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

"If I hadn't heard it, I wouldn't have known that Madam was so worried about me. Madam is very thoughtful."

The last few words made Su He look a little ashamed.

Looking at Lu Huai again, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his tone was calm.

He didn't wait for Su He, he left the Su Mansion and got into the carriage directly.

Su He stood there for a few seconds, not feeling that she had said anything wrong. She was dissatisfied with Lu Yanxiu's mistress because they had colluded to deceive her.

But if she was a normal concubine, she would not be annoyed.

Even my brother Su Ling has a concubine.

Su He lifted the curtain and got into the carriage. Lu Huaihe, who was originally sitting in the middle, moved to the side as if to avoid contact with her.

Su He didn't know why, and wanted to break the deadlock, so he said, "I just said it to them, who made them keep talking about you?"

"so?"

"But if you really think they are good, I can also go and introduce them. After all, they are sisters, and we know each other well. They are much more stable than those women whose backgrounds are unknown outside."

"You!" Lu Huaihe's face turned pale with anger. He looked at him with gritted teeth and forced out a few words: "You are really generous!"

Su He answered seriously: "If you have other candidates, you can also mention them. Since I am your legal wife, I have the right to help you solve your problems. After all, you are also..."

She paused before finishing her words. She looked Lu Huaihe up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, but did not say what she was thinking.

On the contrary, Lu Huaihe couldn't hold his temper. He stared into Su He's eyes, his chest heaving slightly, his jaw clenched tightly, and he put his arms around her waist and couldn't help pinching her.

"Hmm? What happened to me after all?"

Su He fell into his arms, barely supporting herself with her hands, her voice soft, "You should have a son to inherit the family business. I can't do anything about this matter, so I can only think of more ways for you, so that the princess can rest assured."

There were rumors that she couldn't have children. Even her mother asked about it privately several times and even prepared some Chinese medicine for her. Later, she consulted the imperial physician in the palace and found out that she was fine. But Su He was a little worried, afraid that the imperial physician had misdiagnosed her pulse.

this one?

Lu Huaihe was so angry that he laughed.

If I marry her, does that mean I hope to have a son or a daughter?

"You think too little of yourself."

"What... does this mean?" Su He was stunned.

"Is my marriage with you just for the sake of having children and procreating? There are so many rich ladies in the capital, who can't have children? Who wouldn't want to marry into the royal family and become the eldest princess' daughter-in-law?"

The delicate rhetorical questions made Su He freeze, and every word was like a plucked string hitting her heart.

"Ah He, you underestimate your importance in my heart."

Lu Huaihe only hated that she couldn't understand his feelings.

The secret love and hidden love for so many years were unknown to others, including her.

But that wasn't the reason why Ah He wanted to take a concubine for him.

If you love someone enough, you won’t be willing to share.

Just like she had divorced Lu Yanxiu because of Liu Qiuqiu's existence, how could the lovers allow others to sleep soundly beside their bed?

Now Ah He wants to open the door to his mansion and welcome a concubine...

A bitter feeling welled up in Lu Huaihe's heart. He didn't know who was more important in her heart, him or Lu Yanxiu?

"sorry."

Su He finally realized that she might have hurt him.

The space inside the carriage was spacious, but the two of them were too close to each other, almost sticking to each other, and the atmosphere was a bit stiff, which made Su He feel cramped in the carriage. He couldn't move or stay still.

After a few seconds, Lu Huaihe let her go.

Su He felt relieved. After tidying up her clothes, she was about to explain to him when the carriage suddenly stopped.

Arrived at the Dali Temple.

Lu Huaihe bent down and brushed the curtain. He paused for a moment, but finally got off the carriage.

Su He opened the curtain and asked awkwardly, "When will you be back tonight? I...I'll make some snacks for you."

"I don't know yet. You go back first."

The tone is flat.

He walked into the Dali Temple without looking back.

Seeing this, Su He's shoulders slumped slightly and there was a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"Young Madam, do you want to go back to Li Garden?" asked the coachman.

Su He stared and thought for a while before saying, "Let's go to Jiao Gui Lou."

"what?"

The coachman was very surprised. Jiaoguilou was a brothel. What was the young lady doing there as she was a woman?

No matter what he thought, he dared not disobey the orders of his masters.

Jiaoguilou can be considered as one of the larger brothels in Beijing.

There were countless women selling their bodies and skills, all of them young and beautiful. However, if there was anything that displeased the customers, they would be kicked out immediately, and Jiao Gui Lou would not want them, so they would have to go to other places to do business.

Su He had heard Lu Yanxiu mention it before, that Liu Qiuqiu came from here.

After getting off the carriage, she stuffed a lot of silver into the driver's pocket and asked him to keep the secret and not let Lu Huaihe hear it.

It was noon and business in Jiaogui Tower was average. As Su He and Pei Xia just stepped into the building, a middle-aged woman dressed beautifully came up to them.

"Who are you two ladies looking for?"

Pei Xia stepped forward and asked, "Are you the boss of Jiaoguilou?"

"It's the little lady."

Pei Xia looked at her. She was probably in her thirties or forties, but she still called herself a young lady?

"We want to inquire about someone who used to work for you," said Su He.

The proprietress held her handkerchief over her mouth and smiled, "People are hired and dismissed every day in my Jiao Gui Lou. Some people leave without even knowing their names. Are you looking for someone? Did you find the wrong place?"

Su He winked at Pei Xia, and she immediately took out a heavy purse. When the woman opened it, her eyes suddenly lit up. It was gold! There were three ingots!

"Although my place has a large flow of people coming and going every day, they are all registered. I have to mark even a fly that flies out, hahahaha!" She held the purse tightly in her arms, and her eyes softened as she looked at Su He and Pei Xia: "Since you are sincere in doing business, why don't you follow me to the box?"

"Please lead the way."

Smoke was rising from the incense burner in the box.

Su He and Pei Xia entered the room and looked around, both of them were quite alert.

The proprietress came late, holding a pot of hot tea in her hand. After brewing the tea, she looked at Su He carefully, and then she was more confident and asked, "Who do you want to find out about?"

"Liu Qiuqiu, do you have any impression?"

The proprietress shook her head: "The only way to make a living here is to be famous."

Whether it is a water boiler or a beautiful dancer, everyone has his or her own nickname.

"She was a musician and never sold herself. After she became a good woman, she married Lu Yanxiu, a fifth-rank secretary, and gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl..."

"Dragon and phoenix?"

The proprietress frowned and thought about it, then suddenly clapped her hands and shouted, "I know!"

She turned to the carved cabinet beside her and took out a picture album. She flipped through it casually and found a page of portrait, and showed it to Su He.

"Look, is that her?"
