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

Although Lu Yanxiu was extremely reluctant, he had no idea what she was up to, so he had to invite the clan members. Soon the ancestral hall was filled with elders.

Liu was one of the most senior relatives among them and sat in the main seat. On her left and right were the Lu family's side branches and cousins, who were not considered close relatives.

After everyone gathered, Lu Yanxiu sat lazily and looked at Su He impatiently, "If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. I have to go back to accompany Qiqi!"

The elders had already heard about Lu Yanxiu's romantic affairs, so when they heard about Liu Qiuqiu, they were not curious. Instead, they thanked her for giving birth to Yanxiu's children.

Su He knew that none of them supported her, and only Zhang still cared about her, but unfortunately she was disabled and had passed away.

"Pei Xia, bring the things here."

Pei Xia had already returned to the Osmanthus Courtyard and brought back a wooden box inlaid with pearls. When she opened it, she saw a marriage certificate with yellowed paper inside.

When Lu Yanxiu saw the object from three years ago again, he looked a little surprised.

In his memory, this was the marriage certificate when he proposed to the Su family. Every word on it was written by him personally, and each word was from the heart and full of true feelings.

After all, it was just a piece of paper. Lu Yanxiu thought it had been lost long ago. After all, he had forgotten about it after getting married and didn't take it to heart at all.

"What are you going to do?" He didn't understand why Su He summoned the elders just to look at this useless marriage certificate?

"Do you still remember this marriage certificate?"

Su He spread out the marriage certificate and glanced at it roughly. She knew every word on it by heart and had not forgotten it until now. She was afraid that Lu Yanxiu didn't even know what it meant.

"When we got married, we had three matchmakers and six betrothals, and all the clan members witnessed the wedding. Now that we are getting divorced, if the clan members hide and don't come out to notarize it, wouldn't that be too heartless?"

Some clan members were dissatisfied: "What do you mean by that?"

Liu also squinted her eyes and looked at her.

Su He asked Pei Xia to hand over the subsidized dowry account book to the clan members for review. Lu Yanxiu had already signed on it, promising that he would return every expense in the future.

The account book was passed back and forth in the ancestral hall, and both Liu and Lu Yanxiu looked unhappy.

Since ancient times, only useless husbands would use a woman's dowry, not to mention that Lu Yanxiu used it to support Liu Qiuqiu, which was even more inappropriate.

Most of the clan members were elders of the Lu family, and their ideas were deeply rooted. They all thought that Lu Yanxiu had no future, and he even asked his wife to pay for the dowry? No one said anything for a while.

"There are three copies of this account book, one for me and one for Lu Yanxiu, and one for all the elders. This is in case Lu Yanxiu doesn't acknowledge it in the future. I don't want so much money to go to waste." Su He's voice was not loud, and every word he said sounded particularly contemptuous to Lu Yanxiu's ears.

"As for the marriage certificate, let's leave it at that."

She tore the marriage certificate into pieces, waved her hand, and the scraps of paper flew into the air.

Lu Yanxiu clenched his fists slightly in his sleeves, anger suddenly appeared in his eyes, and his cheeks felt burning with pain.

It was unbearable to see his face being trampled underfoot and crushed in front of so many clan elders and women in the backyard!

Lu Yanxiu stood up suddenly, his eyes gloomy: "We have been married for three years, but today you humiliate me in public. Why are you so heartless?"

Su He smiled, and there was a hint of sadness in his voice.

"There are more ruthless things to come. You'll have to fend for yourself in the future."

The marriage certificate fell to the ground, and Su He stepped on it mercilessly. Seeing this, Lu Yanxiu almost vomited blood, and pointed at her leaving back, shaking and unable to speak.

"Such a woman, mean and stingy, I should have given you a divorce letter in the first place!"

In the crowd, an elder of the clan glanced over and said, "It is not reasonable for our Lu family to use a woman's dowry. Even when the eldest princess got married, the dowry piled up the entire mansion, but no one dared to use a single cent! What's more, you and Su He are marrying up. If this gets out in the capital..."

"Stop talking! Yanxiu is still young and doesn't understand many things. Besides, it was Suhe herself who couldn't have children, so why blame Yanxiu?" Liu finally couldn't help but say.

The elder who spoke first turned away in displeasure, not wanting to waste words with her. They were clearly talking about the use of the dowry, so why did it get to the point where Su He had no children?

There were some hurried knocks on the door outside the Lu Mansion.

Butler Zhu reported: "Master, someone from the Su family is here!"

No matter how dissatisfied Lu Yanxiu was, he did not dare to delay and hurried forward to greet him, only to see Su Ling already rushing into the hall with a dozen servants.

"Brother, this is..."

He still followed Su He's address, and felt a little scared when he saw a dozen servants standing in an orderly manner on one side.

Su Ling glanced at him and said calmly, "I heard that Ah He came back from the temple today. Since she has divorced you, we have no relationship anymore. It's late tonight, you can't leave the house in a hurry and make others laugh at you. I came here this time to protect her tonight."

After saying this, he asked Butler Zhu to take the servants to the Osmanthus Courtyard, as he would personally guard outside the courtyard tonight.

Lu Yanxiu didn't expect Su Ling to bring people in so directly. His neck turned red with anger. Liu and his face also turned slightly red with anger. They pointed at Su Ling and said angrily: "As an outsider, you want to break into the backyard? Where did this rule come from? Is there any law in the Su family?"

When Su Ling came, he had already guessed that Liu would say this. He was already dissatisfied with the Lu family, and now he was even more angry. His eyes stabbed like a knife: "If I hadn't come, I'm afraid that something would happen in the mansion, such as robbing the dowry and hurting Ah He. Old Madam, do you think I'm right?"

Liu's face froze, a trace of panic flashed across her face, and she said, "Nonsense!"

How could Su Ling know what happened back then?

Seeing that Su Ling didn't even care about his grandmother, Lu Yanxiu's face turned pale. He let Butler Zhu take the group to the Osmanthus Courtyard, but he secretly cursed Su Ling in his heart.

In the small courtyard of osmanthus flowers.

Su He looked at the servants of the Su family guarding the courtyard, and felt warm in her heart for no reason. She came to Su Ling with hot tea, "Brother, thank you."

Su Ling drank the tea in one gulp, looked at Su He and said comfortingly: "With us here, no one dares to make trouble. You should go and have a rest. We will leave the Lu Mansion early tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Ting Yuxuan heard the noise coming from the backyard and sent Mingchun out to check. After getting the news, Liu Qiuqiu couldn't help but stand in the corridor and look up, with some envy in her eyes.

"She is really lucky. Even after being kicked out of the mansion by Lu Yanxiu, she still has her family to rely on."

Liu Qiuqiu stroked her belly with a melancholy look in her eyes. When she thought of her relatives at home who were eating the blood of others, her eyes ached.

Until now, Lu Yanxiu didn't know that she still had parents and an older brother, so what? Her family was not worth mentioning, even worse than an orphan.

As soon as the sky began to brighten, the dowry boxes were already being moved in the Osmanthus Courtyard.

The noisy sound reached Weirui Pavilion. Liu had a heart attack and was so angry that she didn't even have the mood to eat breakfast.

When Mrs. Yang heard the news from the temple, she felt sorry for Zou Er and sympathy for Nanny Qin.
