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

Chapter 129 Destined but not destined
Lu Jing waited for Su Qingwan in the villa for three days, but there was no trace of her. He packed up and left the villa to meet up with the Embroidered Uniform Guard and sent people to find out who the owner of the villa was.

The southwest is not the territory of the Jinyiwei, and it is very slow to find out information. For a while, they could not find out who the owner of the villa was. After all, it was hidden in the mountains, and the owner must be rich or noble. Passing hunters did not dare to spy on it casually. They only heard from several hunters that there was a woman coming in and out of the villa. Once a gangster saw a woman alone in the villa and wanted to do something improper, but he was taught a lesson and injured his hands and feet. It was extremely tragic. The farmers and hunters nearby did not dare to approach the villa again. Occasionally, there were rumors that the villa was the residence of mountain goblins.

Lu Jing was seriously injured in the southwest and had to return to Beijing with the Jinyiwei. At that time, his power was not that great and he had to obey Liu Jiang in everything, so he returned to Beijing in a hurry and did not investigate further. When he came to the southwest again, his status was different now, and he also sent people to keep an eye on the villa. Gradually, he finally found some clues and found the Southwest Palace.

He vaguely knew that this was the residence of the eldest princess of the southwest. He had seen the princess from afar when he was in the southwest. The dress she wore was very similar to the one he saw in the other courtyard. She loved the peony style very much, and her skirt had such exquisite embroidery.

Unfortunately, what he did in the southwest was related to the King of the Southwest, and he had no chance to come into contact with the princess, so he did not disturb her rashly and always met her from a distance.

She always wore a veil, so her face could not be seen clearly. Lu Jing appeared in front of her once, but she ignored him. Lu Jing thought, maybe the princess's leaving without saying goodbye was a euphemistic hint. She was of noble status, while he was unknown and had hidden his identity, never telling her the truth. They were worlds apart, and were strangers after leaving the villa. All the ambiguity, confession and ambiguous closeness were like a dream, and there was no trace left when she woke up.

He always wanted to ask the princess why she left without saying goodbye.

Su Qingwan didn't want to say something that might hurt her, so she told the truth, "I went to the market that day and received a letter from the palace saying that my brother was seriously injured on the battlefield. I hurried back home. My brother was in danger during those days, and I was so focused that I forgot about you in the villa. When I remembered to go back, you were gone."

Lu Jing poured her a glass of wine, which was brewed with osmanthus and had a low alcohol content.

"I'm blind and can't move around easily. You forgot me in the courtyard. Aren't you afraid that something might happen to me? If it's a sudden incident, you can send someone to let me know."

Su Qingwan propped her head up, thought for a moment, and said a heartbreaking truth, "I really forgot about you." She didn't mean it. It was five days later when she remembered her brother after he was out of danger.

Lu Jing had no expression on his face, just staring at her.

Su Qingwan thought to herself that she must have seen it wrong, as she actually saw a hint of grievance on Lu Jing's face.

"You are such a grown man, even if you were blind, you would not starve to death in the courtyard. Besides, your eyes had recovered by then, but you hid it from me. I could see it all."

There are some food and money in the villa, and Lu Jing has good living skills, so he will not die without people.

"Have you sent anyone to look for me?"

"No." Su Qingwan shook her head and lowered her eyes. In fact, it was not only because of her brother's injury that she did not send anyone to find Lu Jing, nor did she inquire about his news. She knew that she had some feelings for him but she rationally cut them off. There were more important reasons. She didn't want to tell Lu Jing, nor did she have to tell Lu Jing.

She and he... were never meant to be together.

There will be an update today. I've been a bit lazy during the Chinese New Year holiday.
