Chapter 1 Requesting for a divorce

The Lu family's residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the sound of drums and music was deafening.

Su He sat in the hall, looking sideways at Liu Qiuqiu who was kneeling on the ground, with a gentle smile and a cold look that was hard to tell.

She stroked her slightly bulging belly, crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and followed behind her were a pair of children aged three or four.

"Qiqiu is pregnant again, and it has been more than four months. Thinking about the fact that she has been raising children for my Lu family and teaching children for many years, it is not easy. I think she should be given a status. Madam, what do you think?"

Lu Yanxiu protected Liu Qiuqiu by his side, and his children hid behind him timidly, looking at Su He with panicked eyes, as if she was a yaksha who ate human flesh.

Old Madam Lu, who was sitting in the hall, looked at Liu Qiuqiu kindly, and showed great pity to her children, as if they were the legitimate grandchildren of the Lu family.

Seeing that Su He did not respond, Old Madam Lu glanced at them and smiled faintly: "You and Yan Xiu have been married for three years without pregnancy, and Qiuqiu gave birth to a pair of twins for our Lu family, which is really blessed by our ancestors. Now she is pregnant with children again, and it is really inappropriate for her to live outside. Su He, you are the mistress of the Lu family, so you can take care of this matter." Take care

of it? Su He's eyelashes trembled, his fingers slightly bent, and all the things in his past life emerged in his mind like a passing glance.

Just because he agreed to let Liu Qiuqiu enter the mansion as a concubine, carefully waited on her during childbirth, and even registered her two children under his own name, taught them carefully, and never had any second thoughts, he ended up getting himself killed for no reason.

It happened that Lu Yanxiu had a smooth official career, his reputation could not be damaged, and the scandal of divorcing his wife could not be spread.

In order to win the position of mistress that he had promised Liu Qiuqiu, he went to the Su family to secretly hide the evidence of rebellion, deliberately leaked the news, and attracted the emperor to investigate, and finally the evidence was confirmed!

As a result, more than a hundred people from the Su family were arrested and imprisoned. Before the day of investigation, Liu Qiuqiu sent someone to set a fire, burning the prison to ashes, and no one in the Su family survived.

The poor nephew and niece were burned to ashes while hugging their sister-in-law and brother. Even the coroner couldn't pry their hands apart.

The Su family fell into decline, and Su He, as the only survivor, lost her support and became a pawn in the hands of Lu Yanxiu and Liu Qiuqiu.

Before she had time to feel sad, Lu Yanxiu couldn't wait to throw a divorce letter in the Guihua Courtyard and forced her out of the house.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qiuqiu didn't want to leave Su He alive at all. She joined forces with her brothers from her natal family and smothered her to death at the end of Zhuque Alley, the most prosperous lane in the capital, on the day Su He was driven out of the mansion. Her silk skirt was stained with mud and she died.

Liu Qiuqiu, however, lived a carefree life in Lu's mansion with her dowry piled up like a mountain.

Su He died with hatred in her heart. When she woke up again, she had been reborn back to Lu's mansion, before Liu Qiuqiu entered the mansion.

Now, looking at the fake old lady Lu and Lu Yanxiu in the hall, Su He felt as disgusted as if she had eaten a dead fly.

Looking back on the three years since she got married, she served the old lady, took care of her paralyzed mother-in-law, and took care of Lu Yanxiu's brothers and sisters. She behaved properly and was respectful and polite.

In the end, the tears and the heart are so deep that they might as well be fed to a stray dog.

In her mind, she still remembered how Lu Yanxiu looked down upon Liu Qiuqiu and threw her a divorce letter, and how ruthlessly he drove her out of the mansion. Su He felt indescribably bitter. She was clearly married to him in a formal ceremony and brought to the Lu mansion in a grand sedan chair, but in the end, they became his blood-feuding enemies!

Su He took a deep breath, lowered her eyelids, and tried her best to hide the bitterness in her eyes.

In Lu Yanxiu's eyes, this action made her feel that she was jealous of Liu Qiuqiu's existence, and even more jealous of her twin children. She looked at Su He coldly, as if she was unhappy: "Qiqiu is heavy and can't stand for a long time. If you don't have anything to say, just send someone to clean up Ting Yuxuan so that the three of them can move in."

From the tone of voice, Su He didn't need to make arrangements?

She raised her eyes and smiled slightly, casually took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, walked to Liu Qiuqiu and put it on her wrist.

That was the gift that Su He's mother-in-law gave her when she first entered the Lu Mansion.

Now, she gave it to Liu Qiuqiu without any care.

Lu Yanxiu and Old Madam Lu were both stunned, not understanding what she meant.

In surprise, Su He raised her eyes slightly and showed a decent smile: "My husband and I have been married for three years and have no children. Sister Liu lives outside the mansion but can let my husband have both children. It is really a good thing for the ancestors of the Lu family."

Liu Qiuqiu heard it, her eyebrows drooped, and her fingers tightly grasped the cold bracelet on her sleeve.

"I heard that my husband said that he wanted Sister Liu to stay in the mansion and serve me? I am in charge of Zhongfeng and the mistress of the Lu family. Sister Liu has made great contributions to my husband's children. Naturally, I dare not have any opinions. I think Sister Liu must have suffered some rumors outside the mansion and felt wronged. I feel sorry for calling her a concubine."

Liu Qiuqiu's face was hidden with a trace of hope, and her eyes full of water reflected Su He's beautiful outline.

"You mean, to make her a co-wife?"

Lu Yanxiu seemed to be reminded, and clapped his hands: "Why didn't I think of that? Qiqiu has been outside the mansion for many years, which is not easy. I am a concubine and I am indeed a little wronged. Xiaohe, you are really thoughtful!"

The word Xiaohe made Liu Qiuqiu unhappy, but she couldn't do anything in front of Mrs. Lu, so she had to pinch Lu Yanxiu's arm secretly.

Su He opened his lips slightly: "If she is a co-wife, it is really wronged for me."

Lu Yanxiu was stunned, and felt that something was wrong with the words.

Su He looked calm and ignored him. She bowed slightly to Madam Lu, saluted and said calmly, "Su He believes that although she has been married for many years and has never been pregnant, she has been filial to the old lady, served her mother-in-law, raised her brothers and sisters, and managed the Lu family without breaking the rules or damaging the reputation. Today, I ask for a divorce and am willing to give up the position of mistress for Sister Liu. I hope the old lady will agree!"

It turned out to be a divorce?

Lu Yanxiu's pupils were deep, and his lips moved. He wanted to say something, but Madam Lu scolded Su He first: "No!"

Her cloudy eyes rolled, and she immediately made a shrewd plan.

Lu Yanxiu was only a fifth-rank secretary in the court. Although his monthly salary was paid on time, it was far from enough to cover the expenses of the mansion.

Just the medicine for Zhang, who was paralyzed in bed, had to be paid every month, not to mention that Lu Yanxiu had two younger brothers and sisters, who were also about to spend money. Now with the addition of Liu Qiuqiu and her son, the expenses were even greater. However, the Lu mansion's treasury was empty and it had long been an empty shell that could not support the huge expenses of the Lu mansion.

In the past, housekeeper Su He used her dowry to make up for any shortage of money, and she never complained.

If she and Li left the mansion and relied on Lu Yanxiu's meager salary, wouldn't everyone in the Lu mansion starve to death on the streets?

Mrs. Lu thought of this, and personally helped Su Hejie up, and carefully advised: "You have always been the most sensible. A woman follows her husband after marriage, and which husband does not have many wives and concubines, and children around his knees? You have been pregnant for many years, and it is not your fault that Yan Xiu has a concubine. Look at how obedient and cute these twins are. When the time comes, they will surround your knees and call you mother obediently to make up for your regret. In my heart, aren't you happy to hear this?"
