Chapter 22: Do Not Spread

the Words He recalled the words he had heard in the rockery, and every word was repeatedly considered in his mind. His heartbeat accelerated as he recalled it.

Lu Huaihe looked at the bridegroom riding on the horse with a smile on his face. He felt the satisfaction of having obtained a rare treasure.

He was distracted for a moment, and his eyes, which looked like green mountains, seemed to be clear of mist and clouds, revealing a bright light.

"How much is the appropriate amount of betrothal gifts? Are eighty boxes enough?"

Qingyun was stunned, then his brows lit up with joy, and he raised his voice and said, "Young Master, you... finally got it! Whose lady is this? Have I seen her before? Eighty boxes of betrothal gifts should not be enough, right? The princess has prepared a whole mansion's worth of betrothal gifts for you..."

Lu Huaihe did not retract his gaze until the newlyweds gradually walked away. Perhaps he himself did not realize that there was a cluster of tenderness in his eyes.

But Qingyun saw it.

He covered his mouth, amazed at the details he had discovered with such a keen eye!

The princess had been waiting for a daughter-in-law for more than 20 years, and her dream was about to come true?

After a moment, Lu Huaihe restrained his expression, gave Qingyun a look, and whispered a warning: "Don't spread rumors."

Qingyun said yes repeatedly.

When Lu Huaihe got back into the carriage, he drove the carriage and deliberately said loudly: "Young master, when you come to marry, of course the betrothal gifts will be flowing like water, and the love will be like real gold, but you can't lose the grace of our Princess's Mansion! The Princess is rich..." Lu

Huaihe's eyebrows were raised deliberately in the car, and he was really not angry.

Lu Mansion, listening to the Jade Pavilion.

The soothing incense rising from the incense burner could be smelled throughout the room. Liu Qiuqiu lay on the bed, retracted her wrist, and asked the doctor carefully: "How is it? Is the fetus okay?"

"Auntie, there's nothing abnormal with the fetus in your belly. You just need to rest assured and be fine."

Liu Qiuqiu felt that the doctor did not take her pulse carefully. She was just admiring the flowers in the yard when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her abdomen and almost fainted. Fortunately, Mingchun came to support her in time!

She looked at Lu Yanxiu pitifully, with grievances falling along with her tears: "Could it be that the wronged spirit of the eldest lady is still here? She has never liked me..."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yanxiu immediately retorted: "Even if mother doesn't like you, you are of the Lu family blood, and she has no reason to cause trouble! In my opinion, you didn't get enough rest last night. Let the maid make you some ginseng soup later, and then close your eyes and sleep for a while, okay?"

Regardless of the presence of the doctor, Liu Qiuqiu directly drilled into Lu Yanxiu's arms and rubbed against him, and said coquettishly in a seductive voice: "I was scared last night and I really didn't get enough rest. My husband, don't leave, sleep with me, okay?"

The doctor's old face blushed, and he thought: Where did this concubine come from? Talking so rudely?

Lu Yanxiu didn't agree, pushed her away from his arms, and explained: "Today is my mother's funeral, I must stay in front of the mourning hall, otherwise it would be unfilial. Qiuqiu, you have always been the most obedient, don't make it difficult for me."

Liu Qiuqiu knew that even if she acted coquettishly, she could only do so much. Lu Yanxiu was not a perfect person. Once his patience was exhausted, he would immediately turn his face away. She had followed Lu Yanxiu for so many years and had already understood his personality.

"Then...you have to come to see me later."

Lu Yanxiu said okay.

Before leaving the door, Liu Qiuqiu called him again, hugged his neck, leaned over and kissed him before reluctantly letting him go.

For some reason, Lu Yanxiu suddenly remembered Su He standing properly in front of the mourning hall in coarse linen mourning clothes, and her bright eyes were a little more solemn today. But she seemed to have never taken the initiative to make any intimate gestures to Lu Yanxiu. Even holding hands could make her blush slightly.

She and Liu Qiuqiu were very different.

One was like a lotus in a jade pond, pure and independent.

The other was like a rose in a climbing courtyard, flourishing along the wall.

Lu Yanxiu thought that if Su He really did the same thing to please and cater to Liu Qiuqiu, she would no longer be a rich lady.

There was silence in front of the mourning hall, and no guests stayed there anymore. Lu Yanxiu thought that Lu Huaihe would be waiting at the mansion, but he was told that he had left the Lu mansion long ago.

He also wanted to ask Lu Huaihe about some things about Princess Zhaoyang. If she can take pity on her, the prosperity of the Lu family will be just around the corner!

Lu Yanxiu took his anger out on Su Ho, blaming her for not retaining the distinguished guest.

Seeing that she was kneeling by the brazier and burning the last paper money, he walked forward in three or two steps, took the paper money in her hand and threw it in the air, saying in a resentful tone, "Why didn't you keep Mr. Lu? You know how much easier it would be for us if the Lu family could get his help?"

The paper money fell to the ground with the wind. Su Ho bent down to pick it up and put it back into the brazier. The flames illuminated her eyes.

"Is Master Lu confused? You have already handed over the divorce agreement to me. I don't need to take care of the affairs of the mansion anymore. Besides, making friends with the rich and powerful is your business. What does it have to do with a woman like me? Master Lu is angry and thinks I'm easy to bully?"

Lu Zhili and Lu Yunqing on the side seemed to have heard great news. Sister-in-law and elder brother divorced? How come they didn't hear the news?

"You..." Lu Yanxiu was speechless. He actually forgot about this. He wiped his face and flicked his sleeves heavily without

saying anything. Su He was right. She had nothing to do with the Lu Mansion anymore.

But it might be inappropriate to mention this matter in front of Zhang's spirit tablet.

"Sister-in-law, are you and your brother really getting divorced?"

Lu Yunqing didn't expect Su He to be so decisive? As a woman, where can she go after leaving the Lu Mansion? Go back to the Su family? The Su family is such a noble family, will they tolerate such a woman to go back?

Su He lit a stick of incense, closed her eyes and bowed three times, then stood up and responded to Lu Yunqing.

"Divorce...my brother actually agreed to it?" She frowned, as if she didn't understand.

This statement was a bit ambiguous, and Pei Xia couldn't help but want to refute it.

Su He smiled lightly: "Do you think there's anything wrong with it?"

She had a smile on her cheek, but the smile did not reach her eyes. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife and looked straight at Lu Yunqing.

"I'm just curious. It's obvious that you have no children, and your brother should write a letter of divorce, so why did you just divorce?" In this life, Su He has never had a conflict with Lu Yunqing, and now it is a head-on confrontation.

She did not hide the contempt in her tone, as if not having children is a great sin.

"Today is your mother's funeral, why are you still wearing a pair of red jade earrings?"

Su He's voice was not raised, and her eyes fell calmly on Lu Yunqing's ears. The red jade earrings became the only bright color on her body.

"You are no longer my sister-in-law, why do you still care about what I do? What earrings I wear is my own business...ah! It hurts!"

Lu Yunqing stopped talking before she finished her words. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her left ear. When she opened her eyes again, she saw the red jade earring stained with blood falling into Su He's hand.

"You...you dare to pull off my earring?"
