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

Before Qi Sheng appeared, Lu Huaihe didn’t take it seriously. He thought a young boy posed no danger to him.

Now that a group of young portraits were placed in front of Su He, Lu Huaihe felt a little bit like a cat scratching his heart.

Compared with those high-spirited men in their early twenties, his silence and indifference seemed out of place. Su He was still young, and even if she was divorced, she was still in her prime. In addition, she was beautiful and had a good family background, so there must be many men chasing after her.

Lu Huaihe couldn't help but laugh.

It really is true what I said at the beginning.

Miss Su is beautiful, intelligent, and virtuous. I'm sure all the men in Beijing will flock to her.

Su Mansion, the hall is full.

After Wang and Madam Duan carefully examined the portraits of all the men, they looked at Su He with a smile. Seeing that she was unmoved, they gently advised, "Ah He, don't be so reserved. There are many women who have remarried in the capital. Don't care about other people's opinions. Come and take a look. The second son of Li Taifu is talented and handsome. He is a perfect match for you."

Su He glanced at the portrait and found that there was a big black mole on the right corner of his mouth. The overall look was extremely disappointing.

Madam Duan added: "This mole has a particular shape. The one near the mouth should be a lucky mole, which means you will have no worries about food and drink, and even more about your future. Don't you think so, sister?"

She asked Wang with a smile.

Wang, who had been observing her daughter's expression, forced a smile in response, put the portrait of the second son of Li Taifu's family at the bottom, and said deliberately: "Marriage is about fate. Our Ah He doesn't agree to marry everyone he sees. The reason we married the Lu family was because of fate. If Lu Yanxiu hadn't rescued Ah He from the water at the Lantern Festival, how could the later things have happened?"

When Su He heard her mother mention the Lantern Festival four years ago, she thought of her first meeting with Lu Yanxiu, and the coldness that had passed over the years, and a feeling of bitterness and hatred rose in her heart.

"Lantern party?"

Madam Duan thought about it carefully. She was also at the Lantern Festival that year. She naturally knew that Su He fell into the moat, but wasn't the person who saved her at that time...

She asked tentatively: "You said that the person who saved Ah He was Lu Yanxiu?"

Wang nodded.

Mrs. Duan frowned and murmured in a low voice: "Wrong, wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wanrong felt like she was playing guessing games.

"I said, it wasn't Lu Yanxiu who saved Ah He that night!" Madam Duan clapped her hand on her thigh and turned her head to look at Su He. Seeing her staring at her with flickering eyes, she couldn't help but recall the situation that day: "When you fell into the water, the first person you saw was Sheng'er. He wanted to jump into the water to save you, but I didn't allow him... Ahem, it's not that I didn't allow him, but I thought it was too dangerous. You know Sheng'er is my favorite child. While I was hesitating, a figure rushed down decisively. When he rescued you, I saw clearly that it was the eldest princess's only son, Lord Lu, the Minister of the Dali Temple!"

"He was soaked to the skin! After checking your pulse and finding nothing wrong, he rushed to catch the fugitive with his sword in hand without even taking a breath..."

Su He's lips moved slightly, her watery eyes flashed, and her body seemed to be frozen.

Fugitive...

On the night of the Lantern Festival, because of a fugitive, people were in a panic and the crowds were crowded.

Su He was accidentally knocked into the water while releasing lanterns by the moat. She was afraid of water since she was a child, and she closed her eyes tightly while struggling for fear of falling in. Suddenly she fell into a strong and broad embrace and she dared to let go.

But she choked on a lot of water because of her struggle, and she had fainted when she was rescued to the shore. When she opened her eyes again, Lu Yanxiu was guarding her earnestly, which made Su He mistakenly believe that she was the one who saved her.

Wang asked in disbelief, "Mrs. Duan, are you telling the truth?"

Madam Duan put her hands together and said Amitabha: "My dear sister, I must not talk nonsense about the merit of saving people! When Lord Lu picked Ah He up from the lake, it was I who handed him the clean clothes..."

Su He could no longer remember what was said in the hall.

I only remember that it was Lu Huaihe who saved her.

But at that time, the weak Su He once asked Lu Yanxiu: "Did you save me?"

Lu Yanxiu hesitated for a few seconds, did not answer, but nodded lightly.

Su He therefore became more determined in his thinking.

From then on, she began to regard Lu Yanxiu as her savior, so she was willing to do anything for him.

Looking back now, I feel really regretful for having given my heart to the wrong person.

Su He looked a little dazed, with her fingers intertwined, carefully recalling all the scenes with Lu Huaihe.

Fragmented and disorganized.

In her previous life, Su He had very few interactions with Lu Huaihe. She only knew that he was her elder and an unattainable powerful official.

But when everyone in the Su family died in the fire, he was the one who investigated the case day and night, vowing to bring justice to the Su family.

Whenever Su He thought of Lu Huaihe, his light tone would always come to his mind.

"Lu Yanxiu and I are collateral relatives, so you don't have to address me in such a formal way."

"Just follow the name I gave you in the bamboo house that day."

"Lu Yuan..."

Su He clenched her fingers, and the silk handkerchief was crumpled into a ball.

At that time, the servant came forward to report that Young Master Qi had arrived.

Mrs. Duan's face changed and she stood up immediately: "What is he doing here?"

Qi Sheng is already married and has a dignified and generous wife at home, but he still runs to the Su Mansion to embarrass himself?

Without waiting for Madam Duan's reaction, Qi Sheng had already strode into the hall, his eyes naturally falling on Su He. Seeing that she was distracted for a moment, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and stood in front of the hall and said respectfully to Wang: "Qi Sheng greets my aunt and Sister Zhao."

Wang smiled and said, "You came here alone?"

Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Wang said, "Now that you have a family, it would be more appropriate for you to bring your wife with you when you visit me in the future."

Mrs. Duan felt a little relieved after hearing these words.

He glanced at Qi Sheng again and was immediately furious. His eyes were almost fixed on Su He!

"I came here today because I heard that the mansion wanted to arrange a marriage for Ah He."

Mrs. Duan's heart skipped a beat. She didn't tell anyone about this when she left in the morning. How did he know about this?

Wang was stunned and didn't know what he meant.

Zhao Wanrong said: "Ah He is all alone, and my mother feels sorry for her loneliness, so she wants to see if there is a suitable candidate in the capital. What is Young Master Qi doing..."

Qi Sheng's cheeks turned red and he was about to kneel down in front of Wang.

"Mother!"

Su He suddenly spoke.

She looked unhappy, and without even glancing at Qi Sheng, she stood up and bowed to Wang and Madam Duan: "I feel a little unwell, so I'll go back first."

Without waiting for the people in the hall to answer, Su He walked outside decisively.

"Ah He..." Qi Sheng called out nervously.

After not seeing her for a long time, she looks even more charming.

She used to be a young and tender girl next door, but now she has become a mature and virtuous lady from a noble family.

Qi Sheng's throat moved, he had a lot to say to Su He.
