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

Chapter 199 Lu Ziyu

Lu Jing looked determined and said in a resolute voice: "I am loyal to the country!"

Su Qingwan secretly sneered in her heart, thinking that he looked so fake, but his acting was so realistic. After dinner, the two of them were busy on the warm bed, Lu Jing was reading the official letter presented by the Jinyiwei, and Su Qingwan was holding a book. The two of them occasionally talked a few words, and such a warm atmosphere made people feel warm.

Su Qingwan knew in her heart that it would be futile to ask further, as Lu Jing would not say anything more.

She also had a vague idea about the eldest princess's affairs. She knew that Lu Jing and the emperor were planning a big chess game, and in this chess game, all of them, including the chess players, were just chess pieces.

"We were originally scheduled to get married in March. Is it still going according to plan?" Lu Jing asked softly.

He originally planned to send Su Qingwan away from Kyoto, but who could have expected that after he left, the situation would change dramatically. Su Qingwan figured it out herself and decided to stay and deal with the emperor. With her intelligence, she would be able to cover up the poison that the eldest prince had been poisoned with. Now, there are only two months left before their original wedding date.

"My brothers should be rebelling soon. In half a month, the news will probably reach Kyoto. It's not appropriate to get married at this time, right?" Su Qingwan lowered her eyes slightly. Under the light, her fair face looked hazy and soft.

Lu Jing's voice was gentle, almost coaxing: "Those who should rebel should rebel, and those who should get married should get married. The two are not in conflict, okay?" "What nonsense are you talking about?" Su Qingwan just felt a headache.

She knew Lu Jing's persistence, but she still had a big problem in her mind, that is, her identity as Lu Jing's sister-in-law. How should she marry Lu Jing? Should she wear Xiao Jiu's face for the rest of her life? This was obviously impossible.

Lu Jing had known that she was wearing a mask. If one day he could not help but be curious and saw her true face and found out that she was his sister-in-law, that scene, as Qingyun said, would probably scare him to death. Su Qingwan felt horrified just thinking about it. This relationship was originally a calculation, and the two were about to go their separate ways.

"The emperor has granted you a marriage, so you can only marry me!" Lu Jing had made up his mind and was determined to marry Su Qingwan.

"Lu Jing, you know that I am not the real Princess of Southwest. I am just the adopted daughter of the royal family." Su Qingwan tried to explain.

"An adopted daughter is also a princess. I want to marry you as a person, not the princess of the southwest." Lu Jing had wanted to plan the wedding a long time ago, and his family had already started preparations.

He added: "The Emperor has no objection to our marriage."

"Does the emperor know my true identity?" Su Qingwan asked. Lu Jing shook his head. In the eyes of the emperor, Su Qingwan was just the Princess of Southwest County, and he didn't know her true identity at all. If the emperor knew the truth, it would probably cause a big disturbance. In this way, getting married was not a good choice for Su Qingwan.

Let everything take its course.

"Let's wait until everything is settled!" Su Qingwan thought to herself. When everything is settled, it will be time for her to leave Kyoto.

After all, she couldn't live with Xiao Jiu's face all her life. So many people in Beijing had seen her sister's appearance, and she was Lu Jing's eldest sister-in-law. In this life, she and Lu Jing were destined to be apart. This was a reality she had long recognized.

Lu Jing was keenly aware of Su Qingwan's low mood and thought she was just worried about the situation in the southwest. He knew that the rebellion in the southwest would be a carefully arranged trap, but he really didn't understand what Su Qingwan was worried about. He wanted to get to the bottom of it, but Su Qingwan kept her lips tightly shut and stopped talking, so he had no choice but to give up.

After midnight, there were sudden thunders in the sky, and rain and snow fell heavily.

Thunder and lightning always make people feel irritable and uneasy. Su Qingwan never likes thunderstorms. Whenever there is such weather, she can't help but think of the night when Huainan was exterminated. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep well. On such nights, she would always stay awake until dawn. Lu Jing also noticed Su Qingwan's irritability, and he walked over quietly. The night pearl on the bedside emitted a faint glow. In this dim and ambiguous light, Su Qingwan was irritable and sat up suddenly.

"Can't sleep well?" Lu Jing slowly sat down on the edge of the bed.

Su Qingwan was uneasy, hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Can you help me kill someone?"

A thunderstorm like this is the best time to kill people.

"Who to kill?" Lu Jing asked softly.

"Liu Jiang!" Su Qingwan gritted her teeth and said the name.

Hearing this, Lu Jing lowered his eyes slightly, and his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly. Liu Jiang was his master in Jinyiwei.

In the Jinyiwei, there is a clear hierarchy, and newcomers will recognize a master when they first join. Lu Jing is gifted, efficient, and determined to climb up, so he was spotted by Liu Jiang at first sight and became Liu Jiang's apprentice.

However, the master that the Jinyiwei worshipped was not the kind of master in the traditional sense of "once a teacher, a father for life". Although there was friendship between the master and the apprentice, it was not deep.

Liu Jiang also knew that Lu Jing was too powerful and he could not compete with him, so he had been sick for a long time. Now the entire Jinyiwei was almost under the control of Lu Jing, and he had already purged most of Liu Jiang's forces.

He knew in his heart why Su Qingwan wanted to kill Liu Jiang. It was Liu Jiang who led the Jinyiwei to attack the Huainan Palace, and that day was also a night with thunder and rain. As for how Su Qingwan survived, he also knew Liu Jiang's character. He always cut the grass and rooted out, leaving no one alive. Not to mention the people in the Huainan Palace, even a chicken could not be spared, but Su Qingwan survived.

"Okay!" Lu Jing agreed without hesitation.

Su Qingwan looked at him in surprise, her long hair drooping slightly, and she looked a little sickly.

In the dim and ambiguous light of the bed, her eyes were moist and her heart was bitter. She said, "He is your master!"

"I know!" Lu Jing said calmly, "Can you wait a little longer? The emperor has wanted his life for a long time, but there are some things that he still needs to accomplish. When the time comes, you can personally send him off, okay?"

Let her avenge this blood feud with her own hands, and perhaps she won't have to toss and turn in sleep on such rainy days in the future.

When Su Qingwan heard this, her eyes became hot and she threw herself into Lu Jing's arms.

Lu Jing, Lu Ziyu, how can you be so nice!
Lu Jing patted her shoulder gently. Although he could not empathize with her pain, he could accompany her through the long night.

"Xiao Wu, I will be with you from now on, don't be sad!"
