Chapter 69 Then I will be merciful

Wang paused and did not continue.

Su He knew what she meant, and was afraid of meeting the wrong person again and being hurt for no reason.

"What you said... Lord Lu is clear-headed and upright. Although it is a bit abnormal for a 30-year-old man to come here without a wife, he came to propose marriage in person and brought so many valuable things. He must be sincere! Otherwise, wouldn't it be enough to just find a matchmaker to run there?"

Su Ronghai felt from the bottom of his heart that Lu Huaihe was reliable. Just standing there, who could bully Ah He?

Moreover, he had worked with Lu Huaihe in the court, and there was nothing unclear about his character and behavior. As for why he refused to form an marriage for many years, he was also confused.

"What do you know? Ah He has already been married. What if she meets the wrong man again? How many years of her life can she give away? How much energy can she expend?" Wang glared at Su Ronghai, then looked at Su He again and softened her voice and said, "If you don't want to agree, I will refuse him in person. Don't worry about his identity."

A warm current surged in Su He's heart.

Her mother's maternal family was a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan, and their business even reached the capital and the palace. Even if she rejected Lu Huaihe's intention in person, there was still room for negotiation.

She stroked the back of Wang's hand comfortingly, and said with a smile, "Mother, I am willing."

"Are you serious?"

Wang frowned, seeing that she didn't seem to be joking.

"Are you really willing to marry Lu Huaihe?"

Su He nodded gently, smiling lightly.

Su Ronghai clapped his hands in approval, wishing to announce it to the world immediately. After a brief thought, he felt that it would be bad to be too ostentatious, and it would not be good to be too proactive. He should wait for the order from Lord Lu! There

was a knock on the door outside the study, and Zhao Wanrong stood outside and reported, "Father and mother, Lu Yanxiu is here."

Su He had not heard this name for a long time, and she felt familiar and strange. Wang and Su Ronghai saw that she looked the same, and they thought they didn't care, so they asked Zhao Wanrong to bring the person in.

Wang sat on the nanmu armchair, took a sip of tea, and said reluctantly: "Maybe he is here to ask for money again."

Su He frowned and smiled. According to his temper, he might do something when he was pushed into a corner.

"I have met Lord Su and Madam Wang."

Lu Yanxiu greeted the two elders as soon as he entered the study. However, he was used to calling them father and mother before, and it was a bit awkward to change the name now.

He glanced and saw Su He.

She was just wearing a green gauze skirt, and her posture was as gentle as before, but Lu Yanxiu couldn't take his eyes away. He

vaguely remembered that not long after they met last time, they had an argument over a purse. Time passed in a flash, and half a month had passed. She was still cold and indifferent, and there was no place for him in her eyes.

"Su He, long time no see." Lu Yanxiu said softly.

Su He's eyebrows did not move, as if he did not hear.

No one responded, which made the situation look a little ugly. Su Ronghai broke the situation and asked the servant to bring tea and invited Lu Yanxiu to sit down. Wang just smiled faintly and did not greet him.

Lu Yanxiu was indeed a little embarrassed, especially now that he needed help from others. Seeing that Su He did not want to pay attention to him, he talked to Su Ronghai in a casual manner. After a round of detours, he finally got to the point.

"Master Su, I would like to ask where the old immortal who treated Brother Su is now?" Lu Yanxiu's eyebrows were a little anxious.

"Old immortal?"

Su Ronghai thought for a while, and suddenly remembered that Su Ling fell from a height and behaved stupidly for a long time. It was indeed an old immortal who passed by and saved him.

"He was a traveling doctor, who lived in the world and had no fixed place to stay. It was not easy to find him. Maybe I can meet him tomorrow, or maybe I will never see him in this lifetime."

Su Ronghai really did not exaggerate. The old immortal also said that he was just passing by and saved Su Ling out of compassion.

His inquiring eyes moved on Lu Yanxiu, and he asked curiously: "Is anyone in your family sick?"

"No! No one is sick, I just have something I want to ask the old immortal for help... Lord Su, can I talk to Su He alone?" Lu Yanxiu said it very sincerely, and his eyes were even more cautious, afraid that they would disagree.

Su He stared at him, very distant: "Come out with me."

She stood up and left the study first. Lu Yanxiu hurriedly said goodbye to Su Ronghai and Wang, and quickly followed.

In the quiet and slender bamboo forest, Su He stood quietly, waiting for Lu Yanxiu to come to him. Before he could catch his breath, he heard her say, "The child you and Liu Qiuqiu had is not ideal, right?" "

You... you knew? Did you spy on me?" Lu Yanxiu had sealed the secrets of everyone in the mansion, and it was impossible for him to leak them. Apart from that, he could not find a better reason to be suspicious.

Su He thought it was ridiculous and gave him a cold look: "What value do you have that I can monitor you?"

"Then why are you..." Lu Yanxiu lowered his head dejectedly, not intending to hide it from her, and explained: "Ji'er was born with a black spot, which was long and narrow and almost occupied half of his body. I asked around and found that no one in the capital could cure this disease, so I came to you."

Su He once revealed that the old immortal gave the Su family a place when he was wandering. It was the Taoist temple where he practiced. If he could get the name of the Taoist temple, he might be able to find him this time!

"I won't help you."

"Su He!" Lu Yanxiu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words, trying to make his tone sound a little pleading. He was already saving face for the child. "He is still a child. Can you bear to watch him being laughed at and bullied in the next few decades?"

"That's your child with Liu Qiuqiu. He has nothing to do with me. What does his next few decades have to do with me?" Su He remembered that he had met Qi'er once in his previous life. The black spots were indeed terrifying, and would become even more terrifying as time went by.

"You and I have been together for three years without getting pregnant. Now I have a son and a daughter. Ji'er's arrival should be the icing on the cake, but God is blind! Su He, that child is hard-earned for me. Please tell me about the Taoist temple of the old immortal. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"

Lu Yanxiu knew that she was gentle and easy to talk to. In the past, he only needed to say soft words to make her agree, but now she would not agree.

Ji'er's matter could not be delayed. Qi Qi had been crying since giving birth, and her eyes were almost blinded by tears! If he couldn't think of a solution from Su He, then he could only...

"Lu Yanxiu, you can say that I am cold-blooded and heartless, but I will not help you. However, if you want me to show mercy, that's fine..." Su He's gentle expression suddenly became a little colder, and he said word by word, "Then from now on, take off your shirt, walk barefoot from Su's house to Zhuque Street, then go to Lingluo Lane to burn a stick of incense, and kneel for half an hour. If you do as I say, I will leave immediately to take you to find the old immortal."
