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

Zhao Wanrong slapped the tea table, causing some of the tea to spill. She turned to Lu Yanxiu and mentioned the time when she proposed marriage. Her voice was loud and clear: "You stood outside the Su Mansion for three days to marry Ah He. If you hadn't sworn with your life that you would never have second thoughts about her, how could my father agree to this marriage?"

When the old things were brought up again, Lu Yanxiu also fell into memories.

But he had no emotional basis for Su He, and Liu Qiuqiu was his favorite. If he hadn't wanted to fight for power at that time, he would never have gotten involved with Su He!

Naturally, he couldn't say these words out loud. Lu Yanxiu lowered his head, feeling a little ashamed.

"Sister-in-law, I..."

"Alright! I don't want to listen to any nonsense arguments. Ah He can't stand being wronged. While we are here, we must investigate the matter thoroughly! Ah He, you do the interrogation and we will listen in." Zhao Wanrong hated the way Lu Yanxiu hesitated and wanted to explain but couldn't, just like a woman.

She only listens to Ah He.

Su He nodded, stood up, walked to Yang Po and the others, and ordered them to remove the cloth strips from the mouths of the man and woman.

Liu was shocked, her fingers clenched the armrests of the chair, and her heart was pounding like a drum.

"You said you framed me for money. I'm curious, how much money did you have to make you take action in the Princess's mansion?"

The two looked at each other without saying anything, their eyes still full of murderous intent and unwillingness to accept the result. If Lu Huaihe hadn't appeared, Su He might be hiding somewhere looking for death! They can only blame their bad luck!

"It's okay if you don't say anything. I won't interrogate you." Su He sat down calmly, blew gently on the cup in his hand, and said with a serious look: "Pei Xia, prepare the torture instruments."

"Yes!"

In the past at the mansion, no matter how angry Su He was, he would just scold her a few words and never even fine her. But now he wants to execute her in public?

Mother Yang had a bad feeling in her heart. When she saw the servants carrying two pairs of torturers, she threw herself in front of Liu and burst into tears: "Madam, please have mercy on me!"

As a loyal servant for decades, Mrs. Yang did not reveal the truth. She thought that Mrs. Liu might have a little conscience. Otherwise, once the truth was revealed, old and new accounts would be settled together, and the Lu family would not be able to gain any benefits!

Liu knew this truth very well. She didn't care about her old bones. She squatted down tremblingly and helped Aunt Yang up. She explained to Su He, "Xiao He, you don't know, the two people kneeling in the hall are Aunt Yang's son and daughter. They have been working in the Princess's Mansion for a long time. Their father died of illness a few days ago, and the family still has debts. I think they thought you looked kind, so they went astray and had evil intentions! Fortunately, you are innocent and your reputation is not ruined. In my opinion, let's forget about this matter. After all, we are still a family..."

Zhao Wanrong snorted coldly. How could they, who were not even remotely related, become a family?

She rolled her eyes at Liu and cursed the old woman in her heart!

Su He knew that Liu was smooth-talking and shrewd, but things were different now and she could not have the final say alone.

She nodded in agreement: "What the old lady said is very true. After all, Nanny Yang has seen me for many years in the mansion. Even if I don't want to see the monk's face, I have to see the Buddha's face. The old lady is still here!"

After a pause, he said helplessly, "How can I give an explanation to Lord Lu?"

Lu Yanxiu caught the words and asked, "But is it Lord Lu, the Minister of Dali Temple? Our uncle?"

"That's right. If Lord Lu hadn't come to my rescue, I would have fallen into a den of wolves and tigers! He is in charge of the prison and is best at judging cases. He should have taken me to the Dali Temple for a thorough interrogation. It was only because I felt that there must be something hidden that he agreed to send me to the Lu Mansion. If he knew about it, the matter would have ended in vain..."

Su He paused and complained in a low voice, seeming to be very worried about this matter.

When Lu Yanxiu heard that Lu Huaihe also knew about this, he urged Liu to speak and asked how to deal with the two people, whether to resolve it privately or send them to the government?

He was not familiar with Lu Huaihe to begin with, and had been trying to get close to him, but had never found an opportunity. This was a good opportunity for him to take advantage of this incident to make his presence felt!

Liu glared at him in dissatisfaction, wondering how could she have raised such an ungrateful person?

However, Lu Yanxiu was not aware of what happened to Lu Lao Er many years ago, so even if Liu wanted to scold him, she couldn't find a reason.

We can only blame the Lu family for their bad luck, which has been going downhill since the eldest princess left the family.

Seeing that Liu had not expressed her opinion, Su He shook his head and ordered, "Torture them until they confess."

Mother Yang was heartbroken when she heard this. Seeing that Liu couldn't help her, Su He had to speak in the end. So she turned around and knelt in front of her, "Young Madam, I shouldn't have committed a crime just now. I am willing to be punished! But the children are innocent! I am willing to be punished in their place. If it wasn't for the Madam's intention..."

Before she could say the most important words, Mrs. Yang had already fallen to the ground.

"Who the hell are you? How dare you try to pull the skirt of the young lady!"

Liu looked vicious and threw a teacup, which hit her temple and made her faint immediately.

He also ordered housekeeper Zhu to stuff the two kneeling men with cloth strips and take them to the backyard to be locked up, waiting to be handed over to the government for trial tomorrow! Everything happened so quickly that Su He didn't even have time to speak.

Zhao Wanrong stood up suddenly: "The old lady is so anxious, is she afraid that the old woman will confess something?"

The person had fainted and could not speak, but Liu was not afraid and held her chest high and said, "She is just a servant. How can she be so rude to her master? I am only thinking about Xiao He."

Zhao Wanrong felt as if she had heard a joke. She felt that this old woman was two-faced, insidious and cunning. She wondered how much injustice Ah He had suffered in the mansion.

Everyone in the capital praised the Lu family for marrying a good daughter-in-law. Others just listened to it, but only the Su family knew what a good daughter-in-law had to go through.

When Su He was waiting to be married, she never touched water. Even if something fell, she would not bend down to pick it up.

After marrying into the Lu Mansion, she visited the old lady every morning and evening, served tea and water, prepared three meals a day for her mother-in-law, and wiped her body, doing everything herself.

But the Su family heard that Lu Yanxiu brought another woman to the eldest princess' banquet?

Zhao Wanrong thought of the rumors outside and moved her lips. She wanted to ask Su He everything at once, but because Liu and Lu Yanxiu were present, she couldn't ask.

Su He seemed to know what she was thinking. He took Zhao Wanrong's hand and stroked it, saying, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you today. When I have some free time in the next few days, I will go home to visit my parents."

Zhao Wanrong understood what he meant, that he wanted them to leave the Lu Mansion first.

She and Su Ling looked at each other and understood each other, so she smiled sweetly at Su He and said, "Let's do it tomorrow. I'll ask the family to prepare your favorite sweet and sour fish, so that mother can be happy."

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

After Zhao Wanrong and Su Ling left, the smile on Su He's face disappeared in an instant.

She calmed herself down and looked at Liu and Lu Yanxiu again. Her gentle features now seemed cold and distant.
