Lu Sui and Qiao Wanzuan first met at the Drunken Moon House in Yangzhou. At the time, he was a guest seeking pleasure, while she was a delicate songstress from the entertainment quarter. They unexpectedly spent one night together.
They met again in the capital, at the Lu residence, where Qiao Wanzuan had become the Lu family’s timid young cousin. Lu Sui watched coldly, waiting to see what act she would put on.
To stay alive, the timid young cousin steeled herself and wrapped her arms around the neck of the sinister eldest son of the Lu family, pleading softly, “This humble woman has had a hard life. I beg the young master to take pity on me…”
He pulled her slim waist into his arms and curled his thin lips into a smile. “All right.”
He was used to schemes and knew nothing of love. He treated her only as a target to distract his enemies and shield him from attacks in the open and from the shadows.
She took those attacks for him, only to be given a bowl of poison when he suspected her of being a spy, and nearly have her neck snapped by his own hands.
If that’s how it is, whoever wants to stay in this wretched place can stay!
If she couldn’t win, she could at least run, couldn’t she?
She rubbed her nearly broken neck, gathered up the baby she’d just discovered she was carrying, and fled in the dead of night.
Later…
The once untouchable powerful minister clutched her wrist, his voice hoarse and almost pleading. “Come back with me…”
Qiao Wanzuan shielded the child behind her and glanced at him. “Go back to being your shield? Or wait until you’re in a bad mood and grab me by the neck again, telling me to get lost?”
Lu Sui’s eyes reddened. He pulled her tightly into his arms, trembling with every breath. “No. Come back and be my life.”
