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

Poor young lady, she just wanted to have a good sleep, but her sweet dream was disturbed for no reason.

"Okay Pei Xia, just open the door and I'll go in and see her..."

Pei Xia tried to stop him again, her tone even colder: "Master Qi, please stop. If you force your way into the mansion, I will report you to the police!"

Qi Sheng leaned against the door of the house, seemingly collapsed on the ground powerlessly, with a look of regret, like that of a beggar who couldn't get food.

"If I had married later..."

Before he finished speaking, the clothes on his shoulders were lifted up by someone. Qi Sheng looked up in a daze and saw a man's face.

After seeing the identity of the person, his legs and feet trembled, and he quickly got up from the ground and stood aside properly, and called out in a weak voice: "Lu...Master Lu."

Lu Huaihe smelled alcohol and looked at Qi Sheng carefully. The dim light from the lanterns poured down from above and fell on his cold face, making it impossible to tell his emotion.

"Master Qi is not at home with his wife?"

"I...I want to see an old friend."

Lu Huaihe knew that Qi Sheng had grown up with Su He. They had to walk into school one after the other and stand guard when going to the toilet.

The two had known each other since childhood, and were old acquaintances in Beijing, but they had lost contact after Su He got married.

Now Qi Sheng takes the initiative to interact with Su He. Isn't it difficult to see what he is thinking?

But things are different now, and they are no longer the same as before.

Lu Huaihe called Qingyun over and said, "Send Young Master Qi back home."

"No! I want to see Su He!" Qi Sheng jumped up stubbornly, grabbing the handle of the door and refusing to leave.

Lu Huaihe said: "Tie him up with a rope and arrange for someone to send him back."

Qingyun agreed and really took out a long rope. Qi Sheng was a little afraid of Lu Huaihe. Not to mention his official title, he couldn't afford to offend him just because of his identity as the eldest princess's son.

Because he was still drunk, Qi Sheng pouted like a child, stared at Qingyun pitifully and said, "Don't tie it too tight..."

After sending the people away, the scene in front of Su's house became quiet. Pei Xia pushed open the door and thanked Lu Huaihe.

Lu Huaihe glanced at the silent candlelight in the house and said lightly: "Go back and rest."

"Yes."

After the door was closed, Lu Huaihe looked up at the plaque of the Su residence, recognized it as Su He's handwriting, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Qingyun saw him staring at a plaque and was lost in thought, and said silently: "I never saw you get up to stop the fight next door in the middle of the night before, but Young Master Qi just knocked on the door a few times and you were disturbed..."

The night was getting deeper.

Qi Sheng was sent back to the mansion drunk. Madam Duan stamped her feet in anger at his useless appearance. The nanny beside him also felt ashamed when she saw the young master like this. How could she wait for someone to get divorced before approaching him?

"Madam, how about I give you some advice?"

"Say it."

"As long as Su He doesn't get married, the young master will have hope. Why don't you act as a matchmaker, pick out a suitable candidate in the capital, and arrange a marriage for Su He?"

Mrs. Duan knew Su He's character and was afraid that she would not obey her arrangements obediently.

Mammy blinked her eyes: "Su He is a woman after all. If she doesn't get married, who will she rely on? She can't always let the Su family support her, right? In my opinion, she hasn't met a man who loves her, otherwise she would have married willingly long ago."

Mrs. Duan thought about it carefully and felt that this was true.

If Su He doesn't listen to advice, she can go to the Su family and talk to them.

In short, Sheng'er must give up the idea as soon as possible, she is still waiting to hold her grandson!

Early in the morning, Su He sat at the desk looking at the account book.

Her dowry included four shops, namely a cloth shop, an inn and two restaurants. When she was in the Lu Mansion, all the income was used for public purposes. Later, Liu also placed some of her own people working in them.

Now that the relationship has been severed, she has to take back the sovereignty of the shop as soon as possible.

After a quick glance at the account books, I found that except for the cloth shop, the inns and restaurants were almost all running at a loss, with little surplus.

Su He found it strange. There were a constant stream of people coming and going in the capital. Take a shop for example, the profit should be at least a hundred taels a day. How could the shop be unable to make ends meet?

"Miss, is there a problem with the account book?"

"Before, I was busy with the trivial matters of the Lu Mansion and rarely paid attention to the shop. Today, I saw that there was a problem with the accounts. I am afraid that the people under me don't take me seriously at all."

Pei Xia frowned: "What should we do? Those shops were obtained by Madam from the family with great efforts. The two concubines are particularly dissatisfied because of this. Now Su Yun and Su Lian are also asking for the same dowry as you. If the shops are not managed properly, I am afraid that the master will..."

When Su Yun and Su Lian were mentioned, Su He's brows were filled with coldness. She put the account book away and asked Pei Xia to take it with her. She planned to go to the shop to take a look today.

The Zhaixing Restaurant was the shop that suffered the biggest loss, and Su He was the first to arrive here.

It was almost noon and there were not many people in the restaurant, with empty tables everywhere.

Seeing someone coming in, the waiter who was lazily lying beside the wine cabinet came over with a smile and asked, "What would you two like to eat?"

Su He said, "It's our signature dish. One portion each."

The waiter looked the two up and down and said with a grin, "Okay, please come in, gentlemen. Have some tea first, and the signature dishes will be here soon!"

Su He looked at the interior of the restaurant, and his eyes turned and fell on the stained glass window on the second floor. Pei Xia followed his gaze and rubbed his eyes in surprise: "Isn't that..."

The person sitting at the side is Lu Yunqing. She wouldn't come to the restaurant for dinner for no reason. The person sitting opposite her must be Li Qi.

Su He gave Pei Xia a look, and she immediately walked closer to check, and it was indeed Lu Yunqing and Li Qi!

"Miss Lu was crying and Master Li was comforting her. As for what she said, I didn't hear it because I was too far away."

Pei Xia was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to get too close, but he still saw Lu Yunqing's face clearly. It was indeed her, there was no way it was fake.

After the Autumn Banquet, Lu Yunqing was afraid of losing Li Qi, and she already had a sense of crisis in her heart, so she hurried to meet Li Qi to give herself reassurance.

Su He didn't expect that Yu'er would come to him on his own initiative.

She asked Pei Xia to come closer to her ear and whispered a few words to her. After Pei Xia agreed, he left the restaurant.

On the seat by the carved window on the second floor.

Lu Yunqing wiped her tears with a handkerchief, bit her lip and looked at Li Qi, her eyes full of affection: "I know that my aunt looks down on our Lu family because we are a small family, but the family foundation is not something I can help. As a woman, who doesn't want to be an enviable noble lady in the capital? I can only blame myself for being born into the wrong family and not finding a good family..."

After she finished speaking, two tears squeezed out and fell on the edge of the table, which made Li Qi anxious. He patted her shoulders in a panic to comfort her.

"My family has arranged a marriage for me. I have indeed met Miss Zhao, but she is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you. Yunqing, don't let your imagination run wild. I will definitely give you a legitimate status!"
