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

Chapter 398 Love
Nianqing's marriage was quickly arranged. The Sixth Princess was somewhat surprised to have been chosen, as both were too young. The marriage was to take place several years later. The Sixth Princess was to remain in the capital, while the Eldest Princess directly brought the Sixth and Ninth Princesses to the Princess's residence for upbringing, not wanting her to become too deeply involved with the Xilin royal family. No one dared to object; firstly, the marriage provided a formal status, and secondly, the Eldest Princess was powerful and influential. No one dared to contradict her decisions. The day after the marriage, the Sixth Princess was brought to the Princess's residence.

To avoid suspicion, Nianqing did not stay at the Princess's residence. He originally lived in the Huainan Prince's residence, which was quite peaceful. After the marriage alliance between Xilin and Huainan, the matter was more or less settled. Su Qingwan knew that Nianqing should also return to Huainan. He would not come back on New Year's Eve, and she didn't know when he would return. She couldn't help but feel a little reluctant to let him go.

No matter how reluctant she was, Su Qingwan knew that Nianqing had to return to Huainan and couldn't linger in the capital. She could leave the trivial matters to the civil officials, and if all else failed, Su Qingwan could handle the negotiations. The Princess also had the same idea; even though she knew the capital was under her control, she still hoped that Nianqing would return to Huainan.

On the day Nianqing left, Su Qingwan carried Xiaoyuer to see him off. The weather was cool and sunny. Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Next time you come to the capital, Xiaoyuer should be able to speak."

“When he grows up, I’ll take him horseback riding and archery.” Nianqing said with a smile. After playing with Xiaoyuer for a while, she bid farewell to Su Qingwan. “Aunt, be careful in the capital. I’ve left a few guards for you. If you need anything, just have them send a message back to Huainan. Huainan will always be your home.”

He knew that Su Qingwan was avoiding suspicion and not getting involved in Huainan's affairs, but Nianqing wanted to give her a sense of security. Her aunt needed to know that the whole of Huainan was behind her.

"Okay!" Su Qingwan felt a warmth in her heart. The wet nurse took Xiaoyuer away, and Su Qingwan gently hugged Nianqing. "You are alone in Huainan, so take good care of yourself, eat well, sleep well, and don't get sick."

"Yes, I understand!"

After bidding farewell to Su Qingwan, Nianqing mounted his horse, and the army set off back to Huainan. Su Qingwan felt empty inside; she knew she would never be able to return to Huainan in her lifetime.

But with Nianqing in Huainan, she felt at ease.

After Nianqing left the capital, Lu Jing also stopped taking a break at home and began attending court and handling official business. Life was peaceful and quiet. Su Qingwan managed the household affairs, overseeing the Xie family's business in the capital, as well as Huainan's business there. She didn't even have to worry about Xiaoyuer, who was too young to need her company. On the day the Earl of Anping returned to the capital, Su Qingwan was sitting in Nanfeng Tower discussing tea business with Manager Xie when she saw a procession of fast horses passing through the long street. Following the commotion, she realized it was the Earl of Anping returning. Lu Jing was very efficient; he should be heading to Jiangnan soon.

The Earl of Anping was nearly ten years older than when she first met him. He had long lost his former vigor and looked tired. Su Qingwan was not worried that the Li family could cause any trouble.

That's it, let the hatred go with the wind!

She won't take it to heart anymore.

Manager Xie called her a few times before she slowly came to her senses.

"It's okay, keep going!"

Manager Xie knew what was on her mind. "As for Miss's matter, Your Highness... please rest assured. If she knew from beyond the grave that you are doing well now, she would be very happy."

"I hope so, but I'm a little sad. My sister and I have been separated since childhood, and our sisterly bond is too weak."

Next time I'll just finish writing the ending and post it!
