Lu Yanxiu and Liu Qiuqiu had been together for a long time. At that time, he wanted to take Liu Qiuqiu into the mansion, but Liu Shi did not allow it. So the two had to keep in touch outside the mansion.

Later, Lu Yanxiu met Su He and planned to climb up the social ladder by relying on his father-in-law, who was the Minister of Rites. At that time, he also sincerely wanted to break up with Liu Qiuqiu and live a good life with Su He.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qiuqiu was found to be pregnant at this time. She did not want the child to affect Lu Yanxiu's marriage, so she secretly had an abortion in the other courtyard. It was Lu Yunqing who accidentally saw it and brought the matter to Liu.

In order to allow Liu Qiuqiu to have a stable pregnancy, Su He and Lu Yanxiu's wedding was postponed for half a year. However, no one heard the rumors at that time and did not know that the wedding was postponed because of Liu Qiuqiu's existence.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean..."

Lu Yunqing thought back to what happened with Liu Qiuqiu, and her tearful eyes lit up slightly.

Although Liu Qiuqiu was a concubine, her brother doted on her so much that he even divorced his sister-in-law for her. What about Li Qi? Would he be the same when he embraced her with such deep affection and sweet words?

Su He said: "Yun Qing, I know you want to marry a rich man, and I hope your dream will come true. But the official rank of Li Qi is very different from that of Lu Mansion. If you want to become his legal wife, I'm afraid it's a bit risky."

"But think about it, there is a huge difference between the status of Aunt Liu and your brother, and didn't I help them in the same way?"

Su He looked at Lu Yunqing quietly, observing the little bit of hope burning in her eyes.

In her previous life, Su He considered herself the best sister-in-law. After learning that Chen did not want to become relatives with the Lu family, she promptly dissuaded Lu Yunqing from forcing her to marry into the family and being treated as inferior.

But now she doesn't want to do that.

The voice of Lu Yunqing calling Liu Qiuqiu "sister-in-law" seemed to echo in her ears. She wondered if they also called each other that in private in the other courtyard? How many times did they call her that?

Since you like that sister-in-law, why not take her as an example?

"Is what you said true?" There was hope on Lu Yunqing's face.

Su He smiled and said, "Of course."

Lu Yunqing thought of Zhao Liuyun's attitude. If Su He really acted the same, maybe they were proud of their status and would not share a husband with other women. Otherwise, how could Liu Qiuqiu's entry into the mansion cause Su He to directly ask for a divorce?

"Thank you for your advice, sister-in-law." She bowed with her head lowered, and her former arrogance disappeared without a trace. If she had known this would happen, she would not have argued with Su He at the funeral hall that day.

Su He accepted the thanks and turned to leave.

Where Lu Yunqing couldn't see, her expression gradually turned cold.

In her previous life, Lu Yunqing was not married to Li Qi in advance, so after she dissuaded him from breaking up with Li Qi, she was still able to rely on her face and sweet mouth to marry someone else.

It’s not that easy nowadays.

A woman's innocence is like a wall of defense. How could Lu Yunqing, who is still waiting to be married, let her innocence be destroyed by others?

Su He thought that it was because her choice of divorce had slightly changed the original reality, so Lu Yunqing listened to Li Qi's words and gave herself completely to him.

She had no better choice than Li Qi.

Under the maple forest, the path is covered with fiery red fallen leaves.

Zhao Wanrong finally waited for Su He to come along, and then she smiled when she saw that Lu Yunqing hadn't followed her.

"Ah He, stand in the woods and I'll have someone paint a picture of you."

"it is good."

Su He tidied her appearance, turned sideways and stood under the maple tree. The wind blew her ink-splashed hair, freezing the picture on the drawing paper.

Lu Yunqing left before the Autumn Banquet was over.

She hurried back to Lu's Mansion and asked her maid to secretly send a letter to General Xuan De's Mansion, hoping to see Li Qi as soon as possible.

Although she already had a vague direction in her mind, Zhao Liuyun's existence still made her feel uncomfortable. It was obvious that she and Li Qi had known each other and loved each other first, and a young lady who appeared out of nowhere wanted to snatch him away. Isn't it too overbearing?

"Miss, the old lady and Aunt Liu don't seem to be getting along these past two days. This morning, they cried and had a quarrel in front of the young master, and they are still angry now."

Lu Yunqing carefully placed the white jade hairpin with peony flowers in her hair into the jewelry box. She only had these one or two treasures left, and if she wasn't careful, everything would be gone.

After hearing the maid Chuntao's report, she hesitated and became curious: "Grandmother likes to listen to Yuxuan the most, right? Why did they quarrel?"

"I heard from people in Weirui Pavilion that the old lady suspected that there was something hidden about Concubine Liu's identity... After Concubine Liu learned the news, she had a big fight with the young master. She fainted on the spot due to anger and even had a miscarriage. This scared the old lady so much that she dared not investigate further."

There was a lot of information in these words, but Lu Yunqing was absent-minded. She looked at her reflection in the bronze mirror, only thinking about how to dress herself up so that Li Qi would feel pitiful.

The image of Zhao Liuyun's pear blossom seemed to still appear in front of my eyes. She was pretty and very attractive. I wonder how Li Qi felt about her?

Su Zhai.

Su He felt a little tired after returning from the Autumn Banquet. He ate only a little dinner and went to bed to sleep.

Pei Xia told the news about the Lu Mansion that he had heard. When he mentioned Lu Yunqing, he paused before saying, "She really went out at night. I guess she was having a private meeting with General Xuande."

"Let her be." Su He closed her eyes, put the quilt against her chin and prepared to fall asleep, but there was a rapid knock on the door outside.

Pei Xia was annoyed by the voice and hurried out to check. When he learned that the person was Qi Sheng, the second son of Shang Shu Ling, he asked the servant to drive the person away immediately and not let him in.

Now that they have parted ways, the friendship between the young lady and Qi Sheng, who were childhood sweethearts, must not be used by those with ulterior motives to make trouble.

Housekeeper Yu ran in in embarrassment, "That young master refused to leave no matter what, and insisted on meeting the young lady!"

Pei Xia stood in the corridor and thought for a while, then walked towards the gate of the house.

Instead of staying at home in the middle of the night, he came here and knocked on the door loudly. She had never seen such a shameless person.

Outside the house,

Qi Sheng's hands became numb from knocking on the door before he finally saw the door open a crack.

Pei Xia stood on the inside and said in a clear voice: "Master Qi, do you want my young lady to become a laughing stock in the capital tomorrow?"

"I didn't! I just wanted to see Su He. I heard that she... wasn't having a good time in her husband's family. I just wanted to meet her and talk." Qi Sheng's handsome appearance seemed a little decadent, or perhaps depressed, at this moment.

On his way here, he had a big fight with his wife, whom he had married less than three months ago, just because he wanted to go out of the house to see the person he had a crush on in the past.

Pei Xia clicked his tongue twice, thinking that this young master really had something wrong with his brain. One could say that he had not experienced the hardships of the world and did not understand the fear of other people's words.

Just by knocking on this door tonight, rumors about him and Su He will definitely spread tomorrow.
