Chapter 58 What you said doesn't count
Su He raised a mocking arc at the corner of his lips, and continued calmly: "If you lie in front of me, you, and all the descendants of the Lu family, will have no official luck and will not be able to enter the court. All your bright futures and long journeys will vanish into thin air!"
Lu Zhili's face suddenly changed, and his whole face was gloomy.
The explanation stuck in his throat could not be said.
Through the locked prison door, Su He looked down at him with a look full of provocation and mockery.
"You will never succeed."
Lu Zhili clenched his fists. His brother and grandmother would definitely find a way for him. Even if they were limited in their abilities and couldn't help, the second prince would never stand by and watch him die!
The incident at the Zhaixing Restaurant was such a big deal, but didn't they find a scapegoat? Since Baili Feng wanted to use him as a counselor, she would definitely solve everything!
And what could Su He, a little lady in a secluded place, do?
Su He still smiled faintly, her eyebrows turned, and her tone was light: "Your words don't count."
After a moment, the cell returned to its usual silence.
After Su He left, Lu Zhili leaned down along the prison door, his eyes a little dazed. He didn't even know that Su He was so hostile to him?
Was it because he had used too much of her dowry to build relationships over the years? Or did she find out about the nominal boss of Zhaixing Restaurant?
Only Baili Feng and his brother Lu Yanxiu knew that Lu Zhili wanted to overthrow Su Ronghai. How did Su He get the news?
Could it be... that his brother told him?
Although he and Su He had divorced, who could guarantee that they wouldn't rekindle their old feelings and say the wrong thing?
Lu Zhili's mind was a mess, and what he was more anxious about was not knowing when the prince would interrogate him? How could Baili Feng save him?
The prison was damp and full of mosquitoes and insects, and he, a scholar, really couldn't stay there.
Suddenly, a hand appeared behind him and patted him on the shoulder.
Lu Zhili's heart skipped a beat, and he turned around to look, meeting a pair of gloomy eyes.
After leaving the Dali Temple, Su He went straight to the carriage back to the house. As soon as he stepped on the carriage, he heard a voice behind him: "Su He!"
Pei Xia looked in the direction of the voice, and it turned out to be Qi Sheng?
He waved, ran briskly to the front of the carriage, rubbed his hands nervously, and greeted him.
"I happened to see you go in when I passed by the Dali Temple, and I waited for a long time before I saw you come out. I heard that Brother Lu was imprisoned. You were his sister-in-law, so it's only right for you to come and visit him."
Su He stared at him and asked, "Young Master Qi, is there anything wrong?"
"No, no! Are you going back? I'm going back too, and we can share the same road!" Qi Sheng got on his carriage and wanted to go the same way as Su He.
Pei Xia hurriedly said, "Young Master Qi, how can this be done? You and my young lady are
going in different directions, so forget it." When they reached a fork in the road not far away, the two of them were about to go their separate ways. How could they share the same road? If someone with ulterior motives saw them, they would have to make a big fuss.
Pei Xia understood Qi Sheng's thoughts.
She thought for a moment, glanced at the Dali Temple and continued, "In addition to visiting the Second Young Master Lu, my young lady also made a special trip to visit Lord Lu Huaihe!"
When mentioning Lu Huaihe's name, Qi Sheng was always a little afraid, and his expression was not as cheerful as before, "What do you want to see him for?"
Pei Xia deliberately couldn't help laughing, and said to him intentionally, "Lord Lu is particularly fond of my young lady. Since we are here today, we naturally have to meet Lord Lu."
Lu Huaihe?
Qi Sheng didn't understand, but he was very curious. Would Lu Huaihe be more fond of Su He?
He didn't believe it.
"Pei Xia, don't say these things to fool me. Lord Lu is busy with official duties and has no intersection with Su He. How could he favor her?"
"Forgive me for being frank, there are so many things that Young Master Qi doesn't know."
"Pei Xia, go back to the house!"
Su He's voice came from inside, and Qi Sheng immediately leaned on the window to explain: "Su He, I don't look down on you, but Lord Lu has nothing to do with you, and I will never associate him with you. You know I have always been straightforward and have no malice..."
"Young Master Qi!"
Su He lifted the curtain and looked at him with a smile, but there was an undisguised flash of alienation in his eyes.
"It's getting late. If you are free, go back home and spend more time with the lady, so that Madam Duan can rest assured."
"I... I don't want to go back." He just wanted to talk to Su He, but he never had the chance. In fact, Qi Sheng has a family, and Su He will have better choices. The two will never have another chance in the future.
"If you don't want to go back, I'll send someone to take you."
Lu Huaihe's voice came from far away. He had been handling official business all night without rest, and there was a little red in his eyes. He walked slowly to the front of the carriage, stood face to face with Qi Sheng, and asked loudly: "Are you free again these days?"
"I finished all my homework yesterday, and I came out today with my mother's permission." In front of Lu Huaihe, Qi Sheng couldn't make any trouble. After all, he had been controlled by him since he was a child, and he already had a kind of fear in his heart.
Madam Duan knew Princess Zhaoyang and they had a good relationship. Qi Sheng was weak and sickly since birth. She listened to the fortune teller and sent him to the Princess's mansion to be raised. Because he was still young, he was always disciplined by Lu Huaihe.
"Go back to the mansion."
"Lord Lu, I..."
"If you don't like Qingyun's escort, I can take you back myself." Lu Huaihe looked at him quietly. He had nothing to do today and was free.
"No, no!" Qi Sheng didn't want Lu Huaihe to appear in the Qi Mansion, otherwise Madam Duan would be in trouble again. He looked reluctantly into the carriage, and under Lu Huaihe's gaze, he turned around and left silently.
As soon as he left, Su He lifted the curtain and her clever eyes fell on Lu Huaihe. Seeing some blood stains and a slightly tired look, she asked, "Your Excellency, have you been busy with official duties and not slept all night?"
"No problem."
Su He thought for a moment and asked, "Are you going to judge the case of Lu Zhili?"
"I will preside over the case, and Your Excellency Su and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be in attendance."
Su He understood, retracted her hands and lowered the curtain.
Although she acted calm in front of Lu Zhili, she was afraid that the person in charge of the case would find out that she was the one who did it.
However, as long as Lu Yunqing doesn't give in...
Lu Mansion, Weirui Pavilion.
Lu Yanxiu used the method suggested by Liu to bring Lu Yunqing back. He made up a cover-up of a murder, so even if Chen hated Lu Yunqing, she couldn't refuse.
Lu Yunqing is already two months pregnant, but her belly is not yet visible.
When she was in Qingxinju, she heard several maids mention that her second brother was arrested.
But how could he cheat when he is so smart and talented?
Liu sat up from the bed and put on an outer robe. When she saw Lu Yunqing sitting beside her with a pale face, she felt her head buzzing.
"You sent that set of clothes to Weirui Pavilion."
