If I were born again, I would marry a strong but short-lived husband.

Lu Heng stood at the entrance in a crescent-shaped white brocade robe, his figure was as graceful as an orchid and a jade tree, as dignified and unparalleled as always, attracting everyone's attention.

He looked at Shen Sui'an with a look full of condemnation and displeasure.

She seemed very dissatisfied with Shen Suian embarrassing Song Xiuzhi in front of so many people.

"Shen Sui'an, you've gone too far." Lu Yan, who was behind Lu Heng, jumped out first, stepped forward and helped Song Xiuzhi up.

"Ms. Song is from a clean family. Do you have to humiliate her in front of so many people? Just because she said a few more words to my second brother, you can't tolerate her like this. Then after you get married, my second brother won't even be able to have a maid by his side."

Lu Yan accused Shen Suian and protected Song Xiuzhi behind her.

Shen Sui'an had always known that Lu Yan was not smart, but he never thought she was so stupid.

"Miss Song, how did I humiliate you?" Shen Sui'an looked at Lu Yan indifferently and asked.

Song Xiuzhi pursed her lips stubbornly, a crystal tear condensed on her eyelashes.

"Did I ask you to deliver the wine?" Shen Sui said calmly.

"Everyone knows about your relationship with Qu Qingli. What's the difference between what she did and what you did?" Lu Yan snorted.

Shen Sui'an chuckled again, "Miss Song opened the door to do business, so can't others buy wine from her wine shop? But kneeling down and saying that the wine is not good is humiliating her, Miss Lu, is your Lu family's shop particularly precious, so others can't say anything?"

"Then it would be better not to open a pub. Wouldn't it be better to take the child home and pamper him?" Qu Qingli chuckled.

"Pour out the wine and ask Miss Lu to taste it. Is there something wrong with the wine or are we deliberately making things difficult for her?" Shen Sui'an said.

The maidservant had already been smart and poured out all the wine in the two jars.

Not only was it handed to Lu Yan and Lu Heng, but even the noble ladies and young masters from the aristocratic families who were watching the fun around did not miss it.

"That's enough, Shen Suian, stop making trouble." Lu Heng's cold voice came softly.

Shen Sui'an raised his eyes and gave him a cold look.

"You brothers and sisters really have deep feelings for Miss Song."

Lu Heng frowned when he heard this. He didn't mean to favor Song Xiuzhi, he just didn't want others to see Shen Suian and Lu Yan having a falling out.

"Ms. Lu, why don't you drink? Do you also think this wine is not worthy of your mouth?" Qu Qingli said contemptuously.

"Drink it if you want." Lu Yan thought that since her second brother, who had such high standards, could drink Song Xiuzhi's wine, then it must not be that bad.

She took the wine glass and took a sip, then her eyes widened and she looked at Song Xiuzhi.

puff!

Lu Yan spat out the wine, showing no trace of disgust on her face.

Shen Sui'an smiled, "Miss Lu, how can you humiliate Miss Song like this? Even if it tastes bad, for the sake of your second brother, you can't just spit it out like this."

Song Xiuzhi's face turned pale and blue, and the eyes of people around her looked at her with even more contempt.

In fact, her wine is not too bad among the common people, but those who can attend Madam Qu’s birthday banquet today are either rich or noble, and they drink the best wines. Naturally, they are not used to this kind of ordinary wine.

"Even if...even if the wine doesn't taste good, you can't ask her to kneel down to you." Lu Yan shouted stubbornly.

In her previous life, she had defended Song Xiuzhi before Qu Qingli got into trouble, but in the eyes of Song Xiuzhi and Lu Heng, she was still too arrogant.

If she doesn't act arrogantly this time, it would be unworthy of Song Xiuzhi's superb acting skills.

"Her knees are weak and she likes to kneel down. What does that have to do with me?" Shen Sui'an said, "It's not like I forced her to kneel down by pressing her head."

"I just don't know when Miss Lu got to know this bartender. Could it be that your Lu family has already recognized her identity, but I am the only one who doesn't know?"

"If I had known this earlier, I should have stepped aside and not blocked the marriage between Mr. Lu and Miss Song."

Song Xiuzhi bit her lip and tried to kneel down again. "I'm sorry, Miss Shen, I offended you. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with me."

Lu Heng held her hand and said, "You don't have to kneel down to her. You did nothing wrong."

Qu Qingli and Princess Yongjia raised their eyebrows and looked at Lu Heng.

"You're already protecting her like this before we even get married?" Qu Qingli said coldly. She was actually worried that if Lu Heng protected Song Xiuzhi like this, she would be neglected if she married him in the future.

"Shen Suian, I've explained it to you. If you don't believe it, that's your business. Don't make things difficult for innocent people." Lu Heng looked at Shen Suian coldly, feeling annoyed by her aggressive treatment of Song Xiuzhi.

"I won't make things difficult for innocent people." Shen Sui'an said with a smile.

"Lu Heng, you are really disgusting. On the one hand, you beg the Shen family not to cancel the engagement, and on the other hand, you are flirting with a student like you. What do you think of my Shen family?"

Lu Heng's face darkened, "Shen Sui'an!"

Snapped--

Shen Sui'an raised his hand and slapped him, "Today you blocked so many people to bring shame to my Shen family for this bitch. Do you really think that I, Shen Sui'an, will marry you? Just look at your disgusting behavior, I feel disgusted if I look at it for even a second."

Lu Yan screamed, "Shen Sui'an, how dare you hit my second brother."

Shen Suian took the silk handkerchief from the maid and wiped each of his fingers carefully.

"Take your bartender and get out of here. Don't disturb Madam Qu's birthday party here." Shen Sui'an said coldly.

Lu Heng pursed his lips tightly, and the slap mark on his handsome and fair face was still eye-catching. "Today you have destroyed all the friendship between the Lu family and the Shen family. Shen Sui'an, don't regret it."

What Shen Sui'an regretted most was that he had indulged Lu Heng too much.

Lu Heng took Song Xiuzhi's hand and said, "Miss Song, I will take you away."

Turning around, I found that there were many guests around, the most eye-catching one among them was the man standing outside the hanging flower gate, facing the abyss.

The man was wearing a straight-leg official uniform with a four-claw flying fish pattern, which made him look tall and straight, with handsome and sharp features and a pair of black eyes as deep as a pool.

Everyone recognized his identity at once and unconsciously stepped a few steps away from him.

This person is the feared commander of the Pacification Division, the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Yuan.

Rumor has it that he is deeply loved by the emperor, decisive in killing, and has handled many secret cases for the emperor. His methods are cold-blooded and ruthless, and he is a cruel and merciless person.

Shen Sui'an was a little stunned. He was so focused on attracting hatred that he didn't notice the appearance of this evil star.

She was not familiar with Lu Yuan, but she would always remember that when she was helpless and had no one to rely on in the Lu family, Lu Yuan once helped her.

Unfortunately……

Lu Yuan’s life was too short.

Sometimes she thought that if Lu Yuan lived a few more years, Lu Heng would basically have nothing to do with the Lu family.

"Commander Lu, is there something wrong?" Qu Qingli was a little afraid of Lu Yuan. She held Shen Suian tightly with both hands, swallowed and asked.

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed across Shen Sui'an, "I am here to escort the Queen Mother out of the palace. I am just passing by."

"Empress Dowager?" Lu Yan stuttered, her face pale as she looked at Lu Heng.

Lu Heng glanced at Lu Yuan with a slightly cold look.

"How long have you been standing here, brother?"

"Not long ago, I just watched the exciting part." Lu Yuan curled his thin lips.

Lu Heng's heart sank. So, the Queen Mother also saw it...
