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

Chapter 54 Lu Yunshu

Lu Jing's tone was cold, and he had been in charge of the Jinyiwei for several years. The aura of his body made Lin and Lu Feng breathless. However, Lin relied on his seniority and said firmly, "Sanlang, don't interfere in the affairs of the inner house, so as not to cause gossip. It's better to leave as soon as possible. I have my own ideas!"

"Aunt, I won't interfere in the affairs of the inner house, but if my brother and uncle are involved in trouble because of the disputes in the inner house, that would be a disaster! Li Xueying had a conflict with her sister-in-law at the eldest princess's banquet, and my brother was demoted. If you don't beat my sister-in-law to death tonight, and she says a word in front of the eldest princess, do you think my brother can still keep his eighth-rank official position? If you beat my sister-in-law tonight and put an end to it, I won't say a word and will leave immediately!" Lu Jing didn't understand why they made such a complicated matter.

Lu Feng's eyes turned red with anger, "Sanlang, we are your family, why are you protecting an outsider!"

"Brother, if I hadn't protected you, I would have sent someone to investigate the truth after hearing my sister-in-law say that she saw Li Xueying when she fell off the cliff." Lu Jing asked word by word, "Can you and Madam Li... stand up to the investigation?"

Lu Feng, "..."

His heart sank and his face turned pale, but he knew that Lu Jing would turn a blind eye to his argument due to blood ties, and he found it difficult to refute it for the moment.

Lin was furious. "Can we bear it if Xie Zhaolan's maid dares to use a knife on us in the courtyard? Who among the daughters-in-law of noble families in the capital dares to be so arrogant? Even Li Xueying, who relied on the power of the Earl of Anping, didn't dare to do that."

"Then send my sister-in-law to the farm and let her reflect on herself. When she comes to her senses, we'll bring her back." Lu Jing said calmly, "You've caused enough trouble. Just keep quiet for a while."

Lu Jing looked at Su Qingwan deeply, then walked away!

There was no turning back on what Lu Jing had decided. Lin also thought that since she couldn't be beaten to death, she could just be sent to the farm. Sending the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family to the farm would be like an abandoned woman. Lin thought that Xie Zhaolan was spoiled, and if she was allowed to suffer in the farm, if she refused to plead for Lu Feng, she would have to stay in the farm and live like an abandoned woman for the rest of her life.

Lu Zhu said, "The Third Young Master is so vicious that he wants to send us to the farm."

Su Qingwan was very calm, "That's exactly what I want."

"Yes, what do you want to do, girl?"

"You'll know then."

Nanny Li also wanted to follow Su Qingwan to the farm, but Su Qingwan wanted her to stay in Meilan Garden. She had moved many things in the warehouse to Xie's house some time ago. But her sister had accumulated too many things in the Lu family over the years, and although they were some silver and white things, she didn't want to let Lin get away with them.

Lu Feng even threatened her hypocritically, saying that if she changed her mind and was willing to go to the princess's mansion to plead for mercy, he would pardon her crime and she wouldn't have to suffer at the farm.

Su Qingwan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Su Qingwan was surprised that Lu Yunshu wanted to go to the farm with her.

"The farm is quiet and deserted. It's the place where the women in the mansion who made mistakes were exiled. Why did my second sister follow me to the farm?" Su Qingwan had something to plan and didn't want to cause any trouble.

She clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and she did not hate the girls from the Lu family.

Lu Yunshu often came to chat with her and was easy to get along with. Su Qingwan liked her very much.

"I'm bored in the mansion and want to go to the countryside to relax. Mother agreed." Lu Yunshu said, "Good sister-in-law, please take me with you."

Su Qingwan was someone who couldn't stand being coquettish, especially from a delicate girl like Lu Yunshu. She nodded and said softly, "Okay."

The farm was in the suburbs and it took three hours for the carriage to get there. Su Qingwan and Lu Yunshu were in the first carriage, Luzhu rode a horse, and Xuedan and the other maids were crowded in the carriage at the back. The journey was not fast.

Su Qingwan had lived in the Xie family for some time and hadn't seen Lu Yunshu for a while. "Second sister, why are you so unhappy?"

They said they came to the countryside to relax. Once they were outside the city, there was green grass and clear sky. Lu Yunshu just lifted the curtain to take a look at the scenery without showing any joy at all.

"Mother said..." Lu Yunshu looked at her awkwardly, "After I follow you to the farm, I will let the maids there give you a good lesson and help you get rid of your temper."

"Okay." Su Qingwan was a little surprised that Lu Yunshu would tell her frankly.

Although Lu Yunshu was a concubine's daughter, she was raised together with Lu Yunxiu from childhood to adulthood. Although Mrs. Lin might be partial to her legitimate daughter, she never treated her harshly. She and the eldest daughter were both raised by the old lady.

The old lady was in poor health and went to the old house to recuperate, so Lu Yunshu returned to Aunt Zhou.

"Isn't sister-in-law angry?"

"Don't be angry. You are a daughter of the inner house. You must obey your stepmother's instructions in everything. Aunt Zhou doesn't care about things, so you can't make the decision on many things."

"Sister-in-law is so nice!" Lu Yunshu breathed a sigh of relief. "I feel relieved after saying this. Sister-in-law treats me well. I don't want to do anything to hurt you."

Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Okay."

Believe it or not, she knows it in her heart.

"Sister-in-law, I actually have something to ask of you."

Su Qingwan had noticed that Lu Yunshu was worried, so she didn't ask because she didn't want to interfere. When Lu Yunshu spoke, she just listened.

"what's up?"

"My mother has arranged a marriage for me. His surname is Zhang. He comes from a poor family. He was a classmate of my second brother in the academy and has passed the imperial examination. His parents are still alive. Although they are not rich, they live a good life. My second brother has been to his house and said that his family is simple, his mother-in-law is kind, and his father-in-law is easy to talk to. It seems like a good marriage no matter how you look at it."

Su Qingwan didn't care about the in-laws of the Lu family girls. This was the first time she heard Lu Yunshu talk about it.

She didn't like Lin, but she also said something fair, "Although mother schemed against her daughter-in-law, she was good to her children. The marriage she picked for the eldest daughter was the best, and I heard that her husband's family was also praised. The marriage she picked for you should not be a big mistake."

"Mother treated us kindly and she discussed the choice of a husband for me with my aunt. I don't like this marriage, but I don't resent mother. I'm not the kind of ungrateful person who is ungrateful."

"Why is that?" Su Qingwan had a special identity. The King of Southwest raised her as his own son. He wanted to fulfill her wishes, but it was impossible to raise her as a lady in the inner chamber.

The next year, she would be 20. In Dayuan, girls would start looking for husbands when they reached the age of marriage and would settle down early. A 20-year-old girl would probably have many children running around.

Su Qingwan has no intention of getting married and finds it difficult to understand Lu Yunshu's pain.

"On the Lantern Festival, my third sister and I were at the Lantern Festival, and we happened to see Mr. Zhang and a woman behaving intimately. The woman had a round waist, and seemed to be pregnant. They looked like an ordinary couple. My third sister was impatient and wanted to argue, but I stopped her for fear of misunderstandings and sent Xuedan to investigate privately." Lu Yunshu said, "I should have told my mother about this matter, and my brother would make the decision, but my sister-in-law passed away at that time, and my mother was busy trying to get close to the Li family, so I didn't want to trouble her. My second brother was a classmate of Mr. Zhang in school, and I didn't want them to have any conflicts and affect my second brother's studies. Xuedan was quite smart, and after a month of investigation, she finally found out the news. The woman was a girl from Qinghua Tower, and she was born beautiful. Mr. Zhang sold his land to redeem her and settled her in a three-courtyard house. Xuedan saw Mr. Zhang and her going in and out together several times, and they had a very good relationship."
