Chapter 37 Qi Sheng

Lu Yanxiu and Liu Qiuqiu had been together for a long time. At that time, he wanted to take Liu Qiuqiu into the mansion, but Liu Shi did not allow it, so the two had to keep in touch outside the mansion.

Later, Lu Yanxiu met Su He and planned to climb up the social ladder by relying on his father-in-law, the Minister of Rites. At that time, he really wanted to break up with Liu Qiuqiu and live a good life with Su He.

Who knew that Liu Qiuqiu was found to be pregnant at this time. She did not want to let the child affect Lu Yanxiu's marriage, so she secretly had an abortion in the other courtyard. It was Lu Yunqing who accidentally saw it and told Liu Shi about it.

In order to let Liu Qiuqiu sit still, Su He and Lu Yanxiu's marriage was postponed for half a year. But at that time, he didn't hear the rumors and didn't know that the wedding date was postponed because of Liu Qiuqiu's existence.

"Sister-in-law, what do you mean..."

Lu Yunqing recalled the whole story of Liu Qiuqiu, and her tearful eyes slightly brightened.

Although Liu Qiuqiu was a concubine, her brother doted on her so much that he even divorced his sister-in-law for her. So what about Li Qi? When he hugged her, he was so affectionate and sweet-talked. Would he be the same?

Su He said, "Yun Qing, I know you want to marry a rich man, and I hope your dream will come true. But the difference between Li Qi and the Lu family is huge, so if you want to become his wife, it's a bit shaky."

"But think about it, the status of Aunt Liu and your brother is also very different, didn't I help them?"

Su He looked at Lu Yun Qing quietly, observing the little hope in her eyes.

In her previous life, Su He thought she was the best sister-in-law. After learning that Chen didn't want to marry into the Lu family, she promptly dissuaded Lu Yun Qing from forcing her to marry in and being treated as inferior.

But now she doesn't want to do that.

Lu Yunqing's voice of repeatedly calling Liu Qiuqiu her sister-in-law seemed to echo in her ears. Did they call her that in private in the other courtyard? How many times did they call her that?

Since he liked that sister-in-law, why not take her as a role model?

"Is everything you said true?" Lu Yunqing's face flashed with hope.

Su He smiled lightly, "Of course."

Lu Yunqing thought of Zhao Liuyun's attitude. If Su He really did the same thing, maybe they, who were proud of their status, would not be willing to share a husband with other women. Otherwise, how could Liu Qiuqiu's entry into the mansion cause Su He to directly propose a divorce?

"Thank you for your advice, sister-in-law." She bowed with her head lowered, and her former arrogance disappeared without a trace. If she had known this would happen, she would not have argued with Su He at the funeral hall that day.

Su He responded with this thank you, turned around and left.

Where Lu Yunqing couldn't see, her expression gradually turned cold.

In her previous life, Lu Yunqing didn't have a real marriage with Li Qi in advance, so after breaking up with Li Qi because of her dissuasion, she could still rely on that face and honey-sprinkled mouth to marry another man.

Now it's not that easy.

A woman's innocence is like a wall of defense. How could Lu Yunqing, who is still unmarried, destroy her innocence?

Su He thought that it was because of her choice of divorce that the original reality had a subtle change. That's why Lu Yunqing listened to Li Qi and gave herself to him completely.

She had no better choice except Li Qi.

Under the maple forest, the path was covered with fiery red fallen leaves.

Zhao Wanrong finally waited for Su He to come, and then smiled when she saw that Lu Yunqing didn't follow.

"Ah He, you stand in the woods, I'll have someone draw a picture for you."

"Okay."

Su He tidied her appearance, turned sideways and stood under the maple tree. The wind blew, lifting her ink-splashed hair, and the picture was frozen on the drawing paper.

Lu Yunqing left before the autumn banquet was over.

She hurried back to Lu's mansion and asked the maid to secretly send a letter to General Xuande's mansion, hoping to see Li Qi soon.

Although she had a vague direction in her mind, Zhao Liuyun's existence still made her feel uncomfortable. She and Li Qi knew each other and fell in love first, so a young lady who appeared out of nowhere wanted to snatch him away. Isn't it too overbearing?

"Miss, the old lady and Aunt Liu seem to be at odds these past two days. This morning, they cried and quarreled in front of the young master, and they are still angry now."

Lu Yunqing carefully put the white jade hairpin with peony in her hair into the jewelry box. She only had these one or two treasures left. If she was not careful, everything would be gone.

After hearing the maid Chuntao's report, she hesitated and became curious: "Don't you like to listen to Yuxuan the most, grandma? Why did they quarrel?"

"I heard people in Weirui Pavilion say that the old lady suspected that there was something hidden about Aunt Liu's identity... After Aunt Liu learned the news, she had a big fight with the young master. She fainted on the spot due to anger and had a miscarriage. This scared the old lady so much that she dared not investigate further." There

was a lot of information in these words, but Lu Yunqing was absent-minded. She looked at the appearance in the bronze mirror and only thought about how to dress herself up so that Li Qi would feel pitiful.

Zhao Liuyun's pear blossom appearance seemed to appear in front of her. She was pretty and very attractive. I wonder how Li Qi felt about her?

Su's house.

Su He was a little tired after returning from the Autumn Banquet. He only ate a little dinner before going to bed.

Pei Xia told the news about the Lu Mansion that he had inquired about. When he mentioned Lu Yunqing, he paused and said, "She really went out at night. I guess she was having a private meeting with General Xuande."

"Let her go." Su He closed his eyes, put the quilt against his chin and prepared to fall asleep. However, there was a series of rapid knocks on the door outside the house.

Pei Xia was annoyed by the sound and hurried out to check. When he learned that the visitor was Qi Sheng, the second son of the Shangshu Ling family, he asked the servant to drive him away quickly and not let him in.

Now that they have parted ways, the friendship between the young lady and Qi Sheng, who were childhood sweethearts, must not be used by those with ulterior motives to make a fuss.

Housekeeper Yu ran in with embarrassment, "That young master refused to leave no matter what, and insisted on meeting the young lady!"

Pei Xia stood in the corridor and pondered for a while, then walked towards the gate.

She had never seen such a shameless person who did not stay at home in the middle of the night and came here to knock on the door with great fanfare?

Outside the gate,

Qi Sheng's hands were numb from knocking on the door, and finally he saw the door open a crack.

Pei Xia stood inside, her voice clear: "Young Master Qi, do you want my young lady to become the laughing stock of the capital tomorrow?"

"I don't! I just want to see Su He. I heard that she...is not having a good time in her husband's family. I just want to meet her and talk." Qi Sheng's handsome appearance seemed a little decadent, or depressed at this moment.

On the way here, he had a big fight with his wife, who he had just married for less than three months, just because he wanted to go out to see the person he had a crush on in the past.

Pei Xia sighed twice, thinking that this young master was really a little mentally ill, or else he would say that he had not experienced the hardships of the world and did not understand the fear of people's words.

Just knocking on this door tonight, there will definitely be rumors about him and Su He tomorrow.
