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

Chapter 355 Coax her
The peonies in the courtyard are lush and green. Even though they are past their blooming season, they are still well cared for. This garden full of roses was planted for her after knowing that she likes peonies.

Even when it's not the flowering season, you can still feel this love.

Amidst the deafening sounds of gongs and drums and the crackling of firecrackers in the East Garden, she gazed at the peony bushes in the courtyard. Surprisingly, the anger she felt during her confrontation with Lu Feng had vanished, replaced by an extreme calm. She entered the study, the place where Lu Jing spent the most time at home. Aside from resting, he was almost always in the study. The bookshelves were filled with books he had read since childhood. He had a wide range of interests, including miscellaneous notes, storybooks, picture books, as well as books on Buddhism and Taoism.

Su Qingwan smiled gently. The Lu family was known for its literary tradition and excellent family values. Although she disliked Lu Feng and Lin Shi and thought Lu Feng was selfish, the other members of the Lu family were well-mannered. Even if the girls were a bit spoiled, they were kind at heart. The second son born to Aunt Zhou was also considered to be of stable character. Although he was an illegitimate son, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and he had a good relationship with Lu Feng and Lu Jing. The brothers had never distinguished between legitimate and illegitimate children since childhood.

Lu Jing was also a well-read person, and even his paintings were very good. When Su Qingwan saw Lu Jing's paintings, apart from landscapes, they were all portraits, and all the portraits he painted were of her.

There are more than a dozen paintings, all of them depicting her in the Southwest or after her marriage. She even continued to paint her after marriage, and her brushstrokes became more and more delicate and gentle, pouring out a lot of emotions. Her longing almost overflowed from the paintings. She could imagine Lu Jing sitting at his desk, painting by lamplight, his eyes full of tenderness. Her heart softened completely. Every painting was left in the study. She had never seen them, yet they were filled with longing. There was even a painting of her in her wedding dress.

He's a regent who's incredibly busy with state affairs; how could he possibly have so much time to paint?

She's everywhere, even when I'm just taking a break from my busy schedule.

Su Qingwan's paintings are actually not that good. She didn't like painting much when she was young in the Prince of Huainan's mansion. Later, she neglected to practice and never spent time on it. Her paintings are not very good, but she can appreciate them. If Lu Jing becomes poor and destitute in the future, he can sell his paintings to make a living.

“Xiao Wu…” Lu Jing stood at the door of the study, looking at her tenderly.

His study was a forbidden area, and no one else was allowed to enter. Even his own sister and mother had to wait for permission to enter. However, the people guarding the door were sensible and knew the weight the princess held in his heart. No one dared to stop her, and they were not even afraid that there were military reports from Huainan in the study. She could read the reports on the desk as she pleased.

Su Qingwan's anger had subsided considerably. Lu Jing was the kind of person who would strike while the iron was hot. She didn't want to appear to have forgiven him so quickly, but he could tell exactly what was going on, and he gently put his arm around her.

"Don't do it again, Xiao Wu, don't be angry, okay?" He wrapped his arms around her waist and pressed them against her lower abdomen. "Our daughter certainly wouldn't want us to fight either."

"How do you know it's a daughter?" Su Qingwan snorted coldly, a little annoyed, and slapped his hand away. Lu Jing didn't care about her coldness at all and insisted on clinging to her. He always liked to hug Su Qingwan like this.

"Whether it's a daughter or a son, I love them both." Lu Jing said sweetly, "Xiao Wu and my child will definitely be the most well-behaved and beautiful children."

Su Qingwan was amused. Lu Jing kissed her, and she couldn't be coy. "Aren't you entertaining guests? What are you doing here?"

"The elders are busy with social engagements, so it's not my turn. Of course, making you happy is the most important thing!" Lu Jing liked to coax Su Qingwan like this in private, and he wasn't afraid of losing face in front of her. He felt very happy as long as he could make Su Qingwan smile.
