My concubine is pregnant, I tear up the marriage certificate and marry another powerful official
Chapter 49 What if we settle the score later?
Su He only felt the warmth on his cheeks and his heart was beating wildly. His mind went blank at the moment he spoke, as if he had no idea what he was doing.
Although the smell of alcohol was strong, it was not enough to make her completely lose her mind.
From the moment Lu Huaihe picked her up by the waist, she remembered all the details clearly, and she even called him "uncle" on purpose.
When Su He saw Lu Huaihe's slightly displeased look, he actually found it somewhat amusing.
The bed curtains were thin and could not block anything.
Her expression was completely exposed to Lu Huaihe.
Su He was silent for a moment, then he pulled his hand back, snuggled into the quilt and said in a muffled voice, "You should go back."
Lu Huaihe looked at her straight, and suddenly smiled: "I'll stay here to guard you, take a rest."
It's chilly in the autumn nights, and you might catch a cold if you stay outside like this.
After Pei Xia brought the sobering soup, he also specially prepared some thick clothes for him. Lu Huaihe did not refuse. He blew out the candle in the outer room and sat quietly on the round wooden chair.
One sitting lasts all night.
The next day, the first thing Su He did when he woke up was to look outside. When he found that there was no one there, his eyes looked a little dim.
She had deliberately made unreasonable requests last night, thinking he would refuse, but she didn't expect him to stay all night.
Lu Yanxiu would never do this.
The door was pushed open, and Pei Xia brought water to help her wash up. When she mentioned Lu Huaihe, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Lord Lu made a special trip to the most popular Chenji Congee Shop to buy breakfast, and also told me to make sure that the young lady finished eating. I thought he was unreliable before, but I didn't expect him to be so considerate."
Su He sat in front of the bronze mirror, stroked the ink in his hand and asked, "When did he leave?"
"I left at daybreak and went directly to the Dali Temple."
The Dali Temple is in charge of judicial trials in the capital. It is busy with official duties on weekdays, and Lu Huaihe rarely has free time.
Su He thought of what happened last night, her hands holding the wooden comb tightened slightly, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.
"Miss, hurry up and get ready. You have to meet with the eldest young lady and Miss Zhao Si today." Pei Xia reminded.
Su He came back to his senses.
Zhao Liuyun's wedding date is approaching, but she has heard rumors about Lu Yunqing, which makes her feel unlucky. She also heard that Su He was Lu Yunqing's sister-in-law, so she wants to make an appointment to find out the details.
Zhao Mansion, Liuguang Courtyard.
Zhao Liuyun wore no makeup and only a plain dress, and her mood was not very pretty.
As soon as she saw Zhao Wanrong and Su He, she couldn't help but ask about Lu Yunqing.
Zhao Wanrong said, "Fourth sister, relax. As long as the position of the legal wife is yours, the rest is up to her."
Zhao Liuyun's eyes were lost, and his tone was complaining: "I'm just a little disappointed. I thought Li Qi was different from other men, but I didn't expect that... I haven't even married yet, and Lu Yunqing wants to be my equal wife. It's really a bit of bullying."
She raised her eyes to look at Su He and said, "Sister Su, you have lived with Lu Yunqing for a few years. What is her character like?"
Su He's mind quickly flashed back to Lu Yunqing's arrogant and domineering appearance, but he had to be more tactful when he spoke, so he said in a gentle voice: "Yunqing is still young and doesn't understand much."
"In this case, I will not agree to her entering the Li family. Otherwise, the marriage between Li Qi and me will be cancelled!"
The daughters of the Zhao family never had trouble finding a husband, so naturally they wouldn't be interested in the newly-minted General Xuande. But Zhao Liuyun was still angry, thinking that Lu Yunqing was deliberately jumping around in front of her.
Su He looked at her determined expression and thought for a moment before asking, "Fourth sister, do you not want to be with General Xuande anymore?"
Zhao Liuyun did not answer.
Ever since the two families revealed the news of the marriage, Li Qiming had met her several times. She was still young, and after a few visits, she had already taken a liking to Li Qi and was particularly satisfied with this marriage.
But Lu Yunqing showed up halfway...
She was always somewhat unwilling.
"Yun Qing is pregnant now, so Fourth Sister shouldn't make a big deal out of it, or else she'll be known as jealous. Anyway, she's pregnant with the Li family's child, and Fourth Sister is General Xuan De's legal wife, so she should be the one raising his children. As for Yun Qing..." Su He smiled with her hands covering her mouth, her eyes slightly shining, "Even if she enters the mansion as a concubine, isn't Fourth Sister the one who has the final say in the mansion?"
Who dares to say that Li Qi will love Lu Yunqing all his life?
After some time, when the relationship faded, Zhao Liuyun had the support of her family as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, so dealing with Lu Yunqing was just a matter of a flick of his finger.
It's not a bad idea to settle the score later.
"When fourth sister is free, you can personally send an imperial physician to check Yunqing's pulse. We can't be careless with the child of the Li family." After Su He finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. The slightly bitter taste of the tea slowly lingered between his lips.
After leaving the Zhao Mansion, Su He felt that Zhao Wanrong seemed to have something to say and was staring at her secretly.
As they were going their separate ways, she called Su He and said hesitantly, "Ah He, I always feel that you... have changed a little."
The words that he said in front of his fourth sister would never have been said by the old Su He.
Zhao Wanrong noticed that Su He had undergone subtle changes since their divorce.
"If I really change, will my sister-in-law still not love me?"
"how come?"
Su He smiled gently: "That's it. In the three years since I married Lu Yanxiu, I suddenly understood a lot of things. Sister-in-law just thinks I'm still a child who has grown up a little."
Zhao Wanrong saw that she was still as beautiful when she smiled as before, and she sincerely felt that she was still a child.
Yes, so what if she grows up a little?
·
The news of Lu Yunqing's pregnancy made Liu embarrassed, and Lu Yanxiu also felt humiliated, so he banned her from traveling and forbade her to meet Li Qi again.
Su He also sent someone to inquire and found out that Lu Yanxiu might be getting promoted.
She knew it was Lu Zhili's idea.
Win over officials and gain people's hearts.
It seems that the three siblings of the Lu family each have their own plans.
Su He sent someone to pick up Lu Yunqing from the back door of the Lu Mansion.
The two met at a nearby restaurant.
"Sister-in-law, is there any news from the Li family now?" Lu Yunqing seemed very anxious.
She has now lost contact with Li Qi and has no idea what they are thinking.
Fortunately, Su He smiled comfortingly: "Sister Zhao Si has agreed to let you enter the Li Mansion."
"Thank you, sister-in-law!"
Lu Yunqing's face lit up with joy, but then she felt that there was nothing to be happy about. She was pregnant with Li's child, and even Chen had to be polite to her now. What if it was a legitimate son?
Su He smiled gently, hiding the disgust in her eyes, and said, "When Madam Zhang passed away, you were the ones she was most worried about. Now I am able to see you marry a good man with my own eyes, which is really a happy thing. I just don't know how your second brother is doing in the Imperial College? Has he made any progress in his studies? I really hope he can pass the imperial examination next year."
Lu Yunqing listened carefully, showing rare patience.
"If sister-in-law wants to see second brother, I will pass the message."
Lu Yunqing agreed with a smile. It was not a big deal to just talk, and it wouldn't take much time or energy.
But in his heart, he secretly despised Su He for being so silly. Why mention her after his mother had passed away?
What's the point of missing her? Fortunately, she was not alive as a burden, otherwise Lu Yunqing would not be able to hold her head up in front of outsiders.
