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

There are bandits in Beidu, on the mountain across from the town. They used to rob people, but now the soldiers come to suppress them from time to time, but it's useless.

Suppressing bandits was difficult. Without officers truly committed to action, there were no soldiers willing to sacrifice. Consequently, the bandits could not be completely eliminated, and the military pay for the suppression of bandits continued to flow, with the bandits occasionally offering tribute. The officers and soldiers lived a comfortable life.

Liu Qiang was the bandit leader of Beidu Mountain, with over a hundred comrades. Camped atop the mountain, it was easy to defend and difficult to attack, and he lived a comfortable life. He had a wife, his first wife, and both had practiced martial arts since childhood. Liu Qiang was no match for his wife, Liu.

The reason why the two became bandits here is said to be because Liu Qiang offended an official in a city and was accused of a false crime by that person. The two were dissatisfied and killed the official. Then they came here to rob the rich and give to the poor.

As its reputation spread, more people came to seek refuge there, and gradually it became a secluded village.

They have two sons, the eldest Liu Yu and the second Liu Hu. These two children also learned martial arts from their parents since childhood and inherited the true skills. They often practiced martial arts with each other.

The eldest brother, Liu Yu, was not as skilled as Liu Hu in physical combat, but he was quick-witted and always used some shady tricks that Liu Hu could not handle. Every time, he would cry and call his parents to take charge.

My father said, "All is fair in war; the cat that catches the mouse is the real cat."

My mother said, "You must have principles as a person and never do anything that goes against your conscience."

They robbed officials on the road, robbing corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen.

But at some point, Liu Qiang had colluded with a corrupt official for money, not only sharing military pay but also becoming sworn brothers with the official. The corrupt official, who had previously been beheaded by Liu Qiang for plundering the people's wealth, now sat at the same table, drinking and chatting.

Liu Shi didn't want Liu Qiang to listen to the officials' orders and help them eliminate the dissidents passing by in the name of robbers. But Liu Qiang said that as long as he had money, he was a bandit, so why should he distinguish between the people he robbed.

The two grew increasingly estranged, arguing constantly. One day, Liu returned home in a rage, vowing to bring her brothers with her to shake up the village! Liu's family was a martial arts family, and many of her brothers were upright men, so Liu Qiang was somewhat intimidated.

Just as I was thinking about how to solve the problem, Yinzi came knocking on the door.

The corrupt official said that someone offered Liu Qiang three hundred taels of silver to kidnap a mother and her son. Although the woman was a little old, she was a beauty, and the son was also handsome.

After being tied up, the more miserable the place you sell him to, the better. As long as his life is worse than death, you can easily get three hundred taels.

Liu Qiang was naturally willing to take on such a good deal. He and Liu Shi were at odds and had long ceased to be husband and wife. He usually went down the mountain to visit brothels to relieve his boredom, but now that something was offered to him, and he could make money, why not take advantage of it?

But he was still suspicious, and only felt relieved when the corrupt official got drunk and said that she was just the concubine of a wealthy family.

Liu had been back home for only half a day when he and his brothers left home at night. His brothers didn't know where they were going, so they just followed them. But Liu Qiang had a clear goal.

Coming back from South City, I didn't dare take the main road, so I took the small road. There was only one small road, and if I followed it, I would always come across it.

As expected! Although it wasn't a mother and son, but three people, this woman was indeed as fair-skinned and beautiful as the corrupt official said. Her eyes sparkled like stars on a lake at night. It would be better to taste a woman like this before selling her.

He didn't know who had reported the secret, and just as he was done, Liu came with a sword and swung it, almost making him a eunuch.

But Liu was his first wife after all, and they had been together since childhood, so she was reluctant to let him go. Liu Qiang promised not to do such things again in the future, and only then did Liu let him go and took him back to the village.

But how could someone who had tasted the sweetness of success go back to hard times? His collaboration with corrupt officials had brought him unprecedented wealth. He could rob merchants and kill officials, and even no one came to suppress the bandits. Liu Qiang couldn't bear to give up such a carefree life.

But in front of Liu, he no longer acted openly. He secretly won over many confidants, and even brought over several of Liu's brothers from her mother's family, keeping it a secret from Liu.

Liu was unaware of the situation and thought that Liu Qiang had really turned over a new leaf and returned to his days of robbing the rich and helping the poor.

Bandits would also come down the mountain to wander around the town. They would wear masks when they robbed houses, so no one would recognize them when they came to the street.

That day, Liu Qiang went out for a drink with a few of his brothers. They said that there was a famous restaurant in the town with home-style flavors and unique style, which was worth a try.

This trip conquered Liu Qiang's stomach and also won his heart.

When Fang Feiyan brought the dishes to the table from the kitchen, she recognized Liu Qiang immediately. And Liu Qiang only needed to glance up to be sure of Fang Feiyan's eyes. This woman was the most beautiful he had ever seen in his life. Even now that she was middle-aged, she still had a charming demeanor.

That cowardly, angry and desperate look dug a hole in Liu Qiang's heart that never closed again, but now it is closed.

He remained calm. If he wanted to be a good person, he had to start from the beginning.

Late at night, Liu Qiang sneaked into Fang Feiyan's room. Fang Feiyan was shocked but did not dare to shout, for fear that he would hurt Xiao Wen and Fan Zhixing in the next room.

"We are really destined to be together!" Liu Qiang sat beside Fang Feiyan's bed, stretched out his hand to stroke her messy hair, looked into those dreamy eyes, and the meaning at the corner of his mouth was obvious.

"Please leave us, an orphan and a widow, a way to survive."

Fang Feiyan's voice trembled. For three years, this man had been living in her nightmares. She had never expected that he would appear before her in real life. The humiliation of the past instantly flooded her mind. Xiao Xuan's memories were far less intense than the feeling of seeing this man.

"Of course, I have to leave a way out." Liu Qiang thought he was smiling gently, but he didn't know that the smile of a murderer would also make people feel scared.

"Both sons have grown up and are doing well! The eldest son looks like you and is tall. Whose is the youngest one? I don't see you have a man." Liu Qiang looked around the room several times and saw no signs of a man living there.

Fang Feiyan's heart was in a state of confusion. She wanted to resist but knew she was powerless. For the sake of the two children in the next room, she could only endure it.

"yours……"

"Mine?" Liu Qiang was overjoyed, but also suspicious. "I'm afraid it's not from some man. You must have lied to me to please me."

"I didn't. I gave birth to her in the town across the mountain and raised her here. There was no other man..."

Fang Feiyan looked at Liu Qiang and realized that after three years, this man might not want to live anymore.

"You...the Xiao family asked you to come to me?"

"No, it's fate. I didn't expect to meet you again after all these years. I didn't even earn the three hundred taels..."

Liu Qiang moved closer to Fang Feiyan. Fang Feiyan took a deep breath and curled her lips into an ugly smile, but did not step back.

"You don't have to smile so uncomfortably. If the son is really mine, that would be even better. But if he's not mine, I don't care. I will definitely treat you well in the future!"

Because Fan Zhixing drank too much water at night, he hunched his neck as he walked to the door, and walked very carefully for fear of waking up Xiao Xuan and Xiao Wen.

That's why he heard the noise in the next room. He heard the man say he didn't earn the three hundred taels, and he also heard him say he would treat Fang Feiyan well. He wanted to carry the stone in, but eventually gave up.

He squatted in the corner and heard the disgusting noises inside in the middle of the night, which made him feel an indescribable feeling in his heart.

He cut his arm with a stone. Every cut was painful, but after the pain he felt a sense of relief.

From that day on, he never dared to look Fang Feiyan in the eye again.
