Chapter 107 What's Wrong With Insulting You?
He was wary of Su He, fearing that she had any bad intentions, and his mother had previously warned him not to mention anything about his uncle.
Su He only found the two children's actions interesting. She looked up at the sky and said softly, "It's very cold in the autumn night. If this person is outside, he might catch a cold."
Seeing this, Lu Yi also looked at the gray sky, as if it was about to rain.
"Pei Xia, let's go."
Su He ignored them, went into the house, said goodbye to Zhao Liuyun, and left the Lu Mansion with Pei Xia.
Lu Yunqing is still unconscious now, and she will definitely not let Liu Qiuqiu go when she wakes up.
Now, I can just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between two tigers.
Later in the evening, the wind blew violently and it really started to rain.
Pei Xia went to heat a pot of tea and came back, then closed the door curtain to keep the damp rain out.
Su He sat by candlelight reviewing his lessons, and became particularly absorbed in the content of his studies.
Pei Xia poured a cup of hot tea next to her and added two plates of freshly made pastries. "Madam, how about trying some sweet-scented osmanthus pastries made by the kitchen?"
Su He tried a small piece and thought it was pretty good.
"Is the Lord in the study? Send him some to try."
Pei Xia pursed her lips and smiled: "Madam, why are you so reserved? Anyway, you stay at Qinfang Residence every night, so why worry about not being able to taste it?"
"You're being frivolous again!"
Someone outside the courtyard came to report the news, saying that it came from Li's mansion.
Su He hurriedly called her in to report, only to find out that after Liu Qiuqiu was taken to Li's house, she disappeared before she could be interrogated.
"Do you know where she went?"
"I don't know, but the Li Mansion is looking for someone now with great fanfare."
Su He understood: "Okay, leave now and continue to pay attention to the news."
"Yes."
After the spy left, Pei Xia couldn't help but ask, "Did Aunt Liu escape?"
He keeps claiming that he is innocent during the day, but his true colors are revealed at night.
Su He said: "Even if she denies it, she can't deny the connection after Lu Yunqing wakes up."
It seems that little guy Lu Yi is looking for someone.
Liu Qiuqiu, ah Liu Qiuqiu, this escape will prove your guilt.
Su He looked outside the yard and saw the lanterns hanging on the beams swaying in the wind.
She didn't know what she was thinking about, and suddenly ordered, "Pack up the remaining osmanthus cakes. I have to go meet someone."
"Madam, aren't you going to leave some for adults to eat?" Pei Xia asked.
Su He smiled and said, "I'll go to the pastry shop and buy some for him tomorrow."
"Listen to my lady."
The wind and rain came quite suddenly at night.
Su He put a cape on his shoulders and followed the carriage all the way to the dungeon. After giving some money to the jailer at the door, he was allowed to pass. Calculating the time, in two days, it would be the day of Lu Yanxiu's interrogation.
After entering the dungeon, he walked along the dim path, went down a few steps, turned two corners, and finally arrived at Lu Yanxiu's cell door.
After not seeing him for a few days, he had a scruffy beard and looked much more haggard, and his prison uniform looked dirty.
Seeing Su He, Lu Yanxiu's eyes lit up, and he quickly climbed up from the haystack, holding the cell door with both hands, and said excitedly: "You framed me, right? It was you!"
"If you think so, there's nothing I can do about it."
Su He covered her nose lightly, as if she was a little disgusted by the smell on him.
At that time, Lu Yanxiu stayed out all night long. At that time, Liu Qiuqiu's affair had not been exposed yet. Su He just thought that he was addicted to fireworks, so she asked a few more questions and got the same answer.
"Su He! If you don't want to divorce me, just say so directly! Why do you have to go around in circles to embarrass me and the Lu family after the divorce?"
Thinking about how the Lu family's fortune had taken a sharp turn for the worse since Su He left the house, and now that he was in prison and the prince was about to try him in person, Lu Yanxiu was furious because he couldn't get away.
Su He smiled and said sarcastically, "A person like you who is rotten to the core, even a dog wouldn't even smell it if you were thrown on the street, right? Don't flatter yourself."
"you!"
"I came here today because of our friendship in the past, and I'm kind enough to give you some food." Su He side-glanced, and Pei Xia immediately took out the osmanthus cake from the food box. There was no table in the prison, so they had to put the osmanthus cake on the ground.
Lu Yanxiu lowered his head and was visibly stunned when he saw the familiar pastries. Her voice continued to reach his ears: "You haven't eaten this year's osmanthus cakes yet? Try it. I remember that the pastry shop in the east of the city was where you often met with Liu Qiuqiu. Every time you went there, you would stay for half a day and then bring me some cooled osmanthus cakes back."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanxiu raised his eyes, with surprise in his eyes.
He and Qiuqiu hid it very well and no one noticed. How could Su He know?
Su He bent down, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake, handed it to his mouth, and smiled faintly.
Lu Yanxiu hesitated for a moment, moved a little closer, and opened his mouth.
The osmanthus pastry slipped from his mouth and fell to the ground.
Su He pretended to be inconvenient: "Oops, my hand slipped."
Lu Yanxiu gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few words: "You insulted me?"
"You're a prisoner, so what if I humiliate you?" Pei Xia interrupted. She really couldn't understand, how could this man be so arrogant even though he's already in jail?
Su He looked at him quietly, her lips moved slightly, and asked, "Have you ever regretted being with Liu Qiuqiu?"
Hearing this, Lu Yanxiu thought that she was still attached to him. His eyes fell carefully on the figure opposite him, and he suddenly recalled the first time they met by the moat.
At that time, Su He's eyes were like a clear pond, shining and charming.
At this moment, Su He, who was standing in front of him, had a delicate and clear face with a hint of mature charm, and an elegant and noble temperament. When she stared at him, her eyes were light and calm, which was very different from before.
Lu Yanxiu raised his chin slightly and replied proudly: "Qiqi has given birth to my children and has made great contributions. In my heart, her position is indeed far higher than yours."
If she had known that he would answer like this, Su He's beautiful eyebrows would relax, the corners of her lips would curl, and she asked in a gentle tone: "Why are you so sure that the child she gave birth to must be yours?"
"What do you mean?"
"You are in prison, with no news and no one to tell you. I'm afraid you don't know that the Lu Mansion is in a mess now?" She looked at Lu Yanxiu's stunned expression and suddenly felt refreshed.
"Qiqi? What did you do to her?" He suddenly became excited.
"I am just a woman, what can I do to her? She caused Yun Qing to fall and give birth to a dead baby. She ran away because she was afraid of being held accountable by the Li family."
Su He deliberately slowed down his speech until the last word fell, as if he was gently handing over a handful of dense needles, waiting to see Lu Yanxiu's reaction.
He was indeed shocked and denied it repeatedly: "Qiqi is the most gentle and has a very good relationship with Yunqing, how could she frame her?"
