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

"A Family of Love and Devotion..." Master Cui looked up at the plaque and couldn't help but smile. "I'm afraid this was written by Miss Qing."

Su Ze turned around and looked at him, hiding what he was thinking.

Xue Wu asked without hesitation, "Do you know Miss Qing so well? I'm afraid you're trying to snatch her away from Coroner Xu."

Master Cui snorted disdainfully, "I don't like her!"

"Then who do you like?" Xue Wu asked.

"I look down on no one." After saying that, Master Cui followed Su Ze inside, and Xue Wu followed without caring.

The lanterns in the courtyard were already hung high, and the lights in the main hall were on brightly, so the scene inside the house could be seen from afar.

Xiao Lan and Fang Qingqing were sitting at the round table peeling oranges and chatting, while Liu Hu stood aside, watching Sun Jiye and Xin'er practicing kung fu in the empty space in front of the round table.

He would give Xin'er a thumbs up from time to time, and pat her on the face if she managed to stand firm while doing some kicking movements, as a token of encouragement. But he would seriously point out Sun Jiye's shortcomings, so Sun Jiye was sweating profusely while Xin'er was jumping around in sweat.

"They really love each other..." Master Cui murmured, glancing at Su Ze, "This is such a happy occasion. Master Su is really too generous."

"How can Lord Su be like this scoundrel, doing nothing every day just to fool people?" Xue Wu's tone was not very good. Although he knew that there was no possibility between him and Xiao Lan, he also felt that Liu Hu was not worthy of Xiao Lan.

"We'll always find time to squeeze in. After bringing the He family's son back that day, we should come here directly!"

"That's right, just tell Madam Sun..."

Su Ze listened to the two of them whispering behind him, still silent, and was led into the main hall by the servants.

"Madam, Lord Su is here!"

"Greetings, Lord Su!" Fang Qingqing and Xiao Lan naturally had to bow.

Liu Hu touched Jiye's head and looked at Su Ze with a provocative look, "Jiye, Xin'er, quickly pay your respects to Lord Su."

"Hello, Lord Su!" The two children saluted respectfully and listened to Liu Hu's words very much.

The servant called Mother Xu to take the two children away, and then two maids brought three cups of tea, and everyone sat down around the round table.

Liu Hu naturally sat next to Xiao Lan, and on Xiao Lan's other side was Fang Qingqing. Opposite them was Su Ze, while Master Cui and Xue Wu stood behind him, like two guards, full of imposing manner.

"Lord Su, if you don't mind, please ask these two to sit down as well. It's a bit uncomfortable to stand like this..." Xiao Lan said politely.

Ever since Su Ze explained everything to Xiao Lan last time, the two have not met each other.

Su Ze was busy with official duties, one thing after another. Although there was an accident on the north city wall, it still had to be completed, so the government office was temporarily in charge of the work, with Constable Zhao as the supervisor and the workers still provided by the Xiao family.

Then there was the matter of Miweixuan. The restaurant burned down, and several surrounding shops were also affected. The government had to help settle the compensation issue, otherwise everyone would raise the price and act helplessly. In short, it was a headache.

Besides, the He family member had already been found, half buried in the earth, his tongue cut out, and left unattended. Xue Wu brought him back, and Xu Yi worked all night to save his life. But he couldn't read or write, and without a tongue, he couldn't speak clearly, only babbling and crying.

Xiao Lan was now forced to do so. If it weren't for Su Ze, with what she knew and what that fool Liu Hu knew, they would never be able to put together a single page of paper.

Su Ze raised his hand and waved, and Master Cui and Xue Wu sat down beside him. This made it seem more like two sides were negotiating, and the atmosphere seemed a little tense.

"Well, I just spoke to Liu Hu, and he's willing to share everything he knows, so we can all understand the current situation. I'm wondering if Lord Su could share what he's learned?" Xiao Lan said politely, but she could clearly sense that his mood was off. From the moment he entered the room, his eyes had been fixed on her like knives.

"No." Su Ze said lightly, which instantly made Liu Hu furious.

"I think you're used to being so arrogant." Liu Hu slammed the table and stood up, wanting to kick Su Ze out right then and there. He just couldn't stand this man's air of superiority. He was just a small county magistrate, and he dared to be so arrogant in front of him? He wouldn't mind having one or two more lives of imperial officials in his hands!

Su Ze did not move, but Xue Wu had already drawn his sword when Liu Hu slammed the table.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Lan turned around and scolded Liu Hu, her brows furrowed, her face full of impatience. "Didn't we agree on this? Sit down!"

Liu Hu was still angry and unwilling to move, "He didn't want to talk, I told you not to call him!"

"You don't know anything. What should I do if I don't call him?" Fang Qingqing couldn't stand it any more. After she finished speaking, she saw that Liu Hu didn't move. She stood up, walked behind Xiao Lan, and slapped him in the face, "Sit down!"

Fang Qingqing is now familiar with Liu Hu. After getting along with him, she also knows that although he looks fierce and vicious, he is actually very simple-minded. She told Liu Hu that she was stabbed by his men and almost died. Since then, Liu Hu has been more polite to her. He was afraid that she would hold a grudge and say bad things about her in front of Xiao Lan.

Fang Qingqing's slap felt like a tickle to Liu Hu, but Liu Hu still sat down. After all, Xiao Lan looked like she was about to lose her temper.

He sat down angrily, not looking at anyone, and turned his head away.

"Master Su, please don't argue with him." Xiao Lan smiled and gestured for Xue Wu to put away his knife. Xue Wu had just suppressed Liu Hu and naturally didn't want to embarrass Xiao Lan, so he put away the knife and said politely, "Excuse me!"

Fang Qingqing glanced at Liu Hu and said, "Look at him!"

Su Ze watched the three men's back-and-forth. They were clearly arguing, but it only made him more frustrated. The three of them knew each other well, so well that Xiao Lan would scold and lose her temper at Liu Hu at will, and even those around Xiao Lan would fight with Liu Hu, including the two children.

And I am just an outsider "Mr. Su".

"Oh, such a powerful mountain king was actually subdued by two women?" Master Cui glanced at Liu Hu sideways, and his playful eyes finally fell on Fang Qingqing.

"It's just a joke between friends. There's no need to say harsh words, Master Cui." Xiao Lan looked up at Master Cui, displeased with the way he looked at Fang Qingqing. This look...she suddenly remembered her earlier doubts: "Su Ze" should have traveled through time as well.

"I'm willing. I like to be controlled by them! You want it but you don't have it yet!" Liu Hu glanced at Su Ze and saw that Su Ze was staring at Xiao Lan with great anger, but he endured it because of Xiao Lan.

"Some things have been recorded as case files and cannot be told to outsiders at will. If you want to know, I can tell you in private. As for whether you want to tell others, that's your business." When Su Ze said this, Fang Qingqing couldn't help but pinch Xiao Lan under the table, looking at Su Ze with an aunt's smile on her face.

In her eyes, the current Su Ze no longer resembled the scumbag he was back then. Because a person's temperament can change a lot of external perceptions, Su Ze was too different from that person.

Later, when she and Xiao Lan chatted, they discussed their impressions of "Su Ze." Without knowing it, Fang Qingqing had assumed "Su Ze" was a gentleman, gentle and refined, always confident of victory. He would analyze everything she said with a lighthearted air, explaining how young she was, unaware of the dangers of society, that this was the way the world was, and whether she really thought she could escape it. She should just be a good girl and find a man who loved her...

On the other hand, Xiao Lan told her that "Su Ze" only cares about himself. Nothing about others is as important to him as a glass of water spilled on him. That's why he looks so gentle and confident, because he doesn't care at all. He sees everyone as a fool, only he is smart, and everyone else is unreasonable, only he is right.

But... Fang Qingqing glanced at Master Cui. The look in his eyes...
