Chapter 100 Lu Yunqing, who was fattened by pig fat soup

The nanny who served the meal sneered: "Is this considered a sumptuous meal? You didn't see the main course in the flower hall. You can't even count all the dishes on one finger!"

"Are there guests?" Lu Yunqing asked.

In the past, although there were meat and vegetables in every meal, they were just ordinary stir-fried or stewed food, plus pig fat soup that was available for three meals a day.

She hadn't tasted such delicacies as roasted pork elbow and blanched shrimp for a long time.

"The young lady's sister is here."

"Only one person?" She asked vaguely, busy chewing and stuffing her mouth full.

"And there is Madam Lu who just got married not long ago, your former sister-in-law."

Lu Yunqing stopped picking up the food and asked before she finished chewing: "My former sister-in-law? Su He? Who... who did she marry?"

"Lord Lu Huaihe, the Minister of the Dali Temple! My aunt has lived in the mansion for a long time and is not clear about the things outside. I guess you must not know about the incident in your family?"

Lu Yunqing put down her chopsticks and pressed: "What happened in my family? What do you know, tell me quickly!"

The nanny shrugged and deliberately said: "I only deliver food, not buy news. If you want to know, go and ask yourself!"

After that, she walked out with the food box without waiting for Liu Qiuqiu to answer.

Lu Yunqing was left alone, eating without taste, but it was a pity to throw it away.

It sounds nice to say that she is staying in Qingxin Residence to take care of her pregnancy, but in reality, she is being confined. Except for the courtyard, she cannot set foot in any part of the mansion!

Lu Yunqing thought of the silent endurance over the past few months, and tears fell from her eyes.

She returned to her room, found a hairpin that was quite valuable from her pitifully small dressing table, and stopped a passing maid at the gate of the courtyard.

"Can you pass a message for me? I'll give you money for your trip..." Lu Yunqing said as she took out the hairpin that had lost its luster. The style was also relatively old-fashioned and did not look very valuable.

The maid's eyes fell on her round belly. She hesitated for a moment, and did not take the hairpin. She said directly: "What message does Aunt want to pass on? Just tell me. As long as it is within my ability, I can do it."

She also took into consideration that Aunt Lu was about to give birth. What if it was a boy and was liked by the eldest lady? In addition, the young master was about to return. He and Aunt Lu had secretly decided to spend their lives together and had feelings for each other. When he came back, Aunt Lu might still be in power and she wouldn't have to make things difficult for her.

Meeting someone who was willing to pass on the message, Lu Yunqing was delighted. She pretended that she had not seen the look of disgust when she looked at the hairpin, and hurriedly said: "Go and see if the second lady of the Su family is coming to visit the mansion. If she is, tell her for me that I want to see her."

The maid agreed and went to the flower hall.

Soon she ran back and reported breathlessly: "The lady who is visiting today is called Su He. I delivered the message, but she said she didn't want to see me."

"Why?"

"She didn't say anything, she just didn't want to see me."

Lu Yunqing was uneasy. She had lived in Qingxinju for more than half a year, and she had to live in a daze every day. She didn't know what happened outside.

The most anxious thing was that she had no way of knowing the news if something happened in the Lu Mansion.

"Please help me pass it on again and say that I apologize for what I said before, and I am willing to recognize her as my sister-in-law. For the sake of our previous friendship, please meet me!" Lu Yunqing begged the maid again.

The maid was really embarrassed and had to pass it on again.

Who knew that this time, everyone at the table would laugh.

Zhao Wanrong wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, feeling somewhat helpless: "She is willing to recognize Ah He as her sister-in-law? It's as if the fault is Ah He's own! Just report to her and say that Madam Lu is busy and has no time to deal with her!"

"But Madam Lu..." The maid remembered that Lu Yunqing was looking eagerly at the gate of the courtyard, and she didn't know how to explain it, and she was in a dilemma for a moment.

Su He ate his meal seriously and didn't answer.

Chen and Zhao Liuyun also just watched it as a joke and didn't say much.

Seeing that Su He had not agreed, the maid had no choice but to go back and report again.

After Lu Yunqing learned about it, she hurriedly took out a few taels of silver from her pocket, handed it to the maid, and pleaded softly: "Can you please go and find out for me what happened in the Lu Mansion?"

The maid glanced at the silver in her palm and lost her temper, "My salary is more than your silver! Aunt Lu, don't send people to inquire. It has been spread all over the capital that there are witchcraft in the Lu Mansion, and there is suspicion of cursing the emperor."

"Nonsense! My grandmother is old, almost the same age as the emperor, it is impossible for her to do such a foolish thing. My two brothers are also upright and selfless, and they will never use that kind of witchcraft to frame people!"

"Okay, I have things to do, so I won't bother with you anymore."

The maid left straightforwardly.

She never showed any desire for the hairpin and the broken silver, and it was obvious that she looked down on them.

Lu Yunqing was a little embarrassed, and she bit her back teeth and held the broken silver tightly in her arms.

After dinner, Su He and Zhao Wanrong left the Li Mansion and returned to their respective residences.

Lu Huaihe was not in Li Garden, but he asked Steward Lin to tell him that he would be back for dinner in the evening.

Su He was thinking about the affairs of the Lu Mansion, and she didn't have much to think about, so she just embroidered to pass the time. As the night deepened, Steward Lin finally came to report that there were guests.

"Let her in."

Not long after, Lu Yunqing appeared at the threshold wearing a faded black cloak.

Su He did not even raise his head, obviously waiting for her to speak.

Lu Yunqing supported her belly and stepped into the house. Her face was a little flushed because she walked in a hurry. While the maids were not paying attention, she sneaked out of the Li Mansion from the back door, and returned to the Lu Mansion before coming to Li Garden. Her grandmother was in bed in

worry, and her second brother was nowhere to be seen, but he had met with Liu Qiuqiu. Ji'er had just passed away, and she was listless and not angry.

Lu Yunqing couldn't understand. When she left home, everything was fine in the mansion. How long has it been? It has become so smoky and miasma!

"Mrs. Lu."

Hearing her call, Su He stopped what he was doing and smiled faintly, "Yunqing is here? I haven't seen you for a long time. Your belly is getting rounder and rounder. Sit down quickly and don't get tired."

Lu Yunqing showed a hint of hesitation, then took off the cloak and handed it to Pei Xia, then sat down on the low chair on the left side of Su He.

"I can't believe you've already married someone else."

What was really unexpected was that Lu Huaihe actually married her?

Su He was clearly the abandoned wife that his eldest brother didn't want, and she had been childless for three years and had a bad reputation, so why...

Lu Yunqing couldn't help but keep her eyes on Su He from the moment she entered the house.

Perhaps it was because of her noble character that she looked radiant, very different from when she was in Lu's mansion.

Lu Yunqing looked down at herself. Her originally graceful figure had become plump due to the pork soup, and her waist was long gone. Not only did she not have a single decent piece of jewelry on her body, but even the material of her clothes was the same as the ones worn by the maids.
