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

Lu Huaihe's voice echoed in the hall, and every word he said fell into Su He's heart. He looked over with watery eyes, feeling a little surprised.

How could he speak for himself?

What Su He found strange was that although her uncle had not married yet, he spoke in a mature manner.

She didn't know whether the men in Beijing were flocking to her, but the last sentence, "Marriage cannot be forced," was quite to her liking.

Su Ronghai remained silent, and Wang knew what he was worried about.

Ah He had been in the Lu Mansion for three years without any pregnancy, and others would definitely make up some rumors. It would not be easy to discuss marriage in the future.

But since my daughter has made the decision, how can I bear to see her suffer in the fire?

Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were hesitant and silent, Zhao Wanrong simply waved her hand to make a decision for them: "Divorce if you want, let the concubine do the waiting work, and our Ah He will come back to be a rich and glorious daughter! Your father and your brother are here to protect you. If others want to gossip, just call them over, sew their mouths shut, and tear out their tongues, so that people outside will know that the daughter of our Su family is not to be bullied!"

"Sister-in-law..."

Su He's tears couldn't help but flow down, like beads that had broken off the string, falling down in big drops.

Seeing this, Su Ronghai's heart softened a little. He kept a straight face and said nothing, but finally agreed.

Su He knelt in front of the hall to thank his father and mother, and the mist in his eyes gradually faded away.

When Lu Yanxiu returned to the hall, he noticed that the atmosphere was not right. Su He's eyes were red, probably because she had been crying.

"Ma'am, what's going on?"

He asked with concern, and pretended to pull Su He's hand over, but she gently dodged it.

There was some displeasure in Lu Yanxiu's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he saluted his father-in-law Su Ronghai and Lu Huaihe.

"I was just talking about my childhood with my mother, and I felt sentimental at the moment." Zhao Wanrong came to the rescue.

Wang has always known that any rich young man with some family background would never stay with one person for his entire life, and it is very common for him to have many wives and concubines.

If Lu Yanxiu had kept concubines, it wouldn't matter how many there were, but his mistress had been keeping one for three whole years! He had been keeping one secretly since Ah He got married! Or maybe even earlier!

Thinking of this, Wang Shi was filled with anger for her daughter and did not want to see Lu Yanxiu. Even her eyebrows revealed a coldness as she began to order him to leave: "Ah He and I still have a lot of personal conversations to discuss. You are usually very busy with official duties, so why don't you go back first? I will personally send Ah He back tomorrow."

Lu Yanxiu gave an inexplicable smile. He was just a small fifth-rank official. What official duties did he have to deal with?

Since his mother-in-law had asked him to do so, he had no choice but to agree.

I still remember that the last time Su He came back was half a year ago. It would be nice to let the mother and daughter have a private chat.

After Lu Yanxiu agreed, he remembered that after being in the Su Mansion for such a long time, he didn't even have a chair to sit on, let alone a cup of tea!

"You can rest here. You don't need to trouble mother to send you here tomorrow. I will send someone to pick you up. How about that?" He knew that the Su family might have some opinions about him, but as long as Su He treated him a little better in front of everyone, it would not matter.

But Su He didn't let him have his wish, and only perfunctorily replied with three words: "Got it."

It happened that her nephew caught a cricket and ran in to show off. Su He made up an excuse and left with the children.

"Ah He has always been spoiled by us, don't take it to heart."

As the father-in-law, Su Ronghai stepped forward in time to smooth things over. He exchanged a few words with Lu Yanxiu and then sent someone to escort him away.

After he left, Wang said to Zhao Wanrong in a low voice, "Ah He, this matter needs to be settled as soon as possible..."

Lu Huaihe's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he remained silent for a few seconds before saying to Su Ronghai, "Master Su, I will also take my leave first."

"I will take you out."

Before leaving the house, Su Ronghai stroked his beard, shook his head and laughed mockingly, and said something meaningful: "My daughter is really naughty. Today, Lord Lu made a fool of herself..."

"Don't worry, Master Su. I won't say a word."

"Thank you."

Outside the Su Mansion, Lu Yanxiu was waiting outside deliberately, hoping to get close to Lu Huaihe. It would be best if he could help him in the officialdom, so that he would not have to worry about wealth and glory in the future.

As soon as he saw someone coming out, Lu Yanxiu immediately went to meet them, and asked with a sly smile, "I didn't know that my uncle was here today, I wonder how my great aunt is doing these days?"

Lu Huaihe paused, his cold eyes slightly tilted: "Didn't you go to the banquet that day?"

"Here he goes! My nephew is sitting in the middle seat, and he even saw my uncle!"

"In that case, why are you asking me when you can see the eldest princess' appearance?"

"I……"

Lu Yanxiu didn't expect to be speechless. When he saw Lu Huaihe getting on the horse and about to leave, he pulled the reins of the horse with courage and asked loudly: "Uncle, you don't know, my grandmother misses you very much. If you have time on weekdays, can we get together?"

Lu Huaihe glanced at his unnecessary hand that was in the way, and his sharp eyes revealed an official majesty, which made Lu Yanxiu shrink unconsciously and let go of his hand fearfully.

"Forget about the casual gathering. If you have time, you can come to the Dali Temple and ask for a cup of tea."

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, with a hint of indifference on his lips.

Want some tea?

The smile on Lu Yanxiu's face froze. He felt his dignity was being trampled upon. Before he could reply, Lu Huaihe whipped his horse and left, leaving a cloud of dust floating towards him.

"Lu Huaihe..."

Lu Yanxiu's eyes suddenly turned gloomy, and his fists in his sleeves clenched slightly.

So what if we don't help him? Is he destined to be just a small fifth-rank official?

As the saying goes, things change over time, so let's just wait and see!

The night is all around and the sky is as dark as ink.

Wang personally combed Su He's long hair, thinking about the baby who was so small in her arms when she was young, the baby who didn't even have to endure any hardship, but now suffered all kinds of grievances in her husband's family.

Thinking of the divorce, she paused: "Did Lu Yanxiu really agree to the divorce?"

How could a man-eating den like the Lu Mansion spit out what it had swallowed? Wang thought of Liu's shrewd and calculating face and couldn't help but worry.

Su He looked at her demure self in the mirror after she took off her jewelry, stroked Wang's hand and comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I have my own arrangements."

Lu Mansion, a leisurely residence.

Zhang lay on the bed expressionless, looking coldly at the empty and deserted room. On the dressing table were the flowers that Su He had picked by hand, but now they had dried up and no one noticed.

The maids in Youranju looked down on her because she was a child bride in the Lu family. Even after she became the eldest lady, no one respected her. Later, her legs and feet were crippled by Lu Chengye, and she was even more despised.

Most of the meals were leftovers, and the food was better only when Lu Yanxiu came. If Zhang complained to Lu Yanxiu, it would be left unresolved, after all, he couldn't stay at Youranju all the time, not to mention Liu, who just hoped she would die soon.
