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

"Are you alright, Lord Su?" The city guard asked Su Ze politely. Although they were under Liu Yu's jurisdiction, they still had to give Su Ze face.

Su Ze nodded in return, "Please help take care of them so that they don't make trouble again."

The two defenders responded, and the surroundings finally became more peaceful.

Xiao Lan waved her hand, signaling Xiao Xuan not to wipe it with a handkerchief, as it made her nervous.

"Stop it, just go home and apply some medicine to your hand. It hurts so much!"

She complained, and it really was so painful that her voice began to tremble and she even felt a little dizzy.

The wound felt like it was rubbed with salt, and it became more and more painful.

She watched Xiao Zongshan talk about the solution from afar, and was calling him a "swindler" in her heart for not even giving any compensation, but she didn't expect someone to start making a fuss.

Who knew that the commotion would get bigger and bigger? Fortunately, Su Ze was decisive and sent the yamen runners to carry the troublemaker away. He's mother was also taken to the yamen.

"Master Xiao is raising funds to repair the city wall for the benefit of the people of the city. This is definitely a good deed! But the accident has already happened, and we will not ignore the injured. Please do not cause trouble here. If you have any questions, you can return to the government office to discuss it."

Su Ze didn't want these people to stir up trouble for the people around him, as it would only make things worse. Although Su Ze also felt that Xiao Zongshan's approach was inappropriate, he still needed to discuss the specifics with Xiao Zongshan. If necessary, the government would not refuse to pay.

When those people saw that Triangle Eyes had been taken away, they only knew how to say a few words, but they didn't know how much to ask for. If they asked for less, they were afraid of being at a disadvantage; if they asked for more, they were afraid of being rejected. Moreover, seeing that the two city guards were holding swords and wearing military armor, they looked much more terrifying than the yamen runners, so their previous momentum gradually faded.

"It must be the officials and businessmen protecting each other, colluding with each other." But at this moment, this sentence was heard from somewhere in the crowd. The common people were happy to watch the excitement. They were not that close to the defenders, so they did not feel oppressed. Moreover, the north of the city was mostly where the craftsmen worked, so they felt a sense of sympathy and joined in the discussion. The situation, which had finally calmed down, was in chaos again!

Su Ze heard that besides He's mother, there seemed to be a lot of people who had arranged to cause trouble today. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw that one of the people who had been staring at Xiao Lan was right there.

Xiao Zongshan hurriedly called foreman Li to coax the family members away and not cause trouble here. He then stepped forward and said to Su Ze, "Sir, don't get entangled with these troublemakers. It's better to return to the government office first. This is just an accident. I will definitely handle it well and don't let you worry."

"The two people who told the truth were arrested by the government. Are they going back to the government office to discuss how to deal with us?"

"Officials and businessmen are protecting each other! They are in cahoots with each other! They don't care about our lives!"

Someone in the crowd started shouting slogans, and the dozen or so craftsmen and their twenty or so family members instantly became agitated. There were only three or five yamen runners watching, and the two defenders were outnumbered. Even though they had drawn their swords, the people were so restless today that they couldn't stop them.

Suddenly, people came from nowhere and even pushed away the real family members and went straight to the Xiao family.

The soldiers guarding the city and the yamen runners did not dare to actually hurt the civilians and could only use their swords to stop them, but they were soon pushed back by the crowd.

Foreman Li was still in the front trying to stop everyone to protect Xiao Zongshan. Even Xiao Zongshan's driver didn't know where to come out to protect him.

Xiao Lan and Xiao Xuan, who were left unattended, became targets of others.

When Su Ze saw that something was not right, he no longer cared about the public watching. He drew the sword of the yamen runner beside him and turned to go to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan saw someone rushing towards her, and knew she was in big trouble. She hurriedly pulled Xiao Xuan and ran. Xiao Xuan didn't hesitate and ran after Xiao Lan. However, after running for only two steps, he felt that the person behind him had stopped chasing him.

Turning around, Su Ze had already drawn his sword to separate Xiao Lan and Xiao Xuan from those people.

"Don't make trouble!" he shouted sternly.

The leader raised his hands and said nonchalantly, "We are just asking the Xiao family for a reasonable explanation!"

"Reasonable explanation? I don't think you're here to ask for an explanation!" Su Ze turned the blade and pointed it directly at the leader, who was one of the people who had stared at Xiao Lan just now.

"I'm the elder brother of the man with the forehead injury just now. He was taken away by you while injured. I'm worried about him. I want to ask the wife of the Xiao family how to compensate him!"

Su Ze took a step forward, the back of the knife against the man's neck, his brows raised slightly, his eyes cold, "I have said that I will discuss it with the Xiao family. If you can't wait, you can go to the yamen gate and wait!"

The man sensed Su Ze's hidden murderous intent, silently took a step back, and tilted his head to avoid the sharp edge on his neck.

"Okay... We believe in Master Su..."

After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Lan behind Su Ze and curled his lips. At this time, the two city guards also followed.

The man hurriedly raised his hands again and said, "I'm leaving... I'll follow Lord Su's arrangements and wait for Lord Su's news." After saying that, he left without any reluctance.

Xiao Lan looked at the man's smile and felt strange. Why was he laughing at her? What was so funny? The situation just now was really terrifying. The person who rushed over didn't seem to be asking for money, but to take his life.

She took a breath and noticed that the wound on her neck suddenly didn't hurt anymore. She turned to Xiao Xuan in surprise and said, "It doesn't seem to hurt anymore."

Xiao Xuan looked at Su Ze's back and then turned back to look at Xiao Lan, nodding perfunctorily, "It's good that it doesn't hurt."

Su Ze saw people retreating and saw that there were still many people surrounding Xiao Zongshan, but several yamen runners were among them, so Su Ze was not so worried.

He ignored the two city defenders beside him, and let his knife-holding hand hang at his side. He took a step forward to take a closer look. He really couldn't bear the worry in his heart. "Are you okay?" His voice softened and sounded deeper.

Xiao Lan looked up at him. Why did her heart race and her breath become short when she saw Su Ze today? Just now, when he held his sword in front of her, he even looked like a god from a book about cultivating immortality. His aura was so ethereal that she couldn't even make out his figure, as if it was shimmering with golden light...

Xiao Lan adjusted her breathing, her eyes fixed on Su Ze, but she instinctively reached out to grab Xiao Xuan beside her. She felt the wound on her neck burning again, and the scene before her eyes became increasingly blurry...

Xiao Lan finally felt relieved. It seemed that it wasn't that Su Ze was too handsome, but that she was about to faint...

"Xiao Lan!" Su Ze and Xiao Xuan exclaimed at the same time. With a clink, the official sword fell to the ground and Xiao Lan fell into Su Ze's arms.

The other side was in chaos in an instant!

"Master! Master! Find a doctor!" The groom covered Xiao Zongshan's bleeding wound on his abdomen with one hand, and looked around in panic, hoping that someone could help him find a doctor.

The people who were gathered around suddenly dispersed, leaving only a few yamen runners and Foreman Li. All the people who were there were gone.

A bailiff ran out in a hurry to find a doctor...

Master Cui appeared from somewhere, looking around cautiously, not daring to look at one place for too long, for fear of missing any dangerous signals.

Xiao Zongshan just stared blankly at the white clouds floating in the sky. One of them was drifting farther and farther away. He also looked at the cloud, which was getting farther and farther away...
