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

Chapter 352 Heli Shu

Lu Feng felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look Su Qingwan in the eye. Lu Feng's death was his doing, and it was after discussing it with Lu Feng. Even if it was a plan to lure the snake out of its hole, not only Su Qingwan, but he also felt something was wrong. There was a force behind the scenes constantly pushing the Lu family to fall apart and constantly sowing discord between him, Su Qingwan, and Lu Feng. After he told him that Xie Zhaolan was dead, Lu Feng's anger had subsided, and he told him about what happened a few days ago when he was instigated in the teahouse.

Lu Jing and Lu Feng had a very good brotherly relationship. Although they had some disagreements, blood was thicker than water. After realizing his mistake, Lu Feng didn't hold much resentment towards Lu Jing. He also knew how much provocation he had suffered in the past six months. Someone was taking advantage of the situation to try to turn the Lu brothers against each other. Lu Jing wanted to lure the snake out of its hole, so he made a plan with Lu Feng to fake Lu Feng's death.

To ensure authenticity, they only told Lu Shaoqing, not Lin and Ding, making the performance more realistic. The rumors circulating in the streets were spread by the Imperial Guards; otherwise, how could rumors spread so easily? Who knew that just as he finished setting up his stage, Su Qingwan took advantage of the divorce to act more directly, disrupting his plan.

Although the ending was good, the process was thrilling. He was extremely anxious on his way there, fearing that Su Qingwan might encounter some misfortune or suffer a miscarriage. He also regretted not telling Su Qingwan the truth. He had originally planned to tell Su Qingwan when the act was almost over, but she became pregnant, which disrupted his plans. He was afraid that Su Qingwan would suffer a miscarriage or harm her health if she found out, so he simply kept it a secret and told her after everything was resolved. He never expected that revealing the truth would be so inopportune.

Su Qingwan took a deep breath, suppressing her anger. She wanted to slap Lu Jing, but because of Young Master Li, she didn't say anything.

The journey back was unusually quiet; no one spoke. Lu Jing tried to explain several times, but Su Qingwan didn't even glance at him. Lu Jing knew she wouldn't get over her anger so easily.

Young Master Li agreed to let bygones be bygones and was willing to clarify the rumors. Lu Jing asked them to leave the capital for three years. After three years, he would arrange jobs for the three of them at his discretion. Young Master Li was unwilling to accept such harsh conditions. If he left the capital for three years and returned, everything would be different, and the Earl's Mansion might not have the same reputation as it does now.

But if he disagrees, and Lu Jing pursues the matter to the end, it will become even more difficult. Young Master Li is patient and can endure months of revenge, taking things slowly. He is a man who can withstand loneliness and keeps his word. As long as he agrees and doesn't go back on his word, Lu Jing wouldn't even bother threatening Li's entire family.

Young Master Li said he needed to investigate. If it was found out that Xie Zhaolan and Su Qingwan were indeed sisters, and that Li Xueying had killed Xie Zhaolan back then, he was willing to forgive and forget.

When will this cycle of revenge end? If he continues to seek revenge, even if he succeeds, the Lu family will have a next generation. As long as each generation produces a Lu Jing, the entire family can be slaughtered.

After much deliberation, Young Master Li agreed to Lu Jing's request. If the revenge continued, the Li family would soon be finished.

The two returned to the Prince's residence. Lu Jing wanted to follow Su Qingwan into the main courtyard, but Qingyun blocked the door, closed it, and handed him a divorce agreement. "Your Highness, this is a divorce agreement from Zhang Shi to our young lady. You are divorced. As a man and woman alone together, you should avoid suspicion. It is inappropriate for Your Highness to enter the young lady's courtyard again. Please leave!"

She threw the divorce papers into his arms and Qingyun closed the door.

Lu Jing, “…”
