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

Xiao Lan didn't expect that this item would be so easy to collect, and her mood instantly improved.

After saying goodbye to this one, I went to the next two, and everything went smoothly without any obstacles.

Fang Qingqing thought this was a good idea. After receiving the money, she could go home and shut up those people in charge.

"Madam, let's go shopping nearby." Fang Qingqing had long been attracted by the stalls next to her and couldn't help but want to go over.

"You go with Xiaobai. I'll go back to the inn to rest for a while. My back still hurts." Xiao Lan's ankle was not in good condition and her back still hurt. She had carefully tied her hair into a bun and put it in a hairpin in order to meet people. She felt very uncomfortable.

Fang Qingqing felt it was inappropriate to leave Xiao Lan behind, and thought about sending Xiao Lan back first. However, Liu Hu quickly sent her away, saying that he would send her back himself.

Fang Qingqing glanced at Xiao Lan and saw that she had no objection, then she pulled Xiaobai out.

Xiao Lan looked at Liu Hu and said, "If you want to go shopping, I can go back by myself."

"I don't want to!" Liu Hu reached out and took Xiao Lan's arm and put it in his own hand, "Just hold on a little to save energy."

Liu Hu was a better crutch than Fang Qingqing, so Xiao Lan wasn't worried about hurting him when she supported him. So she just leaned on him and walked beside him.

However, she remained silent all the way, and she did not feel relieved even after receiving the payment.

Xiao Lan felt that this matter was going too smoothly, so smoothly that it made her feel uneasy.

"What's wrong?" Liu Hu noticed something and asked.

"Liu Hu, were those managers trying to scare me before? It's too easy to settle the bill." Xiao Lan thought of how nervous those managers were when they talked about settling the bill that day.

Liu Hu felt a little disappointed that Xiao Lan no longer called him "Ah Hu," but he still tried to comfort her, "That's because they're not the real owners. No one can get the money except your father. You have all the documents and seals, and now you're the real owner of the Xiao family. Don't you have to pay what you owe to others? You can't just keep the money for yourself."

"Actually, it's just that things went too smoothly. I'm a little nervous." Xiao Lan also knew these things. It's just a business, not a robbery. It shouldn't be difficult to do things according to the rules with documents and seals.

"Aren't you happy that it went smoothly?"

"I'm glad. No matter what, the money issue has been resolved. We can talk about the rest later. I'll go see Cui You tomorrow. I'll just rest today."

The roads in the capital are interconnected, and Xiao Lan could no longer tell the way from left to right. However, Liu Hu easily brought her back to the inn.

Everyone in the rooms went out. Xiao Lan returned to her room, asked the waiter to light the charcoal stove, and then sat in front of the dressing table and let her hair down.

She pressed the painful spot on her head and frowned, "It would be nice if I could go out with my hair down."

Liu Hu leaned on the soft couch beside her and watched her take off her hairpin, letting her black hair fall down. He felt as if the hair was wrapped around her heart.

"Then put it on. It looks good too."

Xiao Lan didn't respond, but asked, "Those of you who have martial arts skills are the best. Why can't you become an official? Your brother is doing quite well."

Liu Hu fiddled with the piece of paper Xiao Lan had written his address on. "Well, I was doing fine too. Later, my brother was transferred here, so I followed him. But then he told me to go to the mountains, saying that one of us would be an official and the other a bandit, making money in both the black and white worlds, and that we could go back north to live a good life later."

"You believe everything your brother says. Why doesn't he let you become an official instead of becoming a bandit?" Xiao Lan combed her hair intermittently.

"I can't do it. I can't be that smiling tiger in the officialdom." Liu Hu jumped off the bed and walked to Xiao Lan.

"Why did you only call me Ah Hu once?"

Xiao Lan was startled, then understood what he meant. "That's to prevent others from hearing your real name. What if someone recognizes you two brothers? Weren't you recommended for military service in the capital?"

"Then just keep on yelling." Liu Hu pretended to be indifferent, took the comb from Xiao Lan's hand, and gently combed the ends of her hair.

Xiao Lan looked at Liu Hu behind her in the bronze mirror and said, "You're not stupid, you just trust your brother too much."

Liu Hu thought of what Su Ze had said before, that Liu Yu asked him to become a bandit in order to help the Third Prince. He remained silent for a while, but continued to comb Xiao Lan's hair. "I will never let you get hurt again."

"Do you have this ability?" Xiao Lan knew that Liu Yu was a hurdle that Liu Hu could not overcome, and this blood relationship was really unseverable.

"No, but I will only trust you from now on." Liu Hu put down the comb, squatted beside Xiao Lan, held her hand, and looked up at her, "I will only trust you from now on."

Xiao Lan looked at him, resisted the urge to nod, gently pushed his hand away, stood up, sat down at the square table and poured herself a cup of tea.

"What if your brother comes to you again and tricks you into doing something?" Xiao Lan asked.

"I will tell you everything and I will follow your instructions."

Liu Hu caught up and sat next to her, "Can I always follow you from now on?"

Xiao Lan thought Liu Hu's question was strange. "Can I? You followed me without my permission."

Liu Hu lowered his head, rubbing his large palms on his legs. "Didn't you say before that a normal girl like that would have hanged herself to prove her innocence?"

That was what Xiao Lan said to Liu Hu when he was seriously injured. Xiao Lan didn't expect that he still remembered it.

"Isn't it too late for you to ask now?" Xiao Lan smiled helplessly, feeling that Liu Hu was becoming more and more awkward these days.

Liu Hu was about to say something when Fang Qingqing came back with Xiaobai, pushed open the door and walked in. There were all kinds of objects placed on the table with clanging sounds.

There were all kinds of small gadgets, including two exquisite small porcelain boxes, but I didn't know what they were.

"What is this?" Xiao Lan opened it and a fresh and elegant fragrance came out. "It smells pretty good."

Liu Hu looked at the incense, his heart sinking, "Let me take a look."

He took it and smelled it, only to find that the smell was different from the ointment he had in the barracks, but the box was somewhat similar.

"What's wrong? Does it smell bad?" Fang Qingqing looked at him with a serious face.

"This..." He glanced at Xiaobai and said, "You should go back to the room and rest first." After Xiaobai left, he continued, "This is very similar to the incense I used in the military camp."

Xiao Lan was surprised. "Resembles it? How can such a powerful incense be sold on the street?"

Fang Qingqing snatched the incense box and said, "How is that possible? There are so many people choosing it in the store. The boss said that many women in the capital use this."

Liu Hu also said frankly, "It looks like the box, but the smell is different. So I was a little confused when I saw it just now. But as you said, how could that thing be sold on the street?"

Xiao Lan took the incense in her hands and played with it, sniffing it carefully. It was indeed good, something she had never seen before in Nancheng.

"Which box is it for me?"

"This!" Fang Qingqing handed over a box. Xiao Lan opened it and smelled it. There was a woody fragrance inside.

"I like it! If I take this incense to South City, it will sell very well. How much is a box?"

"Fifteen taels!"

"what?"
