Chapter 54: Undecided

If that was the case, he would add the charge of being unethical to the charge of being jealous!

No one else knew what Lu Yanxiu was thinking, but Su He guessed a little from the contemptuous look he gave her.

It was not uncommon for a dirty person to have dirty thoughts.

Lu Huaihe leaned back on the chair, his eyes fell on Su He, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled slightly: "I want to find an aunt for you."

"Aunt?" Lu Yanxiu was overjoyed. Everyone in the capital knew that his uncle had never had a relative in law, and others had tried to match him up with many people, but none of them ended up together. Today, he asked to get married, and it seemed that the woman was really an exception.

"Which lady does my uncle want to marry?"

"The Su family."

Lu Yanxiu knew that the Su family still had two young ladies waiting to be married, namely Su Yun and Su Lian. They were both good-looking, but their family backgrounds were a bit poor. They were born to Su Ronghai's aunt.

He felt that it was inappropriate: "Su Yun and Su Lian are both concubines' daughters. If my uncle really wants to marry, he should think about it calmly... The eldest princess will not allow concubines to be daughters-in-law!"

Lu Huaihe suddenly smiled: "You think it through very well."

"Of course, my uncle, as the elder of the Lu family, you must be cautious in choosing aunts." Su Ronghai's two daughters are still young. If Lu Yanxiu really wants to call them aunts, how can he say it?

"You're right, we have to be careful in choosing the right person." Lu Huaihe kept looking at Su He, his eyes as bright as stars.

Lu Yanxiu suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.

After leaving Su's house, he secretly asked the servant at the door and learned that Su He had been very close to Lu Huaihe recently, which made him more certain of his guess.

He said he wanted to get married, maybe...

In Weirui Pavilion, Liu had just woken up from a nap.

She had just had her birthday, and for some reason she caught a cold. It wasn't even the severely cold weather yet, but her old bones couldn't stand it.

Hearing that Lu Yanxiu insisted on seeing her, she had to prop herself up again.

"Are you saying that Lu Huaihe is going to get married? And it could be Su He?" Liu squinted her eyes and pondered, feeling like she had heard a joke. "There are so many young and beautiful women in the capital, why would Lu Huaihe choose a divorced woman? Yanxiu, did you hear it wrong?"

"Even the servants in Su's house said that the two of them were very close. Even if there is no possibility of marriage, their relationship is definitely not ordinary."

Isn't it proof that Lu Huaihe can come and go freely in Su's house?

But Lu Yanxiu didn't understand why it was Su He?

"Lu Huaihe has high standards and will never be with Su He. Besides, there is the princess. Can she allow Lu Huaihe to have no offspring?"

Hearing what Liu said, Lu Yanxiu's heart settled.

She was right. Su He had been unable to give birth to a child for three years. Could the princess allow Lu Huaihe to have no offspring?

"How many months has Qiuqiu been pregnant?" Liu suddenly asked.

Lu Yanxiu replied, "It will be time to give birth after the New Year."

Liu nodded, "Let her take good care of herself."

"Sun'er knows."

This year's cold winter came earlier. It snowed before the end of the year.

Su He sat around the kotatsu and made tea. Her delicate fingers touched the warm teacup and pushed it a few inches closer to the table. Lu Huaihe was wearing a fox fur coat and reading a book. She took the tea and savored it carefully.

"The exam is coming soon." She said softly.

"Every year when the Spring Examination is approaching, the capital is full of students. Some of them are generous and will order the most expensive dishes in Jinque Tower to cheer for the exam. Some of them are short of money and will sit in the liquor shop at the end of Cuiliu Lane for an afternoon, silently counting the hours for the arrival of the exam."

When Lu Huaihe looked up and saw the drifting goose feather snow, she seemed to have some feelings.

Su He stared at the frozen lake in a daze, and suddenly asked: "Will the chief examiner this year be my father again?"

"There are two chief examiners, one is your father, and the other is the current Crown Prince."

The chief examiner in previous years was Su Ronghai, which gave Lu Zhili an opportunity.

Su He was waiting for the next exam, and she couldn't wait to know what Lu Zhili would do.

Lu Huaihe observed her expression and asked casually: "Are you worried about something?"

"I'm not." She denied it, pinched the teacup between her white fingers, and lowered her head slightly.

Lu Huaihe chuckled. He interrogated so many prisoners every day, how could he not see Su He's thoughts?

She always paid attention to the Lu family, and was particularly concerned about the actions of the two Lu brothers. If she said she had no thoughts, Lu Huaihe would not believe it.

"Lu Zhili is also on the list of candidates for this exam. He is knowledgeable and talented, and is a leader in the Imperial College. He will surely get the top three results."

In the Imperial College, Lu Zhili's family background is average, but he can use his knowledge to kill a way out, and he is also a talented person.

Su He smiled distantly: "Things are not set in stone, who can tell?"

Because Lu Zhili is about to participate in the Spring Examination, the Liu family believes in Buddhism and Taoism, and everyone in the mansion is particularly cautious, and no unlucky words can be mentioned.

On the day of packing his bag to enter the examination room, Lu Yanxiu stopped Lu Zhili, his eyes fell on the purse with familiar stitches, and hesitantly asked, "Are you going to bring this into the examination room?"

Lu Zhili opened the purse and took out the signature paper inside and handed it to him, his eyes deep: "Brother, don't worry that Su He has plotted against me. I checked it and there is nothing else in it except a signature paper."

"Take it down. Su He is a thoughtful person, it's always good to be more careful." Lu Yanxiu thought of Su He's eyes staring at him, and always felt that there was an inexplicable hatred.

Although Lu Zhili had his own plan, there were so many examiners monitoring in the examination room, and the prince was there, so he should not cause any more trouble.

Lu Zhili was silent for a few seconds and said hello.

When he got on the carriage and was about to leave, Liu came out of the house with a limp and asked Mrs. Yang to give Lu Zhili a set of clean clothes.

"You will be away from home for nine days. It will be windy and dewy at night. Remember to put on more clothes."

Lu Zhili nodded after listening to Liu's instructions and accepted the clothes expressionlessly. He usually stayed in the Imperial College, and leaving home was a common thing. At this time, he looked at Liu with great reluctance and had no emotion.

When he touched the fabric of the clothes, Lu Zhili felt that it was delicate and comfortable, unlike the things in the mansion, so he couldn't help but stroke it a few more times.

"Grandma, my grandson is leaving first."

"Go, go!"

Liu looked at the carriage reluctantly as it disappeared. Tears couldn't help but well up in her eyes. She put her hands together and prayed to the heaven: "God bless me, God bless me! May Zhili win the first place in one move, may the Lu family be able to avenge the past shame, and may the emperor use my grandson!"

Beijing Gongyuan.

The students have checked their identities and entered the inner hall. Lu Zhili was pulled by several classmates and walked at the end. When he saw him, one of them named Xu Lin deliberately mocked him: "I thought I wouldn't see you in the examination room? You are here too? How come, didn't the second prince reserve a place for you?"
