Chapter 122 Pregnancy

"Mother didn't like Aunt Lu in the first place. She called her to the main hall to question her late last night. She also... said that she would go back to Qingxinju after her confinement. The Li Mansion is so big that it doesn't need a concubine's child to inherit the family business."

Although Chen's words were a bit harsh, it was true.

The Li Mansion has a legitimate wife and mistress, who will give birth to an heir for Li Qi, regardless of gender. The legitimate bloodline is there, and even if Lu Yunqing wants it, it is impossible.

In addition, Su He deliberately mentioned Liu Qiuqiu and angered her. How could the enemy be happy?

"Yunqing, jump out of the fire circle quickly! It's dangerous there!"

Li Qi sent someone to fetch water, but Xiuyue Manor had not been lived in for a long time, and the well water had dried up long ago.

In order to put out the fire, they had to bring water from somewhere else. The servants had wasted more than half an hour searching for buckets and water sources. The straw had burned out and the dry wood had begun to ignite.

The firelight shone on Lu Yi and Lu Jiao's face, and they were sweating and screaming in fear.

Lu Yunqing looked at him coldly, with a hint of coldness in her contemptuous eyes, and asked tearfully: "If you really have me in your heart, why don't you dare to show it in front of the old lady? Why don't you dare to defend me in front of others? Even when you lost your child, you just said a few words of comfort. What do you think of me in your heart?"

She didn't know before that the man she had always loved had always obeyed Chen's words.

If there was only one time he disobeyed, it was when her secret meeting with Li Qi was exposed, and he had the courage to defend her a few words.

She and Zhao Liuyun got married on the same day. Li Qi used the excuse of entertaining guests in the front hall, but actually stayed in the wedding room with Zhao Liuyun.

And she was ordered by Chen to pack up her things and move to Qingxinju.

Even when she went to the battlefield, Li Qi didn't even say goodbye due to Chen's opposition.

Now she is back, but she has an injury on her arm, and she didn't give birth to the child smoothly. Chen gave Li Qi an unclear hat and was determined not to let Li Qi contact Lu Yunqing.

Especially when Lu Yunqing saw that her figure was out of shape and looked bloated, while Zhao Liuyun was still as beautiful as ever, with the noble demeanor in her every move, she could never learn it in her life.

"I..."

Li Qi was speechless and couldn't explain.

His father died early, and he was disciplined by his mother since he was a child. He was always under her control, so he naturally obeyed her.

The passionate feelings he had with Lu Yunqing disappeared completely after Zhao Liuyun entered the mansion.

He was young and was just confused by the momentary feelings.

How could the daughter of a rich family be compared with the daughter of a poor family?

Today, he got the news that Lu Yunqing sneaked out of the mansion, and he didn't even want to look for her. It was only when he heard someone report that she kidnapped the child of the Lu family that he hurried over with the servants.

The smoke rising from the firelight had already made Lu Yi and Lu Jiao breathless.

Qingyun was afraid that his life was really in danger, so he wanted to rescue the children. With his skills, it was not a problem to rescue Lu Yunqing as well.

"Don't go." Su He stopped in a low voice.

"If you keep going like this, the child will suffocate!"

Su He was silent for two seconds, and seeing Lu Yilu's blushing cheeks, he said lightly: "It's not too late to wait a little longer."

Qingyun agreed hesitantly.

The servants finally came with water, but the fire was too strong. Pouring buckets of water on it was a waste of time and had no effect. The fire was getting bigger and bigger.

Lu Yunqing sat alone on the ground, hidden in the shadows of the fire.

Li Qi and Zhao Liuyun were very anxious. There was no better way except to watch the fire being extinguished.

Su He was also waiting silently. She was wondering, would Liu Qiuqiu show up?

Is it more important for her to hide? Or are the children the most important?

Pungent smoke drifted in Xiuyue Manor. Su He smelled the pungent and unpleasant smell. Suddenly, she felt nauseous in her stomach. She leaned against the wall and tried to vomit, but nothing came out.

"Madam, the smoke is too heavy in here. How about we go out?" Pei Xia was concerned about her body.

Su He waved her hand to indicate that it was not necessary. She patted her chest lightly and felt a sour stomach and was a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Liuyun, who was standing by, saw this and came over to ask in person. After understanding her situation, there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. She asked in disbelief: "Sister...are you pregnant?"

She had observed that Su He did not have any cold symptoms, she was just nauseous, and it was very likely that she was pregnant.

But isn't it a rumor in the capital that she has been married to Lu Yanxiu for three years without any movement, so she can't have a child?

Zhao Liuyun suppressed the doubts in his heart and ordered the maids to bring a wooden chair for her to rest.

Su He froze on the spot when he heard her words suddenly, and Pei Xia was also stunned.

Pregnant?

During this period of time, she did feel that something was wrong with her body. As long as she lay on the couch, she wanted to fall asleep, and she felt listless no matter what she did.

Even the green plum juice that Lu Huaihe brought back to her before didn't taste sour and astringent, but was unusually delicious.

Su He silently calculated the time she had slept with Lu Huaihe in her mind. If she was really pregnant, it would be consistent.

"Great! If the adults knew, they would be very happy!" Qingyun was so happy that people who didn't know would think that there was a happy event in his family.

"Don't say anything yet."

Before the pulse was checked, Su He didn't want to make a fuss, and asked Pei Xia and Qingyun to shut up.

Seeing this, Zhao Liuyun also said: "Maybe my judgment is wrong. Sister, you should go back and ask the doctor to take a closer look. Don't worry, sister, I always keep my mouth shut."

Su He showed gratitude: "Thank you."

She closed her eyes and looked at the white wrist. After thinking for a moment, she covered her fingers on the other wrist and carefully felt the pulse.

Her heart suddenly pounded like a drum.

Su He thought that she was not good at academics and could not easily draw conclusions, but in her heart, she was extremely happy.

The fire not far away was getting bigger and bigger. Lu Yunqing was dancing like crazy in the fire circle. She threw her cloak on the fire in a daze, and it was burned to ashes in an instant.

Su He's pupils reflected Lu Yi's charming and pleading expression. She hesitated for a moment, then called Qingyun to rescue the child first.

The next second, a team of soldiers suddenly broke in, rushed straight into the fire circle, and risked their lives to untie Lu Yi and Lu Jiao from the pillars.

Then Baili Jun stepped into Xiuyue Manor, followed by the anxious Liu Qiuqiu. After seeing the children landed safely and escaped from the sea of ​​fire, her heart finally settled down.

"If anyone is not afraid of death, just roll in! I am not alone on the road to King Yan!"

Lu Yunqing smiled wantonly in the firelight, waving a burning torch in her hand. If anyone came one step closer to try to save her, she would set him on fire.

"Mother! Mother! We are so scared!"

Liu Qiuqiu hugged Lu Yi and cried bitterly. After the tears stopped, she faced Lu Yunqing's stern question: "You watched them grow up, how could you be so cruel? Is your heart made of stone?"
