Gao Jiarong's interference killed his mother.

He thought that Su Qingci was luckier than him after all, as her mother was at least still alive.

Lu Huan was like her. Not only did they have similar circumstances, but they were also the topic of conversation among people in the capital after dinner.

Their two names always appeared together, so that in addition to feeling empathy and pity for her, Lu Huan also had a very strange feeling.

As a man's self-esteem, he hated the feeling of being tied to her name.

Make him feel ashamed.

It's not a good thing, but their names always appear together in other people's mouths.

Some people even joked that they were a perfect match.

They said that if they had the chance to be together, they would definitely appreciate each other, after all, they had the same experience.

From the initial pity, he began to feel annoyed after hearing these words.

He doesn't like being looked down upon by others, and he also hates being imagined to be weak.

He must be both civil and military, and must stand out in the world, in order to bring honor to his mother.

Therefore, he could not have any relationship with her, nor could he marry an unfavored woman without a family background to support her.

He would not do as those people wished, letting them laugh at him and tie him to the unfavored daughter of the prime minister for life.

……

He used to think that Su Qingci was luckier than him, but later he thought that he also had his luck.

He is a man, he can pass the imperial examinations, serve his country on the battlefield, and make his mother proud, making others envy her for having a good son.

But Su Qingci can't do that, she is a girl.

Without her father's love, her life was almost half ruined.

Sometimes Lu Huan couldn't help but wonder, what would she do if he was not there?

Su Songqi, this old fox, only treated her as a chess piece. He would sell her to wherever he could get more benefits.

It was a very strange feeling.

He had clearly warned himself that he should not stop and pause when he heard news about her, and he should not feel pity for her anymore.

Her affairs have nothing to do with him.

But he still couldn't control his heart, couldn't help but be curious about her current situation, couldn't help but think about her future situation. He couldn't help but think about how he could help her.

However, he would not allow others to link the two of them together or tie them together.

The thoughts of young people are always contradictory.

He wanted to stay away from him, but he couldn't help but care about her.

He couldn't describe this strange mood and feeling.

……

It wasn't until I saw Su Qingci's true appearance at Xu Wanqing's birthday party.

Xu Wanqing was the youngest daughter of his teacher. She had been pampered since childhood and had a somewhat spoiled personality. She loved to compare with others the most.

Su Qingci was also there that day and brought a small gift, but Xu Wanqing and her best friends publicly mocked her for giving a gift that was not presentable enough.

I heard that her stepmother was the housekeeper in the backyard of her house. Her stepmother always made things difficult for her and her mother, so naturally she would not prepare a generous gift for her to bring to the banquet.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that this gift was the best she could give.

But Xu Wanqing and others used her pain to mock and ridicule her.

Lu Huan knew that this was the fate of a woman who was not favored.

Perhaps, her mother had been like this before, being mocked and ridiculed by the women in the capital, who laughed at her for being born in a small place but having the good fortune to marry a great general.

Facing the same Su Qingci, he felt a little bit reluctant.

……

Even though he was ridiculed by everyone, Su Qingci did not get angry or annoyed. He just apologized to Xu Wanqing with an expressionless face.

Seeing that she was neither angry nor annoyed, Xu Wanqing and the others thought it was boring, so they said a few sarcastic words and left.

Lu Huan had sharp eyes. After everyone left, he clearly saw that her hands hidden in her sleeves were trembling and clenched into fists, as if she was trying hard to endure the humiliation that she shouldn't have to endure.

In fact, in terms of official rank, Xu Wanqing's father is not as good as Su Qingci's father.

Su Qingci's father, Su Songqi, was a first-rank prime minister, while Xu Wanqing's father was only a first-rank prince's tutor.

Although his official rank was only one level lower, the Prince's Grand Tutor had no real power and only had the duties of teaching and assisting.

The position of prime minister carries greater power and actual authority.

Logically speaking, Xu Wanqing shouldn't treat Su Qingci like this.

But who let all the noble families and ladies in the capital know that Su Qingci was just an unfavored daughter?

Even if they made things difficult for her today, what could she do? Would she go home and complain to Su Songqi?

They knew that she had no one to support her, so they treated her like this.

That was the first time Lu Huan wanted to support someone.

……

In fact, among the people present, perhaps only Lu Huan knew the real reason why Xu Wanqing targeted Su Qingci.

Xu Wanqing was not targeting Su Qingci because the gift she brought was not valuable enough, but because she was still beautiful despite her simple dress.

Even if she is dressed simply, her elegant and refined temperament is hard to hide.

And when she turned her head, the red mole at the corner of her eye even better neutralized her elegant and graceful temperament.

The whole person looks more delicate and charming, with a bit of unconscious seduction.

At that moment, his heart paused for a moment, then began beating rapidly, like thunder.

The woman whom he had despised and didn't want to be tied up with, had grown into such a seductive face and figure.

With such beauty, it's no wonder that old fox Su Songqi wants to use her to gain benefits.

Perhaps the looks from everyone made her feel embarrassed, so Su Qingci walked towards a direction where there was no one. Lu Huan paused for only a few seconds, then raised his leg and followed her.

He didn't know why he followed her, and in fact, he didn't have anything to say, but it was the first time that his hands and feet were so disobedient.

Su Qingci accidentally dropped a handkerchief in the corridor. Lu Huan picked it up from behind. Before he could call her and return the handkerchief to her, a servant came and said that Lu Guang was looking for him and it seemed that there was something important.

Lu Huan had no choice but to stop, gritted his teeth and turned back.

Later, the handkerchief accompanied him for a long time until it came in handy in the Prince's Mansion.

Although she noticed that the handkerchief looked familiar, she no longer remembered that it was her handkerchief.

Later, she said she wanted to make a new handkerchief to thank him, so he kept waiting, but ended up giving the handkerchief she made for him to the prince in front of him.

For the safety of herself and her mother, Su Qingci tried to seduce Pei Ji, but never considered him.

She also wouldn't know that her name was already deeply engraved in his heart long before she even knew him.

From Su Qingci, to Su Zhao.

Even though she is no longer the same person she once was, even though she is not in a similar situation as him, he will still fall in love with her again.
