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

That day in the Golden Sparrow Tower, Su He's words gave him some inexplicable hope.

If Su Ronghai really values ​​him and is willing to recommend him after he resigns, that's not a bad idea!

However, the current situation is tense, and the dispute between the Crown Prince and the Second Prince is raging. Lu Zhili estimates that he will not be able to wait for Su Ronghai to retire and return home, so he still has to act according to the plan.

Coming out of Weirui Pavilion, Lu Zhili called out to Lu Yanxiu.

"Brother, can you help me with something?"

Lu Yanxiu frowned: "What's the matter?"

"Design the Su family to help me get to the top."

·

"Miss, Lu Yanxiu wants to see you."

Su He was sitting at her desk copying calligraphy. When she heard the news brought by Pei Xia, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She and Lu Yanxiu haven't seen each other for a long time, so why would he come to her for no reason?

Su He casually placed the brush on the table and loosened his rolled-up sleeves before letting him in.

When I saw him again, everything was the same as before, except that there had been severe floods recently and the refugees were homeless. The court had used most of the money for relief, leaving Lu Yanxiu without any source of income and living a very tight life.

Lu Yanxiu was wearing a green gown, which looked a little thin in the chilly late autumn. The dark circles under his eyes showed that he had not had enough rest recently.

"Mr. Lu, what can I do for you?" Su He smiled and stared at him motionlessly.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing?"

When Lu Yanxiu entered Su's residence, he was slightly shocked by the magnificent furnishings in the courtyard.

This house is located in the most expensive street in Beijing. Neighbors are either merchants or powerful officials. Su He will naturally have no worries about money as he can settle down here.

When Lu Yanxiu thought of the Lu Mansion, he couldn't help but look a little envious.

He remembered that when he was at home, as long as Su He was there, no matters big or small would ever bother him.

Now the relationship between the grandmother and Qiuqiu in the mansion is antagonistic, and they quarrel from time to time. Lu Yanxiu is caught in the middle and cannot openly help either side.

Su He couldn't help but sneer at the awkward greetings: "We've been married for three years, I know your character and thoughts, just say whatever you want to say, there's no need to beat around the bush in front of me."

No one comes to the temple for no reason. With Lu Zhili behind them giving advice, who doesn't know that these two brothers have bad intentions?

Lu Yanxiu hurriedly explained: "I really haven't seen you for a long time, I want to see how you are doing."

"Now that you've seen it, why don't you just leave here, Master Lu?"

Lu Yanxiu struggled: "I... Although you and I have parted ways, we have been married for three years. Can't we even say a word to each other?"

Su He replied: "You've been talking to me about marriage for three years?"

She laughed mockingly.

"When you and Liu Qiuqiu were in love in the other courtyard, did you ever think that you were married to me? When you hugged Lu Yi and Lu Jiao, did you ever think that I was your wife?"

Lu Yanxiu felt a little ashamed by what she said, and quickly said, "That's all in the past, why are you still talking about it?"

He still looked indifferent and nonchalant.

Su He's heart turned cold, and his face darkened: "Since you are an old friend, why are you still getting in my way? Pei Xia, get him out!"

Pei Xia didn't respond well either, pointing coldly at the door: "Master Lu, this way please."

Lu Yanxiu didn't expect that a few words would anger her. Thinking back carefully, he didn't say anything wrong. He really didn't understand why Su He was so angry.

"Su He, you don't have to be so angry with me. Feelings can't be forced. You and me... I can only say that our fate has ended." Lu Yanxiu stepped out of the threshold and continued chattering. There was a hint of arrogance in his words. He tried his best to believe that Su He's bad temper was all because she divorced him.

Yes, Su He has endless gold, silver and jewelry to enjoy, but she is alone now, and the huge house is so deserted. What's the point?

Lu Yanxiu paused and said, "Su He, you are just a woman, guarding such a big house will inevitably arouse jealousy, why don't you come back to the Lu Mansion with me?"

Su He only felt a rumbling sound on his forehead, with disbelief in his eyes. He picked up the ink tray beside him and threw it at him.

The dark ink splashed all over Lu Yanxiu, with a little bit on his face.

"what are you doing?"

He still had to go back to the Lu Mansion! Wouldn't he be laughed at on the road with this dirty ink on his body?

Lu Yanxiu turned around, his eyes faintly showing anger, and his fist holding the corner of his clothes clenched slightly. When he was about to step forward to argue, Lu Huaihe's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Yan Xiu, why are you here?"

He had just returned from the Dali Temple and was still wearing his official uniform. The casual address made Lu Yanxiu feel somewhat close to him, and the hostility he had felt after being splashed with black ink disappeared without a trace in an instant.

Pei Xia glanced at him and said in a high voice: "Master Lu might be here to take advantage of you."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Yanxiu scolded in a low voice.

Looking at Su He again, she seemed to acquiesce to Pei Xia's action, neither stopping nor scolding him. Lu Yanxiu couldn't help but feel lucky that he had separated from this jealous woman. Otherwise, if the maid was like this, who knew what kind of character her master would have?

When Lu Huaihe entered the room and saw Su He with a cold face and no words, he knew that the two had an argument. He sat down calmly, and Pei Xia immediately offered him a cup of hot tea. After gulping it down, he slowly said, "Ah He is the most gentle, why did you provoke her so furious?"

Lu Yanxiu thought he had heard it wrong.

docile?

Su He was indeed docile before Qiqi came into the mansion, but look at what she is like now?

She was so decisive and straightforward when splashing ink, how could an ordinary woman be so rude?

Lu Yanxiu immediately retorted: "Uncle, she is not a gentle person. Look at what I'm like now. I don't know how I'm going to go out and meet people later."

Lu Huaihe glanced at her calmly and replied in a gentle voice: "If she had a worse temper, she should have followed Gu Shiniang's example and cut off your concubine Liu's hair with scissors when she entered the mansion, and then paraded her through the streets as a warning to the public."

Su He raised his eyelashes, and his angry heart calmed down a little.

A few years ago, there was a very famous person named Gu Shiniang in Beijing.

I heard that her husband had a mistress outside, who was spoiled and even wanted to drive Gu Shiniang away so that she could enjoy the family fortune alone.

This caused Gu Shiniang to cut off her hair, which she was so proud of, with scissors, and then stripped her clothes and paraded her through the streets to be shown to the public.

Lu Yanxiu didn't expect that he would actually speak up for Su He.

Seeing him behave so freely in Su He's room and Pei Xia treating him with great respect, she couldn't help but wonder about their relationship.

"Uncle, you and Su He?" Lu Yanxiu asked tentatively. He glanced at Su He and saw that his face looked normal, nothing unusual.

But if there was no difference, why would a man and a woman stay together? Why were they so natural?

Could it be that... after Su He's divorce, she had the idea of ​​humiliating herself and wanted to get revenge on the Lu family by getting close to her uncle?
