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

Outside the yard

When Fang Qingqing saw someone rushing towards her, she turned around and ran in the other direction without caring about anything else. Jasmine and Haitang followed her. Those people were targeting men and were not interested in them, the maids.

The three of them ran desperately, only to hear the noises behind them becoming increasingly chaotic and farther away. Soon, the three of them had reached the back door.

The back door was right next to the kitchen, and they gradually slowed down their pace, reminding each other to be careful. There was still a little light in the kitchen, and some inaudible noises were coming out.

Fang Qingqing looked from afar and saw a man holding a knife inside. Several maids and servants were tied to the ground, as well as a cook and a housekeeper. It seemed that Xiaoqing and Xiaobai were also inside.

Haitang wanted to move forward to get a closer look, but Fang Qingqing grabbed her sleeve and pulled her back, shaking her head. Then, Jasmine took the lead, moving along the outer wall, inching towards the back door.

Before reaching the back door, Jasmine suddenly stopped. The two people behind her looked around and couldn't stop in time, so they bumped into Jasmine, making a slight noise.

There was a man standing at the back door, looking around with a big knife in his hand. When he heard the noise, he took two steps towards where they were hiding, turned around and looked at the back door again. He felt uneasy and finally did not go far.

Fang Qingqing and the other two breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed for a long time. She looked carefully at the back door, put a bolt on it, and silently backed away.

There is no way out through the back door of the kitchen, and the dog hole is definitely not blocked either. After all, if someone came in from there today, there must be someone watching.

They found a secluded place to discuss.

"How many people did they bring with them?" Fang Qingqing counted carefully.

"There are five at the door, one in the kitchen, and one at the back door. In addition to Butler Wang, Mother Yu, and Wang Yun, there are four or five more people. I don't know if the three who rushed out just now were from the door. There are more than a dozen people here?" Jasmine was quick-witted and could calculate quickly.

"There are more than a dozen people here. Is there anyone still watching the dog hole?" Haitang asked in a low voice.

"Can't we climb out of this courtyard wall?" Fang Qingqing looked up. It was not impossible to climb out, but even if they climbed up, they might not be able to get down. The courtyard wall was still a bit high.

"How about we go to the dog hole and take a look? If there is someone watching, it will probably be like there is only one person at the back door. But the back door is close to the kitchen. If there is any movement at the back door, the people in the kitchen will definitely rush over to help. I'm a little scared." Jasmine turned her head and looked around, but saw no one.

"Can the three of us defeat that person?" The three people hesitated.

"I don't care about that anymore. As long as one of the three people can escape, that's enough!" Fang Qingqing was really worried about Xiao Lan, and she felt more and more uneasy.

"Let's go!" Haitang held onto Moli, "When the time comes, Fang Xiaoniang will go first!"

"Why? I'll go first!" Jasmine was unwilling.

"Okay!" Fang Qingqing knew that now was not the time to be fussy. It didn't matter who could leave, as long as they could report to the police.

The three of them looked at each other, stopped hesitating, and went to the dog hole first.

The three of them didn't rush over when they got close. They hid behind a fake rock and watched for a while. The dog hole was too far away and it was dark and they couldn't see anything clearly. Finally, they heard a "pop" and saw a figure swaying.

"Damn it! They told me to watch the dog hole here. What a crappy place! It's full of mosquitoes!" The man cursed, stood up straight, and slapped himself in the face again.

This time I finally saw it clearly: a skinny man holding a small knife, waving it back and forth to drive away mosquitoes.

The three of them exchanged glances, weighed the bricks in their hands, and nodded. Leaving Jasmine on one side, Fang Qingqing and Haitang moved to the other side. After a while, Haitang remained behind, while Fang Qingqing moved forward, ultimately creating a three-sided pincer attack.

Fang Qingqing adjusted her breathing, held the stone tightly with both hands, and glanced at the positions of Haitang and Jasmine, but couldn't see them clearly!

"Come on!"

At the command, the three men actually rushed out with bricks...

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

Xiao Lan was led out of the house by Liu Hu, holding his shoulders, leaving him alone to watch over the people inside. Wang Yun also came out with a bruised face, the knife in his hand already tucked into his waist by another person.

Xiao Lan looked outside. All the servants had been killed and were lying on the ground without a sound. Only one person was left, still holding on, but he couldn't stand up. That person was Li Si.

"Brother, this is the head of the Sun family!" A man with a scar on his face pushed him forward, and Sun Shaohua fell to the ground.

He wasn't seriously injured. As a scholar, the most exercise he'd gotten was walking around the house. He'd stayed away from the fight earlier, wanting to escape, but was caught.

"Master Sun! Who has the key?" Liu Hu looked at Sun Shaohua, who was lying on the ground, with disdain in his eyes.

Sun Shaohua didn't dare to look up for a long time. He saw that the scarred man was ruthless and chopped the servants one by one with his sword. If he had not knelt down when the sword was about to hit him, he would have died.

"It's right here! It's right here! Don't kill me!" Sun Shaohua knelt down and begged for mercy. When he looked up at Liu Hu, he also saw Xiao Lan looking at him. He quickly lowered his head, "Don't hurt my wife and children!"

When Sun escaped, he thought his mother was really hateful. Instead of blaming him for hiring the wrong person and letting the wolf into the house, he actually blamed himself for pushing his mother to desperate measures. But now, he also regretted it. If he had turned a blind eye, he would not have encountered these changes!

"No need to bang on the door this time!" Liu Hu pulled Xiao Lan's shoulders towards him and looked at her with a smile. Xiao Lan couldn't bear the force and leaned over. Li Hu was surprised. This woman didn't even struggle at all?

Xiao Lan knew that struggling at this time would only bring suffering to herself and would be of no other use.

"Then please go get the key and the money and leave quickly, it will be difficult to leave after daybreak!" Xiao Lan reminded.

Money is not a big deal, and it means nothing to the Xiao family. Saving their lives is more important than anything else! These people are not easy to deal with, and it is best to send them away with money.

Xiao Lan began to regret that she missed the opportunity to report to the police in the afternoon. She should have listened to Jasmine at that time. It was she who hesitated.

Xiao Lan found that she regretted her life more and more. She shouldn't be so cautious when living here. Shouldn't she just be more decisive?

Liu Hu looked ordinary, but he had been involved in so many murders that he looked ferocious, and his smile was even more unpleasant. Sun Shaohua glanced at him and didn't dare to look at him again, but even from that one glance, she could tell that there was something wrong with the way he was staring at Xiao Lan.

He didn't dare to hesitate, "The key is in my study, in my study!"

Scarface stepped forward and kicked him, "Why don't you lead the way!"

In order to look after these people, they left behind two more people, and now there were only three people following Xiao Lan and Sun Shaohua.

In order to make a fortune in Sun's house today, Liu Hu did bring a lot of brothers with him, but the house is too big, and it is still a bit difficult to control all the entrances and exits. It is better to make a quick decision.

Wang Yun had deceived him, saying that his uncle and aunt could open the storehouse and take away the silver without anyone noticing. But the key was not there, and he said it was with the lady, but he looked around but couldn't find it.

There's a room full of old women and children, it's so annoying!

Sun Shaohua was really scared, so he went to the study without any hesitation, took out the key, and handed it to Scarface with both hands.

Liu Hu was very satisfied. He hugged Xiao Lan and took Sun Shaohua to the warehouse together.

The lock did look different, thick and large, and the wooden door was also heavy, but just as Xiao Lan said, it was not impossible to open it with brute force.

But since he had the key, it was no big deal. There was a lot of cash in the treasury, as well as various silver bills and deeds. Sun Shaohua had never seen so much silver in his own treasury.

Liu Hu was very satisfied with this. He turned around and said to his other two brothers, "Take everyone to the kitchen and set the house on fire. Leave the old woman and the little girl with the lady. Ask two brothers to come and move the goods." As he said this, he glanced at Xiao Lan.

When Sun Shaohua heard that the house was to be set on fire, he cried and begged: "Brother, brother, please take all the money. We don't want any. Please leave the people here! So many lives are at stake. You can't set the house on fire!"

"Shut up!" Scarface slapped Sun Shaohua. Liu Hu pretended to stop him and looked at Xiao Lan.

"I didn't want to mobilize so many troops today, but things have come to this point. There are too many people who have seen us! I have to kill him!" He saw Xiao Lan's eyes wavering, and said, "But today I will listen to my wife. If you say not to kill, then I will not kill! However, you have to be willing to come with me!"

When Liu Hu had put his arm around Xiao Lan's shoulders earlier, Xiao Lan had already sensed something was amiss. Was Liu Hu truly attracted to her? Was he even willing to let go of a witness?

Would it have been better if I had cried and trembled just now?
