After Xiao Lan left the county government office, he wanted to go directly to Xiao Xuan and ask him how many secrets this pretentious man had.

She arrived at Baixianglou, gave the waiter a few copper coins, and was told that it was Xiao Xuan's room. She knocked on the door and heard a woman's voice from inside. She thought she had knocked on the wrong door, but then realized it and continued knocking until it opened.

"Who are you looking for?" Liu Yue opened the door in frustration. She hadn't seen Liu Hu in a few days and couldn't find him anywhere. Liu Yu hadn't said a word about her arrival except to scold her. As soon as she returned to her room, she was met with another knock on the door without a reply.

Xiao Lan immediately recognized the girl before her as the one Liu Hu had been with last time. Liu Hu had said this was his sister, who had come a long way from home. He wanted to spend more time with her and might visit her less often. Then he turned around and said she didn't need to be accompanied, that she was looking for her ideal husband, not to see him. He said this with a hint of disappointment, repeating a bunch of things like, "Girls grow up and can't be kept."

If she hadn't found the wrong room, then Xiao Xuan was Liu Yue's ideal husband? So, was Liu Yue the reason Xiao Xuan didn't want to stay here? But now Xiao Lan wasn't sure if Xiao Xuan really didn't want to stay here.

"Come in!" Liu Yue took a deep breath, as if only in this way could she talk to Xiao Lan calmly.

Xiao Lan thought that she must have come to the right place, nodded slightly as a thank you, and went in.

Who would have thought that as soon as the door closed, he felt a cold touch on his neck. Xiao Xuan, who was sitting opposite him, quickly stood up to comfort him.

"Yueyue! Don't be impulsive!"

Xiao Lan didn't dare to move, after all, the sharp blade on her neck was very murderous.

"Don't protect her! Tell me! Where did you take my brother?"

Liu Yue didn't have a good impression of Xiao Lan, a married woman who had captivated her second brother. Who could be so kind as to allow a robber to climb over the wall every day? She must be a vixen.

"He left my place yesterday and never came back."

Now it was Xiao Xuan's turn to look at Xiao Lan in surprise. He didn't expect that Xiao Lan was really having an affair with Liu Hu.

"I knew he was completely bewitched by you, a vixen. He was at your place after several days of being nowhere to be found. What did he say before he left yesterday? Why didn't he come to see me?"

Liu Yue knew that her second brother still cared about her. Although he didn't see her every day, he would talk to her every now and then. But now he hadn't come to see her for several days in a row, and there was no news at all.

"How do I know why he didn't come to you? But he might never come to me again!" Xiao Lan reached out and pushed the sword aside. Liu Yue no longer hesitated and slowly put the sword down. She knew how much Liu Hu loved Xiao Lan, so naturally he wouldn't really hurt her, even though she was a vixen.

Xiao Xuan just gave him a questioning look, and Liu Yue, who was impatient, was unable to ask further questions.

"Why?"

Xiao Lan turned around first, adjusting her position to look at the two people. As she looked them over, she felt that their relationship was incredibly complicated.

"Speak!" Liu Yue raised the sword again, and this time it was Xiao Xuan who pressed the sword down.

"Because he cheated on me, he has no face to come to me again." Xiao Lan stared at Xiao Xuan while speaking. Liu Yue seemed to have a simple mind and no secrets in his eyes, but Xiao Xuan was different.

But now it seems that Xiao Xuan doesn't know about this either.

"My second brother never lies!" Liu Yue said it firmly, but Xiao Lan found it unbelievable.

"Perhaps your second brother never lied to you!" Xiao Lan glanced at her, gradually losing patience with this noisy girl. She just looked at the two of them, "Liu Yue is Liu Yu's sister, and Liu Hu is his brother. They all came back to help you and your father fight for the Xiao family's assets, right?"

Xiao Lan hid the relationship with Fan Zhixing. After all, this relationship was quite deep. If Liu Hu hadn't said it, they would not have guessed that Su Ze and Xiao Lan had already known about it.

"Xiao Xuan and I are going back to Beidu. Who cares about your broken family business?" Liu Yue was very unhappy when she saw Xiao Lan's blunt questioning.

"You don't want it, but there are people who do. Xiao Xuan, when you came here, you told me you didn't want this family business. I didn't fight for it, but you insisted I do! Now you resort to such dirty tricks, killing my husband and kidnapping my son. Do you want me dead so you can have no worries?" Xiao Lan ignored Liu Yue's words and stared at Xiao Xuan. She didn't believe that after she said this, Xiao Xuan could still act as usual, without any flaws.

As expected, Xiao Xuan's expression froze, as if he had heard something unbelievable. He opened his mouth but didn't argue. However, Liu Yue couldn't bear to see Xiao Xuan being slandered.

The shiny sword was raised again, but was pressed down by Xiao Xuan again.

Xiao Lan had been observing Xiao Xuan's reaction. It was obvious from his reaction that he was originally unaware of the situation, but now he had guessed something.

"You said I was your sister and came to my house to find me. I believed every word you said sincerely. Even during the cloth shop competition, I never doubted you. I just thought you were disobeying your father's orders... Now..." Xiao Lan lowered her eyes and shook her head, giving a bitter and sad smile, "I'm just a woman, and I've been deceived everywhere. Your brother deceived me, and my brother also deceived me..."

"Then I will die. I only ask you to spare my grandchildren and my small dowry so they can live and grow up."

Xiao Lan turned around and left without even looking at the two of them.

Before Xiao Xuan could move, Liu Yue grabbed her.

This girl has been practicing martial arts since she was a child, and her hands are very strong. She made Xiao Lan frown when she grabbed her. This time, she didn't need to pretend to cry, and she shed a few tears in pain.

"I'm sorry. I came to you because I really didn't want this family business. You can see that Liu Yue and I are in love, just like you and Liu Hu. I was planning to propose marriage to her family when I returned to Beidu, but now I'm trapped here and I feel helpless. I didn't expect things to turn out like this... Your son..." Xiao Xuan was no longer as gentle and polite as before. He always spoke slowly and smiled. Now his eyes were full of guilt, and his expression was very solemn. But Xiao Lan began to wonder if he was acting, if he was deceiving herself with his current appearance, just like she was now.

Just now in the carriage, she also felt extremely bored. She didn't see the contempt in Su Ze's eyes as before, only sincere reminders and concerns. But there was no way. Sometimes when you spend too much time with someone, you are always stimulated by the same thing, and a conditioned reflex will form. When someone accidentally touches you, you will lose control of your emotions, not to mention that these two people look exactly the same!

When Liu Yue heard that Xiao Lan's husband had been murdered and her son had been kidnapped, she suddenly realized that things seemed to be getting complicated. She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Xuan. He seemed to really know what was going on in his explanation.

"What do you mean? My second brother did it? Impossible!" Liu Yue stared at Xiao Lan and pulled her to face him. "Let me tell you, although I'm not happy with you, my second brother loves you deeply! He takes me shopping every day just to follow you and protect you! He couldn't have kidnapped your son! I'm not sure he killed your husband..."
