Chapter 43 Lifesaver

Before Qi Sheng appeared, Lu Huaihe didn't take it seriously. A young boy was not dangerous to him.

Now a group of young portraits were placed in front of Su He, and Lu Huaihe felt a little bit like a cat.

Compared with those high-spirited men in their early twenties, his silence and indifference seemed out of place. Su He was still young, and even if she was divorced, she was still in her prime. In addition, she was beautiful and had a good family background. I believe there were many men chasing after her.

Lu Huaihe couldn't help laughing.

It really came true what he said before.

Miss Su is beautiful and intelligent, and she is virtuous. I believe men in Beijing are flocking to her.

The Su Mansion was full of people.

After Wang and Madam Duan carefully examined all the men's portraits, they looked at Su He with a smile. Seeing that she was unmoved, they gently advised: "Ah He, don't be so cautious. There are many women who have remarried in Beijing. Don't care about other people's opinions. Come and take a look. The second son of Li Taifu's family is talented and handsome. He is a perfect match for you."

Su He glanced at the portrait and found that he had a big black mole on the right corner of his mouth. From the perspective of the whole picture, it was very disappointing.

Madam Duan added: "This mole is very particular. The one close to the mouth should be a lucky mole. You will not have to worry about food and drink, and your future will not be a problem. Sister, don't you think so?"

She asked Wang with a smile.

Wang, who had been observing her daughter's expression, forced a smile in response and placed the portrait of the second son of Li Taifu's family at the very bottom, deliberately saying, "Marriage, marriage, it's all about fate. Our Ah He is not going to agree to marry anyone she meets. We married into the Lu family because we had a connection. If Lu Yanxiu hadn't rescued Ah He from the water at the Lantern Festival, how could there have been what happened later?" When

Su He heard her mother mention the Lantern Festival four years ago, she recalled her first meeting with Lu Yanxiu, and the coldness that had passed over the years, and a feeling of bitterness and hatred rose in her heart.

"The Lantern Festival?"

Mrs. Duan thought about it carefully. She was also at the Lantern Festival that year. She knew about Su He falling into the moat, but the person who saved her at that time wasn't...

She asked tentatively: "You said that the person who saved Ah He was Lu Yanxiu?"

Wang nodded.

Mrs. Duan frowned and whispered: "Wrong, wrong!"

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wanrong just felt that she was making a fuss.

"I said, it wasn't Lu Yanxiu who saved Ah He that night!" Madam Duan clapped her hand on her thigh and looked sideways at Su He. Seeing her staring at her with sparkling eyes, she couldn't help but recall the situation that day: "After you fell into the water, the first person you saw was Sheng'er. He wanted to jump into the water to save you, but I didn't allow him... Ahem, it's not that I didn't allow him, but I thought it was too dangerous. You know Sheng'er is my favorite child. While I was hesitating, a figure rushed down decisively. When he rescued you, I saw clearly that it was the eldest princess's only son, Lord Lu, the Minister of the Dali Temple!"

"He's soaked! After checking your pulse and finding nothing serious, he didn't even have time to take a breath, and rushed to catch the fugitive with his sword..."

Su He's lips moved slightly, her watery eyes flashed, and her body seemed to be frozen.

Fugitive...

On the night of the Lantern Festival, people were panicked and crowded because of a fugitive who had escaped.

Su He was accidentally knocked into the water while releasing lanterns by the moat. She was afraid of water since she was a child, and she closed her eyes while struggling for fear of falling in. She was relieved when she suddenly fell into a strong and broad embrace.

But she swallowed a lot of water because of her struggle, and she was already fainted when she was rescued to the shore. When she opened her eyes again, Lu Yanxiu was standing by her side, which made Su He mistakenly believe that she was the one who saved her.

Wang asked in disbelief: "Madam Duan, are you telling the truth?"

Madam Duan put her hands together and said Amitabha: "My dear sister, I can't lie about the merit of saving people! When Lord Lu picked Ah He up from the lake, it was the dry clothes I delivered..."

Su He could no longer remember what was said in the hall. She

only remembered that it was Lu Huaihe who saved her.

But at that time, the weak Su He once asked Lu Yanxiu: "Did you save me?"

Lu Yanxiu hesitated for a few seconds, did not answer, but nodded lightly.

Su He was therefore firm in his thoughts.

From then on, she began to regard Lu Yanxiu as her savior, so she was willing to do anything for him.

Now when she thinks back, she regrets her infatuation.

Su He looked a little dazed, her fingers intertwined, and she carefully recalled all the scenes with Lu Huaihe.

It was fragmentary and incomplete.

In her previous life, Su He had very few interactions with Lu Huaihe. She only knew that he was an elder and an unattainable official.

But when everyone in the Su family died in the sea of ​​fire, it was he who investigated the case and interrogated the case day and night, vowing to bring justice to the Su family. Whenever Su He

thought of Lu Huaihe, his light tone would always come to his mind.

"Lu Yanxiu and I are collateral relatives, so you don't need to address him in such a formal way."

"Just call him as we did that day in the bamboo house."

"Lu Yuan..."

Su He clenched her fingers, and the silk handkerchief was crumpled into a ball.

At that time, the servant came forward to report that Young Master Qi had arrived.

Madam Duan's face changed, and she stood up immediately: "What is he doing here?"

Qi Sheng is already married, and has a dignified and generous wife at home, but he still ran to the Su Mansion to embarrass himself?

Without waiting for Mrs. Duan to react, Qi Sheng had already strode into the hall. His eyes naturally fell on Su He. Seeing that she was distracted for a moment, he reluctantly withdrew his eyes. Standing in front of the hall, he said to Wang respectfully, "Qi Sheng has met your aunt and sister Zhao."

Wang smiled and said, "Are you here alone?"

Qi Sheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Wang added, "Since you have already started a family, it would be more appropriate for you to bring your wife with you for visits in the future."

Mrs. Duan felt a little relieved after hearing these words. She

glanced at Qi Sheng again, and was immediately furious. Her eyes were almost fixed on Su He!

"I came here today because I heard that your family was going to arrange a marriage for Ah He."

Mrs. Duan's heart skipped a beat. She hadn't leaked any news when she left in the morning. How did he know?

Wang was stunned and didn't know what he meant.

Zhao Wanrong said, "Ah He is all alone, and mother feels sorry for her loneliness, so she wants to see if there is a suitable candidate in the capital. Young Master Qi is..."

Qi Sheng's face turned red, and he was about to kneel down in front of Wang.

"Mother!"

Su He said suddenly.

Her face looked a little ugly, and she didn't even look at Qi Sheng. After standing up, she bowed to Wang and Madam Duan: "I'm not feeling well, so I'll go back first."

Without waiting for the people in the hall to answer, Su He walked out decisively.

"Ah He..." Qi Sheng called nervously.

After not seeing her for a long time, she has become more charming. She

used to be a young and tender girl, but now she has become a mature and virtuous lady from a wealthy family.

Qi Sheng's throat moved, and he had a lot to say to Su He.
