Chapter 284: Losing Temper
Su Qingwan was obviously venting her anger on Lu Jing. After she came to the capital, she gave people the impression that she was married to Lu Jing, and was Huainan's hostage in the capital, a political sacrifice. Huainan was weak now, and Nianqing was not strong enough. Even with the residual power of her father, she could not intimidate many people, and the veterans could provide very little help.
Lu Jing didn't say anything about the plot against him, and the young lady of the Sun family was still imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison. The Sun family felt that this was a case of much ado about nothing, and that it didn't matter even if one girl from the Sun family was sacrificed, as they had many girls in their family. Who could have thought that Su Qingwan would take action and cut off their financial resources.
Moreover, if his tea business is cut off, his expenses for the whole year will be affected. If Su Qingwan still refuses to accept the Sun family's business next year and relies solely on themselves to distribute it, the losses will be huge.
The Sun family also realized the seriousness of the situation. Since Su Qingwan refused to see them, they sent someone to find Lu Jing. The person who tied the bell must be found to untie it.
Lu Jing was well-informed. He knew that Su Qingwan had taken action against the Sun family. The Sun family really needed to teach them a lesson. The Sun family girl would definitely not be saved, and he would definitely kill the chicken to scare the monkeys, otherwise such things would continue to happen, and it would be troublesome for him and Su Qingwan.
However, he had not really touched the lifeline of the Sun family yet, so there was no need to make a big fuss. He could just stab them with a soft knife. He also thought that Su Qingwan would not care.
Her emotions were also very dull, and he could not feel that Su Qingwan cared about him. Perhaps she liked him a little, but he knew in his heart that Su Qingwan was more of a compromise for him.
From killing General Mu, using the beauty trap for the southwest, to coming to the capital to maintain stability in Huainan, these are all compromises. Even if there is some affection, once it is mixed with marriage, it will become very complicated.
This time when she punished the Sun family, it was the first time that Lu Jing felt Su Qingwan's care for him.
He sent someone back to the Sun family, saying that he had no control over Princess Huainan and that he could not stop his wife from doing anything she wanted to do. The implication was that he was indulging Su Qingwan and not caring about her affairs with the Sun family.
Lu Jing sent the girl from the Sun family who was imprisoned in the Jinyiwei prison back. The girl was so thin that only a layer of bones was left. After being sent back to the Sun family, she was sent to a temple, where she lived with the Buddha by the green lamp from then on.
Gradually, the reputation of Princess Huainan Su Qingwan for being jealous and cruel spread. It was because of her jealousy and cruelty that the girl from the Sun family ended up like this. She also wanted to kill them all and cut off the Sun family's financial resources. From then on, everyone knew that Princess Huainan was not easy to mess with.
Lu Jing dragged his injuries to come to the villa to see Su Qingwan. The weather was very cold, with snowflakes flying. The red plum blossoms in the courtyard were blooming brightly, and the green plum blossoms were also blooming in the wind, bright and beautiful, forming a beautiful sight in her courtyard.
Lu Jing had been in her boudoir several times recently. Although it was not in accordance with etiquette, they were engaged as a couple, so they didn't care. They didn't talk about the Sun family, but Su Qingwan wanted to see his wound.
Lu Jing was not good at playing the victim, so he told the truth, "The injury was not serious, and it has almost healed."
The injury was sustained at the beginning of the first lunar month, and it is now the end of the month. Although recovery is slower in winter, he feels at ease resting at home, and he is recovering quickly.
"Why didn't you send someone to tell me?"
She lived a comfortable life on the farm. If she had known that Lu Jing was injured and so seriously injured, she would have come back to see him. For more than twenty days, they sent messages to each other, but they didn't know the truth. Su Qingwan was a little unhappy.
"Your Highness and I have a complicated relationship. The palace is full of chaos. It would be troublesome for you to return to the capital. It would be better for you to hide away in the manor." Lu Jing chuckled and said, "I was also injured at that time. I was a little confused. If I tell you the truth, there is nothing I can do except worry."
Su Qingwan felt a little depressed, and after listening to Lu Jing's calm explanation, she felt even more uncomfortable.
She recalled that when she was young, she was very naughty and liked to wear men's clothes and go horseback riding with her brothers in the clan. She liked to shoot arrows since she was a child, playing with them all over the mountains and fields, climbing trees and catching fish. Being naughty would get her hurt. Every time she got hurt, she would tell her mother about it when she got home. Her mother would apply medicine to her with great concern. Her father was also very strict with his children. Knowing that she always ran around, he would occasionally set rules, mostly out of concern for her. She never worried that her father would scold her for being injured, and she always exposed her wounds fearlessly. She knew that her father and mother loved her, and they gave her the confidence to expose her wounds.
On the other hand, during the more than ten years after the Huainan clan was exterminated, she lived in the southwest. No matter how hurt or sad she was, she would not tell them about it openly.
It’s not that the King and Princess of the Southwest didn’t love her, they loved her very much and treated her as their own daughter, but she knew deep down that she was not their real daughter and she had no right to act spoiled and willful. She had to be sensible and not cause trouble, lick her own wounds and resolve her emotions on her own. In the final analysis, love was not enough to make her expose her wounds and she didn’t have the confidence to act recklessly.
Is it the same when Lu Jing hides the truth from her?
"Unhappy?" Lu Jing could sense her emotions and lowered his voice, "Then I'll change it and tell you next time?"
Su Qingwan was so angry that she laughed, "What good thing is this? Do you want to do it again next time?"
"Okay, I said something wrong again." Lu Jing couldn't help laughing, "Why are you unhappy? Can you talk to me about it? If you don't tell me, I won't know and I'll make the same mistake again next time."
"I'm not unhappy." Su Qingwan was also stubborn, "It's good that you kept it from me. I'm not a doctor, and I can't do anything when I return to the capital."
Lu Jing, "..."
This is obviously angry!
Su Qingwan ordered them to leave, "My Lord, it's getting dark, you should go back to the Lu family."
Lu Jing couldn't figure out why she was angry, but he knew that if he left, Su Qingwan would really ignore him for a month. He was not that stupid. "I'm still injured, and you won't give me dinner?"
It gets dark early in winter, so Su Qingwan also had dinner early and didn't prepare any food for Lu Jing. But since he brought it up, Su Qingwan didn't resist. Qingyun went to prepare dinner, and Su Qingwan picked up the storybook to read, not intending to pay any attention to Lu Jing.
Lu Jing found it quite interesting. For some reason, he was actually a little excited. He liked to see Su Qingwan throwing a tantrum. He didn't really try to coax her, but instead followed her example and picked up a storybook to read.
Su Qingwan wanted to say something but stopped herself. Lu Jing was confused, but he knew what was going on when he opened the storybook.
They were storybooks written by failed students, all about love. One of them was about the love-hate relationship between a poor scholar and a rich lady. They loved each other but were suppressed by their families, so one of them died and the other married far away. Lu Jing flipped through another book at random, and it turned out to be a storybook about the eldest princess keeping six concubines. It was written in a very erotic and hot way.
Lu Jing, "..."
Su Qingwan pointed at the book in his hand and said, "Your Highness, I haven't tasted this one yet. I... don't have this habit."
Lu Jing, "..."
