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

Chapter 375 Marriage
Madam Chen was stunned. Su Qingwan was so young, yet she possessed an extraordinary air of authority. She couldn't believe that she had been intimidated by such a young girl.

Su Qingwan had no patience for anyone else either. "Mrs. Chen, are you sure you want to continue talking to me?"

Madam Chen broke out in a cold sweat. She hadn't expected the princess to be like this. She hadn't known Su Qingwan for long, but she'd heard that Su Qingwan was very cunning. She'd even laughed and said that a twenty-year-old girl couldn't possibly be cunning. But she was truly cunning and her imposing presence was terrifying. Madam Chen was terrified. She felt that Su Qingwan was capable of destroying the Chen family.

The Li family's affair served as a lesson for the elite, and Madam Chen also realized that she had been somewhat naive in visiting them today.

"Your Highness, there's no need to burn bridges if the marriage proposal falls through. If you feel our family is marrying above our station, then I won't discuss the marriage anymore," Madam Chen said with an awkward smile.

Su Qingwan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile, "Whether the Third Miss is the Lu family's biological daughter or adopted daughter, she is their precious darling. She is Lu Jing's only sister. If her reputation is ruined, I can't guarantee what Lu Jing will do. You've heard rumors about him killing and confiscating property when he was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. So, don't mess with us. We all care about the Third Miss's reputation. So, Madam Chen, you'd better keep your mouth shut. As for your son, he's already ruined. It's his own fault for raising such a son. You should reflect on your actions and not drag our daughter down with you. You have more than one son, don't you?"

Madam Chen's legs went weak, and she regretted coming to the door. Yes, she had three sons. Although her other two sons did not hold high official positions, they had still made it into the civil service. If she felt sorry for Chen Nanhuai and ruined her sons' future, she would regret it deeply.

"Your Highness, I understand."

"You'd better be like that. If I were you, I'd send your son back to his hometown and let him get married quietly. Don't bring him back to the capital. There are too many gossips in the capital, and your son is a heavy drinker. If he talks nonsense while drunk and spreads some unpleasant rumors, I'll take my anger out on the Chen family. It will be hard to explain, and it will look very ugly. You don't want to ruin your entire family for the sake of a good-for-nothing son. The Li family can be so heartless as to let their illegitimate daughter suddenly fall ill. If you're too soft-hearted, I think your husband or father-in-law is just as ruthless. In the future, if there are any rumors, I'll hold you and Chen Nanhuai responsible. So, Madam Chen, you'd better think carefully."

"Your Highness, are you threatening me?"

“Yes!” Su Qingwan answered frankly; this was the real threat.

Madam Chen fled in disarray, feeling utterly defeated. The next day, Li Yue reported that Madam Chen had sent Chen Nanhuai back to his hometown and that he probably wouldn't return to the capital. The matter was considered closed and the matter was considered settled.

Zhang also breathed a sigh of relief and trusted Su Qingwan even more. Now she completely ignored the affairs of the Prince's Mansion and the second branch of the Lu family and let Su Qingwan handle them. She believed that Su Qingwan's skill, shrewdness, and composure would surely help Lu Jing reach new heights. She just needed not to cause trouble.

Lu Yuntang was depressed for several days, but she quickly cheered up and followed Zhang's arrangements to meet a man. They were soon engaged to Zhang's sister-in-law's family, a family she knew well. Although their social standing wasn't high, they were reliable and ambitious. Given her past with Chen Nanhuai, Lu Yuntang wasn't suited to marry into a wealthy or powerful family. If she married into such a family and the affair came to light, she would inevitably suffer. She had a long life ahead of her and needed to be fully prepared.

Both Zhang and Lu Yuntang accepted it.

Chen Lanzhu said with some regret, "Originally, the Third Miss was the Prince's own sister, so her marriage should have been the best one, but unexpectedly..."

One marriage ruined her future.

Su Qingwan smiled and said, "There's still a long way to go. Just because things aren't good now doesn't mean they won't be good in the future."
