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

Liu Yue was sleeping on the edge of Liu Hu's bed, her body aching. As she drifted off, she felt someone behind her. With a backhanded move, she grabbed the person's wrist, causing them to cry out in pain.

"Let go! Let go!" Xiao Lan felt pain and patted Liu Yue's shoulder desperately. Fortunately, Liu Yue reacted quickly and let go immediately, otherwise Xiao Lan's wrist would have been broken.

"Sorry..." Liu Yue knew her strength and stood up, looking at Xiao Lan rubbing her wrist, her face full of guilt. "Are you okay?" After spending a few days together, Liu Yue felt that Xiao Lan also genuinely cared about Liu Hu. Although she didn't feel any affection between them, she was taking good care of Liu Hu, so she didn't guard Xiao Lan so much. Besides, his family was in the midst of a funeral, and he was indeed a pitiful person...

Xiao Lan frowned and shook her head. "It's okay..." Her answer was very reluctant. She lifted her sleeve and saw the obvious red marks. She was curious about what the Liu family had been eating to grow up. Each one of them was so powerful.

"Still no signs of waking up?" Xiao Lan endured the pain, put down her hand, and walked forward to look at Liu Hu.

"I don't know when my second brother will wake up. If he does, tell me who hurt him. I will make that person pay with his life."

Liu Yue spoke with righteous indignation, and Xiao Lan knew that Liu Yue would indeed avenge Liu Hu, but whether she could achieve this was another matter.

"You asked me before where your brother went after leaving me, and I said I didn't know." Xiao Lan poured a bowl of warm water, sat down beside Liu Hu's bed, and used a spoon to try to moisten his mouth. His lips were dry and cracked, and although Liu Yue was concerned, she was also a careless person and didn't notice these details.

"Well... actually you know?" Liu Yue was suspicious, turned around and bent down to see Xiao Lan's expression.

"I don't know, I'm just guessing... who he might be looking for." Xiao Lan used a handkerchief to wipe the warm water that Liu Hu couldn't swallow from the corner of his mouth, without looking at Liu Yue.

"Who are you looking for?"

Liu Yue was impatient and didn't like Xiao Lan's hesitation in speaking.

"Then let me ask you first, why haven't you looked for your eldest brother in all these days? Considering the power of South City, Liu Yu, the garrison commander, should be the one you seek help from."

Xiao Lan then looked up at her.

In fact, Xiao Lan has always wanted to ask this question, but from Liu Yue's words, she feels that Liu Yu does not care about this little sister.

"I couldn't find my second brother before, so I went to look for him. He ignored me and told me not to get involved, as if he knew the inside story." Liu Yue paused, thinking about how far to go with this.

"He doesn't care about your second brother? He doesn't even care about his life or death?"

Xiao Lan wanted to read something from Liu Yue's face, but Liu Yue just looked embarrassed and seemed very conflicted.

"No... My eldest brother doesn't care about me, but he's pretty good to my second brother."

"then you……"

"My second brother is very good at martial arts, and he's been with you and me all this time. He hasn't caused any trouble outside. This person was able to stab me directly in the vitals, and my second brother didn't even block it. I just feel..."

"Do you think Liu Yu might have hurt him?" Xiao Lan was naturally suspicious, but she didn't expect that Liu Yue would suspect his own brother.

Liu Yue stood up straight and stopped talking.

"I think that your eldest brother and your second brother have been out on the road since they were young, and have depended on each other to work hard until now. It is impossible that they have no brotherly feelings. Did you misunderstand something about your eldest brother?" Xiao Lan put the bowl of water aside and pulled Liu Yue to sit next to her.

Seeing that her eyes were dark and bruised, and she no longer had the spirit she had when they first met, he knew that she had been worried about Liu Hu these days and was very concerned about him.

"No...I..." Liu Yue hesitated to speak, and Xiao Lan did not ask any further questions.

"So, even if you have doubts, I believe your elder brother doesn't really want to kill him."

Liu Yue clenched her fist in Xiao Lan's palm, but lowered her head and said nothing.

"You also said that you had never seen this kind of weapon. Your eldest brother didn't know how to use it, and the military camp was used to using knives. So your eldest brother should know very well who was using your eldest brother's name to hurt Liu Hu. Your eldest brother's original intention may have been just to make him retreat, but he didn't know that this person had hurt your second brother so badly that his life was in danger." Xiao Lan held Liu Yue's hand, stretched out his hand to lift Liu Yue's face, and made her look at him.

"Perhaps your eldest brother has also been kept in the dark."

At this point, Liu Yue's eyes were already red, and tears fell one by one like beads that had broken off the string.

"When my eldest brother was little, he loved my second brother the most and didn't like me. He would save any delicious food at home for my second brother. Even though he would sometimes sneakily bully him, he would never want to kill him!" Liu Yue cried louder and louder, and her words became increasingly unclear. "There must be... there must be..."

Seeing her crying like this, Xiao Lan guessed that she had been tormented for days by the suspicion that Liu Yu was going to kill Liu Hu, and that she must be feeling very aggrieved. So she stopped asking questions and let her cry for a while.

Fang Qingqing also came in at this time. Seeing Liu Yue crying like this, she was a little confused. She glanced at Liu Hu and saw that he was the same as before, with no signs of dying, nor any reaction to waking up.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Lan shook her head, and Fang Qingqing curled her lips.

"How's your question?"

Fang Qingqing said nothing and pointed at Liu Yue.

"Let's talk about it face to face, family."

Xiao Lan's words made Liu Yue stop crying immediately. She glanced at Xiao Lan, then turned back to look at Fang Qingqing.

Fang Qingqing was also straightforward and said, "The county government found several bodies by the stream on the mountain. They were the bodies of the robbers. The wounds on their bodies were exactly the same. It is said that these bodies are the robbers who killed Sun Shaohua and robbed Sun Jiye."

"He explained it in such detail?" Xiao Lan curled the corners of her mouth, the meaning of her smile unclear.

Fang Qingqing proudly shook her hair, then remembered that she had tied her hair into a bun. "You must be joking! Look who's doing this! If he doesn't tell me, I'll poke him in the face!"

Liu Yue didn't know who they were talking about, but she was wondering about the identity of the robber. Then she thought about what Xiao Lan had said before: Xiao Zongwen had teamed up with Liu Yu to kill her husband and kidnap her son. So, Xiao Lan's speculation was very likely true.

An unusual master appeared beside Liu Yu. This person used Liu Yu's identity to attack Liu Hu. Perhaps Liu Yu really didn't know that Liu Hu's life was hanging by a thread.

She turned to look at Xiao Lan, "Shall I ask Big Brother?"

"Everything is just our speculation. You can only test the waters. After all, if Liu Yu really wants to attack Liu Hu, none of us can stop him."

"What do you mean?"

Liu Yue was naive and didn't understand what Xiao Lan meant.

Xiao Lan had no choice but to speak frankly, "I suggest you use the excuse of looking for Liu Hu to see Liu Yu's reaction. See if he is truly unaware or if he did it on purpose."

"Then...then he must have known that I was here with you. After all, Xiao Xuan lives next to his father..." Liu Yue felt that she couldn't make up her lie.

"Just say that you thought Liu Hu would come looking for me when he came back, so you stayed here and waited. It would be best if you could show your disgust and dislike for me, but I don't know if you can act well." Xiao Lan looked at Liu Yue's blinking eyes, feeling a little worried from the bottom of her heart.

Liu Yue thought about it and nodded, "Yes! When is the right time to go?" Now she felt that Xiao Lan's arrangement was very appropriate. This way, she could not only find out the real intentions of her eldest brother, but perhaps also find the person who hurt her second brother.

"Anytime, but if you see that person, don't act rashly. Observe their expressions and reactions carefully, then come back and tell me. Then make your plans!"
