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

Chapter 80 Confession
Zhaolan was always sleepy, had a poor appetite, and felt nauseous during that period, and he thought she was unwell.

After Li Xueying became pregnant, she was always sleepy, liked acid and had a poor appetite. He realized later that Zhaolan had fallen off a cliff and might have had a child. When he woke up in the middle of the night, he was always awakened by the crying of a baby.

If there had been no Li Xueying, there would not have been such endless troubles, and he would not have had to run around so hard. If he had not entered the Hanlin Academy, he would not have been ridiculed and despised by his current colleagues.

Sanlang is in a high position with great power, and the brothers support each other, so his future in officialdom should not be too bad. Why is he so blinded by greed that he insists on currying favor with the Anping Marquis' Mansion?

Nowadays, disasters continue to occur, and perhaps... one’s life is in danger.

"What are you still standing there for? Go and ask Sanlang for mercy!" Li Xueying said anxiously.

"Sanlang has gone to the palace to report, and he hasn't returned yet. Where can I find him?" Lu Feng gritted his teeth, "You caused this trouble yourself, why do you feel so confident that you want others to settle it for you? Why don't you go find your father!"

"Who did I want to kill Xie Zhaolan for? It was for you and for my child. Do you have the heart to let my child recognize Xie Zhaolan as his mother? As long as Xie Zhaolan is here, we will never have peace. She was the one who instigated the situation in the Princess's Mansion. That's why I bumped into the young master of the Lu family." Li Xueying seemed to be crazy. "Xie Zhaolan died a year ago. Why should my life be filled with so many troubles because of a dead person?"

"You are really hopeless!" Lu Feng said in a cold voice, "You still don't think you have done anything wrong."

Li Xueying never felt that she had done anything wrong, she only felt that others were blocking her way. This was the pampering she had developed since she was a child. If there was a stone blocking her way, she could just kick it away!

Lu Feng thought, help her again!
They were tied on a boat, and they would prosper together and suffer together. If anything happened to Li Xueying, he would also suffer no good consequences.

He is Sanlang's elder brother, and Sanlang will not stand by and watch him die.

After this matter is settled, he will definitely restrain Li Xueying and let her live a good life. He will not target Zhaolan anymore, and he will not indulge Li Xueying. He will make peace with Zhaolan and treat them equally. If Li Xueying still does not know her limits, he will send her to the farm after she gives birth to the child. The Anping Marquis' Mansion made such a big mistake that the Lu family had to make up for it, and they dare not say anything about Li Xueying's affairs anymore.

However, Lu Feng did not wait for Lu Jing at home. Instead, he received an oral order from the palace. The emperor summoned Lu Feng, Li Xueying, and Su Qingwan to come to the palace to see him immediately. After Lu Feng received the oral order, he felt a chill down his spine.

Finished!

It's all over!
After the father-in-law left, Lin held Lu Feng's hand with a pale face and whispered, "If Li Xueying says that she conspired with you to murder Zhaolan a year ago, you must deny it to the end. She has no evidence and must not admit it. Do you understand?"

Lu Feng was slightly surprised. How did his mother know about this?
He originally thought that this matter was unknown to anyone and only he and Li Xueying knew about it.

"What are you standing there for? Did you hear me?" Lin shouted, holding on to a glimmer of hope, "Sanlang and you have a deep brotherly relationship, and he will help you."

"understood."

Su Qingwan sat in the carriage, slightly lifted the curtain, and looked at Lin's pale face as she instructed Lu Feng, and couldn't help but reveal a playful smile.

Now I know I'm scared. Why didn't you think about today when you harmed my sister?
She lowered the curtain indifferently.

In the side hall of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Lady Anping was so frightened after being summoned into the palace that her face turned pale. She could no longer hide what she had done for Li Xueying, and told him the truth.

An Pingbo's eyes were red and his heart was broken. "What did you say? You sent people to the farm to kill Xie. How could you...you are so confused? Do you want to kill everyone in the Li family?"

Mrs. Anping's eyes turned red and she was shaking all over. "Xueying made a mistake. After all, she is our precious daughter. She was bullied after marrying into the Lu family. I felt so sad. I originally just wanted to kill Xie Zhaolan without anyone knowing. She can live peacefully with Lu Feng and won't cause any more trouble in the future. How could I know that Lu Jing would also be at the farm?"

The Earl of Anping and his wife were a young couple. He spent his entire life in military service, while his wife took care of the household and raised the children. He never had any worries, so he respected and loved his wife.

His harem was quiet, with only two concubines given by the old lady of the Marquis of Anping. Although they both gave birth to children, they were far inferior to his wife. The children born to the Marquis of Anping's wife were also his favorites.

Li Xueying was the daughter they had waited so long for after they had two sons. She was his only legitimate daughter and he loved her since she was young. Although she was spoiled and became arrogant, Earl Anping never thought that his daughter was cruel and ruthless and would dare to kill anyone.

The Marquis of Anping paced in the side hall, cold sweat all over his forehead. Lu Jing was being hunted down at the farm and fell off a cliff. General Wude arrested people to fill in the numbers and deceived the emperor. If it weren't for his military merits, at least his entire family would have been executed.

This matter has become too big. He vaguely heard that it was related to the Huainan assassins. It would be fine if the emperor summoned him, but why did he summon his wife? Has he already investigated it clearly?
He and his wife are waiting to see the emperor in a side hall. What kind of punishment will they receive?
If it is related to the Huainan assassins, it will be a disaster for the entire family.

"Master, what should we do now?" Lady Anping was already at a loss. "I sent the assassins in my family to do it. After the incident, I ordered them to stay away from Kyoto. I was afraid of being implicated after General Wude's accident. I thought about killing them to silence them, but I couldn't bear it. After all, they have worked hard for our family for many years. I asked them to hide in the mountains and wait for the storm to pass. The emperor summoned me to the palace. Did he... did he find out about it a long time ago? What should I do?"

"Madam, listen to me. If the emperor asks, you must tell the truth and explain everything clearly. Don't hide anything. Do you understand?"

"Tell the truth, the emperor will be furious, will he punish you?" Lady Anping's eyes were red, "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have indulged Xueying, I made a big mistake in a moment of thought, how could I be so foolish!"

"Since the emperor has summoned us to the palace, he has already investigated everything. If you conceal or deny it, it is a crime of deceiving the emperor. Think about what happened to General Wude!" Anping Bo said sternly, "If his wife was not a member of the royal family, her entire family would have been executed long ago. How could it be as simple as dismissal? If you deceive the emperor, our whole family will be beheaded. This matter must be told clearly!"

Lady Anping burst into tears, "I understand."

"You shouldn't have indulged Xueying like this. This is murder. How could she be so brave at such a young age? And how dare you do such a thing for her?"

It is true that a loving mother often spoils her child.

But he couldn't say such harsh words to his wife.

Although Li Xueying was arrogant and unruly, his wife had brought up his legitimate son to be a complete talent in both civil and military affairs. His eldest son was now on the battlefield in the northern border, defending the border and expanding the territory, and his second son was also serving in the navy in the south of the Yangtze River. The Li family could be said to be full of loyal and brave people. He thought that if he confessed his crime truthfully, the emperor might give him a lighter sentence.
