Bian Ruohan rushed in front of Lu Heng and slammed his hands on the table. His eyes shone with excitement as he leaned forward and stared at Lu Heng.
"Uncle, I found the Qin Clan's adulterer!"
Lu Heng's face instantly darkened. "What nonsense are you causing now!"
Bian Ruohan's eyes widened. "I'm just telling the truth! I really did find the Qin Clan's sweetheart's residence! If you don't believe me, you can immediately send someone over and catch them in bed! "
"Why should I believe you when you're spouting such nonsense? If you want to go, then go yourself. "Lu Heng said impatiently," Someone, take Madam back to rest. "
"Yes." Lu Wenru lifted the curtain and entered, but she didn't dare to pull Bian Ruohan away. She could only say, "Madam, please?"
Bian Ruohan pushed Lu Wenru hard and said angrily, "Why won't you believe me? If I didn't have any evidence, why would I accuse her of having an affair? I know she has a special place in your heart, but you have to believe me! "
Lu Heng looked coldly at Bian Ruohan. He was so irritated that he wanted to strangle him to death.
Bian Ruohan refused to get angry. "Even if you don't believe me, you can still go and see if I'm telling the truth. You're devoted to her, but she rejected you on the surface and secretly had an affair with someone else. Would you rather be kept in the dark and be deceived by her? Don't be deceived by her sanctimonious appearance. She's just a piece of gold on the outside and rotten on the inside! "
Lu Heng looked at Bian Ruohan for a long time before smiling gently. "What are you after, huh?"
Bian Ruohan was angry and anxious. He said loudly, "I just don't want to see you being deceived by her! I'm your first wife, but you're only thinking about that b * tch. If she's a good person and you're thinking about her wholeheartedly, then I'll just admit that I'm unlucky. Who told me to be inferior to her? But she's just like that. She acts one way in front of you and another way behind your back. She's just playing with you! "
Lu Heng fell into deep thought.
Although Bian Ruohan wasn't very smart, she was narrow-minded and liked to stir up trouble. However, she was able to insist on such a big matter. Previously, he didn't believe the rumors she made up, but now, she had found the place where the adulterer lived.
If she were to lie about this matter, wouldn't she be exposed as soon as he arranged for someone to go?
So what Madam Bian said might be true?
Lu Heng hesitated.
When Bian Ruohan saw Lu Heng's hesitation, he knew that he was halfway to success. He hurriedly said, "Don't you want to see how you are inferior to that adulterer?"
This sentence was like a knife stabbing into Lu Heng's heart.
He could not compare to Pang Xiao, that country bumpkin. If Qin Yining really had a lover outside but was not willing to accept him, then wouldn't he be worse than a bodyguard?
Thinking of this, Lu Heng stood up and smiled. "Since that's the case, then lead the way."
Bian Ruohan's eyes lit up and he excitedly nodded. "Okay!"

In a courtyard in the southern part of the city, Qin Yining was talking to Shi Fang.
"… If you're not willing to believe me, then there's nothing I can do. I came here today to give you a piece of news. Lu Xiong has indeed betrayed us and wholeheartedly sided with Zhong Yibo. Not only did he hide the whereabouts of the treasure and whet Zhong Yibo's appetite to give him benefits, he also revealed you in order to consolidate his position in front of Zhong Yibo. I think Zhong Yibo will soon order someone to take your life to prevent you from revealing the secret of the treasure! "
Shi Fang's forehead was covered in sweat. He was very unwilling to believe Qin Yining's words, but he had been worried about this matter for the past few days. If he was in Count Zhongyi's shoes, he would also do everything in his power to tie himself to the other party's side, making himself an important person. Following such an influential person, his future path would be even more spacious.
These people had done all kinds of things in private. When it was necessary to achieve their goals, it was not a big deal to kill a few people.
It was not nice to say that they would betray their brothers.
However, the true glory and wealth were right in front of them. They could obtain it as long as they stretched out their hands. Who would give up such a good opportunity?
Shi Fang pursed his lips and paced back and forth with his hands behind his back.
Qin Yining's mouth was dry from talking, but the other party was still hesitating. She could not help but feel anxious.
She was worried that Lu Heng would come, but she was also worried that if Lu Heng did not come, her plan would fail.
It would be good if Lu Heng really listened to Bian Ruohan and came here. However, if Lu Heng came too early and trapped her here, that would not be good.
Therefore, she had to quickly take Shi Fang and leave this place.
"It's okay if you don't believe me. You can leave with me first. I received news that Zhong Yibo will bring people to capture you very soon. Let's go hide first. If Zhong Yibo doesn't come, then it's my fault for being narrow-minded. If he really does come, then you won't have to suffer if they capture you. Even if you listen to me and it's a false alarm, it's still better than being captured, right? "
Shi Fang finally nodded when he heard this. "Hall Master Qiu is right. It's just a matter of taking a few steps. There's no need to take this risk."
"Exactly." Qin Yining could finally relax. He hurriedly said, "Then let's leave quickly. I need to set up this place properly so that we won't be caught. "
"Okay."
Since he had made his decision, Shi Fang did not hesitate any longer. He quickly packed his clothes and left with Qin Yining.
They did not dare to go through the main entrance. Instead, they went through the back courtyard's side door. When they exited, they saw an old woman walking in with two young ladies.
Qin Yining explained, "It's such a big house. There must be someone living here. I specially found someone to live here."
Shi Fang said in admiration, "Hall Master is so thoughtful." If we just left like this, wouldn't it raise suspicions? "
"That's right."
The group exited through the back door and turned a corner to leave the alley. They then drove the carriage to a secluded corner to hide.
Qin Yining carefully opened the window a crack and looked out. He turned to Shi Fang and said, "Let's stay here and watch. If Zhong Yibo doesn't come, then my information is wrong. But if he comes, then we can no longer trust Lu Xiong in the future. We also need to be on our guard to prevent Zhong Yibo from killing us. "
Shi Fang nodded solemnly.
The two of them waited for a while before they heard the sound of horse hooves and carriage wheels in the rain. Not long after, they saw two carriages and dozens of burly men braving the rain to come over.
These men were all very strong and wore dark blue robes. They wore bamboo hats on their heads and straw raincoats on their shoulders. They all held sticks in their hands.
When Shi Fang saw the other party's posture, he couldn't help but shudder. He lowered his voice and said, "If Hall Master hadn't come in time, I'm afraid that I would have been trapped in this house! Thank you, Hall Master, for saving my life! "
Shi Fang repeatedly cupped his hands and bowed to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining shook his head and said, "Let's keep watching."
Lu Heng got off the carriage and took the oil paper umbrella that Lu Wenru handed to him. When she turned around, Bian Ruohan had already alighted from the carriage with the help of her maidservant. Holding an umbrella, she stepped on a wooden stool and quickly walked in front of Lu Heng. She pointed at the door and said, "It's here!"
Lu Heng's face darkened and he silently raised his chin.
Lu Wenru immediately understood and went to knock on the door.
Lu Heng said, "I'll listen to you this time. If what you said is true, then I'll let it go. But if you're fooling me, then I won't let you go."
Bian Ruohan's face turned red with anger. She stomped her feet and put her hands on her hips. She said in a shrill voice, "If that bitch isn't here to steal men, I'll take my head off and let you kick it like a ball!"
Lu Heng didn't like her vulgar appearance, so he didn't say anything.
At this time, the sound of someone answering the door came from the courtyard. The side door was opened, and a stooped old man with white hair and a white beard looked at Lu Wenru in confusion. "Who are you looking for?"
Lu Wenru turned around to look at Lu Heng. When she saw Lu Heng nod, she immediately waved her hand without saying a word.
The dozens of men holding clubs rushed into the residence like a gust of wind.
The old man on the gatehouse was so frightened that he screamed and retreated in a panic.
The men rushed into the residence and split up. Some of them even opened the front door.
Lu Heng and Bian Ruohan entered the residence through the front door and stood still in the front yard.
Not long after, the sound of sobbing could be heard from the residence. The men pushed out an old woman, two young girls, and several servant girls.
The old woman was crying loudly, and the two young girls were sobbing in fear.
"Who are you people? Why are you trespassing on private property! I'm going to tell the authorities! Let me go … … "
The old woman struggled as she was brought in front of Lu Heng.
Lu Heng's expression was cold. He looked at the old woman and the two young girls and asked, "Is there anyone else in this residence?"
Lu Wenru said, "We've already searched everywhere. Everyone is here."
Bian Ruohan's face was deathly pale. He anxiously said, "That's impossible! They must be here. Did you not search to your heart's content? Or is there another place in this residence where someone could be hiding? "
The old woman burst into tears. "Who the hell are you people? What's the point of bullying us orphans and widows! "
When the old woman cried like this, the two young girls and several servant girls also began to sob.
The courtyard was full of women and children crying. Lu Heng bringing dozens of men in was simply the behavior of a bully.
Bian Ruohan still didn't give up. He went forward and grabbed the old woman. "Speak! Where is the Prince Zhongshun's consort hiding? If you confess, I can let you go. If you don't, you'll suffer! "
"I, I, I don't know what consort you are! Who are you? Why did you come to my house and spout nonsense! "
Bian Ruohan shook the other party's shoulder. "Speak the truth! Where did you hide her! "
"Enough." Lu Heng grabbed Bian Ruohan by the collar and pulled him away. He raised his hand and waved.
Lu Wenru immediately understood and ordered everyone to leave. He then took out an ingot of silver and stuffed it into the old woman's hands.
"We're just investigating a case. If we've disturbed you, please forgive us."
Lu Heng had already turned and walked out.
Bian Ruohan looked at Lu Heng, then looked at the old woman. He stomped his feet in dissatisfaction. "Search carefully again, or you can ask the neighbors. I definitely didn't see wrongly!"
