Chapter 348 Divorce 2
The people gathered at the gate of the palace were almost all ordinary people. The palace guards could not drive them away at will, nor could they use force, as they would hurt others.
As soon as Su Qingwan came out, the people attacked her and threw rotten vegetable leaves and small stones at her. Qingyun rushed to her to block them. The stones and rotten vegetable leaves fell on her. Su Qingwan saw a stone about to hit Qingyun on the head, so she stretched out her hand to block it, and the back of her hand turned red instantly.
Qingyun was distressed. Li Yue waved his hand and drove the people out with his guards. The people were filled with righteous indignation and scolded Su Qingwan for marrying two husbands, ruining the reputation of the Regent, causing Lu Feng's tragic death, and being a beauty who brought disaster and a murderer. Some people even scolded her so badly that it was unbearable to look at, as if Su Qingwan was the cause of their family's fickleness.
Qingyun was almost mad to death. Hundreds of people gathered at the door, all demanding justice for Lu Feng. Qingyun was almost mad to death. It was obviously her daughter who suffered all the injustice, why was everyone calling for her to be beaten.
Li Yue couldn't take action. Lu Jing was handling Lu Feng's funeral today and sending him to the ancestral grave. He was not in the city, but the people came to make trouble. Su Qingwan didn't believe that no one had instructed her to do so.
Lu Jing holds a high position, and she is the Princess of Huainan. Their identities destined them to have many political enemies, so others kept an eye on them, hoping to find faults in them. Although there were a lot of rumors in the past, they did not cause much impact because of the suppression of the Jinyiwei. Moreover, this was the Lu family's family affair, and it was difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs. The people would not say much, but it was different now. Lu Feng was dead, and those rumors snowballed. The group emotions were swept up, amplified, and expanded rapidly, all directed towards Lu Jing and Su Qingwan.
The people did not care about the war between Huainan and Xilin, or whether Su Qingwan and Lu Jing would marry to stabilize the situation. They only knew that Su Qingwan was fickle, causing the Lu brothers to turn against each other and Lu Feng to die tragically.
Zhang said, "Xiaowu, you can see that the people of the whole city are boycotting this. This matter has caused a great uproar in the city and challenges the common sense of human relations. If you are unreasonable, Ziyu's official career will also be over, and he will definitely be criticized by the censors."
Qingyun wanted to interrupt Zhang, but considering that Su Qingwan respected Zhang very much, she was afraid that her tone would be too harsh and she had to endure it.
Su Qingwan looked at those unfamiliar faces. It was obvious that she had never done anything to offend them, but this group of people came to attack her. It was really ridiculous.
Zhang was right. If she and Lu Jing did not divorce, this matter would be difficult to resolve. Lu Jing would be criticized by the censors. Although he was the regent appointed by the previous emperor, it would also affect his position in the court.
If they divorced, then...what would happen to the situation in Huainan? She still needed Lu Jing to help her stabilize Huainan. If they divorced, it would affect the whole situation. What would Nianqing do?
Political marriages are so cruel, with bloodshed and interests everywhere. If divorce is not what Lu Jing wants, and she insists on it, it will definitely affect the situation in Huainan. Even with the eldest princess, Lu Jing's mediation is still necessary.
Regardless of whether her feelings for Lu Jing are genuine or fake, she will not easily think of divorce. But the current situation makes it difficult to back down. What should she do?
Su Qingwan said, "Mother, please give me the divorce letter. You can announce to the public that Lu Jing and I have divorced."
She turned around and walked back. Qingyun glared at the group of people making trouble and followed Su Qingwan back. Zhang was a little surprised, "Do you really agree to divorce?"
"As long as Lu Jing nods, I will sign the divorce agreement!" Su Qingwan said calmly. In fact, even if the divorce agreement was given to her, what Zhang wrote was equivalent to Lu Jing's signature.
Zhang looked embarrassed. Su Qingwan said, "Mother, it has not been easy for him to get to where he is today. He will not give up his position as regent easily. He knows what to choose."
There were always people making trouble at the door, which was not conducive to the pregnancy. Qingyun suggested to live in the manor house, which would be quiet. Su Qingwan thought about it and felt that the mansion was too noisy. Lu Jing would be busy for a while after arranging the funeral. They could meet at the manor house then. Qingyun kept talking about how beautiful the autumn scenery was at the manor house, and coaxed Su Qingwan to go there to relax, and Su Qingwan agreed.
Qingyun couldn't even wait until the next day, and immediately packed her luggage and left through the back door. She was always efficient in doing things, and she directed the servants to move things. Su Qingwan called Li Yue in to give her instructions.
After Qingyun had packed up, he saw Li Yue coming out of the study with a serious face. Su Qingwan had just finished writing a letter and sent it to Lu Jing. Qingyun asked, "What's wrong with Li Yue? She looks so bad."
"Nothing, have you packed your things?"
"It's all packed up, girl. These people are just making trouble for no reason. We can stay at the manor for a while. The prince will definitely not divorce you."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to stay here for long." Su Qingwan chuckled and reminded Qingyun, "Take your sword with you."
"good!"
