Lu Huaihe had never seen Su He lose his composure like this.

Thinking back to the past, she was always graceful and charming. As the daughter of a noble family in Beijing, she had been the target of many noble sons' blind dates, but in the end she married Lu Yanxiu, who was of a lower official rank.

"You... need an antidote. I'll ask Qingyun to find it."

Lu Huaihe stared at Su He's painful and forbearing appearance, his eyes trembling slightly, and his fingertips moved, resting on the back of her delicate hand, and finally let her go.

"bloodletting."

Severe pain can temporarily make her lose the effect of the medicine.

Su He lay on the edge of the bed with a hoarse voice. The aphrodisiac drugs were running through her whole body. She felt as if countless ants were biting her all over. Just now, when Lu Huaihe touched the back of her hand, she felt so numb and comfortable that she couldn't help but want to scream out.

But as a noble lady, the daughter of a wealthy family, and now the young lady of the Lu family, she has already lost her composure and must not lose face again!

Su He suddenly raised her head, her deep red pupils shining with light, and she looked at Lu Huaihe with a pleading look.

He paused in pushing the door.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Lu Huaihe walked to the couch and lowered his eyelids: "I'm sorry!"

Su He bit her lip, her eyes moist, and closed her eyes.

The clothes on his shoulder slipped off, and the sharp dagger cut a wound on his shoulder. Su He groaned in pain and immediately felt blood flowing from his shoulder.

Lu Huaihe was afraid of dirtying his clothes, so he cleaned up the bloodstains. The bright red blood contrasted sharply with the fair skin. He looked away, and the tips of his ears turned slightly red.

After the pain, Su He felt that the effect of the medicine was suppressed.

She leaned on the couch, breathing heavily, beads of sweat glistening on her forehead. She glanced down at the wound on her shoulder and found that the bleeding had stopped.

Su He knew that Lu Huaihe was thinking about her. If the wound was on his arm, it would be noticed by others if he wasn't careful, and it would be difficult to explain at that time.

"Thank you, Lord Lu."

She turned sideways to tidy up her clothes, and her weak and soft voice fell into Lu Huaihe's ears, with a tender and delicate voice.

His Adam's apple moved slightly, he reached out to lower the bed curtain, turned his back and said calmly: "Take a rest, someone will escort you back home later."

The dense forest here blocked out the sunlight, so Su He didn't know the time for the time being. The banquet was probably over, and although she was a little anxious to return home, her legs were still a little weak, so she had to rest for a while.

"Please trouble you, Lord Lu."

He kept calling him Lord Lu, which sounded distant and cold. Lu Huaihe hesitated for a while and said, "Lu Yanxiu and I are collateral blood relatives. You don't have to address me in such a formal way."

Su He's peach blossom eyes curved slightly, and she gave him a weak smile: "I know, uncle."

Lu Huaihe frowned slightly and looked at her sideways with a complicated expression.

After a moment, I felt really confused.

Lu Yanxiu was indeed his nephew, and there was nothing wrong with Su He calling him that. Otherwise, since she was ten years older than him, she couldn't just call him by his name, right?

"Qingyun will be guarding outside, so there's no need to worry about someone accidentally breaking in."

Lu Huaihe arranged his personal guards outside the door. Su He said ok and watched him walk out of the room.

Qingyun was waiting outside the corridor. When he saw the young master coming out, he was about to ask about the situation of the young lady of the Lu mansion, but he caught a glimpse of the young master's slightly red ears.

"Escort her back to Lu Mansion in half an hour."

"Yes."

The banquet by Minghua Pool is coming to an end.

Liu Qiuqiu left the table with an excuse and met her brother who was disguised as a servant, only to find that he had not succeeded.

"You didn't seize such a good opportunity?"

"I heard that the eldest princess's people took him away."

Brother Liu Jinglei looked embarrassed.

By the time he found Su He's seat, he had already been taken away.

Liu Qiuqiu didn't believe it. Su He had no connection with the eldest princess at all, so how could he take someone away?

On the other side, Lu Yanxiu looked for Su He for several times but couldn't find her. As the sky darkened, he couldn't help but complain: "How could a living person disappear out of thin air?"

Or maybe she saw him sitting at the same table with Qiqi and felt unhappy, so she left early?

Lu Yanxiu couldn't help but feel that Su He was petty and jealous. She dared to act like a child in the Princess's Mansion and even said that she was a noble lady in the capital, which was really a disgrace to her reputation.

Liu Qiuqiu, who rushed back, was in a bad mood because her plan failed. She just hoped that Su He would really disappear out of thin air and she would become the new young lady of the Lu Mansion!

"Young Madam is blessed with good fortune, there will be no accidents. If we can't find it, we will report it to the police!"

Liu Qiuqiu urged to go back. Because of her pregnancy, she couldn't sit or stand for a long time. Now she just missed the soft couch in Tingyuxuan.

Lu Yanxiu didn't see anyone, and it was impossible for him to search for her in a big way in the Princess's Mansion, so he had to follow Liu Qiuqiu's advice.

After the carriage hurried back to Lu Mansion, Su He did not come back.

Old Madam Lu Liu called Lu Yanxiu over and asked about Su He, which caused him to complain again.

Liu brought a bowl of hot tea with a smile on her face. There was a calculating light in her cloudy eyes, and her voice became a little higher: "Good grandson, grandma has planned something for you. When Su He comes back later, we can take advantage of her!"

Lu Yanxiu was startled: "What does grandma mean by this?"

"Su He wants to divorce and take all her dowry with her. Our huge Lu Mansion cannot survive with your salary alone. I originally thought that she could leave if she wanted to. She can't compare with those two cute and lovely great-grandchildren! But then I thought, she has been eating and drinking for so many years and has never spent a penny of our Lu Mansion's money?"

"I sent someone to set a trap for her in the Princess's mansion. I'm just waiting for her to lose her virginity. Then you can kick her out with a divorce letter. Then the mountain of dowry piled up in the Osmanthus Courtyard will naturally be ours!"

In the past, the dowry had always been piled up in the warehouse, but these past few days, Su He went crazy and moved all of it into the Osmanthus Courtyard, as if she was on guard against someone.

When Lu Yanxiu heard that he had lost his innocence, he immediately became anxious: "Grandma, you are too foolish. Su He is still a member of the Su family. What if she pursues the matter..."

He is just a small secretary, so doesn't he have the official position to be targeted?

Liu leaned back in her chair and smiled maliciously: "If she really wants to investigate, she has to see if she has the ability to do so! You don't have to be afraid of the Minister of Rites. Su He is already married. If her innocence is ruined now, will the Su family still rush to investigate? I'm afraid that we will become a joke in the entire capital!"

Lu Yanxiu knew that when Su He got married, the Su family was at its peak, and they prepared a lot of dowry for her, not to mention villas and shops.

There seemed to be a struggle on his face, and he murmured, "Just take Su He's dowry away, there's no need for us to plot against her like this..."

"absurd!"
