Chapter 8 Got it, uncle
Lu Huaihe had never seen Su He lose control like this.
He recalled that she was always graceful and charming in the past pictures. As a daughter of a noble family in Beijing, she was the target of blind dates for many noble sons, but she ended up marrying Lu Yanxiu, who was an official.
"You... need an antidote. I'll ask Qingyun to find it."
Lu Huaihe stared at Su He's painful and forbearing look, his eyes trembled slightly, and his fingertips moved, resting on the back of her delicate hand, and finally releasing her from himself.
"Bleeding."
The severe pain could temporarily make her lose the effect of the medicine.
Su He lay on the bed with a hoarse voice. The aphrodisiac drug was spreading throughout her body. It felt like countless ants were biting her all over. When Lu Huaihe touched the back of her hand just now, she felt so numb and comfortable that she couldn't help but want to scream out.
But as a noblewoman, the daughter of a wealthy family, and now the young lady of the Lu family, she had already lost her composure and could not lose face again!
Su He raised her head suddenly, her red pupils were full of water, and she looked at Lu Huaihe with a pleading look.
He paused in pushing the door.
After a brief thought, Lu Huaihe walked to the couch and lowered his eyelids: "Sorry for the offense!"
Su He bit her lip, her eyes were moist, and she closed her eyes.
The clothes on her shoulder slipped off, and the sharp dagger cut a wound on her shoulder. Su He groaned in pain and immediately felt blood flowing from her shoulder.
Lu Huaihe was afraid of dirtying his clothes, so he cleaned up the bloodstains. The bright red blood contrasted with his fair skin. He turned his eyes away, and his ears turned slightly red.
After the pain, Su He felt that the medicine was suppressed.
She leaned on the couch and gasped, with beads of sweat on her forehead. She lowered her head and glanced at the wound on her shoulder. The bleeding had stopped.
Su He knew that Lu Huaihe was thinking about her. If the wound was on her arm, it would be noticed by others if she wasn't careful, and she would be unable to explain it.
"Thank you, Lord Lu."
She turned to tidy up her clothes, and her weak and gentle voice fell into Lu Huaihe's ears, with a tender and delicate feeling. His Adam's apple
moved slightly, and he reached out to lower the bed curtain, turned his back and said calmly: "Take a rest, someone will escort you back to the mansion later."
The trees here were dense and blocked the sunlight, so Su He didn't know the time for the time being. The banquet was estimated to be over. Although she was a little anxious to return home, her legs were still a little weak, so she had to take a rest.
"Thank you, Lord Lu."
Calling him Lord Lu all the time sounded distant and cold. Lu Huaihe hesitated for a while: "Lu Yanxiu and I are collateral blood relatives, you don't have to be too formal in addressing him."
Su He's peach blossom eyes slightly curved, and she gave him a weak smile: "I know, uncle."
Lu Huaihe's eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and he looked at her sideways with a complicated expression.
After a moment, he felt that he was really confused.
Lu Yanxiu was indeed his nephew, and there was nothing wrong with Su He addressing him like this, otherwise, considering that he was ten years older than her, he couldn't just call him by his name, right?
"Qingyun will be guarding outside, so don't worry about someone accidentally breaking in."
Lu Huaihe arranged his personal guards outside the door. Su He said ok and watched him walk out of the room.
Qingyun was waiting outside the corridor. When he saw the young master coming out, he was about to ask about the situation of the young lady of the Lu Mansion, but he caught a glimpse of the young master's slightly red ears.
"Escort her back to the Lu Mansion in half an hour."
"Yes."
The banquet by the Minghua Pool was coming to an end.
Liu Qiuqiu left the table on the pretext of meeting his brother who was pretending to be a servant, and found that he had not succeeded.
"Such a good opportunity, you didn't seize it?"
"I heard that the eldest princess's people took her away."
Brother Liu Jinglei looked embarrassed.
When he found Su He's seat, the person had already been taken away.
Liu Qiuqiu didn't believe it. Su He had no connection with the princess at all, so how could she take someone away?
On the other hand, Lu Yanxiu looked for Su He for several times but couldn't find her. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, he couldn't help but complain: "How could a living person disappear out of thin air?"
Or maybe she saw him and Qiuqiu sitting at the same table, and felt dissatisfied, so she left early?
Lu Yanxiu couldn't help but think that Su He was petty and jealous. She dared to act like a child in the princess's mansion, and said that she was a noble lady in the capital, which was really a disgrace to her reputation.
Liu Qiuqiu, who rushed back, was not in a good mood because her plan didn't succeed. At this time, she just hoped that Su He could really disappear out of thin air and she would become the new young lady of the Lu Mansion!
"Young Madam is blessed by heaven, there will be no accidents. If we can't find her, we will report her to the police!"
Liu Qiuqiu urged to go back. Because of her pregnant belly, she couldn't sit for a long time. Now she just missed the soft couch in Tingyuxuan.
Lu Yanxiu didn't see anyone, and it was impossible for him to look for her in the Princess's Mansion. He had to follow Liu Qiuqiu's advice.
After the carriage hurried back to the Lu Mansion, Su He did not come back.
Mrs. Liu, the old lady of Lu, called Lu Yanxiu over and asked about Su He, which caused him to complain.
Liu brought a bowl of hot tea with a smile, her cloudy eyes flashing with calculation, and her voice became louder: "My dear grandson, grandma has something planned for you. When Su He comes back later, we can just take control of her!"
Lu Yanxiu was stunned: "What does grandma mean by this?"
"Su He wants to divorce and take all the dowry with her. Our huge Lu Mansion can't survive relying on your salary alone. I originally thought that she could leave if she wanted to, after all, she couldn't compare with those two cute and well-behaved great-grandsons! But on second thought, she has been eating and drinking for so many years and hasn't spent a penny of our Lu Mansion's money?"
"I sent someone to trap her in the Princess's mansion. We are just waiting for her to lose her virginity. Then you can send her out with a divorce letter. The mountain of dowry in the Osmanthus Courtyard will naturally be ours!"
In the past, the dowry had been piled up in the storehouse. In the past few days, Su He had gone crazy and moved all of it into the Osmanthus Courtyard, as if she was on guard against someone.
When Lu Yanxiu heard that she had lost her virginity, he immediately became anxious: "Grandmother, you are too foolish. After all, Su He is a member of the Su family. What if she pursues the matter..."
He is just a small secretary, doesn't he have an official position that will be targeted?
Liu leaned back in her chair and smiled maliciously: "If she really wants to investigate, she has to see if she has the ability! You don't have to be afraid of the Minister of Rites. Su He is already married. Now that her innocence has been ruined, will the Su family still rush to investigate? I'm afraid that we will become a laughing stock in the whole capital!"
Lu Yanxiu knew that when Su He got married, it was the heyday of the Su family. They prepared a lot of dowry for her, not to mention the courtyard and the shop.
He seemed to be struggling on his face, and muttered: "Just take Su He's dowry away, we don't need to plot against her like this..."
"Ridiculous!"
