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

Chapter 348 Divorce 2
The people gathered at the gate of the Prince's Mansion were almost all ordinary people. The guards of the Prince's Mansion could not drive them away at will, nor could they lay a hand on them, lest they hurt someone.

As soon as Su Qingwan came out, the crowd attacked her, throwing rotten vegetable leaves and small stones at her. Qingyun rushed in front of her instantly to block them. The stones and rotten vegetable leaves hit her. Su Qingwan saw a stone about to hit Qingyun's head and reached out to block it. The back of her hand turned red instantly.

Qingyun was heartbroken. Li Yue waved her hand and led the guards to drive the people away. The people were indignant and cursed Su Qingwan for marrying two husbands, ruining the Regent's reputation, causing Lu Feng's tragic death, calling her a femme fatale and a murderer. Some even used vulgar language, as if Su Qingwan was the cause of their family's promiscuity.

Qingyun was furious. Hundreds of people had gathered at the entrance, all demanding justice for Lu Feng. Qingyun was so angry that her daughter had clearly suffered all the injustice, yet everyone was shouting to beat her up.

Li Yue couldn't make a move. Lu Jing was handling Lu Feng's funeral today, sending him to the ancestral graves, which weren't in the city, and the people came to cause trouble. Su Qingwan didn't believe that no one had instructed him to do so.

Lu Jing held a high position, and she was the Princess of Huainan. Their status destined them to have many political enemies. People were watching them closely, hoping to find fault with them. Although there were many rumors in the past, they did not have a great impact because of the suppression by the Embroidered Uniform Guard. Moreover, this was a family matter of the Lu family. It is difficult for an honest official to judge family disputes, so the common people would not say much. But now it is different. Lu Feng is dead. Those rumors have snowballed. The collective emotions have been amplified and expanded rapidly, all heading towards Lu Jing and Su Qingwan.

The common people didn't care about the war between Huainan and Xilin, or whether Su Qingwan and Lu Jing would form a marriage alliance to stabilize the situation. They only knew that Su Qingwan was promiscuous, which caused the Lu brothers to turn against each other and Lu Feng to die tragically.

Zhang said, “Xiao Wu, you see, the whole city is resisting. This matter has caused a great uproar and is challenging the moral and social norms. If you are unreasonable, Ziyu’s career will be over, and he will definitely be criticized by the censors.”

Qingyun wanted to interrupt Zhang Shi, but considering that Su Qingwan respected Zhang Shi very much, she was afraid that her tone would be too harsh and lose her temper, so she had no choice but to hold back.

Su Qingwan looked at those unfamiliar faces. She had clearly done nothing to wrong them, yet these people wanted to come and attack her. It was truly ridiculous.

Zhang is right. If she and Lu Jing do not divorce, this matter will be difficult to resolve. Lu Jing will be criticized by the censors, which will affect his position in the court, even though he was appointed regent by the late emperor.

If they divorce, what will happen to the situation in Huainan? She still needs Lu Jing's help to stabilize Huainan. If they divorce, it will have far-reaching consequences. What will happen to Nianqing?
Political marriages are so cruel, every step is fraught with danger, and every aspect is driven by self-interest. If the divorce is not Lu Jing's intention, and she insists on it, it will definitely affect the situation in Huainan. Although there is the Princess, Lu Jing's mediation is still indispensable.

Regardless of whether her feelings for Lu Jing were genuine or feigned, she wouldn't easily consider divorce. However, given the current situation, she was caught in a dilemma. What should she do? Su Qingwan said, "Mother, give me the divorce papers. You can announce to the public that Lu Jing and I have divorced."

She turned and walked back. Qingyun glared at the rioting crowd before following Su Qingwan back. Zhang was somewhat surprised, "You really agree to a divorce?"

"As long as Lu Jing nods, I'll sign this divorce agreement!" Su Qingwan said calmly. Giving her this divorce agreement was essentially a divorce; Zhang's writing was equivalent to Lu Jing having signed it.

Zhang looked troubled, and Su Qingwan said, "Mother, it wasn't easy for him to get to where he is today. He won't easily give up his status as regent. He will know what to choose."

The crowd causing trouble at the gate was making things difficult for her pregnancy, so Qingyun suggested they stay at the estate for some peace and quiet. Su Qingwan thought about it briefly and agreed that the manor was too noisy. Lu Jing would be busy with the funeral arrangements for a while, so they could meet at the estate then. Qingyun enthusiastically described how beautiful the autumn scenery at the estate was, trying to persuade Su Qingwan to go and relax, and Su Qingwan agreed.

Qingyun couldn't even wait until the next day. She immediately packed her things and left through the back door. She was always efficient. She directed the servants to move things, and Su Qingwan called Li Yue in to give her instructions.

After Qingyun finished tidying up, she saw Li Yue come out of the study with a serious expression. Su Qingwan had also finished writing a letter and ordered someone to send it to Lu Jing. Qingyun asked, "What's wrong with Li Yue? She looks terrible."

"Nothing's wrong. Have you packed your things?"

“It’s all packed up, young lady. These people are just causing trouble for no reason. We can stay at the estate for a while longer. The prince certainly won’t divorce you.”

"I'm afraid you won't be staying for long." Su Qingwan chuckled and instructed Qingyun, "Take your sword with you."

"it is good!"
