Chapter 35 Embarrassment
However, Li Xueying saw through his hypocrisy and warned him not to forget that it was the Li family who sent him to the Hanlin Academy as an editor, which was the Hanlin Academy that all students in the world wanted to enter.

The top scholar who took the imperial examination with him was sent to a remote mountain town to serve as a county magistrate, but he was able to enter the Hanlin Academy.

The Hanlin Academy is a path to high career for civil servants, and it is possible for them to become prime ministers in the future.

The Prime Minister Lu of the current dynasty won the top three places in the imperial examinations and entered the Hanlin Academy, and was also a seventh-rank Hanlin editor. He also wanted to follow the same path to success as Prime Minister Lu. He could only please Li Xueying and was forced to collude with Li Xueying.

Scholars value their reputation, and they couldn't save face when Su Qingwan hated them like that. "Xie Zhaolan, you are my wife, and you think I am dirty. We have been married for several years and sleep in the same bed. How can you not be disgusted? There are only you and Xueying in my backyard. She is pregnant, so you should serve me well."

After he said that, he dragged Su Qingwan into the room. Lu Zhu's eyes were about to spit fire. Just as he was about to step forward to stop him, Su Qingwan raised her hand and slapped Lu Feng in the face, then kicked him. The weak Lu Feng was kicked to the ground in the courtyard and looked at Su Qingwan in disbelief.

He recalled the day of their wedding, when Su Qingwan was holding the horsewhip, looking neat and heroic, like a woman who had practiced martial arts for many years. His wife Xie Zhaolan could not carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands, so how could she have such great strength?

Li An, who was lying on the wall watching the show, screamed and covered his mouth. He wanted to call Lu Jing to watch the show, but when he turned his head and saw Lu Jing's Embroidered Spring Sword shining with a cold light, he fell silent.

The master is a person who doesn't care about anything that doesn't concern him. If he is asked to come and watch the fun of his brother and sister-in-law, the embroidered spring knife will probably be used to chop him.

"You are not Zhao Lan, who are you?" Lu Feng got up in a panic, not wanting to act anymore. "Zhao Lan never calls me Lu Feng, and she doesn't have the strength you have. You actually pretended to be Zhao Lan and stirred up trouble in my house. What's your intention?"

"You coveted the wealth of the Earl of Anping's mansion, and consorted with Li Xueying to kill his wife. Now you want to turn the tables on her. You have brought shame upon scholars!" Su Qingwan sneered, "The top scholar who took the imperial examination with you was sent to serve as an official. How can you, a Jinshi, enter the Hanlin Academy?"

Lu Feng's hypocrisy was exposed, and he became angry and ashamed. "You also know that I was able to enter the Hanlin Academy because of the secret recommendation of Anping Earl. If it weren't for Li Xueying's favor to me, how could I enter the Hanlin Academy? I would have been sent to be a county magistrate thousands of miles away. The Li family can help me rise to prominence, but what can Xie Zhaolan do? The daughter of a merchant cannot be accepted into the upper class. In a few decades, I will be the prime minister of the dynasty. Do I want the world to laugh at my wife for her humble merchant background?"

"The Li family helped you enter the Hanlin Academy?" Su Qingwan was stunned.

The civil and military officials in the court were clearly divided and were at odds with each other. How could the Marquis of Anping, who was born a military general, interfere in the promotion of civil officials, especially the position of editor in the Hanlin Academy? Those who passed the imperial examination and entered the Hanlin Academy were trained to be future prime ministers. How could the Marquis of Anping be qualified to interfere in such an important task?

It was because she asked the eldest princess for help for her sister that this matter was made possible.

A woman is supposed to obey her husband after marriage. She thought that if her brother-in-law could be granted a title of nobility and appointed as prime minister, and her sister could receive a first-rank imperial decree, her life would be smooth and happy. But she never expected that the credit would be snatched away by others and her sister would be harmed.
Su Qingwan felt a sharp pain in her heart, as if she was pierced by thousands of arrows. It was just a bolt from the blue. She was hit so hard that she could hardly stand. Her eyes were bloodshot and her face was pale. She grabbed Lu Feng's collar like crazy, "You think that the Li family helped you enter the Imperial Academy and will help you become the Prime Minister in the future, so you want to marry Li Xueying and conspire with her to murder..."

"Girl!" Su Qingwan was so angry that she wanted to call him sister. Lu Zhu pulled her back and said, "Girl, calm down, girl..."

"Yes, the Li family can help me advance in my career. What can you do?" Who among the civil servants doesn't want to enter the Hanlin Academy? Who among the civil servants doesn't want to be promoted to a higher position after studying hard, and be second only to the emperor?

Su Qingwan was drowned in pain and remorse, her heart ached so much that she almost lost consciousness. It was she who killed her sister. It was she who was so smart that she interfered with the official position and killed her sister! Li An lay on the wall to watch the show. The more he watched, the more confused he became. Suddenly, he heard Lu Jing's cold and ghostly voice from behind, "Li An, what are you doing?"

Li An was so frightened that he almost fell down, and hurriedly explained, "Master, the eldest master and the eldest young lady are arguing, and it seems...it seems that something is wrong. The eldest young lady seems to be very upset and is about to go crazy."

Are you going crazy?
Lu Jing frowned. His elder sister-in-law remained calm and composed when she was taken to the Jinyiwei prison. She was fanning the flames at home and sitting on the Diaoyutai, looking like she had won the game. Nothing could drive her crazy.

"If you have nothing to do, go investigate the remnants of Huainan instead of sitting on the wall arguing with people all day." Lu Jing didn't want to get involved in his brother's affairs in the courtyard, and it was the dead of night and would cause gossip.

He was wiping the sweat off his face with a soft towel when he suddenly heard a painful and mournful cry coming from Mei Lanyuan. Lu Jing paused and turned to look at Mei Lanyuan. Was it his eldest sister-in-law crying?

In Meilan Garden, Lu Feng saw that Su Qingwan was hysterical. It was as if he had grasped Su Qingwan's weakness and had no sympathy for her pain. "Xueying is as different from you as heaven and earth. With the help of the Li family, I will be able to enter the cabinet and become the prime minister in the future. If you are obedient and respectful to Xueying, we will not reveal your identity. In view of the fact that you have obtained the iron certificate for the Lu family, we will also allow you to be Xie Zhaolan obediently and live a life of luxury. How about it?"

"You're dreaming!" Su Qingwan was so angry that she wanted to tear apart Lu Feng's smug face. "You're unfaithful and ungrateful. You killed your wife to curry favor with the rich and powerful. You have a bad character and you still want to be the Prime Minister. You are not even qualified to enter the Hanlin Academy."

If she had not interfered in Lu Feng's mission, her sister might still be alive and well, and she and her sister would not be separated forever.

Lu Feng was stabbed in the sore spot. Seeing Su Qingwan weak and embarrassed, he raised his hand to hit her, "Bitch, I am your husband, how dare you talk back to me!"

Lu Zhu was beside Su Qingwan, so how could she allow her to be beaten? When Lu Feng raised his hand, she could no longer bear it and kicked him. She was much stronger than Su Qingwan, and she kicked Lu Feng to the Moon Gate, where he fell in front of Lu Jing who came to investigate.

Lu Jing was standing at the moon gate with a cold look in his eyes. He had just been practicing martial arts. He was wearing a dark waisted, narrow-sleeved robe, his hair was tied up high, and he stood straight and tall like a pine tree.

Su Qingwan stared at him, and the blood clots in her blood that were surging due to Lu Feng's anger were stirred up again and she vomited them out.

"Girl!" Luzhu was shocked.

Su Qingwan waved her hand, signaling Luzhu not to panic. She was fine, but she just felt regretful and angry when she thought about how her sister was killed by her, and her blood was blocked after the shock and pain. She just needed to vomit it out.

Lu Jing helped up Lu Feng, who was badly kicked, and said in a cold voice, "Brother, are you okay?"

He didn't expect that his brother and sister-in-law would actually fight and make things so embarrassing.
