Chapter 258 Husband, let's get a divorce!
Tang Bugui cracked melon seeds, his sarcasm reaching its peak.
A cold glint appeared in his eyes as he thought about the hardships his daughter might have endured.
But the smile on his face grew even brighter.
The two people inside the house had no idea that someone outside was watching their disheveled state with a smile on their face.
"Bai Lian, tell me, how many things have you done behind my back all these years?!"
Lan Feng looked at Bai Lian with a gloomy expression in his eyes.
He thought of the things his wife had said to him before.
All the tenderness turned into knives, stabbing his body once... twice.
Lan Feng stared intently at Bai Lian, unable to understand why he hadn't been good enough to her.
He wanted to see the woman; her eyes were full of confusion and pain.
Bai Lian's face was slightly pale, her body was trembling, she bit her lip, and her eyes held a strange emotion.
She looked up at Lan Feng, whose cheeks, which had just undergone strenuous exercise, were flushed with an unnatural redness.
"I... Husband, let's get a divorce!" She didn't know how to explain, so she gritted her teeth and said it directly.
Lan Feng staggered, feeling as if he had been hit by a block of ice.
He stared at Bai Lian in disbelief. At this moment, she was actually asking him to divorce her...
"Bai Lian, how dare you say such a thing? Divorce?" Lan Feng, his eyes red, grabbed the long sword from the ground and held it to Bai Lian's fair neck.
"Haha, I, Lan Feng, only know widowhood, not divorce..."
He squinted, the long sword in his hand already slicing through Bai Lian's veins.
The scarlet blood appeared even more vivid and eerie in this Buddhist hall.
Bai Lian bit her lip hard as she met Lan Feng's murderous gaze.
"Lan Feng, if you let me go, I can tell you where Xiao Su Bao was sent..."
Bai Lian suddenly spoke, her voice carrying a strange emotion.
She looked at Lan Feng, waiting for his answer.
Lanfeng treats Xiaosubao differently.
He didn't like Xiao Su Bao, but he didn't want anything to happen to her either. Sometimes, when he secretly looked at Xiao Su Bao, his eyes were filled with complicated emotions, which was hard to understand.
Bai Lian was gambling, gambling on this man's affection for his sister and his feelings for Xiao Su Bao...
Lan Feng's hand holding the longsword trembled slightly. He stared intently at Bai Lian, his voice trembling slightly.
"You mean Xiao Su Bao isn't dead..." Lan Feng stared at Bai Lian. If she dared to lie to him, he would definitely kill this bitch!
Bai Lian and Lan Feng had been married for many years, so how could she not know what Lan Feng was thinking?
Her heart was ice-cold, but she nodded nonetheless.
“She didn’t die, and…”
Bai Lian paused here, her gaze falling on Lan Feng.
When Xiao Su Bao was around before, he didn't like to hear about her or even see her.
But now, Xiao Su Bao is missing, possibly dead, yet he wants to find her instead.
It's quite ironic, really!
Bai Lian looked at Lan Feng, waiting for his answer. Lan Feng pursed his lips, his face grim, and finally moved the longsword away.
"Fine, as long as you tell me where Xiao Su Bao is, I promise you, I can divorce you!" Lan Feng said, a ruthless glint in his eyes.
He has been an official for so many years, and he has never been just kind; if that were the case, he would probably be dead long ago.
If Bai Lian is telling the truth, that's fine; but if she's deceiving herself...
Countless women in the inner quarters died of illness...
"As long as you give me the divorce papers, I'll tell you where Xiao Su Bao is now..." Bai Lian looked at Lan Feng and finally said.
Lan Feng squinted, about to speak, when he saw a dark figure appear at the doorway.
He immediately looked over warily, but instantly lost consciousness!
Tang Bugui and his two companions simply took Bai Lian away!
When Lan Feng woke up, the Buddhist hall was empty!
At the door, Bai Lian's personal maid walked in.
She pushed open the door and saw Lan Feng, who had just sat up.
The maid's expression immediately changed, and she glanced around but couldn't find her mistress!
Thinking about what happened yesterday, could it be that the son-in-law discovered the affair between the young lady and the young master?
The maid trembled slightly when she saw the bloodstains and broken wood chips on the ground.
Lan Feng turned to look at the maid, who was so frightened that she immediately knelt down.
"Young Master..." The maid's face turned pale, and she quickly kowtowed to Lan Feng.
Lan Feng was momentarily dazed. He lowered his eyes and focused his gaze on the little maid.
“Xiao Tao…” Lan Feng squinted at Xiao Tao.
"Where is Bai Lian? Where did Bai Lian go?" Lan Feng stared at Xiao Tao with cold eyes and asked in a gloomy tone.
Xiao Tao was also full of doubts. She lowered her head and dared not raise it, but her voice came out: "This servant does not know. This servant did not see Miss when I came in!"
Lan Feng trembled slightly. He slowly stood up, still gripping his longsword.
"Did you already know about Bai Lian and General Xiaoqi's affair?" Lan Feng lifted Xiao Tao's chin with his longsword.
Xiao Tao looked at her son-in-law, whose eyes were bloodshot, and her face turned deathly pale with fright.
She wanted to explain something, but thinking about the matter between the young lady and the young master, she dared not speak.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll send you to a brothel…” Lan Feng said, his eyes half-closed.
"This servant...this servant doesn't want to go to a brothel, please spare me, young master!" Xiao Tao was so frightened that she knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly until her head was bleeding.
"This servant truly doesn't know where Miss has gone, Miss and Young Master... this servant doesn't know either! Young Master, where has our Miss gone? Please, please, spare our Miss and this servant!"
"Someone come here!" Lan Feng shouted from the courtyard.
In an instant, several rough-looking old women and servants came over.
Lan Feng said calmly, "Have the butler call everyone in the house over!"
He wanted to get to the bottom of Bai Lian's matter...
Moreover, he suspected that it was that valiant cavalry general who secretly returned in the middle of the night and took Bai Lian away!
He could abandon the woman who betrayed him, but he absolutely needed to know anything about Xiao Su Bao…
On the other side, Tang Bugui and Guard Ling brought Bai Lian back to the General's Mansion.
Bai Lian was now on the verge of death...
She told Tang Bugui and the others everything she knew about Xiao Su Bao!
Tang Bugui's men could easily torture and interrogate a woman.
"I've told you everything I know. When are you going to let me leave?" Bai Lian lay on the ground, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Tang Bugui.
This man is a devil from hell!
Tang Bugui looked at Bai Lian with a cold smile in his eyes.
"Where is my daughter now?" Tang Bugui asked Bai Lian coldly.
Bai Lian trembled as she spoke, enunciating each word clearly: "She was sent to a village by Granny Zhang!"
Tang Bugui's hand trembled, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at Bai Lian with a hint of inquiry.
His eyes have seen countless people, and Bai Lian has been tortured, so she probably wouldn't dare to lie to him!
"Continue!" he said coldly, looking at Bai Lian.
"The dead child was another old woman's granddaughter. Old woman Zhang survived by chance and did not return to the capital..."
Bai Lian paused for a moment, her complexion improved somewhat, and then she continued to speak.
"I only secretly contacted his son. His son liked my maid, and accidentally drank too much, so he told my maid about it..."
Bai Lian originally thought that Granny Zhang was dead, but unexpectedly, Granny Zhang was lucky and survived. She knew that this was actually caused by her mother-in-law.
The whole point was to kill Xiao Su Bao, so that no one would compete with her daughter for the identity...
Hearing these words, Tang Bugui finally felt relieved.
After he and Shuyu get married, he will go to find his daughter and make up for everything he owes her.
Tang Bugui looked at Bai Lian with a cold glint in his eyes.
"Then tell me, how have you treated my daughter all these years..."
Tang Bugui said softly, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
According to the information he gathered, Bai Lian was usually very cold towards her daughter.
That's not all, but she always insists on showing a gentle demeanor in front of Lan Feng.
Lan Feng gives Xiao Su Bao a monthly allowance, but not a single penny of it ends up in Xiao Su Bao's hands.
Bai Lian's expression changed slightly, and she clenched her fists a little tighter.
"If I'm not good to her, then no one in the entire Lan family is good to her. No, there is one, only Lan Lao Er. He's a little better to Xiao Su Bao, but that's all!"
"Tang Bugui, don't you understand that all of Lan Shuyu's problems are caused by you men? Xiao Subao's problems are all the work of the entire Lan family!"
Bai Lian curled her lips into a mocking smile.
She cheated on him, but what about Lan Shuyu?
Bai Lian looked at Tang Bugui: "Why didn't you let someone propose marriage? Since you did that kind of thing, you should have known what might happen!"
"If you had married her sooner, perhaps none of this would have happened!"
She looked up, struggling to see Tang Bugui's face.
"And Tang Bugui, are you really that sure the child in Lan Shuyu's belly is yours?"
Tang Bugui narrowed his eyes, and Guard Ling's face darkened as he walked directly to Bai Lian.
Bai Lian's body trembled slightly, and she immediately asked, "Do you know why Lan Shuyu died back then?"
Tang Bugui's pupils suddenly contracted, and his body involuntarily stood up.
Seeing Tang Bugui's appearance, Bai Lian's expression changed repeatedly, and she felt inexplicably happy.
Lan Shuyu has finally met her match!
