Chapter 389 Door Lintel

After Nian Qing left, Lu Jing returned to the palace. He knew that Nian Qing came to see her, but he didn't come to disturb them, giving them time to spend together as aunt and nephew. Su Qingwan was also grateful for his thoughtfulness.

"Have you and Nian Qing also talked about this?"

The sun was setting and the room was already a little dark. There was no light on. Lu Jing felt that Su Qingwan's eyes were brighter than the stars and very gentle. He was almost immersed in her gaze.

Lu Jing thought that Nian Qing must be very happy to see her. Since she was in such a good mood, she must be relieved about Huainan.

"Do you want to hear the truth?"

Su Qingwan nodded, and Lu Jing chuckled, "I haven't talked to him about this. Nian Qing is quite stubborn and doesn't like to open up to others. He respects me more than he loves to be close to me. Perhaps he knows that I'm the Regent and that our positions are always hostile, and he has some misunderstandings about me. Therefore, he doesn't like me and won't share his inner thoughts with me."

"What misunderstanding?" Su Qingwan was surprised.

"It's not a misunderstanding. He thinks I'm forcing you to the capital as a hostage because I don't like you. If I hadn't arranged your marriage, you could have stayed in Huainan. Besides, you took the risk of giving birth this time, and for various reasons, I wasn't by your side. It's inevitable that he would have a prejudice against me."

"You are also helpless. Nianqing is still young and may not understand these things. It will be fine when he grows up. He talked to me about his inner thoughts and I know what he thinks. Although I don't agree with him, he has his own insistence and he also convinced me. Nianqing is the last bloodline left by my brother and the only male in my Huainan Palace. He will support the Huainan family in the future. I hope he can be upright and honest. I also hope that he will focus on Huainan and cut off ties with the royal family. But I am not Nianqing. I have never thought from his perspective. Although he was sent to the mountain by His Highness, He practices martial arts, but he's nominally the Lu family's child. The Lu family dotes on him, obeying him in everything. His Highness also loves him and protects him meticulously. Even the late emperor... The late emperor actually met my brother. His Highness was away from the capital for several months before the Huainan extermination. Nianqing looks so much like my brother, and the late emperor sensed this, but he didn't kill Nianqing, also out of consideration for blood ties. Late emperor, your Highness and the royal family are also Nianqing's relatives. He's half royal blood, how could I demand he give it up? His voluntary exposure is far better than someone backstabbing him and making his life story known to the public."

Su Qingwan had actually been worried about this. There were many people and many gossips, and she was really afraid that someone would stab her in the back and deliberately make a fuss about Nian Qing's life experience. People's hearts are fickle, and who can guarantee that they will not use this weakness to control her and Nian Qing in the future? Now the hidden danger has been eliminated.

From a long-term perspective, it is also a good thing, but there are many crises to deal with at the moment. Fortunately, Nian Qing has just won a victory and his prestige is at its peak. Although his life experience has impacted him, there will be no unrest in the army.

After Nian Qing left, Su Qingwan thought about it carefully. This child thought more thoroughly than she did.

He always said that he didn't want to become a stranger to his mother, so he followed his heart and found a way out.

Lu Jing said, "Nian Qing is very smart, smarter than you think. You really don't have to worry about him. Even if his identity is exposed and the people of Huainan know that he comes from the Li family, he will have a way to win over the people."

Su Qingwan nodded. "To be honest, I was really worried before I met Nian Qing. But now I feel relieved. Huainan has successors. Nian Qing will definitely be able to support the family."
