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

Xiao Lan asked Mother Xu to pack up her things and turned around to find Mr. Yu.

Seeing that Xiao Lan looked unhappy, Old Yu asked, "Madam, what's going on?"

Li Si was also standing by, just staring at Xiao Lan, waiting for her answer. But he could also guess that it wouldn't be a good thing...

Xiao Lan briefly explained the whole story, "Now the Xiao family is at stake, and I have no worries except these two children. I want to send them to Liu Hu's hometown in Beidu, but I can't leave, and Liu Hu doesn't want to leave either. Now I can only ask you to send them there, and you can go anywhere after that. I'll give you the money..." She wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Old Yu.

"Madam, you look down on me. I will escort the young master and young lady well, and wait for you on the mountain to pick them up."

After Old Yu finished speaking, he looked at Li Si, who also looked fearless. "I have nothing to lose. I still need to learn Kung Fu from Old Yu. I will go pack up now and leave immediately to wait for my wife in Beidu."

As they were talking, Liu Hu came up from behind and handed over a sealed letter. The words "To Mother and Liu Yue" on the envelope were written crookedly.

He avoided Xiao Lan and stuffed it into Yu Lao's arms, "Keep it well, don't drop it, or my sister won't recognize you."

Xiao Lan thought he was suspicious, but she didn't have time to care.

Mother Xu and the others packed up quickly. Xiao Lan took out half of the money she had collected and handed it over. "You might need the rest, so take these first. You can't eat and drink other people's food for free."

That was a huge sum of money; the Xiao family's six months' profit was all in it. Mother Xu didn't dare take it, but Xiaobai took it directly and held it to her chest, "Madam, don't worry, we will take good care of the young master and the young lady. Please come pick us up soon!"

Xiao Lan looked at Xiaobai and felt a little relieved. It was really a waste of talent for these girls to be maids in the courtyard.

Xiao Lan had already talked to Xin'er and Jiye in the house, saying that she would go to Uncle Hu's house to protect Uncle Hu's sister.

Xin'er was very excited when she heard this, and she felt that she could definitely protect the tiger girl. Jiye was already older and knew that Xiao Lan's words were just coaxing a child. He took the opportunity when Xin'er went to find Xiaobai to secretly hold Xiao Lan's hand.

"Mother, I'm waiting for you to pick me up. I will protect my sister. Please come early."

Xiao Lan wanted to cry when she heard this, and she wished she could just leave with them. But she also knew that if they all left without caring about anything, then no one would be able to leave.

Xiao Lan told everyone to keep a low profile and not to let the children cry in the street. After seeing the carriage go away, she hurried back to look for Su Ze and Liu Hu.

"Where is Cui You now?" Su Ze closed the house tightly, including the windows.

"I met Cui You at the restaurant at noon. He mentioned he had a small courtyard, but I don't know if he's still there now." Xiao Lan's fingers tightened around the teacup, his palms slightly sweating. "After all, what he said to us at noon was very clear. I just don't know if he knows what we know."

"Shall I go take a look?" Liu Hu sat beside her and asked her with his head tilted. Seeing her fingertips turn white, he knew that she was not as calm as she appeared.

"Okay." Xiao Lan nodded. Seeing Liu Hu stand up, he said, "Be careful."

Liu Hu touched her cold fingertips and said, "Don't worry, I won't be reckless."

Fang Qingqing paced the room in circles. "If we can catch Cui You, we'll have a witness. At least the merchants will recognize him, and naturally the nobles will recognize him too. But he looks like he's throwing a tantrum. Is he planning to bite back?"

After hearing this, Xiao Lan also felt that it made sense.

"The prince ordered Cui You to do business and make money...sell magic incense to make money..." Fang Qingqing chattered on and on, but it provided Su Ze and Xiao Lan with a lot of ideas.

"The magic incense is addictive. Once you become addicted, you can be blackmailed and controlled. If the Third Prince says that the Crown Prince uses this magic incense to control the court..." Xiao Lan stated her own judgment and cast a glance at Su Ze. She didn't know if her guess was right. She really didn't understand these things. She hadn't even watched two episodes of ancient political dramas. She was afraid that her thoughts were beyond the scope.

"That means sentencing the Crown Prince to death!" Su Ze looked at Xiao Lan, his expression not relaxed. He had already thought of all the possible scenarios, including the worst.

"The prince is guilty of a capital crime, so what about us?" Fang Qingqing suddenly threw herself on the table, looking at Su Ze with despair in her eyes.

"Liu Hu just told me that the broadsword he used before was something he had to ask Liu Yuqiang for. Liu Yu had several boxes of it in his barracks..."

Xiao Lan's eyes darkened instantly, and he felt shortness of breath. The words he uttered were as heavy as gold. "You mean, if that knife... appears with the magic incense..." then it means rebellion.

"Oh my god...I'm dead!" Fang Qingqing was like a deflated ball. She collapsed from the table to the stool, and finally lay on the table, looking at Xiao Lan and then at Su Ze.

In the backyard of an elegantly decorated casino, a room is brightly lit.

Xiao Zongwen looked at the two men kneeling before him. One of them, Wu Zhiyi, the son of the old housekeeper, had his shrewd little eyes swollen even more, a look of fear in them. His face was bruised, and he held his injured arm with one hand. His voice trembled, "Master... Master, my father is the housekeeper of the Xiao family. He has money. If you ask me to deliver a letter, he will definitely send the money!"

Xiao Zongwen coughed lightly and shifted the position of the hand warmer in his hand. "I've asked someone to go and call them."

"You bastard, you set us up!"

Liao Kangzheng struggled to get up, but the thugs behind him kicked him to the ground.

"Kneel down!"

Xiao Zongwen picked up the document beside him and said, "It's clearly written in black and white. Don't you two young masters know the principle of accepting defeat?"

When the old butler came in, he was still looking arrogant, wondering who would be so ignorant as to touch his son in Nancheng.

Just as he was about to speak, he narrowed his eyes and saw that it was Xiao Zongwen sitting there. He instantly knew that something was wrong. Turning around, he saw that even Xiao Fei's youngest son had been beaten up and had a black eye...

"What do you mean?" After all, the old butler had seen a lot of things in the world, so he still remained calm.

"The young master owes the gambling house five hundred taels of silver." The thug standing behind Wu Zhiyi said in a deep voice.

"Five hundred taels?" It was not a small sum. He glanced at his son, who was trembling on the ground. Seeing that the wicked boy didn't even dare to raise his head, he knew what he said must be true. He resisted the urge to kick him again and said, "I'll pay it back!"

"Mr. Wu, don't give it to him! He's the one who set up this trap, he just wants to teach us a lesson. Tell my mother right away and ask her to give him..." Before Liao Kangzheng could finish his words, he was kicked hard by the thugs behind him. A mouthful of blood immediately rushed up his throat and he almost spit it out.

"Shut up!"

"Hey?! You are so bold, do you know that he is..." Old Wu wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xiao Zongwen who stood up.

"The five hundred taels are owed to the gambling house, and the five thousand taels are owed to me!" Xiao Zongwen walked to Old Wu, patted him on the shoulder, and then went around behind Wu Zhiyi.

"It's OK for a father to pay his son's debt, but I don't know if he can afford to pay back these five thousand taels."

Five thousand taels was a sum that would cost Mr. Wu enough to empty his house. He quickly turned to look at Liao Kangzheng, "Who is Mr. Liao?"

Xiao Zongwen smiled and said, "Mr. Liao, it's fifty thousand taels!"

"Fifty... thousand? Are you crazy?" Old Wu retreated repeatedly. If there had not been a pillar behind him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Mr. Wu, go find my mother..."

"Xiao Zongwen, what on earth are you going to do!?"

Xiao Fei, supported by her mother, walked in quickly, followed by several servants who were also tall and strong.
