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

If this is true, he would have to add an unethical charge to the crime of jealousy!

No one else had any way of knowing what Lu Yanxiu was thinking, but Su He guessed a little from the contemptuous look he gave her.

It's not uncommon for dirty people to have dirty thoughts.

Lu Huaihe leaned back in his chair, his eyes fell on Su He, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled faintly: "I want to find an aunt for you."

"Aunt?" Lu Yanxiu was delighted. Everyone in the capital knew that his uncle had never had any relatives by marriage. Others had introduced many people to him, but none of them ended up together. Today, he asked to get married himself. It seemed that the woman was really an exception.

"Which lady does my uncle want to marry?"

"Su family."

Lu Yanxiu knew that the Su family had two young ladies waiting to get married, namely Su Yun and Su Lian. They were both good-looking, but their backgrounds were not good. They were the daughters of Su Ronghai's aunt.

He felt it was inappropriate: "Su Yun and Su Lian are both concubines' daughters. If my uncle really wants to marry them, he should think about it calmly... The eldest princess will not allow a concubine's daughter to be her daughter-in-law!"

Lu Huaihe suddenly smiled: "You have thought it through very carefully."

"Of course. As the elder of the Lu family, you must be careful in choosing the aunt." Su Ronghai's two daughters are still young. If he really asks Lu Yanxiu to call her aunt, how can he say it?

"You're right. We have to be careful in choosing the right person." Lu Huaihe kept looking at Su He, his eyes as bright as stars.

Lu Yanxiu suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

After coming out of Su's house, he secretly asked the servant at the door and learned that Su He had been very close to Lu Huaihe recently, which made him more certain of his guess.

He said he wanted to get married, maybe...

In Weirui Pavilion, Liu had just woken up from a nap.

She had just had her birthday and for some reason she caught a cold. It wasn't even extremely cold yet, but her old bones couldn't take it anymore.

Hearing that Lu Yanxiu insisted on seeing him, he had to stand up again.

"You mean Lu Huaihe is going to get married? And it could be Su He?" Liu narrowed her eyes and thought, feeling like she had heard a joke. "There are so many young and beautiful women in the capital, why would Lu Huaihe choose a divorced woman? Yan Xiu, did you hear it wrong?"

"Even the servants at the Su residence said that the two of them were very close. Even if there was no possibility of marriage, their relationship was definitely not ordinary."

Isn’t the fact that Lu Huaihe can come and go freely in Su’s house proof?

But Lu Yanxiu didn’t understand why it was Su He?

"Lu Huaihe has high standards and will never be with Su He. Besides, there is the eldest princess. Can she allow Lu Huaihe to have no descendants?"

After hearing what Liu said, Lu Yanxiu felt relieved.

She was right. Su He hadn't been able to give birth to a child for three years. Could the princess still allow Lu Huaihe to be childless?

"How many months has Qiuqiu been pregnant?" Liu suddenly asked.

Lu Yanxiu replied: "After the New Year, it will be time to give birth."

Liu nodded, "Let her take good care of herself."

"My grandson knows."

This year's cold winter came earlier, and it started snowing before the end of the year.

Su He sat by the stove and brewed tea. Her delicate fingers touched the warm teacup and she moved closer to the table. Lu Huaihe, wearing a fox fur cloak and reading a book, took the tea and savored it carefully.

"The exam is coming soon." She said softly.

"When the Spring Examination is approaching every year, the capital is filled with students. Some of them are wealthy and will order the most expensive dishes in the Golden Sparrow Tower to cheer for the exam. Others are short of money and will sit in the liquor shop at the end of Cuiliu Lane for an entire afternoon, silently counting the hours until the exam arrives."

When Lu Huaihe looked up and saw the falling snow, he seemed to have some feelings.

Su He stared at the frozen lake in a daze, and suddenly asked: "Will my father still be the chief examiner this year?"

"There are two examiners, one is your father, and the other is the current Crown Prince."

The chief examiner in all the years was Su Ronghai, which gave Lu Zhili the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Su He was waiting for the next exam, and she couldn't wait to know what Lu Zhili would do.

Lu Huaihe observed her expression and asked casually, "Are you worried about something?"

"I didn't." She denied it, pinching the teacup between her white fingers and lowering her head slightly.

Lu Huaihe chuckled. He interrogated so many prisoners every day, so how could he not see Su He's thoughts?

She always paid attention to the Lu Mansion intentionally or unintentionally, and was particularly concerned about the actions of the Lu brothers. Lu Huaihe would not believe that she did not have any thoughts on this.

"Lu Zhili is also on the list for this exam. He is knowledgeable and talented, and is a leader in the Imperial College. I believe he will get a top three score."

In the Imperial College, Lu Zhili had an ordinary family background, but he was able to carve out a path for himself with his knowledge, and was considered a talented person.

Su He smiled distantly: "Things are not set in stone yet, who can tell for sure?"

Because Lu Zhili was about to take part in the spring imperial examination, and Liu was a devout Buddhist, everyone in the mansion was extremely cautious and not allowed to say any unlucky words.

On the day of packing his bags to enter the examination room, Lu Yanxiu stopped Lu Zhili, his eyes fell on the purse with familiar stitches, and after a few seconds hesitating, he asked, "Are you going to bring this into the examination room?"

Lu Zhili opened his purse and took out the fortune slip from it and handed it to him, his eyes deep: "Brother, don't worry that Su He will plot against me. I checked it and there is nothing else in it except the fortune slip."

"It's better to take it off. Su He is a thoughtful person, so it's always better to be more careful." Lu Yanxiu thought of the eyes that Su He stared at him, and always felt that there was an inexplicable hatred in them.

Although Lu Zhili has his own plan, there are so many examiners watching in the examination room, and the prince is also in charge, so it is better not to cause any more trouble.

Lu Zhili was silent for a few seconds and then said hello.

When getting on the carriage and about to leave, Liu hobbled out of the house and asked Mrs. Yang to give Lu Zhili a set of clean clothes to take with her.

"I have been away from home for nine days. The wind and dew are heavy at night. Remember to put on more clothes."

Lu Zhili listened to Liu's instructions and nodded, accepting the clothes expressionlessly. He usually stayed in the Imperial College, and leaving home was a common thing. At this moment, he looked at Liu with great reluctance and had no emotion.

When Lu Zhili touched the fabric of the clothes, he felt it was delicate and comfortable, unlike the things in his house, so he couldn't help but stroke it a few more times.

"Grandma, my grandson is leaving first."

"go Go!"

Liu watched the carriage disappear reluctantly, tears welling up in her eyes. She clasped her hands together and prayed to the heavens, "God bless me, God bless me! May Zhili win the top spot in one fell swoop, may the Lu family avenge their previous shame, and may the emperor employ my grandson!"

The Imperial Examination Hall in the capital.

The students had already checked their identities and entered the inner hall. Lu Zhili was pulled by several classmates and walked at the back. Upon seeing him, one of them, Xu Lin, deliberately mocked him: "I thought I wouldn't see you in the examination hall? You're here too? Why didn't the Second Prince reserve a place for you?"
