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

Wang paused and did not continue speaking.

Su He knew what she meant. She was afraid that she would meet the wrong person again and get hurt for no reason.

"What you said... Lord Lu is clear-headed and upright. Although it is a bit abnormal for a thirty-year-old man to not have a wife, he came to propose marriage in person and brought so many valuable items. He must be sincere! Otherwise, wouldn't he just find a matchmaker to go there?"

Su Ronghai felt from the bottom of his heart that Lu Huaihe was reliable. Just by standing there, who could bully Ah He?

Moreover, he had worked with Lu Huaihe in the court, and there was nothing unclear about his character and behavior. As for why they had refused to form an in-law relationship for many years, he was also confused.

"What do you know? Ah He has already been married before. What if she meets the wrong person again? How many years of her life can she give away? How much energy can she waste?" Wang glared at Su Ronghai, then looked at Su He again and softened her voice, "If you don't want to agree, I will refuse in person. Don't worry about his identity."

A warm feeling surged through Su He's heart.

Her mother's family was a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, and their business had spread to the capital and even the imperial palace. Even if she rejected Lu Huaihe's intention in person, there was still room for negotiation.

She stroked the back of Wang's hand comfortingly and said with a smile, "Mother, I am willing."

"Are you serious?"

Wang frowned, seeing that she didn't seem to be joking.

"Are you really willing to marry Lu Huaihe?"

Su He nodded gently and smiled lightly.

Su Ronghai clapped his hands in applause, wishing he could announce it to the world right away. However, after a brief thought, he felt that being too ostentatious would not be good, nor would being too proactive be good either. He decided to wait for Lord Lu's instructions!

There was a knock on the door outside the study, and Zhao Wanrong stood outside and reported, "Father and mother, Lu Yanxiu is here."

Su He hadn't heard this name for a long time, and felt it was both familiar and strange. Wang and Su Ronghai saw that her expression was the same, so they thought they didn't care, and asked Zhao Wanrong to bring the person in.

Wang sat on the nanmu armchair, took a sip of tea, and said reluctantly: "Maybe he is here to ask for money again."

Su He frowned and smiled. Given his personality, it was possible that he would do that if he was pushed into a corner.

"Greetings to Lord Su, and to Madam Wang."

As soon as Lu Yanxiu entered the study, he greeted the two elders, but he was used to calling them father and mother, and now it was a bit awkward to change the name.

He glanced and saw Su He.

She was just wearing a light green gauze dress, and her figure was as gentle as ever, but Lu Yanxiu couldn't take his eyes away.

I vaguely remember that it wasn't long since we last met, and they had a dispute over a purse. Time flies, and half a month has passed. She is still cold and indifferent, and there is no place for him in her eyes.

"Su He, long time no see." Lu Yanxiu said softly.

Su He didn't move his eyebrows, as if he didn't hear it.

No one responded, which made the situation seem a little awkward. Su Ronghai broke the deadlock and asked the servant to serve tea and invited Lu Yanxiu to sit down. Wang just smiled faintly and did not greet him.

Lu Yanxiu was indeed a little embarrassed, especially now that he needed help from someone. Seeing that Su He didn't want to pay attention to him, he chatted with Su Ronghai in a disjointed manner. After a while of talking in a roundabout way, he finally got to the point.

"Master Su, I would like to ask where the old immortal who cured Brother Su is now?" Lu Yanxiu's brows were a little anxious.

"Old god?"

Su Ronghai thought for a while and suddenly remembered that Su Ling fell from a high place and behaved like a fool for a long time. It was indeed an old immortal who passed by and saved him.

"He is a traveling doctor who travels around the world and has no fixed place to stay. It is not easy to find him. Maybe I can meet him tomorrow, or maybe I will never meet him in this lifetime."

Su Ronghai really wasn't exaggerating. The old immortal also said that he was just passing by and saved Su Ling out of compassion.

His inquiring eyes moved on Lu Yanxiu, and he asked curiously, "Who in your family is sick?"

"No! No one is sick. I just have something I want to ask the old immortal for help... Lord Su, can I talk to Su He alone?" Lu Yanxiu said it very sincerely, and his eyes were cautious, fearing that they would not agree.

Su He looked over with a distant look: "Come out with me."

She stood up and left the study first. Lu Yanxiu hurriedly said goodbye to Su Ronghai and Wang and quickly followed.

Su He stood quietly in the quiet and slender bamboo forest, waiting for Lu Yanxiu to come to her. Before she could catch her breath, she heard her say, "The child you and Liu Qiuqiu had is not ideal, right?"

"You... you knew? Are you spying on me?" Lu Yanxiu kept everyone in the mansion silent, and there was no way he could leak the information. Apart from that, he couldn't find a better reason to doubt.

Su He thought it was ridiculous and gave him a cold look: "What value do you have that I can monitor you?"

"Then how did you..." Lu Yanxiu lowered his head dejectedly, not intending to hide it from her, and explained: "Ji'er was born with a black spot, which was long and narrow, almost occupying half of his body. I asked around, and no one in the capital can treat this disease, so I came to you."

Su He once revealed that the old immortal gave the Su family a location when he was traveling. That was the Taoist temple where he practiced. If we can get the name of the Taoist temple, maybe we can find him this time!

"I won't help you."

"Su He!" Lu Yanxiu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, trying to make his tone sound a little pleading. He was already putting down his pride for the child. "He's still a rookie. Can you bear to watch him being laughed at and bullied for decades to come?"

"That's your child with Liu Qiuqiu. He has no blood relationship with me. What does his future decades have to do with me?" Su He remembered that he had met Qi'er once in his previous life. The black spots were indeed horrifying, and would become more terrifying as time went by.

"You and I have been together for three years but have never gotten pregnant. Now I have a son and a daughter. The arrival of Ji'er should be the icing on the cake, but God is blind! Su He, that is my hard-earned child. Tell me where the old immortal's Taoist temple is. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"

Lu Yanxiu knew that she had a gentle personality and was always easy to talk to. In the past, he only needed to say softly to get her to agree, but now she refused to agree.

Ji'er's matter couldn't be delayed, and Qiqi had been crying since giving birth, her eyes were almost blinded by tears! If Su He couldn't find a solution, then he could only...

"Lu Yanxiu, you can say that I am heartless and indifferent, but I will not help you. However, if you want me to show mercy, that's fine..." Su He's gentle expression suddenly became a little colder, and he said word by word, "From now on, take off your shirt, walk barefoot from Su's house to Zhuque Street, then go to Lingluo Lane to burn a stick of incense, and kneel for half an hour. If you do as I say, I will leave immediately to take you to find the old immortal."
