Chapter 18 Divorce Letter

But listening to the cat's sad and painful cries, Lu Yi's heart was frantic and panicked. His mind went blank. He found a rusty dagger, sharpened it, and stabbed the cat in the stomach...

When he lived in the other courtyard, he saw his uncle killing chickens and ducks for them to eat. One cut would not cause pain.

Last night, it was dark, and Lu Yi did not see its miserable state. Now he was really scared when he saw it.

Lu Yanxiu had no better way for the time being. He agreed with a cold face that Lu Yi would receive ten boards and then kneel in the ancestral hall. After all the instructions were in place, he sent housekeeper Zhu to the study to present the divorce letter that had been written long ago.

"I'll give you what you want."

Looking at the divorce letter he handed over, Su He was stunned and reached out to take it.

"You work hard for the family. Considering our past friendship, I rejected my grandmother's suggestion to write a divorce letter. There is nothing in the divorce letter that belittles you. Since you and I are not destined to be husband and wife, let's part ways amicably and live happily!"

Lu Yanxiu spent two whole nights writing this divorce letter. He said it nicely because he was considering their friendship and didn't want the two of them to separate in an ugly way. In fact, he was jealous of the power of the Su family.

A random memorial could destroy his official position, so why ruin his own future?

Su He spread out the letter and took a look.

"Two hearts are different, it is difficult to be of one mind."

"Let's say goodbye and return to our original ways."

"..."

The content is indeed irrelevant, just some high-sounding polite words.

Thinking of the wedding witnessed by the elders in the family, the eight-lifted sedan chair and the red makeup. Now, several years have passed, and a casual piece of paper has separated her relationship with the Lu family.

Su He's heart was broken.

In the previous life, he was willing to tolerate Liu Qiuqiu and her children. It can be said that he loved the whole family. How could he not have feelings for Lu Yanxiu?

It's just that the once bright and beautiful feelings have gradually dissipated, so that the real and terrifying flesh and blood are exposed, making Su He feel that he is not worthy of it!

"Even so, it's not that others don't know that you've been childless in the Lu Mansion for three years! It probably won't be so easy to discuss marriage in the future!" Lu Yanxiu looked down at him, an overconfident masculinity emanating from his brows, "Su He, if you leave me, can you find a better husband?"

Su He frowned and put away the divorce letter. He smiled faintly and ridiculed him in the same tone: "Don't worry, it's not that others don't know that you have been married to me for three years, and I have had a mistress for three years. If people ask about it, I won't slander you."

"Why?"

"Sister Liu has lived in the other courtyard willingly and has no regrets for three years. If anyone asks, I will only praise your deep feelings and great love."

Father and mother are right, having three wives and four concubines is too common.

If Lu Yanxiu had not concealed Liu Qiuqiu's existence at the beginning, perhaps Su He would not have minded so much.

Liu Qiuqiu only felt that she was mocking herself between the lines. What great love, what no regrets, it was just that she disliked herself!

See, she is really a lady from a noble family. Even the evil people are so elegant.

Liu Qiuqiu took in her disgust for Su He, grabbed Lu Yanxiu's sleeve and asked eagerly: "Husband, Yi'er is so young, it's better to let him kneel in the ancestral hall instead of being beaten with a stick..."

Anyway, Su He had already obtained the divorce letter and was no longer the mistress of the Lu family. Why should she listen to her orders?

Lu Yanxiu did not consider himself a loving father, and those little thoughts shown by Lu Yi did not escape his eyes. Although he is young, the temperament he showed is what he meant to the executioner?

"Qiqiu, I know my limits in this matter." He said.

Liu Qiuqiu wanted to say something but stopped, but in order to maintain her obedient and docile personality, she could only stop begging, but in her heart she blamed Su He for Yi'er's punishment.

But it's just a dead cat! And it has to do with her son? I wonder if such a small bone will be hurt by the stick?

Liu Qiuqiu held a breath in her heart, and looked at Su He with a cold and terrifying look.

"You can leave the house at any time."

In front of the hall, a group of servants had been dismissed.

Lu Yanxiu spoke coldly to Su He. Without waiting for her to answer, a maid came running over and pointed tremblingly in the direction of Youran Residence: "Madam! Madam may not be able to survive! She wants to see you, Madam..."

Zhang?

Su He hadn't seen Zhang for several days since Liu Qiuqiu entered the mansion. She was afraid that she was thinner than she remembered. She never thought that the maid would bring such news.

Su He lifted her skirt and hurried to Youran Residence. Pei Xia had already rushed outside the mansion to ask for a doctor.

Lu Yanxiu followed Su He and asked as he walked, "Mother was fine yesterday, why is she suddenly not well today?"

"I don't know. When I saw the Madam, she was already lying on the bed dying..." The

maid's face did not show any sadness, and her tone was unconsciously lighter, as if they were freed once the Madam died.

In Youranju.

When Su He arrived, panting slightly, she saw many maids waiting outside the house, but none of them dared to go in. She looked around and asked in a deep voice, "Why don't you stay by the bed to guard the Madam?"

"To answer the young Madam, the young Madam won't let us in..."

The three words "young Madam" were particularly harsh in Lu Yanxiu's ears. He wanted to tell everyone that Su He was already the young Madam of the Lu family, and there was no need to listen to her orders.

But the words came to her lips but she didn't say them. Lu Yanxiu followed her into the house.

Mingchun came to clean the house yesterday, so there was not much dust in the house. On the bed in the inner room, Zhang was half lying on it, her eyes slightly closed, her face pale, and she looked lifeless.

Su He walked to the bed, took Zhang's arm that was placed on the bed, and called softly: "Mother, is there anything wrong?"

Zhang heard her talking, but her eyelids seemed to be fighting, and she finally managed to open them.

After her vision blurred, when she saw clearly that the person next to her was Su He, she tried to force a smile: "It's you..."

She must have not had water for a long time, and the wrinkles on her lips were visible due to dryness. Su He felt pity in his heart and moistened her lips with a handkerchief.

Lu Yanxiu thought of his mother who had scolded Liu Qiuqiu yesterday. How could she become like this in just one night?

It was as if all the energy and spirit in her body had been drained away. Her eyes were weak, her arms were drooping, and even raising her eyes became a difficult task. She looked like an old body.

"Mother..." he shouted.

Hearing his voice, Zhang's pupils widened, and she pointed at him with a slightly bent finger, growling in a hoarse voice: "Get out! Get out!"

Lu Yanxiu was too similar to his father. Even though they were a few steps apart, Zhang seemed to have seen that devilish man in a daze!

Seeing her strong reaction, Su He had to let Lu Yanxiu go out first, and it took a while for Zhang to calm down.

"I want to put on makeup, I want to put on makeup..."

Those few growls just now almost killed her, and she could only say these two sentences silently.

Su He agreed with tears in his eyes and turned to prepare the cosmetics box.

Pei Xia came in from outside, followed by the panting doctor. Fortunately, Zhang did not resist this time and accepted the pulse check obediently.

After a moment, the doctor shook his head regretfully.
