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

Chapter 4 Letter of Divorce
"I have been married to you for three years and have never taken a concubine. I am devoted to you. You should know my feelings. Status is not important at all. Relationship is what matters." Lu Feng swore sincerely that between two evils, he would choose the lesser of two evils. Rather than making a joke on the wedding day, it would be better to resolve it as soon as possible. Although it would slightly damage his reputation, it was the best outcome.

The Xie family is a family of merchants, and no one in the family is an official, so no one will seek justice for her.

Zhaolan is in love with him and always listens to him. She will definitely agree. For Zhaolan, this is also the best ending.

"I don't want to!" Su Qingwan shook her head gently. "If you want to be the Earl's son-in-law, give me a divorce letter. After signing, you can get married immediately. I will leave the house, and from now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other."

Lu Feng was furious, and his true intentions were exposed. "Xie Zhaolan, how can you be so ungrateful! If you insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for not caring about the relationship between husband and wife."

"You are a scholar, but you want to demote your wife to a concubine. You are such a shameless thing. Your Lu family is going too far!" Su Qingwan wanted to slap Lu Feng in the face and deliberately raised her voice to accuse him.

The guests were in an uproar and talked a lot, saying that it was ridiculous to demote his wife to a concubine.

Chen Lanzhu and Su Qingwan sang the same tune, mocking, "If the eldest son of the Lu family wants to be the son-in-law of the Earl's Mansion, just write a letter of divorce to Zhaolan. She has been married to the Lu family for three years and has done nothing wrong to you. Why do you have to humiliate her like this? If this gets out, will everyone in the world think that all scholars are heartless and flatter the powerful and bully the weak?"

Lu Feng's face was burning, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. Scholars valued their reputation the most, and the guests were already talking about it, forcing him into a dilemma.

Seeing Lu Feng's hesitation, Li Xueying was so angry that her heart ached. "Lu Feng, you want her to be your concubine because of our old relationship. Have you asked me? With her lowly status, she is not worthy of sharing a husband with me. She is not even qualified to be my concubine. In this mansion, it's either me or her!"

Lu Shaoqing had long been fed up with this farce. Some of the guests were of too high status to be easily driven away. Now he had completely lost face, and this matter had to be resolved as soon as possible.

Mrs. Lu saw his angry eyes, and her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly had an idea, pulled Li Xueying over, and said in a low voice, "Xueying, be patient for a while, even if you are a co-wife, Zhaolan will never surpass you at home. She came back to life, and demoted your wife to a concubine in public. Feng'er was reported by the censors, and his future and reputation are all gone. Just bear with the grievance for the sake of the child in your belly."

Li Xueying was slightly startled, subconsciously holding her belly, and glared at Lin fiercely. She actually threatened her? If the news of her being pregnant before marriage spread, the reputation of the entire Anping Earl's Mansion would be ruined, and her sisters would be implicated. Her father and mother were fine, but the other uncles and aunts would probably hate her to death.

Li Xueying stared at Su Qingwan with hatred, approached her, and lowered her voice, "Xie Zhaolan died a long time ago. Who are you? What do you want? I can give you some money and you leave the Lu family immediately. Otherwise, I will make sure you die without a burial place."

Li Xueying is well-known in Beijing for being arrogant and overbearing. She will get what she wants by any means necessary.

Just like she fell in love with Lu Feng at first sight because of his looks, she wanted to take him away by force even though Lu Feng already had a wife.

Su Qingwan was confused when she saw that she was using money as bait. What did Lin say to her? Why did she force her to swallow this anger?
It seems that he doesn't know what leverage he can use against her. Su Qingwan doesn't want Li Xueying to compromise so easily. She wants to force Li Xueying to lose her composure. The crazier Li Xueying becomes, the more likely she will be exposed. It would be best if the fact that she has killed someone is exposed in public.

Su Qingwan smiled, a little sarcastic, and said word by word, "Miss Li, are other people's husbands so good? You are really... a cheapskate!"

Li Xueying was furious. She was brought up like a precious girl and had never suffered such humiliation.

"Xie Zhaolan died a long time ago. You crazy woman came out of nowhere, talking nonsense and having no idea of ​​your place. Come, beat her to death!" Li Xueying ordered the people she brought with her in a lost manner.

The servant beside Li Xueying was holding a rough horsewhip and hit Su Qingwan hard. Su Qingwan dodged sideways, grabbed the whip and pulled it hard. The servant lost her strength and the whip was taken away by Su Qingwan.

Lu Feng was stunned. How could his weak and helpless wife have such great strength? "You..." Li Xueying shouted, "What are you standing there for? Hold her down and kill her!"

Chen Lanzhu was furious, "Li Xueying, are you crazy? Do you want to take human life for granted?"

"What do you mean by worthless human life? This crazy woman pretended to be Xie Zhaolan to ruin my marriage. I beat her to death in anger. What have I done wrong? She is just a liar!" Li Xueying was fearless. "Even if she is Xie Zhaolan, the daughter of a lowly merchant, I will beat her to death. What can you do to me?"

The servants and maids around Li Xueying obeyed the order and rushed towards Su Qingwan.

Su Qingwan fought back with a whip in hand, screams rang out one after another, the maids and the old women were beaten to pieces, Su Qingwan whipped the table in the middle of the wedding hall fiercely. The red wedding cloth was torn, cups, plates, fruits and vegetables rolled to the ground, and the wedding hall, which was decorated festively and magnificently, was instantly in a mess.

The old women and maids were whipped and fled in all directions. Su Qingwan swung the whip lightly, sweeping across Li Xueying's phoenix crown. The golden phoenix crown fell to the ground. Li Xueying looked as if she was whipped in the face. She covered her face and screamed, her hair disheveled, and she looked in a miserable state.

Su Qingwan was filled with hatred. The hatred for her sister's murder was irreconcilable. She wanted to kill Li Xueying immediately, but killing her like this would be too easy. She wanted to take away everything that Li Xueying cherished.

She wants to marry Lu Feng legitimately, but she’s dreaming!
"How shameful! How shameful!" Lu Shaoqing was so furious that he almost fainted. His wedding had turned into a farce and he had lost all face!

Lu Shaoqing was furious, "Come here, take this crazy woman down for me!"

More than a dozen servants of the Lu family surrounded her. Su Qingwan let out a sigh of relief and felt relieved. As a woman, she was no match for the strong servants of the Lu family and was held in the hall.

Lu Shaoqing was furious, "Ms. Xie is so rude. She made a scene at the wedding hall. She is jealous and has no children. Lu Feng, write her a letter of divorce and expel her from the Lu family."

"Yes, father!" Lu Feng was overjoyed. Divorcing his wife without reason would be criticized, but now that she was going crazy in the wedding hall, it just gave him a reason to divorce her. After writing the divorce letter, Xie was no longer a member of the Lu family. It was legitimate for him to marry Li Xueying, and he could comfort her properly in the future.

Li Xueying thought to herself that after Lu Feng wrote the divorce letter, she wanted to kill Xie Zhaolan. If I can kill you once, I can kill you a second time, no matter if you are a human or a ghost!
The servant quickly brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Su Qingwan was forced to kneel on the ground and asked calmly, "Lu Feng, have you thought it through? Do you really want to write a divorce letter?"

Lu Feng picked up the pen and looked at him coldly, his eyes unable to hide his disgust. "You are just a business woman, how can you be compared with Xueying? She has wronged herself to be a co-wife, on an equal footing with you, but you are still dissatisfied and go crazy in the wedding hall. Such an evil woman should be divorced!"

Su Qingwan smiled gently, "Don't regret it!"

"I will never regret it!"

Lu Feng lowered his head to write the divorce letter, while Li Xueying stared at Su Qingwan hatefully, with murderous intent in her heart.

Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded outside the door, "The imperial edict has arrived!"
