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

Chapter 98 Quarrel
Lu Jing tried to stop her from leaving the Lu family, but Su Qingwan was not happy with him.

"The Ministry of Discipline and Punishment has received news that Li Xueying has had a miscarriage. The Earl of Anping went to the palace to plead for her life. The Emperor, out of pity for her fatherly love, has released her."

Su Qingwan curled her fingers slightly, feeling a little surprised. Lu Feng and Li Xueying had divorced, and she was sent to the Shenjie Division to do hard labor. She was pregnant and had escaped death. How could she get out?
Su Qingwan's people had infiltrated the Shenjie Division, and it was easy for them to kill Li Xueying. Although she did not give any orders, they should have known how to act, and yet Li Xueying escaped.

"Do you know why she had a miscarriage?"

"Why?"

"After she entered the Shenjiesi, Lady Anping sent people to protect her. She didn't suffer too much, but last night someone grabbed her throat and tried to kill her. Li Xueying ran away for help and had a miscarriage. Anping's people made a big fuss about it, and Anping went to the palace to plead for her. The emperor felt compassion and allowed him to take Li Xueying home to recuperate. Many children in the palace died young, and the emperor couldn't bear to see women miscarry. Li Xueying has been punished and her reputation has been ruined. The emperor will not punish her again."

Su Qingwan smiled faintly, "She has no place to stand in the capital anymore. Evil deeds will be punished. I have...let it go. Let's forget about it. I never thought of taking her life."

Since the Shenjiesi cannot take Li Xueying's life, she will do it herself.

"Sister-in-law, Li Xueying deliberately fell from the second floor and had a miscarriage in a desperate attempt to get out of the Shenjiesi. Her body is broken. The imperial physician said that the miscarriage caused her great damage and she will not live long." Lu Jing didn't know whether he could see Su Qingwan's murderous intent, but he specifically reminded her not to get involved in human life. Li Xueying's life was over.

It is for this reason that the emperor showed special mercy.

Su Qingwan took a sip of herbal tea to suppress the murderous aura that had just risen up in her. This was great!

"Why did you tell me?"

Lu Jing stood with his hands behind his back, sitting on the railing with one hand casually resting on the railing. Although he was wearing the scarlet Jinyiwei official uniform, he had the arrogance of a young man from the capital.

He asked, "Last night I had something to discuss with my eldest sister-in-law, so I asked Li An to go to Meilan Garden to look for you. Unfortunately, he saw my brother coming to look for you, so he waited outside for a while for convenience and heard you and my brother arguing."

Su Qingwan, "..."

"Li An was terrified. He wrote it down word for word and told me everything."

Su Qingwan was silent.

Lu Jing said, "I was scared too."

Su Qingwan was embarrassed.

She picked up the cup of herbal tea numbly, and looked outside the pavilion with empty eyes. The herbal tea in the cup was gone long ago. She stared at the rockery and flowing water outside the pavilion, as if she wanted to see a peony flower.

Lu Jing asked politely, "Sister-in-law, do you have anything to explain?"

Su Qingwan had never expected that the nonsense she and Lu Feng talked about would be heard by Lu Jing. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into. Those words were too unorthodox and shocking. Lu Jing must be very angry.

"Where did Li An get into Meilan Garden? Why was he on the roof?"

Su Qingwan knew she was in the wrong, so she could only rack her brains to find fault with Lu Jing. She also sent Li An to eavesdrop? Not through the front door? With Li An's elusive skills, no one would know if he was lying on the roof.

Lu Jing's face didn't turn red, and his heart didn't beat. "Li An loves to climb over walls. I have already taught him a lesson."

Su Qingwan didn't even dare to look at Lu Jing. She felt very uneasy and wished she could disappear right there. She was deeply impressed by what she had said, which was too shocking after all.

She admired Lu Jing, and Lu Jing admired her.

Lu Jing didn't raise his sword to attack, which showed that he was quite restrained.

"If Li An hadn't eavesdropped, no one would know about this except Lu Feng and me. If anyone is to be blamed, it's your fault for eavesdropping." Su Qingwan had a cold face and refused to admit her fault.

Lu Jing was so angry that he laughed, "You ruined my reputation behind my back and blamed Li An for eavesdropping, sister-in-law... No one is better than you at making the accusation first. My brother just falsely accused me of coveting my eldest sister-in-law in the ancestral hall, and the poisonous oath I swore is still ringing in the ears of our ancestors, and you confirmed my guilt. Do you really want me to be struck by lightning?" "Once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back. You specially asked me to come to the villa. Are you going to call an army to punish me?" Su Qingwan felt that if she showed her head, she would be in danger. As long as she was thick-skinned, she could do whatever Lu Jing said, "Or you can send me to the Shenjie Division and accuse me of ruining your reputation and plotting against you?"

Lu Jing thought to himself, he really has nothing to fear.

He really didn't believe that he couldn't cure her.

"When I first heard my sister-in-law say that she admired me, I was shocked. But after listening carefully, I felt that... it was true. My sister-in-law didn't seem to be lying, right?"

"What?" Su Qingwan's hair stood up, and she was so frightened that it seemed like every hair was about to fly. "Are you crazy?"

"If you didn't really admire me, why would you lie to me for no reason? Or tell it to your brother."

"I deliberately angered Lu Feng."

"You're really good at using this kind of thing to irritate your brother. Uncle and sister-in-law are having an affair. It looks like a lie no matter how you look at it."

"You were the one who got sick first and stopped mother from writing the divorce letter. If you hadn't been so nosy, I would have taken the divorce letter and parted ways with you, the Lu family. I was deliberately taking revenge to provoke Lu Feng. If Lu Feng cared about your brotherhood, he would divorce me."

"You have a good plan." Lu Jing sneered, and seemed to have discovered something new. "Sister-in-law, if it's fake, why are you blushing?"

Su Qingwan's face became even hotter, "I am so angry at your shamelessness."

"I don't know who is so shameless to say that he admires me."

"Can you please stop mentioning that? I was just talking nonsense."

"You can say it out loud, but are you afraid of others mentioning it?"

"If you hadn't eavesdropped, you wouldn't have known anything about this. Who can you blame?"

"If you don't tell me, how can others eavesdrop on me and hear me?"

The two of them kept arguing over and over as if they were arguing about the same thing, their voices getting louder. Green Bamboo outside the pavilion was so angry that her eyes could kill Li An. After hearing such words, she actually dared to tell Lu Jing every word.

He is crazy!

Li An felt aggrieved. He was his master's man. How could he pretend he didn't hear the eldest young lady ruining his master's reputation? If someone else heard it and told his master, he would be kicked out by his master.

Su Qingwan was also forced into a corner, "What do you mean? You have to ask me to say that I like you before you are satisfied and happy. You are very unhappy when it is fake, and you want to make it real? Are you sick? Coveting the reputation of the eldest sister-in-law, is it good to listen?"

Lu Jing corrected her with a sullen face, "It's the elder sister-in-law who covets the younger uncle."

Su Qingwan, "..."

"It's not nice to hear!" Lu Jing asked, "Then why did you say it?"

Su Qingwan stood up, her face very solemn, as if a needle was stuck in her throat, it was painful but she couldn't pull it out, and her chest seemed to be bleeding.

She paced back and forth in annoyance, creating a gust of wind. The peonies on her skirt came alive, and the complex needlework wove into an intricate pattern that shone golden in the sun.

"What are you looking at?" Su Qingwan sneered, "If you don't covet my eldest sister-in-law, why are you staring at my skirt?"

Hurting each other, right?
