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

Xiao Lan paused slightly and looked at Su Ze. Su Ze said nothing and did not deny it.

"Oh, congratulations." Xiao Lan turned to look at Su Ze again, "Congratulations to Lord Su as well, for finally finding a good match."

"Madam, we have to hurry with the children. Sir Su, excuse me, we have to go first." Fang Qingqing didn't even get out of the carriage. She lifted the curtain and gave Su Ze a hypocritical smile. She had cursed Su Ze a thousand times in her heart, and now this official smile was her last disguise.

"Goodbye!" Xiao Lan got back on the carriage. Pan Yingqiu was still behind him saying that they wanted to meet again in the capital.

Xiao Lan dropped the curtain without even paying attention.

Just as the carriage was about to move, it suddenly stopped. A man lifted the curtain and came in. It was Liu Hu, who had been watching the excitement in the carriage.

Xin'er was delighted to see Liu Hu, and she rushed over to him and snuggled into his arms, "Uncle Hu, are you sitting here?"

"Yeah, I came to play with you." Liu Hu said to Xin'er, but looked at Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan knew what he meant, but ignored him and let him take Xin'er out to play.

Fang Qingqing saw Xin'er laughing so hard with Liu Hu's teasing, and she thought this man was quite good! He was skilled in martial arts, had well-developed muscles, a great figure, and a simple mind!

She leaned over and whispered in Xiao Lan's ear, "Liu Hu is also very good!"

Xiao Lan glanced at her and said, "Yes, that's fine. If I were to marry a concubine, I wouldn't treat myself badly. I'd keep both of them."

Liu Hu glanced over here and was about to say something. But Xin'er rolled her eyes and said with a smirk, "Father has Fang Xiaoniang and He Xiaoniang, so mother can have one too." She raised her head and looked up at Liu Hu, "Hu Xiaoniang!"

There was silence in the carriage...

Su Ze's carriage followed Xiao Lan's carriage not too far away, and he could even hear the people in the carriage laughing.

He lowered his eyes and fiddled with the teacup beside him. It was empty. He just stared at the bottom of the tea, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Cousin Ze, this tea doesn't last long. Let's change it after drinking another cup." Pan Yingqiu held the teapot to add another cup for him, but Su Ze placed his palm on the teacup.

"Pan Yingqiu, are you sure you want to do this?" Su Ze looked up at Pan Yingqiu, his eyes cold and without much emotion, no contempt, no disdain, no anger, no joy, he just simply looked at her.

"My cousin has followed me back to Beijing. He followed me in such a hurry, didn't he mean he was well prepared?" Pan Yingqiu curled the corners of her beautiful lips, and her smile looked as if she had practiced it thousands of times, so beautiful.

"Yes, I am prepared. I don't know if you are ready."

"I'm ready." Pan Yingqiu reached out and took away Su Ze's hand covering the teacup, and poured him another cup. "I know my cousin doesn't like me, but that's okay, I don't care. All I want is to be your wife. Whoever you end up with, whether you're in love or not, is none of my business. Isn't this the mistress of the Su family, exactly what my cousin wants?"

Su Ze let her pour a cup of tea, "Why would I want it so badly?"

"How could a county magistrate like you really marry a widow? Besides, I don't think Sister Xiao has you in her heart." Pan Yingqiu poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and narrowed her eyes with satisfaction. "The man who jumped into the carriage behind the city just now, your expression has become even uglier since he entered. It's conceivable that this man may bother you more than me." Pan Yingqiu put down the teacup, lifted the curtain, and looked at the carriage in front. "If you want to secretly meet with Sister Xiao, I will turn a blind eye. Other wives may not do the same."

"Oh? Then you are quite generous?" Su Ze said lightly.

"Because I don't like you." Pan Yingqiu looked back at Su Ze, her eyes full of mockery. "Maybe, out of my youth and ignorance, I had some feelings for you. But I've seen through it all. It's enough to have you. There's no need to force anything else!"

Su Ze looked at her, said no more, and closed his eyes to rest.

When he returned home yesterday, his mother sobbed and told him about what happened at Pan Yingqiu's. She simply hoped Su Ze wouldn't ruin his career for Xiao Lan, and she also didn't want him to make a big fuss and upset his father. Su Ze was about to get angry, but Master Cui, who was accompanying him, came up with a solution: he asked Su Ze to agree first and then talk about it later.

Afterwards, Su Ze went to Pan Yingqiu's house in person and agreed to Pan Yingqiu's request. He explained the affairs of the mansion to her and then followed Pan Yingqiu back to the capital, saying that he would personally visit her uncle.

Pan Yingqiu naturally accepted such a great honor, so she hurriedly packed up for the night and followed Su Ze back to Beijing in a carriage the next day.

As if they had made an appointment, Xiao Lan's carriage and Su Ze's carriage both stopped by the stream.

The forest is filled with beautiful scenery in late autumn, and the reflections of redwoods by the stream are breathtakingly beautiful.

Fang Qingqing happily took Haitang, Jiye, and Xin'er to play skipping stones in the creek. She wasn't very skilled, so she couldn't even throw many, but Liu Hu, on the other hand, picked up a stone and swung it an astonishing distance. Everyone applauded, and Liu Hu, incredibly proud, insisted on asking Li Si and Yu Lao to show off their skills, seemingly just to embarrass them.

Xiao Lan stood beside the carriage, watching everyone laughing and playing in a group by the stream, and felt that the years were peaceful.

At some point, Su Ze quietly stood behind her.

“They had a great time…”

Xiao Lan was startled by the sudden appearance of someone. When she turned around suddenly, she fell into the person's shoulder. "Is it a ghost?" She covered her nose which was hurt and turned her head back, continuing to look at the stream.

"Being a human or a ghost is too ethereal, I can't touch you."

Su Ze's words were sincere, but Xiao Lan's face instantly heated up. "Your mother also said that you have never been close to a woman, but I don't think so."

Su Ze looked at the red tips of Xiao Lan's ears, and thought of the same thing yesterday. He gently touched the tip of the ear with his fingertips and watched Xiao Lan take a trembling step forward.

He also took a step forward to catch up, "Why are you hiding? Are you afraid he'll see you?"

"Aren't you afraid that she'll see it?" Xiao Lan didn't show any weakness either.

"Don't be afraid." Su Ze bowed slightly, and kissed Xiao Lan's ear with his thin lips, as if whispering something.

Xiao Lan felt numb all over, and she quickly lifted her skirt and ran to the stream, "Take me with you!" No one cared about the trembling in her last voice, but Su Ze could hear it.

He curled his lips, in a good mood, and returned to his carriage, only to see Pan Yingqiu still looking at him with a smile.

"Let's go after you've had fun." Pan Yingqiu seemed to have no idea what had just happened outside.

"Okay." Su Ze said coldly, sat down and closed his eyes without saying much.

Pan Yingqiu looked at Su Ze's stern face. His profile was clearly outlined, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and there was no trace of the frivolous look he had just had.

She couldn't help but snorted coldly.

Su Ze raised his eyelids slightly and squinted at her, "What? Are you unhappy?"

"You're worrying too much, cousin." Pan Yingqiu lowered her eyes and smiled, her voice gentle.

"That's good."

The carriage continued to move forward. It seemed that Su Ze's carriage was fast, but in fact it stopped and started, and was only about one or two miles ahead and behind Xiao Lan.

In the end, we stayed at the same official inn on the first night.
