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

Chapter 369 A plan within a plan

Lu Yuntang said aggrievedly, "My sister-in-law deliberately brought her to the banquet to embarrass me. Even if I am not the biological daughter of the Lu family, my mother has raised me for so many years and we have a deep bond. How could she do this? I know that my sister-in-law has never liked me. I am clearly my brother's biological sister, but she only likes my second sister. Now she is also getting close to my eldest sister, but she just doesn't like me."

As she spoke, she wiped away tears. She spoke with a hint of grievance, half-truth and half-lies. In fact, she had heard others mock her, saying that Su Qingwan was very good to Lu Yunshu, arranging her marriage and providing her with dowry. After Lu Yunshu got married, Su Qingwan even supported her. Lu Yunshu's in-laws didn't dare to bully her at all, knowing that the Princess was backing her up. The Princess treated her like a younger sister. If it weren't for the Princess, Lu Yunshu would have jumped into a fire pit. But clearly, the Third Miss was Lu Jing's biological sister, so why did the Princess never take her out to socialize? After Lu Yunshu got married, Su Qingwan often took her out to make friends.

While men strive in officialdom, their wives' social interactions are also very important. Su Qingwan was indeed very good to Lu Yunshu. Lu Yuntang, after all, was still a young girl and had been jealous. She complained to Zhang Shi, wondering if her sister-in-law disliked her.

Zhang thought she was being pretentious. Su Qingwan was a cold and aloof person by nature. She got along well with Lu Yunshu, and Lu Yunshu had helped her. When Su Qingwan was pretending to be her elder sister, Lu Yunshu often protected her. Sincerity begets sincerity, so Su Qingwan was naturally good to her. Lu Yuntang didn't like Su Qingwan's cold and aloof personality and didn't get along well with her. They didn't see eye to eye, so their relationship wasn't very close. But she was very envious and jealous of Lu Yunshu.

Chen Nanhuai had also heard about it, but so what if the princess dotes on the second daughter? The third daughter is Lu Jing's biological sister and the closest to him. Now it has been revealed that the third daughter is not Lu's biological daughter. This matter is shocking in the entire noble clan. Bloodline confusion is something that everyone avoids.

"What will Madam Lu do for you? They won't kick you out of the Lu family, will they?"

"Of course not!" Lu Yuntang wiped away her tears. She didn't want to lie to Chen Nanhuai, but she had promised Su Qingwan to play the part to the end. She thought to herself, Chen Nanhuai liked her so much and had said he didn't care about her background, not her brother's power. He wouldn't care. "But Mother has her own biological daughter after all. She loves her own daughter, so she definitely won't treat me as well as before, and..."

She glanced timidly at Chen Nanhuai, who asked anxiously, "And what?"

“My mother found out about my secret rendezvous with you and was furious. I argued with her and went on a hunger strike, which made her sick. She was very disappointed in me and scolded me for having no integrity of the Lu family and doing something that would disgrace the family. She said that if something happened, it would implicate the sisters in the family. She has been sick for several days. Now that her biological daughter has come back, she doesn’t want to care about me anymore.”

She excitedly grabbed Chen Nanhuai's hand, "Brother Huai, Mother will no longer stop our marriage. Please send someone to propose marriage. I can finally marry you as I wish."

"She agreed to our marriage?" Chen Nanhuai was shocked. He knew that Zhang had strongly opposed Lu Yuntang marrying him, and the situation had become very ugly. Although Lu Yuntang was confined and could not communicate with him, he still had ways to know what was happening in the Prince's mansion. Now that Zhang had actually given in, did she no longer want Lu Yuntang after her own daughter returned?

Hiding in the shadows, Qingyun whispered to Liyue, "Third Miss may not be the brightest, but her acting skills are quite good."
