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

Chapter 294 Trust
Su Qingwan looked at the priceless treasures in the box and felt a little uneasy. "Your Highness, this is too precious. I cannot accept it."

"Xiao Wu, I was married to your brother and I was your sister-in-law. Perhaps you don't want to admit it and wish you could sever ties with the royal family. Later, I also married the prince consort and became the daughter-in-law of the Lu family for more than ten years. But in my heart, my husband is only your brother. You are about to get married and are his only living sister. It is not too much for me to give you anything. These things should have belonged to you originally."

"Your Highness can leave it to Nianqing. When he gets married in the future, it can be used as a betrothal gift."

“When Nianqing gets married, how could I be the one sitting in the hall? He’s returning to Huainan to acknowledge his ancestors and clan, and on the surface, he’s severing all ties with me. Xiao Wu, this is a token of my affection and compensation for you. If you refuse it again and again, I will be very sad.”

Su Qingwan felt somewhat lost and upset. She didn't want to let this kindness go to waste, but she was also afraid that behind this kindness lay a favor that she couldn't repay. She couldn't help but feel uneasy and unwilling to accept it.

But she knew better than anyone how the eldest princess treated Nianqing. It was true that she was willing to risk her life for Nianqing back then, and it was also true that she loved her brother.

More than a decade has passed, but this love has remained. She was sincere, and even if she wasn't, as long as Nianqing was there, they would always be bound together.

She couldn't afford to have too much of a falling out with the eldest princess.

"Your Highness, your kindness is too precious. I... I shall accept your offer." Su Qingwan glanced at Qingyun, who, along with several maids, came over and carried the box away.

The eldest princess smiled and said, "That's right. We're all family, so let's not be formal. Good news has also come from Huainan. The war is going very smoothly. As long as the court has sufficient supplies, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xilin won't be able to resist for long. At most, we can take Xilin in two years. Nianqing has made a great contribution, and the Huainan fiefdom will gradually stabilize."

“Of course!” Su Qingwan knew what the princess meant. “Like you, I hope the war in Xilin will end as soon as possible, that Nianqing can gain a foothold in Huainan, and that Lu Jing will focus on stabilizing the court and the people’s livelihood. He will not compete with you for power. Even if he does, he will wait until the war is stable. Your Highness, rest assured, I will keep an eye on him. No one will affect the war situation in Huainan. This is also why I married Lu Jing.”

“You don’t need to tell me these things. You already know them. On this joyous occasion, let’s not talk about anything that might spoil the mood. Xiao Wu, get some rest and be a beautiful bride. Lu Jing should be a good husband. It’s actually quite good that you can marry him.”

Su Qingwan wasn't sure if the princess was being sincere or just being polite, but she smiled and replied, "Yes, I also think Lu Jing is a good man, and I'm very happy to be able to marry him."

The eldest princess raised an eyebrow, nodded, and got up to take her leave. She came in a hurry and left in a hurry, leaving behind an uneasy Su Qingwan. Sometimes she couldn't understand the eldest princess's thoughts.

She seemed eager to seize power, yet hesitant to act rashly. She appeared wary of her, yet occasionally revealed genuine feelings. This was truly contradictory. She didn't know what the Princess was thinking or plotting. She felt vaguely uneasy, yet also felt that with Lu Jing around, she shouldn't overthink things.

Even if the sky falls, Lu Jing will be there for you.

When Su Qingwan realized this thought, she was startled. Did she really trust Lu Jing that much now?
