Exile after Divorce? Empty the Scumbag Husband First!-Chapter 409 - 349: After All... He Was Once an Uncle

Chapter 409: Chapter 349: After All... He Was Once an Uncle

One careless mistake could cost a life here, yet not far from this place in Wenchang, this group of high-ranking officials and nobles is indulging in revelry, completely oblivious to the hardships of the common people.

If what Li Si said about Liu Shu is true, then Qin Fu is really overreaching by deliberately planting someone by her side.

One could only say that this person is deeply scheming, just like Wen Yuan and the others, all villains and scoundrels in this book.

Just as she was thinking of this, someone approached their private room.

Ruan Mian and the others quickly bowed their heads, exuding respect, looking no different from the servers beside them.

However, when the new arrival got close, they were all taken aback.

Because this person was none other than Liu Shu, whom they were looking for!!

The current Liu Shu was nothing like the one they had seen in Wuheng, no longer appearing simple and unadorned. Rather, he was dressed in luxurious clothes like the people inside, and his every gesture was that of a high-ranking official.

He walked into the private room with his chin held high and a swaggering gait. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

As soon as he entered, the group at the wine table began to flatter him profusely.

"Mr. Liu has finally arrived, our wine was waiting and got cold, please sit down."

"Indeed, I specifically asked Li Jun to wait for you, knowing Mr. Liu’s favorite Oiran is Li Jun, she is here today just for you."

Facing their flattery and compliments spoken one after another, Liu Shu laughed heartily and responded politely.

"Thank you all for waiting."

Then he even saluted Qin Fu: "Godfather, you’ve waited a long time as well. Everything has been handled as you instructed, and those goods have all been transported to the warehouse."

Qin Fu nodded with satisfaction, inviting him to sit: "Well done, as expected of the godson I’ve acknowledged. Here, have this top-tier Hundred Flowers Brew first."

Liu Shu quickly reached out to take the cup of wine, his eyes reddening slightly as he drank it down in one gulp.

Standing at the door at this moment, Cui Zhu was trembling uncontrollably.

She never thought that the reality would turn out to be just as Li described.

On the way, Cui Zhu had imagined various outcomes and combined them with every little bit of memory she had of Liu Shu; she inclined more to the thought that her husband must have encountered some difficulties.

Perhaps he was being threatened, or perhaps there was another hidden truth behind the hijacked goods.

The worst outcome was nothing as bad as this.

But when she saw Liu Shu’s completely different side, Cui Zhu almost couldn’t stand still.

Ruan Mian was the first to notice something was wrong, and she supported Cui Zhu’s arm.

Her bright eyes stared directly at Cui Zhu.

As if reminding her of something.

But who could understand Cui Zhu’s state of mind at that moment?

She only felt the blood in her entire body rushing in reverse, with countless emotions and rage piling up in her chest.

Her eyes were bloodshot.

Her gaze was fixed on the wine table, watching how Liu Shu flattered Qin Fu and received compliments from others.

His every smile and gesture looked familiar, yet he was completely different from the Liu Shu she knew in Wuheng.

If not for the identical face, Cui Zhu wouldn’t dare to believe the man before her was her husband with whom she once exchanged vows.

Recalling the bodies of her brothers seen along the canal, and Li Si’s return with serious injuries to report, Cui Zhu felt a lump choking in her throat, unable to vent out.

Unknowingly, tears streamed down her face.

Ruan Mian saw the sudden tears drop to the ground and quickly squeezed her hand, saying in a low voice.

"Zhu’er, don’t forget what you promised me."

Cui Zhu bit her lip hard, vividly remembering the promises she made when leaving home.

She was trying hard to console herself, not to act impulsively, and especially not to do anything rash that would disrupt the lady’s plan.

The lady agreed to bring her along, heading straight here upon arriving in Wenchang City, clearly having a plan in mind.

As things quieted down, inside, Liu Shu embraced the beautiful Oiran, affectionately sniffing her scent. Teasing while responding to Qin Fu.

"Godfather, there is one who luckily escaped and hasn’t been found yet. I’ve already sent people to Wuheng, in case..."

Qin Fu waved his hand dismissively: "It’s nothing to worry about, a lucky escaped cripple can’t stir up much trouble. As long as we have this batch of goods, it won’t be a problem."

"Also, you’ve been in Wuheng for so long, did you get a clear understanding of their situation?"

Liu Shu replied fluently: "Of course. That Ruan Mian is indeed extraordinary, perhaps the most remarkable woman I have seen."

"When she married my cousin, I even went to the Qi Mansion for the ceremony and banquet. Back then, she seemed like a timid little girl."
