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

The moment Xiao Lan heard the voice, she felt an unbearable force on her wrist, and she was being pinched like that, standing motionless.

"Brother, I'm shopping." Xiao Lan's voice remained calm, but her eyes were fixed on the spot where the group of detectives were fighting. She had thought that this person might really come back to silence her, but she had never thought that he would dare to appear in such a busy city with so many people.

"Oh, Madam is still so courageous. Aren't you afraid of seeing me again?" Liu Hu leaned forward, lingeringly inhaling the fragrance of incense on Xiao Lan's body.

The two of them were too close in the street market, but fortunately everyone was attracted by the fight in front of the jewelry store and no one noticed them.

"I should ask if you are not afraid? In a place with so many people around, I can at least run away by shouting!" Xiao Lan twisted her wrist, trying to break free. It was pinched too painfully.

Liu Hu actually reduced some of his strength, but did not let go.

"Ten days have passed, and my portrait has not appeared in the city. Madam is either reluctant to betray me, or she can't remember what I look like!" Liu Hu leaned over and whispered in Xiao Lan's ear.

"I don't remember, and I don't want to betray you! You didn't hurt me and the child that day, and I remember that you kept your promise. And your appearance helped me, so I consider it as a repayment." Xiao Lan turned her head away, avoiding the man's breath in her ear.

Liu Hu's appearance had indeed helped Xiao Lan solve a number of problems. He no longer had to deal with Butler Wang and Mother Yu without Sun Shaohua's hassle. Even the annoying old woman was killed with a single blow, and Sun Shaohua kicked her so hard she was bedridden, unable to cause any more trouble. He was simply here to give her welfare!

But that's all in the past. She wasn't in that mood at the time.

Xue Wu said this man might be in cahoots with someone else, and if anyone came to question him, she would have to feign extreme shock and not remember what he looked like. However, no one had come to ask about him in recent days, so she simply kept quiet. If this criminal was truly powerful, even if his portrait was plastered all over the city, these detectives might not be able to catch him.

"Madam, I don't understand the way you deal with people! Aren't you afraid that I will seek revenge on you?" Liu Hu stared at Xiao Lan's profile with deep eyes, thinking about this woman's unique way of doing things.

"You don't come to me for revenge. The government is here to arrest you, so you should go to them. Besides, if you need money, I can give you some. Wouldn't it be mutually beneficial for us? Why do you have to fight and kill and risk your life for money?"

As the two were talking, Haitang had already squeezed out of the crowd. When she saw Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan was already standing there alone.

"Madam, who was talking to you just now... You can't get so close to strangers outside. Didn't someone just run away..." Haitang was very worried.

Xiao Lan shook her head, thinking only of what the man had just said, "My name is Liu Hu, see you later!"

Xiao Lan's encounter with Liu Hu had left her feeling a bit emotional. She was hesitant about whether to tell Xue Wu about what had just happened. If she did, the authorities might not be able to catch him, but with Liu Hu's skills, he would definitely seek revenge if he was pushed into a corner.

"If you can't make it, you go down and stay with me." This was what Liu Hu had said that day. Xiao Lan naturally didn't want to be a scapegoat for such a desperate man, so she decided to wait and see what would happen. After all, judging from today's situation, Liu Hu had no intention of taking her life.

Xiao Lan marveled at her own charm. Although she had once garnered considerable attention due to her striking appearance and a wealthy family background, she wasn't universally loved. In her youth, she had a bad temper, relying on her family's wealth and lack of parental support, and exhibited some of the same bullying traits of a delinquent girl. Later, when she joined the company, she felt confident because it was her own company. While she was prone to flattery and some hypocritical workplace behavior, she had never suffered any loss, and she still possessed a certain domineering nature.

She hadn't expected to see him exuding such charm! But then she thought, since she had traveled here, she was the protagonist, and it was normal for her to receive attention that others didn't get. This was like a mission, and whether she liked it or not was entirely up to her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan also let it go. If she could linger among the flowers without getting a single leaf on her body, she would be fine! But Liu Hu couldn't do that. It wouldn't look good!

The chaos at the jewelry store entrance had ended, as the coroner, with the help of a few servants, was also inside the store selecting items. The servants were very dissatisfied, staring at the coroner wherever he went, and following him with rags, wiping away the items non-stop.

Xiao Lan couldn't stand these dog-eyed people, especially since this person had connections with the detectives, so it was a good idea to do him a favor. After the chaos, many customers left the shop, and now only a few people were left. The shopkeeper was holding a jade hairpin and introducing it to a lady.

"Boss, is the private room occupied?" A private room in a jewelry store is a small compartment with dedicated attendants where you can sit and choose. Usually, when wives of wealthy families come, they'll find a place to sit and take their time choosing.

Before Xiao Lan married, she would have the jewelry delivered to her home by the shopkeepers. Occasionally, when she went out, she would come to this private room to choose. It was strange to think that the original owner, so precious and noble, could endure such humiliation after marrying into the Sun family.

"The private room is available!" A waiter, seeing that this must be a large order, hurried forward to serve, nodding and bowing politely, "Madam, please come in."

Haitang had just followed Xiao Lan to the Sun family, and it was her first time seeing such a grand occasion. She was inevitably a little embarrassed and took smaller steps.

After entering the private room, the constables were waiting on both sides of the room. While the waiter went to call the shopkeeper, he asked them to call the coroner.

"Come with me to choose here. You won't be able to choose well outside!" Xiao Lan smiled at him gently. She thought it was amazing that he could be a coroner at such a young age.

Xu saw that Madam Sun was very friendly to him, so he sat down without any hesitation. A constable glared at him and said, "You are so rude!"

"Madam... I'm afraid that others will gossip about you if they see you with a coroner. It's unlucky to have a coroner!" Haitang watched the man sit down and stepped back unconsciously. After all, people who deal with private matters every day must have a lot of negative energy.

"How come you're always gossiping at such a young age? I'm sitting with this guy in broad daylight with so many people watching. What's wrong with that? Besides, he's an acquaintance of theirs, so why should I be afraid?"

Xu Yi glanced at Haitang, his eyes devoid of emotion, as if he had long been accustomed to what others said. Although a coroner was extremely important in handling cases at the county government office, in this city, he was like a plague, avoided by everyone.

"It's Mrs. Sun! I haven't seen you before. What would you like to buy today? I can introduce it to you in detail!" Most of the guests in the private room are received by the shopkeeper personally.

"Boss, do you recognize me?" The original owner seldom went out, so it was rare for the boss to remember him.

"Of course. When you were still in the Xiao family, our store delivered goods to you and the old lady several times!" The shopkeeper was polite and tried to be close to her.

The shopkeeper glanced at Xu Yi and then stopped. He was a seasoned man, and sometimes even these unlucky individuals did have some kind of noble helper. If he refused to sell because of his status, he would earn less money. If the woman who had just been looking at jewelry hadn't been so aggressive that morning, he wouldn't have told the shop assistant to send her away.
