Chapter 272 Covet
Su Qingwan was even more confused. She didn't believe what those people said. She had been with Lu Jing for so long, and she knew what kind of person he was. When she was his sister-in-law, and he suspected her identity, he saved her at all costs and never did anything to offend her. In terms of character, he was the best.
Lu Jing felt that he was really talking at cross purposes, and was very helpless, "Xiao Wu... forget it, I feel like I can't explain it to you clearly."
"How could that be? There is nothing in this world that cannot be explained clearly." Su Qingwan was aroused by his competitive spirit. Lu Jing thought she was stupid. Couldn't this be explained clearly?
She doesn't agree!
Lu Jing said, "Some things need to be felt with the heart, and cannot be expressed clearly with the mouth. After a while, when the weather is cooler, let's go out for fun."
He wanted to go to the farm with Su Qingwan to have some fun, to be alone together without so many people around them, and to enhance their relationship.
"Okay!" Su Qingwan didn't object, "Then don't come to the villa these days."
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming and she doesn't want to see anyone.
Especially the former deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
In fact, she knew in her heart that she should not vent her anger on the Jinyiwei. She also understood what Lu Jing said. She was not a fool. Perhaps because he knew that the anniversary of his death was approaching, Lu Jing specifically mentioned that the Jinyiwei only obeyed the orders of the emperor and had no control over many things. This was the case for him, and it was also the case when Huainan was exterminated. They were all helpless, but many things could not be let go just because they were helpless. Su Qingwan could not do it either.
Therefore, she did not want to see anyone on the anniversary of her death and just wanted to pay tribute to her family quietly.
Lu Jing understands her and respects her.
"good!"
On the following anniversary of his death, Lu Jing really didn't come to visit, and Li An didn't come again either. Li An is now the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and it is even more inconvenient for him to come to the villa.
Su Qingwan did not go out, nor did she meet those who wanted to visit her. The noble ladies in the capital all sent her invitations, hoping to invite her to their homes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Qingyun was very angry. This group of people wanted to curry favor with the princess. At least they should find out what happened in Huainan on August 15th. Why did they invite the princess to the banquet? How shameless of them.
She destroyed these posts directly and did not give them to Su Qingwan so as not to anger her.
Lu Feng had been staying at home for a long time, so he invited a few childhood friends who had never ridiculed him to go to Nanfeng Tower for a drink. At the banquet, someone actually talked about Lu Jing and Princess Huainan.
His childhood friends also invited some young masters, and some of them maliciously tried to sow discord between Lu Feng and Lu Jing, saying that Lu Jing is now the regent, so why hasn't you been reinstated yet? Could it be that the rumor that the regent coveted your first wife is true? Otherwise, how could there be any overnight grudge between brothers? He would have helped you to enter the court as an official long ago.
Lu Feng reprimanded the group of young masters, "Nonsense, those are all rumors. Ziyu and Xie are innocent. These are rumors spread by someone with ulterior motives."
Lu Feng was not stupid. She knew that the Lu family depended on Lu Jing. Even if she was dissatisfied and resentful in her heart, it was impossible for her to ruin Lu Jing's reputation in public.
Ever since Lu Jing became the regent, he has heard many such rumors one after another. They are unpleasant and harsh, and all of them hit him where it hurts.
It was he who spread the news that Lu Jing coveted the eldest sister-in-law. It was he who deliberately wanted to ruin Lu Jing and the Xie family's reputation. He did the wrong thing in a fit of anger.
Now, it has become a knife stabbing him, and he still has to defend Lu Jing.
But deep down he always felt that Lu Jing was just coveting his eldest sister-in-law. In the ancestral hall, Xie admitted that she liked Lu Jing. Lu Jing appeared in Xie's boudoir late at night. After Xie came back, she didn't want him to enter Meilan Garden. They fell off a cliff, and they were alone together for so long. Everything had a traceable path.
But what can he do?
He could only defend Lu Jing.
One of them sneered and said, "You are still covering up for the Regent. Let me tell you in secret, the Princess of Huainan looks a lot like your first wife. Many people have spread this rumor. Maybe the Regent once coveted his eldest wife and found a substitute. You brothers..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter. Lu Feng was furious and swung his fist at him, "Shut up, shut up, shut up!"
He was so angry that he kept telling San Sheng to shut up, but he couldn't come up with any other rebuttal.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
