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

"So that's it?"

Since my brothers are coming, I have a chance to escape.

Ah Zhi seemed to see what she was thinking, and deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, I have already told them the news about you in Guo's house."

Su He thanked him gratefully. If it weren't for Azhi, she really didn't know what to do.

"How is your wife...lately?" she asked.

Ah Zhi sighed and shook her head: "It's still the same as before. I can't stand the wind and my body can't stand it."

That is an old problem that has persisted for many years and cannot be changed in a short time.

If I am lucky enough to leave the Guo Mansion in this life, there may still be a chance for improvement.

Su He was a little curious about her, so he thought for a moment before asking, "Can I go meet her?"

"My wife?"

"Ah."

"Of course! Madam has wanted to see you for a long time, but she felt a little guilty when she thought about Lord Lu's matter, so she didn't dare to come rashly."

While Azhi was speaking, she observed Su He's expression. Thanks to Guo Fei, there were rumors outside that Lu Huaihe had seduced Mrs. Guo and wanted to elope with her, so he was dealt with by Guo Fei.

Su He smiled gently: "My husband is not that kind of person, and your wife is the same."

It was a remote and quiet courtyard. There were no extra potted plants in the courtyard. Compared with the courtyards of other concubines, it was very ordinary.

"Azhi, you're back?"

Someone inside the room asked feebly, and Ah Zhi ran in in two or three steps, smiled, pulled open the curtain, pointed outside and said, "Mrs. Lu is here."

Lian Xin was obviously startled, then she quickly got up to check. Outside the corridor, when she saw Su He walking up the stairs, a bright light flashed before her eyes.

Although she was pregnant and had a plump figure, her movements, every frown and smile were no different from those of the imperial concubines in the palace.

Lianxin welcomed her into the room, and fearing that she might feel cold, she ordered Azhi to light the stove.

It was already late spring in March and it wasn't that cold anymore.

When Su He met Lian Xin for the first time, there was a hint of pity in his eyes when he saw her weak body.

If there had not been any palace turmoil, she would have stayed by Concubine Rong's side and become a powerful aunt in charge.

When she is older, she will be sent out of the palace, take the personal belongings given by Concubine Rong, buy a farm, marry a satisfactory husband, and have a pair of lovely children. This will be completely different from her current situation of being imprisoned.

Noticing the sympathy in Su He's eyes, Lian Xin smiled nonchalantly and asked softly, "You're not just here to visit me, are you?"

Su He did not answer, but turned her gaze to Azhi, who tactfully closed the door and left.

Su He then stared at her seriously, and said in a firm voice: "I also want to contribute to what my husband has done."

Lian Xin's eyes trembled, "You... want to rescue me too?"

What shocked her was that Su He did not question or ridicule her because of the rumors outside, but actually wanted to help her?

"My elder brother is a minister praised by the emperor. Qingyun, who protects me, once stayed up for two nights to catch a human trafficker, and he was still lively and energetic on duty the next day. Only Peixia is a little weaker, but she is a woman. After I became pregnant, she used silver needles to test the poison of all the food I ate. Whether in the capital or in Yanzhou, she can always observe the surroundings for me and take care of me to the best of her ability. Madam Guo, tell me, with them around, how could I be kidnapped by the brothers Lu Yanxiu and Lu Zhili?"

Lianxin's lips moved slightly, and she understood what she meant.

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Mrs. Guo, please be careful of the people around you."

Lian Xin was completely stunned: "...You mean, Azhi?"

Su He did not deny it: "She found me right before Lu Yanxiu came looking for me. If I say it was a coincidence, I'm sure no one would believe it."

Lianxin remained silent and did not answer. She and Azhi had a deep relationship as master and servant, but Azhi and Suhe had nothing to do with each other, so her life or death had nothing to do with her.

In this case, there is a possibility that someone may have informed on the matter.

"Tell me, do you want me to punish her?" That's impossible. Azhi and she depend on each other and are as close as sisters. It is impossible for them to break up for an outsider.

Su He shook his head and said calmly: "I want Madam's help at the banquet tomorrow."

Lian Xin raised her eyes, as if she had guessed something.

It is rare for the Guo family to hold banquets.

All the important figures in Yanzhou City were invited to the mansion, and Su Ling, as an official from the capital, was naturally no exception.

Qingyun and Pei Xia followed him. After entering Guo's house, they looked calm and did not look around.

Lu Yanxiu, who was hiding in the dark, exchanged glances with Lu Zhili.

Guo Fei stood in the front hall to greet the guests. Looking at the expensive gifts they brought, he couldn't stop smiling.

The situation in the capital was very good, and the Guo family had the potential to take over, so naturally, these people were particularly attentive to Guo Fei.

The banquet was filled with singing and dancing, and was extremely lively.

Su Ling's expression was stern. He just watched coldly and did not participate.

While drinking, his eyes met with the person behind him, and the familiar face returned.

"Today, you and I are gathered here. I'm sure you have heard the news in the capital. I, Guo Fei, will soon be very successful! When I return to the capital tomorrow and become a high-ranking official, my good brothers from Yanzhou, I will never forget you!"

His Majesty is about to pass away. According to etiquette, the new emperor should be the crown prince.

But the prince was not the queen's son. Queen Guo had raised her for more than ten years, but when the end came, she was unwilling to acknowledge his identity.

General Guo Jie, the Zhenbei general, is stationed outside the city with his elite troops. As soon as the emperor dies, the prince will probably be killed by him before he even gets the edict of accession to the throne!

If Guo Jie ascended the throne, Guo Fei, as an important person in charge of Lianxin, would never be buried even if he had made some contributions at least.

Thinking of this, Guo Fei seemed to have seen the prosperous and luxurious life waving at him.

"Sir, today is a good day for the Guo family. I have made a painting and would like to present it to everyone."

Unlike her usual plain appearance, Lianxin dressed up a little today, with rosy cheeks and looking very healthy.

In the past, Guo Fei would definitely kick her down and then tell her contemptuously that she was not worthy.

But now all the guests were present, and for the sake of his own face, Guo Fei could not openly punch and kick his wife, so he asked her to present it.

Lianxin expected him to do so.

He gave Azhi a look, then handed the painting in a box to everyone.

Guo Fei looked at the box, which was fine and of good quality. "What's painted on it? It's so mysterious?"

Lian Xin stood at one side, looking at everyone at the table, and said in a low and weak voice: "Master, just open it and check it."

After Su He came to see her yesterday, Lian Xin couldn't sleep all night, so she got up immediately to work on her writing.

What was placed in the box was not drawing paper at all, but a record of Guo Fei's evil deeds in Yanzhou City over the years!
