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

Chapter 91 Miscarriage
The martial arts training ground of the Huainan Palace was bustling from morning till night. She often sat on the wall and secretly watched their martial arts competitions. Occasionally, she would sit in the courtyard to cool off and listen to the cold sound of weapons clashing.

Men of letters and nobility like to fall asleep to the sound of melodious music, but she likes to fall asleep to the sounds of war and clashing swords.

Ever since the ancestral hall was punished and Lu Feng said that his uncle and his sister-in-law had an affair, the martial arts training ground has been empty, without a sound.

The master and his servants were feeding the fish by the pond when Xuedan hurried in, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Madam, please, go and save our girl!"

"What's wrong with the second young lady?" Su Qingwan stood up and raised her palms upwards, signaling Xuedan to stand up.

"That brothel girl came to our house pregnant and insisted on serving tea to our girl, begging her to let her in after she got married to the young master of the Zhang family, otherwise she would hit her head against the doorpost and die." Xuedan cried with tears in her eyes. "Our girl had never seen such a scene before, so she didn't dare to accept her gift. She sent someone to escort her out of the house, but the brothel girl pulled her skirt and pestered her endlessly, and she actually...actually had a miscarriage, with a lot of blood... The girl was scared and asked me to beg the eldest young master's wife."

Su Qingwan's expression darkened, and she walked out with a wave of her sleeves. The nurse thought that she had not been confined yet, and should not leave Meilan Garden, and did not need to meddle in the Lu family's affairs. But then she thought again, the second girl often came to accompany the young lady to have fun, and the young lady treated her like her own sister, so the nurse could not persuade her anymore.

Lin was bedridden and Lu Yunshu was in charge of household affairs. The old servants in the mansion bullied her because she was young and young. Lu Yunshu's prestige had not yet been established, and she didn't even know how to stop the prostitute when she came.

A group of servants gathered outside the main hall. The brothel girl's family members had all come, demanding an explanation from the Lu family, or they would report to the police. The servants were pointing and talking, and some even laughed at Lu Yunshu for being beaten up by the brothel girl before she even married. As soon as Su Qingwan walked out of the courtyard, Lu Zhu shouted, "What are you all standing around to watch the fun? Get out of the way!"

The servants turned around and saw that it was Su Qingwan. She had a stern expression, her eyebrows were like snow, and she was like a knife that pierced through the sultry summer heat. They were as frightened as if they had seen Lu Jing. They all made way for her. All the laughter disappeared in the wind. Su Qingwan did not stop and walked all the way to the main hall.

Green bamboo led the way for her in front.

The hall was covered in blood. The brothel girl's brothers were ferocious and were demanding justice. Lu Yunshu and Lu Yunxiu were both in the main hall. They were so scared that their faces turned pale and they were at a loss.

The two were forced into a corner, looking miserable and without any of the dignity of ladies from noble families.

A group of men bullied a defenseless little girl.

Luzhu and Qingqing stepped forward and pulled away the men who were threatening Lu Yunshu and Lu Yunxiu. One of them bullied Luzhu because she was a woman and tried to fight back, but was knocked to the ground by Luzhu with a punch.

Lu Yunshu rushed over crying, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law...I didn't push her."

The prostitute falsely accused Lu Yunshu of pushing her.

Lu Yunxiu was so angry that her face turned red. "Second sister is right. That bitch fell down by herself."

Her voice was shaking and she was sweating profusely in such a hot day.

"Don't be afraid!" Su Qingwan said softly, "With me here, no one can bully you."

She looked around, "Where are the people?"

Lu Yunxiu said, "The doctor is here and is examining her in the hall next door."

"Who are you!" a man asked in a rude manner, as if he was about to take action, but because of the green bamboo, he did not dare to act rashly.

Su Qingwan flicked her sleeves and looked at him coldly without answering. She sat aside and watched the group of men making trouble calmly.

"and who are you?"

The brothel girl's surname was Lu, and there were four brothers in her family, all of whom came to seek justice for her. Su Qingwan looked at the Lu brothers, all of whom were wearing coarse cloth and shorts, and their faces were dark, probably because of years of hard work in the scorching sun, and they looked like tenant farmers on the farm. "You, the Lu family, caused my little sister to have an abortion. You must give an explanation for this, otherwise we will report it to the police. You, the Lu family, treat human life as worthless!" The eldest brother of the Lu family did not hide his purpose.

Lu Yunxiu said angrily, "He asked us to pay 500 taels of silver. It's too much."

Lu Yunxiu's current monthly allowance is two taels of silver. Because Lin is ill and Li Xueying is in the Shenjie Division, housekeeper Lu Yunshu knows that there is not much money in the account and the monthly allowance has not yet been paid.

Five hundred taels is a considerable sum of money.

Twenty taels are enough for an ordinary farmer's expenses for a year.

"You caused my younger sister to have an abortion. Five hundred taels is a bargain for a life. The Lu family is a prominent family, and five hundred taels is a drop in the bucket for you. We will naturally not bother you anymore after we get the money." The second elder brother of the Lu family also took advantage of the fact that the Lu family was made up of only women. He looked at Su Qingwan presumptuously with an extremely unpleasant look.

Su Qingwan glanced at them. The three brothers of the Lu family brought six men with them. They should be from the same clan or acquaintances. She smiled coldly and ordered, "Luzhu, send someone to invite the young master of the Zhang family and close the gate of the mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes!"

"You..." The eldest brother of the Lu family's expression changed. He looked at Lu Zhu and hurriedly walked out of the main hall. He was panicked. "What are you going to do? Are you going to kill someone to silence him?"

"We have informed the elders of the Lu family before we came here. If we don't return before dark, they will report to the police. Even if the Lu family is rich and powerful, don't think you can cover up everything and treat human life as worthless."

Su Qingwan chuckled and raised her chin slightly. Qingqing invited the steward from Lu Jing's courtyard to come over, drove the servants who were watching to the outer courtyard, and ordered the palace soldiers to circle them, not allowing anyone to leave.

The flower hall became quiet in an instant. A dozen palace soldiers armed with swords stood in line outside the main hall. There was total silence, which was a far cry from the noisy scene just now where servants were watching the fun.

The murderous aura instantly filled the entire courtyard.

The Lu brothers had never seen such a scene before, and the people they brought with them looked terrified and a little timid.

"The Lu family is not a government agency, and no one will kill you." Su Qingwan's voice was cold and deep, and she asked curiously, "When you came to the Lu family to make trouble, did you ask what the young master of the Lu family did?"

Ordinary people only know that they cannot offend the rich and powerful, so they would never dare to cause trouble.

Su Qingwan thought they were ordinary farmers, and she probably only knew that the Jinyiwei killed people like crazy, were the henchmen that everyone feared, and were ruthless and cruel. If they saw the Jinyiwei on duty on the street, they probably wouldn't dare to look up. How could they know that Lu Jing was the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei and the son of the Lu family.

They were indeed confused and vaguely uneasy.

"I don't care what Mr. Lu did. My little sister was pushed down and had a miscarriage. You must give us an explanation."

Lu Yunshu wanted to argue, but was stopped by Su Qingwan's eyes.

"Why are you in such a hurry? The doctor is treating the patient and the person who should come hasn't come yet. Please have some tea and wait patiently."

Su Qingwan had an indifferent attitude and sent someone to serve tea. No one dared to eat or drink at Lu's house for fear of being drugged. They didn't know what this beautiful young lady was up to, so they were alert and uneasy.

Su Qingwan stopped talking, but Lu Yunxiu was unhappy, "Sister-in-law, just kick them out, why waste time talking to them?"
