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

She took an inaudible step back, just in time to catch Su He's eyes.

"The elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You must listen to her carefully in the future," Zhang warned.

Lu Yunqing's eyelashes trembled. She didn't dare to look up at Su He and just responded softly.

In fact, she had known about Liu Qiuqiu's affairs for a long time. After Yier and Jiaoer were born, she pestered her grandmother to visit them in the villa. When they passed by the toy store, she bought a lot of new toys for them to play with.

Although Su He treated her well, the Lu family cannot be without an heir...

Zhang leaned back in her chair weakly, took a deep breath and asked, "Where's Zhili? Why hasn't he come back yet?"

"My second brother is on his way back."

Zhang closed her eyes and shook her head in pain and despair, her dry fingers tightly grasping Lu Yunqing, afraid that she would pull away.

Looking back on my difficult life, I realized that death is not painful. What is painful is parting with all the emotions in this world.

Su He was the first to notice something was wrong. She gently shook Zhang's shoulder with her hand, only to find that she had died.

"Mother! Mother!"

Hearing Lu Yunqing's cry, Lu Yanxiu came to the wheelchair to check, and seeing Zhang motionless, his eyes also dimmed.

Lu Zhili, who had just returned from the Imperial College, heard shrill screams when he reached the gate of Youran Ju. He stopped and his eyes were filled with grief.

Su He lowered his eyes, recalled what Zhang had said to him, calmed himself down, and asked housekeeper Zhu to go outside the mansion to invite the best funeral team. The funeral must be held in a grand manner.

Pei Xia went to various courtyards in the mansion to announce the death, but few people in the mansion showed any sadness.

Wei Rui Pavilion.

Liu Qiuqiu helped Liu out of the house. When she saw the crows circling low in the sky, she had a bad feeling.

"Did Yan Xiuzhen give her the divorce letter?"

"After punishing Yier, my husband gave it to me. Grandmother, you must give Yier justice. He was maliciously bullied by Su He and was beaten with ten boards. He couldn't even stand up. He was also punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. My heart was broken when I saw it..." Liu Qiuqiu brought up the matter of Yier being punished again, wanting Liu to support Yier, but at this time the news of Zhang's death came.

Liu stared at the crow that was unwilling to fly away, with a trace of worry in her cloudy eyes. However, when she mentioned Su He, she still said coldly: "Yier is my most beloved great-grandson. If she wants to do something wrong, I will give her back. Our Lu family has always only divorced, not divorced. Su He has offended the Lu family and is challenging the authority of our ancestors! Even if she gets the divorce letter, what does it matter? Can she get out of the Lu family safely?"

There was a threat in her words, which made Liu Qiuqiu very confused about Liu's thoughts. Since Su He wanted to cut off her relationship with the Lu family, why stop her? It would be better to leave early and give her the identity of the young lady!

"Zhang is dead, let's go and take a look..."

"it is good."

Zhang was not a woman from a high-class family, and she had no relatives in the capital. Not many people came to pay their respects at the funeral, and most of them were old friends of the Lu family.

Paper money in front of the mourning hall fluttered in the wind, and the atmosphere was gloomy and depressing.

Lu Zhili and Lu Yunqing knelt beside the brazier and burned paper. The firelight reflected on their faces, and no emotion could be seen.

Lu Yanxiu stood on the path in front of the hall, greeting visitors from time to time. His eyes subconsciously glanced at Su He who was standing on the side of the mourning hall. The coarse linen mourning dress seemed loose on her, and there was a trace of sadness on her plain face.

When she noticed the gaze, she looked back, then looked away calmly.

When Liu arrived at the mourning hall and saw Zhang's coffin, her face showed pain and she soon fainted from grief. She was helped back to Weirui Pavilion by Nanny Qin and Mother Yang.

If Su He had not caught a glimpse of Liu winking at the two old servants, she would have believed, like outsiders, that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had a deep affection for each other.

Liu Qiuqiu was pregnant and did not attend the funeral, so she did not show up.

"Lord Lu is here to offer condolences!"

The servant Gaosheng outside the door shouted, causing Lu Yanxiu and Su He to look sideways.

Back then, Lu Zhiping's death was unclear, and Princess Zhaoyang had a grudge against the Lu family because of this. Lu Huaihe had never recognized him, but I didn't expect that this time when a female member of the Zhang family died, he would come to pay his respects?

Lu Yanxiu hurried forward to greet him. Seeing him wearing a round-necked, narrow-sleeved black robe and walking slowly towards him with a solemn expression, he hurriedly bowed and said, "I don't know if I am sorry for not welcoming you, Lord Lu..."

"Please grief."

"Master Lu, please come this way."

After entering the mourning hall, Lu Huaihe lit a stick of incense in front of the spirit tablet, bowed, washed his hands with the wine brought by the maids, and then stood aside.

As soon as he arrived, Lu Yanxiu stopped receiving any guests and just stayed beside him, talking about Zhang's life in a casual manner.

It would be good if the death of his mother could make Lu Huaihe and Princess Zhaoyang have a little more sympathy for the Lu family.

Su He looked at the flames in the brazier and heard Lu Yanxiu's self-indulgent and redundant talk, which she couldn't help but find ridiculous.

At this time, Nanny Qin came to the mourning hall to find Su He and said, "Young Madam, the old lady wants you to come over to discuss something."

Su He's eyes moved: "Did you say anything?"

"This...I don't know."

"You go back first, I'll be there soon."

Ever since the incident with Grandma Yang, Pei Xia now feels that everyone in Weirui Pavilion is not a good person.

Su He temporarily asked Butler Zhu to keep an eye on the mourning hall so that Zhang could pass away in peace.

Seeing the person leave, Lu Huaihe took a deep look.

Lu Yanxiu thought he wanted to see the scenery of the Lu Mansion. After all, Lu Huaihe was born here, so he said, "Uncle, how about taking a walk with me?"

Lu Huaihe was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Wei Rui Pavilion.

Liu was lying on the bed with a hot towel on her forehead. She had just drunk a bowl of ginseng soup. The corners of her mouth were still red from eating, but she had to pretend to be hurt and weak.

Su He did not expose the truth. After entering the house, he asked directly, "What is it that the old lady wants me to discuss?"

Mrs. Yang, who was following the bed, looked at her with resentment in her eyes, thinking of her son and daughter who were still lying at home, with the redness and swelling on their faces, not to mention the bruises on their bodies!

She will always have to pay back this debt!

Su He didn't like that sharp look, so she asked sideways, "Madam Yang, why are you free today? Why aren't you at home taking care of the children? Can you get out of bed?"

"Young Madam, you are worrying too much. In my opinion, serving the old madam is the most important thing." Mother Yang suppressed her displeasure and forced a smile.

"Okay, today is Zhang's funeral, so stop arguing. Su He, come over to me."

Liu pretended to be weak and waved her hand, asking her to come to the bedside. When she mentioned Zhang, her tone was a little regretful, and then she changed the subject and said, "She was pitiful when she was alive, and now she is relieved. I know Yan Xiu has given you the divorce letter, but Zhang is your mother-in-law after all, otherwise... after the funeral, how about you come with me to Shangqing Temple to pray for her? You know that Zhang loved you the most when she was alive. If her spirit in heaven sees you praying for her with all your heart, she will definitely be relieved."

Going to Shangqing Temple?

Su He noticed something strange from Liu's sparkling eyes, and Mrs. Yang also looked at her hopefully.
