My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official
Chapter 13: Marriage is something that cannot be forced
Lu Yanxiu felt a surge of resentment in his heart that did not dissipate until the early morning. When he got on the carriage to go back to the Su family to visit his relatives, he turned sideways when he saw Su He coming up, not wanting to look at her any more.
How could Su He care about him? After sitting down, he simply ignored him and pretended that he didn't exist.
Lu Mansion, Weirui Pavilion.
Liu was still asleep, and she vaguely heard Nanny Qin talking outside, with occasional sighs.
She raised her voice and called people over, and after asking, she found out that Mrs. Yang's children were beaten black and blue last night, and they couldn't lift their hands or legs!
"Who did it?"
"I heard that it was Pei Xia from the Young Madam's courtyard who gave the order..."
Liu cursed a few times and quickly sent someone out to call a doctor, insisting that Yang's children be cured!
·
To wish good luck today as she was visiting her parents, Su He wore a brightly colored skirt. The color of the skirt was as gorgeous as clouds, and the waist was tightly fitted, making it look as soft as if it could be held in one hand, making her look more delicate.
When Lu Yanxiu smelled the faint scent of powder beside him, he felt itchy for no reason.
Su He never put on makeup at home, and her clothes were casually dressed according to her mood. Most of her clothes were simple and elegant, and she rarely wore clothes with such bright colors.
Thinking that she was about to part ways with him and that there would be another man accompanying her in the future, Lu Yanxiu always felt a little unhappy.
But if Su He stayed in the house, Qi Qi would try to commit suicide. If she left, it would be over, but what about the children?
Yier and Jiaoer are both old enough to remember things, and they are afraid that the loss of their mother will have a great impact on their future.
Liu's words came to his ears again, and Lu Yanxiu's mind was in a mess. He simply patted his head and thought nothing more.
They arrived at the Su Mansion, which was the residence of the Minister of Rites after all. It was majestic and grand, very different from the small Lu Mansion.
Seeing the door lintel that he had not seen for a long time again, Su He could not hide his excitement, and even his steps up the stairs felt a little shaky.
Today, everyone learned that the young lady had returned home to visit her parents, and they waited in the hall early, just waiting to receive Su He.
Su He's mother, Wang, could not contain her excitement. As soon as she saw her daughter walk around the screen wall and appear in her sight, she stepped forward.
"Mother, have you been well lately?"
Su He's voice was a little trembling, perhaps even she didn't notice it.
In her previous life, even if the entire Su family died in a sea of fire, she was not able to see them for the last time. When Su He heard the news of the tragic death of her loved ones from Liu Qiuqiu, her heart was broken, especially when she learned that her most beloved nephews and nieces were hugging each other with their sisters-in-law and brothers, their bones were burnt and melted together, and even the coroner could not separate them, Su He cried until she fainted several times!
Now that she is back again, her sister-in-law and brother are safe, her mother and father are doing well, and her nephews and nieces are still full of energy. Su He is moved to tears.
Lu Yanxiu thought to himself: It's just a meeting with my family, is it necessary to get so emotional?
The divorce had not yet been announced, and he still wanted to leave a good impression in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law, so he immediately hugged Su He's slender waist and comforted her: "It's just that you haven't seen each other for a while, and Madam misses you so much. If you miss your family in the future, you can come back anytime."
Su He's face turned pale and she tried to get out of his arms. Zhao Wanrong saw this and naturally guessed that their relationship was not going well.
She called the children to her side and they kept surrounding Su He and calling her aunt. Su He's face was soon filled with smiles.
Looking around, Su He did not see his father, so he asked, "Isn't my father at home today?"
Wang narrowed her eyes and smiled, "We have a distinguished guest visiting today, and he is receiving him in the study."
"It's Lord Lu Huaihe, the Minister of the Dali Temple."
Lu Yanxiu was moved and asked immediately, "Why did Lord Lu come to see father?"
Wang knew something about the banquet at the Princess's Mansion, so she was not happy with her son-in-law. She frowned slightly, as if she was dissatisfied: "How can a woman like me know what happened in the court?"
Lu Yanxiu looked embarrassed and replied, "It was my son-in-law who was rude."
Wang ignored him and pulled Su He to her side, asking about trivial matters in Lu's mansion.
She knew that her daughter was wronged to marry down, and after marriage she had to serve like a maid in her husband's house, and she had long lost the agility of her time in the boudoir.
When Lu Yanxiu proposed to marry her, Wang was unwilling at first. Although he swore in front of the hall that he would marry Ah He, his eyes were vague and he hinted at his indecision.
But now the matter is done, there is no use regretting.
Zhao Wanrong asked Lu Yanxiu to take the children out to play in the yard. While he was away, she asked Su He about the rumor about the mistress in the Lu mansion, wanting to verify whether it was true.
Su He knew that this day would eventually come, and hiding it would not work. Her mother and sister-in-law were both easy to talk to, and perhaps they could help her get a smooth divorce.
"Lu Yanxiu and I may be getting divorced."
Wang's pupils slightly widened, and she held Su He's hand tightly and asked uncertainly: "Do you know what the consequences will be after the divorce?"
Even though Su He was still young, and with her stunning appearance she could make all the men in Beijing go through fire and water for her, she was ultimately a woman who had left the Lu family, and her reputation was already much lower!
"Nonsense!"
Before Wang could answer, Su He's heart trembled at a scolding from outside the hall.
Her father, Su Ronghai, stood on the steps and walked slowly into the hall. His majestic eyes rested on her face and he began to lecture her again: "Since you are married, you only need to fulfill your duties and responsibilities! Don't mention other things!"
"Father, you don't know that Lu Yanxiu is not a good man. I have been married to the Lu family for three years, and he has taken care of his mistress for three years. The mistress brought her children into the house. I really don't want to share a husband with someone else, so I asked for a divorce."
Su He's eyes were red and filled with tears, and his furrowed brows showed brokenness and despair.
How could she not know what would happen after the divorce? If she really repeated the same mistakes as in her previous life, it would be a hundred times more painful than letting her die!
When Wang heard her daughter crying, her expression changed immediately and she asked tremblingly, "Did Lu Yanxiu really..."
It turns out that those rumors outside are true?
"Since ancient times, having three wives and four concubines has never been a rare thing! There is no one in the Lu Mansion to take care of the household affairs. Since you are the mistress, you should set an example! Don't mention this matter again in the future!"
Su He is Su Ronghai's most beloved youngest daughter. Even though she was raised in the palm of his hand, he could not allow her to do anything wrong.
There are many divorced noble ladies in the capital, but there are also many who stab them in the back.
Su Ronghai would not allow his daughter to be criticized by some biased people, so he did not agree to the divorce!
"Father! I have made up my mind. Please stop trying to persuade me!"
Su He turned around, her hoarse voice sounded like crying.
This was the first time she disobeyed Su Ronghai. When she thought about having to get along with Lu Yanxiu in the future, she felt extremely nauseous.
He glanced and found that there was someone standing behind Su Ronghai.
Today, Lu Huaihe wore a fu hat, a dark blue official uniform, and an official badge and a ruyi jade pendant around his waist.
At this moment, he looked at Su He calmly, his eyes were clear, his thoughts were flying, and his heart was already in a mess.
Due to the presence of Lu Huaihe, Su Ronghai's face darkened, his eyes narrowed, and he was about to say something with his lips moving slightly, but he didn't expect that he would speak first.
"Miss Su is beautiful and intelligent, and she is virtuous. I'm sure all the men in Beijing are flocking to her. Marriage is something that cannot be forced."
