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

It was already late at night, and the streets of South City were quiet. The autumn wind was tearing at the few remaining leaves on the trees, and the clouds in the sky were also driven by it to move faster.

Xiao Xuan was attracted by a strange noise and wanted to look up, but he resisted the urge to do so!

He quickened his pace and finally returned to the restaurant exhausted. When he passed by his father's room and saw that the light was still on, he asked softly at the door.

"Father, I'm back."

After a while, a light cough was heard in the room, "Cough cough... Go to bed early after coming back. I seem to have a cold, so I won't go to the shop tomorrow." Xiao Zongwen's voice was a little weak.

"Cold? Is it serious?" Xiao Xuan said as he was about to push the door in, but found that the door was bolted from the inside.

"It's okay. I've asked Lao Jin to call a doctor tomorrow. Just take care of your own business and get some rest. I'm going to rest too." Xiao Zongwen had no intention of opening the door from inside.

Xiao Xuan watched the candlelight inside the door go out, and he didn't ask any more questions. He and his father were not that close to each other, and many times they were not as close as he and Uncle Fan.

"Okay, then Dad, have a good rest." Although he was used to this, Xiao Xuan still felt a little lonely.

He pushed the door open and walked into his room, which was very dark. Just as he was about to light the oil lamp, he suddenly felt a chill touch his neck, and he was startled.

"who!"

"Shopkeeper Xiao is surrounded by beauties every day now, and has forgotten me..."

Before the person behind him could finish his words, Xiao Xuan had already turned around, ignoring the danger from the sword.

However, Liu Yue, who was holding a sword behind him, was frightened and quickly put the sword away.

"Are you stupid? You can't turn back with a sword at your neck!"

"Yueyue!" Xiao Xuan didn't care about anything else and hugged her in his arms. "Why are you here? Did you receive the letter I wrote to you?"

"No, I don't have time to read your sour letter!" Liu Yue pouted and buried her head in Xiao Xuan's neck, "I'm just worried about you!"

"Why are you worried about me coming here alone?" Xiao Xuan was reluctant to let the person go, so he held the person and asked questions.

Liu Yue was a little shy, but luckily the lights were off. "Yes, I came here alone. Please let me go. I have something to ask you!"

Xiao Xuan let the person go reluctantly, but he still closed the door and turned on the light. The two of them finally sat down and talked properly.

"It's too unsafe for you to run this far alone! Don't be fooled by the bustling atmosphere here, it's actually treacherous. I just saw a figure running on the rooftops!"

"Who would run on the roof?" Liu Yue suddenly thought of her second brother who went out for something at night.

"I didn't see it. In fact, I didn't dare to look. I just heard the sound! Without you in this South City, I dare not provoke others. You didn't come to save me when I was beaten!" Xiao Xuan took Liu Yue's hand and held it in his own hand to warm it.

"It's so cold in autumn. You come to see me so late at night. What if you get cold?"

"Come on, do you still have time to care about me? I see so many beautiful girls in your shop hanging around you every day, you are so busy!" Liu Yue pretended to pull her hand back, but she thought that Xiao Xuan was not as strong as her, and if she really pulled it back, there would be no one to warm her hands, so she pretended to pull it back and then gave up, but her mouth pouted again.

"Did you see everything?" Xiao Xuan smiled awkwardly. He was not as elegant as he was in front of outsiders, but he was not at all elegant in front of Liu Yue.

"Well, I've been here for several days! I deliberately didn't come to see you, and followed my second brother around the city to eat and drink delicious food! Anyway, you don't miss me!"

"Of course I miss you. I miss you so much. If my father hadn't watched me work in the store every day, I would have written you ten letters a day. Unfortunately, I can only write one letter a day now!" Xiao Xuan saw that Liu Yue was just pretending to be angry with him, so he slowly moved his head closer. With such a tall stature, he didn't feel uncomfortable nestling on Liu Yue's shoulder.

Liu Yue felt goosebumps all over her body when she saw him acting like a spoiled child, but she still lowered her head and stared into his eyes, pretending to be angry.

"I see you always look very serious and good-looking in front of those girls, but why do you act like this when you are around me? Are you only showing your good appearance to outsiders? You are showing me this shameful appearance?"

"This is the real me, only for you to see!"

Xiao Xuan never thought that he could like someone so much.

When he met Xiao Lan as a child, he thought that if he liked someone, he would scare her, wait until she was in tears, and then he would act like a hero in front of her. But at that time, Xiao Wu was there, so it was not his turn to be a hero.

It wasn't until he met Liu Yue that he realized he couldn't bear to scare someone he loved. Besides, he couldn't scare her at all. She was a small girl, but she had great abilities.

Liu Yue could hold a torch to scare away wild animals, and comfort him not to be afraid, and just like that, she brought him out from the depths of the forest when he was lost.

From then on, the boy had a desire to wait for her to grow up.

He was already seventeen or eighteen years old at that time, and Liu Yue was only twelve years old. But in his heart, Liu Yue was not like a child at all, but a female knight!

"That's enough! Are you here to sell cloth for your business in Nancheng? Is there anything I can help with?" Liu Yue gently pushed him away. In order to accommodate Xiao Xuan's tall stature, she had to straighten her shoulders for him to lean on, which was really tiring.

"There's nothing I can help with. My father is watching over me every day and never lets me have any time to rest. I can only work hard to sell cloth. But..." Xiao Xuan sat up straight and looked at Liu Yue seriously, "I don't want to win. I want to go back and go to Beidu with you! I promised your mother that I would not take you away from Beidu!"

Liu Yue reached out and smoothed Xiao Xuan's messy hair. "It's okay. You have things you need to do. If you really can't leave, I'll come to see you often. I don't want to embarrass you!"

"I'm not embarrassed. I didn't want to stay here anyway. It was my father's idea to go back to the Xiao family. I'm not him! No matter we win or lose, I will accompany you back to the mountains to celebrate the New Year!" Xiao Xuan always had an inexplicable yearning for Liu Yue's home.

That was a warm place he had never been able to visit since he was a child. Although Uncle Fan would accompany him to do some fun things, they would eventually return to that cold house together.

His grandmother never liked him, and his father was also very cold to him. Besides teaching him business and regulating his behavior, they never really cared about him. He even didn't know his birthday until Uncle Fan told him.

But he could understand it. After all, his mother died of complications during childbirth, and he accepted his father's resentment towards him.

But no matter how much he understands, he also has an instinctive desire for warmth. Therefore, Liu Yue's protection of him and his mother Liu's care for him are the greatest warmth he has felt since he was a child.

"Okay, then, let's go celebrate the New Year in the mountains. So, are you going to win or lose this time?" Liu Yue always felt that Xiao Xuan, despite being so much older than her, always acted like a child, loving to act coquettishly with her. He always loved to nestle his large body against her, and she always imitated her mother, comforting and caring for him. She could sense that Xiao Xuan relied heavily on her, which was why she was so worried this time that she followed him all the way here.

"My opponent is also a strong character. I am just following the routine, but they are taking me by surprise. It is said that the business over there is very good now, and the people who go to buy things are all generous. Maybe I really can't compete with them." Xiao Xuan's tone did not sound disappointed, but rather a little excited.

"If you can't compete, then so be it. Selling cloth isn't your thing anyway! I've already told Mother I'll stay here with you for a while. Mother told us to go back before winter so the roads won't be slippery!"

"Really?" Xiao Xuan's eyes lit up.

"Do you think I would really come out for you?" Liu Yue curled her lips and smiled. "When you're done with your work, I'll take you to meet my second brother. He's also a very straightforward person, you'll definitely like him. My eldest brother is missing, it's not good for him!"

"Your eldest and second brothers who ran away from home are here?" Xiao Xuan had heard of these two characters, but when he met Liu Yue, her two brothers had already run away from home.

Liu Yue was still a little shy about the fact that her second brother was a bandit, so she didn't tell Xiao Xuan everything.

He only said that his two brothers left home when they were teenagers, joined the army and came to South City, and stayed here. He didn't elaborate on other things, and Xiao Xuan didn't ask any more questions.

Xiao Xuan just felt that it was a great joy that Liu Yue was here with him, and her brother could take care of her and would not let Liu Yue feel wronged because of his busy schedule.

This was the first time he felt so happy since coming to South City.

She wanted Liu Yue to stay with her, saying that she could sleep on the small bed beside her. But Liu Yue refused, saying that if her second brother knew about it, Xiao Xuan's physique would make him throw him out like a rock.
