Bian Ruohan caught up to Lu Heng and tugged at his sleeve. She insisted, "There must be a secret door or a cellar in this residence. My men saw her enter this door with their own eyes. There's no mistake about it! Uncle, if you believe me, you'll know once you search! "
Looking at Bian Ruohan's round eyes, Lu Heng pushed her hand away in disgust.
"I've already believed you once. I broke the rules by barging into a private residence for no reason. If I believe you again and turn the house upside down, I won't be able to absolve myself from the blame if that family can't bear the humiliation and hangs themselves! Don't continue to cause trouble! "
"Why would they hang themselves?! Besides, they're just small commoners. You're an official, Zhong Yibo. Why can't you … "
"Shut up!" Lu Heng coldly reprimanded, "If you say such things to ruin my reputation again, I'll lock you up and never let you take a step out of your room!"
Bian Ruohan clenched her fists. Her shoulders trembled, and the veins on her forehead bulged. She gritted her teeth so hard that they creaked. Seeing Lu Heng leisurely board the carriage, she strode after him and pushed Lu Wenru away. She climbed into the carriage and squeezed herself next to Lu Heng.
"What if I told you to come here today to catch me cheating? Are you going to lift up the floorboards of this house to take a look?! "
Lu Heng leaned back to avoid Bian Ruohan's face. "What nonsense are you making!"
"Tell me! You're just biased towards her. Even if she really cheated on you, you don't want to know the truth! Surnamed Lu, I didn't expect you to be such a coward! "
"Shut up."
"If you're not a coward, why don't you dare to search? You're simply … "
Slap!
A loud slap echoed from the carriage. The people outside the carriage kept quiet out of fear.
Lu Heng used a lot of strength in this slap. Bian Ruohan's mouth split open and half of her head went numb. Her ears rang and she saw stars.
"I'll tell you." Lu Heng grabbed Bian Ruohan's collar and dragged him to the front. He emphasized every word he said, "Don't you dare cause any more trouble. I've already made a mistake by believing your nonsense today. I won't believe your one-sided words in the future. You're such a vulgar and ignorant woman. I should really divorce you!"
Bian Ruohan's pupils constricted, and he shouted vaguely, "How dare you!"
"You've already committed seven crimes by doing this! If I divorce you now, neither your family nor Your Majesty will have anything to say. Tell me, why wouldn't I dare? "
Bian Ruohan felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head. Even his palms and feet were cold.
She just wanted to be pampered more. She wanted Lu Heng to love her wholeheartedly. Was that wrong?
She had already found the Qin Clan's adulterer, so why did Lu Heng refuse to search for him?
Or was there really no one hiding here?
Lu Heng had brought so many subordinates. They couldn't be acting to deceive her, right?
So, did she get the wrong information?
Did Bian Tong lie to her?
Bian Ruohan finally calmed down and began to suspect Bian Tong. Bian Tong was already drenched in cold sweat. He tried his best to hide in the crowd, afraid that the Earl and Bian Ruohan would notice him.
Bian Ruohan sat in a daze and finally calmed down.
He sat up straight and said indifferently, "This matter ends here. If you mention it again in the future, I'll divorce you immediately. Before we got married, I heard that you were gentle and demure. You're the best at needlework. In the future, you'll stay in the residence and embroider. Don't go out if there's nothing important. "
Bian Ruohan pursed her lips. Tears streamed down her face. She kept repeating in her heart, "Why? Why?" But she dared to open her mouth and question him again.
She suddenly reflected that she had been too confident. She shouldn't have shown her true nature in front of Lu Heng. She shouldn't have treated her husband like her own parents. She shouldn't have said what she thought so honestly.
She now understood that even if he was her husband, their relationship had to be built slowly. It was just like how she had to please her grandmother in the residence. She had to show her best side in order to win her heart.
How stupid! How could she be so stupid!
Bian Ruohan grabbed her hair with both hands. She regretted it now, but it was too late! Lu Heng was already talking about divorcing her and slapping her in the face. After they consummated their marriage, she didn't have the chance to get close to him again …
She shouldn't have been so stupid …
Bian Ruohan really regretted her actions. She had never been so wronged in her life. For a moment, tears streamed down her face. She choked on her words and almost fainted from crying.
Lu Heng closed his eyes and rested. He pretended that he didn't see or hear anything. He regretted listening to Bian Ruohan's one-sided story today.
Today, he had brought his privately trained martial arts master to protect the courtyard and trespassed into someone else's residence. If Pang Xiao used this incident to attack him, he was afraid that he would have to spend a lot of effort to clear his name.
The incident hadn't happened yet, but Lu Heng knew that Pang Xiao had been holding a grudge against him. He was waiting to catch him red-handed at any time. They were political enemies and also love rivals. Since Pang Xiao knew that he had feelings for Qin Yining, how could he let him off with his domineering personality? He was already racking his brains to think of how to deal with the aftermath.
Towards Bian Ruohan, Lu Heng's disgust had already reached the extreme.
Lu Heng's team gradually left the residence and soon disappeared into the rain.
In an inconspicuous alley in the corner, Qin Yining slowly rolled up the car window. He patted his chest and let out a long sigh.
Shi Fang lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone would overhear him. "Hall Master, has Zhong Yibo left?"
Qin Yining nodded with lingering fear. "Yes, he has. Fortunately, we came out in time. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable. "
"Yes. Fortunately, Hall Master Qiu informed me in time. Otherwise, I would have died! "
Shi Fang knelt down and kowtowed three times to Qin Yining.
Qin Yining hurriedly helped him up. "Don't be so polite. We are all brothers."
Shi Fang sat up straight and cursed through gritted teeth. "That son of a bitch Lu Xiong! I didn't expect him to be such a person. He disregarded his brothers for glory and wealth and almost got me killed! If I don't get my revenge, I won't be able to let it go for the rest of my life! "
Qin Yining shook his head and sighed. "Now that we've fallen to this state, it's really tragic. However, it won't be easy to get revenge. Lu Xiong knows where the treasure is and is already Zhong Yibo's favorite. We have to be careful. Zhong Yibo will definitely keep a close eye on Lu Xiong, afraid that he will leak the secret. Even if we want to get revenge, we can't get close to him!"
Shi Fang gritted his teeth. "That's the truth. At the end of the day, it's all Rong's fault that I've fallen to this state! If it weren't for him being so meddlesome, how could we have died? Only Lu Xiong and I are left! Do you think that Rong has nothing better to do? He has a high position and a good salary, so he can enjoy himself. Why does he have to hold on to us and not let us go?
"And that Qin b * tch, she's not a good person either! If she hadn't betrayed the Qingtian Alliance and sided with the imperial court, how could we have smuggled the treasure? If it weren't for the treasure, that b * tch wouldn't hate us so much and wouldn't have asked her man to avenge her!
"At the end of the day, that wretched couple is in cahoots with each other! They're both lackeys of the imperial court! If I let them off, I won't be able to live in peace for the rest of my life! "
Shi Fang gritted his teeth and looked at Qin Yining pleadingly. "Hall Master Qiu, can you think of a way to arrange for me to enter the prince's residence?"
Qin Yining narrowed his eyes and concealed the coldness in them. "Enter the prince's residence? It's not impossible. The prince's residence must have some sort of purchasing matter. What do you plan to do? "
Upon hearing that there was a way to enter the prince's residence, Shi Fang's eyes lit up and revealed an ominous glint. He clenched his fists tightly. "I want to sneak in and kill that wretched couple! Once I kill them, I'll escape to a faraway place. Since I've already killed the two of them in the prince's residence, there won't be anyone to catch me in the first place. I'll be able to escape to a faraway place!
"Hall Master Qiu, please help me! In the jianghu, we have to fight for our dignity! Back then, we were chased all over the place by them. How many of our brothers died tragically? How many of our brothers died with their eyes wide open? Even I had to hide in the cellar like a mouse for so long. I really can't take this lying down! "
Qin Yining pursed his lips slightly, then smiled and nodded. "That's true. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to take this lying down either. "
"That's right, that's right!" Seeing that Qin Yining was tempted, Shi Fang hurriedly pressed on. "There might be a lot of rare treasures in the prince's residence. I can bring one or two out on the way and we can split them later! Hall Master Qiu has taken care of me for so long. I also want to repay you a little. "
"Brother Shi is truly a loyal and righteous man!"
"You're too kind."
"Alright, since Brother Shi wants to take the risk, I'll fulfill your wish."
Qin Yining's words had a double meaning. He smiled and said, "Let's go and settle down first. I'll come and pick you up when I'm done."
"Thank you, Hall Master Qiu." Shi Fang cupped his hands and thanked him.
Qin Yining ordered the carriage to head directly to the outskirts of the city. He smiled and said, "I have a residence in the outskirts of the city. There are all kinds of servants there. You can live there immediately. Moreover, it's hidden so no one will discover you."
"Yes, Hall Master Qiu is so thoughtful." Shi Fang smiled and nodded.
The carriage headed straight to the outskirts of the city in the rain. The further they went, the more sparse the population became. In the distance, they could vaguely see a village behind a forest.
Qin Yining pointed at the village and smiled. "That's the place."
Shi Fang nodded, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Qin Yining opened the window and ordered Jing Zhe to go to the farmstead in front of the house.
Jing Zhe had already heard the conversation in the carriage from outside and was trying to guess Qin Yining's plan. When he heard Qin Yining's order, he immediately responded cautiously and looked at Qin Yining questioningly.
Qin Yining raised the corner of his lips and sneered. The murderous intent in his eyes was not concealed at all.
Jing Zhe's heart skipped a beat. He vaguely understood Qin Yining's plan.
The carriage had already passed through the forest and turned from the official road to a small road.
Many days of rain had made the ground very muddy. The wheels of the carriage sank into the muddy water.
Qin Yining and Shi Fang swayed in the carriage.
Xiao Xue and Da Han, who were sitting at the door, opened the door and asked outside, "What's going on?"
