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

Regardless, after signing the official document, the two finally left. Sun Shaohua bowed respectfully, Xiao Lan finished the matter hastily, and Su Ze was too lazy to care. Only women and villains are difficult to raise.

"Sir!" A deep voice came from outside, and the tall and strong Xue Wu strode over.

Everyone turned around to look, and Xiao Lan also turned around to look.

When Xue Wu saw the two people in front of him, he was immediately attracted by Xiao Lan and couldn't recover.

She'd become thinner... Xue Wu's heart sank. In Xue Wu's heart, Xiao Lan was still the same girl who'd smiled at him and learned boxing from him. Even though she had tied her hair up in a bun and was wearing a dress more typical of women.

Everyone present could see the difference in Xue Wu's eyes, and Sun Shaohua, who had been entangled with women for years, could see it even more.

"Captain Xue!" Sun Shaohua bowed to Xue Wu, and Xue Wu turned around to look at him.

Xue Wu nodded as a return gesture. He naturally didn't have a good impression of Sun Shaohua. He knew he had lost his mind just now, so he wanted to make up for it.

"It was rumored that Madam Sun was weak and dying, but now it seems she is doing okay." Sun Shaohua didn't like what Xue Wu said, and Su Ze also felt that he might as well not say it.

"Captain Xue, where did you hear these rumors? My wife was just weak some time ago, and she is much better now after treatment." Sun Shaohua looked unhappy.

"Oh, Wang Zhi treated it?" Xue Wu snorted coldly. "This rumor has spread all over the streets and alleys. That day in the court, the people outside were all saying the same thing. Didn't Master Sun hear it?"

Sun Shaohua didn't want to admit it after hearing it, "I never listen to other people's nonsense. Seeing is believing. If there is nothing else, I will leave with my wife!"

Xue Wu was naturally fine, so he stepped aside to let the two pass. This time he didn't look at Xiao Lan any more, but went straight to Su Ze.

"Sir, we just pulled a female corpse out of the river. It's so swollen that it's hard to tell."

-----------------

In the carriage, Sun Shaohua looked at Xiao Lan. Seeing him staring at her, Xiao Lan gave him a puzzled look.

"how?"

"I think that Captain Xue seems to know you. Are you old acquaintances?" If they were old acquaintances, it would seem that some things would make sense.

"I don't know him, but he does look a bit like an old friend of mine." Xiao Lan answered nonchalantly.

"What old friend? Why haven't I heard you mention him before?"

"Did you hear what I said?" Xiao Lan looked at him for a moment. When Sun Shaohua's eyes changed slightly, she continued, "When I was a child, I went to worship our ancestors with my parents and hired a team of escorts. This Captain Xue looked a bit like a little boy in the escort team at that time."

"What's the boy's name?"

Xiao Lan looked at Sun Shaohua and thought for a while, "Call me Xiaowu."

"Xue Wu...this person should be your old friend." Sun Shaohua curled the corners of his mouth, and the expression on his face was unclear.

The mystery of why a constable would go to a pharmacy and rummage through other people's medicine boxes has been solved.

"You must still be in contact with him, otherwise why would he..." At this point, Sun Shaohua didn't know whether he needed to tell Xiao Lan what happened in court that day, and how Xue Wu kidnapped Wang Zhi with clumsy means. Perhaps Xiao Lan already knew it.

Xiao Lan looked at Sun Shaohua with clear eyes, "What's going on?"

"Doctor Wang was arrested because Xue Wu caused a scene at the pharmacy and found a bottle of red pills in Doctor Wang's medicine cabinet. He then stuffed it into his mouth, forcing Doctor Wang to publicly admit that the pills were poisonous." As Sun Shaohua finished speaking, Xiao Lan smiled, a genuine smile that lasted for a long time. He seemed to have never seen her smile like this before. It was beautiful, and her voice was pleasant.

"Captain Xue is truly an interesting man." Xiao Lan suppressed a smile. She had thought of a thousand possible methods Xue Wu might use, but none of them had occurred to her. Sure enough, he was just as the original owner had imagined him: a reckless man. No, this wasn't a reckless man; this was a simpleton, just like what she had just said.

"Aren't you curious why he did this?" Sun Shaohua asked.

"Don't you want Doctor Wang to be caught?" Xiao Lan asked back.

"..." Sun Shaohua was speechless for a long while before he said, "Of course I hope that he poisoned you. I didn't know before. But now that I know, I naturally hope that he will receive the punishment he deserves."

"Then I'll report him to the police and tell them he was trying to poison me, okay? It would be best to prove he made the poison and harmed people, so that he can receive the punishment he deserves. Okay?" Xiao Lan asked again. She knew Sun Shaohua wouldn't want Xiao Lan to report him to the police, because Yu Mama would betray Sun to escape punishment.

"..."

"Then why are you saying this?" Xiao Lan stopped looking at him and looked at the curtain of the carriage swaying in front of her. From time to time, she could see the coachman and a little bit of the street scene through the gap.

"In the Sun family, you have never been so suspicious of those servants and concubines who flaunt their power and covet your money. But you are suspicious of me, the mistress who married you in a formal ceremony but lives in the Sun family. Sun Shaohua, are you really heartless? Is it my fault that I want to live?"

Xiao Lan's tone was calm, her words slow and composed, even the last question sounding like a normal question. It was the first time Sun Shaohua had been questioned in this way and not gotten angry. He felt that if the person before him had thrown a tantrum and cried loudly, perhaps he would feel better than he did now.

Sun Shaohua said nothing, but just grabbed Xiao Lan's hand and held it tightly. Xiao Lan wanted to pull it back but was too weak, so she stopped struggling. The two of them walked in silence all the way to the door of the house.

When getting off the car, Mother Xu wanted to help Xiao Lan, but Chi Yu moved sideways to block Mother Xu's way. Sun Shaohua reached out again, wanting Xiao Lan to help him.

Xiao Lan looked at the actions of these people, then turned to the other side of the carriage, lifted her skirt, and jumped off the carriage.

Mother Xu exclaimed, and quickly walked around the horse's head, "Oh, Madam, what's wrong with you!"

Sun Shaohua and Chi Yu looked at each other, and when they turned around, Xiao Lan had already entered the house.

Xiao Lan no longer coaxed Sun Shaohua as much as before because she had already messed up the Sun residence enough. She knew that Sun Shaohua would not pose any threat to her for the time being, and she could naturally feel that Sun Shaohua's attentiveness in the past few days was completely different from what the original owner remembered.

Sun Shaohua had wanted to go to Xiao Lan's yard, but when he thought about how she would rather jump out of the carriage than touch him today, he found it both ridiculous and infuriating. He simply returned to the study, thinking about settling the score with Butler Wang and Mother Yu first.

He asked Chi Yu to find the account books, flipped through them left and right, but couldn't make any sense. These account books were all fake, and he hadn't got the real ones yet, so how could he make any sense?

"Chi Yu!" He called out to Chi Yu outside again.

"Master!" Chi Yu responded as he walked in.

"Go ask me where Butler Wang hid the other account books?"

"Yes!"

As soon as Chi Yu left, Sun Shaohua completely relaxed. He hadn't studied hard for many years, so naturally he couldn't persist in studying seriously for long.

He moved from the desk to lean on the couch, and his mind unconsciously thought of Xiao Lan's experience today.

How dare she question the county magistrate? Sun Shaohua lowered her head and smiled. What a bold woman. Could it be that she really thought that others should not close her shop...

Did she and Xue Wu really only have a childhood encounter? That rough-mannered man, with his status, could only have crossed paths with Xiao Lan, a wealthy daughter, at that time. After all, Xiao Lan had taken a liking to him the first time they met; he still remembered that.

If Xiao Lan had indeed sent the message seeking help from Xue Wu, then when had she actually sent it? It seemed as though Mother Yu and Butler Wang had kept a tight rein on her movements. She did have some skills, but why had she kept them hidden until she was cornered?

"Sun Shaohua, do you really have no heart? Is it my fault that I want to live?"

My mind went back to what Xiao Lan said.

Sun Shaohua considered himself intelligent and indeed had some talent, but he willingly allowed himself to be kept in the dark because it did not involve his own interests.

He had betrayed him by having an affair with someone, so he intervened and saved Fang Qingqing. Butler Wang and Mother Yu had spoken out to Xiao Lan because she had revealed that the store's accounts were not correct, so he helped Xiao Lan live a better life.

Now that Xiao Lan had brought all the shameful things that happened in the family back to him one by one, he had no choice but to tear open the curtain and take a closer look inside.

Go and see that his mother doted on Jiye to the point that he could insult the mistress without restraint, indulged the servants to the point that he openly poisoned Xiao Lan, and ignored his granddaughter to the point that she never visited her even once when she was seriously injured, and she still hasn't gone to see her until now.

Sun Shaohua's eyes gradually dimmed, and he suddenly felt that the burden of the family had fallen on him. He had relied on his mother, Yu Mama, and on his father's housekeeper, Wang, but now he realized that the people he trusted were wolves and tigers, eager to take over the entire Sun family. His mother, who had been deceived by Yu Mama all her life, was no help at all and only blindly pushed everything onto Xiao Lan.

He sighed softly, feeling exhausted. He suddenly wanted to go see how Xin'er was doing and what Xiao Lan was doing. However, because he was thinking too clearly, he felt ashamed to face Xiao Lan for the first time.

"Master! Something bad has happened!" Chi Yu hurried in from outside, as if something shocking had happened.
