Su He took the album suspiciously, and the portrait on it was Liu Qiuqiu.

But she felt strange.

This is just an ordinary private room, but the proprietress casually took out Liu Qiuqiu's portrait. Did she prepare it in advance?

"is her."

The lady boss smiled happily: "Her nickname here is Yang Liu. She can play the piano and dance. There are always many people who come to support her every time."

Su He laughed sarcastically.

Among those people, there was also Lu Yanxiu at that time, right?

"Has Liu Qiuqiu ever had any contact with you after she followed the Lu family?"

The proprietress's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't want to mention it, but when she thought of the little guard who had come to see her last night, her heart trembled and she replied, "I think there should be... but it was only once."

"Tell me the details, and I will reward you with gold and silver."

The proprietress hesitated.

It was obvious that she was generous and did not look like a willful or capricious person, so she told him everything she knew.

"After Yang Liu was redeemed by the Lu family, about a year or two later, her brother came to me in the rainy night and made a ridiculous request. He actually asked me to find a man for her. Actually, our line of work is more or less unclean, but she was just a prostitute before, not a prostitute, so I was confused..."

"Her brother was very generous. He took out a lot of jewelry to pledge to me and asked me to find a man for Yang Liu that night. I understood immediately when I heard that. I guess he wanted to hide the truth... She was lucky. There was indeed a distinguished guest that night, but he was stubborn and strong, and had some unruly hobbies. Many girls in our building didn't want to meet him. I was merciful and brought him to Yang Liu, but it was only that night. I never met her again afterwards."

The proprietress was talking about excitement, but she didn’t make it clear when she mentioned the identity of the distinguished guest.

This must be someone she cannot afford to offend.

After listening to the whole thing, Su He felt a little moved.

Aren’t the jewelry that Liu Jinglei carried with him also taken from Liu Qiuqiu’s dowry?

After receiving the news, Pei Xia gave the proprietress some more gold as instructed.

"Oh my God..."

The proprietress held the golden ingot in her hands, her eyes widened!

It’s so cool to earn a lot of money just by talking!

"Miss, what else do you want to know?"

She wants to earn more.

Su He said calmly: "I am not interested in anything else. What happened today..."

"Don't worry, don't worry! I won't tell you a word!"

It's done.

After Su He and Pei Xia came out of Jiaoguilou, they did not leave, but went into a dessert shop opposite.

Pei Xia watched Su He hand over money to the boss and ask for two bowls of sugar water, and was a little confused: "Madam, aren't we going back?"

Su He calmly drank a sip of sugar water: "No hurry."

Pei Xia seemed to understand, but he just put his heart at ease and enjoyed the delicious sweet soup seriously.

She usually didn't see any big scenes, but today she followed her wife and saw the unknown side of Liu Qiuqiu.

This also indirectly confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the lady's body, and the problem was with Lu Yanxiu. Otherwise, why would Liu Qiuqiu look for a man to have a child on such a hurried rainy night?

She was lucky enough to have a boy and a girl as her first child.

There is just one thing that is not clear.

The proprietress of Jiaoguilou said that Liu Qiuqiu had only spent the night with a man that one time, but she was clearly pregnant when she entered the mansion...

Pei Xia was surprised and was about to ask, but she heard Su He whispered, "It's out."

She immediately looked up.

"Qingyun?"

"Why would he go to Jiaoguilou? Could it be that he was going there to have fun..."

Su He said: "The Dali Temple has strict laws. Although he is bold, he cannot ignore the law."

Pei Xia didn't understand, so why was he here?

"Madam, shall I go and call him?"

Su He shook his head: "No need, let's go back."

Li Garden is brightly lit tonight, even the corners where usually no one passes by are lit.

Lu Huaihe came back from handling government affairs and wanted to go back to Qinfangju to see Su He, but the events of the day weighed on his mind and made him feel bad. After thinking for a while, he decided to go to the study.

Qingyun came to report.

"Sir, I have informed the proprietress of Jiao Gui Lou, and the young lady will definitely not be embarrassed when she goes to investigate."

"Has she been there?"

"I went there in the afternoon."

"I understand, step back."

Qingyun felt that there was a sense of low pressure pressing down on Lu Huaihe's head.

Considering that there haven't been any cases to deal with recently, I don't know what happened to him.

Before leaving, he turned around and said, "The young lady went to the kitchen as soon as she came back. Do you want to go and take a look, sir?"

Lu Huaihe paused as he flipped the scroll, but did not answer.

After the door was closed, the study became eerily quiet.

I know every word in the paper, but I just can't concentrate on reading it.

During the day in the carriage, she said she would prepare some side dishes in the evening.

There was silence in the air for a while.

Lu Huaihe closed the scroll and walked out of the study.

In the back kitchen, the sound of frying food could be heard from time to time.

Several old women were peeling ginger and garlic at the kitchen door. When they saw Lu Huaihe coming, they immediately stood up and saluted, but were stopped by him.

Through a threshold.

Su He rolled up her sleeves and stood in front of the hot stove. She used a spatula in one hand to stir the food evenly, and with the other hand she deftly put the remaining ingredients into the pot.

The fire was a little too high, and suddenly a flame came up.

Su He subconsciously threw away the spatula and took a step back, but unexpectedly she fell into Lu Huaihe's arms.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Su He raised her head, and her fair cheek was covered with a layer of soot without her noticing.

There was some oil on her hands, and she wiped them on her skirt for fear of dirtying Lu Huaihe's clothes.

"You're back?"

Lu Huaihe's eyes trembled slightly, he hummed, and then let her go.

Both of them were a little reserved.

Su He stood up straight and pretended to take the spatula from the pot, but was stopped by Lu Huaihe before she could touch it.

"Put your hands close to the boiler, be careful not to burn your hands."

He took the rag beside him and brought up the spatula.

Su He showed a satisfied smile on his face and said softly, "Thank you, it's great to have you."

Lu Huaihe's heart moved, his eyes fell on her rosy cheeks, and he asked lightly: "Why?"

Su He scooped the food out of the pot on a plate, and Lu Huaihe then noticed that a lot of dishes had already been prepared on the table nearby.

Both the taste and appearance are very good.

"Because you always stick up for me."

"The matter of Jiaoguilou was of great help to me."

Su He said to himself.

Lu Huaihe knew that Qingyun was not always foolproof in his work, but she still found out.

"As a woman, you will inevitably be harassed if you go to such a place."

Su He tilted her head and smiled faintly: "That's why I said, it's great to have you, otherwise it wouldn't be so smooth."
