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

Chapter 389 The Doorway
After Nianqing left, Lu Jing returned to the Prince's Mansion. He knew that Nianqing had come to see her, but he didn't disturb them, allowing the aunt and niece to spend time together. Su Qingwan was grateful for his thoughtfulness.

"Have you talked to Nianqing about it too?"

As the sun began to set, the room grew dim and no lights were on. Lu Jing felt that Su Qingwan's eyes were brighter than the stars and very gentle; he was almost completely absorbed in her gaze.

Lu Jing thought to himself that Nian Qing must be very happy to see him. Since she was in such a good mood, she must be relieved to see Huainan.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Su Qingwan nodded, and Lu Jing chuckled and said, "I haven't talked to him. Nianqing is quite stubborn and doesn't like to open up to people. He respects me more than he is close to me. Perhaps he also knows that I am the Regent, and that our identities have always been hostile. He also has some misunderstandings about me. Therefore, he doesn't like me and won't talk to me about his inner thoughts."

"What misunderstanding is there?" Su Qingwan asked in surprise.

"It's not exactly a misunderstanding. He thinks I forced you into this situation and that I don't like you, so I forced you to go to the capital as a hostage. If it weren't for my marriage alliance with you, you could have stayed in Huainan. Besides, you risked your life to give birth this time, and for various reasons, I wasn't by your side. It's inevitable that he would have some prejudice against me."

"You were also forced into this situation. Nianqing is still young and may not understand these things. He'll be better when he's older. He confided in me, and I know his thoughts. Although I don't agree with them, he has his own principles, and he convinced me. Nianqing is the last bloodline left by my elder brother and the only male heir of my Huainan Prince's Mansion. He will be the one to uphold the honor of Huainan in the future. I hope he can be upright, honest, and trustworthy, and I also hope he will be devoted to Huainan and sever ties with the royal family. But I am not Nianqing, and I have never thought from his perspective, even though His Highness sent him to the mountain." He practices martial arts, but nominally a child of the Lu family, he is doted on and indulged by them. His Highness also loves him and protects him. Even the late Emperor… The late Emperor actually met my elder brother. His Highness was not in the capital for several months before the massacre of the family in Huainan. Nianqing looks so much like my brother, the late Emperor must have sensed it, but he didn't kill Nianqing, also out of consideration for blood ties. The late Emperor, His Highness and the royal family are also Nianqing's relatives; he has half royal blood in him. How can I demand that he sever it? It's much better for him to voluntarily expose himself than for someone to betray him and reveal his true identity to the public.”

Su Qingwan had actually been worried. With so many people around, there was a lot of gossip. She was genuinely afraid that someone might betray her and deliberately use Nianqing's background to their advantage. People's hearts are fickle, and who could guarantee that they wouldn't use this weakness to manipulate her and Nianqing in the future? Now, she had eliminated this potential threat.

In the long run, it is a good thing. However, there are many crises to deal with at present. Fortunately, Nianqing has just won a battle and is in high spirits. Although his background has an impact on him, there will be no turmoil in the army.

After Nianqing left, Su Qingwan thought about it carefully. This child was even more thoughtful than she was.

He kept saying he didn't want to become estranged from his mother, so he followed his heart and ended up forging a new path.

Lu Jing said, "Nianqing is very smart, smarter than you think. You really don't need to worry about him. Even if his identity is exposed and the people of Huainan know that he comes from the Li family, he still has ways to win people's hearts."

Su Qingwan nodded, "To be honest, I was really worried before I met Nianqing, but now I feel relieved. Huainan has a successor, and Nianqing will definitely be able to carry on the family's legacy."
