Happy Spring Every Year

At the beginning of the afternoon at the time of Shen, at General Zhaoyong’s mansion.

Mrs. Lu was lying on her back on the couch, and a maid was carefully massaging her head.

Mother Zhao clutched a note in her hand and hurried into the main house, saying, "Madam, I found it!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu suddenly opened her eyes, pushed the maid away, and sat up.

"Where?"

When asking this question, Mrs. Lu's face was full of sternness.

Mother Zhao quickly unfolded the note, and it was clearly written on it: Ronghua Lane, West Beijing.

Madam Lu sneered, “Let’s go!”

The maid hurried forward and helped Mrs. Lu put on her outer gown.

Seeing this, Madam Zhao advised: "Madam, she is just a cheap girl without a father or a mother, and she has severed her ties with the Shen family. It is enough for me to go there. Why bother making this trip?"

"You didn't sleep a wink last night. Take some rest. I promise to do everything perfectly."

When Mrs. Lu saw Mother Zhao nagging her, the stern look on her face slowly faded away, and she couldn't help but sigh.

"Mother Zhao, even you know you care about me. Look at Zheng'er, he's really obsessed with that girl named Gu."

"From childhood to adulthood, I've poured all my heart and soul into him, and I've always had to be on guard against Zhou Fu's hidden attacks. Just when I was about to get through this, he's so clueless."

"I have to do this myself. I have to get Zheng'er to come back and admit his mistake to her husband tonight. I'll go to the Shen family to make amends tomorrow. There's still time."

While they were talking, Mrs. Lu had already dressed.

She had made up her mind, and she boarded the carriage and left the house with Mother Zhao and the four maids who had signed death contracts.

Aunt Zhou got the news immediately, and Mother Lin was so anxious that she couldn't sit still.

"Auntie, if Madam really succeeds this time, the marriage between the Young Master and the Shen family might even be possible. Shouldn't we... stop it?"

Aunt Zhou looked calm as she stuffed a small porcelain bottle into Mother Lin's hands and said softly:

"Mother Lin, please take this plaster to the Imperial College and look after Sheng'er for me. Tell him not to get involved in anything and just focus on his studies."

Mother Lin: “Huh?”

"Go quickly."

Aunt Zhou urged.

Mother Lin clenched the ointment, looking confused, but still convinced by her aunt, she nodded and went out.

When no one was around, Aunt Zhou sighed softly and said to herself:

"Miss Shen is truly capable. I didn't expect that she would still get the upper hand in this deal..."

Even Mother Lin is clamoring to take action. Once something happens to Lu Yunzheng, when they come to their senses, won’t she be the first person they suspect?

It was clearly Miss Shen who did it, but she tried to clear herself of all responsibility.

Aunt Zhou shook her head helplessly, but soon a light flashed in her beautiful eyes again.

If Miss Shen had not taken action today, she would not have stood idly by. In this way, it would not be unfair.

Taking the blame once in exchange for a smart "accomplice" hiding in the dark is worth it.

After all, all she can rely on are some tricks in the harem. She just hopes that Miss Shen won't let her down in the future...

----

When the carriage drove out of General Zhaoyong's mansion, the people waiting outside the mansion were suddenly dazzled.

"Third brother, you follow me. Sixth brother, go to the command center and pass on the message. I will go back and report to the young lady."

"Yes!"

----

East City Military Command.

Unlike most children of high-ranking officials in Beijing who chose to enter the Imperial College, Lu Yunzheng, as the son of General Zhaoyong and with a talent for martial arts, entered the Five Cities Military Department for training at an early age.

Now he is a deputy commander of the East City Military Command.

Yesterday, the controversy over the Shen and Lu families breaking off their engagement caused a lot of controversy. Today, when Lu Yunzheng was on duty, he was surrounded by his colleagues and subordinates and was questioned non-stop.

Lu Yunzheng was a clear-headed man. He knew that if he wanted to rise to the top in the future, he had to have a firm foothold on the Command Department as a springboard, so he avoided talking about his personal matters.

Seeing that he never said a bad word about Miss Shen, everyone tacitly accepted the accusation of being treacherous. Instead, they kept praising him for being not only a romantic but also a man of character.

After all, General Dingguo is deeply favored by God and has a great reputation. If Lu Yunzheng becomes his son-in-law, the Shen and Lu families will join forces, and his future will be even brighter.

He really gave up a lot for the adopted daughter of the Shen family.

Lu Yunzheng was very pleased with the praise from everyone. Thinking that he would make a contribution while on duty soon and catch that person's eye, he became more and more confident.

You see, even without the Shen family, he can still rise to prominence. By then, his father will regret his decision yesterday and call him back home in a nice tone.

In this way, he can marry Xizhi openly and honestly...

Whenever Lu Yunzheng thought about Gu Xizhi waiting for him in the villa after his shift, he felt warm in his heart and full of energy.

"Stop chatting and go patrol the city."

Lu Yunzheng urged everyone to disperse, with a righteous look on his face, and reminded them to perform their duties conscientiously.

The subordinates nodded repeatedly and flattered Lu Yunzheng again, but when they turned around, their faces gloomy.

Many of them are over thirty years old. They have worked hard and diligently all their lives, and at best they can only become a city patrol captain.

But before Lu Yunzheng reached the age of twenty, he had already become their deputy commander because of his family background. Moreover, this position was just a starting point for Lu Yunzheng.

Everyone was already resentful, and Lu Yunzheng's regret of the engagement made them feel even more ashamed.

Love species?

Pooh!

It's clear that he is fickle and treacherous!

Everyone exchanged glances secretly, and as they were leaving the command center, they suddenly saw a man running towards them with a panicked look on his face.

The patrol captain, who was in charge of East City's security, thought something had happened and immediately stepped forward, asking quickly, "Why are you looking for the Command Headquarters?"

The person who came in was already shouting, "I'm looking for Young Master Lu, Deputy Commander Lu! Madam Lu is causing trouble for Miss Gu, and Miss Gu is in danger!"

This guy has a really loud voice, and his pronunciation is clear and distinct, so everyone can hear him clearly.

The patrol captains were shocked when they heard this and turned around to see Lu Yunzheng with a dark face, almost running out.

"What did you say!?"

Lu Yunzheng immediately grabbed the collar of the person who sent the message and asked through gritted teeth.

The man looked frightened, his legs immediately weakened, and he stammered, "It's... Miss Gu who sent me here for help. Madam Lu is very aggressive and has brought many maids with her. Miss Gu is afraid that..."

"hateful!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzheng threw the man aside, snatched the horse led by a captain, and jumped on the horse in an instant.

The captain's expression changed when he saw this, and he kindly said, "Deputy Commander, if you wish to leave temporarily, you must inform the Commander, otherwise it will be considered as desertion without leave!"

Don't forget, you just gave us a righteous instruction to fulfill our duties...

Of course, the captain didn't dare to say this out loud.

However, Lu Yunzheng frowned at this time, and his mind was full of Gu Xizhi's weak and helpless appearance.

Whenever Lu Yunzheng thought about how his mother would make things difficult for Gu Xizhi in order to force him to compromise, he became extremely anxious and confused.

"Tell the commander for me!"

Lu Yunzheng threw down these words and galloped out on his horse.
