Lu Huaihe raised his eyebrows, did not answer, and moved his eyes slightly downward.

Su He quickly explained: "It's my sister-in-law who is pregnant! Not me!"

In fact, before getting married, Zhao Wanrong discovered that she was pregnant, but because the fetus was not yet firmly established, she did not make it public and only told Su He.

Su He was very happy to think that she would have another nephew or niece, so she thought of making a pair of tiger-head shoes by herself and giving them to the child before the birth for good luck.

"Oh? So it's not Madam?"

Lu Huaihe teased her deliberately, with a playful look in his eyes.

Su He felt a little embarrassed, and quickly turned sideways and put the tiger-head shoes into the box.

Suddenly an arm climbed up around my waist.

Lu Huaihe rested his chin on her shoulder, rubbed his arm with his fingertips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, it's time to rest."

The warmth coming from her ear moved Su He's heart. She answered in a very low voice: "I haven't put away my needlework yet."

Lu Huaihe held her slender hand in his palm, breathing softly: "Pei Xia will take care of it."

"Madam, there is a guest who wants to see you!"

As soon as Lu Huaihe finished his first sentence, Pei Xia's voice came from behind. She knocked on the door and said again: "I have already declined, but that person won't leave!"

There are not many people who can come to Liyuan to find her.

Su He thought about it, but couldn't think of who it was. Lu Huaihe held her waist tightly and asked outside, "Which guest?"

"Yes...it's the eldest young master of the Lu family."

Lu Yanxiu?

Su He felt that the force on his waist increased slightly, and Lu Huaihe seemed displeased.

"not see."

She uttered two words lightly.

It wasn't because she wanted to agree with Lu Huaihe's wishes, but because she herself didn't want to see him.

Pei Xia agreed and turned to go outside the mansion to tell Lu Yanxiu. Not long after, she turned back.

"Madam, he won't leave. He even said he won't leave until he sees you again." Pei Xiawei panted and complained in a low voice: "Really? We are obviously two families, why did he come to Li Garden to look for you? Don't he, a grown man, know the difference in etiquette?"

It would be reasonable to ask for an audience at the Su Mansion. This is Li Garden, the place where the master and his wife got married!

There was a pause in the room.

Su He raised his voice and said, "Tell him to wait for me in the front hall."

"Yes."

She stood up, straightened her messy clothes, and said to Lu Huaihe, "I'll be back soon."

"Your husband will be waiting for you here."

This sentence was really ambiguous. Su He's cheeks flushed red. She hummed softly, pushed the door and walked out.

In the main hall, Lu Yanxiu sat down awkwardly.

Walking all the way from the outside of the mansion, when he noticed the valuable furnishings in Li Garden, his eyes slightly reddened. Just an ordinary white jade bottle can allow the Lu family to live on luxury for half a month, and such white jade bottles are so cheap that they are everywhere in Li Garden.

"What do you want from me?"

It was early autumn, still a little hot, Su He was wearing a thin shirt, and she looked graceful as she walked over. When she saw Lu Yanxiu, she immediately remembered what Liu Jinglei said.

Over the years, the three words "childless" seemed to have nailed her to the pillar of shame. Inability to bear children must have been the woman's fault, and Lu Yanxiu refused to accept the imperial physician's diagnosis, and even, like everyone else, put the blame on Su He.

After Liu Qiuqiu gave birth to the baby, everyone in the Lu family was extremely proud. If they knew that the twins were born to Liu Qiuqiu and another man, who would go crazy first, Liu or Lu Yanxiu?

There was a gleam in Su He's eyes, as if he could foresee the near future.

At least, this matter must be settled before she leaves Beijing with Lu Huaihe and goes to the south of the Yangtze River.

"I never thought you would marry... Lord Lu."

The word "uncle" was stuck in Lu Yanxiu's throat and he couldn't say it.

I vaguely remember what he said to Su He when they divorced.

Thinking about it now, it’s actually a joke.

"There will be many more things that will surprise Master Lu."

Su He sat down calmly with a calm expression.

"I came here this time to ask for a favor." This was Li Garden, and Lu Yanxiu didn't want to waste words with her, so the topic got back on track.

Su He said: "Just tell me, I will refuse anything I can refuse."

Lu Yanxiu asked back: "How many years have we been friends? Are you going to treat me like this?"

Even Pei Xia couldn't stand listening to this and couldn't help complaining: "Is it because of your friendship with Liu Qiuqiu? When did you remember my wife? Now the Lu Mansion is in financial difficulty and wants to ask Li Yuan for money..."

She raised her voice deliberately to embarrass Lu Yanxiu.

Lu Yanxiu, who was easily angered, was really furious. Seeing Su He listening silently without any resistance, he could not hold back and said coldly, "After being apart for so long, you still can't take care of me! You don't even call me Auntie? How can a servant interrupt when the master is talking?"

"Really?" Su He squinted and said, "She will naturally shut up when I speak, but what kind of master are you?"

"you!"

This is Li Garden, which has nothing to do with Lu Yanxiu, and he is indeed not the master.

But since it was put out in the open, Lu Yanxiu felt that Su He was mocking him, and he became more determined about what he was going to do.

"Okay, I won't argue with you." He straightened his clothes and continued in a slow voice, "I came here today because of Lord Su's birthday. He has taken great care of the Lu family in the past, and has been especially caring towards Zhili. In seven days it will be his 50th birthday, and I thought of going to his house in person to congratulate him. What do you think?"

Su He raised her eyes and stared at him seriously.

Those eyes were clearly clear and beautiful, but when they looked at people, they were extremely sharp.

"Do you really want to congratulate?"

Lu Yanxiu's eyes flashed: "Of course, this is a favor, and it should be repaid."

Su He suddenly smiled.

He didn't know if it was Lu Yanxiu's illusion, but he actually felt that there was mockery in that smile.

"Since you want to congratulate me, I will accept this kindness on behalf of my father."

Lu Yanxiu seemed surprised. He agreed so quickly?

He also thought that maybe Su He wouldn't agree.

It doesn’t matter if he disagrees. He will go to the Su Mansion in person with the gift.

In short, you have to go there.

Yi'er's black spots can't be delayed, the Second Prince has issued another order, he must set up a trap...

The Su family is gone, it's gone, it's not worth regretting.

After Lu Yanxiu left, Su He sat in the main hall for a long time, his fingers lightly resting on the armrest, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

Pei Xia spat in the direction he was going: "What kind of traitor is this? Are you worthy of celebrating the master's birthday?"

"Did the Lu Mansion send someone to keep an eye on it?"

Pei Xia said: "We have sent people to guard it, and they will be informed of any disturbance."

Su He nodded.

He took a sip of the tea and said calmly, "Pei Xia, you may want to go to the brothel with me to investigate Liu Qiuqiu's background. It would be best if you can find out who Lu Yi and Lu Jiao's biological father is."
