Chapter 44 Others have rules, but you don’t

Recalling that the two of them had played together, from childhood playmates to schoolmates. Everyone in the capital knew that they were childhood sweethearts, and Qi Sheng also yearned for that childhood sweetheart love in his heart.

Unexpectedly, she married Lu Yanxiu in a blink of an eye and became a lady in a deep palace.

Qi Sheng regretted it.

Su He did not stop because of that call, and even left more decisively.

Qi Sheng was anxious and wanted to chase after her.

Zhao Wanrong suddenly appeared and stopped him.

"Young Master Qi, why don't you sit down and drink some tea?"

She spoke with a friendly smile on her lips, looking kind.

Qi Sheng begged, "I came here today to tell Ah He..."

"Don't say high-sounding words. Young Master Qi, you have a happy family, so don't interfere. Our Ah He has been spoiled since she was young, and has been wronged for several years in the Lu Mansion for no reason. From now on, any marriage will have to go through serious discussions at home. For example, what about a co-wife or a concubine? Not to mention Ah He, even I, your sister-in-law, don't agree."

Zhao Wanrong said this with a hint of meaning. Although she was smiling throughout, Qi Sheng felt empty in his heart and couldn't speak.

He came here today, after all, with some selfish thoughts.

If Qi Sheng hadn't bribed the nanny in his mother's courtyard, he wouldn't have known that she had collected portraits and was determined to find a marriage for Su He.

Since other men in the capital can marry her, why can't he?

Qi Sheng knew that being a concubine had wronged Su He, so he promoted her to a co-wife!

But before he could even say it, Zhao Wanrong had already seen through his thoughts. Being said out in the open, Qi Sheng felt that Su He was getting further and further away from him, and he was afraid that they would never meet again in the future.

"Young Master Qi, go back." Zhao Wanrong said.

Madam Duan said goodbye to Wang, walked a few steps to Qi Sheng, and glared at him unhappily: "Come back with me!"

Qi Sheng didn't answer sullenly, but Madam Duan didn't care that they were outside, she grabbed his ear and said with gritted teeth: "Go back and accompany my daughter-in-law well, otherwise I will ban you!"

"Be gentle..."

After Su He left the Su Mansion in a carriage, he drove forward all the way, not knowing how long he had been driving and where he had gone.

When she finally couldn't sit still anymore, she asked the driver to stop, lifted the curtain with her bare hands, and saw the familiar scene in front of her, which made her pupils sway slightly.

"Moat... Why are you at the moat?"

Pei Xia blamed the driver in a low voice.

He just mentioned the young lady falling into the water at home, and now he is here again. Isn't this sad for the young lady?

Su He said, "Nothing, I just want to relax here."

At this time, the dusk was blue, and the lights were lit.

It was the annual festival of lanterns again.

The surface of the moat reflected the beautiful light like flowing clouds. Girls walked by the shore in groups, with light veils floating, beautiful and moving.

Su He walked down the steps holding up the hem of her skirt, and came to the fence on the shore to look at the water.

The blue sky and the water are one.

Su He remembered that every year during the Lantern Festival after they got married, Lu Yanxiu would use the excuse of being busy with official business to deal with emergencies. At this time, Lu Yunqing would come forward with concern to play the role of a caring sister-

in-law. Now think about it, she was just monitoring him.

Otherwise, how would Lu Yanxiu explain to Su He if he discovered Liu Qiuqiu's existence in advance?

A couple walked by hand in hand, and their warm and friendly smiles hurt Su He a little. She looked at them enviously for a while, and walked along the shore for a long time, until her legs and feet were numb, and then she leaned against the stone steps to rest for a while .

In her mind, she couldn't help but recall Mrs. Duan's murmur: "Wrong, wrong!"

Su He's eyes were a little sour.

Isn't it wrong?

She thought Lu Yanxiu was her savior, so she regarded his pursuit as a treasure.

Now it seems so ridiculous.

"The lanterns tonight are too plain, not one-tenth of the past."

A cold voice suddenly came from her ear, floating into Su He's ears.

Her heart skipped a beat.

Looking back, she saw a face as clear and elegant as jade.

Lu Huaihe was wearing a snow-white dress, black hair, and a jade belt around his waist.

The pair of dark eyes were staring at Su He motionlessly.

"Lord Lu..."

Lu Huaihe bent slightly, stretched his hand in front of her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a leisurely tone: "You can call me by my name."

Su He looked at the palm in front of her and hesitated for a moment, then covered it. Her palm was wrapped by him and pulled slightly, and her body was lifted up lightly.

Her cheeks were as red as smoke, and she lowered her head and dared not respond.

He was a dignified young man from a noble family, the calm and composed Dali Temple Chief Justice, and the only child of the eldest princess.

Even his father and mother had to address him as Lord when they saw him, so how could she be presumptuous and call him by his name?

Su He thought for a long time before saying, "Lord Lu is a descendant of the royal family. Su He is just an ordinary woman. I dare not call her by her name. I'd better call her according to the rules."

The four words "ordinary woman" made Lu Huaihe's eyes a little distressed.

He knew that after Su He and Lu Yanxiu divorced, a wave of ridicule suddenly swept through the capital. People laughed at Su He for not having a child in three years, but his concubine had two pregnancies in three years.

Although he had warned and punished the rumormongers at the first time, those words still pierced into his heart like thorns.

Lu Huaihe didn't even dare to think about what Su He felt when she learned that Lu Yanxiu had a pair of children in the other courtyard. She was so gentle, but she was forced to divorce.

Thinking of this, his eyes ached, his Adam's apple rolled slightly, and he raised his eyes slightly and said, "It's a rule for others, but not for you."

Su He was stunned, and then his face flushed. He turned sideways, but his fingers secretly entangled very tightly.

Pei Xia, who was not far away, saw that the lady's expression was a little wrong. When he was about to step forward to ask, his wrist was pulled by someone. He turned around and saw that it was Qingyun.

"Why are you stopping me?"

Qingyun sighed, thinking she didn't understand romance, "My young master didn't bully your young lady, what are you going to do?"

"But..."

"Don't say buts, just stay here with me."

The cool breeze from the shore blew over.

Su He's thin figure swayed a little, and Lu Huaihe asked Qingyun to get a snow-white cloak. Su He looked at him secretly. He was always in official uniform or fancy dress. Tonight he wore a white suit, which made him look even more noble and flawless.

"I heard that your family is arranging a marriage for you."

Lu Huaihe said.

Su He's eyelashes fluttered and she nodded.

She didn't pay any attention to her mother and Madam Duan's discussion of marriage today, and she didn't care who was in the portrait.

She had just escaped from the wolf's den and hadn't even avenged herself yet, so how could she possibly put herself in it again?

Su He thought that she might have countless candidates for marriage proposals.

But she would never have a lover of her dreams again.

"Do you have a candidate of your dreams?" His voice was clear and mellow, and inexplicably tender.

Su He shook her head with a vague expression.

The next second, the back of her hand gently covered Lu Huaihe's palm.

His eyes were firm, with some unquestionable strength, and he gently pursed his lips and said, "What about me, can I be your candidate for marriage proposal?"
