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

Chapter 62 Borrowing a Knife
Lin was so angry that her teeth were itching, but she smiled and said, "Xueying, you are overthinking it. Your father and I are no longer angry with each other, and Feng'er has become much more stable. Let him temper his temper in the Imperial Household Temple. Don't be afraid, take care of yourself, nothing is more important than the child in your belly."

Li Xueying was thin and not very pregnant. If it wasn't for her grandson's sake, Lin would never have tolerated this. Even if the Earl of Anping was a nobleman, she would still have gotten angry.

Li Xueying thought to herself that her mother-in-law was very good at putting on a show. She might say nice things to her, but who knows what she was scolding her about in her heart.

Mrs. Anping said, "Xueying, take your mother-in-law in and sit for a while. Mother will ask the kitchen to prepare some food that you like."

"Yes, mother!"

Li Xueying obediently led Lin into the courtyard.

Her courtyard was elegant, with flowers blooming all over the garden and the fragrance wafting in the air. There was also a pavilion in the courtyard and a small lotus pond next to the pavilion. Li Xueying took Lin to the pavilion.

Chuntao quickly served tea and fruits. The tea was Liu'an melon slices, and the fruits were summer fruits that had been chilled in the well, refreshing, sweet and crisp. Seeing that she was living such a comfortable life, while she and Feng Ge'er had been living like fried in boiling oil recently, Lin became more and more unhappy.

Lin suppressed her anger, ate fruits and smiled without showing any sign of irritation. Li Xueying was confused. Her mother was gone, so why didn't her mother-in-law get angry?

"When will you go home?" Lin asked.

Li Xueying didn't want to go back to the Lu family at all, and she also knew that it was not a good idea for her to stay in the Anping Marquis's Mansion for too long. Even Lin came to see her in person, so it was time for her to go back.

She said tactfully, "The doctor said my fetus is unstable and prescribed some medicine to keep it stable. I want to wait until I feel better before going back. Is that okay, mother?"

"A married woman who lives in her parents' home for too long will cause gossip. The news has passed. Come back home as soon as you recover." Lin said.

"Yes!"

"If you come back, I will also bring Zhaolan back from the farm."

"Xie Zhaolan was sent to the farm by you?" Li Xueying felt pleased and said viciously, "Mother, if Xie Zhaolan hadn't deliberately provoked me at the Princess's Mansion, I wouldn't have made such a big mistake. Since she was sent to the farm by you, then don't take her back and let her fend for herself in the farm."

Lin's eyes flashed with coldness, and she said calmly, "If you hadn't lost your temper, how could she have planned this? You all should go home, and I can't let Zhaolan be punished at the farm. I think Zhaolan has realized her mistakes these days. Mother sincerely hopes that you can live in harmony and continue to have children for the Lu family. You are pregnant now, and you can't take care of Feng Ge'er. Zhaolan can help you share some of the burden when she returns home. Xueying, you should be more generous."

"What?" Li Xueying's dark eyes were filled with anger. "You still want Xie Zhaolan to come back and give Lu Feng more offspring? Are you crazy? She is not Xie Zhaolan at all."

Lin said earnestly, "Xueying, don't be hysterical. You are the only one who says Zhaolan is not Zhaolan. Xie has recognized her when she came to the capital. She is Zhaolan. I know you hate Zhaolan and wish she would die, but you always get stuck in your own imagination, making things difficult for yourself and others. Why bother?"

"Why don't you believe me? She is really not Xie Zhaolan!" Li Xueying said sharply, "She must have other intentions in coming to the Lu family."

Lin looked at her as if she was crazy. "Xueying, if you keep going crazy like this, you will lose Feng Ge'er sooner or later. I also want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. I regret Feng Ge'er marrying you. If time could go back, I would never agree to you entering the Lu family. Zhaolan is the daughter-in-law I am most satisfied with. She is very rich, gentle and quiet. When she is in charge of the household, the family is harmonious. What did you bring to us after you married into the Lu family? Rumors all over the city, the Lu family became a laughing stock, and Feng Ge'er lost his official position in the Hanlin Academy because of you. She is a lucky star, and you are a disaster star."

Li Xueying's face turned pale instantly and her body was shaking.

My face felt burning with pain, as if someone was slapping me repeatedly, and it hurt so much that my heart ached.

Lin smiled bitterly and said, "What can I do if I regret it? Nothing can be changed. But I will no longer indulge you and indulge Brother Feng in favoring his concubine and neglecting his wife. Zhaolan is my eldest daughter-in-law. She is steady and capable. She and I used to have a mother-daughter relationship. After she comes back from the farm, I hope you can get along well with her. That's all I have to say. Please think about it carefully."

Lin stood up, and just then Lady Anping came over after arranging the meal. Lin said goodbye to her. Lady Anping tried to persuade her to stay, but Lin said she was busy at home and could not stay long.

Lady Anping looked back and saw Li Xueying's eyes were red. She was also very anxious. She patiently saw Lin off. After Lin got on the carriage, she couldn't help but sneer. Li Xueying was a fool. She would definitely kill Zhaolan. It would be best if she could kill him. It would solve her biggest worry.

If there is any mistake, it is because Li Xueying is narrow-minded and cannot tolerate the legal wife. The Lu family can just give Li Xueying a letter of divorce.

No matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to her.

When Earl Anping hurried back to Li Xueying's courtyard, Li Xueying was so angry that she swept away all the tea cups, melons and fruits in the pavilion.

None of Chuntao and the maids dared to persuade them, so they knelt on the ground outside the pavilion, trembling.

Lady Anping was furious. "Xueying, even when you lose your temper, you should still consider the baby in your belly. What are you doing?"

"She actually advised me to get along with Xie Zhaolan and she also wanted Xie Zhaolan to give the Lu family more offspring. She said I'm not as good as Xie Zhaolan at all. How dare she do that!" Li Xueying cried, "How dare she humiliate me like this!"

Lady Anping was both angry and distressed. This was the child she loved so much that she loved and doted on him. But if Li Xueying was her daughter-in-law, she would have taught her a lesson countless times.

She had also heard rumors that Xie Zhaolan was virtuous and well-behaved, and that she and Lin had a mother-daughter relationship. If she were Lin, she would also prefer a daughter-in-law like Xie Zhaolan.

Lady Anping waved her hand and ordered Chuntao to take everyone out of the yard first.

"You've only been in the Lu family for a short time, and you've caused so much trouble. It's no wonder your mother-in-law doesn't like you."

"Mother, I am your biological daughter. Why are you siding with an outsider?" Li Xueying became even angrier. "You said that my mother-in-law would punish Xie Zhaolan before my child was born in order to get into our family. But now she is thinking more about Xie Zhaolan's good. Where do I stand?"

"You can only blame yourself for causing so much trouble!" Lady Anping couldn't help but blame her.

Li Xueying said, "Mother, please stop scolding me. What should I do about this?"

"What do you want?"

"I want Xie Zhaolan to die!" Li Xueying said, "She was sent to the farm by my mother-in-law, and this is the perfect opportunity to kill her. Mother, please help me again."

A year ago, Lady Anping tacitly allowed Li Xueying to send people to pretend to be bandits to kill Xie Zhaolan. Those people were all soldiers from the Earl of Anping's mansion, and they were very skilled.

Without her tacit consent, Li Xueying would not be able to do such a thing.

There are no such cruel means.

Lady Anping was very hesitant. If she did it again and made mistakes, it would be difficult to resolve the situation.

Li Xueying said, "Mother, if you don't plan for me, you should plan for the child in my belly. Do you really plan to adopt your own grandson to Xie Zhaolan in the future?"

Mrs. Anping was upset, "You really came here to collect a debt!"
