My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official
Chapter 23 May Your Dreams Come True
She cried bitterly because of the pain. She wanted to touch the wound but didn't dare to. She ran into Lu Yanxiu's arms and kept accusing Su He of his behavior.
Lu Yanxiu looked at the wound on his little sister's ear, and the blood beads were about to fall.
Su He held the red jade earring, retracted her gaze, and said slowly and clearly: "How dare you wear bright things at mother's funeral? Lu Yunqing, you are already an adult, but you don't know the rules and etiquette. Do you want mother to rest in peace in the underworld?"
"I just forgot to take it off! Su He, you are so cruel! You actually tore my ear apart? I'm going to complain! I'm going to tell my grandmother!"
In a hurry, Lu Yunqing didn't even want to call her sister-in-law, and started to call Su He by her name.
She covered her bleeding ear, looked down, and screamed in fear.
After all, she was his biological sister, and Lu Yanxiu loved her especially in his heart. At this moment, when he saw the bright scar on her ear, his cold eyes revealed undisguised hatred and contempt.
"Su He, why are you treating Yun Qing like this? She is your sister!"
The tone of the last sentence was a little weak. Lu Yanxiu probably thought that he had no relationship with Su He anymore, and Yun Qing was not her sister.
"I treated her like my own sister. I sent her precious silks, the best rouge and powder, and valuable jewelry like water. I was eligible to attend all the banquets of the women in the capital, and I always left her out. But how did Yunqing, my dear sister, repay me?"
Su He's eyes suddenly turned cold, with a self-deprecating smile on her face, and she even threw the ruby earrings to the ground.
Lu Yunqing's sarcastic words flashed through her mind like a fleeting scene, and every word was like a sharp blade that knocked her down.
Lu Yunqing bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked up at Lu Yanxiu and said, "Brother, I have not done anything to let my sister-in-law down. I swear..."
"Do you dare to say that you know nothing about Liu Qiuqiu's affairs?" Su He's tone was flat, and he unconsciously revealed his innate majesty, which made Lu Yunqing almost speechless and unable to utter a word for a long time.
Her body suddenly tensed up, her pupils slightly dilated, and she wondered in her mind what went wrong?
Obviously, every time he went to the villa to see Liu Qiuqiu, no one noticed her. Su He never suspected anything over the years. How could he know it all of a sudden?
Even Lu Yanxiu felt humiliated when the truth was revealed.
Everyone in the Lu Mansion, except for the Guihua Courtyard, knew about Liu Qiuqiu's existence. It was no longer a hidden secret.
Yun Qing treated Yi'er and Jiao'er very well, and would give them new clothes and rare gadgets every time they celebrated a festival. Whenever she visited the other courtyard in person, she would generously leave a lot of silver for Liu Qiuqiu and the other two.
Others may not know, but Lu Yunqing must know that all that money and all the expenses were obtained by her by using excuses from Su He.
Who told Su He to be so simple-minded that he actually treated her as his sister? If anyone was to blame, it could only be because she didn't give birth to a child for her brother, otherwise how could she be disliked?
"What about Aunt Liu...even if I knew about it, so what? They are my own nephews and nieces! They are my closest blood relatives in the Lu family!"
Lu Yunqing argued, twisting her clothes with her hands, her eyes showing nervousness and uneasiness. But she quickly calmed down. Su He was no threat to her now, so why should she be so scared?
"You are right, they are your biological nephews and nieces..."
Su He thought of his nephews and nieces who died in the sea of fire, and his eyes reddened as he stared at Lu Yunqing.
She opened her lips slightly, glared with her black eyes and said coldly: "Yun Qing, I have always tolerated you and given you advice because you have been in the madam's bed for many years and you are the only lady in the Lu family. I didn't expect that I was actually flattering you! Before the madam passed away, she left a will asking me to take good care of you. Now it seems that there is no need for this at all."
Lu Yunqing was a little surprised. She never thought that her mother would still be thinking about her when she was dying.
In fact, she really didn't want to have a mother like Zhang who had no background. Whenever she saw other rich women with powerful families, she would always feel sad for herself and complain behind her back that she was a useless cripple.
In the past, she started with daily visits, then changed to once every three days, then once every half month, and finally once every month or two months...
"Mother, she..."
"My fate with the Lu family has ended, and the relationship between you and me as sister-in-law has also ended. You are determined to marry a rich man, and I wish your dream will come true."
Su He interrupted Lu Yunqing and didn't want to say anything hypocritical to her at all. Zhang had passed away and nothing else mattered.
As for her dream of marrying into a wealthy family, it will not come true smoothly for the time being.
Su He knew that Lu Yunqing and General Xuanwei had secretly decided to get married, but General Xuanwei's family seemed to have objections to this.
"What else did mother say?"
Lu Zhili, who was standing quietly at one side, finally couldn't help but speak out. The mourning clothes did not hide his handsomeness, but made him look even more elegant.
Su He smiled at him and said two words lightly: "Gone."
She had been standing in front of the mourning hall for too long and felt her soles were a little sore. Pei Xia asked, "Miss, you have been busy with the funeral since yesterday and didn't even get a full night's sleep. If you are tired, why don't you go back and rest first?"
Su He had this in mind, so as to avoid staying here and meeting people from the Lu Mansion, which would only increase his heart attack.
He walked a few steps toward the front of the hall, and suddenly seemed to think of something, turned around and looked at Lu Yanxiu, and said slowly: "Master Lu, please inform the elders of the clan and ask them to make time to come to the Lu Mansion for a gathering. I have something to say to them."
Lu Yanxiu frowned: "What's the matter?"
"You will know it naturally when the time comes. Why ask now?"
Su He rudely brushed him off, glanced at him coldly, and left the mourning hall.
The low-hanging dark clouds in the distance seemed to be about to fall, piling up in the nearby sky, as if they could be touched with the hand.
On the way back to the Osmanthus Courtyard, Pei Xia was dissatisfied that Lu Yunqing had quarreled with the young lady in front of the mourning hall. From what she said, he could see that she didn't regard the young lady as her sister-in-law at all. Besides being angry, he felt a lot of things that were not worth it.
"Miss, now I can see their true colors. It's a pity that I spent so much time on Miss Three."
Su He said: "There is nothing to regret, just stop the loss in time."
After passing through the hanging flower gate and entering the backyard, Su He walked along the gravel path. Seeing that there was no one around, he gave Pei Xia a small task.
When it was completely dark and the evening breeze knocked on the window sill, making bursts of sound, Pei Xia tiptoed back to the Osmanthus Courtyard from Youran Residence and handed the letter he found in the secret compartment to Su He.
"Miss, these are..."
Before Zhang passed away, he told her that there was something very important in Youran Ju. Did he really find it?
Su He opened the yellowed, old letter and was shocked by the contents inside.
Zhang doesn't know how to use pen and paper, so the letter could not have been written by her.
"Miss, what's written on it?" Pei Xia saw that she looked serious and it didn't look like a good thing.
"It's a secret matter of the Lu family."
