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

Chapter 305 Investigation
Lu Jing had nothing to talk about with the younger members of the Chen family. He was a man of great prestige, and the younger members of the Chen family were not very willing to speak to him. Lu Jing tried his best to be friendly, but it didn't have much effect. The younger members felt like they were sitting on pins and needles, but they couldn't leave Lu Jing hanging. In the end, they went to shoot arrows together.

Most sons-in-law returning to their parents' home feel awkward, but things get much better once they get moving. In fact, Lu Jing isn't much older than them; they're practically the same age. It's just that Lu Jing has so much more experience and is more mature than them; the topics they discuss and the things they're interested in are all different.

Lu Jing also intended to cultivate good relations with them. These were Su Qingwan's maternal relatives; the Marquis's wife treated Su Qingwan like her own daughter, and the Marquis's mansion was her support in the capital. If someone else had married Su Qingwan, they might not have wanted to support the Marquis's mansion, fearing that Su Qingwan's power would grow too strong and she would be difficult to control. However, Lu Jing never had such thoughts. On the contrary, he hoped that Su Qingwan could feel a sense of belonging in the capital. Huainan was her heartache, and her family was her weakness. He hoped that Su Qingwan would feel more attached to and rely on them more in the capital.

The Hou family has many talented people in this generation, and they can be put to his use.

After Lu Jing chatted with the Lady of the Marquis, the people of the Marquis's residence prepared lunch. Since everyone was a family, men and women did not sit separately. The Lady of the Marquis was very attentive and caring towards Lu Jing, and Lu Jing answered her questions in a very dignified manner. In short, the host and guests enjoyed themselves.

Princess Huainan chose the Marquis's residence for her return home, which was also a statement, indicating that the Marquis's residence and Huainan were relatives on the same boat. Marquis Ningyuan had never made such a clear statement in all these years. This was mainly because the Huainan Prince's residence had been executed, and the late emperor was deeply wary of it. The Marquis's residence could only protect itself. Now that the Prince's residence had an heir, the Marquis's residence had long since stood up to show its identity.

Su Qingwan knew that on the battlefields of Huainan and Xilin, Marquis Ningyuan was fully supporting Nianqing to gain a foothold in the army, and also urgently hoped that the Prince of Huainan could quickly win over the hearts of the people in the army.

After lunch, the Lady Hou prepared many gifts for them to take back, showing great hospitality. Lu Jing felt the Lady Hou's warmth and agreed to bring Su Qingwan to visit often. He could tell that everyone in the Hou family treated Su Qingwan as family. He was afraid that he might treat Su Qingwan badly. Lu Jing thought to himself that he was even more afraid that the Lady Hou would be dissatisfied with him.

Lu Jing had ten days off for his wedding, which was supposed to be a day off, but he was actually very busy. Li An, Zhou Jingming, and several other confidants often came to the Prince's Mansion to talk to him. The situation was turbulent and the power struggles were fierce, so Lu Jing rarely had any free time and spent all his time with Su Qingwan.

On the eighth day after their marriage, a major incident occurred in the outskirts of the capital: a granary was robbed. The matter was originally to be investigated by the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but it was far-reaching and involved the general stationed in the capital region. Li An would not be able to resolve it on his own, so only Lu Jing could handle it!
This was really upsetting for him. Lu Jing was unhappy, and Su Qingwan could clearly sense his emotions. She smiled and comforted him, saying, "The capital's garrison isn't far. You can go back and forth in a day by fast horse. Don't be angry!"

"General Liu is a complete waste. He can't even handle this simple matter. The granary was robbed. It's unheard of!" This is the granary of the entire capital. Who would dare to lay a hand on the granary? We don't know the specifics of the situation. Li An set off yesterday. He needs to arrange some trivial matters in the court before he can leave.

Su Qingwan hooked her arm around his hand, "How about... I go with you?"

Since she was idle in the capital anyway, it would be good for her to go investigate the case with Lu Jing.

Lu Jing's eyes lit up; he was actually tempted. "You want to come with me?"

"May I?"
