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

Chapter 97 Invitation

Li An raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Jing, thinking to himself, the master and the eldest young lady are at the bottom of the cliff... Can't it be true... No, no, no, how could he think about his master so much?
But the master had never been greedy for women, and he was full of vigor and vitality. It was normal for him to have a passionate relationship with a woman during a rainstorm. If they were not uncle and sister-in-law, rumors would have spread long ago, and Zhou Jingming would have even joked that he had survived a great disaster and was very lucky.

Precisely because they are uncle and sister-in-law, others dare not gossip or even make fun of them.

Lu Jing stood up and said calmly, "Go to Meilan Garden and ask her to go to the other courtyard tomorrow. I have something to say to her."

"……Yes!"

Li An thought to himself, what can't be said in the mansion? Why do we have to go to the villa?
After Li An left, Lu Jing stood up and walked to the window. It was hot in midsummer and all the peonies in the garden had withered. The courtyard was full of greenery and the fragrance of peonies seemed to still remain.

She said...she admired him?
She wanted to escape from the Lu Mansion so badly that she was willing to do so even with a divorce letter. She knew that she would have a hard life after getting the divorce letter, but she would rather fight to the death. After getting her revenge and fulfilling her wish, she just wanted to pat her sleeves and leave?
Lu Jing walked back to the desk, took out a painting and slowly opened it.

It was a picture of a lady.

But it is a very special picture of a lady.

The girl in the painting has a simple bun and a smoky blue hairband, which is elegant and graceful. There is no extra gold or jade on her bun, but she has a pink peony in her hair. She wears earrings made of white jade beads, and a smoky blue cross-collared silk skirt with large peony flowers embroidered on the hem, which makes her figure graceful.

However, the face of the lady in the painting is blank, without any facial features.

The painting of the lady seemed to have been rubbed countless times, and the edges were a little worn.

Lu Feng had been to the study room before, and must have accidentally seen the painting of the ladies. No wonder he misunderstood that the painting was of his eldest sister-in-law. The girl in the painting was not dressed like a woman from a noble family. She looked like a free and unrestrained woman from the underworld.

That day, the eldest sister-in-law took her second sister to sell wild fruits in a rural town. She leaned on the railing, her hairband fluttering in the wind, and her smoky blue dress was embroidered with large peony flowers.

The same headband, the same bun, the same dress.

For a moment, he was in a trance.

It was as if he saw the woman he had been dreaming about for two years.

When the eldest sister-in-law was in the mansion, she also wore a similar dress. The peony flowers embroidered on the dress were very unique and not the popular style in the capital, so her brother misunderstood.

Lu Jing closed the scroll, his eyes dark, "Who are you?"

In Meilan Garden, Su Qingwan frowned slightly after hearing Li An's words, "What can't be said in the mansion?"

"The master only said that he would be waiting for the eldest young lady in the other courtyard at noon tomorrow. I don't know anything else."

Su Qingwan thought to herself, what was going on so mysteriously? Could it be that he had discovered Chen Feng again? That was unlikely. Chen Feng had already taken his men away, and she had not made any move, so Lu Jing could not find any evidence.

"Okay, I see."

The next day, Su Qingwan took Lu Zhu out of the house. Lu Feng was unconscious, and Lin and Lu Shaoqing could not take care of her. She went to the trading company first and met the shopkeepers of Xie's trading company.

The shopkeepers now respected her very much. Even if Su Qingwan did not go to the company, they would keep the shop in order. When she went to the company, she would simply look at the account books and chat with the shopkeepers about the changes in the company.

Shopkeeper Xie is now convinced by her. The business has not encountered any difficulties from the Lu family since Su Qingwan took over. Even if there are some problems, she can solve them quickly after the shopkeeper tells Su Qingwan.

The shopkeepers didn't know how she did it, they only knew that the master's family was very successful in the capital and had extensive connections.

Chen Feng left a message at the business. After Su Qingwan read it briefly, she also left a signal for him. After discussing with the shopkeepers, she went to the Lu family's villa. That was Lu Jing's private residence. The housekeeper was waiting at the door and respectfully led her into the mansion.

"The master is still in the government office, Madam Young Master, please wait a moment."

Su Qingwan had recuperated here before, so she was familiar with the place and was not at all unfamiliar with it. She sat in the courtyard waiting for Lu Jing.

Spring has passed, the peonies have withered, but the fragrance of flowers remains in the courtyard. There is also a banquet table with winding water flowing in the courtyard. The deep courtyard and the winding water flowing are pleasing to the eye in the midsummer.

Every arrangement shows that the owner is a person who enjoys art.

But Lu Jing is not a man who likes to be pretentious.

"Miss, the scenery of the winding stream and flowing wine in the Third Young Master's villa and the Linxia Manor..."

"Lvzhu!" Su Qingwan interrupted her. Lvzhu's voice was stuck in her throat, and her expression, which originally showed some curiosity and excitement, disappeared.

The last time Su Qingwan recuperated, she stayed in her own courtyard and did not go out for a walk. This courtyard has winding paths and is a different world.

Luzhu thought to himself that it really looked like Linxia Manor.

That was the courtyard where the girl recuperated when she was in the southwest. On the anniversary of King Huainan's death, the girl would always stay alone in Linxia Manor for a few days, and others did not dare to disturb her.

The housekeeper brought tea and fruits and placed them in the pavilion.

Since Su Qingwan was the only one there, there was no need to have a banquet. A simple banquet would be interesting. The housekeeper said, "This courtyard was given to the master by a wealthy businessman. It was originally a garden, but the master turned it into a banquet hall and moved the garden to the backyard. He usually likes to take a rest in the courtyard."

There is a warm couch outside the pavilion, with curtains swaying in the wind. You can vaguely see a soft quilt inside the couch. There are flowers in the vase on the coffee table next to the couch, which is very elegant.

"Why do you want to take a rest in the courtyard?" asked Lu Zhu.

The housekeeper said, "The master works in the Jinyiwei and is under great pressure. He has a hard time falling asleep at night and often has to light calming incense. Smelling calming incense for a long time is not good for the body. If he doesn't light incense, he can't sleep all night and can only sleep well in the courtyard. The master said that listening to the sound of water is like lying on the sound of a zither."

Su Qingwan gently rubbed the edge of the cup with her fingers, but said nothing.

Lu Zhu said, "If you kill too many people, the ghosts will come to take your life, and it will be hard to sleep at night."

housekeeper,"……"

The conversation came to a dead end in complete silence. Even the butler, who was a very versatile person, was unable to respond for a moment and just watched the words fall to the ground.

Just then, Lu Jing came back.

After he left the court, he went to the Jinyiwei Yamen, still in his official attire. The housekeeper was overjoyed and hurried out of the pavilion to salute him. Su Qingwan said, "Luzhu, go wait outside the pavilion."

"Yes!"

Lu Jing passed by the housekeeper and Lu Zhu without stopping and entered the pavilion. Li An greeted Lu Zhu awkwardly and called her "Sister Lu Zhu", but Lu Zhu ignored him.

Su Qingwan sat upright. The afternoon sun was very bright and she felt a little hot. The housekeeper brought her some cold tea, which was very suitable for the season. The two of them had lived and died together under the cliff, and their relationship had eased a little. After returning to Beijing, Lu Jing also helped her send Li Xueying to the Shenjie Division. If the uncle and sister-in-law had not been framed for adultery, they could have established a cooperative alliance.

"looking for me?"
