Chapter 88 My God

Su He took the album suspiciously, and the portrait on it was Liu Qiuqiu.

But she felt strange.

This was just an ordinary private room, but the proprietress could easily take out Liu Qiuqiu's portrait. Did she prepare it in advance?

"It's her."

The proprietress smiled happily: "Her nickname here is Yang Liu. She can play the piano and dance. There are always many people who come to support her."

Su He laughed sarcastically.

Among those people, there was also Lu Yanxiu at that time, right?

"Has Liu Qiuqiu ever had any contact with you guys since she followed the Lu family?"

The lady boss's eyes flickered slightly, and she didn't want to mention it, but when she thought of the little guard who had come to see her last night, she shuddered and replied, "I think she did... but only once."

"Tell me the details, and I'll give you a reward."

The lady boss hesitated.

But she was generous and didn't look like a willful person, so she told him everything she knew.

"After Yang Liu was redeemed by the Lu family, about one or two years later, her brother came to me in the rainy night and made a ridiculous request. He wanted me to find a man for her. Actually, our line of work is more or less not clean, but she was just a musician before, not a prostitute, so I was confused..."

"Her brother was very generous. He gave me a lot of jewelry as compensation and asked me to find a man who could plant seeds for Yang Liu overnight. I understood immediately when I heard this. I guess he wanted to hide the truth... She was lucky. There was indeed a distinguished guest that night, but he was stubborn and strong-willed, and had some unruly hobbies. Many girls in our building didn't want to meet him. I was merciful and brought him to Yang Liu, but it was only that night. I never met her again afterwards."

The proprietress was excited when she said this, but she didn't make it clear when she mentioned the identity of the distinguished guest.

It must be someone she couldn't offend.

After listening to the whole story, Su He felt a little turbulent.

Didn't Liu Jinglei's jewelry come from her dowry?

Pei Xia gave the proprietress some more gold as instructed.

"Oh my God..."

The proprietress held the glittering gold ingots in her hands, her eyes wide open!

It was so great to earn a lot of money just by talking nonsense!

"Miss, what else do you want to know?"

She wanted to make more money.

Su He said indifferently, "I'm not interested in anything else. What happened today..."

"Don't worry, don't worry! I won't say a word!"

The matter was settled.

After Su He and Pei Xia came out of Jiaoguilou, they did not leave, but went into a dessert shop opposite.

Pei Xia watched Su He hand over the money to the boss for two bowls of sweet soup, and was a little confused: "Madam, are we not going back?"

Su He drank a sip of the sweet soup calmly: "No hurry."

Pei Xia seemed to understand, but she simply put her heart in her stomach and enjoyed the delicious sweet soup seriously.

She usually didn't see any big scenes, but today she followed the lady to see the unknown side of Liu Qiuqiu.

This also indirectly confirmed that the lady was not ill, and the problem was with Lu Yanxiu, otherwise why would Liu Qiuqiu look for a man to have a child on a rainy night? It

was also her good luck that she had a dragon and a phoenix as her first child.

But there was one thing that was not clear.

The proprietress of Jiaoguilou said that Liu Qiuqiu had only spent the night with a man that one time, but she was pregnant when she entered the mansion...

Pei Xia was surprised and was about to ask, but she heard Su He whispered, "He came out."

She immediately looked up.

"Qingyun?"

"Why would he go to Jiaoguilou? Could he have gone there to have fun..."

Su He said, "The Dali Temple has strict laws. Although he is brave, he cannot ignore the king's law."

Pei Xia didn't understand. Why was he here?

"Madam, should I go and call him?"

Su He shook his head: "No need, let's go back."

Tonight, Liyuan was brightly lit, and even the corners where no one usually passed by were lit.

Lu Huaihe came back from handling government affairs. He wanted to go back to Qinfangju to see Su He, but the things that happened during the day weighed on his mind and made him feel bad. After thinking for a while, he went to the study.

Qingyun came to report.

"Sir, I have said hello to the proprietress of Jiaoguilou. There will be absolutely no difficulty for the young lady to go to investigate."

"Has she been there?"

"She went in the afternoon."

"I see, leave now."

Qingyun felt that Lu Huaihe was under a lot of pressure.

Thinking that there were no cases involved recently, he didn't know what was wrong with him.

Before leaving the door, he turned around and said, "The young lady went to the kitchen as soon as she came back. Do you want to go and take a look, sir?"

Lu Huaihe paused while flipping the scroll and did not answer.

After the door was closed, the study was eerily quiet.

He knew every word in the scroll, but he just couldn't read it.

In the carriage during the day, she said she would make some side dishes in the evening.

There was silence in the air for a while.

Lu Huaihe closed the scroll and walked out of the study.

From the back kitchen, the sound of frying dishes could be heard from time to time.

Several old women were peeling ginger and garlic at the door of the kitchen. When they saw Lu Huaihe coming, they immediately stood up to salute, but he stopped them.

Passing through a threshold.

Su He rolled up her sleeves and stood in front of the hot stove. She used a spatula in one hand to stir-fry evenly, and with the other hand she deftly put the remaining dishes into the pot.

The fire was a bit high, and suddenly a flame burst out.

Su He threw away the spatula and stepped back, but he never expected to fall into Lu Huaihe's arms.

"Are you okay?"

Su He looked up, and her fair cheeks were covered with soot.

There was some oil on her hands, and she wiped them on her skirt for fear of dirtying Lu Huaihe's clothes.

"You're back?"

Lu Huaihe's eyes trembled slightly, and he hummed, then let her go.

Both of them were a little restrained.

Su He stood up straight, and was about to take the spatula from the pot, but was stopped by Lu Huaihe before he could touch it.

"Put your hand close to the pot, be careful of burning your hands."

He took the rag beside him and brought up the spatula.

Su He showed a satisfied smile on her face, and said softly: "It's great to have you."

Lu Huaihe's heart moved, his eyes fell on her rosy cheeks, and he asked lightly: "Why?"

Su He used a plate to take the dishes out of the pot, and Lu Huaihe noticed that a lot of dishes had been prepared on the table next to him.

Whether it was the taste or the appearance, they were all very good.

"Because you always stand up for me."

"The matter of Jiao Gui Lou was a great help to me."

Su He said to herself.

Lu Huaihe knew that Qingyun's work was not flawless, and she still found out.

"As a woman, you will inevitably be treated harshly if you go to such a place."

Su He tilted her head and smiled faintly: "That's why I said, it's great to have you, otherwise it wouldn't be so smooth."
