Chapter 64 Thank you, mother, for your help

Zhaoyang became interested and asked, "I remember that Su Ronghai has two daughters who are still unmarried. I have seen them before and they are both beautiful. Tell me, which one do you want to marry?"

Lu Huaihe twitched his lips slightly and smiled softly, "Mother, you guessed wrong. I want to marry Lord Su's legitimate daughter, Su He."

The nannies and maids beside her were slightly startled and secretly observed the eldest princess's expression. Seeing that she slowly put away her smile, they stepped back a few steps and did not listen to the conversation of their masters.

Zhaoyang asked, "Is it the Su He that you divorced?"

"Yes."

"You have been single for many years and don't want to have an in-law. Is it because of her?"

Zhaoyang is a member of the royal family after all. How could he not see that his son has always had someone in his heart?

When Su He and Lu Yanxiu got married, Lu Huaihe, who had never had any contact with the Lu family, sent a valuable gift and got drunk at the banquet. In the following years, he also had a few encounters with Su He, but he avoided her on purpose. Since she was a married woman, he no longer had any desire for her.

I didn't expect that now...

"Mother, I love Su He for more than just a few words."

After years of dreaming about her, one day it will come true.

Lu Huaihe stood up, clasped his hands in fists, lowered his eyebrows, and was a little nervous.

Even if his mother did not agree to this marriage, it didn't matter. He had grown up and could provide Su He with a rich life without having to rely on his family.

But his father died early, and his mother was the closest person to him in the world. If he didn't get her approval, Lu Huaihe would always feel bad.

"If I had asked for her earlier, she wouldn't have suffered so much hardship in Lu Yanxiu for several years." He laughed at himself.

Since the divorce, whenever someone in the capital mentioned Mrs. Lu Yanxiu, they would talk about the concubine coming to visit and the three-year pregnancy.

Su He has always been gentle and would not care about anything, but Lu Huaihe felt distressed when he heard it.

A woman spent three years of her best time serving her mother-in-law and doing trivial household chores, and finally got out of it, but was cursed all over.

"It is rumored outside that she can't have children, is that true?"

Zhaoyang said calmly, leaning back on the slightly cool chair, feeling a little uneasy today.

Lu Huaihe said: "Offspring are a continuation of blessings and a matter of destiny. If I don't have children in this life, it

means I am not blessed enough." "Nonsense!" Zhaoyang was furious. For some reason, she suddenly thought of her husband who died early. The man she loved most in her life, he died without even seeing his children. Could this also be a lack of blessings?

Since Lu Huaihe was born, Zhaoyang has been very kind to him and never confined him with any rules or dogmas. As long as he didn't like them, she would never force him to learn. Fortunately,

he is gentle by nature and never oversteps the boundaries in his moral conduct, which makes Zhaoyang seldom worry.

He said this today because he asked Su He to marry him. I'm afraid this is the first time that he has made her angry.

"I have heard about the cheating in the Imperial Examination Hall. I heard that it displeased Baili Feng, who is known for his violent temper in the capital. You asked for her marriage in a hurry because you wanted to protect Su He?" "

Even if you have to go against Baili Feng in the future and your career is not smooth, you will have no complaints?"

Zhao Yang narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Lu Huai He. When he said the word "no regrets" in person, his emotions were complicated. He didn't know whether he was happy or sad for a moment?

Baili Feng was just a junior in front of her and naturally had no intimidation, but he tried to interfere in the court and kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Once Huai He married Su He, it would be blatantly against him!

Zhao Yang's chest was slightly heaving and he closed his eyes gently.

I vaguely remember that in the first two years after marrying Lu Zhiping, she was afraid of the difficulty of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth, so she kept drinking contraceptive soup.

Her mother-in-law Wang and her elder sister-in-law Liu were jealous of the imperial power, but they were dissatisfied with Zhaoyang's inability to have children, and they often complained to Lu Zhiping. Liu even wanted to give her illegitimate sister to Lu Zhiping as a concubine.

Lu Zhiping never mentioned this matter in front of Zhaoyang, and always smiled and evaded the complaints and dissatisfaction of his family.

When Zhaoyang wanted to be with him and was pregnant, he lost his life on the way back to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

Zhaoyang, who had always been afraid of pain, gave birth to Lu Huaihe under the double pressure of the pain of losing her father and the pain of childbirth, and then resolutely left the Lu Mansion with her dowry.

After all, they are father and son, and their personalities are so similar!

Zhaoyang couldn't say that she would refuse Su He to be her daughter-in-law, but she didn't want her son to be ridiculed by the dignitaries in Beijing for marrying a second wife!

The mother and son were silent for a long time, until the maids thought that time had stopped, Zhaoyang waved his hands, exhaled and said helplessly: "There is no elder in the family to preside over the marriage, you make the decision yourself."

In this way, it means that she agreed.

Lu Huaihe's eyes flickered slightly, and he bowed deeply to her with both hands.

"Thank you, mother, for your help."

Zhaoyang felt bitter in his heart, turned his face away, and said lightly: "Take a look at the betrothal gift list prepared before, and add any that are not up to standard."

He also had a unique reputation in the court. If the most important marriage in his life was not done properly, wouldn't it be a waste of gossip?

Zhaoyang valued his reputation and would definitely not let his son become the topic of conversation among the people in Beijing. The thing that the Princess's Mansion lacked the most was gold, silver, and jewelry. As long as they were not emptied, he could take whatever he wanted.

Lu Huaihe happily agreed, and for a moment he felt an inexplicable emotion in his chest that he wanted to express.

He said goodbye to Zhaoyang, left the house, got on his horse, and went directly to Su's house.

At that time, the night was dark and the evening wind was rustling.

Lu Huaihe felt cold on his shoulders, but his cheeks were flushed with anxiety.

He stood in front of Su He's door, raised his hand several times, but did not knock on the door.

After thinking quietly, there was a knock on the door, and Su He's questioning voice came from inside, lazy and soft.

"Ah He, it's me."

There was no answer from the room for a long time.

Lu Huaihe stood in front of the door and waited quietly until there was an answer.

Not far from the gate, Qingyun and Peixia were lying on the stone, watching attentively. They looked at each other and asked, "Why don't you just rush in?"

Peixia rolled his eyes and said, "If we rush in, won't we become playboys?"

"Then do you think your young lady has a crush on Lord Lu? Will they be together?"

"How should I know? If it really happens, my young lady will be too wronged." Pei Xia was a little worried.

Qingyun was surprised: "Why?"

"Isn't it because you are worried that my young lady's happiness in the second half of her life is not guaranteed? Lord Lu has not even had a concubine for so many years. Who knows what hidden illness he might have? What if he is inhumane..."

Hearing such a ridiculous statement, Qingyun's mouth twitched, and he suddenly guessed how the master and servant of the Su family were behind Lord Lu.
