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

Chapter 335 Barrier
The atmosphere in the Prince's Mansion was somber.

When Madam Ding miscarried, the Lady of Ningyuan Marquis ordered that the news not be spread, but the news still leaked out. The servants in the mansion all knew that something had happened in the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. It was extremely unlucky for such a thing to happen on the day of Chen Lanzhu's wedding. Su Qingwan was also in a bad mood, feeling guilty towards her aunt and Chen Lanzhu. She hated the person who had played tricks behind the scenes. If Madam Ding was just weak and couldn't keep the child, it would be fine if it was just an accident. But it was not an accident.

The investigation was like finding a needle in a haystack. The Marquis's daughter's wedding was a grand affair with many relatives and friends. Ding had met many people, and no one expected such a thing to happen. The people involved were a mixed bag, and they were all from high-ranking families. Even the Prefect of the Capital did not dare to investigate freely.

After Lu Jing's forceful suppression, no one dared to discuss it openly, and the matter would eventually be attributed to the Lu family's internal affairs. Su Qingwan was furious; this was the first time she had suffered in silence.

If she really did it, she would definitely admit it and take responsibility. But unfortunately, she didn't do it. She hates Lu Feng and would only kill him, not harm the child. Ding Shi is innocent too; she's not that heartless.

However, Li Xueying and the Lady of Anping both died because of her. Although she had no blood on her hands, others firmly believed that it was related to her. Su Qingwan was furious. Lu Jing sent people to investigate, and she also asked Qingyun to investigate. Qingyun was quite experienced in investigating such matters and was meticulous.

However, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had already investigated and found no clues. Qingyun's investigation also yielded nothing. Qingyun said, "Miss, the table at Ding's is all members of the Lu family and her relatives. We've questioned almost everyone who had contact with her, and there's no one suspicious. Because the Lady of Anping just passed away, none of the Li family members came to the Ningyuan Marquis's banquet. Moreover, the Marquis's residence has a close relationship with you, and some people who are close to the Li family didn't come either. We can rule out that possibility."

Su Qingwan's expression turned solemn. "Besides the people from the Anping Marquis's mansion, who else would dare to plot against me?"

"Maybe it's the Ding family who offended someone, or maybe it's Lu Feng who offended someone!" Qingyun thought it was too far-fetched no matter what.

"This is too much of a coincidence; it's all aimed at me!" Su Qingwan frowned, extremely displeased. "The Embroidered Uniform Guard might not investigate thoroughly."

“Miss, I understand!” Qingyun said in a deep voice, “But, Miss… will the Prince care about what Lu Feng said? He locked himself in his study after returning today and didn’t say a word.”

Su Qingwan was also upset. She was completely helpless in this matter. She knew that Lu Feng was trying to sow discord, but she was powerless to do anything about it. Lu Feng had also hit Lu Jing's sore spot.

The brothers have always had a good relationship. Lu Jing understands her and knows she harbors resentment. Does he suspect that she harmed Ding's child? Does he mind that she harbors resentment? She hasn't returned to the Lu family with him yet; is he also in a difficult position?
"Has he had dinner?"

Qingyun shook her head. Su Qingwan sat quietly for a long time, then instructed the kitchen to prepare some dishes that Lu Jing liked. She also personally prepared some fruits. The weather was hot and dry, and no one was in a good mood when such a thing happened on such a joyous occasion. Su Qingwan was so irritable that she wanted to kill someone, and Lu Jing was even less in a good mood. Lu Shaoqing, Lin Shi, and Lu Feng would all scold him for forgetting his family for the sake of a beautiful woman.

She's a jinx, he's a scoundrel!
For the family, he was truly a scoundrel!
Su Qingwan felt a pang of heartache. She pushed open the study door and saw him sitting silently behind his desk. Her heartache reached its peak. The two looked at each other and remained silent.

Su Qingwan carried the food box over, placed it on the heated couch, opened the window, and lit the lamp. Lu Jing let out a sigh of relief, walked over, and suddenly hugged her from behind.

Su Qingwan felt a pang of sadness. She felt she needed to explain, "Lu Jing, I did not harm the Ding family's children."
