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

Chapter 330 Sisters-in-law
"Whether I am Xie Zhaolan or not is none of your business," Su Qingwan said indifferently, not understanding why Ding Shi was testing her. They had always kept to themselves, and given the nasty rumors circulating, Lin Shi must have mentioned her identity to her. "What are you trying to say?"

Ding smiled bitterly and said, "I regret marrying my husband, but regret is useless. Life has to go on. The affair between the brothers and you has spread throughout the capital. My former close friends are all curious about you. Actually, I don't care or care. I just want to live a quiet life. But my husband drinks every day and has no ambition. When I come home, my father and mother ask me why the prince doesn't give my husband a position and why he idles at home every day. They also ask why the prince doesn't help the Ding family to make a profit. I don't know how to answer them."

Su Qingwan listened quietly, her eyes filled with pity. She thought of her sister from the past and wondered if her sister knew that Lu Feng had changed his mind and had murderous intentions towards her. If her sister had realized his change of heart, she would have a more difficult time than Ding Shi.

Ding said, “Now that I am pregnant and the Princess has found happiness, I sincerely hope that the Lu family can live in harmony and peace, and prosper without any disputes. Therefore, I hope that the Princess can put in a good word for us in front of the Prince and find a leisurely position for my husband, so that he will not be idle and lose his spirit.”

Su Qingwan found Ding's words laughable, but she couldn't laugh. "If I were Xie Zhaolan, you would know very well how Lin cursed me and how Lu Feng slandered me. I almost died at his hands and lost my life. Now I have been given a second chance at life. My not seeking revenge is the greatest mercy I can show Lu Feng. You want me to help him rise to the top and resolve our grudges? That's wishful thinking."

Ding's face paled slightly. She hadn't known Su Qingwan well. Lin had described her as cunning, ruthless, and cold-hearted, while Lu Feng had called her ungrateful and fickle. Yet, Lu's younger sisters spoke highly of Xie Zhaolan. Zhang also said Xie Zhaolan was steady and gentle, unlike what Lin and Lu Feng had described. She tried to mediate, hoping for harmony and peace within the Lu family.

"You think you can play peacemaker? You're overestimating yourself." Su Qingwan's expression turned cold. "How you and Lu Feng live your lives is none of my business. Whether you regret marrying Lu Feng is also none of my concern. I don't know why Lu Jing didn't give Lu Feng a cushy job. You should ask Lu Jing for help, not me. No, this isn't really your place to decide. His parents aren't even worried, so why are you?"

Ding bit her lip, somewhat flustered. "After I became pregnant, the atmosphere at home became too oppressive, so I wanted to ask the Princess Consort, since we are both women, and I thought that we might be closer and able to talk to each other after marriage."

"You're overthinking it. I don't get involved in Lu Feng's affairs. The more you talk about it to me, the more disgusted I will become. His expulsion from officialdom and his current idleness, alcoholism, and absurd behavior are not my fault. You've come to the wrong person."

Ding's face paled, her eyes reddening slightly. "Your Highness, for the sake of the child, can't you really be lenient and let us go? You... you should have taken your revenge, and you have. Lu Jing and Lu Feng are brothers after all. Continuing to be so cold is not a solution. They are family. They were once close brothers and sisters, with deep blood ties. Only with family harmony can everything prosper."

"Enough!" Su Qingwan's face turned completely cold. "You should leave!"
