the Xiao family's rich family business.

"Madam Sun..." Liu Hu shook his head. He stared at Su Ze with mockery in his eyes and snorted, "Heh... you're pretending very well. You just want to use this method to drive me away so that you can take advantage of the situation and get in!"

Su Ze showed no weakness, his brows etched with disgust. If it was true, as Liu Hu claimed, that his feelings for Xiao Lan were genuine, and that, despite being a bandit, he was willing to do chivalrous things to protect Xiao Lan, then he would have admired him. But now, everything Liu Hu did was simply to cooperate with his brother and Xiao's mistress to gain control of the Xiao family's fortune.

If Xiao Lan believed Liu Hu, truly believed that he was sincere to her, and gave herself completely to him, then the Xiao family's assets would have passed into the hands of the Liu family. If he only gained Xiao Lan's trust but secretly helped Xiao Zongwen, then Xiao Lan's final outcome would still not be much better.

"You know exactly why you approached her."

"My goal is to get Xiao Lan! I say this in front of Liu Yu and Fan Zhixing. I have never been involved in their affairs!" Liu Hu said this, afraid that Xiao Lan would not believe him, so he turned to look at her.

But what he saw was the indifference and distrust in Xiao Lan's eyes. He raised his eyebrows slightly, finally calmed down, and said reluctantly: "Don't you know how I treat you?"

Xiao Lan was now in turmoil. She might not have had romantic feelings for Liu Hu, but she had to admit that they had built trust and a bond over the past month. But now that he was exposed like this, she couldn't accept it. If Liu Hu had known all the inside story, and seen how distraught she was for Sun Jiye, would he have put on such a contrived act, desperately coming back and saying "I'm sorry" to her with eyes full of guilt?

She... couldn't accept such deception. She couldn't accept that the person who swore solemnly and tried so hard to gain her trust was actually deceiving her for the sake of others.

She originally thought that Liu Hu was frank about his thoughts about her, and that it was just a gesture of goodwill from a man who put principles first towards a woman.

She thought she had Liu Hu in her hands, but it turned out that Liu Hu was holding her in his hands. She didn't know whether her hatred for Liu Hu was hidden deep, or whether she was really stupid, really thinking that she could change from a "bandit" to a "knight"?

"I know how you treat me, so now I don't trust you even more. I think you are trying your best to achieve your goal, but not for me..." Xiao Lan lowered her eyes and smiled, her eyes full of loneliness hidden in her lowered gaze. She was surprised that she could not accept Liu Hu's betrayal, and this discomfort was mixed with other complex emotions.

Liu Hu was even more flustered now. He seemed to understand what Xiao Lan had said just now. "I..." But he felt that whatever he said would be wrong.

"Please tell Xiao Zongwen that I have no intention of fighting for the Xiao family's property. I am here just to survive and live well with my two children. But now... he has gone too far, and I am not the kind of person who will tolerate it blindly." When she raised her eyes again, her eyes became fierce, stabbing at Liu Hu like a knife.

"Family property... a concubine's son, forget it." Xiao Lan stood up and gestured to Liu Hu to see him off. Instinctively, she pointed at the half-open window, then after a slight pause, she switched her hand to the door. "Please go through the main entrance."

Liu Hu stood up straight and looked at Xiao Lan. His hands hung down weakly, and he slowly walked towards the door.

"I just want to ask you one thing..."

After Xiao Lan said this, Liu Hu looked at her expectantly.

"Lin Rui, was he sent by you?"

Liu Hu's eyes dimmed, and without hesitation, he replied calmly, "I don't know..."

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

Lin Rui looked at the post in his hand. The address on it was "Xiao Mansion". Lin Yao was tearing off the head of a candy man and stuffing it into her mouth. She blinked her big eyes curiously at the post, but did not reach out to open it.

"where?"

"Xiao family, please behave yourself tonight." Lin Rui casually threw the note onto the table and leaned onto the couch beside him. Lin Yao glanced at him and walked over to pour him a cup of tea.

Then he dodged and sat back on the stool, continuing to stuff the sugar man into his mouth.

"This family is very smart..."

"I understand, little prince..." Lin Yao chewed the sugar man hard, making a crunching sound, and it broke into sugar residue and was swallowed.
