Chapter 105 Provocation
Su Qingwan was not shy and bowed. Several people bowed back. Some of them were proud of their status and did not take Su Qingwan seriously, but Su Qingwan did not care.

"It is quite strange that the eldest lady of the Lu family came back to life."

Some people were whispering to each other, and no one knew what they were talking about. They were all laughing. The laughter was not malicious, but it was definitely not kind either.

"Mrs. Lu, we are all very curious about your adventure of falling off the cliff. Would you mind telling us about it?"

Chen Lanzhu was very protective of her sister. "What is there to say? If you are so curious, go ask your cousin. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to go out and embarrass myself if you coveted someone else's husband and killed his wife."

"You!" The girl who spoke was furious, but she knew that it was not a good idea to go against Chen Lanzhu in Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, so she could only endure it.

"Mrs. Lu is just as bad as you. She caused her husband to lose his job. How can she have the nerve to go out and socialize?"

"My husband committed the crime of murdering his wife, and the emperor ruled that he was stripped of his official position. I did nothing wrong, so why can't I go out and socialize?" Su Qingwan asked calmly, "I was killed, but I luckily escaped with my life. Is it my fault?"

Others dared not respond casually. A wealthy man who had been sitting in the courtyard and had not spoken a word said, "Mrs. Lu is right. If anyone dares to say anything bad about you, you can hope that she will find an ungrateful person like Mr. Lu."

Su Qingwan turned her head and saw the noble lady wearing a purple dress, with a heroic look between her eyebrows. Chen Lanzhu secretly told her, "This is General Chen's wife."

Su Qingwan also remembered that Lu Yunshu's sister Lu Yunyan married the second son of the Chen family, and this noble lady was Lu Yunyan's mother-in-law.

Since they are relatives, it is reasonable and proper to pay a visit.

Su Qingwan walked to the pavilion and bowed to Madam Chen.

Madam Chen smiled and waved, "Zhaolan, I haven't seen you for a long time. You seem to be more calm and composed. After a great disaster, there will be great blessings. Don't pay attention to other people's gossip."

"Yes, Zhaolan understands!" Su Qingwan responded with a smile.

General Chen holds a high status among the military generals. A man's status determines his wives' status at the banquet. With Madam Chen's protection, no one dares to embarrass Su Qingwan.

The wife of the Marquis of Anping stared at her back with hatred, her gums almost broken, thinking of her dying daughter at home. The imperial physician said that her daughter's miscarriage had damaged her foundation and could not be cured.

The daughter she had nurtured since childhood was almost dying.

The person who harmed her was in high spirits. He did not hide in the mansion and dared not see anyone, but attended the banquet openly. How could Lady Anping not hate him?

But the warning from Earl Anping was still ringing in their ears. Although the Li family retained the title and did not lose the emperor's favor, the power of the Li family was not as great as before. Because of Li Xueying, the third daughter of the Li family lost her marriage, and her sisters-in-law also blamed them for condoning Li Xueying's crimes and bringing harm to the family.

Madam Li had a hard time. Although Marquis Ningyuan sent her an invitation, he was certain that the wife of the Marquis Anping would not come to the banquet. Everyone in the Li family had to behave themselves, and Madam Li did not dare to do anything to Su Qingwan at the banquet.

There is nothing I can do except hate.

Whenever she had the slightest thought of revenge she would think of her sons.

Her daughter is dying, but her sons are in the army and have bright futures that cannot be ruined.

Su Qingwan also noticed the gaze of Lady Anping, which was indifferent and calm.

Princess Xinyue, the eldest daughter of Prince Sheng'an, is a person who likes to watch the fun and take no pains. "Madam Anping, why didn't Li Xueying come? I heard that she is back from the Shenjie Division."

The girl next to Xinyue covered her mouth and smiled, "Li Xueying loves to be the center of attention at the flower viewing banquet. Without her, it would be a lot less fun."

Lady Anping felt extremely humiliated, but she couldn't say anything.

"Madam Li, is Xueying okay? We grew up together, so I'm still worried. I wanted to visit her a few days ago, but unfortunately I didn't see her." "She was punished for so many days in the Shenjie Division, and she also had a miscarriage. It will take a year or two to recover. I know a few experts who specialize in treating women's symptoms. Madam Li, do you need me to introduce them to you?"

"Li Xueying's reputation has been ruined. Even if she is cured, she dare not show her face in public. She should be well taken care of at home for the rest of her life. The Anping Earl has a rich family background and is not afraid of raising an abandoned daughter."

……

Lady Anping was so angry that she was shaking. "That's enough. I know you all have bad intentions. Xueying made a mistake and learned her lesson. Why do you have to keep pursuing her?"

"Madam Anping, we care about Li Xueying, please don't worry too much." The girl smiled sweetly. Relying on her family background, she was not afraid of the Li family.

Xinyue County Lady smiled and said, "Li Xueying has been domineering in the capital for many years. Madam Li has long been warned to discipline her well so that she won't make a big mistake. You indulged your beloved daughter and ignored her. Now she has ended up like this. Who can you blame?"

"It's terrible that she wants to kill a married man just because she likes him." The young girl and the Princess Xinyue echoed each other. Lady Anping was so angry that her heart ached dully. She covered her chest and her face turned pale.

Madam Chen said, "Li Xueying made a mistake and has been punished by His Majesty. You should also be more virtuous and forgive others when you can."

The ladies all looked embarrassed.

Xinyue County Lady said, "It's none of our business, we are just discussing it casually. Madam Lu is the happiest person, right?"

Su Qingwan smiled faintly, "Yes."

Everyone, "..."

They also didn't expect Su Qingwan to be so straightforward. If they were softer in nature, they would probably say some polite words to offset the grudges, but Su Qingwan didn't want to be a decent person.

"It's a great revenge. No matter who it is, how can they not be happy?"

Xinyue County Lady laughed and said, "She is straightforward. I like Madam Lu's personality!"

A young girl who had been friends with Li Xueying complained, "Mrs. Lu, you are not dead, and Xueying has learned her lesson. She lost her child and was kicked out of the Lu family, and she has also learned her lesson. Why are you so aggressive?"

Chen Lanzhu was so angry that she almost died, what an idiot!

This idiot is her relative.

Su Qingwan smiled and said, "What a kind-hearted girl, compared to you, I am indeed too calculative."

"Of course you care. Li Xueying lost her child and her reputation, but you are still alive and well."

"What if I die? No one knows about my injustice. My body is still warm, and my husband and my enemy are still in their bridal chamber, loving each other till old age. Who will help me get justice?" Su Qingwan asked with a smile, "You are so kind, will you help me get justice?"

"I……"

"Zhou Huan, shut up!" Chen Lanzhu frowned, "How can you be so stupid? You are so loving, go to the palace and kneel down to beg for mercy for Li Xueying!"

Miss Zhou also realized that her words had been inappropriate and her face turned pale.

Chen Lanzhu pulled Su Qingwan out of the garden and said, "Come on, I'll take you somewhere else to play."

Su Qingwan was far away, but could still feel a hateful gaze behind her. She turned around and saw Lady Anping staring at her hatefully. Su Qingwan thought to herself that if Lady Anping was smart, she would have known to cut off her arm to survive.

Don't mess with her!
