Happy Spring Every Year

Baiji had only walked halfway when Aunt Zhou's servant, Mother Lin, came to pick her up in person.

It can be seen that Aunt Zhou knew very well what happened in the mansion.

As Bai Jifang stepped into the yard, Aunt Zhou came out to greet him with a smile on her face and was very polite.

Baiji followed Shen Jiansui's instructions, said some polite words, and took out the letter from his arms.

When Aunt Zhou heard that Lu Yunsheng was punched by Shen Jiaheng, her expression remained unchanged. She took the letter with a smile and started reading it on the spot.

Baiji felt a little unsure.

She watched the young lady write this letter, and she knew the contents, which were just some ordinary words. She didn't know what the young lady's intention was.

After reading the letter carefully, Aunt Zhou said in a gentle voice, "Miss Shen is so polite. It's normal for young people to play around with each other, but I'm really flattered that you even asked her to come here in person."

"Mother Lin, Yan Mo, Miss Shen is so polite, I absolutely cannot be rude."

After a while, Baiji was escorted out of the house by Mother Lin, carrying the reply letter from Aunt Zhou.

......

Mother Lin hurried back to the courtyard and asked impatiently, "Auntie, what does Miss Shen mean?"

Aunt Zhou leaned on the beauty couch, fanning herself intermittently, and asked instead of answering:

"How's things going in the main house?"

Speaking of this, Mother Lin became very excited.

"On the way back just now, I happened to receive the news that the man was furious and had thrown a lot of things. It looked like he wanted to go out and look for the adopted daughter of the Shen family right away."

Mother Lin finally realized what was going on and asked in surprise, "Could it be that Miss Shen is deliberately doing this to anger Madam and provoke her to take action against her adopted daughter?"

"But if this happens, Miss Shen will also offend Madam. I'm afraid her life won't be easy when she marries into the family."

Mother Lin naturally thought that Shen Jiasui tried every means to deal with Gu Xizhi in order to win back Lu Yunzheng.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou placed her fan on the couch and sneered, "Mother Lin, do you think Lu Yunzheng is a treasure too?"

"Back then, the marriage between the two families was arranged by the general who shamelessly went to the Shen family to ask for it. Miss Shen is the daughter of a general and has a noble status. How could she have to marry Lu Yunzheng?"

"And she's so smart..."

Mother Lin was listening attentively when Aunt Zhou suddenly stopped talking, which made her feel itchy inside.

She has been serving her aunt for twenty years and has truly followed a smart and worry-free master.

If there is anything bad about it, it is that the aunt is too smart, which makes her look particularly stupid and she can never guess what the aunt is thinking.

Aunt Zhou seemed unwilling to say anything more. She just turned the fan in her hand, lowered her eyes and smiled faintly.

"She really thinks highly of me. She seems to know me very well."

"Well, my opponent's opponent is my helper. I'm just worried about my lack of strength..."

----

Baiji hurried back to the general's mansion and went straight to Chunhua Courtyard. Shen Jiasui had been waiting there for a long time.

"What about the letter?"

Shen Jiasui smiled and reached out his hand towards Baiji.

Baiji was shocked when he heard this, and finally came to his senses at this moment.

"Miss, you wrote a harmless letter to Aunt Zhou just to give her a reason to write back?"

As Baiji spoke, he had already presented the letter in his arms with both hands.

Shen Jiasui smiled and nodded, then opened the letter and started reading.

Seeing that Shen Jiasui was not avoiding him, Baiji moved his head over curiously.

This is shocking. Aunt Zhou’s reply is not simple at all!

It clearly stated Mrs. Lu's plan, even including the whereabouts of Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi for today and tomorrow.

Baiji couldn't help but widen his eyes and stammered, "Miss, this, this, this..."

Shen Jiasui folded the letter in his hand and a smile appeared on his lips.

She had said long ago that Aunt Zhou was a rare smart person.

Everyone else thought that she still had feelings for Lu Yunzheng and hated Gu Xizhi for taking Lu Yunzheng away, but someone as clear-headed as Aunt Zhou would look beyond the emotional connection and see her true intentions.

In the previous life, General Lu died in the battlefield. When the news was reported back to the Lu Mansion, Mrs. Lu cried heart-wrenchingly, and Aunt Zhou also couldn't stop shedding tears.

But that night, she ran into Aunt Zhou packing her belongings.

She didn't call anyone because she knew that once General Lu died, Mrs. Lu would not tolerate Concubine Zhou.

However, Aunt Zhou was so calm and composed that she couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Zhou, what do you think of General Lu..."

After all, General Lu has been giving Aunt Zhou enough love and respect for twenty years.

Aunt Zhou tidied up the loose hair on her temples, and at that moment her smile was mixed with tears.

"Young Madam, the General has given me the foundation of my life and a place to stay. I respect and love the General, but I love myself even more, and I love the two children we have together."

"Now that he's gone, I will still live well, and I will always think of him..."

Thinking about it now, Aunt Zhou's words still made her feel emotional.

Let's get back to the point. Since she showed no mercy to Madam Lu today, Aunt Zhou would naturally see that she was completely at odds with Lu Yunzheng and his mother.

Whether she was seeking revenge or venting her anger, for Aunt Zhou, the enemy of her enemy was her friend.

Aunt Zhou is very favored in the Lu Mansion. She has her own manpower and sources of information. If we form an alliance with Aunt Zhou, it will naturally be twice as easy to deal with Lu Yunzheng.

After all, as the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Yunzheng will have to return to the Lu Mansion one day.

Shen Jiasui was still immersed in his own thoughts when Bai Ji asked cautiously:

"Miss, now that we know Madam Lu's plan, what should we do now?"

Shen Jiasui came back to his senses, tapped the letter lightly with his fingertips, and then raised his lips and asked:

"Baiji, do you still remember where Lu Yunzheng worked?"

Bai Ji nodded immediately, "I remember, it's the East City Command Office within the Five Cities Military Command!"

Shen Jiasui smiled and nodded at Baiji, then said, "Didn't Father say yesterday that half of the guards in the front yard would be allocated to me for deployment?"

"Go and tell them what I'm saying. Send out two groups of people. One group will keep a close eye on the Lu Residence, and the other group will wait at the Military Command Headquarters in East City."

"Once Madam Lu leaves, just send our people to the Command Center to report to Lu Yunzheng that Gu Xizhi is in danger."

"Remember... pick someone with a louder voice."

Shen Jiasui thought about it and added meaningfully.

Mrs. Lu would definitely capture Gu Xizhi while Lu Yunzheng was still on duty. She wanted to let everyone in the command center know that Lu Yunzheng not only left his post for Gu Xizhi, but also had a complete falling out with his family.

Baiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to make a small suggestion:

"Miss, we have to choose one more person to follow Madam Lu to listen outside the courtyard rented by Lu Yunzheng, otherwise we will miss a good show!"

When Shen Jiasui heard this, the smile on his face widened a little.

"Okay, I'll do as you say. Go ahead."

Baiji cheered and walked out quickly.

Shen Jiasui leaned back in his chair, his brows slightly curved, but the smile soon faded.

Don't rush, take it one step at a time.

She wanted to make Lu Yunzheng lose power slowly, then become angry and desperate, and force him to take the risk of going to the person behind the scenes in advance to seek cooperation.

She waited to unmask the man!
