Chapter 49 Reflection
The housekeeper said with a wry smile, "Anyone who comes uninvited is an unwelcome guest. The master is not at home, and we, as servants, naturally do not know how to entertain guests. If you can't wait, go home."

Lu Feng was so angry that he kept pacing in the flower hall. He returned home just before Su Qingwan and the Xie couple came back.

The housekeeper said, "When the son-in-law left, he said that a woman should obey her husband after marriage. The eldest daughter is a wife of the Lu family. Staying at her parents' home for a short time will make people laugh. I want you to go home as soon as possible."

Su Qingwan said calmly, "Don't bother with him. Close the door and refuse visitors. Let him be turned away for a few days."

"Yes!" The housekeeper thought, a young lady should be so tough, a son-in-law who marries a concubine and mistreats his daughter does not deserve a good face.

Su Qingwan felt comfortable living in the Xie family. After washing up, she lazily sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air. Lu Zhu held a round fan to fan her. "Li Xueying got into trouble and was afraid of being blamed by the Lu family, so she hid back in the Anping Marquis' Mansion. Lu Feng didn't dare to cause trouble in the Anping Marquis' Mansion. He only dared to bully the girl. What a coward."

Su Qingwan chuckled and said, "He values ​​his career the most. He even sacrificed his wife's life to rise to the top. Now ruining his future is like ruining his life. It will be more painful than killing him."

Lu Zhu nodded and said, "Yes, Li Xueying likes Lu Feng and wants to be his legal wife, but she can only be a concubine. She also caused trouble and ruined his future. This couple will definitely be separated in the future. I really want to see them fight each other. That would be so satisfying!"

"Don't worry, the fun has just begun."

Su Qingwan lived comfortably in the Xie family, but Li Xueying had a very miserable life in the Anping Marquis's mansion. The Anping Marquis's wife took her home, and the Anping Marquis slapped her hard and made her kneel in the ancestral hall. If the Anping Marquis hadn't stopped her, he would have wanted to beat Li Xueying with a stick.

"A loving mother often spoils her child. It's all your fault for indulging her in lawlessness. The princess's mansion is not a place that allows her to be so presumptuous! The emperor summoned me to the palace today and reprimanded me in public, saying that I didn't teach my daughter well. Li Xueying, your father is already old, and you have brought shame upon me." The Earl of Anping was a veteran. He slapped Li Xueying so hard that she felt dizzy and almost had a miscarriage. Although he loved his daughter, he hated her for being reckless and implicating the family.

Li Xueying knelt in the ancestral hall and cried, "How do I know that he is the eldest princess's son? He was dressed casually and I thought he was a guard in the princess's mansion."

"You want to beat the guard of the princess's mansion to death with sticks. Who do you think you are?" Earl Anping was so angry that he couldn't breathe.

Li Xueying thought, he was just a guard, so if he died, he died.

The eldest princess still has to rely on her father, what can he do to her!
Mrs. Anping said, "Xueying, correct your mistakes and don't talk back to your father. You were wrong in this matter. Mother has long told you that you should be prudent after getting married, but you didn't listen at all."

"It was that bitch Xie Zhaolan who deliberately provoked me. She set a trap and deliberately harmed me. I want to kill her. I want to kill her."

Earl Anping shook his head in disappointment. He had a daughter in his old age and treated her like a pearl, but he never expected that she would raise such a curse.

"If you have a broad mind and a steady temperament, who can provoke you? You have caused such a big disaster and your husband was implicated and expelled from the Hanlin Academy. You... you still don't know your mistake. Li Xueying... How could a noble family raise a fool like you!" Earl Anping covered his chest and his face turned pale with anger.

Li Xueying had never heard her father say such harsh words, and she was a little afraid.

An Pingbo pointed at the tablet in the ancestral hall and said, "Our ancestors are watching us. Do you know that if the crime you committed today is any more serious, your family will be confiscated and your clan will be exterminated? I didn't die on the battlefield, but I lost my life because of my daughter's stupidity. I might as well die in the ancestral hall to make amends to my ancestors!" "Father, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!" Li Xueying knelt and crawled to An Pingbo's side, pulling his robe, "Father, don't be angry. Your daughter will never dare to do it again."

"You are always like this... You make a mistake, cry and act like a spoiled child, never remember the lesson, and keep making the same mistake again." An Pingbo said, "The marriage chosen for you by our family is well-known, and the husband is kind. You are not the eldest daughter-in-law, so you don't have to be the eldest wife of the clan. You can live a quiet life. But you don't want to, and you insist on marrying Lu Feng. You secretly met with a man outside, and you secretly got married. Either of these can cost you your life. As your parents, we arranged the marriage as you wished, but you caused him to ruin his future. He studied hard for more than ten years and passed the imperial examination. What did he want? You ruined his road to success. If you and your wife get divorced in the future, your life will be ruined too. Do you know that?"

Lady Anping comforted her, "Master, Xueying knows she was wrong. You have beaten her and scolded her. Calm down and think of a way to solve this matter now."

Li Xueying also hoped that her father could solve the problem. She really loved Lu Feng and didn't want to be separated from him. She also knew that she had caused a big disaster. She dared to be so presumptuous because of her father's support. She also hoped that her father could help her solve the problem as always.

"Father, you were able to get Lu Feng into the Imperial Academy back then, so you can definitely do it now. Just wait until the storm has passed and transfer him back." Li Xueying said, "My husband cares most about his career. As long as he can keep his official position, he will be patient for a while and will not be separated from his daughter."

"What did you say?" An Pingbo was incredulous. "Who said I arranged for Lu Feng to enter the Imperial Academy?"

Li Xueying was stunned. "Isn't it you? If it weren't for you, how could my husband be admitted to the Imperial Academy?"

"The civil and military officials of our dynasty are at loggerheads. How dare I interfere with Lu Feng's job arrangements!" An Pingbo said angrily, "You are too self-righteous!"

Li Xueying slumped on the ground, eyes full of astonishment. She felt a chill running down her spine. Lu Feng loved her and respected her because she told him that the Li family was behind his entry into the Hanlin Academy, and that the Li family would definitely help him enter the cabinet in the future.

She often talked about this matter, and whenever they quarreled, she would bring it up to intimidate Lu Feng, and it always worked.

If Lu Feng knew that the Li family had no contribution to his admission to the Imperial Academy, would Lu Feng look at her like this? What she boasted about most in the Lu family was her family background and the support she gave to Lu Feng.

"How could this happen…If it wasn't my father who helped, then who was it…" Li Xueying murmured to herself.

"Lu Jing is a big shot in front of the emperor. His brother is going to join the Imperial Academy. With just one word from him, the Li family is too busy to avoid suspicion. How could they get involved? How could you be so stupid!" Earl Anping couldn't help but vent his anger on his wife. "How do you teach her on a daily basis? Look at her... She is just a country woman with a narrow mind!"

Lady Anping, "..."

"Father, father, please help me!" Li Xueying was really scared. "Help my husband return to the Imperial Academy, otherwise he will definitely blame me."

"You are daydreaming!" An Pingbo pointed at her, "Kneel in the ancestral hall and reflect on your mistakes. When you return to the Lu family, admit your mistakes. In the future, you must restrain your temper, take care of your husband and children, and don't do anything that will bring disgrace to the family, otherwise I will not forgive you!"
