Lu Huan's face flashed through Su Qingci's mind quickly. He wanted to say yes, but then he thought of Lu Huan's cold and distant eyes and shook his head.
He didn't seem to be interested in her, and if he didn't like her, she wouldn't make things difficult for him.
Otherwise, marrying him seems... not bad either.
Liu Jingru sighed, "I had no choice at the time. I just hope you can choose a man of good character who you like as your father, not someone like your father."
"If you're interested in Lu Huan, I can send someone to find out if he has a woman he's interested in. If he doesn't have anyone in mind, and he's a decent person, I think it would be a good idea for you to marry him."
"Qingci, what do you think?"
Su Qingci recalled what Lu Huan had said to her that day. He said that when he needed a handkerchief, he would come to her to get it.
But now, nearly half a month has passed, and that person has never tried to contact her.
Now that I think about it, I'm afraid I have forgotten her.
"Mother, let me think about it first."
Liu Jingru: "Okay, I won't force you. Think about it carefully."
During this period, whenever Su Qingci had time, he would come to keep Liu Jingru company and talk.
But most of the time she stayed in the room embroidering. After she had sent the servants away, she looked at the exquisite handkerchief she had embroidered and the sachet in her hands and pondered for a long time.
…
After a few days, she finally realized in her struggle that the wheel of fate was in her own hands. If she did not fight hard and take the initiative, she would be destined to be like a puppet at the mercy of others, and be forced by Su Songqi into the arms of those fat and hateful people.
This way, her life is ruined.
She doesn't want to be the second Liu Jingru, nor does she want her future children to be like her.
Therefore, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, she must bravely try it.
The next morning, Su Qingci carefully made up an excuse - he wanted to go out and buy some exquisite round fans.
This happened in the middle of summer, so she took the opportunity to go out and buy a new fan because the one she was using was old.
At the same time, she cleverly devised another plan and successfully detained Shu'er in the mansion. She also selected a relatively trustworthy maid, Xiaohe, to accompany her and go out with her.
After arriving at the market, Su Qingci first ordered the driver to drive to a shop.
After entering the store, she carefully selected and bought several round fans that she liked.
Just as she was paying, she calmly stuffed a thick stack of banknotes into the hands of the shop owner and whispered to her to go to General Lu's mansion to find Lu Huan and convey a message on his behalf.
At this moment, Su Qingci covered her face with a veil, making it difficult for others to see her true appearance.
The proprietress naturally had no idea the name of the woman in front of her.
As for what she had asked him to do, it was merely to tell Lu Huan that she had something important to tell him and that he needed to return a handkerchief that he had accidentally soiled, and she begged him to come to the restaurant to see her.
…
"Waiter, give me a private room." Su Qingci said.
"Okay, girl, please follow me." The waiter made a "please" gesture and took her upstairs.
However, at this moment, Su Songqi was accompanying the prince and his followers, drinking in this restaurant.
The summer breeze gently blew through the window, lifting the gauze on Su Qingci's head. It was at this moment that her beautiful face was unreservedly displayed to the guests in the box opposite.
One of the guests pointed at Su Qingci who was going upstairs in surprise and said, "Master Su, that seems to be your daughter over there."
Hearing this, Su Songqi turned around absentmindedly and looked around, and sure enough, he saw his daughter.
When he thought of the prince sitting on the throne, Su Songqi's foxy nature was once again revealed.
Seeing the Crown Prince staring at Su Qingci with an intoxicated look on his face, Su Songqi immediately offered a suggestion: "Your Highness, if you don't mind, how about having my daughter come over and drink a few glasses of wine with you?"
The crown prince had a wicked smile on his face, his eyes following Su Qingci's graceful figure as she went up the stairs. He smiled and said, "As long as Lord Su is willing to give it up, that would be great."
Su Songqi smiled apologetically and said, "Oh my, there's no reason to be reluctant. Qingci is so lucky to have the honor of serving Your Majesty."
…
Just as Su Qingci was about to step into the room, he heard a familiar and life-threatening voice behind him.
"Qingci."
Su Qingci turned around to look and was shocked, "Father, why are you here?"
Su Songqi: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is having a banquet over there. Come with me and pour some wine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Su Qingci knew very well that this was not pouring wine at all, it was clearly the same old trick again.
But she couldn't not go. If she refused to go, then what she said before would be exposed.
And if Su Songqi finds out that the person she made an appointment with is Lu Huan, it will implicate him instead.
Su Qingci was pushed to sit next to the prince, but she could not show any reluctance.
She poured the prince a glass of wine and pretended to be respectful and fed it to him, "Your Highness, please."
This move pleased the prince very much, and the men around him also laughed and joked that the prince was lucky, which greatly satisfied his vanity.
Su Qingci lowered his eyes, his smile faded, and he tried hard to suppress the hatred and grievance in his heart. When he raised his eyes again, he met a pair of cold eyes in the corner.
Why is he here?
Is Lu Huan actually the prince's guest of honor?
