Transmigrated into a goddess from another world, and criticized the King of Yan for loving her like

"Just because of my face, I must be a stepping stone for you to climb up? You are already the prime minister, why are you not satisfied? Or are you just a greedy person!"

“I’m telling you, from now on, be nice to me and my mother, or I will spread the news about everything that happened in Wanzun Tower today!

Even if I lose my reputation and good name, even if I can't get married and no one wants me, it's better than being used as a puppet by you and becoming a stepping stone for you to rise to the top! Becoming a toy and being tossed around by others for the rest of my life."

Su Songqi was so angry that he was shaking all over. He raised his hand and was about to slap her, "Unfilial daughter!"

In a flash, Su Qingci quickly pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair, and the sharp tip of the hairpin pointed directly at her delicate cheek.

"If you dare to hit me, I will cut my face today! I'll see how you can attack me in the future!"

When Su Songqi saw her pointing the hairpin at his cheek and she really wanted to break up with him, he didn't expect that his usually gentle and weak daughter would be so tough. He underestimated her.

"Okay, okay, I underestimated you. But do you think that being disliked by the prince is the end of it? That's the end of it."

"I tell you, you wish!"

"Do you think I can't do anything to you just because you're at odds with me today? You're a girl and you'll have to get married eventually. Have you ever thought about your mother? What will happen to her in my backyard? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Rebellious son!" Su Songqi walked away cursing.

Su Qingci was left with no strength left in his body, sitting blankly on the stool.

No, she can't do this.

Beauty is her advantage. She must make good use of her advantages and strengths to find a good husband who is as powerful as the prince and can restrain Su Songqi and fight against Su Songqi.

Even if she had to beg him, she must protect her mother in the back house.

……

Su Qingci put out paper and pen and asked, "Xiao He, who are the young men from noble families in the capital who have not yet been engaged?"

Xiao He was grinding ink nearby. She was a little surprised to hear her ask this, but she didn't ask any more questions. "There are so many."

"The second son of the Imperial Censor and the youngest son of the Jingzhao Yin... they are both of the right age, but have not yet been married."

Su Qingci wrote them down one by one, and crossed them out one by one, but still felt unsatisfied.

"Is there... a son of a powerful person in Beijing?"

Xiao He thought for a while, "There is also the second legitimate son of the Prince of the County, the only legitimate son of the General of the Cavalry, Lu Huan, and the eldest legitimate son of the Marquis of Jianyi, Pei Ji."

When Xiao He mentioned Lu Huan, Su Qingci's heart skipped a beat, but the feeling quickly passed.

The Prince of the County is also a member of the royal family and is very close to the Crown Prince, so she cannot choose him.

"Marquis Jianyi and General Lu Guang of the Cavalry are both founding heroes?"

Xiao He: “Yes.”

"It's just that the Marquis of Jianyi was conferred the title, but Lord Lu was not canonized with the title. However... Lord Lu married the current emperor's younger sister, Princess Nanjia, and holds military power."

"The two families are similar in status. The title of Marquis Jianyi can be passed down from generation to generation, and he has a say in front of His Majesty."

"General Lu Guang is even better. He married the princess and lived in the general's mansion instead of the princess's mansion as a consort. He fought for the country on the battlefield and held military power, so he had a lot of say."

"But I heard that although both families were founding fathers, there is some discord between the two families."

"Discord?"

"Yes, but I heard that the two sons of their two families, Lu Huan and Pei Ji, seem to have a good relationship."

"Moreover, they both took the imperial examination and passed!"

"Pei Ji is now a compiler in the Hanlin Academy. General Lu was also an editor in the Hanlin Academy before, but later he followed General Lu Guang to suppress the rebellion. Because of his great merit, he was named General Hongyi."

Su Qingci seemed to be thinking about something, then drew two circles on Pei Ji and Lu Huan's names respectively.

Pei Ji’s official rank is not as high as Lu Huan’s now, but he is the eldest son of the marquis’s family and can inherit the hereditary title. He will not necessarily be worse than Lu Huan in the future.

Moreover, Lu Huan is a military officer. To put it bluntly, if he were to go to the battlefield and never come back, she and her mother would have no one to protect them.

From this point of view, it is better to be a civil servant with a title to inherit.

……

Su Qingci waited for many days and finally found an opportunity.

Tomorrow is Pei Ji's day off.

Moreover, Su Qingci asked someone and was told that he had made an appointment with his colleagues to have dinner at a restaurant.

Su Qingci made full preparations the night before, taking a bath, burning incense, and even thinking about the makeup she would put on the next day and the hairpins and jewelry she would wear.

She had to make Pei Ji's eyes light up.

……

The bustling market streets were crowded with people and cars. It was still early for the agreed time, so Pei Ji, who had nothing to do, led his servant to wander aimlessly on the streets.

Su Qingci, who was far away, caught sight of Pei Ji, who was majestic and handsome. A cunning look flashed across her lively eyes for a moment, and then she slowly walked towards Pei Ji.

When the two passed each other, Su Qingci deliberately threw an exquisite handkerchief at Pei Ji's feet.

When Pei Ji saw it, he bent down without thinking and prepared to pick it up.

Su Qingci pretended that he had just noticed that his handkerchief had fallen. He quickly turned around and squatted down to pick it up, and he intentionally or unintentionally hooked Pei Ji's fingertips.

Pei Ji was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the handkerchief and stood up. At the same time, Su Qingci also raised his head. When their eyes met, an indescribable emotion quietly spread in Pei Ji's heart.

"Miss, here is your lost handkerchief." Pei Ji raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and handed the handkerchief back to Su Qingci with a smile.

After saying that, Su Qingci reached out to take the handkerchief, and her fingertips accidentally touched Pei Ji's palm again. Pei Ji suddenly felt a strange electric current spreading throughout his body.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

Pei Ji also felt this strange atmosphere, but he did not show any abnormality on the surface. Instead, he smiled politely.

After Su Qingci thanked Pei Ji, he pretended to turn around and leave.

But just when she took a few steps, an accident happened - a frightened carriage came galloping from the corner!

The horse ran around the market like a madman, smashing many stalls into pieces.

Seeing that the carriage was about to hit the unsuspecting Su Qingci, the people around screamed in fear.

At this moment, the driver who was trying to control the horse obviously noticed that someone was about to cross the road ahead.

He waved the whip anxiously and kept shouting "whoosh!", trying to make the horse stop.

However, it was too late.

The frightened horse refused to obey orders and continued to run forward madly.

At the critical moment, Pei Ji rushed forward without hesitation.

As fast as lightning, he grabbed Su Qingci's wrist tightly, and then used all his strength to pull her back.

Because the incident happened suddenly, Su Qingci was completely unable to react.

She staggered, lost her balance, and took a few steps back.

Then, with a "bang", she fell directly into Pei Ji's warm and broad arms.

"Girl, are you okay?" Pei Ji asked with concern, his tone full of worry.

He looked down at Su Qingci in his arms, only to see that she had her eyes tightly closed and her face was as pale as paper, obviously she was very frightened.
