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

"Sir! The fire is so big, I'm afraid we need to evacuate the people around here immediately!"

Su Ze looked at the raging fire with a frown. Is this the reason why Xiao Lan asked him to hold Liu Yu back?

No, the burning of Miweixuan would not have any impact even if he didn't go to Liu Yu.

"Hurry up and knock on every door. Don't hurt the lives of the people!"

Su Ze hurriedly made arrangements, and Liu Yu led the city defense troops to join the firefighting. The yamen runners did not delay and carried buckets of water over.

However, the fire was so fierce that it was not extinguished until the second half of the night. Several of its shops were affected, including Fan Zhixing's house on the back street.

At that moment, Fan Zhixing was standing on the street, watching all his efforts go up in flames. Liu stood beside him, weeping uncontrollably, but Fan Zhixing simply stared at the flames, barely showing any expression.

Liu Yu glanced at Fan Zhixing and also saw Xiao Zongwen, who looked grim, and Xiao Xuan, who looked worried beside him. He didn't speak to them in public, but just said a few more words to Su Ze before returning to the barracks.

As soon as he entered the military camp, his personal guard came hurriedly to report.

Liu Hu is missing!

When Liu Yu approached the house, he saw several guards lying in a pool of blood. He then entered the house and found the women lying dead on the beds.

"What happened? Before leaving the house?"

The guard shook his head. "It was after you followed Lord Su out." He covered his arm. Liu Yu then realized that his arm was also injured. "Brother, he escaped on his own."

"Myself? How is that possible?" Liu Yu knew the effects of the divine incense, and those maids were no ordinary women either; they all had some skills. Liu Hu had been in this maze for days, so how could he just leave?

"Yes, he escaped on his own. Big Brother is a martial arts master, and we are no match for him."

Liu Yu listened carefully to what the guard said, wondering what had gone wrong. He was clearly unconscious when he saw him yesterday...

However, what Liu Yu can be sure of now is that as long as Liu Hu can get out, he will definitely go back to find Xiao Lan.

No matter what, I still have to go to Uncle Fan to take a look...

Liu Yu looked up at the sky. It was already bright. He was covered in smoke and dirt, so he decided to wash himself first.

The guard followed behind, "Do you need to go find your elder brother?"

"Looking for shit! You'll regret it only after you die at the hands of a woman!"

Liu Yu walked towards his room, but saw from afar that the door was ajar, and his heart tightened.

"Where's the person at my door?"

The guard hurriedly said, "Everyone is watching..."

Liu Yu kicked the door open with his foot, with the knife already drawn and in his hand, but he saw two guards lying by the door inside the room, and Liu Hu sitting at his desk, staring at him at the door.

"You didn't leave?" Liu Yu lowered the knife in his hand, but his eyes did not relax. He looked at Liu Hu suspiciously, and glanced at the brocade box on the bookshelf next to him.

"Where should I go? Where else can I go in this South City besides you?"

Liu Hu has been tortured by the magic incense these days and is in a terrible state. His beard has grown, his hair is messy, his eye sockets are sunken and there are black and blue under his eyes. He looks even more haggard than when he was seriously injured and lying in bed.

Liu Yu didn't say anything, stepped into the room, and looked around but didn't see anyone else.

"What? Big brother, you don't treat me as your own brother anymore?" Liu Hu's words were full of resentment. He almost died twice at the hands of Liu Yu, so how could he still treat Liu Yu the same way as before.

Liu Hu was a man of deep loyalty, and he had always cherished a brotherly bond with Liu Yu. While the previous incident had been an accident, this time it was Liu Yu's deliberate act, leaving him feeling deeply distressed. Even though he had come with the intention of gathering information, and had even considered that if there was any breaking news, he would risk his life to protect it, it now seemed that Liu Yu no longer held any brotherly feelings towards him.

"You didn't kidnap the coroner at the beginning, why did you lie to me!" Liu Yu frowned and looked unhappy.

"Yes, he wasn't kidnapped. It was Xiao Lan who saved me." Liu Hu said frankly.

"You came back just to help Xiao Lan get information, right? You don't care about Uncle Fan and Uncle Xiao? You don't recognize me as your biological brother?" Liu Yu stepped forward, extremely angry, picked up the knife and pointed it at Liu Hu.

The guard rushed forward upon seeing him. "Oh, it's my brother!" This guard's surname was Feng. They had been together since Liu Yu and Liu Hu joined the army. As Liu Yu rose through the ranks, he always kept him by his side. Only he dared to offer a word of advice during this confrontation between the brothers.

"Brother? Does he consider me his brother? He abandoned all my uncles and brothers for a woman!" Liu Yu couldn't help himself and thrust the knife against Liu Hu's neck again. The neck was also stubborn and refused to retreat, so he was stabbed and bled.

"Why would I not want it? I told you that woman didn't want me! She saved me, but she still despises me! I didn't say that because I was afraid you'd laugh at me!" Liu Hu's eyes were bloodshot, and Yin's were red. At this point, he grabbed the knife Liu Yu was pointing at him, "Mother forbids you to point a knife at me! You've forgotten everything!" Even so weak, he could still easily remove Liu Yu's knife. It was unclear whether he was truly as strong as an ox, or if Liu Yu's knife was simply weak.

"Don't mention my mother to me!" Liu Yu no longer looked at him, his tone full of resentment. He glanced at Guard Feng, who quickly picked up the knife on the ground and dragged the two guards who were knocked unconscious by Liu Hu out.

"You said you were leaving without telling me a word, but I followed you without hesitation! Just because you are my elder brother and I trust you, then how did you treat me? But you told me a single truth? You asked me to withdraw from the army, so I withdrew. You asked me to become a bandit, so I became one. What else can I do to let you down?" Liu Hu supported himself on the edge of the table with both hands and leaned over to look at him.

"..." Liu Yu was speechless, but he didn't look at Liu Hu. He had so many secrets in his heart that he didn't know where to start.

"Tell me? Why can't you mention mother? What did mother do to make you hate her so much? You don't even recognize your sister! You don't want anything anymore, and now you want to make me a cripple too?" Liu Hu roared, as if venting the frustration he had felt for the past few days.

Liu Yu's eyes turned red, and he finally sighed, "My father was killed by my mother herself!" His voice was soft when he said this, but it was deafening to Liu Hu's ears.

His throat felt like it was choked by something, and when he tried to speak, he could only utter broken, incoherent breaths. His body felt like it was struck by an invisible force, and he stumbled back a few steps involuntarily, his steps feeling as if he were stepping on cotton.

"How do you know...did you see it with your own eyes?" Liu Hu shook his head, but his eyes were fixed on Liu Yu, trying to find a flaw on his face.

"Uncle Fan told me. It was because of him that I was able to find my father's remains and take you to bury him."

"Why?" Liu Hu's voice trembled, and the veins on his forehead throbbed with excitement.

"Because Xiao Xuan was my father's child, my mother couldn't accept it after she found out, so she killed him!"

"Xiao Xuan is only two years younger than me..." Liu Hu couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment, "What about Liu Yue?"

"Liu Yue is not..."

"Liu Yue is not..."
