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

Chapter 1 Su Qingwan

It is a sunny and windy month in March.

The family of Lu, Shaoqing of the Guanglu Temple, was decorated with lights and was crowded with guests. Today was the wedding day of Lu Feng, the eldest son of Shaoqing Lu, and Li Xueying, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Anping.

Su Qingwan stood in front of the Lu family in a white dress, looking up at the majestic mansion, hatred flashing across her eyes. Her twin sister Xie Zhaolan was Lu Feng's original wife. They had been married for three years and were a loving couple that everyone envied. She was murdered a year ago, and the Lu family hastily collected the body and announced the death of the eldest daughter-in-law to the public.

Lu Feng had just completed a year of mourning for his wife when he married Li Xueying, the eldest daughter of the Earl of Anping. Although it was a second marriage, the scene was very grand and spectacular.

She and her sister had been separated for twelve years, and when they met again, she saw her sister fall off a cliff and her life was hanging by a thread. They only met briefly before they were separated forever. Su Qingwan vowed to avenge her sister.

Over the past year, Su Qingwan has been investigating the truth behind her sister's murder. The woman in red whom she saw at the foot of the cliff that day was none other than Li Xueying. After an accidental encounter, Li Xueying fell in love with Lu Feng at first sight. After learning that Lu Feng already had a wife, she relied on her noble birth to kill her sister and take her husband away.

Lu Feng...is heartless and ungrateful. He turned a blind eye to others just because he wanted to climb the career ladder by climbing up the Anping Earl's Mansion.

Su Qingwan was filled with hatred. "My sister is in the underworld, but you are still enjoying your wedding night. How can this be justified in this world? Life for life, I will make you all pay the price!"

In the wedding hall, Lu Shaoqing and his wife were waiting for the newlyweds to perform their ceremony with smiles on their faces.

"Worship heaven and earth."

"Two thanks to the high hall."

"Husband and wife bow to each other."

Amid the host's shout, Lu Feng and Li Xueying were about to bow to each other as husband and wife.

"Wait!" Su Qingwan's voice suddenly interrupted the sound of ceremony and music, followed by screams and the chaotic sound of falling cups and plates outside the wedding hall.

“Ahhh, ghost, ghost…”

Su Qingwan walked through the panicked crowd and entered the wedding hall. Lu Shaoqing and his wife suddenly stood up, their faces changed drastically. Lu Feng was even more frightened and stunned, blurting out, "Zhao Lan?"

Someone among the younger generation of the Lu family shouted "sister-in-law" and was quickly covered in the mouth. Everyone looked at her with fear and panic, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Husband, I am Zhaolan!" Su Qingwan's eyes were red, her body was trembling and she seemed to be about to faint. She rushed over and hugged Lu Feng, who was wearing a wedding dress, and burst into tears, "I finally see you."

Su Qingwan wants revenge, but has no evidence. Now she can only take a risky move and use herself as bait. Without risking the tiger, there is no gaining the tiger cub. She wants to return to the Lu family under the identity of Xie Zhaolan and make them all pay for killing her sister.

Lu Feng hastily pushed Su Qingwan away, "You are not Zhao Lan, who are you? Why are you pretending to be Zhao Lan?"

"Husband, you are newlywed, don't you want to recognize Zhaolan?" Su Qingwan acted as if she was heartbroken. She was extremely beautiful, and her tearful face was adorable.

When the original wife returned home on her husband's wedding day, it caused an uproar. The guests who came to the banquet gathered outside the wedding hall and talked about it.

Mrs. Lu scolded, "You are talking nonsense. My eldest daughter-in-law passed away a year ago. Everyone knows it. Who are you to dare to impersonate Zhaolan? Come here, what are you standing there for? Get her out!"

The housekeeper reacted and signaled two strong men to come over and carry Su Qingwan out.

Su Qingwan knew that the Lu family would deny her identity and even kill her to silence her, so she deliberately came back at the wedding to catch them off guard. Su Qingwan knelt down in panic, tears streaming down her face, "Mother, it's really Zhaolan. In the eleventh year of Jinghe, you personally brought my husband to the Xie family to propose marriage, three letters and six ceremonies, and eight sedan chairs to welcome me. Six days after the wedding, you fell seriously ill, and it was Zhaolan who took care of you day and night, looked for a doctor for you, and spent a lot of money to find a miracle doctor to cure your old illness. You also held my hand and praised me for being kind, filial and respectful, and said that you would treat me as your own daughter in the future. Have you forgotten all that?"

"Everyone in the house knows about this. How can you prove that you are Zhaolan? My eldest daughter-in-law passed away and her identity has been identified long ago. What is your intention in coming here to cause trouble on the day of my son's wedding?" Lin's expression was stern and she winked at the housekeeper again.

The housekeeper led people to arrest Xie Zhaolan. Su Qingwan struggled to break free and stood up, "My husband, we have been married for three years and we love each other. You studied hard, but who made soup and tea for you every night? You said that the shoes and socks I made were warm, so I sewed them for three years. A year ago, you were worried about passing the exam and got sick, so I went up the mountain to pray for you. Have you forgotten everything? Now, you don't even acknowledge your wife who has shared your hardships with you?"

In the past, when Xie Zhaolan fell off a cliff, her personal maid Qiuxiang also fell off the cliff and was rescued by Su Qingwan.

After she made up her mind to replace Xie Zhaolan's identity, she imitated her sister's words and deeds, and with the help of Qiuxiang, she found out everything about Xie Zhaolan.

Lu Feng calmed down and said, "Zhao Lan and I have been married for several years. She prayed for me but unfortunately died. I was extremely sad. I collected the body with my own hands. My wife Zhao Lan is dead. Who sent you to impersonate her and destroy the reputation of my Lu family?"

"Yes, yes, you are not my sister-in-law at all. My sister-in-law died a long time ago."

"You dare to come to the mansion to impersonate Xie just because you look like her. Aren't you afraid of losing your head?"

"Zhao Lan has been married to the Lu family for three years. Everyone in the Lu family knows you. You are not Zhao Lan at all."

The Lu family shouted loudly and denied Xie Zhaolan's identity.

Some of the guests were whispering.

"This person is so bold that he dares to pretend to be Mr. Lu's deceased wife on his wedding day."

"It's really hateful that a wedding banquet has turned into a farce."

Su Qingwan looked at the Lu family who were eager to cut off ties with her and sneered in her heart. Her sister married into the Lu family, took care of household chores, was filial to her parents-in-law, was loyal to her husband, and used her dowry to support the Lu family for several years without any regrets. However, this group of people wanted to put her to death in order to curry favor with the Earl of Anping.

Waiting for leisure to change but the old people's mind, but the old people's mind is easy to change.

What a bunch of vicious and ungrateful people.

"I don't know where this crazy woman came from, but she came to make trouble on my son's wedding day. Someone, kick her out and don't let her talk nonsense and scare the guests." Lu Shaoqing had a gloomy face and gave the housekeeper a look. The housekeeper had served him for many years and knew what he meant.

This is going to kill Xie Zhaolan!

Just one word, "crazy woman", was enough to shut everyone up.

The housekeeper and the servants guarding both sides came over to pull Su Qingwan. Su Qingwan bit the housekeeper's wrist hard. The housekeeper felt the pain and slapped Su Qingwan, "You crazy woman, you came to the mansion to make a scene and disrupted the eldest master's wedding banquet. You even dared to bite people. I will teach you a lesson."

The housekeeper slapped Su Qingwan several times in a row, her face turned red and swollen, and she fell to the side in a mess. Several girls in gorgeous clothes were indignant and wanted to speak up for her, but were stopped by the elders in the family.

Su Qingwan sneered with fierceness in her eyes. Since she dared to venture into the tiger's den, she would definitely force the Lu family to recognize her. The worse she was beaten, the crueler the Lu family would be to her, and the more others would pity her.

The Lu family is a family of scholars and they value reputation the most. She doesn't believe that Lu Shaoqing doesn't care about his reputation or official position.
