Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 101 Drunk
"Deputy Commander Lu? Which girl has the courage to marry him? Is she crazy?" Chen Lanzhu said, "Lu Feng is a hypocrite, and Lu Jing is a real ruthless person. But he really has a face that makes people dream about him. Do you know how many girls want to marry him? The sixth girl of Yongning Mansion, the eldest daughter of Prince Sheng'an, and the younger sister of Concubine Cheng all fell in love with him at first sight and wanted to ask the emperor to grant them marriage, but in the end they failed and nothing happened. Other women returned empty-handed and got engaged and married. The eldest daughter of Prince Sheng'an was unwilling to give up. She blocked the Jinyiwei Yamen and gave her a purse. She was not afraid of rumors at all. She also spread the word that she would not marry anyone but Lu Jing. If Lu Jing really got engaged, she would probably go crazy. She was a woman crazier than Li Xueying. No one in the capital dared to marry Lu Jing."

Su Qingwan frowned slightly. Lu Jing said they would get married in half a year, so how could they not be engaged yet?

Did he deceive her?

"Why do you care about his marriage?"

"No one cares about his marriage." Su Qingwan said, "They just want to know who is blind."

"Unless he is a princess, who would dare to marry him?" Chen Lanzhu touched her bulging belly, feeling satisfied. "Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you a good news. The emperor summoned the King of Southwest to return to Beijing for the New Year, and the imperial edict has begun to spread to the southwest."

Su Qingwan was slightly stunned. Her father was going to Beijing?

The King of Southwest is surnamed Li and is also a member of the Li clan. He is a childhood friend of the King of Huainan and the uncle of the current emperor. During the palace turmoil twelve years ago, the King of Southwest was the most powerful contender for the throne, and his mother was the favorite concubine of the late emperor. Although his fiefdom was not rich, it was close to Huainan, which was a trump card given to him by the late emperor.

He thought that even if the successor emperor wanted to take action against the King of Southwest, he would still have to take Huainan into consideration.

Unexpectedly, Huainan was the first to have trouble.

After the King of Huainan got into trouble, the Huainan lineage almost leaned towards the southwest. The King of Southwest raised the little princess and was able to win over the hearts of the people. Most of the King of Huainan's old ministers obeyed the King of Southwest.

Although the emperor was wary, he could not move to the southwest.

This was the first time he summoned the King of Southwest back to the capital in the twelfth year of his reign.

When the imperial edict reaches the southwest, will my father obey it?
Why did the Emperor summon the King of Southwest? If my father disobeyed the Emperor's order, would the Emperor dare to start a war? The border has relied on the Southwest for the past few years.

She didn't understand why the King of Southwest was summoned to the capital.

"Is the news reliable?"

"My father went to deliver the imperial edict in person. Do you think it's reliable?" Chen Lanzhu lowered her voice. "I saw the imperial edict secretly."

Su Qingwan burst into tears of gratitude, "Baozhu, thank you."

"Say it again, my name is Lanzhu. If you call me Baozhu again, I won't play with you anymore."

"Okay, okay, Lanzhu!"

Su Qingwan risked her life to accompany the gentleman until sunset. They drank two jars of wine. Chen Lanzhu drank so much that her steps were unsteady and she could hardly stand. Su Qingwan sent her to the carriage and then returned home.

The main gate of the Lu family was locked, so Su Qingwan's carriage went through the side door, which was on the side of the second house. It had to pass through Lu Jing's courtyard. Su Qingwan felt dizzy when she got off the carriage. As soon as she entered the door and pushed Lu Zhu away, she lay down and vomited all over the place.

"Madam, the eldest young master..." The maids in the mansion who were holding lanterns and heading to the kitchen were frightened. Their faces were filled with fear. They did not dare to stay and left in a hurry.

Qingqing was also frightened and tugged at Luzhu's sleeve, "..."

Luzhu finally understood why the maids were so frightened.

Su Qingwan vomited all over the two pots of top-quality peonies.

Although the flowering period has passed, the peony is still being cultivated, and it is Lu Jing's favorite Yaohuang.

Green Bamboo said, "Miss, the Third Young Master's Yao Huang Peony may be dying."

"Why do you want to die?"

"You spit into the pot." Lu Zhu looked at the mess in the pot with disdain, "The roots will probably be burned."

"Yaohuang Peony...it's okay!" Su Qingwan said drunkenly, patting her chest, "I have plenty of silver, I will compensate...him!" "Sister-in-law is really rich, two thousand silver, I will compensate her immediately." Lu Jing stood in the corridor at some point, there were two palace lanterns hanging in front of the porch, the light was swaying, sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

He seemed to have just taken a bath, and was only wearing a thin summer suit with a wide neckline, which vaguely revealed his muscular chest, and a jade belt tied around his waist. He seemed to know that his clothes were in disarray, so when Su Qingwan looked over, he deliberately straightened his collar.

The alcohol was rising up, making her lose all her rationality. The anger that Su Qingwan had held in the courtyard rolled up, "Your Yao Huang is not worth two thousand. Don't cheat me out of the money."

Luzhu wanted to pull her back, but failed, so she could only let her go crazy.

"Sister-in-law, are you going to default on your debt? Yao Huang in Beijing is worth a thousand taels. You can just send someone to ask and find out the price." Lu Jing stood on the steps, looking down at her.

He had a sensitive nose and could smell alcohol from a distance.

When his eldest sister-in-law came closer, she smelled even more drunk, her cheeks were white with a hint of pink, her eyes were moist, and the corners of her eyes were slightly red. When her eyes were slightly raised, she was smart and charming, as if accusing or angry, and she was as beautiful as a goblin in the mountains.

Su Qingwan smiled, "Your Yao Huang is not a rare treasure, it is only worth a hundred taels, while my Yao Huang... is only worth a thousand taels."

"Your Yao Huang?" Lu Jing said calmly, "Yao Huang in Jiangnan is the least valuable. How can your Yao Huang be worth a thousand taels?"

"..." Even though Su Qingwan was drunk, Huainan seemed to be a taboo word that she would never mention again in her life, "It's none of your business. I won't compensate you for the money!"

Luzhu supported her and said, "Girl, let's go back."

Su Qingwan didn't want to leave, so she pointed at Lu Jing and asked, "I asked other people, but I haven't heard that you're engaged. Are you lying to me?"

"How would anyone know that I'm engaged? If you want to know something, why don't you ask me?"

"Then tell me, who is the one you are engaged to?"

Lu Jing, "..."

Li An was eating melon seeds on the eaves. Master, tell me, who is your fiancé?

"You're lying to me."

Lu Jing said, "I didn't lie to you."

"You just lied to me." Su Qingwan had a splitting headache, "I hate liars the most."

"I also hate liars the most."

Su Qingwan stared at him for a moment, as if she was confused, or as if she had something to hide, and she said inexplicably, "You are angry, why are you angry?"

"You ruined my Yao Huang." Lu Jing said, "Pay me compensation."

"...You're so stingy." Su Qingwan snorted and said sarcastically, "If you're so stingy, can you afford the betrothal gift to marry a wife? You'll be laughed at."

"My fiancée doesn't like gold or silver."

"You are so naive. Who doesn't love gold and silver? They must be trying to trick you." Su Qingwan was dizzy, but she didn't forget to laugh, "A liar and a liar...a perfect match!"

Lu Jing, "..."

He seemed to be confused by anger and asked Lu Zhu, "How did you serve her and make her drink so much wine?"

The maids serving Su Qingwan all lowered their heads and dared not speak. They were so overwhelmed by Lu Jing's anger that they dared not breathe. They were puzzled. The eldest young master's wife was the young master's eldest sister-in-law, not his wife, so why was he angry?
