Chapter 33: Sensual Forbidden Love
In Shangxin Courtyard, Su Ci saw from afar Zhao Shizhu picking up food by himself and felt complicated.

Zhao Shizhu's behavior sometimes hits her soft spot, and some tiny details always reveal his strengths.

Most of the children of noble families that she had come into contact with were extravagant and lustful young men, and had picked up many bad habits of noble young men. Zhao Shizhu was obviously a prince, and his status was more noble than that of ordinary noblemen, but he was sympathetic to the people.

No matter how good he is, he is not her good man.

Putting aside her complicated emotions, she only hoped that the hero and the heroine would fall in love with each other as soon as possible.

Mother Tao saw Su Ci stuffing snacks into her mouth and said unhappily, "Why are you trying to discredit yourself in front of His Royal Highness Prince Duan? Since you're engaged, you should let His Royal Highness know that you're a beautiful and kind person..."

"Mom, I know!" Su Ci said as he hugged Tao's waist, "I like Tao the most."

Seeing this scene, Si Xue couldn't help laughing: "Before going to bed yesterday, the young lady said that she liked me the most. Who does the young lady like the most?"

Su Ci laughed himself.

Si Xue agreed with Mama Tao's statement: "The young lady usually hates wasting food, why did she want to discredit herself in front of His Highness? I don't understand."

Although the girl is the marquis's favorite daughter, she is usually kind to others. At most, she is a little naughty, but not as spoiled and willful as rumored by the outside world.

"Just think of it as me testing Your Highness." Su Ci was busy reading the comments and replied halfheartedly.

[Such a good opportunity, give me a big kiss!!!]

[If it were me, I would grab the girl's slender waist and give her a difficult waist-bending kiss. ]

[The female protagonist is still daydreaming, wake up. Zhao Shizhu just got engaged to Su Ci today, how could he have any thoughts about Su Hua at this time? ]

[On the day Zhao Gou got engaged to Green Tea Bitch, he suddenly fell in love with Hua'er. What's impossible about this belated love? Imagine Hua'er falling in love with a married man, and her brother-in-law. This is a taboo love that is exciting~]

[Now think about it, the original author wrote that Su Hua took the position, isn't it just the mistress taking the position and the original wife giving up the position? Maybe this AI live broadcast drama is to correct the incorrect three views of the original work. I firmly stand on Su Ci, the original wife! ]

[From the current plot direction, Su Ci has done many things but has not changed the plot direction, which means that in the end Su Ci will become Princess Duan. Just wait and see...]

After seeing this, Su Ci lost his appetite for anything.

She was afraid that as the comments said, her final plan of marrying in place of someone else would still end in failure.

For a moment, she was so depressed that she had no energy to do anything.

But after a nap, she suddenly became full of energy again when she saw the lush green flowers and plants in the yard.

Although she didn't know whether she could change the outcome of marrying Zhao Shizhu, she had to try anyway. If she didn't try, she would never have the chance to change her fate.

After all, sitting and waiting to die was not her nature.

She planned to keep this matter a secret from everyone in Shangxinyuan. Firstly, she felt that the fewer people who knew about it, the safer it would be. Secondly, she did not want to implicate the servants who had served her for many years.

Only she and Su Hua were involved in the substitutionary marriage.

The marriage between the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion and the Duan Prince's Mansion was decided, which caused quite a stir in Liangzhou City.

Su Ci waited until the impact of this incident was not so great before leaving the mansion. She left the mansion dressed as a servant, without bringing anyone with her and without alarming anyone in the mansion.

The last assassination incident made her wary, so she carried a sharp weapon with her in case of emergency. She first went to the southern suburbs and found Lao Liu, who had issued a private pass.

She has always liked traveling since she was a child and knows a lot of strange people, but she has never dealt with Lao Liu before.

She didn't waste any words and directly took out a hundred taels of silver notes. She lowered her voice and said, "I want to get the pass within half a month. Can you do it?"

It was the first time that Lao Liu saw such a generous buyer, and his eyes lit up: "Of course, where are you going, girl?"

Su Ci's eyes widened immediately: "How do you know I'm a woman?"

"Just look at the back of the girl's hand and you'll know. Which grown man has hands so delicate and tender?" Old Liu found it funny.

Su Ci glanced at the back of her white hand and looked a little embarrassed. Old Liu gave her a hint that she should dress more decently next time when she dressed up as a man.

She let Lao Liu arrange her identity on his own, the only point being that she had to stay away from Liangzhou.

Old Liu readily agreed, and Su Ci went to the horse market with satisfaction.

She walked absent-mindedly, looking at her hands from time to time. She had been pampered for many years and rarely got sun exposure, so her hands were indeed white and tender, and even a fool could tell that she was a woman.

She was so busy walking that she didn't notice a carriage passing by. This carriage happened to be from Prince Duan's Mansion, and the driver was Qi Xi.

Although it was just a glimpse, Qi Xi recognized Su Ci at once, and Su Ci's outfit was really...

He quickly said to Zhao Shizhu in the carriage: "Your Highness, I just saw Miss Su. She dressed up as a man. I wonder if she wants to do something bad again."

Seeing Qi Xi's exaggerated expression when she mentioned Su Ci, Zhao Shizhu laughed: "What bad things can a girl like her do?"

But thinking of what Su Ci had done recently, his smile gradually faded.

Maybe Qi Xi was right, and Su Ci dressed up as a man and really intended to do something bad.

"A decent girl dressed up as a man, without any servants around her, and she is going to do bad things? I have never seen a decent girl running out every few days. Who knows if she is going to have a secret meeting with other men?" Qi Xi's dissatisfaction with Su Ci was almost written on her face, and she didn't even take a breath while complaining.

Su Ci was absent-minded at first, until the barrage said that Qi Xi was complaining about her, she realized that she had just passed by the carriage that Zhao Shizhu was riding in.

Her face fell. Why did she meet Zhao Shizhu wherever she went?
She was a little worried, so she simply found a teahouse to hide in. After waiting for about a quarter of an hour and making sure that Zhao Shizhu had not followed her, she went to the horse market.

Zhao Shizhu didn't take Qixi's words to heart at first, but later he figured out something was wrong.

If Su Ci hadn't done anything wrong, why would he dress up as a man and travel alone?

As the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Xuanping and the future Princess Duan, and Su Ci had just been assassinated, there was no reason for the Marquis's Mansion not to send someone to stay by Su Ci's side to protect her.

There must be something wrong!

"That makes sense. I'll go and see for myself what tricks she is playing!" Zhao Shizhu made the decision instantly.

He suddenly suspected that this girl wanted to escape from the marriage at the last minute.

Zhao Shizhu: Haha, the wife I just got wants to run away...
