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

Chapter 77 Disaster
The next morning, we set off for Beijing.

Lu Jing had a serious back injury and could not ride a horse, so Zhou Jingming accompanied him in the carriage. Su Qingwan and Lu Zhu got on the second carriage, and the group headed for the capital in a mighty manner.

Zhou Jingming said, "Your eldest sister-in-law really knows how to enjoy life. The carriage is covered with thick cushions, and the cushions are covered with a layer of cool mats. There is also a tea table in the carriage with fresh fruits on it. She lives a very comfortable life and doesn't worry about rumors at all."

Lu Jing also leaned lazily on the soft pillow, and said in a somewhat unhappy tone, "Where are you looking at?"

"Oh, you're still angry. She's your eldest sister-in-law, not your wife. Besides, I saw it accidentally, not on purpose." Zhou Jingming said lazily, "She caused such a big commotion and caused your brother to be demoted, and you still protected her."

Lu Jing said calmly, "Why are you talking so much?"

Zhou Jingming raised his eyebrows and moved closer to him, "Zi Yu, something is wrong with you. Why are you so angry?"

Lu Jing pushed his head away with one hand and looked out the window. The sunlight came in through the car curtain and fell on his face, making his expression even colder.

Zhou Jingming was nervous, "Zi Yu?"

"After the Emperor learned about the Huainan assassination, did he say anything?"

Zhou Jingming's expression was slightly gloomy. Lu Jing had escaped death. He had planned to talk about this matter later, but since Lu Jing asked, Zhou Jingming couldn't hide it.

"The Emperor has always been resentful of the Huainan Death Squad and hates them to the core. We have been ordered to investigate for several days but to no avail. He has no patience to begin with, and you have been assassinated by the Death Squad, and your life or death is unknown. General Wude caused an uproar after he accidentally killed several old soldiers. During the morning court session, a censor pointed at the nose of the Five Cities Army and cursed. This order was issued by the Emperor. Although the crime was on General Wude, the censor implied that the Emperor was paranoid about the Huainan faction that had been dead for more than ten years, and General Wude was afraid of being punished, so he secretly attacked Chencang and killed innocent people. The Emperor was furious and beat the censor with a stick. The military officers jumped out to advise him, and the Emperor was so angry that he almost fainted. If there is no more news about the Huainan Death Squad..." Zhou Jingming looked at Lu Jing worriedly.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard is the emperor's sword. If this sword cannot kill the person he wants to kill, he wants to cut off the sword.

Lu Jing also understood what Zhou Jingming said, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

Zhou Jingming said, "If the Huainan death squad left the capital and hid, where can we find them? This group of people are good at assassination, spying, and hiding their identities. Unless we force them to show up, it will be like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"If we can't capture the bloodline of the King of Huainan, we won't be able to lure them into taking the bait." Lu Jing said calmly, "The emperor has been on the throne for more than ten years, and the eldest princess is in charge of the Military Affairs Office. The palace is heavily guarded. The emperor doesn't need to be so afraid of the Huainan assassins."

"Who says it's not, but who dares to say it?"

No one dared to say this except the eldest princess. Because she was engaged to the prince of Huainan, she would avoid suspicion about Huainan's affairs. They didn't know whether she had discussed it with the emperor in private. She never said a word about Huainan's affairs during the morning court.

"The trap set up by Nanfeng Tower is our best chance to capture the assassins from Huainan." Lu Jing frowned. Unfortunately, his sister-in-law messed up the plan and the plan fell through. "What a pity."

"Zi Yu, you are not still doubting your eldest sister-in-law, are you?"

"She almost died at the hands of the Huainan assassins. If I continue to doubt her, will it make me look... stubborn and self-willed?"

Zhou Jingming spread his hands, "Your eldest sister-in-law is so weak, it doesn't seem like she can suppress those assassins in Huainan. I originally thought that you were too suspicious. You wasted so much time on her, but got nothing in return, right?"

"Weak and frail..." Lu Jing sneered. He chopped off the head of a giant python with a knife without changing his expression. How could she be so frail? An ordinary man would be scared out of his wits when seeing a python like that, let alone a frail woman.

"No way, you still doubt her?" Zhou Jingming lowered his voice, "What hatred do you have with her? You are too persistent in holding on to her, Ziyu." "Maybe." Lu Jing knocked lightly on the windowsill and said lightly, "I shouldn't waste time on her anymore."

"I do have a plan to divert the trouble away."

Lu Jing sneered, "Push it to Earl Anping?"

Zhou Jingming clapped his hands, "We are indeed in sync. Li Xueying sent people to the farm to kill your eldest sister-in-law, but they happened to meet the Huainan assassins. It's his bad luck. If we push the blame on him, at least we can avoid the emperor's punishment and put an end to this matter."

"The Earl of Anping has fought in the northern border for many years and has made great military achievements. He has protected countless people on the border. How could you come up with such a false charge on him?" Lu Jing frowned and said, "Li Xueying is Li Xueying, and the Earl of Anping is the Earl of Anping."

"It's the father's fault if the daughter is not educated. He will inevitably be implicated."

"No need to mention it again. If the emperor has any punishment, I will take it." Lu Jing has his own principles in doing things. If the Earl of Anping has nothing to do with this matter, he will never blame him.

"Well, I was worried for nothing. If you get beaten again, you won't have that waist anymore."

The carriage entered the capital. Lu Jing first escorted Su Qingwan and her group back to the Lu family, and then he and Zhou Jingming entered the palace.

Su Qingwan was still weak. After Luzhu helped her into the hanging flower gate, Lin and Zhang came hurriedly to greet her. It was just past noon and there were only women in the house.

Lin and Zhang had received the news a long time ago, so they were not surprised to see Su Qingwan.

Zhang looked behind her and didn't see Lu Jing. She couldn't hide her worry, "Zhaolan, how is Ziyu? Is he injured? Why didn't he come back with you?"

"Third brother is safe and sound. Come back to the palace to report. Don't worry, aunt." Su Qingwan comforted him gently.

"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay!" Zhang patted her chest, "This bandit is so bold that he dared to go to the farm to kill people and rob. Fortunately, Ziyu met him when he went to pick up the second girl. Otherwise, how could you escape from those vicious monsters?"

Su Qingwan felt a little warm in her heart. She didn't expect that Zhang didn't blame her for involving Lu Jing. If Lu Feng was implicated by her, Lin would have blamed her long ago and wanted to use family rules to punish her.

No wonder Lu Jing was raised so well!

Lin looked ashamed, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have sent you to the farm, provoking bandits and almost killing Sanlang. Zhaolan, please don't blame your mother."

Su Qingwan thought to herself that Lin was really good at putting on a good show. It was clearly she who instigated Li Xueying to come to the farm to kill her, but now she showed a kind heart like a mother. It was really admirable.

"I made a mistake, and my mother sent me to the farm to admit my mistake and reflect on it for my own good. How could I blame you?" Su Qingwan's polite words were no less polite.

Lin was so angry that she almost bit her teeth off. She didn't expect Su Qingwan to come back alive.

She originally thought that Li Xueying was jealous and easily provoked. If she sent people to the farm to assassinate Su Qingwan, there would be no way for her to survive. If she died, the things that happened at the farm could also be covered up. The Xie family was far away in Jiangnan, and no one would pursue the matter.
