Chapter 312: Silencing
"Xie Zhaolan, it's really you!" Lady Anping's voice almost changed. She was surrounded by a group of guards, all of whom were servants of the Anping Marquis's Mansion. They were aggressive and fully armed, as if with a single order from Lady Anping, they would rush forward and kill Su Qingwan.
The girls of the Lu family were all a little scared and leaned towards Su Qingwan, all a little flustered. The guards of the palace were all Jinyiwei, especially Li Yue, whose blade was slightly exposed, and the cold light was visible. If she followed Su Qingwan and was harassed or assassinated, she would be beheaded without Lu Jing's help.
Anping Bo rode his horse closer and roared, "Get out of the way!"
Li Yue chuckled, "Madam Anping, why don't you show respect when you see the princess? Where are your manners?"
"What kind of princess is she? She is Lu Feng's divorced wife. How could she suddenly become a princess? She is also the murderer of my daughter. Get out of here, or don't blame me for being rude!"
Su Qingwan signaled Qingyun with her eyes to take the two girls aside. She rode her horse closer to the Lady of Anping, through the guards of both sides. She had expected such a thing to happen without inviting the Lady of Anping.
"Madam Anping, you've got the wrong person. I'm from Huainan, the Princess of Huainan, and now I'm Lu Jing's wife, the Regent Princess. This is our first meeting and we're meeting on the battlefield. Is this the etiquette of your Kyoto clan, or... do you want to commit insubordination?" Su Qingwan's eyes were filled with contempt, almost arrogance.
Lady Anping was extremely distressed. At first, she was worried that the Li family had offended the princess. Why didn't the women of the Li family be invited? She sent people to ask in a humble manner, and suffered humiliation, but did not get an answer. The whole capital knew that the Li family was not invited, which was a very humiliating thing, but she couldn't say anything or ask anything, and had to endure it.
She even greeted the lady she had a good relationship with, and asked for a gift, but the lady sent the gift back. Mrs. Anping was very surprised. The princess did not invite the Li family. Maybe the noble lady forgot about it, but she took away the gift, which must be resentful. She didn't know why and was confused.
Under her questioning, the lady finally told the truth, saying that the Princess of Huainan looked exactly like Xie Zhaolan, and Xie Zhaolan was the Princess of Shezheng. Lu Jing had been having an affair with his eldest sister-in-law for a long time, and now he married his sister-in-law openly. Anping Bo was so angry that he trembled. She felt that Lu Jing would not be so foolish as to disregard his reputation for beauty.
Lady Anping must see with her own eyes whether Lu Jing and Su Qingwan are as bad as the rumors say. Seeing is believing. Unexpectedly, it turns out to be Xie Zhaolan.
Lady Anping suddenly realized why Lu Jing sided with Xie Zhaolan and killed her daughter. Her precious daughter was killed by Lu Jing himself.
She had always held this hatred in her heart, but because Lu Jing was the regent, she had no way to take revenge. She also felt that her daughter was too much to dig up someone's ancestral grave, and she barely suppressed the hatred in her heart for the sake of her husband and son. But now she was told that Lu Jing and Xie Zhaolan had been having an affair for a long time, and they had conspired to kill her daughter!
It must be a conspiracy! How could Lady Anping not hate it? She hated it so much.
"No wonder Lu Jing protected you and convicted my daughter. No wonder Lu Jing contradicted His Majesty for you. No wonder..." Lady Anping's eyes were bloodshot. "My daughter knew about your scandal, and you conspired to kill her to silence her, right?"
