Chapter 84 What kind of master are you?
Lu Huaihe raised his eyebrows, did not answer, and his eyes moved slightly downward.
Su He hurriedly explained: "It's my sister-in-law who is pregnant! Not me!"
In fact, before the wedding, Zhao Wanrong found out that she was pregnant, but she didn't make it public because she thought the fetus was not yet stable, and only told Su He.
Su He was very happy to think that there would be another nephew or niece, so she thought about making a pair of tiger-head shoes by hand and sending them to her before the birth, for good luck.
"Oh? It's not the madam?"
Lu Huaihe deliberately teased her, with a playful look in his eyes.
Su He was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly turned sideways to put the tiger-head shoes in the box.
An arm suddenly climbed up her waist.
Lu Huaihe rested his chin on her shoulder, stroking her arm with his fingertips, and said in a hoarse voice: "Madam, it's time to rest."
The warmth from her ear made Su He's heart move, and she replied in a very low voice: "I haven't put away my needlework yet."
Lu Huaihe held her slender hand in his palm, breathing as sweet as orchid: "Pei Xia will clean it up."
"Madam, there is a guest seeking to see you!"
Lu Huaihe had just finished the first sentence when Pei Xia's voice came from behind. She knocked on the door and said again: "I have already declined, but that person won't leave!"
There are not many people who can come to Li Garden to find her.
Su He thought about it, but couldn't think of who it was. Lu Huaihe pinched her waist and asked outside: "Which guest?"
"It's... it's the eldest son of the Lu family."
Lu Yanxiu?
Su He noticed that the force on her waist increased slightly, and Lu Huaihe seemed unhappy.
"No."
She said two words lightly.
It was not to agree with Lu Huaihe's feelings, but she didn't want to see him.
After Pei Xia agreed, she turned around and went outside the mansion to tell Lu Yanxiu. Not long after, she turned back.
"Madam, he won't leave. He said he wants to see you again before he leaves." Pei Xia panted and complained in a low voice: "Really? We are obviously two different families. Why does he come to Li Garden to see you? Is he a grown man and doesn't know the difference in etiquette?"
If he asked for an audience in Su Mansion, it would be understandable. This is Li Garden, the place where you and your wife got married!
There was a moment of hesitation in the room.
Su He said loudly: "Let him wait for me in the front hall."
"Yes."
She stood up, straightened her messy clothes, and said to Lu Huaihe: "I'll be back soon."
"Your husband will wait for you here."
This sentence was really ambiguous. Su He's cheeks flushed, and she hummed softly, pushed the door and walked out.
In the main hall, Lu Yanxiu sat down awkwardly.
Walking all the way from the outside of the mansion, when she noticed the expensive furnishings in Li Garden, her eyes slightly reddened. Just an ordinary white jade bottle can allow the Lu family to live on delicious food for half a month, and such white jade bottles are so cheap that they are everywhere in Li Garden.
"Why are you looking for me?"
It was early autumn and still a little hot. Su He was wearing a light cloud shirt and walked in with a graceful figure. When she saw Lu Yanxiu, she immediately remembered Liu Jinglei's words.
For so many years, the three words "nothing to come out" seemed to nail her to the pillar of shame. It must be the woman's fault if she couldn't give birth to a child, and Lu Yanxiu refused to accept the diagnosis of Doctor Yu, and even pushed the fault onto Su He like everyone else.
After Liu Qiuqiu gave birth to the child, everyone in the Lu family was extremely proud. If they knew that the twins were born to Liu Qiuqiu and another man, who would go crazy first, Liu or Lu Yanxiu?
Su He's eyes flickered, as if she could foresee the near future.
At least, before she followed Lu Huaihe to leave Beijing and go to the south of the Yangtze River, the matter should be settled.
"I didn't expect that you could marry... Lord Lu."
The word "little uncle" was stuck in Lu Yanxiu's throat, and he couldn't say it.
He vaguely remembered what he said to Su He when they divorced.
Thinking about it now, it was actually a joke.
"There will be many more things that will surprise Master Lu."
Su He sat down calmly with a calm face.
"I came here to ask for a favor." This was Li Yuan, and Lu Yanxiu didn't want to waste time talking to her, so the topic returned to the main track.
Su He said, "Just tell me, I will refuse anything I can refuse."
Lu Yanxiu asked back, "How many years have we been friends, are you going to treat me like this?"
Even Pei Xia couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but complain, "I'm afraid it's because of your friendship with Liu Qiuqiu? When did you remember my wife? Now that the Lu family is in financial difficulty, is it
possible that they want to ask Li Yuan for money..." She deliberately raised her voice to embarrass Lu Yanxiu.
Lu Yanxiu, who was easily angered, was really furious. Seeing Su He listening silently without any resistance, he could not hold back and said in a cold voice: "We have been separated for so long, and you still can't take care of me! You don't even call me aunt? How can a servant interrupt when the master is talking?"
"Really?" Su He squinted his eyes: "She will naturally shut up when I speak, but what kind of master are you?"
"You!"
This is Li Yuan, which has nothing to do with Lu Yanxiu, and he is indeed not a master.
But when it was put on the table, Lu Yanxiu felt that Su He was mocking him, and he became more determined to do what he wanted to do.
"Okay, I won't argue with you." He straightened his clothes and continued in a slow voice: "I came here today because of Lord Su's birthday. He has taken good care of the Lu family in the past, and has been especially caring towards Zhili. Seven days later is his 50th birthday, and I want to go to his house in person to congratulate him. What do you think?"
Su He raised his eyes and stared at him seriously.
Those eyes were clear and beautiful, but when they looked at people, they were extremely sharp.
"Do you really want to congratulate?"
Lu Yanxiu's eyes flashed: "Of course, this is a favor, and it should be repaid."
Su He suddenly smiled.
I don't know if it was Lu Yanxiu's illusion, he actually felt that there was mockery in that smile.
"Since you want to congratulate me, I will accept this kindness on behalf of my father."
Lu Yanxiu seemed surprised. Did he agree so quickly?
He was still thinking that maybe Su He would not agree.
It doesn't matter if she disagrees. He will bring the gift to the Su Mansion in person.
In short, he must go.
Yi'er's black spots can't be delayed. The second prince has given an order, and he must set up a trap...
The Su family is gone, so it's not worth a pity.
After Lu Yanxiu left, Su He sat in the main hall for a long time, his fingers lightly resting on the armrest, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
Pei Xia spat in the direction he was going: "What kind of food is this? It's also for the old man's birthday celebration?"
"Did the Lu family send someone to keep an eye on
it?" Pei Xia said: "They are watching, and they will know if there is any movement."
Su He nodded.
He took a sip of the tea and said calmly: "Pei Xia, you may have to go to the brothel with me to investigate Liu Qiuqiu's background. It would be best to investigate the biological father of Lu Yi and Lu Jiao."
