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

Chapter 347 Making trouble
Su Qingwan and Zhang Shi had always had a good relationship. Although Zhang Shi was careless, she genuinely loved Lu Jing. When others insulted or hurt Lu Jing, she would rush to argue with them. If she couldn't win the argument, she would hide and cry secretly. She was a very lovable mother. After her husband passed away, she had to be mindful of the eldest son's wishes when raising her children. She finally managed to raise them all to adulthood. Lu Jing became successful, becoming the regent, second only to the emperor. Her daughter's marriage would certainly be good, and her life was easier than Lin Shi's.

Madam Zhang was very kind and gentle towards Xie Zhaolan and Su Qingwan. She also liked the Lu family's daughters very much. After learning about Su Qingwan's identity, Madam Zhang felt mostly sorry for her. Madam Lin made things difficult for her many times, but she ignored it and even helped Su Qingwan get justice. If it weren't for the fear of gossip, she would have wanted to move into the Prince's Mansion and live with them.

However, if she also moved to the Prince's Mansion, it would be similar to a family splitting up, which would not be good for the Lu family. Zhang Shi has always lived in the West Garden and occasionally came to the Prince's Mansion for a short stay. Su Qingwan and her mother-in-law had a very good relationship.

However, Zhang couldn't withstand the pressure and asked for a divorce, which shows that the insults directed at her and Lu Jing from the outside world must have been overwhelming. Zhang's eyes were swollen from crying.

"Xiao Wu, I know you're innocent. You came to the Lu family to avenge Zhaolan, and I feel sorry for Zhaolan's wrongful death. But I feel even more sorry for Ziyu. Ziyu was well-behaved from a young age. To seek justice for his father, he abandoned his studies and joined the army on the border, enduring countless hardships. He was seriously wounded on the battlefield and forced to return to the capital to join the Embroidered Uniform Guard. After joining the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he climbed the ranks, bearing a bad reputation. My son is clearly a handsome and kind-hearted man, upright and steady, yet he is portrayed as a ruthless devil by others, feared and avoided by everyone. I know he climbed the ranks to seek justice for his father, and he succeeded. Among the young men of his age in the capital, everyone has a few close friends, but Ziyu is the only one with few friends." With few friends and no companions, I watched him gradually transform from a lively and clever boy into a cold and sharp knife, and my heart ached. I couldn't bear to hear anyone criticize him, nor could I bear to hear people gossiping behind his back, saying he was blinded by lust and forgot his brother, causing his death—those accusations were too heavy, they would crush him. Xiao Wu, please, just pity my heart as a mother and leave him. I know Ziyu loves you, cherishes you like his own flesh and blood; he won't write you a divorce agreement. He's a stubborn child, once he's made up his mind, he won't look back. I can only beg you, Xiao Wu… please, leave him, go back to Huainan. Everyone blames him for Qingfeng's death, but it wasn't his fault at all.”

Ziyu simply fell in love with her sister-in-law's younger sister; it wasn't a taboo matter. Why was everyone condemning her? She truly felt sorry for Ziyu and only wanted to clear her name as soon as possible.

"Mother, don't cry!" Su Qingwan gently wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, her eyes reddening. She understood Zhang's feelings as a mother. "A few days ago, I talked to him about divorce. The situation is under control. I love you very much, and I can feel that you love me like family. If it weren't for the heavy rumors and gossip, and your fear of crushing us, you wouldn't have asked me for a divorce. Don't cry. This... we can handle it."

"Are you willing to divorce?" Zhang asked, her voice tinged with surprise and pleading, begging Su Qingwan to consider her maternal heart and agree to a divorce.

"Does Lu Jing know about me?"

“He doesn’t know, he won’t agree, so I’ll write it for him.” She is Lu Jing’s mother, and she can write a divorce letter to Su Qingwan on his behalf.

Su Qingwan smiled bitterly. Yes, Ziyu wouldn't agree, so she had no choice but to act first and ask for permission later.

The rumors circulating in the capital are truly cruel, leaving people heartbroken and unrecognizable. Even someone as gentle as Zhang Shi couldn't bear it. Lu Feng's death was indeed a huge shock!
She was hesitating whether to agree when suddenly the steward rushed over, "Your Highness, something has happened! A group of people have gathered at the entrance of the Prince's Mansion and are causing trouble, insulting the Prince and the Princess."

Su Qingwan frowned slightly. "These people are so bold. What kind of place is this? Send someone to drive them away."
