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

Chapter 372 Good show
Lu Yuntang wasn't unaware that Su Qingwan was telling the truth, but she felt distressed, as if a heavy, painful weight was lodged in her chest.

“Sister-in-law, I know…” Lu Yuntang wiped away her tears, “I will give up.”

Lu Yuntang knelt down to apologize to Zhang Shi. Zhang Shi ultimately felt sorry for her daughter, and the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried. Su Qingwan said from the side, "You are young and just beginning to experience love. It's not a big mistake to be deceived. The weather has been nice these past few days. I'll take you to the temple to pray and get rid of the bad luck."

"Thank you for your trouble, sister-in-law!" Lu Yuntang wiped away her tears.

At night, Qingyun was helping her wash up. There were still some days before she was due to give birth. She was in good health, and the baby was also healthy. The imperial physician suggested that she exercise more, and she also wanted to go to the temple to pray.

Li Yue came in and said, "Your Highness, the Third Miss sent someone to deliver a letter to Second Young Master Chen, but I stopped her."

Su Qingwan seemed to have expected this. She took the letter. Lu Yuntang and Lu Jing were siblings born of the same mother. Lu Jing was resilient and persistent, as was Lu Yuntang. Even if they knew they were wrong, they might not be able to wake up immediately. If they woke up too quickly, it would make her suspicious, as if they were deliberately showing weakness to make her lower her guard.

The letter arranged to meet Chen Nanhuai at Hanshan Temple.

Su Qingwan was not angry. Lu Yuntang's tone was very calm, and she did not say anything out of line. The letters she had written to Chen Nanhuai in the past were not too explicit, but were all about the hidden thoughts of a young girl.

Li Yue asked, "Should we send it over?"

"No need to see him off, he'll go to Hanshan Temple anyway."

Su Qingwan had already made arrangements. The next morning, she took Lu Yuntang out together. Zhang Shi was still ill, so she rested in the Prince's Mansion and told Lu Yuntang to listen to Su Qingwan.

Lu Yuntang obediently agreed.

Hanshan Temple wasn't particularly popular, but it was well-liked by some prominent families in the capital. The ladies often spoke of how efficacious Hanshan Temple was, especially in matters of marriage. Lu Jing was even superstitious and brought her to Hanshan Temple to pray for blessings.

The mountain path was difficult to traverse, and Su Qingwan, with her protruding belly, struggled to walk, progressing very slowly. Lu Yuntang supported her, helping her up step by step, without any sense of urgency. Lu Yuntang also told her many stories about Lu Jing, which Su Qingwan listened to with rapt attention. At the same time, she thought that Lu Yuntang's attitude was quite good, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry to meet another man.

She hoped today would be the last time she made a foolish mistake.

She hates people who often make stupid mistakes and prefers to hang out with smart people.

"Sister-in-law, the imperial physician said this baby is a boy, is that true? Mother is so happy to hear it's a boy!"

"The imperial physicians only made their judgment based on experience. Whether it's a boy or a girl will only be known after the baby is born. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?"

"boy."

"Why?"

“I’m useless. I’m weak and can’t protect my mother. Boys should be like my brother. They should be strong and upright and be able to protect the women in the family.” Lu Yuntang lost her father at a young age and both feared and admired Lu Jing.

Su Qingwan couldn't help but sigh, "Then we're thinking the same thing."

The two smiled at each other. There weren't many people at Hanshan Temple. Lu Yuntang accompanied Su Qingwan into the temple to kneel and pray for blessings. Su Qingwan put her hands together and sincerely prayed to Buddha to bless Lu Jing with peace in Xilin and to bless her to give birth to her child safely.

After Lu Yuntang patiently accompanied her in praying, Su Qingwan felt a little uncomfortable in her abdomen and sat down to rest under a tree. Lu Yuntang wanted to take a walk to clear her mind, but Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Go ahead, I need to rest for an hour. You've been cooped up at home for a while, so relax."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Lu Yuntang thought she would have to say a lot of words, but she didn't expect it to be so easy. After she left, Su Qingwan gave Li Yue a look, and Li Yue followed her away.
