Chapter 115: Fire in Fangfei Garden
Su Yanqiu's whole body froze in place, his cold eyes fixed on Qinghe's slightly bulging belly.
He clenched his fists slightly and walked step by step into the front hall of the Su family.
Didn’t he send someone to kill Qinghe?
Why is she still alive? What if she returns to the Su family and Su Yuheng sees her?
Qinghe sat on the chair cautiously and saw murderous intent in Su Yanqiu's eyes when he looked at her.
She clutched the hem of her skirt tightly, looked at Old Madam Su, and didn't dare to say a word.
"Grandma, the baby in her belly is not mine!"
"You want to enter the mansion and become my concubine, but I don't agree!"
Old Madam Su was leaning on a cane, her face ashen.
"The baby in Qinghe's belly, the birth month, and everything else match, so why isn't it yours?"
"Could it be that you are still thinking about Heng'er?"
"Yanqiu, how long are you going to be confused now? There is no way you and Heng'er can be together."
Su Yanqiu continued to walk into the front hall and slowly sat down on the chair.
He turned his head to look at Qing He and said coldly: "Then this prince asks you, why were you in the First-class Building in the first place? Why were you with this prince..."
Qinghe stammered and lowered his head.
"Tell me! Why?"
"Now that you're pregnant, you actually have the nerve to come to me?"
"You are wrong, Prince." Qinghe said with a sob.
"At the beginning, I was just a maid in Yipinlou. I went to add tea for the prince, and was misled by him."
"Come to think of it, the incense in that wing room was all made by Madam."
"Qing He now has nothing else to ask for, except that the prince can give me an explanation for the child in my belly. I don't want him to live without a name and be laughed at for his whole life."
Su Yanqiu snorted coldly, "This prince has ruined your innocence. Is it this prince who ruined your innocence, or did you frame this prince?"
"Don't threaten me with the child. I won't accept you as my concubine!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Su slapped the armchair with her palm.
"It's in vain that your grandmother taught you this since you were little. You're still like this? Now you've done something wrong and you don't admit it. You don't even want your own child?"
"This matter is not up to you!"
After saying this, Madam Su took out the document for taking a concubine from her sleeve and placed it on the table.
"This is the document for taking a concubine, take a good look at it!"
"Qinghe, I was the one who married you into the family."
"Grandma!" Su Yanqiu stood up and reached out to take the document for taking a concubine.
He picked up the document for taking a concubine and took a glance at it.
My body stiffened unconsciously.
"You insist on forcing me to do this?"
"What about Heng'er? Now that she knows, what will she say?"
Old Madam Su snatched the document for taking a concubine and put it in her lapel.
"She already knows."
"Besides, what does it have to do with her if you take a concubine?"
"She's grown up now, it's time for her to find a good family to marry into."
After Mrs. Su finished speaking, she looked at Aunt Zhang beside her.
"Mrs. Qing is pregnant now. Help her go and rest."
"Send some supplements to her yard these days and take good care of her. If anyone dares to murder her and I catch him, I will make sure she is killed to pieces."
"Yes, ma'am."
Nanny Zhang helped Qinghe up from the chair and went to the side courtyard of Su Yanqiu's Qingfeng Courtyard.
Su Yanqiu stood there, looking at Old Madam Su's tough attitude, feeling a little at a loss.
Where is Heng'er now? He must be very sad, right?
"So what if my grandmother married her? I won't even look at her."
Su Yanqiu shook his sleeves and hurried to Fangfei Garden.
Fangfei Courtyard was extremely quiet, with only the lights in the main wing still on.
Just as Su Yanqiu was about to step in, he heard Bai Lu's voice.
"Sir, the prince has already taken a concubine, so please don't bother the young lady."
"My lady has lost her appetite since returning today. Please don't stimulate her any further, my lord."
Su Yanqiu glanced at Bai Lu coldly, and Bai Lu was frightened by his eyes.
She took a step back, and Su Yanqiu hurriedly stepped into the side room.
The door of the wing room creaked open, and a familiar slender figure was seen half-lying on the bed behind the screen.
The woman's figure was half-hidden by the bed curtain, revealing her familiar bun and light purple clothes.
She was still wearing the hairpin he gave her.
He walked closer, stopped in front of the bed for a moment, and spoke after a long time.
"Heng'er, you are very sad, right?"
"I swear, the position of wife will be yours from now on."
"I will never touch her again. My relationship with Qing He was just an accident. You are the only one in my heart."
The girl on the bed didn't say anything, just sobbed softly.
Su Yanqiu felt heartbroken.
"Heng'er, I'm sorry."
He was about to go over and lift the bed curtain, and the maid Bai Zhi rushed out.
"Prince, please go back and let the young lady think it over first."
"Young lady has suffered enough setbacks these days. If the prince continues to provoke young lady, young lady will only hate him even more."
"Since the prince said that he truly loves our young lady, he should care about her feelings."
"If the prince truly cares for our young lady, he should prepare the three letters and six ceremonies, the phoenix crown and the red robe, and marry our young lady in the hall."
Su Yanqiu looked at the girl on the bed and knew that she was still sad.
He turned around, not daring to look at her again.
"Okay, I'll go and prepare it."
"Heng'er, in a month at most, I will be able to marry you openly."
After Su Yanqiu finished speaking, he left Fangfei Garden without looking back.
Now Northern Qi is invading.
As long as Prince Li, Prince Rui, and Prince Qin go to the border, the entire dynasty will be controlled by Prince Qi.
Once the King of Qi ascends the throne and becomes emperor, he can marry Su Yuheng openly.
One month at most.
After Su Yanqiu left Fangfei Garden, Linglong lifted the bed curtain and got out of bed.
Bailu and Baizhi walked up to her.
Bai Zhi said, "Luckily I tricked him this time. My heart was in my throat."
Linglong sighed: "Next, there is the most important thing."
"Is there enough fragrant oil in Fangfei Garden?"
Bai Lu nodded: "Everything is fully prepared."
Linglong nodded: "That's good."
"I've brought you both your indentures. I'll have someone protect you two and take you to Prince Li's Mansion."
Bailu and Baizhi nodded.
Now that my young lady has married Prince Li, she is the true Princess Li.
Wherever the young lady went, the two of them went.
"Pack your things quickly."
"good."
At nightfall, the two maids began to secretly pack their luggage.
There were a lot of gold, silver and valuables in Fangfei Garden. After the two of them packed up the important items, people from Li Wang Mansion came to pick them up.
At one o'clock in the morning, two maids secretly boarded a carriage through the side door and headed straight for Prince Li's mansion.
At the hour of Mao, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion was silent.
A huge fire set Fangfei Garden on fire.
The flames and thick smoke shot up into the sky.
Su Yanqiu was still sleeping in the side room when he heard Mo Yu's hurried footsteps and the sound of knocking on the side door outside.
"Prince, Prince, something happened."
He suddenly woke up from his dream and heard chaotic shouts and roars filling his eardrums.
Then, Mo Yu's voice came from outside the door.
"Prince, Fangfei Garden is on fire!"
"The Second Young Miss is still in Fangfei Garden. It's unclear whether she's alive or dead."
Mo Yu's words shocked Su Yanqiu.
He quickly got up from the couch and opened the door of the side room.
Not far away, flames shot up into the sky, and the sounds of roaring and water leaking were heard.
"Heng'er!"
