With an aunt who was the Empress, Lu Qingyan lived a very happy life in the palace, almost completely forgetting about Yang Xiuzhu and Lin Ke who were outside the palace.
Until one day he met Lin Yu'an on the road.
The man wasn't tall, but he wasn't short either. Wearing armor, he exuded a certain imposing presence, giving off a sense of pressure as he walked towards her. What shocked Lu Qingyan the most was the face of her husband from several lifetimes ago. Her husband had become her brother-in-law; Lu Qingyan felt a sharp pain in her teeth.
Previously, Lu Qingyan only knew Lin Yu'an's name but didn't know what he looked like. However, when she actually met him, she was certain that this person was Lin Yu'an.
When this person walked over, Lu Qingyan felt that he was the person with the strongest aura she had ever met, apart from her royal uncle.
"Lord Lin." Lu Qingyan bowed timidly, hoping that this person would walk past her.
Lin Yu'an held an official position, and Su Xiaoyao, though the daughter of the Su family, was merely a commoner. She had no choice but to obediently bow before him.
Lu Qingyan thought that this person would leave after she bowed, but she didn't expect him to stand there with his gaze fixed on her, as if a fire was burning inside her.
"Miss Su." Lin Yu'an looked at the woman in front of her with her head down and felt that she looked somewhat familiar.
This is the eldest daughter of the Su family, and the fiancée of his nephew Lin Ke. He was somewhat surprised to see her here, as he could still recall what she looked like when she was young.
However, from then on, this girl had nothing to do with Lin Ke. He was aware of the despicable things Lin Ke had done, and he had no objection to breaking off the engagement. He just felt sorry for his nephew, who had no choice but to get entangled with that Yang woman instead of marrying the legitimate daughter of the Su family. He deserved it.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Yu'an didn't know how to face this young girl.
"Miss Su, what do you think of me?" Lin Yu'an suddenly asked.
Lu Qingyan had no idea what he was up to, but she mechanically replied, "Young Master Lin is a man of extraordinary talent and skill in both literature and martial arts; he is a fine son of our Celestial Empire." This was a proper and respectful answer, and also a compliment to Lin Yu'an.
Lu Qingyan felt that she had a tough time. Even after breaking up with her fiancé, she was still able to praise her fiancé's second uncle. However, Lin Yu'an truly deserved the praise.
Lin Yu'an's lips curved into a smile upon hearing Lu Qingyan's words, but her reply struck Lu Qingyan like a thunderbolt: "Since you think it's good, how about I go to the Su residence to propose marriage another day?"
Lu Qingyan quickly took a few steps back, clutching her chest and looking at him warily: "What do you want to do?"
Although Lin Yu'an has the same face as in her previous life, it doesn't mean that she will accept him upon their first meeting in this world.
"I am naturally interested in Miss Su and am willing to continue the marriage agreement between our two families." Lin Yu'an said sincerely, but Lu Qingyan sensed a hint of ill intent in his words.
She slapped him across the face: "Lin Yu'an! What do you take our Su family for?"
Lin Yu'an blinked, puzzled, and asked, "Why is Miss Su angry?"
Whether this person was genuinely ignorant or pretending not to, Lu Qingyan was trembling with anger: "Lin Yu'an, even if your Lin family are important officials of the Emperor, our Su family is the Emperor's in-laws."
