Chapter 132 I'll Give You a Ride
Not long after Baili Jun left, Zhaoyang also came out of the Zijin Palace.
Su He saw that her face was calm, so he didn't ask any more questions in front of all the palace servants. After they left the palace, he heard her looking at the curtain and muttering, "What a wolfish ambition..."
Su He didn't know what the two discussed in the hall, but he guessed it correctly.
The Guo family must be within the conjecture.
After returning to the Princess's Mansion, Zhaoyang felt tired and went straight back to the bedroom to rest.
Nanny Tang presented the freshly cooked pigeon meat to Su He and said with a smile, "Young Madam, please try it. We stewed the pigeon for two hours this afternoon, and even the bones are soft."
"it is good."
Su He did not refuse Nanny Tang's kindness, and sat in the Spring Pavilion outside the eaves and ate a bowl of pigeon clean.
"It tastes good, doesn't it? I'll ask the kitchen to stew soybean pork trotters tomorrow. That's the most nourishing thing!"
Su He rubbed her full stomach, feeling the enthusiasm of Nanny Tang feeding her, and forced a smile: "Mammy, actually I have learned before that you can eat normally when you are pregnant, and you don't need to eat too much..."
"Oh, Madam, think about it carefully. You are next to the Princess. If you gain weight, it's fine. But if you lose weight, when the Master comes back, won't we be the only ones to blame?"
"It's not that serious..."
"Okay, Madam, don't think too much and just focus on taking care of your baby. The kitchen has to go through the nourishing recipes for pregnant women several times a day. On the one hand, it has to ensure the absorption of the fetus, and on the other hand, it also has to consider the health of Madam." Nanny Tang was beaming with joy as she spoke.
Su He asked in surprise: "A nourishing diet for pregnant women?"
"Yes, Imperial Doctor Zhang has done research for a long time and has written a recipe book specifically for pregnant women. We have several copies in our house!"
Su He pursed his lips and smiled.
I didn't expect that Imperial Physician Zhang had such talent.
Qingyun, who had just returned from outside, did not see Su He in Tingxue Garden. He looked for him for a while before he finally saw him.
"What's up?"
Qingyun said: "Lu Zhili went to find the Guo family."
Su He was heading towards Tingxue Garden, and was not surprised to hear his words. Lu Zhili was rejected by Baili Feng, so he would naturally be anxious to find a new family to accept him. He must have a chance to turn things around.
"He went to see the Guo family and said something..."
"What?"
Qingyun hesitated, and when he saw that no one was around, he spoke in a low voice: "He told the Guo family that the body of Master Lu that the eldest princess found was a fake."
Mr. Lu Er is Lu Zhiping, the eldest princess' husband.
Su He paused, his face suddenly darkening: "Did you listen carefully?"
"There is absolutely no way to go wrong! The southeastern area full of gold has long been a gold-collecting land for the Guo family's side branch. Let's not talk about previous years, but this year, only a tiny bit of the disaster relief money fell into the hands of the disaster victims, who couldn't even afford to buy steamed buns. The rest went into the pockets of the Guo family. Lu Zhili wanted to use this matter to threaten the eldest princess with the Guo family, asking her to return to Beijing and not touch their soup."
It turned out to be the case.
The Guo family's side clans have extensive roots in the southeast region, and a portion of the dirty silver they earn every year would be sent to the capital, which is equivalent to a bribe.
Now the General Zhenbei is reluctant to return to the capital after completing his mission of conquering the frontier, and is also waiting to see the news from here.
Thinking of the danger Lu Huaihe was in this time, Su He felt like a stone was hanging in her heart.
"Qingyun, please help me find someone and bring him to the dungeon."
She had to finish her personal affairs as soon as possible, and she also wanted to help Lu Huaihe.
Before that, the bitch must pay the price!
Qingyun said yes and started to handle the matter immediately.
Su He thought for a while, then turned and went to the Second Prince's Mansion.
In the dungeon.
Liu Jinglei's case has just concluded.
It was an indisputable fact that he killed Lu Yunqing. Under the pressure from the Li family, the government office dared not shirk its responsibility and after convicting him, it immediately took him to the Meridian Gate for beheading.
The knife rises and the head falls.
When Liu Qiuqiu heard the news brought by the jailer, her eyes were swollen from crying.
"Your tears are in vain for a brother who has no blood relationship with you."
Su He's voice sounded at an inopportune time.
Liu Qiuqiu hurriedly wiped away her tears, not wanting to show her failure in front of her.
But the fact is that she failed miserably.
"What are you doing here?" There was a hint of crying in Liu Qiuqiu's voice.
Su He raised his brows and looked at her, and that once extremely charming face had lost its charm at this moment.
It seemed as if the scene of her entering the palace with her pregnant belly and chest held high was still in front of her eyes.
"Since we have met before, I will give you a ride."
Liu Qiuqiu said in a trembling voice: "What... do you mean? Are you going to kill me?"
She suddenly laughed crazily.
Lu Yi and Lu Jiao were frightened by the sudden laughter, and they huddled in a corner, hugging each other.
"You want to kill me? What can you do? Just because you married an old man, don't think you can cover the sky with one hand!" Liu Qiuqiu cursed angrily, and she wanted to pounce on Su He and skin him alive through the prison door!
She cursed Su He for marrying an old man, but deep down, she was so envious of her.
Although the Su family is not a prominent family, it is also an official residence. Su He was born into a family of luxury. She has lived for more than ten years without any grievance or touching any pots and pans. Even when she goes out, there are six maids and servants following her to protect her safety.
But what about Liu Qiuqiu?
Her heartless parents disliked her because she was a girl and abandoned her after she was born, leaving her in the wilderness in the mountains, intending to let God take her life.
Fortunately, a hunting couple passed by and rescued her and adopted her as their daughter. However, because she had an older brother, Liu Qiuqiu lived a cautious and fearful life since she was a child. Before she reached the age of marriage, her adoptive father sold her to a local old man as his concubine for fifty taels of silver. After receiving the money, Liu Qiuqiu ran away secretly, traveled all the way to the capital, and found a living as a musician.
Unexpectedly, her adoptive father and his family came to find her. Under the coercion and inducement of her brother Liu Jinglei, Liu Qiuqiu could barely support the family. Later, Liu Jinglei married and had children, and the family became larger. Liu Qiuqiu could not earn enough by herself, so she hooked up with the generous Lu Yanxiu.
In the first few years of following him, money was thrown at her like it was free. Later, news came out that he was going to marry another woman. Liu Qiuqiu was afraid that her cash cow would be gone, so she thought about finding someone to have a child with, which led to the following events.
But looking at Su He again, she could not stand any grievance just because her husband had a mistress. Liu Qiuqiu was really disgusted!
But after the divorce, she married a powerful official. In terms of background and appearance, which one of them is not thousands of times better than Lu Yanxiu's?
The ten miles of red wedding dress on the wedding day alone is still envied by people even now.
Liu Qiuqiu's eyes were bloodshot and she couldn't help but question God.
Why is the world so unfair?
Su He listened quietly to her complaints one after another.
There was no ripple in my heart.
