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

Chapter 104 Flower Banquet
Su Qingwan was numb, expressionless, "Lu Jing, think about your pitiful reputation, it's almost gone, so don't waste it like this."

"Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law. I am grateful." Lu Jing said, "Sister-in-law, eat slowly. I'm leaving first."

Su Qingwan was so angry that she had no appetite to eat. Lu Feng and Lu Jing came one after another to make trouble for her. Su Qingwan gave Lu Zhu a look and went into the house.

Luzhu told the maids to keep their mouths shut. If they dared to spread a word of what happened in Meilan Garden, they should not blame her for being cold-blooded.

The maids all responded in agreement, but no one dared to look up.

Luzhu brought Qingqing into the house, and Qingqing picked up the debris on the ground. Lu Jingying was drinking tea and broke a white porcelain teacup. Su Qingwan was pacing back and forth in the room.

She never left her things in the house. She would burn anything related to writing after reading it. She was not worried about Lu Jing being alone in the room. At most, he would take away some of her gold, silver and jewelry.

Lu Jing is not that kind of person.

He really could do it. Even if he hid on the beam, Lu Feng might not see him. He actually dared to stand at the door openly, as if he was deliberately letting Lu Feng see him.

"Lüzhu, what exactly does he want to do?" Su Qingwan was also confused. She was upset by Lu Jing's unconventional behavior. When did this start?
Lu Zhu said, "Lu Jing didn't care about the rumors, and the eldest son was crippled. They even fought in the ancestral hall, so they probably didn't care about the eldest son's eyes."

Su Qingwan thought to herself, Lu Jing and Lu Feng have been brothers for so many years, how could they fall out over one thing?
Lu Feng was furious at her nonsense that day, but Lu Feng never made things difficult for Lu Jing, and even did not question Lu Jing whether he had an affair with his eldest sister-in-law. When Lin asked him, he kept silent.

It's because of a man's self-esteem, and it also protects Lu Jing's reputation.

Why is Lu Jing so unscrupulous?

Even though he is a rebellious person who doesn't care about other people's opinions, they are brothers after all... uncle and sister-in-law. The moral principles are here. Who dares to really not care?
It started in the ancestral hall. After kneeling in the ancestral hall that day, Lu Jing's attitude changed.

why?
After being provoked by Lu Feng, he simply confirmed the crime. Why did he swear an oath in the ancestral hall? If he hadn't been provoked and confused, how could he have done such a thing?
He took one step at a time, as if on purpose.

Qingqing said, "Miss, the Third Young Master...won't really covet you, right?"

Su Qingwan got goosebumps and her heart was beating wildly. Did Lu Jing notice something? If not, how could he explain his unusual visits these days?
If he noticed something, would she test it again?
No, you can't try!
Maybe he was waiting for her to test him, and once he did, she would reveal her identity. But he clearly said that they were engaged and would get married in half a year. Su Qingwan had a splitting headache. What was going on?

"Don't talk nonsense. The Third Young Master is from a famous family after all. How could he do such a thing?" Lu Zhu said, "Does his reputation sound good? He is still a good person. He will be criticized for his whole life."

"The Third Young Master hasn't been home for ten days or half a month. It's not easy for the Second Madam and the Third Young Lady to see him. But we can see him every day during this period. He supports the young lady, has breakfast with her, and even brought silver to repay the young lady tonight. Why would he make a personal trip for such a thing? The Eldest Young Master still suspects that he is coveting the eldest sister-in-law. After the lanterns were lit, he came to Meilan Garden, which was already controversial." Qingqing didn't think she was making random guesses.

The third young master...the way he looked at the girl...

"It's just a coincidence, don't think too much about it." Su Qingwan couldn't convince herself with her words, but she could only keep her troops in place and not move unless the enemy moved, lest Lu Jing become more suspicious.

Su Qingwan couldn't sleep at night, and couldn't help but think of her relationship with Lu Jing in the southwest two years ago.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became! She really wanted to prepare a medicine that could make people lose their memories. After taking the medicine and losing their memories, maybe she wouldn't feel so bad, and she would be able to be ruthless when she wanted to kill Lu Jing in the future!
The next day, she sent Luzhu and Qingqing to inquire about Lu Feng's news. He fainted again, which would inevitably alarm the Lin family. It was said that Lu Jing also went to Fanghua Garden. No one knew what Lu Jing and Lu Feng talked about, but Lu Feng was bedridden.

Lu Zhu speculated maliciously, "Will the Third Young Master tell him that he really covets you?"

Su Qingwan, "..."

Then it’s time to hold Lu Feng’s funeral.

Lu Shaoqing and Lin didn't react much, especially Lin, who didn't care much about Su Qingwan after she recovered from her illness.

Su Qingwan lived in fear for several days, wary that Lu Jing would continue to test her or do something out of line. Who knew if things would turn out okay?

Lu Jing didn't come to make things difficult for her, and occasionally she could hear the sound of Lu Jing practicing martial arts in the training ground.

Su Qingwan thought to herself, is everything going to be so peaceful?
On this day, Chen Lanzhu sent her a visiting card, inviting her to attend the flower-viewing banquet at the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. Su Qingwan was disturbed by Lu Jing and felt very depressed at home, so she planned to go out to relax.

When Lu Yunxiu heard that they were going to Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, she wanted to go with Su Qingwan. Su Qingwan didn't like Lu Yunxiu's reckless personality and declined her request. Lu Yunxiu was so angry that she scolded her a few words, but Su Qingwan ignored her.

In front of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion, Chen Lanzhu was welcoming guests and waiting for her. When the Lu family's carriage arrived, Chen Lanzhu smiled and walked down the steps to greet her. "The women from all the mansions will be here today, and the wife of the Anping Marquis is here too. Just follow me and avoid her."

"Why is she here too?"

"My eldest sister-in-law is related to her family by marriage, so she sent a visiting card."

Su Qingwan didn't care. Li Xueying would not live long. The loss of her beloved daughter was already the biggest punishment for Lady Anping. Living in the pain of losing her daughter was the biggest punishment for her.

Su Qingwan followed Chen Lanzhu to the flower-viewing banquet. The flowers in the garden were in full bloom, colorful and splendid. The women in the family were dressed in gorgeous clothes, with swaying pearl hairpins, and they were more beautiful than the flowers.

After Chen Lanzhu brought Su Qingwan to the garden, many female relatives looked at her. Xie Zhaolan had a very good reputation in the eyes of the female relatives in Beijing. She was steady, generous, quiet and gentle. The Xie family also raised her as an official lady. She was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Even though some people did not like her family background in business, they had been on good terms with her in recent years.

However, the Lu family was a new noble family and not a prominent family. The status of the women Xie Zhaolan could make friends with was not very high. Many noble ladies were unwilling to lower their status to associate with Xie Zhaolan. Many women in the courtyard did not know Xie Zhaolan.

"Whose lady is this? She is so beautiful?" A noble lady asked curiously when she saw Su Qingwan with her hair in a bun, looking very noble.

"Madam Cheng, this is the famous wife of the eldest young master of the Lu family."

There was an eerie silence in the garden.

The women looked at each other, some with inquiry, some with curiosity, some with contempt, some with approval...all kinds of eyes were on her.
