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

"If you want me to not pursue what happened today, please hand in the divorce letter as soon as possible. All the money in the mansion that belongs to my Su family must be returned in full, including every penny of dowry I spent in the Lu Mansion, which must be returned according to the account book. It doesn't matter if you can't pay it back, you can write an IOU. Those clothes and jewelry that I gave you here and there, just consider it as my great mercy."

When his wife asked for the dowry he had spent, Lu Yanxiu felt ashamed as if he had been slapped in the face. "Are you really so cruel?"

Su He raised his eyebrows slightly and said leisurely, "Your grandmother colluded with others to frame me and tried to swallow up my dowry. Is this true?"

After the divorce, she can take everything with her.

After being divorced, she had no choice but to leave the Lu Mansion alone and become a slut who was accused and despised!

I have to say, the old lady's move was quite ruthless.

Lu Yanxiu's panicked pupils trembled, but he was surprised how could she know that?

Liu flatly denied it and insisted on her previous statement, putting the blame on Yang's children.

Su He was not annoyed and directly called Pei Xia: "Go to the Dali Temple and invite Lord Lu over."

"Stop!" Lu Yanxiu shouted, not allowing Pei Xia to leave the house.

Seeing that Su He really didn't take the Lu family seriously, Liu's momentum gradually weakened, and she leaned back in her chair in silence, unwilling to accept it.

However, those calculating old eyes still revealed a hint of hostility towards Su He.

"I will give you the divorce agreement as soon as possible, and I will not take any of your dowry for myself. As for the previous expenses, you can write me an IOU and I will sign it."

After a few seconds of silence, Lu Yanxiu gave Su He an answer, which marked his complete retreat.

Su He's tense body finally relaxed, and she heard him say, "I'll go back with you tomorrow to visit my parents."

Lu Yanxiu is still the son-in-law of the Su family and has the right to go to the Su family. Su He cannot stop him.

But she was still worried, thinking that Lu Yanxiu and Liu would not let it go so easily. Perhaps they had other intentions behind the scenes?

Su He was silent for a moment, then responded in a light tone, which was considered as an agreement.

After returning to the Osmanthus Courtyard, Pei Xia helped Su He wash up and mentioned the two people imprisoned in the firewood room in the backyard. He felt that they should not be let go easily.

This failed. If it really happened, wouldn't her young lady become a laughing stock in the whole capital?

"How do you think we should deal with it?"

Pei Xia puffed up his cheeks and said indignantly: "At least we have to endure some physical pain, right? Fortunately, God has mercy on us, otherwise we would have been wronged!"

The young lady traded this for the dowry, and although it wasn't a loss, Pei Xia still felt unhappy and felt like he was holding his breath!

Su He knew that she couldn't bear to suffer any loss, so she agreed: "Keep an eye on it, don't let anyone get hurt."

Pei Xia agreed.

After the party in the hall left, Liu returned to Weirui Pavilion but did not rest. Instead, she hurriedly sent someone to call Lu Yanxiu.

As soon as he saw his grandmother, before Lu Yanxiu could even open his mouth, he heard Liu say, "Su He has insulted us so much in public, and the Su family has seen us all. Who knows how they will laugh at us behind our backs?"

Lu Yanxiu frowned, somewhat disapproving of her words. After all, it was her grandmother who framed her first.

It was just a coincidence that Zhao Wanrong and Su Ling arrived and happened to encounter the interrogation.

Lu Yanxiu was lower in status than the Su family, so he inevitably felt a little inferior when he met them. No matter what Su He said, he could not refute it.

"You just let a woman bully you like that?" Liu beat her chest and stamped her feet. In addition, the food in the mansion has been light and vegetarian for the past few days, and there is hardly any oil or meat. But the sweet-scented osmanthus courtyard is filled with the aroma of meat, which makes people salivate!

If Su He had no money, would he still be so arrogant?

Liu gradually felt unbalanced.

Thinking of how Su He had treated her respectfully and politely in the past, and how she had never disobeyed him, Liu felt very upset when Liu Qiuqiu came to her house and she became jealous and left her alone, not even giving her money.

If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. Yang was related to something that happened many years ago, she wouldn't have to be afraid of Su He's interrogation.

"Grandma, if there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

Lu Yanxiu had to go to Ting Yuxuan to accompany Liu Qiuqiu. She told him that Yier didn't like the food prepared by the kitchen and hadn't eaten for a day.

I looked at the sky and felt it was still early. Fanlou had not closed yet, so I thought about sending someone to buy some food that the children would like.

Liu wanted to discuss it with Lu Yanxiu, but since he was not interested, she waved her hand and asked him to leave.

Nanny Qin, who was waiting on the side, turned off the lights in the outer room, leaving only the carved lamps in the room on. She heard Liu lying on the bed with her eyes closed and groaning, "Liu is also petty! If it weren't for the sake of her great-grandson, I would never let her come back..."

After talking for a while, I suddenly heard a few shrill screams.

Liu listened attentively again, but there was no sound again. She instructed Nanny Qin, "Go check on those people in the woodshed early tomorrow morning to make sure nothing happens in our house."

"Old slave, I took note of it."

In the small osmanthus courtyard, Su He was lying on the couch reading a book. Pei Xia came back from outside and brought news about Zhang from Youran Ju.

"The Madam has bedsores. She gets angry when the maids get close to her and is annoyed by everyone she sees."

Su He didn't even raise his eyes: "What about the others? Have you seen them?"

Pei Xia said, "Of course the old lady won't go to see him. Even when you went to Youran Residence to take care of him, the old lady didn't ask about it many times. As for the son-in-law... he seems to miss his mother a lot, but unfortunately Aunt Liu is pestering him, so he had to send someone to go outside the mansion to invite a doctor. But the old lady doesn't allow strangers to get close to him, so there's nothing she can do for a while."

Zhang is also a poor person.

Her leg was broken by the master himself, because of the conflict over taking a concubine.

The eldest master Lu Chengye was a playboy, especially fond of brothels. He also took two women back home as concubines.

Zhang had a bad temper and could not bear to share a husband with a prostitute. When she saw that she had no way to deal with Lu Chengye, she turned around and sold her two concubines to a noble family as maids.

Lu Chengye couldn't find his concubine, so he took his anger out on her.

Zhang was not from the capital. She was sold to Lu Chengye as a child bride by her parents when she was young. He was used to beating and scolding her. That time, for some reason he didn't pay enough attention and broke her legs.

Thinking of this, Su He felt more sympathy for Zhang.

She had bedsores before, and the maids all thought it was disgusting and didn't take good care of her. Only Su He took the trouble to run around for her, not caring about the ugly and smelly bedsores on her body, but now she had a delicate relationship with Lu Yanxiu, so it was impossible for her to serve her personally.

"Okay, take a break."

Su He handed the book to Pei Xia, who kept it, took off her outer garment embroidered with a white magnolia pattern, and got into bed.

Seeing that the lights in the osmanthus courtyard were turned off, Lu Yanxiu felt particularly disgusted with Su He's ruthlessness.

Even if they are not the same kind of people in the future, can't they still treat their former mother-in-law with all their heart and soul?
