The delicate boy I picked up after traveling through the book is a big devil
Chapter 71 Falling into the water
Su He was filled with murderous intent because of Lu Shangbai's neglect of him.
If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would really kill Lu Shangbai with one sword.
Fortunately, Song Yu's next words calmed the impatience in his heart.
"Brother Lu, don't worry. Su He and I will be together and we can take care of each other." Song Yu said.
After she said this, Lu Shangbai's eyes darkened.
Su He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and looked at Song Yu with eyes as soft as water.
Lu Shangbai didn't force it any further, but simply said, "Then when you leave, I will definitely give you a proper farewell."
In the afternoon, they all went back together. Since they had already decided to leave after two days, Song Yu gave up the idea of moving to another place.
As soon as he returned to Lu Mansion, he bumped into the hurried servants.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You've disturbed the guests." Chao You stood in front of Lu Shangbai and scolded the servant.
When the servant saw Lu Shangbai behind him, his expression changed and he said anxiously, "Master, something has happened."
"What happened?" Lu Shangbai asked.
The servant glanced at Song Yu beside him and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Song Yu understood his expression and said tactfully, "Brother Lu, you handle the matter. I'll go back first."
Lu Shangbai thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone to look for you after the dinner."
Song Yu brought Su He into the mansion and walked towards the guest courtyard.
"Tell me, what's the matter?" After the man left, Lu Shangbai spoke again.
The servant then said, "The second young lady pushed the second young master's wife into the water, causing her to have a miscarriage."
Lu Shangbai's expression changed when he heard this: "Where is the person?"
The servant said, "He is in the courtyard of the master and the mistress. The mistress sent me out to look for the young master."
"Let's go." Lu Shangbai said.

Qiyuan is the main courtyard where the master and mistress of the Lu family live.
Ever since Lu Shangbai was able to take charge, Mr. Lu's burden has been lightened a lot. Mrs. Lu has a gentle personality and comes from a scholarly family.
After Mrs. Lu Shangbai died, because his daughter was still young and he alone could not take care of the child, he sent his daughter to live with her mother.
Lu Chenghuan was taught personally by her grandmother. She is well-behaved, dignified and elegant. At a young age, she already has the demeanor of a lady.
In the Lu family's inner house, although Mrs. Lu is still in charge of major affairs, some minor matters will still be handled by Lu Shangsong's wife.
Therefore, daily morning and evening visits are not only a rule, but also the time for Lu Shangsong's wife to report on matters in the inner house.
Lu Shangsong's wife is Wu Shuyan, 26 years old, two years younger than Lu Shangsong. She is also the daughter of a merchant, but her family business is naturally not comparable to that of the Lu family.
She married Lu Shangsong at the age of eighteen and also has a son and a daughter. Her daughter is now eight years old, two months older than Lu Chenghuan, and her son is only six years old.
Although Lu Shangsong was born out of wedlock, he was personally raised by Madam Lu since childhood.
Mr. Lu has one wife and one concubine, and there is no dispute in the harem, at least on the surface.
Today, because Mrs. Lu was entertaining Song Yu for breakfast, Wu Shuyan was excused from saying good morning and asked to come after breakfast.
Not long after Song Yu and the others left, Wu Shuyan came to Qiyuan to look for Mrs. Lu.
After reporting the day's housekeeping arrangements to her and chatting for a while, he left and ran into Lu Chenghuan when he left the yard.
The two were originally chatting and laughing, but somehow, someone came to report that Wu Shuyan fell into the lotus pond and was pushed in by Lu Chenghuan.
When people were rescued, they saw a bright red patch under her skirt. The doctor came to check and told her that she had a miscarriage and the baby was only two months old.
Wu Shuyan was so angry that she fainted. When she woke up and heard the news, she was filled with grief and cried uncontrollably.
She shouted that it was Lu Chenghuan who pushed her down, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
Lu Chenghuan stood outside, his face pale, but he did not make any excuses.
Mrs. Lu came over to take charge of the situation upon hearing the news.
Lu Chenghuan's mother died early, so his father had to be informed of this matter.
And Wu Shuyan had a miscarriage, and Lu Shangsong must know about this.
Mrs. Lu sent someone to inform Lu Shangbai and Lu Shangsong.
This is why the servant rushed out and almost bumped into Lu Shangbai at the gate of Lu Mansion.
This is a family matter. If it is true, it can also be considered a family scandal, so it is not convenient to talk about it in front of Song Yu and Su He, two outsiders.
When Lu Shangbai arrived at Qiyuan, Lu Shangsong had also arrived.
The incident happened in the North Courtyard, but it was considered an inner-house matter, so Mr. Lu did not come.
Mrs. Lu sat in the upper seat, with Lu Chenghuan standing on her left and Lu Shangsong standing in front of her, who seemed to have just arrived.
"Mother." Lu Shangbai spoke as he walked in, and everyone's eyes fell on him.
Lu Shangsong turned around: "Brother, you are here."
Lu Shangbai's eyes passed over him and landed on Lu Chenghuan.
The eight-year-old girl, at this moment, stood there with her brows lowered and her head lowered, her whole body shrouded in a shadow.
"What's going on?" Lu Shangbai asked.
"Brother, don't blame Chenghuan. After all, she is young and doesn't know how to control her strength. I don't think she did it on purpose." Lu Shangsong was the first to speak up for Lu Chenghuan.
"She was the one who pushed me into the water. She did it on purpose. Lu Chenghuan, I treat you well usually. Why are you like this? My child, she is less than two months old, wuwuwu..." Wu Shuyan was supported by a maid and walked out of the inner room. Her face was haggard and her lips were pale.
His eyes were full of despair and sadness.
Lu Chenghuan finally raised her face, and her expression was not much better. She looked at Wu Shuyan, her eyes red and her teeth biting her lips tightly.
"Shuyan, Chenghuan is still young. As her aunt, you should be more tolerant of her." Lu Shangsong walked to her side in two or three steps and held her in his arms.
Wu Shuyan lay in his arms, sobbing and crying, feeling very sad.
After a while, she looked up at Lu Shangsong and said, "But our child hasn't been born yet. It's me, as a mother, who failed to protect him well." After saying that, she burst into tears again.
"Okay, second son's wife, you are weak, don't worry. Xiangxu, help your wife go in to rest." Mrs. Lu spoke.
Wu Shuyan didn't want to go in just like that. She looked at Madam Lu with tears in her eyes and said, "Mother, you have to make the decision for me."
Mrs. Lu said, "You go and rest. I will give you a result on this matter."
However, Wu Shuyan didn't give up. She raised her finger and pointed at Lu Chenghuan and said, "Lu Chenghuan is so young, but her mind is so vicious. Ordinary education can no longer control her. She should be sent to the Women's Ordination Hall."
"Second son's wife, the matter has not been investigated clearly yet, there is no need to jump to conclusions." Mrs. Lu frowned.
"What do you mean, mother? Are you biased towards her? I know that my husband is not your biological son. I can understand your bias, but I feel sorry for my son." Wu Shuyan's straightforward words made everyone present change their expressions.
"Shuyan, don't talk nonsense." Lu Shangsong hurriedly hugged his wife tightly.
"The matter has not been investigated clearly yet, so it's too early to talk about favoritism." Lu Shangbai finally spoke.
Wu Shuyan's gaze also fell on him: "Brother, what do you mean by this? Do you think I framed Cheng Huan? So many people saw it, and she admitted it herself. I just want justice for my child."
