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

Chapter 367 The Real and Fake Heiress
Marriage is a lifelong commitment for a woman. Due to societal views and unequal rules, unless a woman is strong enough to ignore all societal opinions, she cannot avoid the path of marriage.

Marry the right person and you'll have a worry-free life; marry the wrong person and you'll suffer for life.

Even as the only princess of Huainan, she could not avoid a political marriage. The eldest princess, the only sister of the late emperor, also had to marry down to stabilize the situation. This world is so unfair to women. If you want to live well, you don't have to fight against the rules, but adapt to them.

Su Qingwan said, "Because he is loyal and responsible, which are the best qualities a man can have, and he also has a handsome appearance. Character can be faked, but beauty is immediately apparent. I only became attracted to his obviously beautiful appearance because I was drawn to his character. True feelings and character can be faked, but words and actions will always betray you. Third sister, the difference between marrying a responsible man and marrying an irresponsible man will be like night and day. A woman's happiness after marriage is easy to find, but if she wants long-term stability, if her husband cannot support her, her happiness will only be fleeting. His character also concerns the future of his children. I don't think Chen Erlang is a responsible and trustworthy person. Third sister, have you really thought this through before insisting on marrying him?"

"Of course I've thought it through carefully, sister-in-law. I know you all dislike him and look down on him, but I'm the one who's with him, not you. I understand him better than you do."

"Third sister, people can pretend. You've heard about what happened between us sisters. I disguised myself as the older sister and entered the manor for a year, and you didn't recognize me. Tell me, how long have you known him? I'm married to your brother, and my child is about to be born. I still can't say I fully understand him. You and he only communicate through letters and occasionally meet. Even when you meet, you might not exchange more than a few words. To put it bluntly, third sister, the person writing your letters might not be Chen Nanhuai. Perhaps he had someone else write them for him?"

"Impossible, you're framing him. I recognize his handwriting." Lu Yuntang was getting anxious and couldn't help but defend Chen Nanhuai, but she really couldn't produce any evidence.

Su Qingwan chuckled and said, "Mother fell ill because of you. If your brother were in the capital, he would probably break your legs. Third sister, this matter hasn't been blown out yet. Would you like to make a bet with me?"

"What are you gambling?"

"Let's bet on whether Chen Nanhuai is truly sincere towards you."

"I don't gamble; I believe in his sincerity."

"If you believe it, why don't you dare to gamble, Third Sister? Being abandoned by everyone is not a good thing. Think about Lu Feng, he almost drowned himself in the lake. You don't want to end up like that. If you win the bet, I will prepare a dowry for you, and you can get married happily. If you lose the bet, you will stay at home and reflect on your mistakes, and let your mother choose a marriage for you. How about that?"

Lu Yuntang, who had some backbone, gritted her teeth and asked, "What are we betting on?"

Two days later, the Lu family suddenly announced that Lu Yuntang was not Zhang's biological daughter, but was switched at birth. The real third young lady of the Lu family returned to the capital after recognizing her family and was taken to the Prince's Mansion by Zhang, where she was showered with love. This news quickly spread throughout the capital, causing another uproar in the Lu family. The true and false heiresses made Lu Yuntang's status in the Lu family, which had been raised for more than ten years, very awkward.

Lu Yuntang was sullen when she attended the flower banquet hosted by Chen Lanzhu. The young ladies from various families looked at her with subtle expressions. Her best friend couldn't help but ask, "Are you really the Lu family's daughter who was switched at birth?"

"Hmm!" Lu Yuntang said sullenly, her eyes reddening. Her mother had been ignoring her these past few days, and she had suffered a lot of grievances. These tears were genuine.

"What will you do when your biological daughter comes back? Will you be kicked out of the Lu family?"
