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

Chapter 299 Xiao Wu
When Lu Jing and Su Qingwan arrived at the flower hall, Zhang Shi, Lu Shaoqing, and Lin Shi were all there, as were several elders of the Lu family. The elders watched as Su Qingwan served tea, as they would be staying at the Prince's residence for the time being. Besides the elders, there were also younger generations present, including several young ladies from the Lu family. Everyone had seen Su Qingwan's appearance when she visited the Lu family, so they were no longer surprised.

Zhang's feelings were incredibly complex. The tea from Su Qingwan was already in front of her, and she was still in a daze; it was so reminiscent of the past. She had drunk Xie Zhaolan's tea before, and Lu Feng and Xie Zhaolan had also served her tea at their wedding. Although she knew Su Qingwan and Xie Zhaolan weren't the same person, but rather twins, they looked so alike.

Zhang Shi couldn't be ignored, and she couldn't help but think of the past. If she could think of it, Lu Shaoqing and Lin Shi must be able to as well. Lin Shi's expression was not very good. Back then, Xie Zhaolan served her tea and called her "Mother," but now she called Zhang Shi "Mother" with a sweet smile. She was unhappy, but no matter how unhappy she was, she dared not show it.

This is the Regent's Palace, not the Lu family's residence. She dared not say anything. Moreover, Lu Jing wielded too much power and could decide Lu Feng's future. Lu Shaoqing had spoken with her, and as long as she was smart, she wouldn't dare to cause trouble.

Zhang, Lu Shaoqing, and Lin all accepted the tea, each with their own thoughts and expressions. Su Qingwan had prepared gifts for the girls, all of which were jewelry that the girls liked. They weren't very expensive, but they were very exquisite.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Lu Yunshu said softly with a smile. She was the happiest among the girls. The third and fourth girls did not dare to show too much emotion because of the heavy atmosphere of the elders. The fourth girl, in particular, was sullen. However, she was not as impulsive as before. Lu Jing's status weighed on everyone in the Lu family.

The tea ceremony went very smoothly without any incidents, and no one dared to give Su Qingwan a hard time. Su Qingwan felt very comfortable and pleased.

She liked the atmosphere in the Lu family very much. If there were any tactless people, she would be annoyed. After all, they were newly married and she didn't want to hear any unpleasant words.

After the tea ceremony, Su Qingwan accompanied Zhang Shi for a walk in the garden.

Zhang asked, "When you're at home, what do your elders call you?"

"Replying to Mother, the elders all call me Xiao Wu."

"Can I call you Xiao Wu?"

“Yes!” Su Qingwan smiled gently. “My mother passed away early, and I haven’t called anyone else ‘mother’ for many years. Now that I’m married to Lu Jing, I have the opportunity to call her ‘mother’ again. I hope you will take good care of me in the days to come, and I will be a good daughter to you.”

“We spent a year together, and I know what kind of person you are. Actually, I should have realized something was wrong a long time ago. You and Zhaolan are completely different, and yet I…” Zhang Shi said with some sadness. She would rather Zhaolan be betrayed and have her personality change than know that Zhaolan was dead. She truly loved Zhaolan. “Alright, let’s not talk about those sad things anymore. Let’s look forward.”

"Alright, let's all look forward!" Su Qingwan could sense Zhang's hesitation and understand her pity. She had truly loved her sister, and this was probably her sister's only solace in the Lu family. "It's good that Mother doesn't blame me. After all, I was the one who concealed my identity first, which caused chaos in the Lu family."

“Xiao Wu, you and Ziyu…” Zhang had heard many rumors about Lu Jing and his sister-in-law’s affair, but she never believed them. She believed in her son’s character, but now she had doubts. “Did he know from the beginning that you were impersonating Zhaolan?”

I've been hospitalized again recently, so I'll have to update less.
