Chapter 38 Encountering a secret meeting

Poor young lady, she just wanted to have a good sleep, but was disturbed for no reason.

"Okay Pei Xia, just open the door, I'll go in and see her..."

Pei Xia stopped him again, her tone even colder: "Young Master Qi, please stop. If you force your way into the house, I'll report you to the police!"

Qi Sheng leaned against the door of the house, seemingly paralyzed on the ground, with a look of regret like a beggar who couldn't get food.

"If I had married a wife later..."

Before he finished speaking, the clothes on his shoulders were lifted up, and Qi Sheng looked up in a daze, and saw a man's face.

After seeing the identity of the visitor, he trembled, got up from the ground neatly, stood aside, and called out in a weak voice: "Lu... Lord Lu."

Lu Huaihe smelled a scent of alcohol in his nose, and looked at Qi Sheng carefully. The dim light of the lantern fell from above and fell on his cold face, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

"Young Master Qi, aren't you at home to accompany your beloved wife?"

"I... I want to see an old friend."

Lu Huaihe knew that Qi Sheng had grown up with Su He, and they had to follow each other in school and stand guard in the toilet.

The two were childhood sweethearts and old acquaintances in Beijing. But after Su He got married, they had no contact.

Now Qi Sheng takes the initiative to get in touch with Su He. Isn't it hard to see what he is thinking?

But things are different now.

Lu Huaihe called Qingyun to him and said, "Send Young Master Qi back home."

"No! I want to see Su He!" Qi Sheng jumped up stubbornly and grabbed the door handle, refusing to leave.

Lu Huaihe said, "Tie him up with a rope and arrange for someone to send him back."

Qingyun agreed and really took out a long rope. Qi Sheng was a little afraid of Lu Huaihe. Not to mention his official title, he couldn't afford to offend the eldest princess's son.

Because he was still drunk, Qi Sheng pouted like a child, stared at Qingyun pitifully and said, "Don't tie it too tightly..."

After sending the people away, the front of the Su residence finally became quiet. Pei Xia pushed the door open and thanked Lu Huaihe.

Lu Huaihe glanced at the silent candlelight in the house and said lightly, "Go back and rest."

"Yes."

After the door was closed, Lu Huaihe looked up at the plaque of the Su residence, recognized the handwriting of Su He, and curled his lips slightly.

Qingyun saw that he could be lost in thought even when staring at a plaque, and said silently, "I didn't see you get up to stop the fight next door in the middle of the night before. Master Qi just knocked on the door a few times, and you were disturbed..."

The night was getting deeper.

Qi Sheng was sent back to the mansion drunk. Madam Duan stamped her feet in anger at his useless appearance. The nanny beside him also felt ashamed when she saw the young master's appearance. How could she wait for the divorce to happen and then go in?

"Madam, how about I give you an idea?"

"Tell me quickly."

"As long as Su He doesn't marry again, the young master will have hope. Why don't you be the matchmaker and pick out the right person in the capital to find a marriage for Su He?"

Madam Duan knew what kind of person Su He was. She was afraid that he would not listen to her arrangements obediently.

The nanny blinked her eyes: "Su He is a woman after all. If she doesn't get married in her life, who will she rely on? She can't always be supported by the Su family, right? In my opinion, she has not met a man who loves her, otherwise she would have married willingly long ago."

Madam Duan thought about it and felt that this was true.

If Su He doesn't listen to advice, she can go to the Su family to talk to her.

In short, Sheng'er must give up the idea as soon as possible. She is still waiting to hold her grandson!

In the early morning, Su He sat at the desk and looked at the account book.

There were four shops in her dowry, namely a cloth shop, a guest inn and two restaurants. All the income in the Lu Mansion was used for public purposes before, and later Liu also placed some of her own people to work there.

Now that the relationship was severed, she had to take back the ownership of the shop as soon as possible.

After a quick glance at the account book, except for the cloth shop, the inn and the wine shop were almost all running at a loss, with no surplus.

Su He found it strange. There were always people coming and going in the capital, and for a shop, the profit should be at least a hundred taels a day, so how could it be running at a loss?

"Miss, is there a problem with the account book?"

"Before, I was busy with the trivial matters of the Lu Mansion and seldom paid attention to the shop. Today, I saw that there was a problem with the account book a long time ago. I am afraid that the people below don't take me seriously at all."

Pei Xia frowned: "What should we do? Those shops were obtained for you by Madam from the family with great effort. Therefore, the two concubines are particularly dissatisfied. Now Su Yun and Su Lian are also clamoring for the same dowry as you. If the shop is not managed properly, I am afraid that the master..."

When Su He mentioned Su Yun and Su Lian, her brows were cold. She put away the account book and asked Pei Xia to take it. She was going to take a look in the shop today.

Zhaixing Restaurant was the shop with the biggest loss, and Su He was the first to come here.

It was almost noon, and there were not many people in the restaurant, and there were empty tables everywhere.

Seeing someone coming in, the waiter who was lying lazily beside the wine cabinet came over with a smile and asked: "What would you two like to eat?"

Su He said: "Signature dishes, one for each."

The waiter looked the two up and down, and smiled: "Okay, please come in. Have some tea first, and the signature dishes will be here soon!"

Su He looked at the interior of the restaurant, and his eyes turned, and his sight fell on the stained glass window on the second floor. Pei Xia followed his gaze, rubbed his eyes and was slightly surprised: "Isn't that..." The person

sitting next to her was Lu Yunqing, she would not come to the restaurant to eat for no reason, so the person opposite must be Li Qi.

Su He gave Pei Xia a look, and she immediately went closer to check. It was indeed Lu Yunqing and Li Qi!

"Miss Lu was crying, and Master Li kept comforting her. As for what she said, I didn't hear it because I was too far away."

Pei Xia was afraid of being discovered, so she didn't dare to get too close, but she still saw Lu Yunqing's face clearly. It was indeed her, there was no fake.

After the autumn banquet, Lu Yunqing was afraid of losing Li Qi, and she already had a sense of crisis in her heart, so she hurried to meet Li Qi to get a reassurance.

Su He didn't expect Yu'er to come to her on her own initiative.

She asked Pei Xia to come over and whispered a few words to her. Pei Xia agreed and left the restaurant.

Sitting on the seat by the carved window on the second floor.

Lu Yunqing wiped her tears with her hand, bit her lip and looked at Li Qi, her eyes full of friendship: "I know that my aunt looks down on our Lu family because we are a small family, but the family foundation is not something I can help. As a woman, who doesn't want to be an enviable noblewoman in Beijing? I can only blame myself for being born in the wrong family and not finding a good family..."

After she finished speaking, she squeezed out two tears that fell on the edge of the table, making Li Qi anxious, and he patted her shoulders in a panic to comfort her.

"My family has arranged a marriage for me. I have indeed met Miss Zhao, but she is not even one ten-thousandth as good as you. Yunqing, don't let your imagination run wild. I will definitely give you a legitimate status!"
