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

Seeing him so excited to stand up for Liu Qiuqiu, Su He tightened her fingers in her sleeves and pretended to be calm, but the bitterness in her heart surged like a tide.

Lu Yanxiu waved his sleeves, personally helped Liu Qiuqiu up, stroked her belly, and said gently: "You stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy, no one will bully you!"

Su He raised her eyes and looked at Liu Qiuqiu's bulging belly: "The imperial physician in the palace has examined my body and frankly said that there is nothing wrong with me. But my husband has not sought medical treatment for many years. Today, seeing that sister Liu's face is rosy and pregnant, I think I was worrying too much."

Liu Qiuqiu forced a stiff smile, trying to remain calm, holding the children tightly, and pretending to be calm and said: "My husband has always been rude and forceful in matters of the boudoir, and he doesn't know how to be compassionate. There must be no problem. Maybe his desire to have a child moved the heavens..."

Lu Yanxiu recalled that she always felt dull and boring when she was with Su He, and Liu Qiuqiu was a singer who knew how to charm people, otherwise he would not have doted on her alone for three years.

Su He felt uncomfortable listening to the matters in the boudoir, so she smiled to the old lady and took Pei Xia back to the Osmanthus Courtyard.

Old Madam Lu watched her leave resolutely and moved her lips, wanting to persuade her to give up the idea of ​​divorce, not only for Su He, but also for her dowry.

But then he thought again, no matter how much money he had, compared to the descendants of the Lu family, it was nothing but material possessions!

Seeing Su He leave, Liu Qiuqiu secretly winked at her children, and they immediately wiped their tears, stood up and lay on the old lady's legs, saying in a childish voice: "Great-grandmother, we will serve you in the future and will definitely let you enjoy your old age!"

"Good! My dear grandson..."

Seeing the children being so sweet, Mrs. Lu's heart softened and she wanted to hug them and kiss them a few times, but she was too old and her frame couldn't bear it.

After calming down, Lu Yanxiu hesitated: "Grandma, mother's side..."

"Zhang is paralyzed, what else can she do? You just need to win over the people in the court, and I will take care of the affairs in the mansion."

Lu Yanxiu said hello, but his mind was a mess.

Su He is the daughter of the Minister of Rites, and was the apple of her family's eye before she got married. If a divorce letter was really sent out, who knows how the Su family would trip him up in the court.

We need to find a way to deal with this.

At night, the cold dew is very severe.

Madam Lu came to Tingyuxuan to visit Liu Qiuqiu and her son. Seeing that they were not at all uncomfortable, she smiled and said, "Qiqiu, I have pitied you over the years. Now that you are back at the Lu Mansion, don't feel strange. Su He has separated from me, and you are my only granddaughter-in-law."

Liu Qiuqiu's eyes reddened upon hearing this. "Thank you, old lady, for your care over the years. Otherwise, I really don't know if I could have survived. I just feel sorry for Sister Su He. If she really gets divorced and becomes single, I wonder if there will be any man willing to marry her..."

"She is dreaming of a divorce. I will let Yan Xiu abandon her with a divorce letter! The rich and powerful sons in the capital all value a clean reputation. After she leaves the Lu Mansion, who would want to be a broken woman? There is no place in the capital that tolerates her more than our Lu Mansion!"

In the eyes of Mrs. Lu, Lu Yanxiu is her most promising grandson. Even though the Lu family has fallen to such a state, she is still full of hope for Lu Yanxiu and looks forward to the day when he will be promoted to the highest official rank.

Osmanthus Courtyard.

Su He asked Pei Xia to put the account book away, as she would settle everything with Lu Yanxiu one day.

Now I just need to wait for his divorce letter so that I can leave the Lu Mansion.

However, a calculating person like Lu Yanxiu would not let her leave easily with her dowry. In addition, Liu Qiuqiu would soon find out that the Lu Mansion was not as glamorous as it seemed, and her wish to become a wealthy lady would never come true.

"Miss, your uncle's behavior is really immoral and unbearable to watch! The twins look more than three years old. I guess they were already..."

Pei Xia was afraid that Su He would be sad, so she suppressed her unhappiness and didn't complain a single word.

Even if she doesn't say it, it doesn't mean no one knows.

Su He knew clearly how much Mrs. Lu valued the Lu family's bloodline. Comparing her with Liu Qiuqiu, the Lu family would only choose the latter.

Lu Yanxiu was even more cautious. He didn't want to damage the relationship with the Su family because of this matter, nor did he want Qiqi to take their children away from the Lu family.

I want both, so I have evil thoughts.

In the previous life, it was Su He who had always refused to give up the throne, and Liu Qiuqiu's instigation led Lu Yanxiu to put the blame on the Su family and accuse them of treason.

This time she proposed divorce first. No matter whether Lu Yanxiu agreed or not, she had to find a way to leave the Lu Mansion.

Being close to her would cause more trouble. Liu Qiuqiu's mind was fickle and her actions were sinister. She was afraid that she could not guard against him.

"Don't make the divorce public for now. Listen to Yuxuan and send someone to keep an eye on what's going on."

"This slave knows."

Inside Tingyuxuan, Liu Qiuqiu was taking a nap on the couch, stroking her belly. She was not sleeping soundly and she dreamed of a golden dragon circling above her head.

After waking up, he was overjoyed and wanted to see Lu Yanxiu immediately. He told him about his dream about the golden dragon. They were both very happy.

"I had twins, a boy and a girl, for the first time. The wish of others for both sons and daughters came true. This time I dreamed of a golden dragon. I guess it must be God's blessing, telling me in advance? The golden dragon has a special meaning. Our twins will definitely bring great wealth to the Lu family!"

Liu Qiuqiu may not have any other talents, but she is first-rate at sweet-talking and coaxing people.

However, dreaming about a golden dragon is not something that should be publicized everywhere. If heard by someone with ulterior motives, it might be reported to the court, which is a capital crime, punishable by death!

Lu Yanxiu asked Liu Qiuqiu to be careful with her words and actions. Now that she was in the Lu Mansion, there were many people around and it was better for her to be careful.

"My dear, since I have followed you into the mansion, I don't care about reputation or status. But our children Yi'er and Jiao'er cannot live without a name or status. They are already old enough to go to school, so we must not refuse any more."

It's not realistic to send them to school. Wouldn't it make others suspicious if a pair of three-year-old children suddenly appeared in the Lu Mansion for no reason?

But Lu Yi and Lu Jiao cannot delay their learning any longer, and Lu Yanxiu is determined to train them to become the best among children of the same age in Beijing.

Thinking of this, he came up with an idea.

"Why not find a reliable teacher to come to your house and teach?"

Lu Yanxiu knew a few poor teachers who were quite knowledgeable, and it was not difficult for him to spend some money to get them to come to his house.

Liu Qiuqiu was somewhat dissatisfied with his careful consideration. Su He didn't have any children anyway, so what was wrong with the Lu family publicly admitting that they had a pair of twins?

She turned sideways, threw the handkerchief in her hand away, and said in a tantrum: "Yier Jiao'er is my child after all, you are so afraid of others knowing, how can you be worthy of me? You should know that the night I gave birth was your wedding, and you were at home with the bride, but I had no one to take care of me, so I cut the umbilical cord by myself and brought the child back to life!"
