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

Lu Huaihe lowered his eyes, his expression calm and without any waves, and asked calmly: "What did you do at Su Ronghai's birthday party?"

Lu Yanxiu was stunned.

Then he lowered his head and refused to answer.

Lu Huaihe did not press the issue, but just let go of the corner of his clothes and said slowly: "If you put this mind on your official career, you will not be just a secretary."

"The Second Prince clearly promoted me..."

It's Yuanwailang, not Secretary Cheng!

"But there is no official seal on the document. Your official position is not recognized by the court."

"How could this be?" Lu Yanxiu was completely stunned.

He was willing to frame Su Ronghai in exchange for the second prince just for the sake of promotion. Did the second prince play a trick on him?

Lu Huaihe glanced at him and continued, "I will not interfere in your case. The Crown Prince will try it himself. His Royal Highness is fair and just. As long as you are wronged, he will definitely clear your name."

That's right.

However, Lu Yanxiu was afraid that the cursed object might be something belonging to the Lu Mansion!

His eyes were bloodshot, he raised his head and stared at Lu Huaihe and asked seriously: "Uncle, for the sake of our family, can you protect me?"

Lu Huaihe frowned slightly, and the alienation in his eyes said it all.

Lu Yanxiu laughed at himself, and there was no respect for inferiority in his words. He sneered, "Even you were bewitched by Su He's words. Fortunately, we all have the surname Lu, and outsiders will at least be kind and give us a bowl of rice and a cup of tea... But you are worse than outsiders."

Although they have the same surname, Lu, and are from the same family, their careers are very different.

How many times did Lu Yanxiu want Lu Huaihe to help him? He only needed to give him a little promotion, and that one time, the situation of the Lu Mansion would be different. If the situation was better, would the whole family of them have to calculate Su He's dowry and do things that would be gossiped about?

But the Princess and Lu Huaihe have hearts of steel and are not soft-hearted at all!

"Are you telling me this to bring up old issues?"

Lu Huaihe's eyes were dark and his words were cold.

Lu Yanxiu was surprised: "What old account?"

"Why did the princess break off all ties with you? Why did she leave the Lu Mansion with me in my arms overnight? You don't know either."

Lu Yanxiu suddenly remembered that Lu Zhili seemed to know about this matter, and his grandmother seemed to know about it, but he had told no one.

"Back then, the Lu family sent people back to their hometown to worship their ancestors. My father and your grandmother's father were traveling with them. What happened that led to his tragic death in the mountains, while your grandmother and father returned home unscathed? Don't say you didn't know a word. After so many years, you should have been aware of it. Even if the princess doesn't pursue this, I can't let it go!"

After saying these powerful words, Lu Huaihe's chest trembled slightly. The scene of the lack of his father's company in the past few decades emerged in his mind. Recalling the countless times the eldest princess had shed tears in front of the window, the desire to find out the truth became clearer and clearer!

But the princess was unwilling to investigate.

Lu Huaihe could only endure that thought temporarily.

I just thought that since I had already severed ties with the Lu family, they should just not interfere with each other and live their own lives.

When he saw Lu Yanxiu today, he said those cruel words.

"You think I won't help you? Then let me ask you, if the Su family fell into your trap, would you save any of them? Even an innocent child?"

Lu Yanxiu's expression froze, and he argued in a low voice: "How are they the same?"

"How are they different? Aren't their lives lives?!"

"I...Uncle, it's not like that. You know Zhili is a man of outstanding learning and a rare talent. It was Su He who tricked him into cheating, which ruined his career and also ruined the Lu family's career!"

If Su He hadn't been behind this, Lu Zhili would have probably replaced Su Ronghai's position, or taken up a position somewhere else, but his rank would not be lower than his humble fifth rank.

Now everything has changed...

"The Su He couple and I are one. We prosper together and suffer together." There is an invisible power in Lu Huaihe's bones. His tone is not loud, but there is an unquestionable power.

In other words, he would not stand on the side of the Lu family.

How can we get close when there is a sea of ​​blood between us?

Lu Yanxiu already knew his decision, as if he had seen through his own fate, and smiled silently: "What a perfect couple! She and I were also destined to be together."

Lu Huaihe pursed his thin lips and pulled out a scornful smile.

"Now it's me who's beside her."

"you?"

"Go away."

The nights in late autumn are a bit chilly.

Su He stood outside the Dali Temple and waited quietly for a while before she saw Lu Huaihe coming out.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Huaihe touched her slightly cold cheek, and asked Qingyun to get a cloak and put it on her before he stopped.

Su He answered truthfully: "Mingchun was detained, I came to see her."

Lu Huaihe remembered this name, having read about this case during the day.

It seems like he is the murderer who strangled Lu Ji to death?

The case has both witnesses and evidence, and with Liu Qiuqiu's identification, the case will be concluded soon.

"I thought you..."

Su He stared at him: "What do you think of me?"

I thought she was here to see Lu Yanxiu.

Lu Huaihe breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head to hold her hand in his palm, stroking it gently with his fingertips, and said softly: "I thought you were here to take me home."

Su He smiled softly, her eyes full of tears.

"You are such a grown-up, but you still don't know the way back to Li Garden?"

Lu Huaihe curled his lips: "If you are here, I will know it naturally."

The warmth from his fingers moved Su He's heart, and she couldn't help but reach out and hold his hand.

Lu Huaihe was slightly stunned, with joy in his eyes, and let her do what she wanted.

Li Garden.

In the dead of night.

Su He and Lu Huaihe slept on the same bed.

Suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door, Lu Huaihe hugged the slightly frightened Su He a little tighter and asked hoarsely, "What happened?"

"Your Excellency! News came from the dungeon that Mingchun was poisoned and is dying. He will not die unless he sees the young lady!"

It was Qingyun's voice, still panting. He must have run all the way here to report.

Su He immediately came to her senses after hearing that and pushed Lu Huaihe away. Pei Xia, who heard the voice, quickly lit the lamp and helped her get dressed.

As human lives were at stake, Lu Huaihe also stood up and asked as he put on his clothes, "The jailers in the Dali Temple take turns on duty, how could they be poisoned? Who left without permission?"

Qingyun showed some hesitation: "Li Si's wife had a difficult delivery and was bleeding heavily. He was worried about the danger to the adults and the child, so he went back immediately without asking for leave or informing us. When we found out, the person who poisoned Mingchun had already left, and only Mingchun was left lying on the ground... We have already called a doctor, who can alleviate some of the poison. I think he can hold on until the young lady comes to see him."

Su He felt a little anxious.

Since he wanted to see her, he must have something to tell her.

Now I just hope the poison will dissipate slowly and stay for a little longer until next spring.
