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

Su He couldn't help but sneer.

The child is three years old, and she has been married to Lu Yanxiu for three years, which means that Liu Qiuqiu was already present when they got married!

Call her mother?

Su He also admired Liu Qiuqiu's educational methods, which were undoubtedly the most successful for this pair of children.

In her previous life, it was because of the repeated calls of "mother" that made her lose her mind, and she wished she could give all the best things in the capital to the two of them.

However, in the end, she kept calling Su He an evil mistress, accusing her of beating them, telling lies and swearing, and she was so angry that she almost died!

Is she going to make the same mistake again now?

Su He let go of Madam Lu's hand, and when she looked at her, she caught a glimpse of the calculation in those old eyes and couldn't help but spit.

When Lu Yan was recuperating from Liu Qiuqiu, he learned that she was pregnant. Old Madam Lu rushed to the villa to visit her overnight and sent her all kinds of ginseng, bird's nests, silks and brocades. All of that was Su He's dowry money!

"Madam, I didn't decide to divorce you on a whim. You don't need to bother trying to persuade me. You might as well sit back and have some tea and enjoy some quiet time. I'm afraid there won't be such a leisurely day in the future."

Could Liu Qiuqiu be like her, paying her respects to her parents every morning and evening and taking care of the backyard? Could she be like her, serving her mother-in-law and supplementing her dowry?

of course not.

I am afraid that there will be more chaos in the future.

Su He's implication was too obvious, which made Madam Lu's face darken. The disdain in her eyes increased. She didn't even try to hide it and pointed at Su He and scolded, "When Yan Xiu married you, I said that I couldn't keep a woman like you. I didn't expect that I would be right? Even if you are the daughter of the Minister of Rites, so what? You can't even have a child. Divorce? You are dreaming! Our Yan Xiu only knows how to write a letter of divorce, not divorce!"

As if she had guessed that Madam Lu would do this, Su He did not get angry and asked her maid Pei Xia to present the account book that she had sorted out last night.

Lu Yanxiu opened the account book and simply glanced at the first few pages, and didn't want to read any more.

"Starting from the second year after I got married, I have to pay for your sixtieth birthday, my mother-in-law's medicine for the past two years, my husband's money for his official career, my younger brothers and sisters' expenses, plus the miscellaneous expenses of the mansion. The total is no more, no less than three thousand taels of silver. How do you think I should pay it?"

A full three thousand taels?

Old Madam Lu didn't believe it. She took the account book and looked down along the handwriting. She seemed to know every expense clearly.

But now I don't want to admit it.

"If the old lady wants to cheat, I can ask the people from the Dali Temple to come and investigate the matter thoroughly to see if she has made a false report?"

"Su He, no!" Lu Yanxiu hurriedly stopped her.

How can such matters as those that happened inside the mansion be brought to court so casually?

What's more, as an official in the court, he cares most about his reputation and good reputation, otherwise he will become a laughing stock.

Madam Lu questioned Lu Yanxiu: "The Dali Temple Minister is your uncle, and he is a member of our Lu family after all. Is it possible that he will help her?"

"Grandmother, you don't understand. How could such a small matter lead to a confrontation in court? Besides, my uncle has severed ties with our Lu family, and the eldest princess is also watching us make fun of us. How could she help us? Otherwise, would she still think of me as just a small secretary?"

Lu Huaihe, the Minister of Dali Temple, is the only son of the current Princess Zhaoyang.

When the eldest princess was young, she married Lu Zhiping, the second son of the Lu family, which brought incomparable honor and glory to the Lu family.

At that time, she was the sister-in-law of Madam Lu. After giving birth to a son, Lu Zhiping was stabbed to death by bandits when he returned to his hometown with his brother to worship his ancestors. The eldest princess therefore broke off contact with the Lu family and raised the child alone in the eldest princess's mansion.

Speaking of Lu Huaihe, Lu Yanxiu was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He even said that he was his uncle. When they met in the court, they were completely strangers. If he was willing to help him, why would he not be able to rise to the top?

Speaking of the uncle whom she was not very familiar with, Su He had some impression of him.

In the previous life, all members of the Su family died tragically in prison. Lu Huaihe investigated the case day and night and finally found the murderer behind the scenes. However, when the murderer was interrogated, he bit his tongue and committed suicide. Although Lu Huaihe was angry, he could do nothing.

If Madam Lu wanted to use Lu Huaihe's identity to pressure her, she was totally wrong.

Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest princess has nothing to do with the current Lu family. Even when Lu Yanxiu and Su He got married, she never came forward to dispel the rumors. Could it be that it is not true?

Lu Yanxiu looked at the heavy account book, thinking about the comparison between Liu Qiuqiu and Su He, and finally let go of Liu Qiuqiu's hand, walked quickly towards Su He and said softly: "Xiao He, you and I love each other and are married. Don't say such hurtful words as divorce! It is indeed wrong for me to keep a concubine, but Qiuqiu is innocent, and the children are innocent! Forget about making her a co-wife, it is indeed a bit unfair for you, just agree to let her enter the mansion as a concubine! Since we have no children, I will register the children under your name and let them call you mother..."

Su He was tired of hearing the same words. She turned sideways to avoid Lu Yanxiu, not wanting to stand too close to him. She said tactfully, "God didn't give me a baby, I guess I'm not destined to be a mother. If I force it, it will only backfire. Just like my husband, if you want to be Sister Liu's supporter, then divorce me. Otherwise, drive them out of the house, never recognize each other in this life, and never take a concubine in the future."

Her eyes were soft and her lips were slightly raised, but the words she said made Lu Yanxiu feel cold in his heart.

Liu Qiuqiu looked at Su He timidly. She didn't hear Lu Yanxiu's answer. She was a little afraid that she would have to go back to the villa to live an anonymous life. She immediately knelt down at Madam Lu's feet, regardless of her pregnant belly, with tears in her eyes: "Madam, I gave birth alone in the villa. I almost died because no one took care of me. I never complained, and I never prayed for anything in all these years. Now it's because the children have grown up and can't be left outside! After all, they are the flesh and blood of the Lu family. Otherwise... otherwise, the children can be left in the Lu Mansion. It's not impossible for me to stay far away!"

Liu Qiuqiu cried so bitterly that the children knelt beside the old lady and hugged Liu Qiuqiu tightly, crying at the top of their lungs: "I don't want it! I don't want to be separated from my mother!"

"I don't recognize anyone else as my mother! I would rather die than leave my mother!"

Listening to the farce in front of him, Su He turned sideways to avoid it.

However, Mrs. Lu also shed tears when she saw her great-grandchildren crying together. Qiqi gave birth to the twins, a boy and a girl, which was a gift from heaven. They must not be driven away!

Lu Yanxiu grabbed her wrist, his eyes red, and asked, "Are you satisfied with watching the children sad? You can't tolerate Qiqi even though she's pregnant. How can we get along in the future? Since you want to divorce, I can help you, but not now!"
