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

Chapter 324 Irony
"My lord, are you blaming me?" Lady Anping cried out in anguish. "I am just a mother who wants to avenge her daughter. I am not reconciled to the thought of Xueying's tragic death. Why does Xie Zhaolan live so well, becoming a princess overnight, with Lu Jing rising to power and protecting her? He was the one who killed my Xueying. They all deserve to die."

The two young masters of the Li family were terrified and dared not speak. The Lady of Anping cried bitterly, "Xueying died unjustly, and you all told me not to hold it against her, but how can I not hold it against her? She was my own flesh and blood."

Anping Bo gently shook his head, "Aren't Jing'er and Xin'er flesh and blood of your own flesh? You only care about the dead Xueying, what about them? What about their wives and children? Don't you care? What about the rise and fall of the Li family? Don't you care either? The three of us, father and sons, have all been stripped of our military power, and it will be even more difficult for us to return to the army together in the future. Lu Jing has long wanted to strip me of my military power, and you, on the contrary, personally delivered yourself to his door, an undeserved disaster!"

The second son said, "Father, Mother already knows she was wrong. Please stop scolding her. The most important thing right now is to get Mother out of here. The prison is cold and dark; Mother can't stay here any longer."

Anping Bo knew that trying to save people was a pipe dream. Once Lu Jing had imprisoned them, it wouldn't be so easy to release them. The fire that burned down the estate had resulted in six deaths, six lives lost, and a public trial. He couldn't escape the charges.

“I didn’t want to implicate the Li family either. That day, when I led people to kill Su Qingwan, I originally intended to die with her, but she tricked me. I was outmatched and had to live on, just to see Jing’er and Xin’er one last time.”

"Mother, don't talk nonsense! We will definitely find a way to get you out of here! Father, please say something!" The second young master of the Li family was frantic. The more silent the Earl of Anping was, the more terrified he became. He couldn't help but look at the eldest young master of the Li family, "Brother, please say something too!"

The eldest son of the Li family remained silent throughout, kneeling on one knee the entire time, never rising, his expression somber.

The second son of the Li family panicked, looking nervously at his father and elder brother. A terrible thought flashed through his mind, and a chill ran down his spine. His voice trembled slightly, "Father, elder brother, please say something!"

The Earl of Anping and his eldest son fell into a long silence. Tears streamed down the eldest son's face, but he dared not look up at the Earl of Anping's wife.

He kowtowed heavily, "Mother, your son is unfilial!"

Lady Anping looked at her eldest son, whom she had carried for ten months, raised for many years, and was proud of, and was overcome with grief. This was her own son, and now he was kowtowing and begging her to die so as not to implicate him.

Hahahaha, how hilarious, how ironic!

She looked up at the Earl of Anping, who couldn't bear to look into her eyes and looked away. The Earl of Anping's wife closed her eyes in anguish, tears streaming down her face.

This was her husband of several decades, with whom she shared a loving father. She bore him children, raised three children, and helped raise several grandchildren. The Li family prospered, and she deserves much credit for that.

She clung to a sliver of hope that once the Earl of Anping and his sons returned to the capital, Lu Jing and Su Qingwan would at least show some restraint and consideration.

Lu Jing couldn't control everything in Dayuan, and the Princess wouldn't allow them to be so presumptuous. The Li family had some influence, so she might escape this predicament, only to be humiliated. At worst, she could simply avoid other people's banquets and palace banquets in the future, and live a low-key life.

Unexpectedly, it was her husband and son who took her life.
