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

Chapter 345 Harmony
Lu Jing chuckled. Su Qingwan took out the ointment she had prepared herself from the medicine box, pulled Lu Jing to sit on the bed, and applied the ointment to him. This ointment was better than the one prepared by the Imperial Hospital, and it could also relieve his pain and the itching during the healing process.

Even under the oil lamp, his face was still strikingly beautiful. After applying the medicine, Su Qingwan couldn't help but say, "If he were a son, he would definitely be as beautiful as you."

Lu Jing raised an eyebrow slightly. He knew he was good-looking; he'd known it since he joined the army. Back then, he hadn't grown tall enough to be considered androgynous, which always attracted the attention of many men. He deliberately tanned himself and ate well to avoid attracting unwanted attention. Later, as he grew taller and his features matured, he resembled his mother and was handsome. He didn't dare say it to those close to him, but Zhang Shi and his sister always praised his good looks. He knew it himself, especially after meeting Su Qingwan. Knowing that Su Qingwan liked beautiful women, he would meticulously groom himself every day.

Li Yue and Li An had secretly gossiped about him behind his back, saying that when he first went to the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he worked extremely hard, taking on all the dirty and tiring jobs, and never caring about his appearance while traveling to and from the capital. Ever since the princess came to the capital, he has been concerned about his appearance, and after getting married, he has become even more extravagant. He never wears many brightly colored clothes, except for court robes, which he is now wearing.

He was young and handsome, and he suited bright colors very well. Every time he wore a bright new outfit, Su Qingwan would stare at him, and he knew that Su Qingwan liked it.

"You prefer sons?"

Su Qingwan nodded, "I want a son to carry on the family line."

Lu Jing, “…”

He never expected it to be for this reason, but when he thought about the destruction of the Huainan Prince's Mansion and the fact that only Nianqing was left, he could understand Su Qingwan's obsession.

“I don’t want to have a daughter!” Su Qingwan applied the medicine, sat down beside him, and rested her head on his shoulder. “Daughters suffer too much. They have to learn rules and be bound by so many restrictions at home. Even if we give her freedom, she can’t ride a horse freely like a son. She’ll be trapped in the courtyard her whole life and it will be hard for her to go out. Even if she is brave and unrestrained, she will still be judged by the eyes of the world. She will get married and go to someone else’s home to serve her in-laws and husband. She will also have to go through the pain of childbirth. I can’t bear it.”

The moonlight, gentle and serene, casts a soft glow across the ground; such moonlight is tender and lingering.

Lu Jing smiled and said, "Our son has also worked very hard, bearing the heavy burden of the family since childhood. He is required to master the six arts of a gentleman, be proficient in interpersonal relationships, literature, and martial arts. Why don't you feel sorry for your son?"

"Oh..." Su Qingwan responded indifferently, touching her lower abdomen, "Don't listen to your father, you must be a boy."

Lu Jing chuckled and hugged her tightly, finding her incredibly adorable in that instant.

Su Qingwan didn't really want to ask about Lu Feng, but she couldn't avoid it. She and Lu Jing couldn't keep quiet about Lu Feng forever; who knew what the outside world would say about them now.

"How are Lu Feng's funeral arrangements going?"

Lu Jing's heart sank instantly. It was an extremely painful matter. "My brother's death is a huge blow to the entire family. Before Li Xueying's incident, he was the most promising member of the family. My uncle and the elders all placed their hopes on him. Even after I became the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, they still had high hopes for my brother. I never expected it to turn out like this. After I explained your and my sister-in-law's identities to him that day, I thought he could see things clearly. I never expected him to go down a dead end and drive himself to his death. My uncle and aunt blame everything on us and are forcing me to divorce you!"
