Chapter 322 Husband and Wife
Su Qingwan originally acted pitiful and pretended to be weak in front of him, but she didn't act weak at all. Lu Jing knew her too well and would not believe that she was bullied by the Lady of the Marquis of Anping.
"The wife of the Marquis of Anping set fire to the farm and wanted to kill me. She has been detained by the prefect of Kyoto. You came back in time to watch this show!" Su Qingwan's smile was particularly calm in the firelight and blood.
Lu Jing was furious but also a little distressed. Xie Zhaolan's matter was a thorn in her heart. How could he naively think that she could really let go of her hatred and live a carefree life.
Xiaowu is a vengeful person. How could he tolerate the Anping Marquis's provocation? He doesn't care at all who did it tonight.
"Next time you want to do something like this, wait until I come back. There's no need to dirty your hands."
Su Qingwan was slightly startled, her heart softened, and she looked at Lu Jing with eyes that seemed to be filled with a layer of water light, "Okay!"
Lu Jing stepped forward and hugged her. The newlyweds were forced to be separated for several days. He actually missed Su Qingwan very much, but he couldn't express his longing to her. He knew that Su Qingwan might not miss him.
But he became the one who was always worried about her no matter where he went.
The farm was burned down, but Lu Jing still had a farm nearby, so Lu Jing took Su Qingwan back to the palace. Su Qingwan was extremely quiet along the way. For some reason, she felt guilty and didn't want to talk to him in detail about the wife of the Marquis of Anping.
Lu Jing seemed tired and kept his eyes closed, not talking to her. He had a cold look when he closed his eyes, and the atmosphere in the carriage was very solemn.
Li Yue and Qing Yun who were outside the carriage felt it was strange. The prince and the girl should be celebrating their reunion after a short separation, but why was there no movement and no one was talking?
Could it be that the prince is angry?
Qingyun glanced at Li Yue, and Li Yue spread her hands. She seldom asked about Lu Jing and Su Qingwan's affairs. She felt that the prince and princess were both very rational people and did not need others to interfere in their affairs, whether it was political or personal.
Su Qingwan also wondered whether Lu Jing was really angry because he was so cold. However, when she lay in bed at night and was almost torn apart by him, she didn't have the energy to think about it.
A short separation is better than a new marriage. After calling for water several times at night, the maids who were on night watch all breathed a sigh of relief. They thought the prince and the princess were going to have a quarrel, but they did not expect that they were still so loving. So they did not have to worry too much.
When Su Qingwan woke up, Lu Jing had gone to court. She was well-informed, and the news that Lady Anping had sent someone to assassinate the Regent Princess spread throughout the court and the country. After Lu Jing returned to Beijing, he attacked the Anping Marquis's mansion. Lady Anping Marquis had been imprisoned in the Kyoto Prefecture Prison. Officials of the Anping Marquis's lineage did not dare to intercede, and trembled under Lu Jing's anger.
After all, she was caught red-handed, with irrefutable evidence. Who dared to refute her? When Lu Jing returned to Beijing, he saw that his princess was almost burned to death at the farm. He was furious, and no one dared to run into the gun.
The younger brother of the Earl of Anping only said that his eldest brother and nephew were on their way back to Beijing, and if there was any crime, they would talk about it after they returned to Beijing.
Lu Jing sneered, "This king has never taken human life lightly. The Anping Marquis's wife sent someone to assassinate my princess. The evidence is irrefutable. I will naturally wait for the Anping Marquis to return to the capital and ask him who instigated this."
"Your Highness, what you said is too serious. Earl Anping and his sons have been guarding the border in the south of the Yangtze River. This matter should have nothing to do with him!" The eldest princess spoke a fair word for Earl Anping.
"Husband and wife are one, sharing weal and woe. I have never heard of a woman making a mistake while her husband can stay out of it."
Everyone: "..."
The lineage of Earl Anping was feeling uneasy. From what Lu Jing said, he was planning to punish everyone involved. Even Earl Anping and his sons would not be spared. Would the entire Li family be implicated?
Li Jia Erlang couldn't help but curse the stupid woman in his heart. She actually did something that was against the family's interests. If the Li family was really implicated, she would be the eternal sinner of the Li family, and the Li family's hundreds of years of business would be ruined. If she offended Lu Jing, the emperor had not yet taken power. What future could the Li family have?
Su Qingwan also knew that Lu Jing was making trouble in the court, and she curled her lips in a smile. As expected of a couple, they were so tacitly connected that even without her having to point it out, Lu Jing knew what she wanted to do.
She may not really want the Li family to be destroyed, but she wants to see with her own eyes the pain of being deserted by her enemies.
Lu Jing never asked her what she wanted to do, but he helped her put pressure on her without making a sound. As Lu Jing had promised in Huainan, although Jiang Shan was powerful, she was also important!
Su Qingwan was in a good mood, and she even forgave Lu Jing for his ferocious behavior. She also specifically ordered the kitchen to prepare his favorite meals. When Lu Jing came back and saw the table full of his favorite dishes, a smile appeared on his face.
Su Qingwan is a very meticulous person. Her likes and dislikes are not very obvious, but she never abuses herself when it comes to food. Her preferences are very obvious. The cooks in the kitchen are specially recruited for her. Lu Jing is not a picky eater, but he has his own dietary preferences, which are actually different from Su Qingwan's. Su Qingwan noticed it carefully.
Perhaps because he grew up in the south, Lu Jing's taste tends to be more Jiangnan style. He likes light or sweet food, which is in sharp contrast to Su Qingwan's spicy taste.
During the time when he was away on business, Su Qingwan specially found a chef who could cook Jiangnan cuisine and cooked only for Lu Jing.
She is very attentive to food, clothing and other expenses. No matter who she marries, she will be the best in the family in charge of household expenses. Lu Jing enjoys this very much.
"Is this a reward?" Lu Jing asked jokingly.
"If you think of it as a reward, then it is a reward!" Su Qingwan chuckled and said, "I am actually just offering you a gift. You can try the new chef's cooking skills. If you like it, you can stay."
If you don’t like it, just change it!
Lu Jing tried a few dishes. Su Qingwan was the kind of person who did everything to perfection and made sure it was the best. The same was true of the chef they invited. The food he cooked was refreshing and delicious. The sweet and sour fish was sweet and sour and delicious, very authentic. Lu Jing liked it very much.
"Xiao Wu, thank you!" Lu Jing felt warm in his heart. He had never worried much about food. When he joined the army, a piece of sesame cake could last him for four days. The dishes cooked by Zhang were not tasty, but he was afraid that his mother would be sad, so no matter how bad they were, he would support them. Zhang knew that her cooking skills were not very good, but she still persisted in cooking for him. In fact, it was also a token of her thoughtfulness.
The same was true when Su Qingwan changed her cook. After getting married, he never worried about her food, clothing, housing and transportation. Zhou Jingming went to the Gyeonggi station with him and joked that his life had become more meticulous after he got married.
It’s different after getting married. He knows that Su Qingwan is very caring.
"We are husband and wife, it would be awkward to say thank you!" Su Qingwan said with a gentle smile, "If you really want to say thank you, it should be me who says thank you!"
Thank him for never growing up together, but for their tacit understanding, thank him for holding his hand firmly and persistently, she really believes it now.
If Lu Jing could hold her by his side for the rest of his life, she would have a very warm and comfortable second half of her life.
