After rebirth, my elder sister wants to steal my husband!

Chapter 260 Escape!

Fu Yuzhang stood by the window, looking at the dark night sky, his heart full of confusion and uneasiness.

What secrets does this box hide? Why did this strange man come here late at night? And is the disappearance of his wife and Zhang Xiangxiu related to this box?

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but he still couldn't figure it out. He knew that he had to calm down and carefully analyze all the clues to find the key to solve the mystery.

Fu Yuzhang returned to the Fu Mansion and went to the study. He put the box on the table and looked at it carefully.

Suddenly, his finger touched a small raised spot, and with an idea in his mind, he tried to press it down gently.

There was a slight "click" sound, and the lid of the box slowly opened, revealing a piece of paper inside.

There are words written on it.

Fu Yuzhang's heart skipped a beat. He held his breath and carefully took out the paper.

I'll see you in three days, and you'll have to choose between your wife or your concubine.

Upon hearing this, Fu Yuzhang's heart sank.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes were gleaming with anger.

Damn it, how dare you threaten him like this!

He couldn't imagine who would be so bold as to make such a threat to his family.

Except that Ding Liang.

……

In the courtyard owned by Ding Liang, a breeze blew, bringing a hint of coolness and a faint scent of flowers.

The peach tree in the yard has already blossomed with several clusters of flowers, alternating between pink and white, like the cheeks of a young girl, shy and bright.

Zhang Xiangxiu sat beside the low table by the window, holding a porcelain bowl in her hand. The bowl contained some ordinary home-cooked dishes. Although simple, it was colorful, fragrant and delicious, which greatly increased people's appetite.

She was wearing a light blue long skirt, the hem of which swayed gently in the wind, like a soft cloud. A white jade hairpin was inserted diagonally in her bun, making her look elegant and refined. Her face was as serene as water, and her eyes were as deep as autumn water, as if they could see into people's hearts.

Ding Liang walked into the room, his steps were light and powerful, as if every step was on the beat. He was wearing a green robe and a jade belt around his waist, which made him look elegant and heroic. He had a handsome face and a heroic look between his eyebrows, which made people dare not underestimate him.

He walked up to Zhang Xiangxiu, his eyes stayed on her for a moment, and a playful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and magnetic: "Miss Zhang, you are really bold. Coming to me, aren't you afraid of any threats?"

Zhang Xiangxiu raised her head and looked into Ding Liang's eyes. There was no trace of fear in her eyes, but instead a firmness.

She smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Ding, you are joking. Although I am a woman, I also know the truth that 'no venture, no gain'."

"If I don't have some courage, how can I dare to step into this mansion? How can I dare to cooperate with you?"

Ding Liang was slightly stunned, as if he did not expect Zhang Xiangxiu to answer like this.

The smile on his face deepened a little, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.

He turned and walked to the table, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and slowly said: "Miss Zhang is indeed extraordinary. No wonder Fu Yuzhang has been interested in you for so many years."

If Lu Zhiran hadn't appeared, Fu Yuzhang would have been controlled by Zhang Xiangxiu for the rest of his life.

Zhang Xiangxiu put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, stood up, and walked to Ding Liang. She looked at the blooming peach blossoms outside the window and said softly, "Mr. Ding, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary woman who just wants to live a peaceful life."

"I just want to be with Yu Zhang and continue like before."

Ding Liang turned around and stared at Zhang Xiangxiu with burning eyes.

What a woman who is crazy about love!

"That's right. It's worth my cooperation with you. I believe that in three days, we can get satisfactory results."

Just then, a servant rushed in.

"Oh no, Master!"

"Mrs. Fu, Mrs. Fu knocked Qing'er unconscious and ran away..."

Zhang Xiangxiu's face suddenly changed when she heard this, and the porcelain bowl in her hand almost slipped. She quickly calmed down and looked at Ding Liang, her eyes full of anxiety.

Ding Liang was also surprised, and then his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking of a countermeasure.

"How could it be, Mr. Ding, how could Lu Zhiran escape?"

Lu Zhiran was allowed to escape twice this time. Are all the servants of the Ding family useless?

Zhang Xiangxiu bit her lower lip tightly, with a hint of anxiety on her face.

She knew very well that Lu Zhiran's escape would undoubtedly be a huge variable for the entire plan.

At this time, Ding Liang was also pacing back and forth anxiously in the study.

He was tall, with a stern face, and his black robe made him look even more majestic. However, at this moment, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were flashing with anger.

"Waste!" Ding Liang angrily kicked the servant who ran in. The servant stumbled and fell to the ground, grimacing in pain but not daring to make a sound.

"Tell me! How could Lu Zhiran escape? What are you all doing for a living!" Ding Liang shouted angrily, his voice echoing in the study, as if it would shake the whole room down.

The servant was so scared that he was shaking all over and stammered, "Sir, I don't know. This afternoon, I went to deliver food to Miss Lu, but I found the door was wide open and she was gone. I looked everywhere for her but couldn't find any trace of her."

Ding Liang became even more furious when he heard this. He slammed the table so hard that the teacup on the table jumped up and the tea splashed everywhere.

His eyes widened and he shouted, "Go find him quickly! If you can't find Lu Zhiran, none of you will survive!"

The servants were so frightened that they immediately retreated and scattered in all directions, looking for Lu Zhiran.

When Zhang Xiangxiu saw this scene, she opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

Suddenly I couldn't say anything.

At this time, Lu Zhiran was hiding in an abandoned woodshed in the backyard of the Ding Mansion.

Her face was pale and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

In the past few days, the porridge brought in by the maid Qing'er was filled with sleeping pills, fearing that the longer we stayed here, the worse things would get.

Lu Zhiran could only knock Qing'er unconscious when she wasn't paying attention and escape.

She knew she had nowhere to escape, but there was an unyielding fire burning in her heart.

Lu Zhiran took a deep breath and calmed herself down. She looked around and found a dilapidated window in the corner of the woodshed. She decided to escape from there.

She pushed the window open carefully, and a gust of cold wind immediately rushed in. She shrank back, but still gritted her teeth and went out.

She knew she was in danger, but she couldn't care less.

Under the cover of moonlight, Lu Zhiran quietly bypassed the guards of the Ding Mansion and came to the door.

However, just as she was about to escape over the wall, she was blocked by a group of men in black.

"Ms. Lu, where do you want to escape to?" the leading man in black said coldly, his voice full of anger.
