Chapter 49 So what if we settle the score later?

Su He only felt her cheeks warm and her heart pounding. Her mind went blank when she spoke, as if she had no idea what she was doing.

Although the smell of alcohol was strong, it didn't make her completely lose her mind.

From the moment Lu Huaihe picked her up by the waist, she remembered all the details of his actions clearly. She also called him uncle on purpose.

When she saw Lu Huaihe's slightly unhappy eyes, Su He actually found it a bit interesting.

The bed curtains were thin and couldn't block anything.

Her expression was completely exposed in front of Lu Huaihe.

Su He was silent for a moment, then she stretched out her hand, snuggled into the quilt and said in a muffled voice: "You should go back."

Lu Huaihe looked at her straight, and suddenly smiled: "I'll stay here with you, take a rest." It was

a chilly autumn night, and he might catch a cold if he stayed outside like this.

After Pei Xia brought him the sobering soup, she also prepared some thick clothes for him. Lu Huaihe did not refuse. He blew out the candles outside and sat quietly on the round wooden chair.

He sat there all night.

The next day, the first thing Su He did when she woke up was to look outside. When she found that there was no one, her eyes were a little dim.

Last night she deliberately made an unreasonable request, thinking that he would refuse, but she didn't expect that he really stayed all night.

Lu Yanxiu would never do this.

The door was pushed open, Pei Xia brought water to help her wash up, and when she mentioned Lu Huaihe, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Lord Lu went to the most popular Chen's Congee Shop to buy breakfast, and also told me to make sure that the young lady finished eating. I thought he was unreliable before, but I didn't expect him to be so considerate."

Su He sat in front of the bronze mirror, stroked the ink in his hand and asked: "When did he leave?"

"He left at dawn and went directly to the Dali Temple."

The Dali Temple is in charge of judicial trials in Beijing. Lu Huaihe is rarely free due to the busy official duties.

Su He thought of what happened last night, and the hand holding the wooden comb tightened slightly, and a strange feeling surged in his heart.

"Miss, hurry up and wash up, you have to meet with the eldest young lady and the fourth young lady Zhao today." Pei Xia reminded.

Su He came back to her senses.

Zhao Liuyun's wedding date is approaching, but she spread rumors about Lu Yunqing, which made her feel unlucky. She also heard that Su He was Lu Yunqing's sister-in-law, so she wanted to make an appointment to find out more details.

Zhao Mansion, Liuguang Courtyard.

Zhao Liuyun was not wearing any makeup, only a plain dress, and her mood was not very beautiful.

When she saw Zhao Wanrong and Su He, she couldn't help asking about Lu Yunqing.

Zhao Wanrong said, "Don't worry, fourth sister. As long as the position of the main wife is yours, she can do whatever else she wants."

Zhao Liuyun had a lost look in his eyes and said in a sad tone, "I'm just a little disappointed. I thought Li Qi was different from other men, but I didn't expect... I haven't even gotten married yet, and Lu Yunqing wants to be my co-wife. It's really a bit bullying."

She raised her eyes and looked at Su He and said, "Sister Su, you have lived in the same house with Lu Yunqing for a few years. What is her character like?"

Su He's mind quickly flashed through Lu Yunqing's arrogant and domineering look, but she had to make the words sound smoother, so she said in a soft voice, "Yunqing is still young and not sensible enough."

"In that case, I will not agree to her entering the Li family. Otherwise, the marriage between Li Qi and me is cancelled!"

The daughters of the Zhao family never have trouble finding a husband, so naturally they would not be interested in the newly-minted general of Xuande. But Zhao Liuyun was still holding back her anger, thinking that Lu Yunqing was deliberately jumping around in front of her.

Su He looked at her determined expression and thought for a while before asking, "Does the fourth sister not want to be with General Xuande?"

Zhao Liuyun did not answer.

Since the two families revealed the news of the marriage, Li Qi had met her several times. She was young, and after a few visits, she had already taken a fancy to Li Qi and was particularly satisfied with this marriage.

But Lu Yunqing showed up halfway...

She was still a little unwilling.

"Yun Qing is pregnant now, so you can't make a big deal about it, or you'll be known as jealous. She's pregnant with Li's child anyway, and as General Xuande's legal wife, you should raise his offspring. As for Yun Qing..." Su He covered her mouth and smiled, her eyes slightly shining: "Even if she enters the mansion as a concubine, isn't it your decision?"

Who dares to say that Li Qi will love Lu Yun Qing all his life?

After a while, when the relationship fades, Zhao Liuyun, who has the support of the Secretary's family, can deal with Lu Yun Qing with just a flick of his finger.

It's not a bad idea to settle the score later.

"If the fourth sister is free, she can personally send a royal doctor to check Yunqing's pulse. We can't be careless with the children of the Li family." Su He finished speaking, picked up the teacup and took a sip, the slight taste of the tea slowly lingering between her lips.

After leaving the Zhao Mansion, Su He felt that Zhao Wanrong seemed to have something to say, and kept staring at her secretly.

When the two parted ways, she called Su He and said hesitantly: "Ah He, I always feel that you... have changed a little."

If it were the old Su He, he would definitely not say those words in front of the fourth sister.

Zhao Wanrong noticed that Su He had undergone subtle changes since the divorce.

"If I really change, sister-in-law won't love me anymore?"

"How could that be?"

Su He smiled gently: "That's it. In the three years since I married Lu Yanxiu, I suddenly understood a lot of things. Sister-in-law just thinks I'm still a child who has grown up a little."

Zhao Wanrong saw that she was still as beautiful as before when she smiled, and she really thought she was still a child.

Yes, what's wrong with just thinking she has grown up a little? The news that Lu Yunqing was pregnant made Liu embarrassed, and

Lu

Yanxiu also felt humiliated, so he banned her from traveling and forbade her to meet Li Qi again.

Su He also sent someone to inquire that Lu Yanxiu might have signs of being promoted.

She knew that it was Lu Zhili's idea.

To entangle officials and win people's hearts.

It seems that the three brothers and sisters of the Lu family have their own calculations.

Su He sent someone to pick up Lu Yunqing from the back door

of the Lu residence. The two met at a nearby restaurant.

"Sister-in-law, is there any news from the Li family now?" Lu Yunqing seemed very anxious.

She has lost contact with Li Qi now, and has no idea what they are thinking.

Fortunately, Su He smiled reassuringly: "Fourth sister Zhao has agreed to let you enter the Li Mansion."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Lu Yunqing was happy, but then she felt that there was nothing to be happy about. She was pregnant with the child of the Li family, and Chen had to be polite to her now. What if it was a legitimate son?

Su He smiled gently, hiding the disgust in his eyes and said: "When Madam Zhang passed away, you were the ones she was most worried about. Now I can see with my own eyes that you have married a good man. It is really a happy thing. I just don't know how your second brother is doing in the Imperial College? Has he made progress in his studies? I really hope he can pass the imperial examination next year."

Lu Yunqing listened carefully, showing rare patience.

"If sister-in-law wants to see my second brother, I'll just pass the message."

Lu Yunqing agreed with a smile. It's not a big deal to just talk nonsense.

But in her heart, she secretly despised Su He for being silly. Why did she mention her mother when she had passed away? What's the point of saying she missed her?

Fortunately, she didn't live to be a burden, otherwise Lu Yunqing really couldn't hold her head up in front of outsiders.
