At this time, somewhere in the Ru'nan Palace.

"Miss, where are we going? Didn't we say we should go back to the room and rest?"

Xiao He couldn't help but ask, the prince originally asked a maid to take them to the room, but the young lady suddenly asked the maid to leave halfway, saying that she knew the way to her room and didn't need her to lead the way.

Then the lady started walking in another direction, which obviously did not lead to her room.

Sima Yue was silent for a moment, and without hiding anything, he told Xiao He his thoughts.

"Miss, this..." Xiao He exclaimed, covering her mouth.

Although she felt that Lu Chuan was not a good person, she did not expect that he was in a relationship with the young lady and was also having an affair with the eldest lady.

But today is such a formal day, is it really appropriate for the lady to go to Lu Chuan?

The prince was so concerned about the young lady just now. Seeing that she looked unwell, he asked her to go back to her room to rest. However, the young lady took this opportunity to find another man.

"Miss, it's not good for you to do this. What if the prince finds out..." Xiao He was worried.

Xiao He was very happy that the prince had treated the young lady so much better in the hall. However, the young lady not only did not cherish it, but also took the risk to do such a thing.

"I just want to see if he is really connected with my elder sister." Sima Yue pursed her lips, feeling a little guilty for some reason.

"I'll go back after I finish watching it."

"If Mr. Lu really has something going on with the eldest lady, what will you do, Miss?" Xiao He asked cautiously.

"I believe him." Sima Yue said after a moment of silence.

If you really believed in him you wouldn't go to him at this time.

Xiao He felt depressed. Somehow, she felt that something bad was going to happen.

Sima Yue was also in a bad mood.

On the one hand, she felt that doing so was somewhat unfair to Su An, and she didn't know why she had such an idea.

Is it because she likes Su An that she cares about him?

It's impossible. She is not the kind of fickle woman who would fall in love with two people at the same time.

Perhaps it was because he was so gentle to her and was willing to tolerate her mother's character. Although her marriage to him was fake, she was still his wife in name only. However, she was going to find another man, so she felt guilty.

On the other hand, she thought of Lu Chuan. If Lu Chuan was really the kind of person Su An and Xiao He described him as, wouldn't her persistence be a joke?

With mixed feelings, Sima Yue and Xiao He came to Lu Chuan's residence.

This is a small courtyard with a quiet environment. Lu Chuan is a distant relative of her mother. Although the princess hates her mother, she did not treat Lu Chuan too harshly and allocated a small courtyard to him.

Her mother thought that Lu Chuan was a humble and polite person with good talent for cultivation. Since they were both her juniors, they should have a good relationship and help each other in the future. Therefore, she let Sima Xin interact more with Lu Chuan, and Sima Yue also came to this courtyard several times.

Walking into the yard, the decoration here is simple and elegant, with a well, a round stone table and several stone benches next to it, and a green bamboo planted by Lu Chuan himself by the wall.

Sima Yue suddenly remembered the scene when she first met Lu Chuan.

At that time, Lu Chuan was wearing a blue shirt and had a handsome face. He was sitting in the yard, reading a book.

Sima Yue noticed that his temperament was completely different from Su An's. He did not have that kind of noble air, but was more gentle and kind like jade as described in the books.

Lu Chuan noticed her and asked her why she came with a gentle smile.

Sima Yue said that her mother asked her to come and find Sima Xin, and invited him to have dinner together.

Sima Xin was not with Lu Chuan. He told his mother that he went to Lu Chuan's place to read books, but actually he went to a brothel with his friends to fool around.

Lu Chuan asked, "Sister, have you been in a bad mood recently?"

She was indeed in a very depressed mood at that time. Su An was pursuing her closely, and her mother also told her to keep this rich husband, even at the cost of her body if necessary.

This made Sima Yue very angry and she had a big quarrel with her mother. Later, her mother probably felt that she had said something too much and came to apologize to her, saying that she did not mean that.

Even so, she was in a bad mood during that period, and she began to reject Su An.

Lu Chuan was her distant cousin, and he looked gentle and easy-going. Sima Yue hesitated for a moment before telling him about her worries.

Then she discovered that Lu Chuan seemed to be her soulmate.

Everyone in the palace felt that since Su An, the son of the Marquis of Shenwei, had condescended to pursue her, the daughter of a concubine, she should agree.

Only Lu Chuan didn't think so.

I remember she said at the time that it was her mother who forced her to keep Su An, and that she didn't like Su An and even rejected him a little.

Lu Chuan's eyes seemed to light up, and then he told her righteously.

"Sister, you have to stick to your own ideas."

"What's important between a man and a woman is not whether they are well matched, but whether they are compatible and love each other."

"We can't betray love."

"Su An doesn't really love you. He only gives you some expensive gifts. Love cannot be expressed with these things. A man who tries to win his sister's love with expensive gifts is unreliable."

"Don't worry about your parents' orders or matchmaker's words. The most important thing is to stick to your own ideas."

Sima Yue was very happy that she had finally found someone who understood her. She felt that what Lu Chuan said was right, and she also agreed that Su An was an unreliable person, and she became more and more repulsive to him.

"Then I will refuse anything he gives me in the future." Sima Yue said.

Lu Chuan said, "This is something he wanted to give you. It has nothing to do with you. Just accept it."

"You didn't promise him anything anyway."

"It is natural for a man to give a gift to a woman he likes."

Sima Yue felt that what Lu Chuan said was very novel and completely opposite to what her mother said.

Men are not inferior to women, and it is natural for men to give gifts to women.

Later, she refused to accept the precious elixir and jewelry that Su An gave her, saying, "You keep saying you love me, but you only give me these things? They don't reflect your feelings at all."

Su An was obviously stunned for a moment, and then became even happier, "I knew you were different from other women and didn't care about the wealth of my mansion."

From then on, Su An began to learn cooking and cooked specifically for Sima Yue, hoping to impress her. Sima Yue told Lu Chuan about this, but Lu Chuan shook his head.

"A gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. I have always heard that the prince is idle, but I didn't expect him to be so absurd."

Therefore, Su An's action not only failed to move Sima Yue, but instead made her feel a little contemptuous.

Later, Lu Chuan often came to visit them in the name of studying together. Her mother was happy to see this and hoped that this distant nephew could help Sima Xin correct his bad habits.

Sima Yue also knew some of Lu Chuan's strengths, such as his proficiency in poetry and painting, and his ability to read many profound books on Taoism.

Sima Yue discovered that compared to Su An, Lu Chuan was more humorous and knowledgeable.

Su An has nothing except status and wealth.

Gradually, Sima Yue's relationship with this distant cousin became better and better.
