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

Chapter 326 Enmity
The next morning, Su Qingwan received news that the Lady of Anping had committed suicide in prison. This was something she had expected. For some reason, she felt a tightness in her chest and a sense of unease. Revenge should have been a satisfying thing, so why did she feel so uncomfortable? Was she too cruel?
The Earl of Anping and his two sons visited his wife in prison. She understood that the Earl of Anping and his two sons must have planned to sacrifice her to save the family. In the rise and fall of the entire family, personal honor and disgrace were insignificant. Although the Earl of Anping was willing to die, she must have been heartbroken before she died.

Anyone who encounters such a cold and cruel husband and son would die with their eyes wide open in disbelief.

Her mood remained low for only half an hour. After Lu Jing went to court, she went to the Xie family's trading company. As her carriage passed through North-South Street, she saw the Lady of Anping and her two sons bringing back the Lady of Anping's body. Su Qingwan sat in the carriage, which bore the insignia of the Regent's Palace. Everyone recognized it, and whenever they encountered a carriage from the Prince's Palace on the street, unless it belonged to the Eldest Princess, they would all give way.

However, in Dayuan, there is an unwritten rule that the dead are respected and the living must give way to the dead. Moreover, if one encounters a funeral procession while going out, the coffin is considered an ominous sign. Qingyun felt somewhat resentful.

She guessed that the Earl of Anping would go to collect the body of the Earl of Anping's wife, and deliberately chose this road. It was impossible for the Prefect of the Capital to return to the Li family via this road. They even took a detour to deliberately block her young lady. Qingyun was disgusted and wanted to curse as soon as she lifted the curtain.

Su Qingwan said calmly, "No need, make way!"

Respect for the dead is paramount. Whether Anping Bo was unintentional or deliberately trying to annoy her, she didn't care. She had already achieved the ending she wanted, and there was no need for such a petty argument. She was newly married and it was inappropriate for her to be involved in a funeral.

Following the principle of compromise by the victor, she didn't need to cause a scene with the Li family in the street; otherwise, public opinion would be even more embarrassed.

Marquis Anping hoped that Su Qingwan would cause a scene. As long as she dared to block the Li family's coffin, the people of the capital would drown her in their scorn. His advisors also suggested that he use his wife's corpse to salvage his reputation. The more miserable the Li family was, the more sympathetic the people would be to them.

Only if the people sympathize with them can they reverse their reputation. The corpse of the Marquis of Anping must be put to good use. The Marquis of Anping did not expect that the rumored arrogant and domineering princess would actually give in. He had made two preparations, intending to force Su Qingwan to block the coffin in the street, and even to create conflict.

Su Qingwan has taken the initiative to concede, but that won't do. How should the plan proceed from here?

Just as he was about to give the order, the eldest son of the Li family said calmly, "Father, let's go home. Burying Mother is the most important thing. Let's discuss this matter in due course. The Princess Consort is not someone to be trifled with."

At such a young age, she was so composed and quick-witted, leaving the Li family with no leverage whatsoever. It's easy to imagine that every mistake her mother made against her was due to her guidance step by step.

After hearing about Su Qingwan's actions recently, the eldest son of the Li family dared not be careless, especially after Su Qingwan backed down, he abandoned his plans.

Upon hearing this, the eldest son of Anping Earl Xinzhong nodded. Although unwilling, he had no other choice.

The Li family and the Prince's Mansion have fallen out like this, and everyone in the capital knows about it. They know about the feud between Xie Zhaolan, Lu Feng, and Li Xueying, as well as the scandal between Xie Zhaolan and Lu Jing. They also know that the Lady of Anping sent people to kill the Princess to avenge her daughter, causing the deaths of innocent people. The Lady of Anping atones with her death, and that's considered the matter settled. The grudge is over, and if Su Qingwan continues to pester them, she will surely be insulted.

The people were all waiting to see the spectacle, especially when they saw the carriage of the Prince's Mansion and the coffin of the Earl of Anping pass each other. They all craned their necks in anticipation, but who knew that they would pass each other so calmly.

The wind lifted the sedan curtain, and the eldest son of the Li family saw Su Qingwan sitting inside. Their eyes briefly met, their hatred hidden behind calm masks.
