I fought back after reselling my engagement

"Which girl is this?" asked the general.

"The second young lady of the Zhen family, her maiden name is Zhen Su. She is a great benefactor to the Lu Tiezhu brothers and has helped the Lu family for three years." said the servant.

Zhen Su, Su Su, Su Niang, his first wife whom he had let down in his previous life, the "perfect fairy" in the eyes and mouths of his family. He pacified the northern border, brought glory to his family and returned home with a title of nobility, but she died of a serious illness.

When he was not at home, this woman married into the Lu family, served his parents, taught his brothers and sisters, and even his young nephews, nieces and sisters all learned to read and write, turning their poor peasant family, which previously had only a few acres of barren land, into a farming and reading family with hundreds of acres of fertile land and long-term workers. When he returned home, his brothers and sisters and nephews kept calling him "sister-in-law" and "aunt-in-law", and his parents even called him "Mrs. Su".

The servant said, "Three years ago, the Third Master fell into the water, and it was Miss Zhen Er who saved him. She left five taels of silver for the old lady to hire a doctor. Miss Zhen Er also arranged for the Third Master to go to school and study. She used her maternal grandfather's connections, and the teacher she found was a well-educated man. Children from ordinary families could not enter his private school at all, and he had a very good reputation in the capital."

Because Lu Tiezhu was arrested, he really said a lot of things this time.

The general hesitated again and again, and he came back. In order to leave no regrets, he tried his best to win the eyes of the nobles. No one took away his military merits. Instead, he had the reputation of "a wise and brave tiger general" from a humble family, and even the old emperor favored him. He did all this for his parents and family, and even more for his wife whom he had never seen in his previous life.

If his wife had not died early, he would not have been plotted against and would not have married Wan as his second wife. He would not have been dragged into the quagmire of the fight for the throne among princes by the Wan family, leading his entire family to a dead end.

This time, he lined up early and stood next to the future crown prince and new king, just because he didn't want to be treated as a pawn and ordered around.

The servant reported, "We have already found out that Miss Zhen Er is not going to watch the dragon boat race today. Instead, she is meeting her best friend at the Mingxiang Teahouse near Liulin for tea and a chat."

My mother once said that she likes quietness, doesn't like to please others, and doesn't like to gossip. It makes people feel comfortable to be with her. Now it seems that she is really a quiet person.

Mingxiang Teahouse is most famous not for its tea, but for the surrounding scenery. In spring, you can enjoy the flowers and fly kites; in summer, the cool breeze blows through the willow forest and the river breeze, making it a great place to cool off; in autumn, the garden is full of yellow flowers and the fragrance of chrysanthemums is intoxicating, and picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence is quite elegant; even in winter, you can walk in the snow and enjoy the plum blossoms.

Zhen Su sat in the most secluded private room at the end while waiting. Fearing being eavesdropped, he even booked a room next door.

The servant asked, "Boss, did a girl in emerald green dress come over with a maid in a pink jacket just now?"

The shopkeeper looked at the general: he was dressed in a dark robe, his hair was tied up in a neat military hairstyle, and he wore a silver crown. His eyes were as dark as a pool of water. Several kinds of black overlapped and intertwined together, creating a strange feeling, as if he was not a living person in this world, but just a shadow in the sun. You can see him, but you can't touch him. He is so close, but in fact he is so far away.

He had bronze skin, but his features were strong and handsome. He was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with bright black eyes that could kill enemies when angry and radiate light when happy. His gentle smile was like a wintersweet blossoming in the first snow, elegant and aloof, and even in the severe cold, it had a warmth of spring.

This is a general. Could he be the great general who defeated Qidan in the north? This is a heroic figure. Even the emperor praised him in front of all the civil and military officials as a "tiger general with both wisdom and courage".

"Yes, yes. Today all the guests went to watch the dragon boat race, but this girl is very interesting. She booked the private room at the end of the upstairs corridor and even the one next door." The shopkeeper replied in a low voice.

The general's mind changed. Considering his ups and downs in the past forty years, this was a little unusual. Usually, this was done only when there was a conspiracy. By booking the room next door, he did not want to hear the important matter she was going to discuss.
