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

Xiao Lan was also stunned by Su Ze's word "afraid" and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What do you mean?"

Xiao Lan's current mood is like the feeling of a dog that has been promoted instantly. Before, her ex-husband was indifferent, but Lord Su here has already fallen for her.

Even after hearing such overwhelming words, Su Ze's expression remained unchanged. His eyes seemed genuinely calm, and he pursed his lips slightly, "I'm worried that gossip will hurt you more, but there are some things I still hope to remind you of."

Su Ze's superficial and stubborn look really made Xiao Lan laugh uncontrollably in her heart, but like Su Ze, she did not show it too much on her face.

"Ever since I was preparing to escape from the Sun family, I have been surrounded by gossip. Now I am living a good life, don't worry." Xiao Lan wanted to say that Liu Hu's injury was the same as the one found by the government office, but she couldn't betray Xu Yi, so she held back.

Fortunately, Su Ze asked himself, "When Liu Hu left that day, didn't you already stop trusting him? Why are you still willing to save him now..."

Xiao Lan thought for a moment before saying, "Well, he was injured because of me... I would feel bad if I didn't save him."

"What for you?" Su Ze asked.

Xiao Lan didn't want to explain it so clearly. "He went to Liu Yu and asked them to let me go, but he didn't expect to be hurt by someone close to him. But that person wasn't Liu Yu's man. Maybe it was the person you guessed."

"Lin Rui?"

Su Ze looked at her, full of questions, wondering if she knew anything else.

"Well, maybe. I sent Elder Yu to follow them, but he was discovered. It shows that these people's martial arts are difficult to get close to. So if you want to investigate, you still have to be careful."

"Why didn't you tell me before?" Su Ze's tone suddenly turned bad. If he hadn't asked, Xiao Lan wouldn't have spoken up. So was she defending Liu Hu or Lin Rui? But no matter who she defended, Xiao Lan was the only one in danger. Could it be that Xiao Lan was deeply in love with Liu Hu? Or maybe... Lin Rui.

But regardless of all this, he began to worry about Xue Wu, whom he had sent to Xiangquan Town.

"They left. Didn't they say they would come back in a month? I'll see what medicine he bought. I'll take this opportunity to protect my house."

Su Ze looked at the indifference in Xiao Lan's eyes, not knowing if it was genuine or fake. She was telling a story, as if life and death had nothing to do with her. But if Xiao Lan had seen those bodies riddled with blood, would she still be so confident that she could protect herself?

Xiao Lan wasn't sure. Right now, she only had Elder Yu and a few seasoned servants by her side. If someone else had used force, they'd probably have killed everyone in the house. But Xiao Lan was certain these people weren't out to kill her; they had deeper motives. Were they after the Xiao family fortune, or something else? She was used to hiding her anxiety, hiding it so deeply that it seemed like these terrifying things weren't so terrifying.

"How can you protect yourself? Rely on Liu Hu?" Su Ze's voice turned cold, and his eyes flashed with disdain.

"What's the use of relying on him? Didn't he almost die?" Xiao Lan shook her head. She lowered her eyes, thinking about something, and didn't notice that Su Ze's eyes softened because of her words.

"There's a house not far from the county government office. It's smaller than this one, but more refined. It should be big enough for you guys to live in. Do you want to go take a look?"

When Su Ze learned that Xiao Lan was looking for a house, he also toured the city, looking at houses of all sizes. Finally, he mentally selected a small courtyard not far from the county government office. It wasn't small, with three entrances and exits, but because it was built next to a house, it was squeezed in, making it smaller overall.

"What do you mean again? You protect me?"

Xiao Lan was very interested in teasing Su Ze, who looked like her ex-husband.

Su Ze could see the teasing in Xiao Lan's eyes, and he replied seriously, "We should take care of each other."

"If an orphan and a widow were to move in next to you, I'm afraid your cousin, who's planning a marriage with you, would have a lot to think about. Besides, we're friends, and since we live so close, we talk a lot. Then the gossip would..."

“Eat wontons!”

Before Xiao Lan could finish her words, a man walked in with a bowl of wontons. His footsteps were so brisk that he didn't seem to be delivering wontons, but rather coming to fight.

Liu Hu placed the bowl beside Xiao Lan with a bang and pushed the teacup beside her away.

"Eat it while it's hot. I've been to several places and they say this one is the best!"

Xiao Lan looked at the wontons, wondering why she'd bought them, and glanced at Liu Hu, puzzled. This was her first time seeing Liu Hu in ten days, and she felt that he was, as the servants had said, capable of fighting against Old Yu. Old Yu even broke down his moves one by one and taught them to the servants, saying there was something to learn from Liu Hu's techniques.

“I’ve eaten…”

"Didn't you say you wanted to eat?" Liu Hu looked at her, as nonchalant as before. She leaned sideways with her big feet on the chair, looking unsettled.

Xiao Lan glanced at Su Ze. Su Ze's face was extremely ugly. This scene...

Xiao Lan felt a little helpless, thinking that those beauties who had a group of lapdogs were not necessarily having an easy life.

"Stop talking about this nonsense. Now that you've recovered from your injuries, why don't you bring Liu Yue back?"

Liu Yue had been with Liu Yu for several days, and there had been no news. Xiao Xuan hadn't come to ask, and Xiao Lan wondered if they had gotten in touch; they were all "family," after all. Uncle Xiao Zongwen, Xiao Xuan, Liu Yue, Liu Hu, Liu Yu—the whole family, and Fan Zhixing.

"Liu Yue was sent back to Beidu." This was the news Liu Hu learned right after he left. He had just left and went to Miweixuan to find Fan Zhixing, who told him. The reason he didn't go directly to Liu Yu was because it was a bit far. He was worried that Su Ze would come to find Xiao Lan, so he asked a few questions and then bought some wontons and came back.

Fan Zhixing was surprised that he was still alive, because Liu Yu had said that Liu Hu's life or death was unknown. Liu Yue had not told Liu Yu the truth until he left, so everyone thought he was dead.

Liu Hu was curious why Liu Yue, who used to call him a "fox spirit" in his ear every day, actually listened to Xiao Lan and hid everything.

However, Liu Hu also agreed with Liu Yu's decision to send Liu Yue away. After all, being here, getting involved in all sorts of messy things would only make things more troublesome. He could just go back early to be with his mother. Life in the mountains was leisurely and simple, perfect for the simple-minded Liu Yue.

But for Liu Hu, the most fortunate thing now is that he rushed back. Otherwise, if Su Ze said nonsense about what he said in the morning in front of Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan might turn against him again.

Ever since I showed that I really wouldn't hurt her, she stopped coaxing me and even stopped calling me "knight"!
