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

"Madam!" Old Yu was holding a half-grown beggar in his hand. An unbearable smell came from his dirty body.

Xiao Lan glanced at the child in Old Yu's arms. There was nothing noticeable on the child's body except for his pair of bright eyes.

The little beggar was not convinced and struggled in Old Yu's hands, but he couldn't run fast.

"Who sent you this letter?" Xiao Lan took the note handed to her by Mr. Yu, which contained a few simple words.

"Five thousand taels of gold"

Just these few words, without saying where to send it or when to send it. The little beggar screamed "ah" but could not utter a word.

"Mute?" Xue Wu was a little impatient and reached out to pinch the little beggar's chin.

Old Yu pulled his hand back, and the little beggar was pulled back, and Xue Wu didn't touch him. He looked up at Old Yu in confusion, only to see Old Yu pinch the little beggar's chin with his other hand, and the little beggar started to curse.

"Let me go!" The little beggar's jaw was able to move, and he turned around to bite Old Yu. Old Yu raised his hand and threw him in front of Xiao Lan.

He used some skillful force, but the little beggar didn't seem to feel much pain.

The little beggar got up and stood up. He seemed to know Xiao Lan's identity and didn't dare to go too far. He tugged at his ragged clothes and said, "I'm only responsible for delivering a letter, so give me ten cents!"

He spoke confidently, but his eyes looked at the people in the room with a guilty conscience.

"I'll give you another ounce of silver. Tell me who delivered the letter."

Xiao Lan approached the little beggar and squatted down to talk to him. Xue Wu took a few steps forward, worried that the little beggar would be rude to Xiao Lan.

"I can tell you even if you don't give me money." The little beggar raised his eyes and glanced at Xue Wu. He was not stupid. Anyone here could take his life, let alone this Captain Xue.

"Okay, tell me!" Xiao Lan tried to remain calm. It was impossible for her to say she wasn't anxious. The kidnappers could ask for money, or they could tear up the hostages and then ask for money. No matter what, she would pursue any clues.

The little beggar reached out to take the cakes that Jasmine had brought to Xue Wu. Seeing that no one stopped him, he stuffed them into his arms and said, "It's a letter from a child."

A child? Everyone looked at each other in surprise. How many times had this letter passed through so many hands?

"What kind of kid?" Su Ze came in from the door and no one noticed him. He was followed by Fang Qingqing and Master Cui. Fang Qingqing walked behind Xiao Lan as soon as she entered the door.

Xiao Lan didn't have time to pay her respects to Su Ze, she just wanted to hear how the little beggar would answer.

The little beggar saw that Su Ze had an extraordinary demeanor, which was incomparable to anyone else in the room, so he didn't say a word.

"Just a fat boy with a gray face."

"Fat boy? What is he wearing? Like you? What does he look like? As tall as you?" Xiao Lan seemed to have discovered something. She ignored the dirt on the little beggar's body, grabbed his weak shoulders with both hands, her fingertips pinched white, and her voice could not hide her anxiety.

The little beggar was pinched so hard by Xiao Lan that he was in pain. He didn't bother to answer and just wanted to break free. Fang Qingqing hurried forward to support Xiao Lan, "Madam..."

Xiao Lan seemed not to hear her voice, and only stared at the little beggar's eyes, afraid to miss any abnormality, "Think carefully!"

"Madam Sun..." It was the first time that Su Ze saw Xiao Lan so anxious. He knew that this matter concerned her child and no mother could remain calm.

Su Ze came to Xiao Lan's side, watching her hand trembling slightly on the little beggar, and he inexplicably placed one hand on Xiao Lan's. His hand was warm, making hers seem even colder, and the joints that were raised by the force pierced Su Ze's palm like thorns.

Xue Wu looked at the two of them, feeling a tightness in his chest. He reached out and grabbed the little beggar's collar, pulling him out of Xiao Lan's control. Of course, because of Su Ze's sudden reach, Xiao Lan loosened her grip. She wanted to break free, but Su Ze had already retracted his hand.

She straightened up, her face ashen, "Why don't you let me ask!" She was already very restrained, but her voice was still trembling. She spoke the few words very slowly, and the anger in her eyes could not be concealed.

"It's not that I don't allow you to ask..." Su Ze wanted to explain, but he felt that something was wrong in Xiao Lan's eyes. This anger should not be directed at him, but Xiao Lan regarded him as that person.

"Madam..." Fang Qingqing also noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Lan. She quickly stepped between the two of them, holding Xiao Lan's shoulders and making her look at her. "Calm down..."

Xiao Lan stared at Su Ze stubbornly. She knew he was not him, but she couldn't control herself, especially at this time.

She had previously taken her sisters and their children to Disneyland, and Su Ze had gone with them. The floats were crowded, and the children squeezed forward, only to see the person disappear. She and her sisters frantically searched for him, running around in circles. Su Ze simply followed her silently, expressionless. Xiao Lan asked him to go to the information desk and use the radio to look for him. Su Ze didn't refuse, but Xiao Lan could tell from his unhurried back that he didn't care and was impatient.

Fortunately, the child was found later, but she still had a big fight with Su Ze because of this matter. Su Ze did not explain from beginning to end, but just said in a calm tone: "I was wrong." His eyes were full of tolerance for Xiao Lan's "unreasonable behavior".

Master Cui leaned against the door with his arms folded, tilting his head and looking at Xiao Lan coldly. He seemed to have thought of something, lowered his head and smiled, then raised his head expressionlessly.

"...I am not him." Su Ze's voice was so soft that if you didn't see his mouth moving, you wouldn't be able to hear it.

Xiao Lan saw what he said, and Fang Qingqing heard it too. Xiao Lan paused, the anger in her eyes losing its target, and her strength suddenly drained away. She lowered her eyes, and the arm that had been struggling with Fang Qingqing also dropped.

Fang Qingqing turned around and glanced at Su Ze, not knowing what she meant, but Su Ze didn't care.

Xiao Lan turned around and returned to his seat, no longer speaking. He also pulled Fang Qingqing to his side and squeezed her hand, applying increasing force intermittently.

Jasmine watched all this silently, knowing that there was no place for her here, so she might as well prepare something to comfort her wife. As she was leaving, she happened to see Master Cui. She glanced at Master Cui out of the corner of her eye, bowed softly, and then left the hall.

The little beggar looked at the crowd and knew that he couldn't run away now, so he had to say everything he needed to say.

"My Lord... Madam..." He stood in front of Su Ze, "That fat kid is about half a head shorter than me, this tall." The little beggar gestured in front of his nose, "The clothes he wears are just rags, you can't tell anything..." He paused, as if thinking of something, "He's very white, he doesn't look like he's been begging all the time."

After the little beggar finished speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Master Cui standing behind him. He looked at him coldly, and then seemed to remember something, "There's a scar on the child's neck. It looks like it's just rotten, and there's a little blood..."
