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

Chapter 2 Twin Flowers

Su Qingwan was held by two servants, her lips were broken and bleeding, and she cried out, "Father, mother, husband, I am Zhaolan, why don't you recognize me? I have been married to the Lu family for three years, filial to my parents-in-law, respectful to my husband, caring for my brothers and sisters, and working hard for several years, but you declared me dead for no reason? Is it because I was born into a merchant family and don't have the power and status of the Earl of Anping? Is it because my husband passed the high school entrance examination and I am a stone in the way, so you kick him away? Now, do you still want to kill me to silence me?"

Su Qingwan's voice resounded through the wedding hall like thunder. Lu Shaoqing and his wife and Lu Feng were filled with shock and anger. The onlookers were even more terrified, and they looked at the Lu family with extremely strange eyes. In fact, everyone thought so in their hearts, but no one dared to say it out loud.

Of course, the Lu family knew which one to choose between the eldest daughter-in-law from a merchant family and the eldest daughter-in-law from the Earl of Anping's Mansion. Lu Shaoqing was nervous and ashamed. If this news spread, the reputation of the Lu family would be ruined. No matter who she was, she must die.

"What are you all standing there for? Drag this crazy woman away!"

The housekeeper and the servants dragged Su Qingwan out roughly. Su Qingwan was beaten several times while struggling, very badly. Her sleeves rolled up while she struggled, revealing the red birthmark on her arm.

Lu Feng's eyes were filled with astonishment, his lips were trembling, and he took a step back in panic. He was supported by the bride nearby, and only then did he calm down.

Su Qingwan thought to herself, Sister, did you see it in heaven? The Lu family is a bunch of ruthless people. If you were still alive after falling off the cliff that day, you would have been forced to death by them.

Don't worry, Xiaowu will definitely avenge you.

Su Qingwan said, "I married into the Lu family, took charge of the household, and worked hard for three years. I have a clear conscience. Now you say I am dead, and I have no way to defend myself. Since this is the case, I will hit my head against the Lu family hall to prove my innocence. Even if I go to the underworld, I will be Xie Zhaolan!"

Su Qingwan got furious and banged her head against the pillar next to her. Screams rang out one after another, and Lu Shaoqing's eyes were red with anger. Su Qingwan was going to die in the wedding hall. The saliva of the censors would probably drown the Lu family, and his and his son's career would be over.

"Quick, stop her!" Lu Shaoqing shouted.

Just as Su Qingwan was about to be killed, a girl in a mountain green and white skirt quickly stepped forward and blocked Su Qingwan.

Su Qingwan bumped into her arms, and the girl held her against the pillar, "She is Sister Zhaolan, you can't treat her like this!"

"Third Miss, don't talk nonsense!" The girl's mother, Mrs. Shen, scolded hurriedly and tried to pull her girl away.

Su Qingwan curled the corners of her lips. This was the third daughter of the Shen family. She had a good relationship with her elder sister and was kind and innocent. She deliberately bumped into the pillar, expecting that the third daughter would come to stop her.

"Mother, she is Sister Zhaolan. Two years ago, Sister came to our house for a banquet. I listened to someone's instigation and deliberately poured a cup of hot tea on her. After you scolded me, you took Sister Zhaolan to change her dress. We all saw the birthmark on her hand. It was in the shape of a red leaf."

The birthmark was on the inner side of her forearm, and was difficult for outsiders to see except her husband and the maidservants who served her. Miss Shen San's words caused discussions among others.

The Lu family members' faces were even more excited.

"Miss Shen San, you are still young, don't be fooled by her. She must have known from somewhere that Zhaolan had a birthmark and imitated it on purpose to deceive people." Lin clutched her handkerchief tightly with an unfriendly look on her face.

Miss Shen San pulled Zhaolan's sleeves open, rubbed the leaf-shaped birthmark and said, "It is indeed the birthmark I have seen, and it is not fake. Why does Lin repeatedly deny Sister Zhaolan's identity? Is it true as she said that you despise her background and now want to kill her to silence her!" "Miss Shen San, you were just deceived by this crazy woman. Don't make such nonsense in the Lu family."

The fourth daughter of the Lu family whispered, "Sister-in-law and the Shen family have always had a good relationship. Your one-sided statement may not be credible."

Su Qingwan watched as the third lady spoke up for her and felt extremely grateful, but she knew that the Lu family would not acknowledge her so easily. Su Qingwan also felt that the time was right and she quietly winked at Chen Lanzhu in the crowd.

After Xie Zhaolan's death, Su Qingwan met Chen Lanzhu by chance. Chen Lanzhu knew everything she was planning today and came specially to help her.

"Mrs. Shen and her daughter are good friends with Mrs. Xie. You don't believe it, but Xie Zhaolan and I have always been at odds. My words can't be false, right?" Chen Lanzhu is the second daughter of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. "Last year at the archery banquet, the fourth young lady of your mansion was very competitive and insisted on competing with me. Mrs. Xie tried to persuade her, but was injured by the fourth young lady's arrow and has a scar on her forearm. This can't be false, right?"

Miss Shen San hurriedly pulled open Zhaolan's sleeves. There was indeed a pink scar next to the birthmark. She said excitedly, "Yes, there is a scar. She is Sister Zhaolan!"

The guests' voices gradually grew louder and they whispered to each other. The deafening sounds of joy outside the door formed a sharp contrast with the chaos and solemnity in the wedding hall.

Su Qingwan sneered at the Lu family members who were in disarray, and gave them the final blow, "Since father, mother, and husband don't believe that I am Zhao Lan, then let's report it to the authorities and let the Dali Temple investigate thoroughly."

The bigger the incident got, the more the Lu family would be involved and the worse their reputation would be. She didn't believe that Lu Shaoqing would ruin the future of the entire Lu family.

Lu Feng was cold all over, his face looked even paler against the backdrop of his wedding dress. Lin held the handkerchief tightly. Madam Lu said softly, "She... seems to be Zhao Lan. Brother Feng, when the bad news about Zhao Lan came, were you too grief-stricken to identify the body carefully and mistook it for Zhao Lan?"

Lu Feng seemed to wake up suddenly after hearing these words. His eyes instantly turned red. His attitude suddenly changed. He held Su Qingwan's hand affectionately and said, "Zhao Lan, you are really Zhao Lan!"

"Husband..." Su Qingwan suppressed her nausea, hugged Lu Feng, and cried in grievance.

Lin's attitude also changed. She supported Su Qingwan distressedly and said, "It's all because of mother's confusion. She thought someone was pretending to be Zhaolan to defraud you. I'm sorry for wronging you. Please don't blame mother."

"Zhao Lan understands, don't blame mother."

Lin asked hurriedly, "That year you were met with thieves and the carriage fell off a cliff. We found your body at the bottom of the cliff. Her face was damaged and she was wearing your clothes. We all thought you were murdered. Where did you go this year? Why didn't you come back earlier?"

"Back then, I took Qiuxiang up the mountain to pray for blessings. When we were coming down the mountain, we met villains who threatened to kill me. After falling off the cliff, Qiuxiang unfortunately died. I hit a rock and fainted. When I woke up, the villains were searching under the cliff. I heard them say that they wanted to see the person alive or the body dead, so I changed my clothes and put them on Qiuxiang. I escaped from the cliff and wanted to go home. I fainted on the way and was rescued by a benefactor. After waking up, I lost my memory and have been staying at the benefactor's house. The day before yesterday, I accidentally hit my head and regained my memory. Then I knew my identity and immediately found it back."

Su Qingwan already had her own explanation. Her eyes swept over Li Xueying who was standing in the hall. The scene of Li Xueying killing people and desecrating corpses emerged in her mind, and she hated her to the extreme.

Li Xueying, let’s see how long you can endure!
