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

Chapter 217 Escape
With careful treatment, Su Qingwan's injuries gradually improved.

Finally, the day came when she could walk again. Coincidentally, the emperor passed away on that day. Lu Jing felt sorry for Su Qingwan because her body had not yet fully recovered. He was afraid that she would be too tired to kneel for a long time during the complicated funeral ceremony, so he asked her to stay in the palace to rest. Su Qingwan sat quietly in the house, listening to the dull sound of the bell.

This bell sound is the death knell of the emperor's death, ringing again and again, as if drawing a full stop to the emperor's life.

Before his death, the emperor finally issued an edict of repentance, clearly admitting in black and white the injustice of Huainan and rehabilitating the Huainan clan.

Looking back on his path to becoming an emperor, it was like a reincarnation, starting with the Huainan case and ending with the Huainan case, which was a complete beginning and end. However, Su Qingwan did not have too many emotional fluctuations about the emperor's life and death. After all, what she was concerned about from beginning to end was the redress of Huainan. The day after the emperor's death, Su Qingwan left the palace.

Now that Lu Jing has become the regent, with tremendous power in his hands, she naturally no longer needs to be detained in the palace. Not only that, the emperor also specially gave her a prince's mansion, which is very close to Lu Jing's villa. Li An was overjoyed and personally took Su Qingwan to the prince's mansion.

"Princess, this mansion has been uninhabited for many years. Although the regulations are based on the prince level, it looks really desolate now. If you want to renovate it, don't worry. The Ministry of Works will send someone over in the next two days. If you have any ideas about the layout of the mansion, just tell them directly." Li An was in high spirits during this period. Lu Jing was rising rapidly, and as a quasi-confidant, he naturally rose with the tide. However, Li An always had a clear mind and knew what to say and what to do.

At the moment, Lu Jing was busy dealing with a bunch of complicated affairs such as the death of the emperor and the ascension of the new emperor to the throne. He was so busy that he was dizzy. He took the initiative to stay by Su Qingwan's side and take care of her with all his heart.

Su Qingwan strolled leisurely in the palace. The cold winter had gradually gone away, and the breath of early spring quietly spread. The garden of the palace was lush and green. Although the mansion had not been inhabited for a long time, the garden was well-maintained, with lush flowers and plants, full of vitality. Su Qingwan fell in love with this garden at first sight.

Soon, the Ministry of Works sent the blueprints and a detailed renovation plan. In fact, the architectural regulations of this type of prince's mansion are similar, and there is nothing new. Su Qingwan was not interested in this, so she did not intervene.

Lu Jing, on the other hand, was so concerned that he specially had a large peony garden built, saying that it would be full of peonies. Su Qingwan looked at the plan and was a little amused and helpless.

Su Qingwan rested and recuperated in the mansion. During this period, rewards came in like a stream, and officials also came in one after another. The palace suddenly became very lively and bustling.

In the past, Su Qingwan was the best at handling this kind of affairs, but now that she had just recovered from a serious injury, she really didn't have the energy to do it. Fortunately, Li An was smart and capable, and took the initiative to take over these tasks.

He handled the trivial matters in the mansion in an orderly manner, and organized the account books clearly, which he presented to Su Qingwan. He even handed the key to the warehouse to her. It was clear that he treated her as the mistress of the palace.

When it was late at night and everything was silent, Qingyun put on the medicine and walked into the house quietly.

Su Qingwan had been sleeping very lightly because of her injuries. She woke up as soon as Qingyun entered the room. This medicine was prescribed by Doctor Fang. It was not until the emperor passed away that Su Qingwan learned that Doctor Fang was an old friend of Huainan and had been hiding his true identity. She still remembered the day when Huainan was rehabilitated. She accidentally saw the old doctor, Doctor Fang, crying secretly in the corner and burning paper money to commemorate the King of Huainan. Then she suddenly realized.

No wonder she was able to easily hide her identity and deceive Lu Jing when Lu Jing asked Doctor Fang to feel her pulse. However, Su Qingwan remained calm and did not make a fuss. She just let Doctor Fang take care of her body. Doctor Fang was an excellent doctor and used the best medicines. He also said that her injuries would be healed in ten days.

At this time, the former emperor's body was about to be sent to the imperial mausoleum, and the new emperor ascended the throne. There were many complicated and trivial matters, and it would take several months to deal with them. As the regent, Lu Jing was even more busy and overwhelmed, and he had no time to take care of Su Qingwan during this period. Qingyun saw that there was no one around, so he asked softly: "Miss, when are we leaving Kyoto?"

"Let's wait until after the divorce!" Su Qingwan's tone was flat, but her eyes revealed a bit of determination, "I should also take my sister back to Huainan to pay tribute to the clan members." Now that Huainan has been rehabilitated, I believe that soon someone will repair the Su family's ancestral tomb, build a temple and erect a monument.

As an orphan of Huainan, she naturally had to go back to Huainan to comfort the spirits of her people in heaven. Once all this was done, she would be able to escape perfectly and travel the world freely from then on.

"Girl, have you really made up your mind?" Qingyun was still a little worried and couldn't help but ask again.

Su Qingwan nodded firmly. Now that her life's wish had come true, she didn't feel as happy as she had imagined. Instead, she felt empty. She and Lu Jing were not destined to be together after all.

Now she can only live with the identity of a sister. Many people in Beijing have seen her true face. She is Lu Jing's sister-in-law. This identity is destined to make her and Lu Jing unable to have a result. Leaving Kyoto, the vast world allows her to fly freely. Although she has some regrets, she thinks this is also good.

These days, she has been deliberately paralyzing Lu Jing, and acting out her true feelings very strongly, just because she doesn't want Lu Jing to become suspicious so that she can prepare to leave Kyoto.

"You go find Luzhu, we'll meet at Nanfeng Tower. It's time for me to finalize the divorce with Lu Feng." Su Qingwan looked out the window. The moonlight was like water, reflecting her calm yet resolute face.

Qingyun followed the order and went to find Luzhu, but Su Qingwan couldn't sleep. The divorce became a little difficult for her. Lin was a very, very arrogant and bullying person.

Lu Jing became the regent, and the Lu family rose to prominence. Whether Lin Feng would be reinstated was a matter of Lu Jing's words. Who could stop the Lu family from rising? Lin would definitely withhold her dowry. If she wanted to divorce, she needed Lu Jing's approval, but she was afraid that Lu Jing would see through her. In the past, when she was in the deep palace, Lu Jing's focus was on power struggles and he had no time to take care of his family.

Now that the dust has settled, it’s too close.

If Lu Jing found out, she wouldn't be able to leave. She had to think of a way to quickly divorce and leave Kyoto without arousing Lu Jing's suspicion.

Just as she was thinking this, she heard a maid outside the door greeting her. Lu Jing had returned.

Su Qingwan was a little confused. She had already decided to leave Kyoto, and she didn't want to hesitate any longer. When Lu Jing pushed the door in, Su Qingwan closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep.

I will make up for it tomorrow
