Chapter 51 I can protect her
Hearing that the Su family is on the side of the prince, they will never change their minds.
Baili Feng is jealous and arrogant, and will definitely take revenge.
"The emperor is still healthy at the moment. Even if the second prince has other intentions, he dare not do it openly. We just have to be on guard." Lu Huaihe comforted.
Su He came back to his senses and nodded with a pale face.
He was right. The second prince dared not retaliate openly, and everything could still be changed.
And Lu Zhili, in another month or two, should be famous.
The two houses are next to each other. Lu Huaihe personally sent Su He back. In fact, it was only a few steps away, and she could go back by herself.
Pei Xia stood at the door to meet them. When he saw Lu Huaihe, he smiled and whispered in Su He's ear, "Lord Lu is quite sympathetic to you, young lady."
Su He looked back and saw that he was staring at her. His eyes were a little flustered, so he turned away quickly.
Only after the door of the Su residence was tightly closed did Lu Huaihe restrain the tenderness in his eyes, return to the courtyard and summon Qingyun to him.
"Lu Zhili is involved with Baili Feng, and I suspect that the case of the girl in Zhaixing Wine House is also related to him. You should follow this matter carefully, and compile any details you find into a file."
As a prince, he is worshipped by the people, so it would be fine if he did not benefit the people.
If he really intervened, I am afraid that his title as a prince would be in jeopardy.
Qingyun agreed, and suddenly asked when he remembered Su He's strange look: "My lord, if the second prince really wants to wipe out the Su family, Miss Su is afraid..."
She divorced from the Lu Mansion, and she was still a member of the Su family.
If there really comes a day like that, she can't escape death.
Lu Huaihe's eyes were very dark, colder than the night, and his lips moved slightly: "I can protect her, and I can also protect the Su family."

Lu Mansion.
Today I bought some new satin to make new clothes for Lu Yunqing. The maid who was taking measurements was waiting in Weirui Pavilion. When she saw Lu Yunqing, she saw her thin arms and legs and smiled and said, "Miss Lu is small, so ordinary sizes will fit her."
Mrs. Liu's face was full of wrinkles and she couldn't smile. She just called Lu Yunqing to her side and said in a light tone, "What style of wedding dress do you want?"
The Li family had already given a betrothal gift to marry Lu Yunqing into the mansion.
Although she became Li Qi's co-wife as she wished, Mrs. Chen had made a request in advance, so there could not be a wedding ceremony, and the betrothal gift was only the tip of the iceberg of Zhao Liuyun.
The Lu family was naturally reluctant, but the family had no rich family background and no strong backing, so why should the Li family be afraid?
Lu Yanxiu couldn't even think of a way to prepare Lu Yunqing's dowry, so he had to ask Liu to piece together some. Liu Qiuqiu
was wary of Liu, fearing that she would secretly give Lu Yunqing the treasury, so she rushed to Weirui Pavilion early in the morning to guard. When she saw Lu Yunqing, her eyes fell on her flat belly, and she asked with a smile: "Yunqing, your belly doesn't look any different, why don't I think you're pregnant?"
Liu Qiuqiu is now in her eighth month of pregnancy, and she had given birth before. After taking a look at Lu Yunqing, she really doesn't look like a pregnant woman.
Because Nanny was here, Liu didn't like to talk about private family matters. She immediately looked at Liu Qiuqiu and changed the subject, saying, "Yunqing is your sister. She also came to take care of you when you were in the other courtyard. Now that she is destined to get married, as her sister-in-law, do you want to express something?"
Lu Yunqing nodded in agreement.
She knew everything about the other courtyard in the past. Her brother gave all the money to Liu Qiuqiu. She had some money left over every month after spending. After so many years, she should have a small private treasury, right?
Seeing that she was about to get married, as a new sister-in-law, could she still be stingy?
"Grandmother is right. I will prepare a gift for Yunqing, but you know how hard life is at home right now. Yi'erjiao has just hired a teacher, and a lot of money has to be spent every month. If I spend all my fortune on Yunqing as a gift, I'm afraid I won't be able to afford Yi'erjiao's expenses in the future..."
Liu Qiuqiu is the best at pretending to be pitiful. As long as the lovely great-grandson is mentioned, Liu has no reason not to agree.
But today, I don't know what happened to her. She refused to agree no matter what, and insisted that Liu Qiuqiu give something to make up for the dowry.
Liu Qiuqiu went back and listened to Yuxuan's search for a long time before handing over a set of expensive headdresses.
Mingchun looked at the gold-embroidered headdress distressedly, "Madam Liu, this set must have cost several dozen taels of silver!"
Isn't it too generous to just give it to Lu Yunqing so casually?
Liu Qiuqiu snorted coldly.
How could she not know?
You can't get a tiger cub without risking your life?
Liu secretly hid the goods and deliberately didn't give them to her. She always had to squeeze out some living expenses every day, not to mention how shabby it was.
Liu Qiuqiu thought, she had obeyed Liu's orders so much, so she shouldn't be on guard against her like this, right?
But when she thought of Lu Yunqing's flat pregnant belly, she felt a little disgusting.
Ten days later, General Xuande got married.
Zhao Liuyun and Lu Yunqing entered the Li Mansion at the same time, but the latter did not have the ceremony of husband and wife, nor did she kowtow to heaven and earth in the ancestral hall to meet Li Qi's parents.
Even so, Lu Yunqing's heart was still sweet.
She wore a bright wedding dress, sat in the wedding room covered with wedding characters, and under the red veil, imagined the
majestic scene in the Li Mansion in the future. Lu Yunqing knew in her heart that her elder brother and second brother were embarrassed because of her pregnancy before marriage, but they didn't know that it was all fake, and it was all a trick she played to marry Li Qi.
And a dignified general of Xuande couldn't just touch another family's virgin girl and walk away, right?
The front hall was decorated with lights and was very noisy.
Lu Yunqing sat alone on the bed, hooking her fingers, not knowing how long she had to wait.
If she heard that Li Qi went to Zhao Liuyun's room, she could ask him to come over for any reason. Tonight was their wedding night. Since she was Li Qi's co-wife, how could they sleep on a separate bed?
There were small footsteps in her ears.
Lu Yunqing thought it was Li Qi coming, so she quickly adjusted her sitting posture and straightened her body, waiting for him to lift the red veil.
"General Li is entertaining guests in the front hall, and he won't be able to come over for a while."
The familiar voice made Lu Yunqing unable to sit still. She quickly lifted the veil and looked at the person who came. She asked in confusion: "Sister-in-law...shouldn't you be at the banquet in the front hall? Why are you here?"
Su He smiled and stared at her. He walked up to her and touched her delicate and beautiful bun and said slowly: "The bride is so beautiful."
Lu Yunqing's face flashed a trace of shyness. She pushed her out and looked outside from time to time: "Sister-in-law, you should go back to the banquet first. If Li Qi comes later, don't let him miss the auspicious time to lift the veil."
"Really?" The two short words were cold and clear.
Lu Yunqing realized at this time that there was not a single maid or nanny serving in the huge wedding room. This was totally unreasonable!
