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

Chapter 286 Princess
Lu Feng and Miss Ding's wedding was a grand affair. In half a month, Lu Jing will marry the Princess of Huainan. Madam Lin is determined to make it a grand and impressive affair to enhance Lu Feng's prestige. Lu Jing is quite cooperative and has been helping Lu Feng prepare for the wedding recently. As the younger brother, he is giving his elder brother face by helping him with the wedding procession.

The Ding family also gave their daughter face, with a grand dowry. She was a favored daughter in the family. Although she was a second wife when she married into the Lu family, the Ding family still valued her highly because Lu Jing was the regent, and her dowry was very respectable.

Li An has returned from his mission, bringing a group of Imperial Guards with him to help. He asked with a smile, "Master, you can leave the wedding to the Second Young Master. Why did you have to do it yourself?"

You've lowered yourself!
Lu Jing said, "It's alright, it's good to see the wedding process."

After going through the process, he roughly understood what was going on. He had become quite adept at it when he married Su Qingwan, and he could make timely adjustments if there were any issues with the arrangements. This was also very important to him, as he wanted to make this wedding more dignified and glamorous.

Almost all the dignitaries and nobles came, many of them because of Lu Jing's influence. The Lady of Ningyuan Marquis also brought Chen Lanzhu to offer her congratulations. Normally, the Lady of Ningyuan Marquis wouldn't like to come to such occasions, but Lu Jing and Su Qingwan's marriage was already irrevocable, and they would be relatives in the future, so they would have to visit each other eventually. She had to come for Su Qingwan's sake.

But the thought that Xie Zhaolan died in the Lu family made Lady Ningyuan feel uneasy. She attended the wedding banquet as if she were attending a funeral. Chen Lanzhu was also there to comfort her, saying that there would be a good show to watch after Su Qingwan got married.

Rumors were bound to circulate, but they were prepared for it and believed that Su Qingwan could handle it. Lady Ningyuan patiently congratulated Lin.

Lu Shaoqing and Madam Lin greeted the guests with beaming smiles. Many of the high-ranking officials were of higher rank than Lu Shaoqing, and he greeted them with a smile. The wedding proceeded in a very respectable manner.

The steward Su Qingwan brought from Huainan even asked her if she wanted to send a congratulatory gift. It wouldn't look good if she didn't give any gift at all. Now that she was representing the Huainan Prince's Mansion, she should have attended the wedding with the Lady of Ningyuan Marquis. She had to maintain appearances. Even though not everyone was present, she still had to send a gift.

"I don't want to send a gift." Su Qingwan said indifferently, "It's his wedding, and it's already polite of me not to attend the funeral. You still want a wedding gift? No way. I don't care about etiquette."

She even wanted to hold a banquet in the name of the Prince of Huainan's residence to steal the limelight.

The butler listened to her without offering any advice, probably because he understood her personality. Reminding Su Qingwan was his duty, and if Su Qingwan was unwilling to do it, he couldn't control her.

As the weather gradually improved, spring outings, hunting, and flower viewing became more frequent. Su Qingwan didn't want to stay cooped up in the house, so she took Qingyun, Tingting, and several other girls out hunting and playing every day, leaving early and returning late.

Returning late that day, Su Qingwan didn't want to go back to the mansion for dinner. Instead, she took a few girls to Nanfeng Tower. Nanfeng Tower was a property of Huainan, and a private room had always been reserved for her. It was her exclusive room, and even if she didn't come, Manager Hua would make the room available.

Su Qingwan arrived at an inopportune time, just as Lu Feng was having dinner at Nanfeng Tower with his newlywed wife, Ding Shi. This was also the first time Su Qingwan had met Miss Ding.

Miss Ding was beautiful and dignified. Standing next to Lu Feng, she looked quite young. Her round face was chubby and particularly cute. As soon as Lu Feng saw Su Qingwan, his expression changed. It was her again.
However, what surprised him this time was why the princess of the Huainan Prince's Mansion would appear by her side. Last time outside the villa, it was Qingyun who led Lu Feng away, and he mistook Qingyun for the princess of Huainan. But now he saw Qingyun following Su Qingwan, and he was a little confused.

Su Qingwan treated her maids extremely well; their food, clothing, and daily necessities were all better than those of the daughters of fifth-rank officials. Qingyun, in particular, wore a brocade embroidered dress and a jade hairpin, looking magnificent and noble. However, when she was beside Su Qingwan, her aura was weaker than Su Qingwan's. Lu Feng, having been in the officialdom for many years, would not mistake her. If she were the Princess of Huainan, Qingyun should be walking ahead, and her status would not be lower than Su Qingwan's.

why?
Su Qingwan kept her eyes straight ahead and called over Manager Hua. Manager Hua smiled and said, "Miss, please come upstairs."

"Wait!" Lu Feng called out to them, his voice slightly distorted. The Princess of Huainan he had seen was not the Princess of Huainan. She was accompanied by a woman with such a powerful aura. So who was the princess?

Those rumors reached his ears again. They said that Princess Huainan looked somewhat like Xie Zhaolan. The person in front of him was clearly Xie Zhaolan. If she was Princess Huainan... How could Xie Zhaolan become Princess Huainan and marry Lu Jing?
"Who exactly are you?" Lu Feng was so angry that his face turned red, and he even felt ashamed. His former wife had suddenly changed her mind and was going to marry his younger brother.
absurd!

"How dare you be so rude!" Qingyun scolded. Now that they had encountered her, there was no need to hide it anymore. Besides, Lu Feng and Miss Ding were already married. "This is Princess Huainan. Shouldn't you pay your respects to the princess?"

The color drained completely from Lu Feng's face. He had guessed right; she really was the Princess of Huainan! How could it be! How could it be! She was clearly Xie Zhaolan!

"You're lying! She's clearly the eldest daughter of the Xie family, how could she possibly be the Princess of Huainan!" Lu Feng's voice changed, trembling. Miss Ding nervously tugged at his sleeve, "Husband, don't be rude!"

Ding was a calm and collected woman. Although she did not know what had happened, she knew that she could not afford to offend the Princess of Huainan. She and the princess would still be sisters-in-law in the future. Judging from her husband's expression, could it be that they had a grudge?
Since being raised in seclusion, Miss Ding had little social interaction. She had only heard of Xie Zhaolan's name but had never met her. Her parents told her that Lu Feng and Xie Zhaolan had already divorced, so she didn't need to take it to heart. She never imagined that the person in front of her would be Xie Zhaolan.

Su Qingwan stood on the steps, looking down at Lu Feng with a hint of contempt in her eyes. "Last time you were being unreasonable, I told you you had mistaken me for someone else. I am indeed the genuine Princess of Huainan. Young Master Lu, if you continue to be so rude, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Lu Feng was struck dumb. Although he had expected it, he was still shocked to hear Su Qingwan admit it herself. She actually admitted it herself.

How did she become the Princess of Huainan and end up marrying Lu Jing?
Nanfeng Tower is a gathering place for the sons of noble families in the capital. Lu Feng had a dispute with someone and made a fool of himself. He was much more cautious and did not have a conflict with Su Qingwan to avoid making a fool of himself again. His new wife was beside him. He had to stay calm and not lose control!

He had originally planned to have a meal with Madam Ding before returning home, but now he had no appetite at all and was trembling with anger. What Princess of Huainan? She was clearly Xie Zhaolan, who had changed her identity to marry Lu Jing. It was utterly absurd! Their entire Lu family would become a laughingstock, and he absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

"Husband, what's wrong? Do you know the princess?" Ding asked curiously.

"We're more than just acquaintances, we're practically intimate!" Lu Feng said sarcastically. "Let's skip dinner tonight and come back another day. I have urgent business to attend to."

Ding was somewhat displeased, but knowing that a married woman must obey her husband, she nodded obediently, her gaze involuntarily drifting upstairs. What grudge did the princess and her husband possibly have? In the few days since their marriage, this was the first time she had seen Lu Feng so out of control.

Lu Feng took Ding Shi home and hurriedly went to the West Garden to find Lu Jing. He was still newly married, and Lu Jing lived in the West Garden. Li An saw that he looked unfriendly and stopped him, "Young Master, please wait. I will go and inform the master first."

Lu Feng shoved him away. "Get out of here. This is the Lu family, not the Regent's Palace. I am Lu Jing's elder brother. There is an order of seniority. Do you understand?"

Li An, "..."

Tsk, I wonder where you got bullied. What are you trying to prove when you come back? Only then will your master pay you any attention.

"Alright, then you can go in!" Li An thought to himself, his master hates people who are so unruly. If Lu Feng wants to go in through the window, so be it. It's not him who will suffer.

"Ziyu, come out here, I have something to ask you!"
