Chapter 48 Taking advantage of the alcohol

Equal wife?

If that's true, it's really a joke.

What is Lu Yunqing's status, what is Zhao Liuyun's status?

Because of this, Li Qi and Zhao Liuyun's wedding date was postponed, which made Chen very unhappy.

Su He guessed that those rumors were spread by Lu Yunqing, who wanted to create momentum by talking and make himself appear to be the weak party.

Haha, he's really not stupid.

"Sister-in-law, Yunqing is too young to know the hierarchy. When she enters the mansion, it won't be too late for the fourth sister Zhao to teach her well."

Zhao Wanrong frowned: "Lu Yunqing wants to be a co-wife, this is impossible!"

Su He pursed her lips and smiled, looking at her: "She is pregnant, even if she is promoted to a co-wife, it is understandable. After all, she is Li Qi's flesh and blood, Chen can't be completely heartless. It's just that poor fourth sister Zhao has to bear a little grievance first, and when she enters the mansion and quells the rumors, everything can be discussed."

Zhao Liuyun is a legitimate wife. If she is not at odds with Li Qi's flesh and blood before she gets married, it will be too petty in the eyes of outsiders.

The world is strict with women, and if you don't pay attention, you will become a topic of gossip.

Zhao Wanrong did not answer. In her heart, her sister's happiness was the most important, but she had to bow to the reality.

But Ah He was right. Even if she was promoted to a co-wife on the surface, what would happen? After all, she was brought into the mansion. It would be impossible for Lu Yunqing to have the final say. It was still uncertain how the situation would be by then.

Besides, Li Qi was a military general. He would go to the battlefield after the beginning of spring next year. Swords have no eyes. The Li family would cherish their offspring especially. If Zhao Liuyun was too ruthless to Lu Yunqing before the marriage, the world would be prejudiced against her.

Lu Yunqing really made the right move.

It was late at night. When Su He was about to leave, he saw Su Jun smiling and bringing a bowl of osmanthus wine.

"Aunt, this wine was made by my grandmother. I've already drunk two small cups. How about you try it?"

Su He rubbed Su Jun's rosy little face and smiled gently: "Since it's your request, there's no reason for aunt not to drink it?"

She took the wine bowl and drank it slowly. She could only feel the strong and numbing smell of wine between her lips, which didn't taste like osmanthus.

Wang ran to the courtyard in a hurry. When she saw that Su He had drunk the wine clean, she looked at Su Jun's rosy face and his eyes were a little dazed. She was very anxious: "Oh my little ancestor! This is not osmanthus wine, this is Tusu wine!"

The osmanthus wine brewed at home is rich, but the taste is light. The female family members can drink it by themselves without getting drunk.

This Tusu wine was used by Su Ronghai to entertain guests. It had a clear aroma, was soft and refreshing, and tasted pure and crisp, but it was very easy to get drunk.

I don't know who had misplaced the wine jar, making Su Jun think it was osmanthus wine.

Not long after drinking it, Su He felt a little hot in her head. Wang took the soft and fluffy Su Jun away, and sent someone to clean up Su He's yard so that she could rest tonight.

Su He's eyes were a little hazy, but fortunately she was still conscious and insisted on going back to Su's house. Wang added a few more servants to accompany her back.

Sitting in the carriage back to Su's house, Su He lay softly on the seat, already a little drunk.

Pei Xia touched her slightly hot cheeks and asked the driver to speed up.

When they arrived at Cuiliu Lane, they found some officials standing at the intersection, as if they were checking something.

Pei Xia was sitting outside the carriage and saw Lu Huaihe in the crowd and asked, "What are you checking so late at night, Lord Lu?"

"I heard that a few lechers appeared in Cuiliu Lane, and they specifically targeted single women. Tonight is Mid-Autumn Festival, and everyone in the government office has returned home to reunite. I have nothing to do, so I came to check."

Lu Huaihe was wearing casual clothes, and he must have been called in temporarily to do the job.

"Where is your young lady?"

Pei Xia said, "She's inside, we're just about to go back."

Lu Huaihe's eyes fell on the curtain, which was tightly covered, and he did not see Su He's figure.

Tonight, when the family was happy, she must have reunited with her family.

There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air, as if it was coming from Pei Xia. Lu Huaihe frowned and asked, "Did you drink?"

Pei Xia smiled and said, "My young lady was very generous tonight and drank a full bowl of wine."

She had just been guarding the young lady in the carriage, so she must have been tainted by the smell.

Qingyun, who was busy with his work, saw Lu Huaihe's hesitation. How could a subordinate of many years not understand his thoughts? He immediately said, "Sir, I will guard and investigate here. You can escort Miss Su back first."

Lu Huaihe said, "Okay."

Pei Xia looked at the seven or eight servants following the carriage. They were all burly. Wouldn't Sir Lu feel uneasy with them escorting him?

On the night of the full moon, the light was sprinkled on the floor, and the shadows were close together.

Lu Huaihe rode a black horse, and he would always look back at the carriage every few steps.

Pei Xia, who was in the carriage, lifted the curtain and took a look. She couldn't help thinking that although Lord Lu might be ill, after several encounters, he was still a very good person! They

arrived at Su's house.

Pei Xia woke Su He up, and she rubbed her dizzy head and got off the carriage in a daze.

Seeing that her steps were unsteady and she was a little confused, Lu Huaihe was afraid that Pei Xia would not have enough strength to throw her. So he pulled the reins, turned over and got off the horse, grabbed Su He's slender waist, and carried her into the house.

Pei Xia felt his hands loosen, and the young lady was carried away lightly.

She turned her head to look at the coachman and the servant, and warned in a low voice: "Just pretend you didn't see it tonight, otherwise if I hear rumors, I will strip your tongues and feed them to the dogs!" "

Yes."

Inside the house.

The faint moonlight sprinkled on Su He's rosy cheeks. She nestled in Lu Huaihe's arms, blinked with sleepy eyes, and moved her red lips slightly: "Uncle?"

These two words made Lu Huaihe look unhappy. He pinched her waist with his palm, wanting her to call his name when she was awake.

In the past, when he was in Lu's house, Lu Huaihe knew that Su He was already a married woman, and he would never meet her as long as he could avoid it.

There were only one or two occasions when he could not avoid it. He clearly heard Su He following Lu Yanxiu and calling her husband in a soft voice.

The word "simple" made Lu Huaihe feel sad.

If he had proposed to her first...

Su He in his arms rubbed against him, her fingers carefully grasping the clothes on his chest, like a restless little cat.

When Pei Xia came all the way, he saw Lu Huaihe quietly guarding in front of the bed. Through a thin bed curtain, Su He's cheeks were full of rosy clouds, and she was as tender as water.

"Lord Lu..."

"Remember to let her drink a bowl of sobering soup later, so that she won't feel too uncomfortable when she wakes up tomorrow morning." He said.

Pei Xia agreed and immediately sent someone to make arrangements.

Lu Huaihe stared at Su He, and after a moment, he said: "Take good care of your young lady, I'm leaving."

As soon as the last word fell, his hand was pulled by a warm force.

Looking down, Su He was lying on the bed, with rosy eyes. She held his hand through the bed curtains, her voice soft and tender.

"I feel at ease if you stay."

Lu Huaihe's heart moved, and the ink in his eyes surged.
