My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official

"I……"

Lu Yunqing did not hide it, put the silver ingot on the table and explained: "My mother's family sent someone to deliver something to me, and I went to get it."

"How many hours will it take to get the things?"

"We were just chatting for a while, I didn't remember the time."

Zhao Liuyun asked again: "If it's a gift, why don't you come to the mansion? Why do you ask you, a pregnant woman, to go out and get it?"

Taking a closer look, I saw that the bag was indeed filled with heavy silver ingots. I wonder how she got it back?

"Young Madam must know that something happened in my mother's family. The servants must have avoided suspicion because they were afraid of causing unnecessary trouble to the Li Mansion."

If it were Lu Yunqing back then, she would definitely not be so humble in front of Zhao Liuyun. But in the past six months or so, her edges and corners have been smoothed out a little, and Zhao Liuyun is not like those people who bully the weak. He is very good to her and the child in her belly.

Zhao Liuyun stared at her quietly for a while, then stood up and said, "My husband will be back soon, just in time for you to give birth. Since you are in a heavy state, don't walk around, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."

Hearing the news that Li Qi would be back soon, Lu Yunqing's eyes suddenly turned red, and she nodded repeatedly: "I will be fine! I will definitely give birth to the baby safely!"

"That's good."

Zhao Liuyun did not stay in Qingxinju for long, and a large group of maids left with her.

Lu Yunqing looked at her leaving figure, then looked back at her empty yard, and swore secretly that as long as Li Qi came back, as long as she gave birth to the child, it would be fine!

The next day was about to dawn.

Lu Yunqing found the little maid who delivered the message that day and threw out two silver ingots, shocking the maid so much that her eyes widened.

"Mrs. Lu, where did you get so much money?"

"Help me check some information. After the matter is done, I will give you two more pills. How about that?"

The maid happily accepted: "Auntie, please call me Taohong."

"it is good……"

Lu Yunqing leaned over and whispered a few words in her ear. Taohong saw that it was not a difficult task and readily agreed.

At this time, in the Dali Temple.

Lu Huaihe caught the person who poisoned Mingchun and specially called Su He to listen to the interrogation.

The man kneeling in the hall was a dark-skinned man in his thirties or forties. He was weeding in the fields when he was arrested. He confessed to the crime of poisoning.

"Why did you want to kill Mingchun?"

Hanzi explained: "I don't know her name. Someone told me to poison her, so I did. I don't know why."

When the wake-up stick sounded in the hall, Lu Huaihe looked grim, thinking that his words were a bit absurd, and asked, "Who told you to poison?"

"I... I don't know who he is. He covered his face and said he would give me ten taels of silver and ask me to do something. I had to go for the money, otherwise I would have no money to buy medicine for my wife."

Hanzi's face looked somewhat simple. Qingyun and his colleagues did a background check on him before he was arrested. It turned out that he only made a living by farming and he did have a seriously ill wife.

Lu Huaihe asked several questions in a row, but he just kept answering "I don't know". His confused expression showed that he really didn't know.

At a loss of what to do, Su He asked, "Is that man's arm disabled?"

Han Zi nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, yes! It's wrapped around my right or left wrist!"

Liu Jinglei.

Since he was the one who ordered it, he must have done it to clear Liu Qiuqiu's escape route and to kill her to silence her.

"Do you know who it is?" Lu Huaihe glanced at her sideways.

"I guessed it, but it's not a good time to arrest him now."

"Why?"

Su He looked back, his smile not reaching his eyes: "Because, I am using him."

If Lu Yunqing wants to investigate Liu Qiuqiu's affairs, she will inevitably have to deal with Liu Jinglei. Both of them are not people who can tolerate being bullied, so it depends on who is more powerful.

As for Lu Yunqing...

Su He doesn't want to be a good person.

She just hoped that Lu Yunqing would not have the chance to be a mother.

After coming out of the Dali Temple, Su He received news that Lu Yunqing had sent people to investigate Liu Qiuqiu's background.

Pei Xia said, "That girl named Tao Hong only knows how to ask the neighbors of the Liu family. I am afraid of alerting them. Should we help her?"

"Of course. Go and tell Taohong everything we know, and she will bring the news back."

"it is good."

Lu Huaihe handed Qingyun over to Su He, but some things were a bit over the top if Qingyun was in charge, so Qingyun assigned them to two of her subordinates.

This way, she had two more spies, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Lu Mansion.

Weirui Pavilion sent someone to Ting Yuxuan to ask Liu Qiuqiu to come over and talk.

I think Liu has come to her senses.

Liu Qiuqiu went to Weirui Pavilion as she wished. As soon as she stepped into the door, she found that Lu Yunqing was there again.

The day before, she came with a big belly and came back alone, which made Liu Qiuqiu feel very distressed.

When I saw him again today, the fabric of the clothes he wore was much better and he seemed calmer, not as irritable as the day before.

"Sister-in-law is here."

Lu Yunqing called out sweetly, but Liu snorted coldly and didn't respond.

In the past, the title of sister-in-law would make Liu Qiuqiu so happy that she couldn't sleep for three days. But now, she just felt it was redundant and irritated. She wanted to get rid of this title as soon as possible, and it would be best if she had nothing to do with anyone in the Lu Mansion!

"Your belly is getting bigger, so stop walking around all the time. You should stay in the Li Mansion and take care of your baby."

Liu Qiuqiu sat in the chair beside her, calmly and calmly.

Lu Yunqing couldn't tell anything from her face, so she asked indirectly, "What a coincidence, I recently saw a man who looked 50% similar to my sister-in-law. This isn't unusual, but he often hangs out in the Lu residence, so I found it strange. He even joked with my grandmother. Could he be my sister-in-law's brother?"

Liu Qiuqiu's face froze, and she was about to explain when she heard her continue.

"I remember my eldest brother once told me that my sister-in-law has no relatives to rely on, and no siblings to help her, so when he first saw her, he wanted to be her backer. Now a brother suddenly appears out of nowhere, isn't it too unbelievable?"

After she finished speaking, she suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, and quickly took Liu Qiuqiu's hand and explained softly: "Sister-in-law, you think I'm talking too much, please don't mind it. I really haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know what to do for a while."

Liu Qiuqiu naturally would not argue with her and smiled lightly: "You are too kind. This is your home, you can say whatever you want."

She turned her head to look at Liu and asked with pretended concern: "Grandma, have you drunk the ginseng soup today? Your health is getting worse and worse, so you must make up for it!"

"As long as you are in this house, just treat me as dead." Liu snorted coldly.

Liu Qiuqiu thought that Liu sent someone to call her because she wanted to ease the relationship with her, but she didn't expect that they would still confront each other in this way? She immediately understood that it must be Lu Yunqing who instructed her to come.
