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

Chapter 107 Digging Graves
Xinyue County Lady said, "This is a different time. Young Madam and I may be sisters-in-law in the future. How could I bully Young Madam?"

Su Qingwan, "..."

She remembered what Chen Lanzhu had said, that Princess Xinyue was infatuated with Lu Jing and would not marry anyone else.

Chen Lanzhu blurted out, "You are the one who is engaged to Lu Jing?"

"Lu Jing is engaged?" Xinyue County Lady's expression changed instantly. "Whose girl is he engaged to?"

Su Qingwan, "..."

Before she could stop him, Chen Lanzhu quickly told everyone about Lu Jing's engagement. Su Qingwan sighed and said, "County Lady, Sanlang said he is engaged, but I don't know whose girl he is engaged to."

"You are his eldest sister-in-law, how come you don't know whose daughter he is engaged to?"

"I'm not familiar with Sanlang, and my family has never mentioned any engagement, so I really don't know." Su Qingwan could only answer perfunctorily.

Princess Xinyue originally wanted to make friends with Su Qingwan, but after learning that Lu Jing was engaged, she left in anger.

Chen Lanzhu covered her mouth and asked, "Did I get into trouble?"

"You really can't hide things!" Su Qingwan couldn't bear to scold her, "Forget it, whoever has the peach blossom should go and stop it, it's not us who are upset."

Chen Lanzhu felt a little ashamed and said, "I will definitely keep my mouth shut in the future."

Princess Xinyue left the table early, and the wife of the Marquis of Anping had also left. The table was much quieter. Su Qingwan was a distinguished guest of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, so others did not dare to speak rudely.

Although the peony season has passed, the garden is still filled with beautiful flowers.

Su Qingwan came to the Marquis's residence to see her aunt. Her wish was fulfilled. She drank two cups of tea and then stood up to say goodbye. Chen Lanzhu was reluctant to let her go, "Mother wanted to keep you for dinner."

"I live far away from Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. I received your invitation today and anticipated what you wanted to do, so I came to keep the appointment. This will not happen again. If you have anything else, please leave a message at Nanfeng Tower."

Chen Lanzhu felt a little aggrieved, "I know."

After leaving Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, Su Qingwan went to Xie's Trading Company. Manager Xie smiled and showed her the profit for the past month, which increased by 30%. Manager Xie was very happy.

The new rules formulated by Su Qingwan were very attractive to the shop owners. The more capable they were, the more they would get. Shopkeeper Xie could get several times more money in a month. He became more respectful to Su Qingwan and racked his brains to implement Su Qingwan's strategy.

"Give 10% of the profit to the Jinyiwei!" Su Qingwan said, "We have been using the name of Jinyiwei to avoid many difficulties in the past month. As a favor, we will send them money. It will be very convenient for us to do business in the future."

"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, young lady. You don't need to tell me. I know what to do."

Shopkeeper Xie felt that it would be okay to give him an extra 10% of the surplus. They were indeed using the banner of the Embroidered Uniform Guard to bully others. Su Qingwan checked the accounts at the company. Luzhu asked her if she wanted to go to Nanfeng Tower for dinner, but Su Qingwan was not very active.

Lu Zhu took people to Nanfeng Tower to pack her meals. The merchant company recently got a very good blood jade with excellent quality. It was a tribute from Loulan to Dayuan. The merchant secretly left a piece for the caravan to take back to Kyoto.

Su Qingwan couldn't let it go, and Shopkeeper Xie had no intention of selling it. He believed that this piece of jade could be used to grind a jade bracelet for Su Qingwan. Her sister loved blood jade the most, and on her birthday, her eldest brother gave her a very beautiful blood jade.

She was enjoying the scenery and missing her sister when Qingqing ran in, panting.

"Girl, girl, something bad has happened..." She almost ran out of breath, "Li Xueying went to dig a grave."

"What graves are you digging?"

"Dig the girl's grave!"

The blood jade in Su Qingwan's hand almost fell to the ground. Li Xueying went to dig her sister's grave!
Xie Zhaolan was buried in Sanlinzhuang in the suburbs. To the east was the Lu family cemetery, where several generations of the Lu family were buried. As the eldest daughter-in-law, Xie Zhaolan was buried on a small slope at the westernmost end of the cemetery.

After Su Qingwan returned to replace Xie Zhaolan, Lin said that since Zhaolan was not dead, she could not be buried in the ancestral tomb. She wanted to move the tomb, but it was unlucky to have a tombstone erected while the person was still alive. Later, Lin went to a fortune teller, and Su Qingwan bribed the Taoist priest to say that if the person was not dead but the tombstone was already erected, it would collide with the living and affect the life span, so Lin never mentioned moving the tomb.

Su Qingwan didn't want Lin to disturb her sister, so she pretended not to know.

One day she would move her sister's remains back to Huainan and bury them with her family, but now is not the best time. Moreover, Lu Jing is shrewd and if he suspects her identity one day and touches her sister's grave, and she finds out that the grave has been dug up, her identity will be exposed.

She secretly came to pay tribute to Xie Zhaolan. After the tribute, she cleaned up the traces and swore in front of Xie Zhaolan's grave that she would take her home.

Unexpectedly... Li Xueying came to dig graves!
Damn it!
When Su Qingwan arrived at Sanlinzhuang, three men were digging a grave with shovels. Xie Zhaolan's tombstone was damaged, and since the grave had been flattened, they were digging a coffin.

“Stop!” Su Qingwan’s eyes were red and her heart was broken. Her sister…she would not be at peace even after her death. “All of you stop it!”

Li Xueying was as thin as a paper figure. She was supported by her maid Chuntao. She was weak and pale, and would fall down if the wind blew. She was still dressed in gold and jade, but it seemed that she was wearing a noble coat, but the inside was still rotten.

Several middle-aged men stopped, looked at each other, and then looked at Li Xueying.

Li Xueying was surrounded by four palace guards. She smiled with a malicious smile, "Xie Zhaolan... No, I don't even know your real name, you are anxious."

Li Xueying was filled with hatred. "The Emperor sentenced me, saying that I killed someone's wife and stole someone else's husband. I was extremely vicious. I was humiliated and tortured in the Shenjie Division. I lived a life worse than death. It was all because of you. They all said that I was crazy. You were clearly still alive, but they kept saying that they would kill you. I'm not crazy. I remember very clearly that I killed Xie Zhaolan and destroyed her face. When I collected the body, I sent people to confirm that Xie Zhaolan was definitely in the grave. What kind of monster are you?"

"What do you want?" Su Qingwan almost bit her gums with hatred. Li Xueying looked like she would not live long. Lu Jing did not lie to her. She had thought that since she would not live long, she would not dirty her hands. Unexpectedly... Li Xueying wanted to leave early!
"If the person in the tomb is really Xie Zhaolan, you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor. Even if I die, I will drag you to be buried with me. Anyway, I won't live long." Li Xueying was supported and slowly walked towards Su Qingwan. "Ever since you came back to life and returned to the Lu family, my life has been ruined. Even if I die, I want to die with understanding!"

"You have never lived a clear life, and now you want to die with a clear mind before you die. It's ridiculous." Su Qingwan said, "I warn you, if you insist on digging the grave, I want you to go to see the King of Hell today."

"Hahahahaha, why do you, a powerless woman, kill me?" Li Xueying was extremely arrogant. "How dare you kill me?"

She paused and said in a deep voice, "We'll know if the person buried in the tomb is Xie Zhaolan once we dig it out. In order to get her to give up, I sent someone to hit her carriage. Xie Zhaolan's right leg was broken. You can pretend to be Xie Zhaolan, but bones won't lie. If there are signs of broken bones, the person in the coffin must be Xie Zhaolan. You are guilty of deceiving the emperor, and you must die!"
