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

"Uncle Fan said that they were in love and there was no force..." Liu Hu explained this way, but he had no confidence and even he himself did not believe it.

It's not like he hadn't seen the men and women who were kidnapped and taken to the mountains, but those were memories from his childhood, so he wasn't very clear. His mother tried her best to prevent them from seeing things they shouldn't, but sometimes they would stumble upon them, and this often led to arguments with his father. She said they should cultivate virtue for their children and avoid cruel acts of killing. She also established a rule in the village: anyone who committed murder outside of the village was not allowed to bring anyone else back.

He had heard miserable noises at night and seen white bones behind the mountain. Liu Yu would proudly say that he was not afraid of anything, and Liu Hu would also force himself to say, "I'm not afraid either." In the end, after seeing so much, he was really not afraid anymore.

Xiao Lan suddenly understood something. She looked at Liu Hu with an embarrassed and hesitant look.

"Perhaps I have something to tell you, too. You might be able to bear it?"

"How can a man be defeated by a few words from you? Isn't it a joke!" Liu Hu curled the corners of his mouth, but his expression became even uglier.

"Fang Feiyan escaped from the Xiao family and went north with Xiao Zongwen and Fan Zhixing. The Xiao family was just a merchant family, and no one could chase them so far. It was the Xiao family's second wife, my second grandmother, who spent several hundred taels of silver to ask the bandits from the north to get rid of them." Xiao Lan watched as Liu Hu's expression became increasingly stiff, and his hands on the table clenched into fists.

"What do you mean..." Liu Hu seemed not to understand what Xiao Lan said, but Xiao Lan knew that he had understood.

She placed her cold hand on the warm one, which was trembling slightly from being clenched together. This time, she just wanted to comfort him. "Listen to my mother, although Fang Feiyan is stunningly beautiful and has stunned the South City, she is actually an honest woman. She doesn't have any tricks to deceive people, so even though she gave birth to a son in the Xiao family, she was still bullied by the Second Grandmother."

Liu Hu lowered his eyes and looked blankly at Xiao Lan's hand. "You said she was honest, what does this have to do with it..."

"Well, I'm just telling you that the Xiao family hired your father to kill the orphan and the widow. If they are caught, they will just accept their fate and won't try to seduce your father. So based on this speculation, ninety-nine percent... no, ninety-nine out of ten times there is no hero saving the damsel in distress, and it's just..." Fang Qingqing looked at Liu Hu with cautious eyes, but still spoke bluntly.

"Fang Feiyan must have compromised for the sake of the two children and gave birth to Xiao Xuan. Xiao Xuan said that his father and grandmother never treated him well. And if they really loved each other, why did your father never appear in front of Xiao Xuan?" Xiao Xuan also told Xiao Lan some things about his childhood and knew nothing about Liu Hu's father.

"So, how could Fan Zhixing and Xiao Zongwen be sincere to you? Your father forced their mother to submit. He was the bandit sent by the Xiao family to wipe out the roots!" Fang Qingqing also stretched out a hand and placed it on Liu Hu's forearm to comfort him.

Anger was surging in the depths of Liu Hu's eyes. He suddenly stood up and strode out of the yard.

Fang Qingqing jumped up in shock and ran out, "Don't be impulsive!"

Xiao Lan was also afraid that he would do something impulsive, so she hurried to catch up, "Come back!"

Liu Hu rushed out without stopping. He now felt that he and Liu Yu were a pair of fools. They had been completely manipulated by Fan Zhixing and Xiao Zongwen. If that was the case, then his father might not have been killed by his mother at all, and Liu Yue must be his biological sister! Everything was just a lie from Fan Zhixing, in order to avenge his father. Not only did he want his father's life, but he also wanted his two sons to be used for his own purposes!

"If you dare to leave, you are not allowed to come back!" Xiao Lan couldn't catch up with him. Fang Qingqing ran faster, but was thrown aside by Liu Hu with a wave of his hand. Fortunately, she was not injured.

"Boss Xiao, he's going berserk!" Fang Qingqing shouted anxiously, "Mr. Yu! Mr. Yu!"

The house was small, and anyone could hear the noise. Li Si came first, followed by Qian Jiu, and several servants were unable to stop Liu Hu until Elder Yu arrived.

Liu Hu just wanted to get out, but being stopped made him even more anxious, and he struggled harder to break free. Old Yu had a kung fu skill, blocking his way without getting hurt, which made Liu Hu furious and yelled, "Old Yu! Can you..."

Seeing that there was no one around, Qian Jiu hurried forward and pressed down on his shoulders, but he was no match for his strength and was pushed out by him.

Qian Jiu's legs were weak, and he was pushed back several steps and ran straight into Xiao Lan. Xiao Lan couldn't withstand such a collision, and stumbled and fell on the stone table behind him, hitting his side and choking with pain.

Qian Jiu was panicked, but he couldn't be rude to help her. Instead, Fang Qingqing, who was chirping nearby, ran over and helped Xiao Lan up.

"Old Yu, you..." Liu Hu wanted to struggle, but when he turned around, he saw Xiao Lan holding her side waist, leaning on Fang Qingqing with a look of pain on her face. He suddenly came to his senses.

Seeing that he no longer rushed out, Mr. Yu knew that he would definitely not hurt Xiao Lan, so he did not go forward to intervene.

"I'm sorry, Madam. I didn't mean to... I didn't see it!" Qian Jiu lowered his head and looked at his legs, his heart furious! He couldn't help but curse at Liu Hu, "Madam saved your life, how can you not be grateful and instead cause trouble!"

No one in the yard knew Liu Hu's previous identity, not even Old Yu.

Liu Hu didn't say a word when he was scolded. Seeing Xiao Lan just lowering her head and covering her painful area, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Fang Qingqing struggling to support her, he reached out to help, but was pushed away by Fang Qingqing.

"How annoying! How could you be like this!"

After saying that, Fang Qingqing supported Xiao Lan and walked into the house. Xiao Lan leaned on Fang Qingqing and walked in without saying a word.

This time it was Liu Hubaba's turn to follow, but he didn't go out either.

"Let me see..." he asked softly, but Xiao Lan ignored him.

Fang Qingqing helped Xiao Lan to lean on the couch, "I'll go find Xiaoyi to check on you, don't hurt any bones!"

Xiao Lan shook her head. "It's okay. Just apply some bruise medicine on it and it should be fine."

"Okay!" Fang Qingqing turned around and ran. Jasmine and Haitang also came to the room after hearing the news.

He rolled his eyes at Liu Hu, who stood there blankly, at a loss, like a child who had made a mistake.

Jasmine and Haitang could only come to express their condolences, and when they saw that nothing serious was happening, they followed Xiao Lan's instructions and left.

Finally, when everyone had left, Liu Hu turned around to close the door, walked over to Xiao Lan and sat down.

"Let me see..." He took Xiao Lan's hand away from her waist and pressed it gently, "Does it hurt?"

"What were you trying to do just now?" Xiao Lan slapped his hand away, thinking that this man was a fool!

"I'll go tell my brother!" Liu Hu put his hand on it again and rubbed it slowly. "Is this it?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be? Your brother is so smart, and now he's the garrison commander of South City. Why can't he investigate everything himself? How do you know your brother really trusts them?" Xiao Lan couldn't push away the huge hand, feeling irritated. "You're so strong! It hurts!"

Xiao Lan just thought that Liu Yu was different from Liu Hu. He would not just listen to Fan Zhixing and the others' one-sided words.

Even if I believed it when I was young, I would look back and think about it now.

"Then I'll be gentle..." Liu Hu loosened his grip again, "Don't push me, if you push me, won't I be pushing harder?"

Xiao Lan rolled her eyes at him, "Are you still blaming me?"

"I know. I was impulsive. My brother..." Liu Hu wanted to say that Liu Yu didn't know the truth and was lying to him, but then he realized that he really wasn't that trustworthy with Liu Yu. Furthermore, Liu Yu never gave reasons for his actions, including those he had robbed before. He had killed all the honest officials, but he never explained why.

"Perhaps you are right..."

Xiao Lan saw Liu Hu deflated, staring only at the hands slowly rubbing her body. Suddenly, she felt sorry for this man. He had been nearly killed twice by his own brother, and now his own father didn't seem like a good man either... The person who kept calling him "uncle" was just trying to use her.

"I'll call Magistrate Su over later, and we'll sort things out. Maybe we can figure it out! Don't be impulsive anymore."

"Don't call him over. Why does he keep coming to you?" Liu Hu was so excited that he didn't control the strength of his hands. Xiao Lan grimaced when he pressed her. He quickly loosened his grip and apologized, "I'll be gentler..."

"You really are..." Xiao Lan wanted to curse, but seeing that big man was like a young wife who had made a mistake, he glanced at her cautiously, "Hey..."
