My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official
Chapter 22: Don't Spread the Word
The words he had mistakenly heard among the rockery rocks came to his ears. Every word was repeatedly weighed in his mind, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened as he recalled it.
Lu Huaihe looked at the groom riding on the horse with a smile on his face, and he felt the satisfaction of obtaining a rare treasure.
He was distracted for a moment, and his eyes, which were like the green mountains, seemed to have dispersed the clouds and mist, revealing a clear light.
"How much is the appropriate amount of betrothal gift? Are eighty boxes enough?"
Qingyun was stunned, then his eyebrows lit up with joy, and he raised his voice and said, "Young Master, you... finally got it! Whose lady is this? Have I seen her? Eighty boxes of betrothal gifts should not be enough, right? The eldest princess has prepared a whole mansion of betrothal gifts for you..."
Not until the newlyweds' team walked away did Lu Huaihe withdraw his gaze. Perhaps he himself did not even notice that there was a cluster of tenderness in his eyes.
But Qingyun saw it.
He covered his mouth, amazed at the details he had discovered so discerningly!
The eldest princess has been longing for a daughter-in-law for more than 20 years. Is her dream about to come true?
After a moment, Lu Huaihe restrained his expression, gave Qingyun a look, and whispered a warning: "Don't spread it around."
Qingyun said yes repeatedly.
After Lu Huaihe got back into the carriage, he drove the carriage and deliberately said in a loud voice: "Young Master, when you are going to marry, of course the betrothal gifts will flow like water and the love will be like real gold. But you can't lose the dignity of our Princess's Mansion! The Princess is very rich..."
In the car, Lu Huaihe raised his eyebrows intentionally, but he was not really angry.
Lu Mansion, inside Tingyuxuan.
The calming incense rising from the incense burner could be smelled throughout the room. Liu Qiuqiu lay on the bed, retracted her wrist, and asked the doctor carefully: "How is it? Is the fetus okay?"
"My aunt, there is nothing wrong with the baby in your belly. You just need to rest and rest."
Liu Qiuqiu felt that the doctor did not take her pulse carefully. She was enjoying the flowers in the yard just now when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and almost fainted. Fortunately, Mingchun supported her in time!
She looked at Lu Yanxiu pitifully, tears falling down with grievance: "Could it be that the wronged spirit of the eldest lady is still here? She has never liked me..."
As soon as these words came out, Lu Yanxiu immediately refuted: "Even if mother doesn't like it, you are pregnant with the blood of the Lu family, and she has no reason to do anything wrong! In my opinion, you didn't get enough rest last night. I will ask the maid to make you some ginseng soup and close your eyes to sleep for a while, okay?"
Regardless of the doctor being present, Liu Qiuqiu went straight into Lu Yanxiu's arms and rubbed against him, saying in a tickling voice, "I was scared last night and didn't get enough rest. Husband, please don't leave. Come sleep with me, okay?"
The doctor blushed and thought: Where did this aunt come from? Why is she so rude?
Lu Yanxiu did not agree, and pushed her away from his arms, explaining: "Today is my mother's funeral, I must stay in front of the mourning hall, otherwise it would be unfilial. Qiqi, you have always been the most obedient, don't make it difficult for me."
Liu Qiuqiu knew that even if she acted like a spoiled child, she could only do so much. Lu Yanxiu was not a perfect person, and once his patience was exhausted, he would immediately turn his face away. She had followed Lu Yanxiu for so many years and had already understood his personality.
"Then...you have to come visit me later."
Lu Yan is good at practicing Taoism.
Before leaving, Liu Qiuqiu called him again, put her arms around his neck, leaned over and kissed him before reluctantly letting him go.
For some reason, Lu Yanxiu suddenly remembered Su He standing in front of the mourning hall in coarse linen mourning clothes, with bright eyes that were a little more solemn today. But she seemed to have never taken the initiative to do anything intimate to Lu Yanxiu, even holding hands could make her cheeks blush.
She is very different from Liu Qiuqiu.
One is like a lotus flower in a jade pond, pure, noble and independent.
One is like a climbing rose, growing along the wall.
Lu Yanxiu thought that if Su He really did the same things as Liu Qiuqiu to please others, she would no longer be a rich lady.
There was silence in front of the mourning hall, and no guests stayed there. Lu Yanxiu thought Lu Huaihe would be waiting at the mansion, but was told that he had already left the Lu Mansion.
He also wanted to ask Lu Huaihe about some things about Princess Zhaoyang. If he could get her favor, the prosperity of the Lu family would be just around the corner!
Lu Yanxiu took his anger out on Su He, blaming her for not keeping the distinguished guest.
Seeing her kneeling beside the brazier burning the last of the paper money, he walked up to her in two or three steps, snatched the paper money from her hand and scattered it in the air, saying in a resentful tone: "Why didn't you keep Lord Lu? You know, if the Lu Mansion could get his help, how much easier it would be for us."
The paper money fell to the ground with the wind. Su He bent down to pick it up and put it back into the brazier. The flames illuminated her eyes.
"Master Lu, are you confused? You have already handed over the divorce agreement to me, and I don't need to take care of the affairs of the mansion anymore. Moreover, making friends with the rich and powerful is your business, what does it have to do with a woman like me? Master Lu, is it possible that you have nowhere to vent your anger and think I am easy to bully?"
Lu Zhili and Lu Yunqing, who were standing by, seemed to have heard some great news. Their sister-in-law and elder brother had divorced? How come they hadn't heard the news?
"You..." Lu Yanxiu was speechless. He actually had forgotten about this. He glanced at her, flicked his sleeves heavily and said no more.
Su He was right, she had nothing to do with the Lu family anymore.
However, it might be inappropriate to mention this matter in front of Zhang's spirit tablet.
"Sister-in-law, are you and your brother really divorced?"
Lu Yunqing didn't expect Su He to be so resolute? As a woman, where could she go after leaving the Lu Mansion? Back to the Su family? Would the Su family, a family of such high status, tolerate such a woman to return?
Su He lit a stick of incense, closed his eyes and bowed three times before he stood up and responded to Lu Yunqing.
"Divorce...my brother actually agreed to it?" She frowned, as if she didn't understand.
This statement was somewhat ambiguous, and Pei Xia couldn't help but want to refute it.
Su He smiled faintly: "Do you think there is anything wrong?"
There was a smile on her cheek, but it did not reach her eyes. Her gaze was as sharp as a knife as she looked straight at Lu Yunqing.
"I'm just curious. It's obviously you who have no children, and it's obvious that your brother should write a letter of divorce, so why is it just a divorce?" Su He has never had any conflicts with Lu Yunqing in this life, and this time it is a head-on confrontation.
She did not hide the contempt in her tone, as if not being able to have children was a huge sin.
"Today is your mother's funeral, why are you still wearing a pair of ruby earrings?"
Su He spoke in a low voice, his eyes fell calmly on Lu Yunqing's ears. The ruby earrings hanging on her ears became the only bright color on her body.
"You are no longer my sister-in-law, why do you care about me? What kind of earrings I wear is my own business...ah! It hurts!"
Lu Yunqing stopped talking before she finished speaking. She suddenly felt a sharp pain in her left ear. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the blood-stained ruby earring falling into Su He's hand.
"You...you dare to pull off my earrings?"
