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

Su He said: "Keep sending people to keep an eye on him. If Liu Jinglei makes any move, inform me immediately."

She already knew who the man was who lent Liu Qiuqiu her sperm, and now she was just waiting to catch him.

At the Lu Mansion, Lu Yanxiu came home late again.

Liu Qiuqiu, who was drunk, couldn't help complaining. She stood aside and watched Mingchun wipe his face and undress him with cold eyes.

"Where did you go with Lu Zhili again? You two really are a pair of good brothers. You come home late every night. Are you talking about business or having fun?"

Lu Yanxiu was drunk and unconscious. He waved his hands repeatedly when he heard her words, smiling from ear to ear: "I have worked diligently in the court for so many years, and I didn't expect that everything would be solved with a dinner! Qiqi, I got promoted, I got promoted!"

Liu Qiuqiu's expression immediately changed, and she asked excitedly, "Really?"

"The Second Prince and I got drunk for three days straight and stayed out all night. He showed mercy and promoted me to the Ministry of Rites! Su Ronghai and I will be colleagues from now on..."

"But Su Ronghai won't be able to remain arrogant for long. After his birthday, where will the Su family be in Beijing?"

Lu Yanxiu spoke in a daze, his mind full of the situation of being surrounded by mountains of gold and silver.

Isn't the purpose of getting promoted to a higher position to get rich?

Thanks to Zhili who told him that he should show more faces in front of the Second Prince. He was also lucky as he happened to catch up with the Second Prince's banquet to entertain his staff. Lu Yanxiu won the Second Prince's appreciation with his courage when drunk.

But even so, if he failed to deal with the Su family at the birthday banquet, the Second Prince could still take his life.

When Liu Qiuqiu heard the words "Second Prince", she was stunned. She looked down and saw Lu Yanxiu drunk. She hesitated and asked, "Didn't the Second Prince... say that he is not favored by the Emperor? How can he assign you an official position at will?"

"He is a prince after all. Apart from the emperor and the crown prince, who else would have the guts to go against him? Even though he is only a deputy minister, it is also a transition. Su Ronghai's position will eventually fall on us..."

Lu Yanxiu knew in his heart that since the Second Prince wanted to use him, all his background over the years must have been thoroughly investigated. If Lu Zhili had not been caught in a cheating case, how would he have had a position?

"Hel me up."

He closed his eyes and held out his hand.

Liu Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, bent down and helped him to the bed, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Lu Yanxiu opened his alcohol-stained eyes and kissed little Ji'er on the face. Then he lay on his back beside him, looking at the ceiling and laughing foolishly: "It would be great if Ji'er's black spots could disappear completely..."

Liu Qiuqiu shuddered and turned away without answering.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the osmanthus is fragrant and the autumn scenery is pleasant.

There was a roar of gongs and drums at the gate of the Su Mansion, a grand celebration for Su Ronghai on his 55th birthday.

There was no need to be so extravagant, and it was not the Su family's style. But Su He had given the order, so the maids had no choice but to do it, and the master and the mistress had no objection, so it was considered an agreement.

When Su He and Lu Huaihe arrived in a carriage, distinguished guests were coming in one after another, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent a gift.

As soon as they entered, Lu Yanxiu came over with gifts. He glanced at their backs and wanted to follow them, but he was afraid that people around them would gossip. How could his ex-husband embarrass himself by following them?

There were many guests in the hall. As soon as Lu Huaihe entered, he was pulled aside to chat. Seeing that he couldn't get away, he gave Su He a helpless look.

Su He covered her mouth and smiled. She couldn't get out of the situation when it was around men.

Pei Xia leaned close to her ear and whispered, "The young master of the Lu family is here."

"From now on, keep an eye on his actions. If he leaves without permission..."

Su He whispered for a while, and Pei Xia suddenly became energetic and ambitious after hearing her words. She looked at Su He with firm eyes and vowed that she would never let her down.

She can make people feel at ease when doing things.

After Lu Yanxiu entered the hall, he quickly joined in the conversation, but his eyes were wandering and he looked around from time to time.

Su He hid in the gap of the carved windowsill and looked at him, her inquiring eyes scanning back and forth, thinking about how to make him lose the thing that he valued most the most.

Face, reputation or children?

"Second sister, why are you still here? Madam and sister-in-law are already waiting in the women's hall. You are the only one missing."

Su Lian suddenly appeared behind him, still with an innocent smile on her face.

She had always been like this, as if she cared nothing about any of the relationships in the house.

Su He looked back and said calmly, "I know."

The women's hall was full of people.

When Su He came, Wang waved at her and asked gently, "Where did you go?" When they were close, she said in a very low voice, "Except for some servants serving in the hall, I have reduced the number of maids and servants in other places."

Su He nodded.

In his previous life, in order to frame the Su family, Lu Yanxiu hid a note with accusations of treason under a flowerpot next to the steps of Su Ronghai's study.

When the birthday banquet was halfway through, the police led people to surround the Su Mansion and successfully found the note of treason.

The entire Su family was arrested and imprisoned, which also provided the fuse for Liu Qiuqiu to set fire.

Now that he has to do it all over again, Lu Yanxiu must pay the price!

Thoughts turn.

A stage was set up on the open space outside the hall, and the humming and humming sounds echoed throughout the mansion.

In the women's hall, everyone was watching the opera attentively.

Su He leaned back in his chair and listened attentively. When he saw Qingyun arriving late, he nodded slightly as their eyes met.

Before entering the mansion, she asked Qingyun for help.

Maybe, it's done.

"Oh, by the way, it's my father's birthday today, why didn't the young master Cheng come?" Su Lian took a bite of the osmanthus cake and looked towards the main hall separated by a screen. Although people were coming and going, there was no sign of Cheng Yu.

Logically speaking, he wanted to marry Su Yun, so how could he miss such a good performance as a birthday party?

Su Yun didn't want to pay attention to her and wanted to pretend that she didn't hear it, but she was unhappy and said sarcastically: "He rejected me once, and I rejected him once. It's just an ordinary marriage. What's so strange about it? Could it be that Fourth Sister is thinking about the young master of the Cheng family?"

"no no……"

Su Lian waved her hands and shook her head repeatedly, feeling a little embarrassed.

She just mentioned it casually, who knew why Su Yun was so crazy today and what she said was full of thorns.

Everyone in the mansion knew that Cheng Yu had no intention of marrying her. If he hadn't seen Lu Huaihe become the husband of the Su family, he would not have had the audacity to come to the mansion.

"Talking about marriage is a matter of mutual consent. Since Miss San doesn't like him, just turn it down. There are so many men in the capital, do you really have to marry Cheng Yu?"

Aunt Luo couldn't help but stand up to speak up for her daughter. She glanced at Su Lian and didn't take her seriously at all.

As soon as she spoke, Aunt Mei moved her lips and said, "Your family background is there. It is destined that you will marry into a family of your own. After all, Mr. Cheng's family has been officials for generations, and the family tradition is not bad. Miss Third, don't choose so much that you will end up with nowhere to go, haha..."
