Dressed as a vicious stepmother, farming and raising cubs

"Foolish work?" Shen Luochen's eyes flashed coldly and he sneered, "Compared to the man behind the scenes, I'm afraid I'm not as good as one ten thousandth."

As soon as he finished speaking, there were already screams in the dungeon.

Su Liu stood nearby and was shocked as he watched the secret guards use those instruments of torture on living people.

"Are you afraid?" Shen Luochen stood beside her at the right time, and his tone became gentle again.

Su Liu swallowed and shook his head decisively.

It wasn't that she was afraid, or that she hadn't seen bloody scenes before, it was just that the torture instruments were used too cruelly, which made her feel very immersive and made her feel a little scared.

But she would not sympathize with the enemy because she knew that if she and Shen Luochen were caught, they would end up in the same fate.

This kind of life-and-death fight cannot be soft-hearted.

When Shen Luochen saw this, a flash of admiration flashed in his eyes.

Then he walked to the cell and signaled the secret guard to stop:
"If you don't reveal the mastermind behind this, I will have someone execute you every day. You can take your time and bear these 36 punishments."

Shen Luochen's voice was devoid of any emotion, like the Jade-faced Yama from hell.

Several prisoners sat on the ground, breathing heavily. Due to the extreme pain, large amounts of cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

The leader suddenly raised his head and glared at Shen Luochen:
"Even if I die, I won't let you get what you want! When I get underground, I will come to seek revenge on you again!"

After he finished speaking, his expression suddenly became extremely ferocious, a large amount of blood poured out of his mouth, and a "gurgling" sound came out of his throat.

"He wants to commit suicide!" Su Liu shouted anxiously.

Shen Luochen obviously noticed something strange, and quickly reached out to stop him, but it was too late. He saw the man fell to the ground, and after a few struggles, he lost his life.

Almost at the same moment, the other prisoners followed suit.

In the blink of an eye, there were only a few corpses scattered on the ground.

Su Liu's whole figure seemed to have just been struck by lightning, and he was stunned on the spot. What happened in front of him was really shocking.

She didn't expect that the matter would end in such a tragic situation, and she couldn't imagine what kind of determination could make someone die so calmly.

Shen Luochen's expression was also very complicated. He looked at the people on the ground, sighed, and said to the secret guard behind him:

"It's just a man. Let's find a place to bury him."

The secret guards received the order and quickly began to clean up the mess.

On the way back, Su Liu was still thinking about the scene over and over again. He still found it incredible and couldn't help but sigh:
"How capable is your enemy? The people under his command are so loyal."

Unexpectedly, when Shen Luochen heard this, he just shook his head:

"If they don't die, or if they tell the truth, their families will only die in a more miserable way."

Su Liu was stunned again, recalling what Shen Luochen said just now.

It turns out that he was not praising the loyalty of these people, but admiring them for being able to sacrifice their lives for their families without hesitation.

"It's too despicable to threaten your family." Su Liu was a little angry.

But Shen Luochen shook his head very calmly and said only four words:

"It's been like this since ancient times."

Su Liu looked at his calm look, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed in his mind. Could it be that the secret guards around Shen Luochen are also...

But she quickly rejected her suspicion. On weekdays, Shen Luochen was very good to them. Those secret guards really cared about him, and they would care about her and his children. This was definitely not like this. The look of being threatened.

Maybe he has other ways to win people's hearts.

For the first time, Su Liu intuitively felt the cruelty of ancient political struggles, and finally understood how complex and dangerous a huge whirlpool he was involved in.

The two of them were silent all the way, and it was already evening when they returned home.

Hearing the commotion in the yard, several little cubs ran out to greet them:

"Dad! Mom! A guest is coming!"

Hearing what the children said, Su Liu and Shen Luochen were both stunned. They didn't expect that someone would come to the door at this time.

When I walked into the house, I saw that it was a servant from Yuelaiju.

When he came, Shen Luochen and Su Liu were not at home, so the children enthusiastically called them in to wait.

Seeing Su Liu come in, the boy stood up from his chair, grinned and said:
"Boss Su, let me send a message to my boss. He is hosting a banquet at Yuelaiju tonight. I hope Boss Su can appreciate it."

Then, his eyes drifted to Shen Luochen aside and added:
"Of course, including my husband."

Hearing this, Su Liu felt a little surprised. Boss Jia had never interacted with Shen Luochen before, so why did he even invite him together.

But so many things happened during the day today, and she was really tired, so she gave the boy a polite smile and prepared to refuse.

"Thank you boss for your kindness. I'm afraid it's a little late today."

There was a look of embarrassment on the boy's face, and his tone was a little anxious:
"Today's banquet is specially prepared for Boss Su. If Boss Su doesn't give this face, I really can't do anything!"

Su Liu was even more surprised. It was specially prepared for herself. She couldn't even guess what medicine Boss Jia was selling in his gourd.

However, since he said this, she naturally couldn't shirk anymore, so she could only nodded and said:
"Okay, you go back and tell your boss first, we will arrive later."

The boy then smiled again and left happily.

After he left, Shen Luochen asked:

"When we are gone, who will take care of the children?"

Su Liu looked down at the cute and well-behaved dolls. After thinking about it, he simply waved his hand and said:

"Then just take them all with you!"

"Would it be inappropriate..." Now Shen Luochen began to hesitate.

"Boss Jia is quite generous, and he held the banquet just to get close to me and build friendship. Maybe he will be happier if I bring the children." Su Liu waved his hand, dispelling his concerns.

After the two simply packed up, they took the children and set off.

Inside Yuelaiju, it was as lively as ever. The banquet was held in the lobby on the first floor, surrounded by guests. Most of them were merchants from this street. There seemed to be a lot of decorations added to the hall, and there were several red hangings hanging from the ceiling. hydrangeas.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Su Liu always felt that Yuelaiju was extra... festive today.

Boss Jia and Du Jiaohong were sitting on the left and right of the host's house. Seeing Shen Luochen and Su Liu come in, they quickly stood up:
"The distinguished guest has finally arrived!"
