The visitor saw the old doctor and felt that he did not seem to be lying. He threatened and bribed him a few more times, but he did not notice anything unusual. There was indeed no one in the room, so he had to go back to report.

After everyone left, the old doctor locked the door and listened carefully to see if there was any movement outside. Then he returned to the room, walked to a cabinet, opened the secret door, and saw a small room with only a bed and a small table. There was a person lying on the bed.

"Has the visitor left?" Liu Xiu asked dejectedly as he lay leaning against the bed, holding in his hand a white silk handkerchief embroidered with a plum blossom and a line of small words.

When he put the silk handkerchief to his nose, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance on it, just like the faint fragrance he smelled on the woman when his consciousness was blurred before. He couldn't tell what the fragrance was, but it seemed to be the woman's body odor, lingering at the tip of his nose.

The old doctor was quite respectful and said, "Mr. Liu San, the man who came here is not the woman who brought you here before. I have already sent him away. It seems that he has no suspicion."

The old doctor followed Liu Xiu's instructions carefully. If it was the woman who came, he would go to greet her. If it was someone else, he would use another excuse. After all, the person who came might not be the woman, but could be an enemy or a soldier, so he had to act with caution.

"That's good..." Before Liu Xiu could finish his words, a figure flashed in from the door. His pale face looked even worse and his body was a little tense.

The old doctor also noticed it at this time, and came a few steps to Liu Xiu with a guarded posture, obviously wanting to protect Liu Xiu's safety. The old doctor also felt a little ashamed and regretful, because it was not cautious enough that people became suspicious.

The man who came had no intention of touching them. He had come here on the orders of Han Yu. Han Yu had instructed that whether to leave or stay was entirely up to Liu Xiu's will and he would not force them. The reason why he turned back was that he felt that there was something wrong with the old doctor and that he was not honest. He was afraid that the old doctor had bad intentions. Now it seems that is not the case. The old doctor looks like Liu Xiu's man.

"You don't need to be so defensive. My master asked me to come here just to ensure Mr. Liu's safety. He has no other intention. Since Mr. Liu is willing to stay and is not forced, I can go back and report. Goodbye." After the man finished speaking, he left immediately without any intention of staying, which shows that he really had no ill intentions.

Liu Xiu looked a little ashamed. "I was a mean person after all, but in this world, with the situation outside so tense, I had to act cautiously, so I resorted to this last resort."

"Third Young Master, don't feel guilty. We don't know the background of that person either, so it's better to be careful."

"You are right, but my benefactor did not leave his name, so I don't know how to repay him in the future." Liu Xiu's tone was somewhat annoyed and regretful. He was unable to take care of himself at this time, and Xinye was not his sphere of influence. He could only go back and ask his brother-in-law to find out. No matter what, he had to know who the benefactor was.

"Third Master, please ask me to inform our Master so that we can make arrangements early. After all, I am not very safe here. I am afraid that sooner or later, soldiers will come to search. It will be dangerous then. After all, this secret room is not too secret. Someone with a keen eye can still find it."

"Okay, you notify your brother-in-law as soon as possible and let him pick me up. As for the other people in the Deng family, don't let them know for the time being." Liu Xiu didn't trust the people in the Deng family very much. Although he was related to the Deng family by marriage, this little bit of affection was nothing in the face of interests. The family was big, with all kinds of people in it, and their interests were not the same, except for his brother-in-law Deng Chen. Firstly, Deng Chen was his biological brother-in-law, and secondly, he believed in Deng Chen's character. He was betrayed this time, so he was hunted here. If he hadn't been lucky and met a benefactor who rescued him, he would probably be dead by now.

When Han Yu heard his subordinates come back to report, he was not very surprised to learn that the old doctor was Deng Chen's man. The Deng family has been doing business here for so many years, it is normal for them to have such connections. In fact, Qiluo has some relationship with the Deng family, so the old doctor would hide the person with him.

Since Liu Xiu himself refused, Han Yu had no intention of trying to save him. Even if Han Yu admired Liu Xiu, it was mostly because of his good friend Deng Chen. He did not know about his past life as Su Wenyue did, and he knew that Liu Xiu finally ascended to that position. In fact, he did not know Liu Xiu at all.

As for the matter of rescuing people, Han Yu did not plan to let Liu Xiu know now. He had to wait and see the situation. Wang Mang's momentum in the court was too strong, and the arrest of the Liu brothers was ordered by Wang Mang himself. The person above that Balang mentioned was probably Wang Mang's subordinate. Mainly, Han Yu did not trust Liu Xiu so much now. Getting involved with such a "rebel" would cause big trouble. He could not compare with the Deng family in terms of power and background. As long as the people above could find evidence of him, they could use him at any time. Therefore, he had to be cautious and careful in doing things and could not make any mistakes.

Su Wenyue was also indifferent when she learned the news about Liu Xiu from Han Yu. No matter how Liu Xiu reacted, she only cared that things went on the established track and not deviate from the original route, otherwise she would feel too insecure.

Han Yu felt relieved when he saw that his wife didn't care that much. Even though he knew that his wife saved the man for his sake, he didn't want her to care so much about another man.

In the afternoon, they received an invitation from the Deng family, inviting them to a banquet, but Han Yu sensed something unusual from it.

Originally, the Deng Mansion was going to hold a banquet, which was not surprising. It was just that it was moved forward one day from the date they knew, which seemed a bit rushed. Even if people were not so particular about the New Year, they would have to notify them two or three days in advance. The sudden change of time made people who knew the situation think more, especially after the incident with Liu Xiu.

No matter what they thought, Han Yu and Su Wenyue went to the banquet on time the next day. As soon as they arrived at Deng's house, they met Ye Xinxin.

Ye Xinxin was quite friendly with Su Wenyue when she saw her. If you didn’t know them well, you might think they were very familiar with each other. In fact, it was only their second meeting.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Sister Yue, when I came here, I was thinking of going with you. You know I hate those women who like to talk nonsense the most. They are full of tricks and their heads are full of twists and turns. They are so annoying. It's better to be as clear as you. Besides, you are so beautiful and pleasing to the eye. You will have a better appetite when eating." Ye Xinxin said with a smile while holding Su Wenyue's arm, with a greedy look on her face.

Whenever Su Wenyue saw Ye Xinxin like this, she found her particularly cute. This girl really suited her personality. She dared to love and hate, which was what she wanted to do but couldn't do. However, it didn't stop her from being happy. Just when she was about to make a few jokes, she looked up and saw a beautiful woman walking towards her.
