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

Chapter 36 Trap
"Zi Yu, you've come at the right time. Sell out this maid who is so bold as to hit her master!" Lu Feng was kicked twice, in the same place. His abdomen ached slightly. He covered the painful area and couldn't stand up straight.

Lu Jing had heard Lu Zhu and Li An quarreling. This maidservant was very eloquent when she could speak, and very strict when she could speak. She never had a good face towards him. It was estimated that in her eyes, only the eldest sister-in-law was the master.

Su Qingwan wiped the blood from the corner of her lips and sneered, "Luzhu's indenture is not in the Lu family, what qualifications do you have to sell her?"

"Her indenture is not in the Lu family, so get out of the Lu family. Our Lu family cannot afford to support such a slave who bullies her master."

Lu Jing frowned. A slave who bullies her master is really unacceptable. No matter where her indenture is, she has to abide by the rules of the Lu family when she lives with her elder sister-in-law. If she beats her master, the master will beat her to death and drive her out.

Su Qingwan also knew Lu Jing's authority, and it would be easy for her to deal with Lu Zhu. She hit all the men in the family with one blow, "The men in your Lu family are really a nest of snakes and rats. The younger one hurt me severely for no reason, and the older one came to my yard in the middle of the night and beat people up. If this continues, I might die suddenly at home one day. You should all set off firecrackers to celebrate."

Lu Jing had long known that his eldest sister-in-law was vindictive and sharp-tongued, but he had never seen her so emotional and angry that she vomited blood. "Sister-in-law, calm down. You and brother have been married for many years. If you have something to say, talk it out. As your younger brother, I didn't mean to get involved. I hope you can forgive me."

Lu Feng dragged Lu Jing who wanted to leave and said in a deep voice, "Zi Yu, this is not a simple quarrel. She is not your sister-in-law at all. She just looks a bit like your eldest sister-in-law and came to our house in a deception. You came at the right time. Arrest her and investigate thoroughly. She must have killed your eldest sister-in-law and impersonated her."

Lu Jing narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at Su Qingwan, but he didn't see any guilt on her face. Su Qingwan sneered, "I fell off a cliff for no reason a year ago, and you had an affair with Li Xueying before you could finish your filial piety to your wife. Just now you shamelessly said that the Li family sent you to the Hanlin Academy. It was you who wanted to get close to the Li family, and you thought I was in the way, so you tried to kill your wife but failed, and you blamed me instead."

"Nonsense, Zhaolan is my first wife, how could I kill her, how could I not recognize her, you are obviously not Zhaolan!" Lu Feng deliberately blurred the focus and said to Lu Jing, "Zi Yu, arrest her and take her to the Jinyiwei prison, torture her severely, she will tell the truth, believe me, she is really not your eldest sister-in-law."

Lu Jing didn't want to listen to his brother and sister-in-law exposing each other's shortcomings, so he said calmly, "I have sent people to Jiangnan to invite my sister-in-law's father and mother. Whether she is my sister-in-law or not will be clear in a few days."

Su Qingwan, "..."

Her hands hidden under her sleeves suddenly clenched. When did Lu Jing suspect that she was not his sister, and when did he send people to Jiangnan?
Lu Jing's eyes fell on Su Qingwan's face, as if he wanted to expose her disguise, and his words were cold, "You'd better really be my sister-in-law."

Su Qingwan felt an unprecedented crisis. Perhaps she had thought too simply about revenge on the Lu family. Lu Jing... was a very difficult enemy.

After Lu Jing and Lu Feng left Meilan Garden, Lu Zhu panicked, "Miss, I'll send someone to contact the Xie family."

"No." Su Qingwan shook her head gently. "Lu Jing has made it clear that the Xie family is on their way to Beijing. He will definitely send someone to keep an eye on you. If you send someone to contact the Xie family, he will definitely get the news, and I will be like self-destructing."

Lu Zhu said in annoyance, "It's all my fault. I was too impulsive. I should have just not hit Lu Feng."

"It has nothing to do with you. Lu Feng came here just to test me. Li Xueying came to her senses and realized that I had tricked her. The chaotic life she is living now is not what she wants. Lu Feng must know that she killed her sister." A hint of cruelty flashed in Su Qingwan's eyes. This pair of dogs and bitches were in cahoots with each other.

"If it doesn't work, we'll just go back to the southwest. The emperor is far away, and I don't think they can do anything."

Su Qingwan was unwilling to do so. If she left, her efforts would be in vain, and her sister's revenge would not be avenged. It would be a loss for them. Now Lu Jing was staring at her, and she had to get through the crisis first. Five days later, Xie Huai and his wife went to Beijing and lived in the Xie family's courtyard. They were guarded by the Jinyiwei the whole time. To put it nicely, it was protection, but to put it bluntly, it was surveillance. Xie Huai and his wife were escorted to Beijing by the Jinyiwei, saying that Xie Zhaolan had come back to life and missed his father and mother, so they specially invited him to Kyoto to meet.

The day after Xie Huai and his wife settled in Beijing, the Lu family sent someone to invite them, and Lin also prepared a banquet to entertain the in-laws. Su Qingwan was completely unaware of this.

Lu Jing was good at psychological tactics. He deliberately told Su Qingwan that he had gone to Jiangnan to invite his parents, but did not tell her when he would go to Beijing. He deliberately kept Su Qingwan in suspense, as if he wanted her to feel guilty and lose her composure.

Su Qingwan originally wanted to contact Chenfeng when Luzhu went out to buy things, and ask him to contact Xie Huai and his wife, but Lu Jing restricted the movements of everyone in Meilan Garden, and everyone was trapped in Meilan Garden.

Whenever Su Qingwan wanted to buy something, she told Li An and he went to do it. Lu Zhu was so anxious that she scolded Li An several times. Li An remained silent and accepted the scolding, but he did not dare to disobey Lu Jing's orders.

Su Qingwan was not aware that Xie Huai and his wife came to the Lu family. When Lin sent someone to invite them, she just thought that Lin wanted to ask for money again. When she saw Xie Huai and his wife at the table, Su Qingwan's heart was beating wildly with nervousness.

Oh no, what if Xie Huai and his wife recognize that she is not her sister?
She had never met Xie Huai and his wife. She had never been to Jiangnan after she separated from her sister. Xie Zhaolan never mentioned Xie Huai and his wife in her letters, fearing that one day the letters would fall into the hands of someone with ulterior motives and cause trouble. She only mentioned that her father was gentle and her mother was kind.

Lu Shaoqing, Lu Feng, and Lu Jing were all at the table, as were Lin, Zhang, and Li Xueying. Su Qingwan looked at the unfamiliar Xie Huai and his wife.

Xie Huai's mother was from Jiangnan, and he inherited her elegance and grace. He wore an indigo-colored brocade robe, which was extremely luxurious. Mrs. Xie was extremely beautiful, and coincidentally, she had similar eyebrows and eyes to the sisters Xie Zhaolan and Su Qingwan. Her brocade was covered with gold threads, her hair was full of pearls and jade, she had a green bracelet on her wrist, and a gold and jade necklace on her chest. She was truly extremely wealthy.

"Father, mother..." Su Qingwan could only take a gamble. They were Xie Huai and his wife who came from Jiangnan. Their attire did not look like that of people from Beijing.

The noble ladies in the capital considered simplicity and elegance as beauty, and the ladies of aristocratic families would never dress so ostentatiously and extravagantly.

Mrs. Xie's eyes instantly turned red. She stood up and hugged Su Qingwan, her eyes instantly red. "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. It's really God's blessing that my son has turned danger into safety."

She stroked Su Qingwan's face and said, "Those who survive a great disaster will surely have good fortune in the future."

"Mother, I miss you so much."

Xie Huai was crying beside him, wiping his tears silently, and muttered, "It's good to be alive."

Lu Jing's eyes fell on the touching family of three in front of him, thoughtfully.
