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

Chapter 76 The eldest son

He said that he came to talk to Su Qingwan about returning to the city, but after sitting down, he didn't say a word. He was very elegant and quickly rolled up the food on the table into his stomach.

Su Qingwan drank half a bowl of chicken soup when she heard Lu Jing calling Qingqing for more rice. It was visibly that most of the dishes on the table were gone.

Su Qingwan, "..."

He looked like he hadn't had a full meal in ten days or half a month.

"Why are you so hungry?"

"Zhou Jingming couldn't control the people on the farm, so I had to eat wild vegetable porridge for two days."

Su Qingwan raised her eyebrows, quite surprised. Lu Zhu had never asked her to worry about trivial matters on the farm, so she naturally didn't know about them.

Luzhu looked up at the sky and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

But I was filled with surprise and doubt.

The relationship between the girl and the third young master doesn't seem to be so tense anymore.

The girl actually cares about whether he is hungry?

Su Qingwan was very protective of her shortcomings. She ignored Lu Jing's complaint and changed the subject, "My mother asked me to come to the farm to reflect on myself. Without her order, can I go back home?"

"I can make the decision!" Lu Jing made the final decision. He was the most powerful person in the Lu family. Even though Lin was the elder, she could not interfere with his decision. "The farm is dangerous. We can't stay here any longer."

Su Qingwan drank her soup slowly and asked calmly, "You said you would give me an explanation for this matter. Do you still mean it?"

Lu Jing put down his bowl and chopsticks, his eyes deep and unfathomable in the afterglow of the setting sun, "Forget it!"

Su Qingwan didn't think Lu Jing would kill his own relatives for the sake of justice. Even though they shared life and death, they didn't develop the trust of relying on each other. "I'll wait!"

"Can you hand over the person that my sister-in-law locked up in the cellar to me?" Lu Jing went straight to the point.

Lu Zhu blurted out, "How do you know?"

"There are no secrets under the eyes of the Jinyiwei!" Lu Jing glanced at her, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry. Zhou Jingming and Li An had found out all the details on the first day they came to the farm, including the man in black imprisoned in the cellar.

Su Qingwan originally planned to hand the person over at a later date without anyone noticing. It didn't have to be handed over to Lu Jing, but she could also hand him over to the eldest princess to prove Li Xueying's guilt.

I didn't expect Lu Jing's people to be so perceptive.

"That man has poison between his teeth. He is a murderer. Luzhu has been keeping a close watch on him since he was locked up in the cellar. He is afraid that he will commit suicide and cut off all clues. Since you keep your word, I will hand him over to you." Su Qingwan said in a light voice, "Luzhu, hand him over to the Jinyiwei."

"Yes!"

Luzhu went to the cellar personally to bring people.

"Sister-in-law had long anticipated that Madam Li would send people to kill you, and she also knew that the bandits were from the Li family. She was deliberately waiting to catch her with evidence. This time the evidence is irrefutable, and she can't escape again." Lu Jing never pointed out this matter.

"I didn't force Li Xueying to send someone to kill me." Su Qingwan's eyes were filled with a smile, "She was narrow-minded and wanted to kill me. It was like this a year ago and it's like this again now. If I hadn't been prepared and couldn't protect myself, I don't know how many times I would have died."

Lu Jing was silent. He knew clearly that Li Xueying was indeed stupid, but his sister-in-law must have gone to great lengths to use herself as bait. That's why Li Xueying wanted to kill him.

She did it on purpose.

But what's wrong with her?

Su Qingwan looked into the distance. The setting sun was hidden behind the mountains, and the sky was dim. "It's a pity that I am a merchant girl, powerless. The Lord of Anping is in a high position and has great power. Li Xueying wants to kill me unscrupulously. Even if there is irrefutable evidence, I may not be able to get revenge." "I will help you!"

Su Qingwan looked at him in surprise.

Lu Jing's eyes were deep, heavy, and filled with emotions that she couldn't understand. It was like the calm before the storm, or the danger undercurrent.

"I'll help you get revenge!"

This was the first time that Lu Jing clearly stated that he would stand on Su Qingwan's side and avenge her.

Su Qingwan said sarcastically, "I'm afraid you are just wishful thinking, and your brother may not be willing to give up."

"Sister-in-law, don't you believe me?" Lu Jing looked at her steadily. There was a murderous aura in his calmness, just like the Embroidered Spring Sword that he never left.

Su Qingwan didn't believe that he would kill his own relatives for the sake of justice, and she didn't believe that Lu Jing would avenge her unconditionally.

She will take revenge herself and doesn't want to owe Lu Jing a favor.

"Okay, I believe you!" Su Qingwan said with a smile, "Then I will wait and see Li Xueying suffer the consequences of her own actions and pay for her murder."

After they finished their dinner, Qingqing came with her maid to clear away the cups and plates and replaced the tea.

Lu Zhu also brought the dying man in black over. He tried to commit suicide several times but was stopped. Lu Zhu pulled out all his teeth to prevent him from committing suicide again.

He spoke and curled up on the ground, staring at Su Qingwan and Lu Jing fiercely, as if he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from them.

Lu Zhu said, "This man is cunning, Third Master, you must keep an eye on him, lest he commit suicide and die without any evidence."

"Don't worry!" Lu Jing said coldly. Li An, who was outside the door, came over to take the people away. Lu Jing said, "Sister-in-law, if you take revenge and Li Xueying pays the price, will you and your brother...get divorced, or live in peace?"

Su Qingwan narrowed her eyes and looked at him coldly, "This is not something you should ask about."

"I overstepped my authority." Lu Jing did not avoid her gaze and said in a deep voice, "All the troubles were caused by Madam Li. If she is brought to justice and pays the price, I hope my sister-in-law can let go of her hatred and have a harmonious family."

"Is this the condition for you to help me with my revenge?" Su Qingwan's eyes were slightly cold. "Do you think Lu Feng and I can continue our relationship?"

Lu Jing shook his head. "After Li Xueying was executed, whether you and your brother reconciled or divorced, it has nothing to do with me. I just hope that my sister-in-law will not vent her anger on the Lu family anymore."

Su Qingwan smiled, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, I won't implicate the innocent."

"..." Lu Jing pursed his lips, knowing that Su Qingwan had something else in mind. His eyes darkened slightly, "Sister-in-law, after Li Xueying is executed, if you cause trouble again, I will never sit idly by."

The two of them stared at each other coldly, with a clear distinction between them and a hint of tension, and neither of them was willing to take a step back.

"Okay!" Su Qingwan thought to herself, then I'll wait!

Lu Jing stood up, bowed to Su Qingwan, and left.

Lu Zhu came over to refill Su Qing Wan's tea, frowned and asked, "Miss, what does the Third Young Master mean?"

"After the incident at Nanfeng Tower, Lu Jing suspected that I was related to the Huainan Death Soldiers. He focused on whether I was colluding with the Huainan Death Soldiers, and didn't care about what was happening in the inner house. Therefore, I attacked Li Xueying in the Princess's Mansion, which led to Lu Feng's demotion, which was beyond his expectations. He deliberately sent me to the farm and saw through my plot. If he continued to let me take revenge on Lu Feng, the Lu family would never have peace, and it would be far more than just Lu Feng's demotion. Therefore, Lu Jing was warning me that since I had taken revenge, I should not cause trouble, otherwise, he would be my enemy."

Lu Zhu said, "The Third Young Master is obsessed with the Lu family. He is more like the eldest son of the Lu family. He was wronged to be born after Lu Feng."

Su Qingwan also agreed with Lu Zhu's words. Lu Feng was indeed unable to shoulder the responsibility of the eldest son.
