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

Chapter 51 Kneel down
"Don't exaggerate. My grandmother is just in poor health. She has always loved me the most, so how could she not care about me?" Li Xueying was no longer confident. She vaguely knew in her heart that Li Xuehua was telling the truth. Although they were not on good terms, they were not enemies.

Now Li Xuehua looked at her with cold eyes and great disgust.

"You are just deceiving yourself!" Li Xuehua said, "It is because of you that your sisters have difficulty in getting married, and you still expect someone to give you a good face. No matter how much I hate you in my heart, I will be kind to you and protect you everywhere. Why? Because we are brothers and sisters, and if you become a drowning dog, I will not have a good ending either. We all prosper together and we all suffer together, but you will never understand. You caused trouble and became a joke, and your sisters are more panicked than you..."

Li Xuehua pointed at the ancestral tablet and said in a cold voice, "Ancestors, I am speaking from the heart."

She lowered her head and looked at Li Xueying coldly.

"Why do not you go to hell!"

If she died, no one in the clan would be implicated.

"How dare you curse me!" Li Xueying shuddered all over and raised her hand to hit Li Xuehua. Li Xuehua dodged flexibly, took a few steps back, and looked at the angry woman with an even colder expression.

"There's a long time to go. Just wait and see. I want to see what kind of good end you will end up with!"

Li Xuehua walked away. Li Xueying was so angry that she had a heart attack. Chuntao hurried in to support her and tried to comfort her. Li Xueying's well-maintained nails poked the floor and broke.

"girl!"

"Why does she dare to humiliate me like this... Anyone can dare to step on me now!" Li Xueying looked at the dark night outside the ancestral hall with hatred, "I can never admit defeat like this."

Lin brought Lu Feng to visit for several days in a row, but was turned away every time. Lin was so angry that she cursed Xie Zhaolan for being cruel at home, but Su Qingwan remained indifferent, and the two sides remained in a stalemate.

During this period, Lu Jing sent Li An to keep an eye on Xie Huai and Su Qingwan every day. Li An held a small notebook and recorded their whereabouts and conversations in detail, but Lu Jing could not find any clues.

The Huainan death squad disappeared without a trace and there was no movement in the capital.

In the Jinyiwei Yamen.

Zhou Jingming was also studying Li An's notebook. "Your sister-in-law and parents are visiting friends and sightseeing. They don't seem to have any connection with the remnants of Huainan. Ziyu, are you... overthinking?"

Lu Jing sat in the main seat and looked out with a deep gaze, "You also feel that there is no suspicion?"

Zhou Jingming said cautiously, "It depends on the evidence. There is no evidence that your sister-in-law has any entanglement with the remnants of Huainan. Let's not get entangled, otherwise it will be a waste of time. You are still a family."

"A family?" Lu Jing groaned, "Not necessarily."

If my sister-in-law thought of them as a family, she would not have plotted against Li Xueying and caused her brother to be expelled from the Hanlin Academy. She was seeking revenge.

"Zi Yu, let me be fair." Zhou Jingming sighed, "Your family's affairs have caused a lot of trouble in the city. My mother and sisters have also heard about it. They all sympathize with your sister-in-law. From her perspective, surviving a disaster and returning home should have been a happy event, but her husband got married and abandoned his old love, and you almost killed her. Now her parents are detained in Beijing. Everything is bullying her and she has no support. Others say that your Lu family is too bullying. You have a bad reputation, so you don't care about what others say, but it's hard to listen to if you say too much."

Lu Jing sneered, "My sister-in-law is being bullied and no one is backing her up? If you are blind, go ahead and dig your eyes out."

"What do you mean?"

"My brother got married because he loved the new and disliked the old. There was a lot of chaos at the wedding hall. What was the outcome? It was my Lu family's reputation that was damaged. Li Xueying was forced to be a concubine. My sister-in-law lost her husband's love, but she got the imperial edict and the red book. I didn't mean to hurt her in Nanfeng Tower. The Jinyiwei prison deliberately set up a trap to force a confession, but she escaped and got back the deficit she had made up for the Lu family for several years. At the princess's banquet, Li Xueying bullied her. In the end, my brother lost his official position, Li Xueying became a laughing stock in the city, and she was unscathed." Lu Jing said lightly, "Who is bullying whom? It's obvious at a glance. Why is the good reputation hers and the bad reputation others have?"

Zhou Jingming was enlightened. "Hey, now that you put it that way... it seems to be the case. She looks like she was humiliated, but in fact, everyone she hated paid the price. What a good trick, what a scheme. Your sister-in-law... is really amazing."

Lu Jing glanced at him, and Zhou Jingming felt a chill down his spine. He coughed and changed his words, "A shrewd and calculating person."

"There must be something fishy going on. My eldest sister-in-law planned everything too carefully, which made me suspicious." Lu Jing said, "But I can't find any evidence. She hid it very well." "It's so tricky that it's so watertight."

"A passing goose leaves a mark. I don't believe she can calculate everything so carefully. It's not going to work if we do it openly. I should try another route." Lu Jing stood up and walked out. "I'm going to go out for a while. From now on, the investigation of the remaining Huainan gang will come to an end. All the personnel will be withdrawn."

"?" Zhou Jingming was confused and chased after him, shouting, "If we don't investigate, how will we report to the emperor?"

……

Su Qingwan took Luzhu out of the house and met Lu Jing and Li An at the door.

They stood under the banyan tree at the door. They didn't know how long they stood there. Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows slightly, Lu Jing strode over, and Li An followed closely behind.

"How's my sister-in-law?" Lu Jing was always polite whenever he saw Su Qingwan.

Su Qingwan returned the gift, "What are you doing here? If you want to plead for your brother, then there is no need."

"I'm here to apologize to my sister-in-law." Lu Jing said, changing his usual stern image and acting like a gentleman.

There was a hint of surprise in Su Qingwan's eyes.

"Strange."

Lu Jing didn't care about her ridicule. "After Nanfeng Tower accidentally injured my sister-in-law, I became suspicious of her and detained the Xie couple in Beijing. It was my fault. I will let my sister-in-law punish me."

"Sincere?"

"Sincere."

Having said that, if one is sensible and considers Lu Jing's power, most people would keep quiet. Su Qingwan smiled softly, "Then kneel down and kowtow."

Lu Jing raised his eyes and stared at Su Qingwan deeply, as if he saw Su Qingwan's face clearly for the first time. If someone else was stared at like this, they would have been afraid.

Few people in the world can withstand the gaze of the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard that seems to see through people's hearts.

Li An was stunned and shocked, but he didn't dare to speak.

The wind is silent at this moment.

Su Qingwan didn't expect Lu Jing to kneel down and kowtow to admit his mistake. A man has gold under his knees. He should kneel to the king and ancestors above and to his parents below, so why would he kneel to her?

"It turns out that when Third Brother says he sincerely apologizes, he's just paying lip service to it."

Lu Jing lifted his robe, knelt down and kowtowed, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I did something wrong, I hope you can forgive me."

Li An, "..."

Su Qingwan was so frightened that she took two steps back, as if to avoid his gift, but she couldn't avoid it. Fortunately, the Xie family was at the deepest part of the alley and no one was watching, otherwise it would have been a spectacle.
