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

Chapter 121 Confrontation
"I want to marry you." Lu Jing said in a deep voice, his eyes and figure covering her.

Su Qingwan lowered her eyes and stared absentmindedly at the night outside the railing. The weather was really cold, and it seemed even colder in the palace. There was not a trace of warmth at all.

Suddenly, a snowflake fell on the back of her hand. Her hands were frozen red and unconscious in the cold wind. The snowflake melted quickly, as if kissing her skin and turned into water again.

Su Qingwan hadn't noticed that the first snow of this year had arrived.

"Xiaowu, it's snowing."

Su Qingwan suddenly turned to look at him and asked in a lost voice, "What did you call me?"

"Xiaowu, isn't this your name?"

Su Qingwan's whole body was tense, veins were bulging, and she slowly hid her fists in her cloak. The soft animal fur wrapped around her frozen hands, creating a world of ice and fire.

"My name is Xiaojiu." Su Qingwan said word by word, "Li Xuejiu, the Grand Princess of the Southwest."

"When I was in the courtyard, although I was blind, I accidentally felt the name on the embroidered handkerchief. It was given by Xiaowu!"

Su Qingwan, "..."

"One night you had a nightmare and called out to your father, saving Xiaowu."

Su Qingwan's face was pale, her hand already touching the soft sword. She asked calmly, "I had a nightmare. What else did I say?"

"What are you afraid to say?"

Su Qingwan frowned and narrowed her eyes, "Are you cheating me?"

"You want to kill me?" Lu Jing seemed to see through her murderous intent. "You want to kill me just for a nightmare, Princess? You seem to be hiding a lot of secrets. But if you want to kill me, you must find a good time and stop being soft-hearted."

Su Qingwan always felt that his words were a little strange, but she couldn't put her finger on it. Suddenly, she thought of something, "Did your eyes...heal back then?"

She had suspected that Lu Jing's eyes had only been injured for a while and then recovered. Her disguise skills were not as sophisticated as Qingyun's, but she still changed her appearance and deliberately made a black mark on her cheek, because she suspected that Lu Jing's eyes had recovered and she didn't want Lu Jing to see her true appearance.

In fact, she also deliberately used her ugly appearance to scare Lu Jing away.

When Lu Jing became blind, the girl around him was gentle and kind, whose face he could not see clearly. She took great care of him and saved him in times of danger. She was his only support when he was in the dark, and it was inevitable that they would develop a sense of mutual support.

If the girl is beautiful, it would be a good story for him to marry her in exchange for saving her life. But if she is ugly, any feelings he has for her will be strangled in the cradle.

She did it on purpose!
Lu Jing chuckled. Su Qingwan leaned against the railing and saw his eyebrows curved with a smile. His smile was very bewitching. When she saw Lu Jing in trouble and dying, she didn't want to save him, but she was attracted by his looks. She thought it was a pity for such a handsome man to die on the roadside, so she felt pity for him and brought him back to the manor.

Normally, she wouldn't have so much kindness.

Lu Jing was blind in the past, but later regained his sight. The makeup of the girl in front of him really scared him. He also saw with his own eyes how Su Qingwan made the marks on her face uglier and uglier.

Unfortunately, she left without saying goodbye just a few days after he regained his sight. He never saw her again and he had no time to tell her. Although he had regained his sight at that time, his vision was blurry and he saw things as if through a layer of fog. He wanted to wait until he had fully recovered his sight before telling her.

Unexpectedly, someone came to look for her. Lu Jing accidentally heard the person asking her to kill him. She was shaken. Lu Jing could not tell Su Qingwan that he had recovered his sight. He did not even dare to sleep deeply, fearing that she would kill him in his sleep. Unexpectedly, she finally let him go and left without saying goodbye. "You are too worried." Lu Jing said lightly, "My eye injury left sequelae. Now sometimes I can't see clearly at night."

Su Qingwan remembered that after they fell off the cliff, Lu Jing seemed to have poor vision at night. He concealed it very well. She just noticed it but didn't think much about it.

She admitted that the person in the courtyard was her.

There was no point in denying it anymore, as Lu Jing would definitely investigate it thoroughly. In order to prevent her from finding out her true identity, Su Qingwan admitted it. He considered himself the Grand Princess of the Southwest.

Actually, it’s not wrong!
After she turned twelve, she began to act as the Grand Princess of the Southwest. Even in the mansion, she was the Grand Princess of the Southwest. She was one year older than Xue Jiu.

"Why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

"I left without saying goodbye and stayed to make a vow of eternal love with you? Who are you? I picked up a stray dog ​​on the roadside, with wounds all over its body, and I didn't reveal my identity. I am the princess of the southwest, and there is a world of difference between me and you. Life in the villa is boring, so I was joking with you and teasing you, but you took it seriously. How could Deputy Commander Lu be so easily deceived?" Su Qingwan smiled, as if she had seduced the heart of a good girl and then kicked her away, saying that she was not worthy of her status and that she was a jerk who should not dream of marrying up.

Lu Jing laughed, but he couldn't get angry at all. He looked at her charming eyes and said with a smile, "It's a lie, so what? Are you saying this to irritate me?"

"Aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry? You saved my life. I have no complaints whether you lied to me or killed me. If you hadn't saved me, I would have died on the roadside and I wouldn't even have the chance to feel happy or angry." Lu Jing didn't think from the bottom of his heart that the girl from the villa was lying to him.

He can still distinguish between true feelings and false intentions.

"Oh, you have such a good temper."

"Well, Princess, please get to know me better. I'm really kind."

Su Qingwan, "..."

He killed people without hesitation, but the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, who was known as the Jade-faced Yama, said that he was kind? What was the difference between this tiger pretending to be a cat?
Su Qingwan lost interest in chatting with him and turned to look at the sparse snow falling from the sky. It was the first snow, but the snow was very light.

Unlike the southwest, where it snowed in early November, the snow was very heavy and a layer of frost quickly formed on the ground. The next day, everything was covered in silver. She liked snowy days.

"Princess, the emperor has ordered you to come to the capital. He will definitely arrange a marriage for you. Whether you agree or not, you have to stay in the capital as a hostage. Think about what happened to the King of Huainan."

He no longer joked with Su Qingwan and specifically mentioned Huainan.

Today's King of Southwest is the former King of Huainan.

Although he is not as popular as the Prince of Huainan, and does not have the wholehearted loyalty of the generals, and he is also under the pressure of the eldest princess, the emperor is extremely suspicious. After all, the eldest princess is in the capital, and she is out of reach. No matter how many generals he trains, the emperor is worried that he will not be able to control them and they will all be subdued by the Prince of Huainan.

There was a very important reason why successive emperors allowed the King of Huainan to grow powerful. First, there was the imperial decree of Emperor Taizu, and no one dared to disobey it. Second, the King of Huainan was a king of the opposite sex, and the threat to the imperial power was not that great, unless he rebelled.

Rebellion would bring eternal infamy, so the King of Huainan would never take this path.

The King of the Southwest is different.

His surname is Li, and he is a direct relative of the emperor. He poses a greater threat to the emperor than the King of Huainan did back then.
