Happy Spring Every Year

Lu Yunzheng had left the Lu Mansion in a huff during the day, so it was naturally impossible for him to go back now, so he had dinner with Gu Xizhi in the villa.

Gu Xizhi had no appetite. She frowned as she looked at the delicious food in front of her. After a while, she suddenly muttered, "It's still not right..."

Although Lu Yunzheng had experienced many twists and turns today, he felt satisfied to be with Gu Xizhi at this time.

And because he had the convenience of rebirth, he firmly believed that he would be successful in the near future and felt more at ease.

Therefore, at this time, his appetite was very good. After hearing what Gu Xizhi said, he just asked nonchalantly: "Xizhi, what's wrong?"

Gu Xizhi put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands and said in a serious tone: "Yun Zheng, I still feel something is strange."

"I hid the letters we exchanged so well that even Bai Lu, who had been serving me, didn't know about them."

"Could it be such a coincidence that my house was robbed, the thief turned out the letter, and Baiji caught him red-handed?"

"Everything was going smoothly, but it was ruined at the last moment..."

Gu Xizhi felt unwilling.

If those letters had not been discovered suddenly, she was confident that she would be able to convince her godfather and godmother to marry her into the Lu family in a grand ceremony!

Lu Yunzheng slowly raised his head when he heard this. He seemed to have thought of something. His eyes gradually widened and even the chopsticks fell to the ground.

Gu Xizhi was startled and stood up and asked with concern: "Yun Zheng, what's wrong with you?"

In fact, Gu Xizhi wanted to ask why Lu Yunzheng said so confidently in front of General Lu today: General Dingguo’s mansion will be destroyed within two years.

But she was still pretending to be unconscious at that time. If she asked now, she would be exposed.

Lu Yunzheng slowly stood up, thinking over and over again in his mind about all of Shen Jiasui's performance today.

Could it be that she also...

But, it doesn't look like it.

Given Shen Jiasui's impulsive and reckless personality, and the look on her face when she wanted to eat him alive when they died together, how could she be so calm when they met again?

Could it be that after all these years, I have never really understood her?

Lu Yunzheng was hesitant, feeling that a hidden danger had suddenly emerged and he felt like a thorn in his back. He wished he could rush to Shen Jiasui right now to get to the bottom of it.

"Yunzheng?"

Gu Xizhi was a little frightened.

"Yun Zheng, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Yunzheng suddenly came back to his senses. He looked around and said softly:

"Xizhi, this villa is under my name. Father and Mother will come looking for us sooner or later. Let's go after dinner. I'll rent a new villa."

Regardless of whether Shen Jiasui lived a second life like him, this yard was unlucky and could no longer be lived in.

Lu Yunzheng said this a little suddenly. Gu Xizhi didn't understand why, but she still nodded obediently.

"Yun Zheng, wherever you go, I will go."

Lu Yunzheng looked at Gu Xizhi, who trusted him wholeheartedly, and felt pity for her. After hesitating for a moment, he decided to keep the fact of his rebirth a secret.

Xizhi is timid to begin with. If she knew that he had died at the hands of Shen Jiasui, she would probably be so scared that she couldn't sleep at night and would have trouble eating or sleeping. Why should I let her suffer from this fear?

The most urgent thing is to find an opportunity to try Shen Jiasui as soon as possible!

In just one day, the affairs of the Shen and Lu families spread throughout the capital.

Shen Zhengsheng was a general of Dingguo. Although he lost an arm on the battlefield due to defeat, he was still favored by the emperor after returning to Beijing and was still a favorite of the emperor.

After Shen Zhengsheng retired, Lu Yongzhu became the backbone of the resistance against the Mo Kingdom, and the marriage between the two families naturally attracted much attention.

But today, Lu Yunzheng came to propose marriage, but he took away a girl from General Dingguo's mansion. Later, the two returned to Lu's mansion hand in hand, and left in disgrace.

There are so many smart people in Beijing that they immediately smelled something unusual.

General Dingguo's Mansion also quickly released the news, saying that Lu Yunzheng was treacherous and unfit to be a son-in-law, and they took the initiative to cancel the engagement.

The Lu family did not argue about this and seemed to have accepted it.

There were well-informed people in the capital who quickly uncovered all the details of the broken engagement incident.

It turns out that Shen Zhengsheng has an adopted daughter, who is said to be the orphan of his subordinate. It is not known whether she is the result of his romantic debt at the border.

In short, Lu Yunzheng didn't like Miss Shen, but was completely devoted to the adopted daughter. He was going to break off the engagement and marry someone else.

As a result, General Lu disagreed, but Lu Yunzheng remained infatuated and was willing to break up with his family and run away in anger with the beauty.

People in the capital spread the story with details, saying that the adopted daughter of the Shen family must be a beauty, which is why Lu Yunzheng was infatuated with her.

Some people also said that Miss Shen was a tomboy who loved to play with swords and guns, so it was normal for her to be disliked.

After all, the world is harsh on women. In just one day, Shen Jiasui was rumored to be the one who was abandoned because of her ugly appearance and lack of romance.

As for Lu Yunzheng, he just had one more romantic anecdote.

There were some people who understood the situation and angrily accused Lu Yunzheng of betrayal and falling in love with someone else, which was not what a gentleman should do.

When people mentioned Gu Xizhi, they would say that the Shen family had raised an ungrateful person who had snatched away the marriage of their eldest daughter.

Anyway, there were many different opinions, and the private affairs of the two families were completely exposed.

General Dingguo's Mansion.

After practicing a set of shooting skills, Shen Jiasui returned to the house sweating profusely. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it all in one gulp, feeling extremely refreshed.

In her previous life, after she married into the Lu family, Lu Yunzheng had been indifferent to her. Her mother-in-law disliked her playing with a gun in the yard and sent her maid to talk to her several times.

In order to keep things peaceful, she put away the spear, but she didn't know that it would never see the light of day again.

Just now when she returned to the house, she saw the spear standing on the rack at a glance. She felt itchy and immediately ran to the yard to dance.

I am a little clumsy.

No problem, no one can arrest her from now on!

Shen Jiasui was feeling happy when Baiji came into the room from outside with a very ugly look on his face.

Seeing Shen Jiasui looking at her, she quickly restrained her expression and forced a smile.

Shen Jiasui raised his eyebrows, "Did you hear something?"

Baiji saw that his young lady knew what was going on, and his face immediately fell. He said angrily:

"My lady, I really want to sew their mouths shut!"

Shen Jiasui loosened his collar and walked towards the inner room, saying with a smile, "Then you'll have a lot of work to do. There are so many mouths to feed in the capital, you'll have to sew until the end of time."

Baiji felt that his young lady didn't know the seriousness of the situation, and he was sweating profusely:

"Miss, you don't know how ugly their stories are!"

Of course Shen Jiasui knew.

In her previous life, when the Shen family was wrongly accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason, they were bombarded with countless insults and curses. She went to the gate of the general's mansion and saw that the ground was black and red, as if countless chicken blood and dog blood had been splashed on it.

She, the young lady of the Shen family who was spared because she was married, was cursed countless times with the most vicious words.

Three people make a tiger, and accumulated criticism can destroy a person. If she really died by running into the door of the general's mansion because of this, she would be extremely stupid.

"Good Baiji, if you argue with them, you will get yourself killed. Come and help me put my hair up so I can take a bath."

Bai Ji stared blankly at Shen Jiasui walking into the inner room with such ease, and couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

She always felt that the young lady today was strange, not the same as before...
