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

Zhang's words seemed to still ring in Su He's ears, and her heart moved slightly.

"The old lady is right. My mother suffered a lot in her life. My daughter-in-law will definitely make a wish to Buddha to let her be reborn into a good family in her next life."

She looked calm and agreed as if nothing had happened.

Hearing the affirmative answer, Liu breathed a sigh of relief and casually asked a few more questions about the matters at the mourning hall. Then, she asked Su He to leave Weirui Pavilion on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

Mother Yang stood at the doorstep and looked up. After making sure that Su He had really left, she returned to the bedside and massaged Liu's neck. She said with great pride, "I was afraid that she would not agree. Now she is in our hands!"

Liu closed her eyes and sneered: "She is a soft-hearted person after all."

In the whole house, Su He was the only one who regarded Zhang as a normal person.

"This time, we will make sure she never comes back!" Mrs. Yang looked sharp.

Liu was thinking about something and did not answer.

After leaving Weirui Pavilion, Su He and Pei Xia prepared to go to the mourning hall again. As long as the divorce was not announced, she was still the nominal mistress of the Lu Mansion and must not violate the rules in front of outsiders.

Several people hurried in from the corridor in front, including a doctor.

"What happened?" Pei Xia stopped them and asked.

The maid replied: "The eldest lady passed away. Aunt Liu was so sad that she couldn't control herself and had some difficulty breathing..."

This cannot be stopped.

Su He hurriedly asked Pei Xia to make way so that the doctor could go to Ting Yuxuan to check Liu Qiuqiu's pulse. Otherwise, if they were delayed, more conflicts would arise.

After they trotted away into the corridor, Pei Xia stamped her feet and complained, "Why don't I believe that Madam Liu will be sad? There are very few people in the Lu Mansion who truly shed tears for the Madam. If you weren't there to take care of it, I'm afraid we wouldn't even be able to have a grand funeral!"

She was right.

In order to give Zhang a final dose of dignity, Su He bought everything with her own money. Otherwise, relying on the meager money in the Lu Mansion's treasury, Zhang would be sad in her grave.

"My mother-in-law passed away, and I should provide financial and physical support. Let's not mention this matter again." Su He said.

On the long corridor, a master and a servant walked one after the other.

Pei Xia followed closely behind her, but she felt a little unfair: "I just feel that the young lady is too tired. Since the death of the eldest lady yesterday, you have not been able to rest for a while. Since Master Lu has given the divorce letter, the young lady has no connection with the Lu family. It's fine for her to preside over the funeral, but why do you have to accompany the old lady to Shangqing Temple?"

Liu is shrewd and insidious, and Shangqing Temple is located outside the capital. Who knows what they are up to?

"The old lady has a plan. Even if I can escape the first day, I can't escape the fifteenth. It's better to fall into her trap. Pei Xia, your young lady is very smart now."

Su He knew that she was worried about herself, but it was not good to keep hiding like a coward. She should also let Liu suffer some of the consequences.

Hearing this, Pei Xia felt a little more at ease.

Fortunately, the young lady has nothing to do with the Lu family now. After praying at Shangqing Temple, they will live in peace and never see each other again!

Outside the corridor was a rockery, and on the gravel-paved flower path stood a dark figure.

Pei Xia had sharp eyes and immediately reprimanded the strange figure. When the man turned around, he saw that it was a familiar face and bowed hurriedly: "Hello, Lord Lu!"

This is where the front yard and the back yard are connected. Why did Lu Huaihe come here?

Su He was slightly startled, wondering how much of their conversation had been overheard. Then he thought that he had nothing to do with Lu Yanxiu, so even if someone overheard it, it wouldn't be a big deal, and it wasn't a rare thing.

Lu Huaihe's eyes vaguely passed over Su He's face.

He secretly stroked his fingertips, his Adam's apple slid slightly, and after a few seconds of silence, he walked towards her and explained, "Lu Yanxiu brought me here to walk and talk, but I didn't expect that one of the concubines in the mansion had something to do and called a doctor, so he left first, leaving me here alone."

It turned out that he came with Lu Yanxiu.

Su He felt relieved, and she said, "My uncle looks very respectable, so he couldn't be the playboy who peeks around in the backyard, right?"

She bowed and smiled, "Since my husband is not here, Sir Lu, please come with me to the front hall and sit down."

The word "husband" sounded so fluent and familiar, as if she had called him this name countless times in the days and nights before. The two short words brought a strange pain to Lu Huaihe's ears.

He pondered for a few moments, said "OK" in a sullen voice, and walked quietly behind Su He.

Because he was a stranger, Su He walked faster and kept his distance, but for some reason, he recalled the scene in the guest room of the Princess's mansion...

She lay weakly on the bed, her eyes were moist and her bright red pupils were like a frightened deer, the room was filled with the charming spring scenery.

Su He couldn't help but close her eyes, trying to get rid of those images, but they kept coming back to her mind.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Pei Xia noticed that something was wrong with her. Why did her ears turn red for no reason?

Su He hurriedly shook his head: "Nothing."

Lu Huaihe, who was walking at the end, noticed that her ears were slightly red and her plain face was stained with a faint blush, and he took in her subtle changes.

Su He quickly covered her face with a handkerchief and pretended nothing happened.

After walking out of the corridor and coming to the front yard, she didn't dare to look at Lu Huaihe, avoiding his gaze and said unnaturally: "Sir Lu, the hall is in front, you go first, I have to go to the mourning hall to see if there is anything else I need..."

Su He bowed slightly and walked away in the opposite direction without looking back. For some reason, he always felt that there was a burning gaze staring at him from behind.

If she hadn't been afraid of looking back at Lu Huaihe's simple and noble face, she really couldn't help but want to look back.

On the steps of the corridor with carved beams and painted buildings.

It was not until he saw Su He, who was wearing coarse linen mourning clothes, disappear that Lu Huaihe withdrew his gaze and walked out of the mansion.

Qingyun was waiting outside, and when he saw him coming, he hurriedly pulled up the curtain of the carriage.

"Sir, is everything going well?"

Lu Huaihe hummed.

Qingyun thought that Lu Yanxiu would just keep the young master company, at least for tea and dinner, but he didn't expect him to come out so soon? But it was true, the young master had nothing to do with the Lu family, and it was good enough that he came to pay his respects after Zhang's death.

The princess had already given instructions that only someone needed to be sent to express her condolences, but who knew how the young master would be able to get away from his pile of official duties and come here to lie down?

"Sir, are you going to the Princess's Mansion?"

Lu Huaihe said: "Let's go to the Dali Temple."

"Yes."

As the wheels moved forward, the wailing sounds from the Lu mansion gradually faded away.

On the way around Zhuque Street towards Dali Temple, a wealthy family was holding a wedding. The servants were happily carrying the dowry box tied with red ribbons. The bride was shyly sitting in the wedding sedan. Everyone was smiling and congratulating them, and they were walking towards the man's house happily.

Lu Huaihe asked Qingyun to stop the carriage on the side of the road and stood there watching for a long time.
