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

Fortunately, all these happened in the backyard. In the front yard, people only knew that Mr. Su had suddenly fallen ill and needed to call a doctor as soon as possible.

Mr. Su was now lying in bed. The doctor had given him an acupuncture injection and prescribed medicine. He simply said that this was probably a past injury and that he should not get angry again.

Su Ze has calmed down now. What he did just now in Pan Yingqiu's chaos was simply disgusting when he thought about it now.

Xiao Lan was outside the house. Since Master Su was not completely at peace yet, it was not convenient for her to leave.

Master Cui stood at the door, leaning against the long corridor, staring at Xiao Lan without hesitation. Seeing Master Cui being so rude, Jasmine frowned and said coldly, "Master Cui, why are you staring at our wife like that? This incident today was caused by your own family members. Don't try to blame our wife for it all."

"Who can a servant like me blame? I just think Madam Sun is very capable and can even come up with this kind of emergency solution." Master Cui raised the corners of his mouth, with a half-smile, and spoke in a very frivolous tone.

"My wife is a heroine and knows a lot. Please go in and invite Lord Su out. We are leaving now." It is rude to leave without saying goodbye, especially in front of the county magistrate and the elders. As someone who grew up in a wealthy family, he would not do that.

Jasmine was now the housekeeper, and she knew almost everything that went on in the courtyard. It was just that she sometimes wouldn't talk about it casually. Xiao Lan didn't treat her as an outsider, and when Liu Hu came to recuperate, she told Jasmine everything.

Jasmine only thought about how Liu Hu had been pestering Madam in the courtyard every day. When did this Lord Su become so desperate to marry her? She had never seen Lord Su and Madam have a close personal relationship.

Xiao Lan didn't know how she had to get to the point where she had to marry him. After all, she always felt that Su Ze was just a little interested in her, but judging from his serious look, he would not do such an impulsive thing.

"Madam Sun, our county magistrate is deeply in love with you, aren't you moved at all?" Master Cui ignored Jasmine and took a step forward to look at Xiao Lan.

Jasmine pushed him away, "How dare you!"

Xiao Lan then looked up at him. Master Cui's eyes were filled with frivolity and contempt, and Xiao Lan was slightly stunned. There was something different about Master Cui, but she couldn't put her finger on what. His eyes made Xiao Lan feel familiar, but there was no root cause. She had only seen this person around Su Ze before and now.

"Master Cui, you've lost your dignity. Even if Master Su takes a liking to you, you're still just a master." Xiao Lan gave him a cold look, then turned around and saw that no one in the room showed any signs of leaving. "Tell your master later that I'm leaving for the day."

Xiao Lan turned and walked away, while Jasmine followed him, rolling her eyes at Master Cui. Neither of them noticed the hatred that shone in Master Cui's eyes, but it vanished instantly when the door opened behind them.

"Xiao Lan..."

Su Ze spoke out loud and no longer hesitated to call Xiao Lan's name in front of outsiders. His shout was heard by Su's mother and Pan Yingqiu in the room. One lowered her eyes and sighed, while the other gritted her teeth.

Xiao Lan paused, but didn't turn back. She was also confused by his behavior. She had originally been stirring up trouble, but she didn't expect to be dragged into it herself.

Even when Jiye was kidnapped, Su Ze only said the right things to me. I thought he just had a good impression of me and kept a beautiful fantasy of ambiguous feelings. Now I have brought trouble upon myself.

However, Xiao Lan felt a secret joy in her heart, a joy so strong that she couldn't even face it openly in her heart.

Xiao Lan recalled that in college, she would always chase after Su Ze, shouting loudly. In the basketball court, the auditorium, the cafeteria, everyone said that she was a loser. But she never seemed to care. Su Ze's attitude of neither rejecting nor agreeing to her made Xiao Lan scratch her head anxiously every day. She never thought that maybe Su Ze didn't like her at all, but she always asked her bestie what she had to do to make Su Ze agree to her. It was this innate blind self-confidence that really made her chase Su Ze, who was the icing on the cake at the time.

It is said that it is easy for a woman to win over a man, and Xiao Lan moved Su Ze with her sincerity. However, many years later, Xiao Lan realized that it was her wealth that finally moved Su Ze.

"Xiao Lan..." Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Su Ze followed her and stood behind her, "What I just said..." Su Ze wanted to say that it was just an impulsive remark and not to take it to heart. He felt that this might ease the awkwardness between the two of them. He was worried that if he didn't say this, Xiao Lan would really never see him again in the future. But he also hoped that Xiao Lan could respond to what he just said, whether it was good or bad, to give an answer. Xiao Lan had always been ambiguous with him. She would be polite when she could be of use, and would turn around and leave when her temper got hot. This uncontrollable situation made him very anxious.

Cui Shiye had said many times that this was called exploitation, taking advantage of this ambiguous feeling that made him unable to stop wanting her. But even though he knew this, he sometimes wanted to ask himself, if he weren't the county magistrate, would Xiao Lan still bother with him and "use" him?

Jasmine knew it was inappropriate for her to stop them at this point; the Madam would make her own decision. She silently stepped back, giving the two of them some space to talk alone.

Xiao Lan took a deep breath and turned to look at him. "I know you just really don't like Pan Yingqiu and you were impulsive. But today's my fault too. Pan Yingqiu just said something casually yesterday, but I had to break it and make you laugh." Xiao Lan frankly admitted that she had deliberately said something too much, all because Su Ze looked at her with such affection. She got carried away, acted impulsively, and didn't repent...

Xiao Lan's mother once advised Xiao Lan, "Xiao Lan, your father and I both know that you're pursuing Su Ze. He's good-looking and acts sensible in front of us. Just having a relationship is fine, but if you want to get married, you have to think it through. He might not really like you, but is just being overly enthusiastic or generous. If there are any conflicts in the future, the one who is truly giving will suffer."

Xiao Lan didn't believe it at the time. She thought that since Su Ze had agreed to be with her, even if he didn't like her before, he must have feelings for her now.

After she persuaded her father and mother, she finally married Su Ze after crying her heart out, and she had a brief period of happiness in the future.

Su Ze had just joined the company and was full of the usual complaints of a new employee. Every time he ate, he'd tell Xiao Lan about his day's troubles, how someone had been nice to him, or how someone had deliberately embarrassed him. He didn't care, saying he was determined to work hard for their future happiness. Xiao Lan couldn't wait to record Su Ze's handsome face every day and send it to her parents to show them how innocent and adorable the man she had found was.

However, Xiao Lan wouldn't let anyone bully her beloved. After Su Ze mentioned these relationships, she would usually work behind the scenes. Those who treated Su Ze well would suddenly receive great opportunities, while those who deliberately embarrassed him would be punished by their superiors, including their own superiors. Gradually, Su Ze's career at the company became smooth and he felt happy. When he returned, he would treat Xiao Lan with the utmost care and concern.

The way Su Ze looks at her now is just like her ex-husband who was young and dependent on her in everything, his eyes full of expectations for her.

Su Ze understood Xiao Lan's meaning: she was trying to save face, telling him not to embarrass himself. But it was also a subtle rejection of what he had just said, pushing the distance between them. He felt a little lost, his eyes drooping, but he still looked at her, reluctant to let go, but also knowing he couldn't force it.

"I don't blame you. It's... I didn't handle my own family affairs properly." His voice had always been low, always making everyone tremble in the courtroom, but now, when he spoke so gently, Xiao Lan couldn't help but feel a tingling sensation. This Su Ze's voice was also very different from her ex-husband's.

"Then... another day..." Xiao Lan wanted to say that she would visit again another day, but before she could finish her words, a servant came running over.

"A letter from Captain Xue."
