You've already caught the embroidered ball, and you still say it's not my husband?

Madam Su spoke indignantly, clearly hating Lu Xuan for running away from the wedding.

As Su Qingwan listened, her expression turned strange. A sentence came to mind:

The deeper the love, the more intense the hate.

By the time she was fifteen or sixteen, she had blossomed like a lotus emerging from the water, pure, gentle, and graceful; having been well-versed in poetry and literature since childhood, she gradually began to show her talent in poetry, calligraphy, and painting, and her fame grew...

So much so that the saying "The Su family has a daughter who has just come of age, a true beauty with both talent and looks" circulated in Yunzhou City.

The city's most talented and scions of noble families had the keenest sense of smell, and they all rushed to the Su residence with matchmakers to propose marriage.

In ancient times, the principle of "arranged marriage by parents and matchmaker" was highly valued.

As a mother, Madam Su strictly oversaw the selection of her daughter.

She felt that the suitors who came to propose marriage were either not good-looking enough or lacked knowledge and skills... Among hundreds of young men and talented men, not one could catch Madam Su's eye!

This shows how high Madam Su's standards are in choosing a son-in-law!

But what about now?

She was furious because Lu Xuan "ran away from the wedding"!

The more this is the case, the more it proves Lu Xuan's excellence, and the more it proves that she admires Lu Xuan and wants him to become the Su family's son-in-law!

"whee."

Seeing this, the girl couldn't help but smile, covering her mouth with her hand and chuckling softly, she gently advised, "Mother, don't be angry."

"Young Master Lu is a doctor, and there may be other patients waiting for him to treat; we cannot delay..."

Su Qingwan actually defended Lu Xuan.

"You...you're so stupid! You haven't even seen that brat in person, and you're already speaking up for him...sigh!"

Madam Su sighed softly, somewhat helplessly.

Her daughter has been kind-hearted since childhood, unable to bear seeing pitiful people or hearing about pitiful things, and has always been understanding and tolerant of others.

Just like now, even though her "husband" has run away, she still insists that Lu Xuan might have some urgent business or difficulties...

Is it stupid?

At this moment, the maid brought over a bowl of black chicken and ginseng soup.

"Don't mention that brat. Here, Qingwan, have some chicken soup to nourish your body."

Mrs. Su personally fed her daughter chicken soup.

After drinking about half a bowl, Su Qingwan gently pushed the bowl away, saying, "Mother, Qingwan can't drink anymore."

"I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while."

Mrs. Su was very pleased to see that her daughter had drunk a lot of chicken soup.

Su Qingwan has just recovered from a serious illness and is still weak, so she really should rest well.

"Xi'er, keep an eye on Miss! If anything happens, notify me immediately!" she instructed the maid with her hair in a bun beside her.

"Yes, madam."

Afterwards, Madam Su left the room, leaving only Su Qingwan and her personal maid Xi'er.

After Madam Su left, Su Qingwan did not sleep or rest. Her eyes were bright and alert, showing no sign of weakness.

When she woke up, she had recovered to about 70-80%, and after drinking half a bowl of chicken soup, she felt even better!

rest?

That's more like an excuse for her to get her mother away!

"Xi'er, come here."

Su Qingwan lowered her voice and beckoned her maid, Xi'er, to sit down by the bed.

"W-What's wrong, Miss?"

Have you ever seen that young master Lu?

"Yes, I see you. I've been here all along..."

"Then tell me in detail, what kind of person is this Young Master Lu?"

Xi'er was Su Qingwan's personal maid. She was the one who rushed to the main hall to inform Su Qingwan that she had fainted. She witnessed the whole thing.

Although Mrs. Su just recounted what happened, she omitted many details and her account was not entirely objective.

Su Qingwan really wanted to hear a detailed and objective version so that she could better understand what kind of person Lu Xuan was.

"Miss, didn't you say you wanted to rest?" the maid asked, puzzled and somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, I'm doing very well now, and my mother won't know... Xi'er, tell me quickly."

At this moment, Su Qingwan resembled a playful girl next door, her peach blossom eyes filled with curiosity.

"Um."

Seeing that her mistress was in good spirits, Xi'er nodded gently and began to speak softly.

She recounted the entire incident from beginning to end, down to every single detail.

The maidservant got more and more excited as she talked, and from the beginning, she called Lu Xuan "Young Master Lu" or "Doctor Lu," but unconsciously she started calling him "son-in-law."

"Miss, the young master is so handsome! There aren't many scholars and young gentlemen in the city who are as good-looking as him!"

"The son-in-law's medical skills are superb! Even the renowned Physician Liao of Yunzhou City is ashamed to admit his inferiority!"

"The son-in-law's insights are quite unique! That stubborn Wang Hao insisted that he was infatuated with Miss Yu, but the son-in-law directly and angrily exposed him, saying that what he called infatuation was actually... sexual harassment! Hahaha."

"The young master's martial arts skills are amazing! They far surpass those of the master and the eldest son. I couldn't even see how he made his move, yet he killed that fierce-looking Wang Hao and saved all of us."

"Afterwards, a group of people claiming to be from the Demon Suppression Division arrived. The female foreman in charge was incredibly fierce and intimidating. When she heard that it was the young master who saved the young lady and killed Wang Hao, she was quite taken aback for a while, haha..."

After listening to Xi'er's detailed description of Lu Xuan, Su Qingwan understood even more clearly just how outstanding Lu Xuan was!

So much so that it can be said that apart from his ordinary family background, Lu Xuan is almost flawless in every other aspect!

No wonder Madam Su, who was so arrogant and resentful, was so furious after Lu Xuan ran away from the marriage.

Lu Xuan's image has been elevated even further in the eyes of young girls...

"The son-in-law is perfect in every way, but for some reason he doesn't want to marry the young lady. Sigh!"

The maid Xi'er sighed, her face full of regret.

Su Qingwan blinked. As a fellow young girl, how could she not see some things?

He then deliberately asked with a smile, "Xi'er, have you fallen for Young Master Lu?"

It's perfectly normal for a young woman to be attracted to a beautiful and graceful woman, and for a young woman to be moved by an outstanding man.

Xi'er is Su Qingwan's personal maid. If her young mistress gets married, she will likely become a "chamber maid" to serve her husband.

If the son-in-law were like Lu Xuan... this little girl would probably be very willing.

what?

Xi'er blushed immediately, and was startled when she realized what had happened.

"This servant wouldn't dare! This servant knows her mistake, please forgive me, Miss..."

Xi'er panicked and was about to kneel down to beg for forgiveness when Su Qingwan reached out and pulled her back.

"Xi'er is so silly, Miss didn't mean to blame you."

Su Qingwan feigned anger and said irritably.

But her voice was still so gentle, as gentle as the water in the Lotus Lake in Yunzhou City!

She smiled, a smile as radiant as a lotus in bloom: "Actually, I also think... that Young Master Lu is truly outstanding!"

Xi'er was stunned for a moment.

It seems that my young lady also has some feelings for that young master Lu!

That's wonderful!

Su Qingwan held Xi'er's hand, her gaze fixed on the window, her voice soft: "When I feel better tomorrow, I'll go see Young Master Lu. I want to thank him in person..."

Lu Xuan saved her and the Su family, making him a great benefactor to the Su family. Even if Lu Xuan didn't want to be the Su family's son-in-law, she should still thank him out of both courtesy and reason.

The maid Xi'er snapped out of her daze and asked, "But Miss... the young master has run away! Yunzhou City is so big, and the ends of the earth are so far away, where can we find him?"

But then Su Qingwan's lips curled up slightly, her smile even a little... sly!

There's a saying in a book: "You can run away from the monk, but you can't hide from the temple..."

Xi'er scratched her head. She hadn't read many books and didn't know what her young mistress meant by those words.

Her intuition also told her that what her young mistress meant... didn't seem like a good thing.

"Let's go to Young Master Lu's house; we should be able to see him there."

"I see! Hehe, Miss is so clever!"

……

Achoo, achoo!

On the other side, Lu Xuan sneezed twice in a row.

"Who's insulting me?"
