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

Qingyun sometimes felt that Pei Xia was too careless to even think of this. After he reminded her, Pei Xia also realized that two days ago, when Lord Lu went to the Su Mansion to ask for marriage, he did not get the consent of the master and the lady. Now that the young lady agreed, they should also agree to this marriage.

Pei Xia was dissatisfied with Qingyun's complaints. He puffed out his cheeks and stepped on Qingyun before returning to the yard happily.

Spring is fading, and the fields are covered with red.

Lu Huaihe visited the Su Mansion again.

This time I came to ask for the bride price, ask for the bride's name, ask for good luck, and check an auspicious date.

Princess Zhaoyang said that she would let her son make his own decision, but she still sent Nanny Tang, whom she valued most, to the Su Mansion, which represented her consent.

Zhao Wanrong invited Su He to her house early in the morning. Several female relatives set up a table in front of the screen at the back of the hall. They could not hear the conversation between Lu Huaihe and Su Ronghai in the front hall, and could only see his tall figure through the screen.

Su He lowered his eyes and pulled at his sleeves nervously.

In her previous life, she and Lu Yan had a simple practice. Before they got married, they just asked a matchmaker to come to their house, ask for the name and date, and then they got married. At that time, because they knew each other by themselves and there was no matchmaker, Liu just found a relative to be the matchmaker, saying that she could earn some wedding money.

Now, seeing Lu Huaihe making preparations for the wedding in an orderly manner, Su He couldn't tell what she felt.

Su Yun and Su Lian heard that Lu Huaihe was coming, so they came together. When they walked behind the screen, Su He saw that Su Yun's eyes were red and a little swollen.

"You're fine, what's wrong with your eyes? Have you seen a doctor?" Zhao Wanrong asked.

Su Yun glanced at Su He, bent down and sat down, and replied calmly: "I got some dust on my eyes this morning and accidentally rubbed them, it's nothing."

Su Lian moved her lips as if she wanted to say something, then she looked at Su He timidly and stopped.

Last night, Su Ronghai went to Aunt Luo's courtyard to rest. After drinking some wine, he was in high spirits and told her that Lu Huaihe wanted to marry Su He. When Su Yun, who was serving beside him, heard about it, she was shocked!

Su Yun guessed that Lu Huaihe might not choose her, but she could only decide between Su Lian. She never thought it would be Su He?

She was promised to someone else, and she was no longer innocent. She had been entangled with Lu Yanxiu for so many years, but Lu Huaihe didn't despise her? He was Lu Yanxiu's uncle in terms of seniority, so didn't he care?

Su Yun looked unhappy. She took a few sips of tea and found it bland, so she pushed the cup away. She subconsciously tilted her head to look to the side, and Lu Huaihe's figure appeared on the screen. She lowered her eyes.

"Your second sister has a happy event today, so don't look so unhappy." Among her sisters, Zhao Wanrong was partial to Su He.

"Happy event? Is it...getting married for the second time?"

Su Yun raised the corner of her mouth and mentioned this deliberately.

Su He raised his eyes and smiled slightly: "Yes."

"Then I wish my second sister and Lord Lu a happy marriage."

"Thank you."

I don't know what Su Ronghai and Lu Huaihe said in the front hall, but soon the elderly elders of the family arrived. The atmosphere was harmonious. I guess they were asking for the name and checking the date of birth. After everything was ready, the wedding date was set on the sixth day of the next month.

The procession of betrothal gifts filed in, from the Princess's residence to the Su family, parading through the streets, especially conspicuous. What was even more outrageous was that the betrothal gift procession was forced to walk around the capital twice, even though the distance was only two streets!

Countless mahogany boxes were carried into the Su Mansion, and lines of people came in and out, and out and in again. There were innumerable rare treasures of all kinds, and the housekeeper who was registering the betrothal gifts was dazzled.

"A large enamel vase with carved jade, three white jade inlays with auspicious and auspicious symbols, a green jade dressing table..." Zhao Wanrong took part of the betrothal gift list from the housekeeper. After carefully reviewing it, she couldn't help but be amazed when she saw such precious items, "Could it be that the Princess's mansion has been emptied?"

Su Yun glanced coldly at the list, then turned her gaze to the pile of mahogany boxes, and a feeling of bitterness surged in her heart.

They are both daughters of the Su family, why is there such a big difference?

Su Lian knew what Su Yun was thinking, so she tugged at her sleeve and whispered, "More betrothal gifts are a good thing."

With so many betrothal gifts, when it's Su He's turn to marry again, she can't take them all away, right? If she keeps them in the mansion, wouldn't it be a bargain for them?

Su Yun doesn't value these material things. To her, they are of no use.

It was getting dark.

In the evening, Wang specially prepared a banquet and invited Lu Huaihe to dine, but he refused.

"I want to take Ah He to Fanlou for dinner."

Wang was slightly stunned, "Then I'll go call her out."

Lu Huaihe said ok in a gentle voice.

Soon Su He was brought out by Wang. She was dressed beautifully today, with light makeup, red lips and white teeth, looking simple and elegant.

When she saw Lu Huaihe, she felt a little embarrassed. There were some elders around who were staring at them with a smile, which made Su He even more embarrassed.

"Fanlou has some new special dishes. I'll take you to try them."

Su He whispered "Okay".

Su Ronghai stroked his beard and watched the two people leave with a look of relief.

After the two left the Su family, Wang took a rough look at the betrothal gifts list, asked the housekeeper to copy it again, kept a copy for herself, and ordered: "Pile the betrothal gifts in the yard in front of the second young lady, send someone to check it carefully, and take it to her husband's house when the second young lady gets married."

"Yes."

Aunt Luo and Aunt Mei standing on the side could not help but frown. How could all the betrothal gifts be returned to the husband's family? Even if it was used as a return gift for the dowry, it shouldn't be so generous, right?

Su Ronghai also felt that something was wrong and advised: "Don't you still have Ah He's dowry?"

Wang replied, "She didn't find a good match before, so what's wrong with us as parents giving her more money now? Lord Lu has been sending betrothal gifts like water, but don't you know that the princess is watching secretly? Our Ah He has been wronged, and we must not be inferior to others in etiquette again, which will give people a chance to talk about us. What if it gets out that we are selling our daughter for betrothal gifts, will you bear to hear it? If you want to do it, do it the best you can. We don't need this little money."

Su Ronghai had not thought about the things in the backyard in detail, but after listening to her, he felt that there was some truth in it. However, seeing that the two concubines looked unhappy, he thought of Su Yun and Su Lian's marriage and secretly gave them a reassuring look.

They are all his daughters, so he certainly can't favor one over the other. We'll discuss this matter later.

The carriage slowly stopped at Fanlou.

When Su He got off the carriage, she noticed the back of Lu Huaihe's hand, hesitated for a moment, and then covered it with her hand.

Pei Xia looked at the two people's little actions and smiled knowingly at Qingyun.

"Lord Lu is quite considerate."

"If you are not considerate, how can you still get a wife?"

Qingyun was a little confused. To be honest, the master and Su He didn't get along very well, so how come they were suddenly getting married? He had just mentioned it to the princess two days ago, but he immediately proposed a date and raised the betrothal gift, as if he was afraid that Su He would go back on her word.
