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

Jasmine brought back the snacks as she wished. They came in various shapes, square and round, and they tasted really good.

In this era, there are no additives; the food itself is the flavor, making it even more fragrant. Xiao Lan was very satisfied, and Xin'er also enjoyed the meal. She gave some to Jasmine Begonia, and Mother Xu also tried two pieces.

Finally, the unsatisfactory dinner was covered up and everyone in the room was having a great time.

"Sun Shaohua isn't back yet?" Xiao Lan finished her meal and lay down on a reclining chair in the yard to enjoy the cool breeze. It was the beginning of autumn now, and the nights were a little cooler, making the room feel stuffy.

"Madam, please don't call the master by his name. This is...too against the rules." Mother Xu kindly reminded.

Xiao Lan didn't care, "Are you back?"

"I'm back. I was just called to the old lady's courtyard. Maybe..." Mother Xu wanted to say that she might be here soon, but she didn't know how to say it.

In the past, Xiao Lan was docile, and the master would find fault with her and scold her from time to time. Xiao Lan's behavior in the old lady's yard this afternoon was really... so satisfying! Mother Xu still felt a lingering fear when she thought of this, fearing that the master might make a big fuss when he came.

In Xiao Lan's memory, Sun Shaohua was a talented young man. Although he had always looked down on Xiao Lan, Xiao Lan felt that marrying such a talented county magistrate's son was too high a goal, so she was always cautious about him.

But in Xiao Lan's heart now, Sun Shaohua is a mama's boy, a scumbag, and good for nothing. Not to mention that he didn't pass any imperial examinations, even if he did, he would still be Chen Shimei, and he deserved to die a thousand times.

"I'll bring Xin'er to your bed to sleep for a while, and then bring her back later. This way, she won't hear anything inappropriate..." Before Xiao Lan finished her words, she saw Sun Shaohua coming in from outside with his sleeves swung, followed by his personal servant Chi Yu, and Jasmine Haitang also jogging behind.

"Madam... the master is here!"

"I can see it!" Xiao Lan didn't even move, just waved her hands. Mother Xu quickly picked up Xin'er who was running around in the yard, hurriedly saluted the master and was about to leave!

"Don't go!" Sun Shaohua stopped Mother Xu with one hand. Xin'er was also restless on his body, so Mother Xu couldn't hold her anymore and let her go.

Xin'er rarely saw her father, so she saluted him in a childish voice, which made Xiao Lan furious. "Xin'er greets father!"

Sun Shaohua had never paid much attention to his daughter, but seeing her trying to break free from his embrace and come down to pay her respects to him, he was very satisfied. His anger subsided a little, and he bent down to touch Xin'er's face, "Xin'er is so obedient!"

Xin'er was very happy to receive the praise. She turned to look at her mother, but saw Xiao Lan's ugly face and didn't know what to do for a moment.

Mother Xu was stopped by the master and didn't dare to hug Xin'er anymore. She also looked at Xiao Lan for help.

"Mom Xu, take Xin'er and wash her thoroughly to prevent her from getting dirty." Sun Shaohua was covered in the scent of rouge and powder, filling the entire yard.

Xiao Lan was even more disgusted by the bacteria on her hands, which had been exposed to so much bad places. Seeing Xu's hesitation, Xiao Lan lost her patience.

"Didn't you hear? Take him away!"

"Yes!" Mother Xu didn't care about the master, and hurriedly picked up Xin'er, and called Jasmine and Begonia, and hurriedly retreated. Chi Yu didn't stop them, nor did he leave.

"Xiao Lan, I think you are going crazy!" Sun Shaohua was surprised to see Xiao Lan dare to show off in front of him. At the same time, he thought of his mother's pitiful appearance and pointed at Xiao Lan and scolded her.

As soon as he entered the house tonight, he ran into Mother Yu, who was passing by the door with a worried look on her face. He stopped her and asked her about it, only to find out that Xiao Lan had caused a big disturbance in her mother's yard that afternoon.

Sun Shaohua was a filial son who could not bear to see his mother suffer any injustice. He ignored Yu Mama's objections and went to her room. When he entered, he saw his mother holding her head with her hands, lowering her head and crying. When she saw him, she blamed Yu Mama for bothering him and shook her head, unwilling to say more.

If he hadn't insisted on asking, he wouldn't have known what Xiao Lan had done!

"Sorry, I'm fine." Xiao Lan hasn't stood up since Sun Shaohua entered the yard. She lies on the chair and sways from time to time, looking very comfortable.

In fact, Xiao Lan was just holding it in. The original owner's physiological reaction to Sun Shaohua was fear, so her hands and feet were instinctively cold and she couldn't even make a fist. If the chair hadn't been shaken, people would have seen her trembling body.

Sun Shaohua was so frightened by Xiao Lan's appearance that he stood there in a daze, and even the effect of the alcohol had worn off.

"What do you mean?" Sun Shaohua narrowed his eyes and looked closely at the man who seemed comfortable on the recliner.

"Why did you come to my yard and ask me what I meant?" His body relaxed a little, no longer feeling as uncomfortable as before. After all, the Xiao Lan in this body was no longer the same as before.

"Speak clearly about what you want to say, and don't question me here with meaningless words."

"Okay! Then make it clear!" Sun Shaohua glanced at Xiao Lan with disdain. This woman had been a useless spineless person since she joined the group. She had just said a few harsh words in a fit of anger. Could she possibly change into a human being?

He walked to the stone bench in the yard. Chi Yu quickly walked over, brushed off the dust with his sleeve, and helped Sun Shaohua sit down.

"Xin'er has always been with her mother. Her mother couldn't bear to let her go and wouldn't take her away." Sun Shaohua said bluntly.

"As a mistress, I can't raise my own flesh and blood?" Xiao Lan replied bluntly. "That doesn't make sense at all."

"I have the final say in this family!" Sun Shaohua suppressed his anger.

Xiao Lan glanced at Chi Yu, who was beside Sun Shaohua and had been looking at her, and said softly, "Chi Yu, please step back. I have something to say to the master alone."

Chi Yu didn't move and looked at Sun Shaohua, who was disdainful.

Is Xiao Lan going to beg for mercy?

If she really said a few soft words, it would be fine to let her raise the girl. He, Sun Shaohua, was not an unreasonable person. He gave Chi Yu a wink, and Chi Yu lowered his head and retreated.

There were only two people left in the yard. The lantern was swaying in the breeze, and the shadows of the two people also swayed on the ground.

Xiao Lan took the teacup on the small table beside her and drank a glass of water before slowly saying, "You should already know how much wealth you have left."

Sun Shaohua's eyes darkened. He had never thought about this question.

Xiao Lan's family has been in business for generations, and their business is one of the best in this small town. However, it seems that the family is small because Mr. Xiao is the only son in the Xiao family and he only loves one wife, who has only one daughter.

Although the Xiao family was small, they were not short of money. The Xiao family could support the Sun family with more than enough money. The dowry that Xiao Lan brought back then shocked the town.

Ever since marrying Xiao Lan, there has been no money problem in their family.

Sun Shaohua looked at Xiao Lan again without saying anything. He also understood why Chi Yu was sent away. This woman was saving face for him.

Xiao Lan saw his reaction and realized that he was not stupid. "The Sun family is different now than before. They are soft-hearted and reluctant to give back. You should understand this principle."

The old county magistrate has passed away. Sun Shaohua has no achievements and is not even a scholar. The Sun family's current glory is given by the Xiao family.

Originally, Xiao Lan knew this truth, but because of the so-called three obediences and four virtues, her pedantic thinking could not change her situation. Just like what Mother Xu said, once she married into the Sun family, she would have to share the ups and downs together.

"Are you threatening me?" Sun Shaohua couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up and walked towards Xiao Lan, looking at her in disbelief.

This woman used to be unable to speak clearly in front of me, but if I gave her a good face, she would be happy for three days. As my mother said, was Xiao Lan crazy?

"Xiao Lan, you're truly a hidden talent!" Sun Shaohua's eyes flashed with ferocity. He felt a little reluctant when he thought about letting Xiao Lan die. After all, Xiao Lan was a submissive person who would never disobey him no matter what he did.

But now I think I should have killed her sooner.

"Say something useful." Xiao Lan didn't want to waste any more time talking.

"Xin'er, if you want to raise him, then keep him! But you have to go and pay your respects to your mother every day. Don't neglect her!" Sun Shaohua didn't want to argue for the time being. Could she really control this terminally ill man? If they argued a few more times, wouldn't he still vomit blood and collapse? Could she really come back to life every time?

"As for the rest, there's no room for negotiation!"

He was talking about the property deeds and shop leases. The shop that came as a dowry was always collected by Butler Wang!

"Mother helped you with household chores because she understood your frail health. Now you want to..." Sun Shaohua wanted to say something like "I'm going to demolish the bridge after crossing it."

"Okay!" Xiao Lan was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and interrupted him.

"what?"

"I've agreed. I'll raise Xin'er myself and we'll talk about the other things later. Please go back. I need to rest!" Xiao Lan made a gesture to see the guest off.

Sun Shaohua swung his sleeves and left. When he reached the courtyard gate, he suddenly turned around and stared at Xiao Lan fiercely, "If you dare to make trouble in Mother's room again next time, I will make you die quickly!"

"As long as she doesn't mess with me," Xiao Lan said disdainfully.

Sun Shaohua wanted to curse again, but he didn't say anything. He snorted coldly and finally left.

Xiao Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief after Sun Shaohua walked away. She clenched her cold hands. This useless body needed to be properly treated. Thinking of the murderous look in Sun Shaohua's eyes just now, she had other plans in mind.

The reason why she gave Sun Shaohua some face was that she didn't want to push him too far. She had only been here for a day, and everything here was disadvantageous to her.

The deeds to the houses and lands were just a pretext to get Xin'er back. Given two options, most people would keep the more valuable one.

Now, the impression I give to everyone in this courtyard is that I am weak and terminally ill. The doctor has also given a certificate. Even if I suddenly die here, the Xiao family will have nowhere to seek justice and will have to pay back my dowry for nothing!

Thinking of this, Xiao Lan was furious! She hadn't signed the divorce agreement yet!
