Lu Heng felt a wave of irritation. Bian Ruohan only cared about crying and quibbling, pushing away all the wrongdoings. It was truly disgusting. Before questioning Bian Ruohan, Lu Heng had already investigated. Even Bian Ruohan had said that if Bian Ruohan hadn't hired wulin people to destroy the prince's residence, their family might not have encountered such a situation.
Lu Heng understood in his heart that the rioters had rushed in, robbed the property, and Qin Yining had said that she wanted to settle things privately with the Lu family and that she would compensate for the property. These were all excuses. It could be seen that Bian Ruohan really wasn't Qin Yining's opponent. This time, he had suffered such a huge loss in front of her.
Comparisons were really odious. They were both born and raised by parents, but how could Bian Ruohan be such a tiresome and vulgar woman?
In comparison, Qin Yining's intelligent methods were much more valuable.
Seeing that Lu Heng was deep in thought and didn't speak, Bian Ruohan couldn't help but feel nervous. Things had already reached this point. If Lu Heng wanted to use this as an excuse to divorce his wife, it wasn't impossible.
After all, this wasn't the first time she had experienced something like this. Back in the capital, Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, and the Empress all seemed to be angry.
Bian Ruohan shrunk her neck, becoming more and more afraid.
Unexpectedly, before Bian Ruohan could find an excuse to absolve herself, Lu Heng beat her to it.
"Alright, alright. How big of a deal is this? It doesn't matter if you win or lose when you quarrel with women. I didn't mean anything else just now. I was just lamenting. As long as this matter doesn't destroy my relationship with Prince Zhongshun, it won't affect our cooperation in handling Your Majesty's affairs in the future. "
Lu Heng explained what he had just said and smiled as he approached Bian Ruohan. "Do you feel bad for losing those things?"
Bian Ruohan had long been mesmerized by Lu Heng's handsome smile when he suddenly approached. He nodded honestly and said, "I, they are all my personal …"
"What are you afraid of? I'll make up for these things later. After that, they'll all be under your name. Just treat them as your personal belongings, okay?"
Such a gentle tone dazzled Bian Ruohan.
"But, but I, those things clearly shouldn't be compensated by the Earl …"
"It's just some small change. What do you want? Go to the family's storeroom and choose. Why are you crying and sulking over such a trivial matter? Aren't you afraid that others will feel sorry for you if they see you like this? "
Bian Ruohan's face flushed red. She couldn't help but feel a burst of joy in her heart. She was overwhelmed by the Count's favor.
"Count, I …"
"Alright, alright. Don't get angry over such a trivial matter. Later, I'll have someone pick out some things for you to make up for your deficit. Take whatever you like. "
Bian Ruohan coquettishly hugged Lu Heng's neck. "Count, I'm really overwhelmed by your favor. Do you like me very much?"
Lu Heng smiled and nodded. He hugged her to the door and loudly called for his attendant to bring Bian Ruohan to the storeroom.
After they sent her away. Lu Heng expressionlessly sat back down at the table.
Bian Ruohan had done something stupid this time. She wanted to harm someone but failed. Instead, she was tricked and her money was stolen. However, it was also because of this incident that Lu Heng saw the shining side of Qin Yining. It allowed him to grasp the unforgettable obsession in his heart.
This kind of yearning for a person, being able to receive news of that person every day, knowing how outstanding that person was, being seduced every day, but not being able to obtain that person, to Lu Heng, who had married a stupid wife that he didn't like at all, was like rain in the desert. It made him feel especially sweet and precious.
Lu Heng even hoped that Bian Ruohan would overestimate herself and make trouble for Qin Yining again. This way, he would have a chance to confront her openly and see how she did things.

In the evening, a banquet had just been set up in the front hall of the mansion.
Guan Dahu, Liu Ban, and the others were eating and drinking. They clinked glasses again. Only then did Liu Ban get up to check the surroundings.
"Big Brother, there's no one outside."
"Alright, then close the doors and windows. This damn weather, it's almost summer, but it's still as cold as winter," Guan Dahu said.
Liu Ban obeyed and went to close the doors and windows, blocking the wind and rain outside the room.
A few of the brothers laughed and joked, "Big Brother, you must be weak. Otherwise, why would you be afraid of the cold?"
Guan Dahu laughed and scolded. He then laughed and said, "You all heard what that woman said today. She's really vicious. She wants to use Zhong Yibo, but she doesn't dare to tell on him. Instead, she wants to use us brothers. Does she really think that we're idiots who don't know anything? "
"Bah! That woman is like a poisonous scorpion. If it wasn't for Big Brother being careful, wouldn't we have been fooled by her? "
Liu Ban picked up a jar of wine and poured a bowl for Guan Dahu. "Big Brother, what did you want to discuss with the brothers earlier that she interrupted you? Since there's no one else here, please continue. "
Guan Dahu looked at Liu Ban and then looked at the brothers. He laughed lightly and said, "We were disturbed by the Heifeng Stronghold incident and lost a large amount of silver. We also lost the opportunity to take the treasure away before the imperial envoy and the new county magistrate arrived. We were too anxious because of this."
"Ai! How can we not be anxious? The cooked duck flew away! "Liu Ban cursed.
Guan Dahu said, "These days, under the support of that little girl, we ate and drank well. Our lives were worry-free and we didn't have to worry about food. Therefore, I calmed down and thought about many things."
Speaking to here, Guan Dahu suddenly stood up and put his hands on the table. He said seriously, "Brothers, we risked our lives to steal the treasure, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. That Four-Way Shop woman isn't a good person. She said that after joining the association, we are brothers. However, we know in our hearts that in the future, she will definitely use us to get in touch with the Prince Zhongshun's Consort. But what are we? If the Prince Zhongshun's Yao Clan knows of our existence, won't they send people to destroy us? When the time comes, if we can't give the Qiu girl a referral, won't we have to face the Four-Way Shop sooner or later? "
Guan Dahu's words caused Liu Ban and the others to become serious. They couldn't help but think.
It was as Guan Dahu said. Although they ate and drank well, every step they took was like stepping on a needle.
"Big Brother, what do you think?"
"Yes, Big Brother, you have the most ideas.
”
Guan Dahu said, "I think that we brothers shouldn't think about the treasure."
"What? Big Brother, that won't do. "
"Yes, Big Brother. We worked so hard for so long, what was it for? How can we just say we don't want the treasure? "
Liu Ban and the others stood up angrily. They were so anxious that their faces turned red.
