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

Pei Xia couldn't help but complain: "What bad luck!"

Upon seeing Lu Yanxiu, Liu Qiuqiu trotted over to him with a smile, not caring whether the baby in her belly was shaking. She glanced at the safe distance between Su He and Lu Yanxiu, and took his arm with satisfaction: "My grandmother asked me to follow you to supervise you and make sure you don't say the wrong thing in the Princess's Mansion. Also..."

Liu Qiuqiu lowered her head to look at her belly, and Lu Yanxiu immediately understood.

When her great-uncle Lu Zhiping was stabbed to death by bandits, Princess Zhaoyang, as Lu Yanxiu's great-aunt, always blamed the first wife, that is, Lu Yanxiu's grandparents.

After leaving the Lu Mansion, Zhaoyang returned to the Princess's Mansion to raise her son alone. Later, when she heard that her nephew-grandson Lu Yanxiu had been married for many years but had no children, she cursed them behind their backs, saying that they deserved it!

As to why he deserved the punishment, no one knows yet.

Old Madam Lu specially sent Liu Qiuqiu to accompany her just to show off.

If possible, she would also like to ask Yier and Jiaoer to go and show off together!

"Grandma is so confused! There are so many guests today, so she asked you to come..."

Isn't this nonsense!

Lu Yanxiu held back the second half of the sentence. After all, it was not Liu Qiuqiu's fault.

But Princess Zhaoyang only invited him and Su He to the banquet. After all, she still had a rift with the Lu family. If she knew at the banquet that Liu Qiuqiu was not legitimate... she would really be unhappy.

"Husband, do you still want to go in?" Su He asked.

Her bright eyes didn't even glance at Liu Qiuqiu, with her red lips, white teeth, rosy cheeks, graceful figure, and slender waist, she didn't look like a married woman at all.

When Liu Qiuqiu saw how beautiful Su He was, she was even more afraid that she had won Lu Yanxiu's heart, so she held his arm a little tighter.

Lu Yanxiu couldn't refuse Liu Qiuqiu, nor could he ask her to go back alone. After thinking it over, he had no choice but to let her follow him into the mansion.

A white Arabian horse was reined in front of the mansion gate.

Lu Huaihe, wearing a black suit, mounted his horse.

His eyes fell on the few people who had just entered the mansion. He handed the long whip in his hand to the guard at the gate and asked, "Who just entered?"

"Sir, they are from the Lu Mansion."

There are not many people with the surname Lu in Beijing, and that family is the only one serving as officials in the current dynasty.

Lu Huaihe understood and didn't ask any more questions and went into the mansion.

Along the way, Liu Qiuqiu tried every means to stand between Lu Yanxiu and Su He in order to prevent them from coming into contact. She often stroked her bulging belly, which attracted many people's attention.

Everyone in the capital knows that the eldest princess doesn't get along with the people in the Lu Mansion. I don't know what kind of wedding event she is holding this time, but she actually invited them?

But who is the pregnant woman next to Lu Yanxiu?

Su He felt that it was unlucky to travel with the two of them, but there were many people in the Princess's Mansion and she didn't want to attract gossip, so she had to walk slowly.

Finally they arrived at Minghua Pool where the banquet was being held. After being led in by a special person, Su He looked around carefully.

There are two symmetrical peony pavilions by the pond, surrounded by peony, magnolia and crabapple bushes, with pleasant fragrance. Opposite the pond is a wide and tall viewing tower, magnificent and noble.

As there were limited seats for the banquet, the Lu family prepared two seats. Liu Qiuqiu took one as soon as she arrived. Seeing this, Lu Yanxiu made an excuse to go out for a walk and wanted to make room for Su He.

It was not because he still had feelings for Su He, but because the Lu family had to save face. If everyone knew that the concubine sat down first while the wife stood, the rich daughters and ladies present would poke him in the back.

Su He was disdainful of sitting at the same table with Liu Qiuqiu, so she asked Pei Xia to ask the supervisor, who found out that some snacks were prepared at the end of the banquet. So she took Pei Xia with her without notifying Lu Yanxiu.

Liu Qiuqiu was enjoying the cakes and tea at the banquet with a leisurely look on her face. She couldn't help but sigh at how noble the Princess's Mansion was. Even the cakes were in the shape of plum blossoms, with even the stamens modeled after them.

After Lu Yanxiu came back from wandering around, he found that Su He was gone. He asked Liu Qiuqiu, "Where is Su He?"

"I guess she was a little angry because she saw me sitting in her seat and didn't want to sit at the same table with me. But my husband, you know I'm pregnant and can't stand for a long time..." Liu Qiuqiu looked like she was about to cry, as if Su He had vented his anger in front of her.

Lu Yanxiu couldn't help but frown and said, "You are the most important thing, don't worry about her! If she does anything that damages the Lu family, I will immediately send a divorce letter to the Su family!"

Liu Qiuqiu snuggled in his arms, winked at the servant serving beside her, and her smile deepened as she looked at the distinguished guests in the garden.

Su He brought Pei Xia to the banquet. There were very few people here and it seemed a bit deserted.

Pei Xia was somewhat dissatisfied: "Miss, you are the legal wife of the Lu family. Why should you give up your position to Liu Qiuqiu? If it were me, I should publicize her immoral deeds to redress your grievances!"

Su He shook his head and said, "Her personality is hard to guess. I can't guard against it."

In her previous life, Su He sat at the same table with Liu Qiuqiu, which attracted a lot of ridicule from the noble ladies. However, she really regarded Liu Qiuqiu as her sister at that time and did not think it was a big deal.

But Liu Qiuqiu ordered someone to put drugs in her tea.

As soon as the banquet began, Su He's body began to feel strange. Fearing that she might do something out of the ordinary, she hurried to leave the table, but was unexpectedly pulled into a side room by a man dressed as a servant.

Fortunately, someone rescued him and avoided a disaster.

Su He didn't want to recall the dirty past, so he looked at Pei Xia and warned her, "You must watch my surroundings carefully. Don't eat the tea and cakes once they are out of your sight."

"I just feel sorry for the young lady. I have worked hard for others for many years, but in the end, I only get a divorce..."

"Pei Xia!"

"I have overstepped my bounds."

Pei Xia just couldn't stand Liu Qiuqiu stepping on the young lady's head and acting wildly. When he heard Su He's scolding, he also knew that this place was secluded and he was afraid that someone was hiding there and heard the joke, so he obediently shut his mouth.

Among the swaying shadows of the trees, there really was a human figure swaying.

Lu Huaihe stayed here for a moment. After hearing Pei Xia's casual complaint, his eyelashes drooped and his expression was filled with emotion for a moment.

The banquet began.

The music sounds slow and clear, flowing gently like a stream, which complements the precious architectural furnishings in the mansion.

Zhaoyang hosted a banquet for relatives and friends only because she had adopted a daughter and needed to announce her identity in public.

The adopted daughter was only fifteen years old, and had grown into a beautiful and graceful young lady.

When Zhaoyang was traveling in the south, he saw his adopted daughter's parents being beaten to death by thugs and almost being caught and sold to a brothel. Zhaoyang felt sorry for her and brought her back to the capital.

After bringing her back to the Princess's Mansion, she named her adopted daughter Xianyin and asked the Emperor for an imperial decree to confer the title of Princess on her, thus making her a noble lady.

Su He was sitting far away and did not see the real appearance of the adopted daughter. But she had experienced two lives and knew that she was not a real orphan. She had made a thorough plan before approaching the princess.

As to why this is done, we have to ask the current emperor.

"The princess is kind and righteous, and she is kind and benevolent. She will surely be blessed by God!"

Seeing that Princess Xianyin's identity had been announced, Lu Yanxiu still hadn't seen Su He, and he felt a little anxious.
