Chapter 335 Dare to Love and Hate
The visitor saw the old doctor like this and felt that he didn't seem to be lying. He threatened and bribed him a few more times, but he didn't notice anything unusual. There was really no one in the room, so he had to go back to report.
After the visitor left, the old doctor locked the door and listened to the outside for no movement. Then he returned to the room, walked to a cabinet, opened the secret door, and saw a small room inside. There was only a bed and a small table inside, and a person was lying on the bed.
"Has the visitor left?" Liu Xiu asked while leaning on the bed. In his hand was a white silk handkerchief with a plum blossom embroidered on it and a line of small words.
Putting the silk handkerchief to the tip of his nose, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance on it, just like the faint fragrance he smelled on the woman when he was blurred before. He couldn't tell what the fragrance was. It seemed to be the woman's body fragrance, lingering at the tip of his nose.
The old doctor was quite respectful: "Reply to Mr. Liu San, the man who came is not the woman who sent you here before. The old servant has sent him away. It seems that he has no suspicion."
The old doctor followed Liu Xiu's instructions. If it was the woman who came, he would welcome her. If it was someone else, he would use another set of words. 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, he saw a figure flashing in the doorway. His pale face looked even worse and his body was a little tense.
The old doctor also noticed it at this time. He came to Liu Xiu in a few steps, with a guarded posture, obviously wanting to protect Liu Xiu's safety. The old doctor also felt ashamed and regretful. It was because he was not cautious enough that people suspected him.
The visitor did not intend to move them. He was originally here on Han Yu's orders. Han Yu had told him 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 seemed that this was not the case. The old doctor looked like Liu Xiu's man.
"You don't need to be so defensive. The master asked me to come here just to make sure that Mr. Liu was safe. He had no other intentions. Since Mr. Liu was willing to stay and was not forced, I can go back and report. Goodbye." The visitor left immediately after he finished speaking, without any intention of staying, which showed 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 outside world so tense, I had to act cautiously and resorted to this last resort."
"Don't feel guilty, Third Young Master. We don't know the background of that person, so it's better to be careful."
"You are right, but the benefactor didn't leave his name, and I don't know how to repay him in the future." Liu Xiu's tone was a little annoyed and regretful. At this time, he couldn't take care of himself, 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 inform our Master so that we can make arrangements early. After all, this place is not very safe. I am afraid that sooner or later, soldiers will come to search, and it will be dangerous. After all, this secret room is not too secret, and someone with a purpose can still find it."
"Okay, you inform your brother-in-law as soon as possible and let him pick me up. As for the other members of the Deng family, don't let them know for the time being." Liu Xiu did not trust the people of the Deng family very much. Although he was related to the Deng family by marriage, this little affection was nothing in the face of interests. The family was big, and there were all kinds of people in it, and their interests were not the same, except for his brother-in-law Deng Chen. First, Deng Chen was his biological brother-in-law, and second, he believed in Deng Chen's character. He was betrayed this time, so he was hunted down here. If he hadn't been lucky and met a benefactor to save him, he would have died by now.
Han Yu was not surprised to learn that the old doctor was Deng Chen's man after hearing his subordinates' report. The Deng family had been operating here for so many years, so it was normal for them to have such connections. Qiluo had some relationship with the Deng family, so they hid the old doctor with him.
Since Liu Xiu refused, Han Yu had no intention of saving him. Even if Han Yu admired Liu Xiu, it was mostly because of his good friend Deng Chen. He did not know about the past life like Su Wenyue did, and he knew that Liu Xiu finally ascended to that position. So he did not know Liu Xiu.
As for the matter of saving people, Han Yu did not intend to let Liu Xiu know now. He had to see what the situation would be like next. Wang Mang was now too powerful in the court, and the arrest of the Liu brothers was an order from Wang Mang himself. The person above that Balang mentioned was probably Wang Mang's subordinate. The main reason was that Han Yu did not trust Liu Xiu that much now. Being associated with such a "rebellious traitor" would cause big trouble. He could not compare with the Deng family, who had such power and background behind him. As long as the people above caught the handle, they could use him at any time, so he had to be cautious and careful in doing things, and there could be no meaningful omissions.
Su Wenyue was also indifferent when she learned about Liu Xiu from Han Yu. No matter how Liu Xiu reacted, she only cared about things going on the established track and not deviating from the original route, otherwise she would feel too insecure.
Han Yu felt much more comfortable when he saw that his wife did not care that much. Even though he knew that his wife saved people for him, he did not want his wife to care so much about other men.
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 one day earlier than the date they knew, which seemed a bit rushed. Even if they were not so particular during the year, they still had to give two or three days' notice in advance. Suddenly it changed. As time passes, those who know the situation will inevitably think more about it, especially after what happened to 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.
When Ye Xinxin saw Su Wenyue, she was very affectionate. She didn't know but thought they were familiar with each other. In fact, it was only the second time they met.
"Sister Yue, when I came here I was still thinking of accompanying you. You know I am most impatient with those women who like to be crooked. They are full of selfish ideas and their minds are filled with all those crooked things. It's so annoying, not as clear as my sister, and she's so beautiful, looks pleasing to the eye, and has more appetite for food." Ye Xinxin said with a greedy look on her face while stroking Su Wenyue's arm.
Every time Su Wenyue sees Ye Xinxin like this, she feels extra cute. This girl is really in line with her temperament. She dares to love and hate, which is what she wants to do but cannot do. However, it does not prevent her from being happy. She was about to make a few jokes. , raised his eyes and saw an outstandingly beautiful woman walking over.
