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

Chapter 322 Couple
Su Qingwan originally intended to play the victim and act weak in front of him, but her act didn't look convincing at all. Lu Jing knew her too well and wouldn't believe that she had been bullied by the Marquis of Anping.

"The Lady of Anping set fire to the estate, trying to kill me. She has been arrested by the Prefect of the Capital. You've returned just in time to watch this show!" Su Qingwan's smile was particularly serene amidst the firelight and bloodshed.

Lu Jing was furious but also felt a pang of heartache. Xie Zhaolan's matter was a thorn in her side. How could he naively believe that she could truly let go of her hatred and find peace in the world?

Xiao Wu is known for his vindictive nature, so how could he tolerate the madam of Anping causing trouble? He doesn't care at all who was behind it tonight.

"If you want to do something like this again, wait until I get back. Why get your hands dirty?"

Su Qingwan was slightly taken aback, her heart softened, and her gaze towards Lu Jing seemed to ripple with tears. "Okay!"

Lu Jing stepped forward and embraced her. The newlyweds had been forced to separate for several days, and he really missed Su Qingwan, but he couldn't express his longing. He knew that Su Qingwan might not miss him.

But he became someone who, no matter where he went, always worried about her.

The estate was burned down, but Lu Jing still had an estate nearby. Lu Jing still took Su Qingwan back to the Prince's Mansion. Su Qingwan was extremely quiet along the way, and for some reason, she felt a little guilty and did not want to talk to him about the matter of the Marquis of Anping.

Lu Jing seemed tired and kept his eyes closed, not speaking to her. He had a cold expression when he closed his eyes, and the atmosphere inside the carriage was very heavy.

Li Yue and Qing Yun, who were outside the carriage, both felt strange. The prince and the young lady should be enjoying their honeymoon after a short separation, so why was there no sound at all? Neither of them spoke.

Could it be that the prince is angry?
Qingyun glanced at Liyue, who shrugged. She rarely interfered in Lu Jing and Su Qingwan's affairs. She felt that the prince and princess were very rational people and did not need others to interfere, whether in political or private matters.

Su Qingwan wondered if Lu Jing was really angry because he was so cold. However, lying in bed at night, almost exhausted from his antics, she didn't have the energy to think about it anymore.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. The maids on night watch breathed a sigh of relief after the prince and princess called for water several times during the night. They had thought the prince and princess would quarrel, but they were still so affectionate, so they no longer had to worry.

When Su Qingwan woke up, Lu Jing had already gone to court. She was very well-informed, and news of the Marquis of Anping's wife's assassination attempt on the Regent's wife had spread throughout the court and the country. After returning to the capital, Lu Jing launched an attack on the Marquis of Anping's residence. The Marquis of Anping's wife was already imprisoned in the capital's prison, and the officials of the Marquis of Anping's faction dared not plead for her, trembling with fear under Lu Jing's wrath.

After all, she was caught red-handed, with irrefutable evidence. Who would dare to defend her? Lu Jing returned to the capital only to find that his princess had almost been burned to death at the estate. He was furious and no one dared to cross him.

Anping Earl's younger brother only said one sentence: his elder brother and nephew were already on their way back to the capital. If there were any charges against them, they would be dealt with after they returned to the capital.

Lu Jing sneered, "I never treat human life lightly. The evidence is conclusive that the Marquis of Anping sent someone to assassinate my princess. Naturally, I will wait for the Marquis of Anping to return to the capital and ask him properly who instigated this."

“Your Highness is exaggerating. Marquis Anping and his sons have been guarding the border in Jiangnan all along. This matter should have nothing to do with him!” The Princess spoke up for Marquis Anping.

“Husband and wife are one, sharing joys and sorrows. I have never heard of a husband who can stand aside when his wife makes a mistake.”

Everyone was speechless. The Anping Earl's lineage was filled with unease. Judging from Lu Jing's words, he intended to punish them all, not even sparing Anping Earl and his sons. Would the entire Li family be implicated?

Li Erlang couldn't help but curse the stupid woman in his heart for doing something so contrary to the family's interests. If it really implicated the Li family, she would be the sinner of the Li family for all time, and the Li family's hundreds of years of hard work would be destroyed in an instant. Offending Lu Jing, and with the emperor not yet in power, what future could the Li family have?
Su Qingwan knew that Lu Jing had made trouble in the court. She smiled and thought to herself, "As expected of husband and wife, we are of one mind. Even without being told, Lu Jing knows what she wants to do."

She may not really want the Li family to be destroyed, but she wants to witness the pain of her enemy being betrayed and abandoned by everyone.

Lu Jing never asked her what she wanted to do, but he subtly put pressure on her, just as he had promised back in Huainan: though power and influence were important, she was also very important!

Su Qingwan was in a good mood and forgave Lu Jing's ravenous antics. She even specially instructed the kitchen to prepare his favorite dishes. When Lu Jing returned and saw a table full of his favorite dishes, a smile appeared on his face.

Su Qingwan is a very meticulous person. Her likes and dislikes are not very obvious, but she never mistreats herself when it comes to food. Her preferences are very clear, and the chefs in the kitchen are specially recruited for her. Lu Jing is not a picky eater, but he also has his own dietary preferences, which are actually different from Su Qingwan's. Su Qingwan noticed this carefully.

Perhaps because he grew up in the south, Lu Jing's taste is more Jiangnan-style, and he likes light or sweet food, which is in stark contrast to Su Qingwan's spicy food.

During his business trip, Su Qingwan specially found a chef who could cook Jiangnan cuisine to cook exclusively for Lu Jing.

She was meticulous in every aspect of food, clothing, and daily necessities, and her personality was so adept that no matter who she married, she would be a leader in managing the household affairs, which Lu Jing greatly appreciated.

"Is this considered a reward?" Lu Jing asked jokingly.

"If you consider this a reward, then consider it a reward!" Su Qingwan said with a light laugh. "Actually, I'm just using this as an opportunity to offer my own reward. You can try out the new chef's cooking skills, and if you like them, you can stay."

If you don't like it, you can always change it!
Lu Jing tried several dishes. Su Qingwan was the kind of person who always did things to the extreme and had to be the best. The chef she invited was the same. The dishes were refreshing and delicious. The sweet and sour fish was sweet and sour and very authentic. Lu Jing liked it very much.

"Xiao Wu, thank you!" Lu Jing felt a warmth in his heart. He had never put much effort into food. When he was in the army, a sesame seed cake could last him for four days. Zhang's cooking was terrible, but he was afraid that his mother would be sad. No matter how bad it was, he would still eat it. Zhang knew that her cooking skills were not very good, but she still tried her best to cook for him. It was really a kind gesture.

Su Qingwan changed cooks too. After getting married, he never had to worry about her food, clothing, housing and transportation. When Zhou Jingming went to the capital with him, he jokingly said that his life had become more meticulous after getting married.

Marrying a wife makes all the difference; he knows Su Qingwan puts her heart into it.

"We're husband and wife, saying thank you would be too formal!" Su Qingwan said with a gentle smile. "If anyone should say thank you, it should be me!"

She was grateful that although they had never grown up together, they had a tacit understanding and a deep connection. She was grateful that he held her hand firmly and persistently. Now she really believed it.

If Lu Jing can hold her hand for the rest of his life, she will have a warm and comfortable second half of her life.
