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

Su He paled slightly, lowered his head and dared not move.

It was a feeling of having one's poor calculations seen through.

Yes, she knew that Baili Feng and Lu Zhili had connections, so she specifically asked the prison guards to pay more attention to the people who visited them, just to leave witnesses.

Although Baili Feng is a prince, he has no real power and no party members. The Dali Temple is under the jurisdiction of the emperor. Even if the jailers come out to testify in court, they will not be afraid of Baili Feng.

But since this concerns the royal family's reputation, how could he show up so easily?

Su He was certain that the case would not be investigated further. Even if she had framed Lu Zhili, with Baili Feng's involvement, the case would never be solved!

But Baili Jun was not so stupid that he couldn't see it. He was already secretly warning Lu Huaihe.

After everyone left, Su Ronghai helped Su He up, dusted off his body, and seeing Lu Huaihe was still in the hall, he nodded slightly and was about to take Su He away.

Suddenly, he said in a deep voice: "Su He stays."

Su Ronghai didn't know what was going on. He looked at his daughter and then at Lu Huaihe. Comforted by Su He's eyes, he left the government office.

All the subordinates in the hall retreated, except for two people.

Su He twisted the corner of her clothes with her fingers, her legs and feet were numb from standing, but he still didn't say a word.

There was a breeze blowing through the hall, lifting the hem of her skirt slightly. Su He exhaled silently, and then she heard a clear voice coming from above her head.

"Do you have any grudge against Lu Zhili?"

Lu Huaihe stared at her quietly, his black pupils reflecting her delicate figure, as if he could see through her.

Su He replied softly: "Not only him, but many others."

The entire Lu family and Liu Qiuqiu all had grudges against her, but the grudges involved a space too long ago, taking her through her past and present lives.

If Baili Feng really wanted to persecute the Su family in order to seize the throne, she would have one more enemy.

There were the sounds of footsteps beside him. Lu Huaihe came up to him in two steps, his eyes fell on the scar on Su He's right hand, and he lowered his eyes and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It hurts a little."

If the answer was that it didn't hurt, Lu Huaihe really wouldn't believe it. He didn't expect her to be so honest.

"Lu Zhili's case will not be tried any further."

As he spoke, he observed Su He's expression and saw that there was nothing unusual on her face, as if she had guessed the result.

The examination was supervised by Crown Prince Baili Jun, but the cheating case was rumored to involve Baili Feng. No matter how big or small the matter was, it would be brought to the attention of the imperial power.

It is better to avoid things before they happen.

Su He was very clear about this. Thinking of Lu Zhili's defense and questioning in court, she felt a little relieved and asked immediately, "What is the greatest punishment he can receive?"

"Cheating and slandering an official appointed by the imperial court will result in 100 strokes of the cane and permanent disqualification from the examination."

Su He nodded. She was not very satisfied with this general result, but it was already the maximum punishment that Lu Zhili could receive.

That’s good. With the qualification for the exam cancelled, there will be no more rising talents in the Lu family, and their future will be ruined.

And Lu Yanxiu had no ability to save them, and he was probably still worrying about his livelihood.

Su He said goodbye to Lu Huaihe, and after coming out of the Dali Temple, Qingyun followed them on horseback.

The carriage was running very smoothly. Pei Xia stuck his head out and glanced back. Qingyun was really following behind obediently, looking around as if he was on guard against something.

"Miss, what is he following us for?"

Su He's eyes flickered: "I guess it's to protect us."

Baili Feng might not be unaware that Lu Zhili was framed by her, so it would be much easier to deal with her.

Pei Xia didn't understand the deep meaning of this, he just looked at Qingyun and silently praised: "Lord Lu is really thoughtful!"

Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of Su's house.

Pei Xia lifted the curtain and helped Su He get out of the car, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, a cold arrow shot into the car and pierced the inner wall!

Qingyun caught a glimpse of the assassin in a nearby restaurant, and quickly dismounted to track him, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find anyone.

"I deliberately didn't stab anyone. It should be a warning."

Su He stared at the cold arrow and felt a chill down his spine.

The person behind the assassin must be Baili Feng. Who would have thought that he would disregard his own identity and dare to disregard the law under the feet of the emperor?

Qingyun took away the arrow and put it away. He watched Su He and Pei Xia enter the house with his own eyes before leaving with peace of mind.

In the court of Dali Temple, Lu Huaihe looked at the cold arrow in his hand with a gloomy expression.

At this time, there were wails of resentment in the Lu Mansion.

Liu sat in the hall with her eyes red and swollen from crying. Lu Yanxiu served her by her side, fearing that she might have an accident and add another sad thing to the mansion.

"Yan Xiu, my good grandson! Go to the prison and bring Zhili back immediately! That's one hundred strokes of the cane, one hundred strokes of the cane! I wonder if his body can bear it?"

Lu Yanxiu hurriedly said, "Don't be sad, grandma. I have already sent someone to pick them up. They should be on their way now."

After being lashed with the cane 100 times, Lu Zhili could no longer take exams. This was a nightmare for him who dreamed of becoming an official.

Liu placed all her hopes on Lu Zhili. When she thought about the possibility that the Lu family would not be able to make a comeback in the future, she became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan!

"Madam, something has been delivered from the Princess's Mansion!" Butler Zhu came to report.

The heartbroken Liu forced herself to think, thinking that the Lu family was in trouble at this time, and the eldest princess actually sent someone to deliver things over?

Could it be that she was willing to let bygones be bygones and make friends with the Lu family?

"Please invite the person in quickly!"

Liu concealed the sad and tired look on her face, straightened her body, and deliberately put on the attitude of the mistress of the house.

The person who came to the Lu Mansion to deliver something at the request of the princess was just an ordinary maid, and a stranger at that.

Liu saw that she was holding a jade plate in her hand. The object on it was covered by a piece of cloth. From a distance, it looked like a priceless treasure.

"I am here to deliver the treasure at the order of the Princess. I hope the old lady will accept it."

After the maid bowed, she personally handed the jade plate to Liu. After she took it, she felt that it was heavy in her hand. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she couldn't help but imagine. Zhaoyang was always generous, could it be something priceless?

"Quick, open it and let me take a look!"

Lu Yanxiu took a step forward and carefully lifted the cloth, only to find that what appeared was a fat white radish?

Liu was stunned and stared at the white radish in the jade plate for a long time before she came to her senses.

Isn’t it a priceless treasure?

Just a white radish worth a few cents?

Lu Yanxiu also felt like he was slapped in the face, but he had no place to vent!

The maid glanced at their ashen faces and said immediately, "The eldest princess said that Second Young Master Lu's matter might make you angry and worried that you might hurt yourself. White radish is also called ginseng in the soil. Although it is a little common, it is very nourishing. This is the eldest princess's intention. Will you dislike it?"

Liu forced a sneer at the corner of her mouth, her gloomy eyes fell on the maid's face, and she gritted her teeth and replied: "How can I not like the things given by the princess?"
