Chapter 70 Encountering the enemy again
Lingluo Lane on Zhuque Street was where she died.
Shouldn't Lu Yanxiu burn a stick of incense for her in her previous life and confess her guilt?
Su He was petite, and she looked even thinner standing in the bamboo forest.
Going to Zhuque Street, the most prosperous street in Beijing, naked and barefoot? Burning a stick of incense and kneeling for half an hour? Isn't this putting his face on the ground and crushing it repeatedly?
Lu Yanxiu couldn't believe that those were the words she said, his eyes trembled, and he immediately refused decisively: "Don't go too far!"
"Whether to lose your face or lose your son's life, choose for yourself."
Lu Yanxiu's pupils widened slightly, as if he was panicked by being spied on.
He thought to himself that if Ji'er could be cured, he would spend all his family wealth. But if he was not sure, it would be like what his grandmother said. He could not lose both money and face. It would be better to throw him into the wilderness and let him fend for himself!
"Anyway, I will not do what you ask." He was indignant and unwilling.
"It seems that your face is the most valuable."
Su He raised his eyebrows and walked past him.
In this world, what is most valued is often what is lost.
Doesn't the Lu family care about face the most?
Then wait.
"You..." Lu Yanxiu tried to argue with Su He, and subconsciously pulled her sleeve, but the smooth and delicate corner of the clothes slipped through her fingers.
Su He left without looking back.
Lu Yanxiu looked at his empty palms and gritted his teeth in anger, "Su He, don't go too far!"
After the setback at the Su family, Lu Yanxiu couldn't find a place to go, so he had to return home in disgrace.
Upon hearing the news of his return, Liu Qiuqiu quickly asked Mingchun to invite someone over and asked about the old immortal, with hope in her eyes.
"The Su family refused to reveal the news, so there must be no other way..."
Lu Yanxiu had to tell the truth, complaining to Su He for a while, and there was always a resentment in his heart.
Liu Qiuqiu's straight back suddenly softened on the bed. She looked at the swaddling clothes beside her and turned her eyes away with reluctance. "You said before that Su He was kind-hearted and good-natured, but now it seems that she is just so-so! I was sorry for her before. I shouldn't have gotten pregnant and had a child before her. But why are the adults' grudges blamed on the child? Ji'er is still so young, how can he bear such a stain?"
As soon as she finished speaking, sobbing began to sound again.
When Lu Yanxiu heard her crying, he immediately became uneasy and said in an impatient tone: "Your eyes are almost blind from crying, you should take a rest."
"I am sad for Ji'er. If he can't be cured, he will have to live in the ridicule of others for the rest of his life. It is better to kill him now..."
Liu Qiuqiu didn't say the next few words. She looked at Lu Yanxiu timidly, with tears in her eyes: "Husband, please ask grandmother to think of a solution!"
She had so much money hidden in her private treasury. It didn't matter who she gave it to. After all, she was a descendant of the Lu family. Would she be reluctant to give it to him? As long as the money was enough, who would worry about not finding a miracle doctor in the world?
Lu Yanxiu looked embarrassed and said reluctantly: "Grandmother's meaning... is to just drown him."
"...I went through so much trouble to give birth to him, not for him to meet King Yan!" Liu Qiuqiu accused with tears in her eyes, but she knew better than anyone that it is better to die cleanly than to live in pain in this world!
Lu Yanxiu still remembered that she complained about her first birth and he was not around. Thinking of that, all the complaints and dissatisfaction in recent days turned into smoke. Lu Yanxiu stepped forward and held Liu Qiuqiu in his arms, and comforted her with heartache: "During this period of time, I will do my best to find the old immortal. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will never give up!"
Sad, Liu Qiuqiu sensitively smelled a faint smell of powder on Lu Yanxiu's body.
Thinking of him just going to see Su He...she couldn't help but have wild thoughts.
The night fell and it was gloomy.
Su He was kept at Wang's house for dinner before leaving. Sitting in the carriage back to Su's house, when passing by Yanque Tower, she saw a familiar face.
She had seen that face in her previous life.
"Stop."
Su He lifted a corner of the curtain and saw a man dressed as a servant, holding a handful of silver in his hand. He looked around at the door for a long time, and then stepped into the Yanque Tower with a sly smile on his face.
"What's wrong, young lady?" Pei Xia asked.
Su He looked at the plaque of Yanque Tower, heard the gambling and cheering coming from inside, frowned and asked: "Is this a casino?" "
Yes, the largest casino in the capital. I heard that it is a shop under the second prince. Did you see an acquaintance, young lady?"
"Not an acquaintance, but an enemy."
The man was four points similar to Liu Qiuqiu, with a rough look and reckless behavior. It can be seen that he is a country man.
And the portrait of the arsonist who caused the Su family to be buried in the sea of fire provided by the Dali Temple in the previous life looked exactly like him!
Su He lowered the curtain, hatred surging in his eyes.
The resemblance in appearance cannot deceive people. The man was still wearing the clothes of a servant in the Lu Mansion. It seemed that he had a special relationship with Liu Qiuqiu.
Su He quickly sent people to the casinos to line up, and finally found out some information.
"The man's name is Liu Jinglei. He is a villager from Zhuanger Village outside the city. His parents are still alive. He has started a family and has two sons. Liu Jinglei has not been working properly for many years. Instead, he hangs out in casinos and fireworks venues every day. Every time he spends, he is very generous, as if he has a family behind him. He has a sister, who is... Liu Qiuqiu."
Pei Xia paid a large sum of money to find out these details. To her surprise, Liu Jinglei and Liu Qiuqiu are actually siblings? No wonder the two of them look alike. I heard that he is on duty in Lu's mansion now. Didn't Lu Yanxiu notice it?
"He likes to go to the casino?"
"As long as he has free time, he has to go three times a day!"
Su He understood. After thinking carefully for a while, he ordered Pei Xia: "Send someone to guard in front of Yanque Tower to observe the number and frequency of his visits to the casino. Since he is Liu Qiuqiu's brother, everything can be discussed."
This time, it was her turn to stay in the dark.
Pei Xia agreed.
Outside the courtyard, Qingyun was waiting outside and handed the things that Lu Huaihe ordered to Pei Xia, asking him to pass them on to Su He. It was not a valuable thing, but it was very special.
It was a pure handmade love knot that could be tied around the wrist.
"Qingyun said that this was woven by Lord Lu himself and sent over specially."
Su He picked up the knot of love, which was exquisite in appearance and well-matched in color. Wearing it on her wrist, the red rope and white skin complemented each other, and it looked simple and beautiful.
She smiled softly and asked Pei Xia to reply: "Tell Qingyun that I accepted the things."
Qingyun outside the courtyard heard this and applauded, which made Pei Xia a little confused.
"My young lady accepted Lord Lu's things, why are you happy?"
"You don't understand."
Pei Xia was annoyed: "You are the only one who understands?"
"That's a knot of love, can you and I use a knot of love? The master can give this thing as a gift, and the young lady can accept it as she wishes. What does it mean that you don't understand?"
