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

Baili Jun also rushed over after hearing the news, and frowned when he heard Lu Zhili's address.

"Reporting to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Lord Su, I found this on the clothes of this examinee!"

The cheating clothes were presented to Baili Jun and Su Ronghai.

Lu Zhili's eyes went dark, and his body swayed, almost unsteady. He hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, I was framed, and these are not my clothes! Please be careful!"

"It's not yours? And you're wearing it? Did you steal it?" An official at the side asked, looking him over with a scrutinizing gaze, and he knew a little about Lu Zhili's background. It was said that he had a good education in the Imperial College, and even the Imperial Tutor had praised his talent.

Most importantly, there were rumors that he was related to the second prince. The officer glanced at Baili Jun and did not dare to act rashly before he spoke.

Su Ronghai, who was standing next to him, only took a glance and recognized that it was Su He's needlework. She had sewn clothes for him when he was in the Su Mansion before.

"Your Highness, these are really not my clothes!"

Baili Jun asked: "Tell me, if it's not your clothes, why are you wearing it?"

Lu Zhili's lips moved, and he immediately said, "Someone is trying to murder me on purpose! It's just that I can't explain it clearly yet. Please, Your Highness, investigate and give me justice!"

The clothes were taken out by Liu from Lu's house. No one would believe it if she said it was a setup.

If he said in public that it was Su He who framed him, not only would it fail to solve the problem, but he would also bring himself into disfavor.

What hatred or grudge could a mere woman have against me?

Baili Jun saw that he could not explain himself, so in order to seek justice, he had no choice but to lock him up and interrogate him.

"Lu Zhili is disrupting public order, take him away!"

The officers immediately stepped forward and took him away.

When several people passed by Su Ronghai, Lu Zhili suddenly raised his head and said in a cold voice, "Master Su..."

Su Ronghai trembled.

"I hope you can find out clearly."

Sweat broke out on his forehead, and he didn't dare to wipe it off. He just quickly responded, "Don't worry, I will!"

When the news reached the Lu residence, Liu was happily playing mahjong with the maids. She won this round again, and the copper coins in front of her were piled up like a mountain.

Housekeeper Zhu was waiting outside the courtyard, saying that he had something important to report. Fearing that Liu would not be able to accept it at once, he clasped his hands and thought for several times. When he heard the call from inside, he walked in hesitantly.

"Old lady..."

Liu's cloudy eyes fell on him and said with a smile: "Why are you hesitating? Just say whatever you want to say, and don't stand at the door and affect my luck."

She had good luck with cards today and didn't lose once the whole morning.

Butler Zhu paused and reported carefully, "There's news from outside that the Second Young Master...he cheated in the exam and was locked up by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

A pile of cards fell to the ground in an instant.

Liu was extremely surprised and subconsciously retorted: "Zhili's knowledge is of the highest level, even in the Imperial College he is one of the best. Is there any difficult question that he can't answer? Does he need to cheat?"

Butler Zhu couldn't explain it clearly for a while, he also heard rumors from outside. At present, the examination hall in the Imperial Academy was closed, and they had no way to find out about Lu Zhili.

"Where is Yanxiu? Where is he?" Liu lost interest in playing cards and planned to ask Lu Yanxiu to investigate the whole matter.

"The eldest young master went out early in the morning and has not returned yet."

Liu suddenly had a bad feeling in her heart, and then asked Mrs. Yang to get some silver and money to give to Butler Zhu to use to inquire about the news.

There is no way her good grandson could cheat, there must be something hidden behind this!

Butler Zhu went to the Imperial Examination Hall and took a lot of effort to find out the whole story. Fortunately, Liu gave him enough money, and after making some connections, he was able to go to the prison to see Lu Zhili.

Inside the Lu Mansion, Liu and others were anxious, and asked their maid to go out and listen to some rumors. When they learned that Lu Zhili was indeed arrested for cheating, their legs went limp and they collapsed on the chair.

"Grandma, I heard that my second brother..."

Liu Qiuqiu came to Weirui Pavilion with her pregnant belly. Before she could finish what she was saying, she knew it was true when she saw Liu's frightened look.

"There may be some hidden secret behind this matter, so don't worry, Grandma."

Although she comforted her verbally, she kept cursing in her heart that she would rather Liu get angry and die suddenly, so that she would not be bossed over her head all day long!

Liu waved her hand and asked her to sit down first. After all, she was about to give birth with such a big belly.

"Where did Yan Xiu go?"

"he……"

After Liu Qiuqiu sat down, she lowered her head and looked depressed, and did not continue to speak. Seeing this, Liu felt a little suspicious. There were such big rumors outside, but Lu Yanxiu, the head of the family, disappeared?

"Father is out seeing another woman!"

Lu Yi trotted in, his unhappy childish voice was particularly loud in the room.

Liu frowned in dissatisfaction, looked at Liu Qiuqiu sideways and asked, "Who is he going to see?"

Liu Qiuqiu hesitated for a long time before she uttered a single sentence: "Maybe...he went to see Su He?"

She saw with her own eyes that Lu Yanxiu was distracted by the purse made by Su He with a serious expression, and then he hurried out without saying a word.

Liu Qiuqiu didn't dare to think too much about it. Could it be that Su He regretted the divorce?

"Why do you want to see her?" Liu called Mrs. Yang over and ordered her, "Go and find the young master for me..."

"Grandma! My grandson is back."

Before Liu finished her instructions, Lu Yanxiu's voice came from far away and soon appeared in front of everyone.

He looked haggard and his steps were unsteady, followed by Butler Zhu who had just found out the news.

When Liu Qiuqiu saw Lu Yanxiu, regardless of her pregnant belly, she took two or three steps forward, wiped her tears and whispered, "You're finally back! There are rumors outside that my second brother was caught cheating, and my grandmother is very worried. Have you... gone to find Su He?"

Lu Yanxiu nodded in acknowledgement.

This made Liu Qiuqiu feel nervous. She was not in power in the Lu Mansion yet. If Su He regretted the divorce and wanted to reconcile with Lu Yanxiu, wouldn't she be ashamed?

"But don't worry, I'm not here to reminisce about the past."

Seeing that the delivery was imminent, Lu Yanxiu didn't want Liu Qiuqiu to get into trouble because of her wild thoughts, so he wanted to explain.

But Liu Qiuqiu did not relax because of his explanation. After all, Su He was far superior to her in background and talent, so she had a strong sense of crisis.

Liu Qiuqiu didn’t even dare to think about what her life would be like if she lost Lu Yanxiu, the tree that supported her.

Seeing that Lu Yanxiu looked upset and that Butler Zhu was hesitant to bring out the truth, Liu suddenly felt a heavy weight in her heart and asked in a trembling voice, "Has Zhili really been arrested? Are those rumors true?"

Liu Qiuqiu also became nervous and waited for Lu Yanxiu's answer.

Cheating in an exam is a serious crime. How could Lu Zhili make such a low-level mistake?
