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

She secretly looked up to check Lu Huaihe's expression, and found that he was not unhappy. Then she bravely sat down next to him, took his arm and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Why don't you ask me anymore?"

Perhaps if he asked one more question, Su He would not be able to help but tell everything.

Lu Huaihe tilted his head slightly, his cheek pressed against her hair, and a faint fragrance filled his nose.

"You are not the canary in my cage. You don't have to report everything to me."

Su He paused while playing with the corner of his clothes, raised her head, and said with bright eyes: "Qingyun can obey my orders at any time?"

"Well, I'll stay with you."

"I wonder if he is willing?"

Lu Huaihe pulled the back of her hand and rubbed it carefully, his voice mellow: "Probably willing."

"When I entered the palace today, did His Majesty tell you anything?"

Su He hadn't noticed it all along the way, but now that she was closer, she realized that Lu Huaihe had a hint of fatigue on his brows. They were in good spirits when they separated from the Princess's Mansion in the morning, but now that they had entered the palace, the corners of his mouth had turned down.

Lu Huaihe said, "The flood in the southeast region is severe, and the court has allocated almost all of the national treasury to disaster relief, and it has been a long time since the salary has been paid. Recently, His Majesty has heard rumors that the relief money allocated by the court has been divided up along the way, and there is very little left in the hands of the people."

"In the face of national crisis, it is wrong to embezzle disaster relief funds. Your Majesty is trying to..."

The carriage stopped steadily in front of Li Garden.

Su He paused, the words stuck in his throat.

After entering Li Garden, the two walked side by side in the corridor around the beams. Lu Huaihe held her hand and said with lowered eyebrows: "In the court, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince's followers are competing against each other. No matter who he values, he will be displeased."

"So, I chose you to find out where the disaster silver is?"

Lu Huaihe hummed, "The Crown Prince is of noble status. If he encounters danger on the road, the country will perish. If we send the Second Prince, the Crown Prince will probably not be willing."

If the Second Prince could accomplish this task, he would win the hearts of the people, but it would bring disaster upon himself.

The journey to the southeast region is too far. It will probably take two months to go back and forth, plus the time spent in the local area.

Su He looked a little dazed. She and Lu Huaihe had just gotten married, and now they were going to be separated for two months. It wasn't that she was afraid that he would fall in love with someone else, but she really was... not prepared.

As if sensing her emotions, Lu Huaihe tightened his grip slightly and said comfortingly, "It's not time to set off yet. The emperor said that the decree will be issued in half a month."

"Ah."

"You stay in the capital, Qingyun will follow you in the future. With your mother around, no one can bully you."

After hearing his arrangements, Su He suddenly felt that this trip was not simple.

In the face of floods, those officials can still blatantly embezzle disaster relief funds. Perhaps they have protectors behind them.

She looked up at Lu Huaihe, paused, and her eyes flickered: "I won't stay in the capital."

"Why?"

"Where are you, where am I."

"The journey is not easy, as the mountains are high and the waters are long."

Su He replied: "You said that I am not a canary in a cage. Isn't the capital a cage?"

Lu Huaihe smiled helplessly: "The capital is the capital of the country, a place where people come to worship, it is prosperous and flourishing, how can it be considered a cage?"

"To me, it's just a cage. Since you want to leave here, why should I stay?" Su He let go of his hand and said angrily, "Anyway, wherever you go, I'll follow you!"

"…We will discuss this matter later."

Lu Huaihe quickly followed behind her, looking at her with a playful look, "Let's discuss the return visit, shall we?"

Su He glanced at him and deliberately quickened his pace.

In previous lives, plagues occurred after floods.

Although Lu Huaihe will not die here, he will be plotted against and lose half his life.

Su He secretly made a decision that she must stay by his side!

The next day.

Jinque Tower is open as usual.

Su He came here again in disguise, looked around, and found Liu Jinglei in the corner.

All his money was taken away and his clothes were torn to shreds.

When he saw Su He, his eyes lit up: "It's you, little brother!"

He reached out and took the purse from Su He's waist and began to count the silver. After counting the amount, he held the purse and said to Su He cheerfully, "Can you consider this money as a loan to me? I'll return it to you if you win!"

Su He asked, "Where's your money?"

"My money was robbed by those bastards! Damn it, I've always been the one robbing others' money, when has anyone dared to rob me?" As soon as Liu Jinglei arrived at Jinque Tower this morning, he was dragged away and beaten by a group of masked men. All his money was looted, and even his pants were ripped open to take a look, for fear that he was hiding contraband.

I'm confused, how could someone steal his property?

Seeing that his face was still bruised, Su He's eyes flashed with pride. He lowered his head and pulled out a stack of banknotes from his waist, threw them in his face, and said calmly: "This money is not a loan, I'll give it to you directly."

"really?"

"Of course I take it seriously, but you have to exchange something for it."

Liu Jinglei was a little wary: "What is that?"

He had nothing on his body except his face, so it was not worth throwing away.

Su He said, "It can be jewelry or gossip. As I said before, my wife is very rich and won't care about this. I spend money just for fun. How about it? Do you want to exchange?"

"I don't have anything valuable..." Liu Jinglei said halfway when he saw Su He take out another stack of silver bills, a total of two stacks of silver bills and a full purse.

His eyes lit up and he felt itchy inside.

"Do you mean what you say?" he asked.

"One word and nine tripods."

Liu Jinglei was silent for a few seconds, then looked up at her and said after a moment: "There is an inside scoop in the capital that only I know. Do you want to hear it?"

Su He raised an eyebrow.

Liu Jinglei stretched out his hand, moved his fingers slightly, and smiled greedily: "The money is not enough, you have to add more."

Su He curled the corner of her mouth and stretched out her hand. Pei Xia, who was standing behind her, immediately took out an even thicker stack of banknotes and put it in her hand.

Liu Jinglei was immediately shocked.

I quickly realized that the young man in front of me was indeed rich.

"Can I tell you now?" Su He shook the banknote in his hand.

Liu Jinglei's eyes flickered.

This money is enough to buy a yard!

He swallowed, narrowed his eyes and said word by word: "Does the Lu family in the capital know?"

"I heard something."

Liu Jinglei laughed mockingly and whispered in Su He's ear, "Those twins are not Lu Yanxiu's flesh and blood at all! Including the baby boy who was born now, the one with black spots, he is not his either."

Su He clenched her hands in her sleeves and said in a cold voice, "How do you know?"

"That aunt is my biological sister. It's because Lu Yanxiu has that useless thing. My sister has been with him for several years, but she has never gotten pregnant! If I hadn't found her a good old lover who is strong, how could she have given birth to twins?"

After the last word fell, he looked down and glanced at the ear hole on Su He's earlobe.
