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

Xiao Lan hadn't expected someone to be so blunt. She was overwhelmed, and suddenly felt like she was no match for Magistrate Su. Even her own vindictive nature couldn't withstand this man's honesty and sincerity.

"..." She didn't know what to say and could only remain speechless. She once again felt that she was always a waste in front of Su Ze. No matter before or now, this person always had tricks that she could not deal with.

"Go away..." Xiao Lan pointed outside the door.

"Okay..." Although Su Ze didn't understand, he still nodded, "I'll listen to you."

After saying that, Su Ze glanced at Liu Hu, and although he was reluctant, he still said sullenly, "If you were here, I'd trouble you to take care of me!"

Liu Hu couldn't help but ask, "What is it that you want me to take care of? You tell me!"

Su Ze turned and left, and Master Cui hurriedly followed behind him.

"Sir, are you just leaving like that?" Master Cui was puzzled. "She was clearly already distracted by you. Aren't you afraid that she'll take advantage of you by leaving her to Liu Hu?"

"He won't, and she won't either!" Su Ze's voice was clear but certain. When he walked out the door, he happened to see Fang Qingqing and a few girls.

"Miss Qing!" Su Ze took the initiative to greet her.

Fang Qingqing was slightly stunned. She still felt a little uncomfortable with the identical appearance.

"Master Su, what are your instructions?"

"I'll beg you to ask Xu Yi to come and see your wife again later. The scar on her neck is still there, and I'm afraid the poison hasn't cleared away yet. Please keep an eye on her. I'll be investigating the riot and the fire these days, so I'm afraid I'll be neglecting your wife. Thank you for your hard work."

Su Ze spoke as if he were the head of the family. Fang Qingqing could only nod blankly. However, Jasmine replied, "Thank you, Master Su. Our wife will definitely take good care of her. Master Su has important matters to attend to, so there's no need to worry."

Jasmine's words made Fang Qingqing look back at her, wanting only to give her a thumbs up. Su Ze, however, remained calm, "Your wife is my sweetheart, so it's only natural that I should take the trouble. Thank you for your hard work, goodbye."

At this moment, Fang Qingqing just wanted to applaud. This extreme confrontation was very interesting.

Seeing Su Ze walking away, Fang Qingqing turned to look at Jasmine, "Why? Why do I feel that you have a bad attitude towards Su Ze...Master Su?"

Fang Qingqing has now accepted that Su Ze is not her ex-husband. Moreover, she saw the worry and affection in Su Ze's eyes when Xiao Lan was poisoned all night. So she can now remain neutral towards this Lord Su.

"He...what can a servant like me say?" Jasmine said disdainfully, turning around to leave.

Fang Qingqing hurriedly followed, "Tell me!"

"He seems to be very sincere and affectionate, but he has never gotten Madam's permission. Madam has not agreed either, but he left the yard early in the morning without caring about Madam's reputation. Today, Madam Su even came to visit. What will others say about Madam? Is this widow trying to marry someone else?" Jasmine said angrily.

In Jasmine's heart, she believed that only her own well-being was truly good. However, because Xiao Lan was also truly kind to her, she had to think twice about her. However, due to her status, she was powerless to intervene in the affairs between her master and mistress, and could only rely on the mistress's favor to complain.

"Moli, you're truly a heroine. I'll definitely tell my wife what you said..." Fang Qingqing thought about how she had previously wanted to help Xiao Lan gain a foothold in the Sun family, but in the end, it was Xiao Lan who saved her. In short, she was completely worthless, yet she was so content with her current situation, not even thinking about changing anything.

"Don't talk about it. You're close to Madam, so try to persuade her. Madam is in this situation, and it's easy for her to be deceived. She'll think anyone who can help her is a lifeline, but don't let her be deceived." Jasmine said, turning to look at Fang Qingqing. She was now the head of the household, with a multitude of issues to attend to, and she had no time to care for Xiao Lan. Yet, this young woman with such a simple background, always stayed by Xiao Lan's side with an innocent look on her face, like a carefree child.

Fang Qingqing didn't know whether she understood or not, so she just nodded. This made Jasmine feel annoyed, so she turned around and left without paying any more attention to him.

Master Cui followed Su Ze and strode out the door. He couldn't help but ask, "Sir, you actually left Madam Sun with Liu Hu?"

"Um……"

"Why?" Master Cui asked.

"Isn't it good? I admitted my mistake and trusted her frankly. This should be a good decision. Should I really vent my anger on her, or make unnecessary entanglements in the awkward situation of those three people?" Su Ze turned to look at Master Cui. He spoke very frankly, but there was a deeper doubt in his eyes.

He had also noticed Xiao Lan's questioning of Master Cui. This showed that Master Cui was also hiding something from Xiao Lan. But it had to be said that Master Cui, like Xiao Lan, could say things that were difficult to understand. Xiao Lan had clearly doubted Master Cui's answer, but she hadn't exposed it publicly. He also pretended not to notice and went along with it.

Asking Xiao Lan to expose the true face of Mr. Cui might be more appropriate than blindly guessing on his own. He was willing to trust Xiao Lan, and also willing to trust his own feelings and the facts he had witnessed.

What he was certain of now was that Xiao Lan had some hesitations about him, but he hoped she didn't have the same hesitations about Liu Hu. Cui's identity had already become a target of Xiao Lan's suspicion, and he only needed to wait and see what happened. Xiao Lan would definitely get to the bottom of it.

Master Cui looked at Su Ze's back and followed him slowly. He felt that Su Ze had something that he could not reach.

"Your Excellency is truly resourceful. I didn't expect you to be so accomplished in treating women."

Su Ze was not satisfied with what Master Cui said, but he did not show it. "I heard that Constable Zhao found the beggar who set the fire."

"Yes, we caught a little beggar. It turned out to be the beggar who went to He's mother to frame Madam Sun. Wasn't that man Fan Zhixing's man? How could he burn down his own master's shop?"

When Master Cui thought of this, he felt confused. Could it be that Constable Zhao had arrested the wrong person?

"That means there's a huge conspiracy!"

Xiao Lan's courtyard was only two blocks from the county government office, so the walk was quick. The morning streets were mostly filled with people going to and fro, all in a hurry. Su Ze, walking among them, stood out, both in his figure and appearance. Everyone recognized him and bowed respectfully, and the constant flow of greetings made Su Ze very tired.

The little beggar was locked up in a cell at the county government office, and he was still sleeping when they went in. Xue Wu followed Su Ze, carrying a bucket of cold water and about to pour it over him.

Su Ze stretched out his hand to stop him, "If you wake up, tell me, so you don't have to suffer any physical pain."

The little beggar really opened his eyes slowly, "Sir, I'm awake!"

"You were the one who reported the fire yourself, so why did you burn Miweixuan? Doesn't the owner of this restaurant often eat with you?" The person asking the question was Xue Wu, while Su Ze stood aside and watched.

"I just lost my temper for a moment and didn't really mean to burn it. I just wanted to keep warm in their yard, but I didn't expect to set the house on fire with the thatch." The little beggar looked up at Xue Wu, his small eyes on his dirty face sparkling with brilliance.

"Oh? Where did you order it?" Su Ze suddenly spoke, his voice was not loud but full of majesty.

"In that..." The little beggar hesitated, "in that kitchen."

Xue Wu poured a bucket of cold water on the little beggar without hesitation, "The fire started in the chicken coop in the backyard, not in the kitchen. It was kerosene, not straw, thatch that fueled the fire. Do you think the fire master is a vegetarian? Tell the truth!"
