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

Seeing him walk into the room, Pei Xia made a pot of tea and asked him to leave.

"You're back? Were the thieves in the Goldfinch Tower caught?"

The Dali Temple has been busy with this matter in recent days.

Although the gang of thieves did not commit crimes in the capital, they fled from other places.

Lu Huaihe could have let his subordinates capture the person, but for some reason he insisted on getting involved personally.

Su He guessed that there must be some hidden story.

"They have all been arrested. They committed crimes all the way from Xunyang to the capital. Although they did not commit any more crimes along the way, they must be imprisoned because of the previous crimes."

Lu Huaihe said it with absolute certainty.

Su He noticed that there was an unquestionable determination in his eyes, as if trying and executing this group of people was the serious matter.

"What old crime did they commit?" she asked.

"A murder case."

Lu Huaihe clenched the teacup with his fingers tightly clenched, his lips pursed tightly, and a sense of low pressure was suppressed all over his body.

Xunyang is where the old clan of the Lu family lives.

"Oh, by the way, Lu Yanxiu has been clamoring to see you in prison. What about you? Do you want to see him?"

Lu Huaihe tilted his head slightly and stared at her from the side.

Su He shook his head without even thinking.

At this juncture, meeting Lu Yanxiu would only cause trouble for her.

Lu Huaihe was a little surprised, as he thought she would agree.

Noticing his change in expression, Su He asked, "You seem a little disappointed that I'm not going to see Lu Yanxiu?"

Lu Huaihe put aside the low pressure of official duties, and his deep eyes stayed on her, revealing a faint smile: "I was just wondering, why is Madam so cruel to him?"

Lu Huaihe could only pretend not to see those clumsy and stupid methods of plotting against others, but he could not pretend not to know about them.

It seemed that his wife had always been against Lu Yanxiu's family.

Is this considered cruel?

Su He recalled how she was harmed by him in her previous life, her entire family was imprisoned, and died in arson. That kind of pain was so deep that it made it impossible to breathe. She had experienced it, and Lu Yanxiu must also have a taste of it!

"My husband, you don't know that I once entered a dream where my entire family was wiped out. The murderer in the dream was none other than the beastly Lu Yanxiu. If I don't kill him with my own hands, I'm afraid the dream will come true and he will hurt me again."

Even Su He himself didn't notice that his eyes were particularly sharp when he said this.

"Since Madam wants to do it, I will help you behind the scenes."

Lu Huaihe's lips curled up slightly, and under the dim candlelight, his eyes looked bottomlessly dark. When he stared at Su He, it seemed as if a ray of starlight was hiding behind them.

Su He felt mixed emotions when she saw that he neither objected nor was on guard against her.

"Don't you think I'm ridiculous?"

She treated her past life as a dream, telling it out in a blank slate.

Lu Huaihe actually believed it?

He didn't look like he was lying; he really was focused and believed her seriously.

"Even if my wife said that the sun rises from the west, I would believe it."

Su He pursed her lips and smiled, and couldn't help but ask: "What kind of belief is this?"

Seeing her happy, Lu Huaihe also smiled and said, "Husband and wife are one, so they will naturally listen to you."

Su He laughed and said he was being cunning.

But I felt really happy when I heard it in my heart.

Seeing that Lu Huaihe had a look of fatigue on his brows, she reached out and gently smoothed his brows, and asked softly, "You've been busy these days and haven't eaten well. How about I make some ginseng soup for you to replenish your body?"

Lu Huaihe pinched her delicate palm, placed it on the corner of his mouth and kissed it, then raised his eyes and said jokingly: "Madam, do you think I should make up for it?"

Seeing him like this, Su He immediately understood what he meant, and immediately sat up and explained: "That's not what I meant. I meant that you haven't eaten on time recently, and your nutrition must be insufficient. Drinking more ginseng soup can replenish your nutrition..."

"Okay, I heard what the madam said. Take the necessary supplements and never drink less."

Lu Huaihe supported his head lazily with one hand, and gently rubbed her hand with the other hand. The deliberateness in his eyes was too obvious. Su He really couldn't explain it, and it was not good not to explain it. Seeing him so calm, she was panicking like a ripe persimmon, which was a bit embarrassing.

"Drinking ginseng soup at night can easily make you fat. Let's take a rest. I... I'm tired."

Su He withdrew her hand from his palm, walked a few steps to the dressing table and began to take off her jewelry.

Seeing her blushing cheeks, Lu Huaihe didn't try to tease her on purpose. He just tilted his head and looked at her back quietly.

Su He took off her hair bun, letting her long black hair loosen. She didn't hear any sound behind her. When she turned around, she found Lu Huaihe sleeping on the table.

“This guy is really something.”

Even though the bed was only a few steps away, he was too lazy to move.

Su He took off the last earring, stood up and walked in front of him. Her slender arm just wrapped around Lu Huaihe's arm, and the next second she was pulled into his arms.

The hot air from his lips gently puffed on Su He's face, making her feel itchy. She couldn't help but turn her face away and wanted to stand up, but he pulled her back.

"Are you pretending to sleep?"

"I was pretending to be asleep, but I was really sleepy."

Lu Huaihe barely held up his tired eyelids and couldn't help teasing her.

Su He felt a little distressed, she touched the corner of his eye with her slender fingers and said softly, "Come to the bed."

Lu Huaihe curled his lips, picked her up by the waist and walked towards the bed.

The autumn night was chilly, and a gust of wind made people shiver.

Taohong ran all the way back from Li's Mansion to call people. She ran in a hurry, panting on the way. Finally, she returned to Lu's Mansion. Listening to Lu Yunqing's shrill screams in the room, she couldn't help but tremble.

Zhao Liuyun also came with them. As Li Qi's legal wife, she should be present at Lu Yunqing's childbirth.

The screams in the yard were intermittent, as if they had lost all their strength.

Zhao Liuyun couldn't help but ask: "When did the birth start?"

"Madam, Aunt Lu has been in pain for two hours. If this continues, I'm afraid both the adult and the child will not be able to be saved..."

Taohong thought that she had done things for Lu Yunqing and still had some money left, so she couldn't let her die like this.

Even though Zhao Liuyun and Lu Yunqing didn't get along, at this moment he hoped that everything would go smoothly for her.

"Why would Madam Lu leave the Li residence for no reason? The fetus was checked yesterday and the pulse was extremely stable. How could she have a difficult birth?"

Zhao Liuyun questioned Taohong, who hesitated for a moment and could not answer. She secretly glanced at Liu Qiuqiu and had to report the truth: "Auntie came back to visit because of family matters. I don't know what she talked about with Auntie Liu from the Lu Mansion. She was pushed by her, and she fell down with a big belly and immediately cried out in pain..."

Liu Qiuqiu took a deep breath. She just didn't want to pay attention to Lu Yunqing's questioning, but she didn't think of murdering the baby in her belly. If Lu Yunqing died in the Lu Mansion, how could the Li Mansion let her go?

She reacted quickly and said to Lu Yunqing, "Madam Zhao, don't listen to this maid's nonsense. Yunqing and I are sisters-in-law. She has been very kind to me. I would never push her down when she is pregnant even if it was because of something terrible! She was standing on the edge of the stairs and she slipped and fell down. It has nothing to do with me!"
