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

Chapter 385 Mother and Son
Lu Jing felt a warmth in his heart. He knew Su Qingwan was telling the truth. She was a person with strong boundaries. If someone could be her family, she would protect them with her life and was willing to give them all her trust. When he went to Huainan to discuss the marriage alliance, she was still wary of him and very guarded. He and Su Qingwan had never truly talked about love and trust. It was too heavy a topic. There were some things they were ashamed to say. They always did more than they said. But gradually, he could feel Su Qingwan's trust in him, and he could feel that she regarded him as her life partner and someone close to her.

These feelings flowed gently and deeply; without being spoken, they could both feel the intensity of each other's emotions. Lu Jing also knew that Su Qingwan would not question him.

Lu Jing kissed her cheek. "Xiao Wu, I was really worried that if Nian Qing didn't survive the plague, would you suspect me?"

“It’s only human nature!” Su Qingwan chuckled. “His Highness suspected you immediately. If Nianqing doesn’t survive the plague, you won’t have a chance to explain. His Highness will kill you and won’t allow you to enter the city. If you enter the city, you must take Nianqing with you.”

The princess is capable of such things. If Nianqing is gone, she will no longer be able to distinguish right from wrong.

Lu Jing said, "Fortunately, I brought him back."

"Speaking of which, why did Nianqing go to the capital? Didn't you try to persuade him to stay in Huainan?"

"Our nephew is quite stubborn. Everyone tried to dissuade him, even the Marquis of Ningyuan threatened to die for him, but he still insisted on going to the capital. Even if he did go to the capital, he could at least wear a mask to cover his face. Many people in the capital have seen his true face, but he still refused. He wouldn't even disguise himself. He just openly entered the palace as the young master of the Princess's residence. Many civil officials were shocked, especially those who had seen him before. He didn't hide anything and called Your Highness 'Mother.' Nianqing doesn't seem to want to hide his identity or disown his mother for the sake of family ties. They couldn't persuade him otherwise."

Although he was young and gentle, he had a very distinct personality, was independent, and made decisions decisively, not allowing others to question him.

A born handsome man!
No wonder that in just one year, Marquis Ningyuan and General Chen and others were very impressed with him.

Su Qingwan had never been to Xilin or the military camp, so she didn't know how much prestige Nianqing held. Lu Jing, on the other hand, could clearly feel the pressure from the Prince of Huainan after just one trip to the military camp.

Nianqing was probably one of the youngest people in the army, yet he was able to keep a group of veteran generals in check.

Su Qingwan was startled and hurriedly sat up. She hadn't gone to the palace and didn't know the situation was like this. Had Nianqing gone mad? If that was the case, the news that he was the son of the Prince of Huainan would spread far and wide.

Will the princess agree?

"How did the court officials react?" Su Qingwan asked nervously.

"It's a delicate matter, with differing accounts. His Highness also revealed Nianqing's identity in court. When she married your brother in Huainan, there were several veteran generals as witnesses. Nianqing was born posthumously, and his appearance proves everything. Back then, she married into the Lu family to control the court. With the veteran generals as witnesses, there's no problem with Nianqing's identity. However, the censors will use this as an excuse to stir things up, and this matter will drag on for a few days. We'll see how the princess and Nianqing resolve it." Lu Jing wasn't worried at all. The military power was in the hands of the princess and her son, and they were of royal blood. What did the old ministers have to worry about? The military officers had already been won over. As long as Nianqing reassured them, they would accept it.

If his relationship with the princess is kept secret, it will only lead to endless troubles in the future.
