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

Su He raised a mocking arc at the corner of his lips, and continued calmly: "If you lie to me, you, and all the descendants of the Lu family, will not have official luck and will not be able to enter the court. All your bright futures and long journeys will vanish into thin air!"

Lu Zhili's expression suddenly changed, and his whole face was gloomy.

There was a lot of explanation stuck in my throat and I couldn't get it out.

Through the shackled prison door, Su He looked down at him with a look full of provocation and mockery.

"You will never succeed."

Lu Zhili clenched his fists. His brother and grandmother would definitely find a way to help him. Even if they were unable to help due to their limited abilities, the Second Prince would never stand by and watch him die!

The incident at the Zhaixing Restaurant was such a big deal, but didn't they just find a scapegoat? Since Baili Feng wanted to use him as a counselor, he would definitely solve everything!

And what can Su He, a little woman living in seclusion, be capable of?

Su He still smiled lightly, his eyebrows turned, and his tone was light: "What you said doesn't count."

After a while, the cell returned to its usual silence.

After Su He left, Lu Zhili sat down against the cell door, his eyes somewhat absent-minded. How could he not know that Su He was so hostile to him?

Was it because he had used too much of her dowry to build relationships over the years? Or was it because she had discovered that he was the nominal owner of the Zhaixing Restaurant?

Only Baili Feng and his brother Lu Yanxiu knew that Lu Zhili wanted to overthrow Su Ronghai. Where did Su He get the information?

Could it be... that my brother told me?

Although he and Su He have divorced, who can guarantee that their old feelings won't rekindle and they won't say the wrong thing?

Lu Zhili's mind was in a mess. What worried him most was that he didn't know when the prince would interrogate him. How could Baili Feng save him?

The prison was damp and full of mosquitoes, and as a scholar he simply couldn't stay there.

Suddenly, a hand appeared from behind and patted him gently on the shoulder.

Lu Zhili's heart skipped a beat. He turned around and met a pair of gloomy and deep eyes.

After coming out of the Dali Temple, Su He got on the carriage back to the house. As soon as he stepped on the carriage, he heard a voice behind him calling, "Su He!"

Pei Xia looked in the direction of the voice and it turned out to be Qi Sheng?

He waved his hand, ran briskly to the carriage, rubbed his hands nervously and greeted.

"I happened to see you go in when I passed by the Dali Temple, and I waited for a long time before I saw you come out. I heard that Brother Lu was imprisoned. You were his sister-in-law, so it's only right for you to come and visit him."

Su He stared at him and asked, "Young Master Qi, is there anything wrong?"

"No, no! Are you going back? I am going back too, and we can go the same way!" Qi Sheng said as he got into his carriage, wanting to go the same way with Su He.

Pei Xia hurriedly said, "Master Qi, how can we do this? You and my young lady are on different paths, so forget it."

When they reached the fork in the road not far away, they were about to go their separate ways. How could they be on the same road? If someone saw them, they would make a big fuss.

Pei Xia understood Qi Sheng's thoughts.

She thought for a moment, glanced at the Dali Temple and continued, "In addition to visiting the Second Young Master Lu, my lady also made a special trip to visit Master Lu Huaihe!"

When Lu Huaihe's name was mentioned, Qi Sheng was always a little afraid, and his expression was not as cheerful as before, "Why do you want to see him?"

Pei Xia deliberately couldn't help laughing, and said to him intentionally: "Lord Lu is particularly fond of my young lady. Now that I'm here today, I naturally have to meet Lord Lu."

Lu Huaihe?

Qi Sheng didn't fail to understand, but he was very curious. Would Lu Huaihe favor Su He more?

He didn't believe it.

"Pei Xia, don't say these things to evade me. Lord Lu is busy with official duties and has no intersection with Su He. How could he favor her?"

"Forgive me for being frank, but there are many things that Young Master Qi doesn't know."

"Pei Xia, go back to the house!"

Su He's voice came from inside, and Qi Sheng immediately leaned over the window to explain: "Su He, I don't look down on you, but Lord Lu has nothing to do with you. I will never associate him with you. You know I always speak my mind and have no ill intentions..."

"Young Master Qi!"

Su He lifted the curtain and looked at him with a faint smile, but there was an undisguised flash of alienation in her eyes.

"It's getting late. If you have time, go back home and spend more time with Madam Duan. That will also help Madam Duan feel at ease."

"I... I don't want to go back." He just wanted to talk to Su He, but he never had the chance. In fact, Qi Sheng had a family, and Su He would have better choices. The two would never have another chance in the future.

"If you don't want to go back, I'll send someone to take you back."

Lu Huaihe's voice came closer from far away. He had been working on official business all night without rest, and his eyes were a little red. He walked slowly to the front of the carriage, stood face to face with Qi Sheng, and asked loudly: "Have you been free again recently?"

"I have finished my homework yesterday. I only came out today with my mother's permission." Qi Sheng could not make trouble in front of Lu Huaihe. After all, he had been under his control since he was a child, and he already had a kind of fear in his heart.

Madam Duan knew Princess Zhaoyang and they had a good relationship. Qi Sheng was weak and sickly since birth, so she listened to the fortune teller and sent him to the Princess's Mansion to be raised. Because he was still young, he was always disciplined by Lu Huaihe.

"Go back home."

"Master Lu, I..."

"If you don't like Qingyun's escort, I can take you back myself." Lu Huaihe looked at him quietly. He had nothing to do today, so he had some free time.

"No, no!" Qi Sheng didn't want Lu Huaihe to appear in the Qi Mansion, otherwise Madam Duan would cause trouble again. He looked into the carriage reluctantly, and under Lu Huaihe's gaze, he turned around and left silently.

As soon as he left, Su He lifted the curtain and her clever eyes fell on Lu Huaihe. She saw a few spots of blood and a tired look on him, so she asked, "Your Excellency, have you been so busy with official business that you didn't sleep all night?"

"It's out of the way."

Su He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you going to try Lu Zhili's case?"

"I will preside over the trial, and Lord Su and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be the observers."

Su He understood, withdrew her hand and lowered the curtain.

Although she acted calm and composed in front of Lu Zhili, she was afraid that the person in charge of the case would unravel the case and find out that it was her who did it.

However, as long as Lu Yunqing doesn't give in...

Lu Mansion, Weirui Pavilion.

Lu Yanxiu used the method suggested by Liu to bring Lu Yunqing back. He even made up a story about a murder, so even if Chen hated Lu Yunqing, she couldn't refuse.

Lu Yunqing is already two months pregnant, but her belly is not yet visible.

When she was at Qingxinju, she heard several maids mention that her second brother had been arrested.

But how could someone as smart and talented as him cheat?

Liu sat up from the bed and put on an outer robe. When she saw Lu Yunqing sitting beside her with a pale face, she felt her forehead buzzing.

"You were the one who sent that set of clothes to Wei Rui Pavilion."
