Happy Spring Every Year

Mrs. Lu felt a dull pain in her heart and it would be a lie to say that she was not disappointed.

But Lu Yunzheng was her flesh and blood after all. Even if he was stubborn and unrepentant at this moment, as his mother, she could not abandon him.

Since soft tactics don’t work, let’s use hard tactics!

Thinking of this, Madam Lu leaned over, grabbed Lu Yunzheng's collar, and said coldly:

"Zheng'er, come back with me. It doesn't matter if you don't understand my painstaking efforts now. You will understand in the future."

Gu Xizhi didn't say a word, but her whole body was trembling. She clenched Lu Yunzheng's clothes with both hands, silently asking him to stay.

Lu Yunzheng was half-kneeling on the ground, with his beloved woman in his arms and his beloved mother behind him. For a moment, he felt extremely painful.

Gu Xizhi is ultimately more skilled.

She suddenly let go of his hand, looked at Lu Yunzheng with tearful eyes and said tenderly:

"Yun Zheng, go back. Perhaps it's fate that we are not meant to be together. In the next life... if we can meet again in the next life, I hope we can be a perfect match and there will be no more obstacles."

Even Gu Xizhi herself didn't know that her words "next life" just hit the softest part of Lu Yunzheng's heart.

Because for him, this is already the next life...

At the same time, this sentence also reminded Lu Yunzheng, and he thought of a way to persuade his mother.

He gently released Gu Xizhi and soothed her softly, "Xizhi, don't be afraid. Wait here for me. I have a way to convince mother."

When Gu Xizhi saw Lu Yunzheng let her go, her heart tightened, but she had to force a smile and nodded slightly, pretending that she trusted Lu Yunzheng wholeheartedly.

Only then did Lu Yunzheng raise his head and look at his mother.

"Mom, I have something to tell you."

Mrs. Lu thought Lu Yunzheng had finally come to her senses, and immediately responded eagerly, "Zheng'er, as long as you are willing to go back with your mother, you can say whatever you want."

Lu Yunzheng did not give a direct answer, but looked at Mother Zhao beside him.

"Mother Zhao, please take good care of Xizhi. I want to talk to my mother alone. If I find out that you hurt Xizhi, I will never forgive you!"

Mother Zhao felt a chill in her heart when she heard this.

She was an elder by the Madam's side, and she had raised the young master in her arms. She never expected that today, she would be warned so mercilessly by the young master.

But Mother Zhao kept her status upright. Although she felt that people were cold-hearted, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Lu.

Only after Mrs. Lu nodded did Mother Zhao respectfully say yes.

Lu Yunzheng gave Gu Xizhi a soothing look, and then took Mrs. Lu to his bedroom in this villa.

Nothing happened between him and Gu Xizhi last night.

This was Gu Xizhi's intention, and he was willing to respect Gu Xizhi and wait until the two of them got married to perform the Zhougong ceremony.

"Zheng'er, what do you want to say to mother?"

Mrs. Lu frowned slightly, but she naturally gave her son enough patience and opportunities.

Lu Yunzheng looked around, his face gradually becoming solemn, and then he asked in a deep voice:

"Mother, do you believe me?"

Mrs. Lu nodded without hesitation, "Mother naturally believes you."

Lu Yunzheng slowly exhaled, then lowered his voice and said, "Mother, I've actually... lived a new life."

Mrs. Lu slowly opened her eyes.

......

Lu Yunzheng roughly recounted his experiences in his previous life, but some details were so important that he didn't dare tell Mrs. Lu for fear of ruining his plan.

After he finished speaking in one breath, he looked at Mrs. Lu expectantly.

He thought, Mother should finally accept Xizhi now, right? You know, in her previous life, Mother was most satisfied with Xizhi.

Who knows the next moment——

"Snapped!"

Mrs. Lu's face turned pale and she raised her hand to slap Lu Yunzheng!

Lu Yunzheng was caught off guard and fell to the side.

When he turned around with his hands covering his face in disbelief, he saw Mrs. Lu with tears in her eyes, pointing at him with trembling hands.

"You...how could you become like this!?"

"To be with Gu Xizhi, not only did you lie so blatantly without blinking, you even cursed your father to die on the battlefield!"

"Even if your father favors Zhou Fu and your half-brother, even if I resent and annoy him, he is a hero of the Sheng Dynasty. I only hope that he lives a long life, free from illness and disaster, and that he can focus on defending his country!"

"Lu Yunzheng, ah Lu Yunzheng, you disappoint me so much. Are you still my Zheng'er?"

As Mrs. Lu shouted angrily, tears kept rolling down her cheeks.

What exactly...what went wrong? How could her son, whom she was so proud of, become like this!

Gu Xizhi, it must be Gu Xizhi’s fault!

That bitch!

Mrs. Lu felt a pain in her heart and her whole body was cold. She asked herself again and again, and finally, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw, she blamed all the faults on Gu Xizhi.

She was unwilling to admit that her son was so terrible inside.

Thinking of this, she grabbed Lu Yunzheng's sleeve and said almost pleadingly:

"Zheng'er, come home with your mother, back to the general's mansion. As long as you admit your mistakes, your father will definitely forgive you."

"And Shen Jiasui, mother went to see her. She cried bitterly because you broke off the engagement. She loves you deeply and is willing to marry you as long as you say some soft words."

"If Gu Xizhi doesn't want to make things difficult for her, just send her away first. After you marry Shen Jiasui and everything is settled, you can take her back and make her your concubine. I won't ask any questions. Okay?"

Lu Yunzheng lowered his eyes and looked at Mrs. Lu. Hearing that every word she said was still about Shen Jiasui and she was unwilling to fulfill his wish, his heart sank.

He told his mother all his biggest secrets, but his mother didn't believe him at all.

In this world, besides Xizhi, even his mother doesn't understand him...

Lu Yunzheng's expression gradually turned cold, and he slowly pulled his sleeve back from Mrs. Lu's hand.

He shook his head, his voice cold and disappointing.

"Mom, I didn't lie, but you don't believe me at all."

"I'll tell you one last time, I won't marry unless I'm Xizhi. And, I'll definitely make it big and prove it to you and Dad!"

After saying this, Lu Yunzheng walked around Mrs. Lu who was standing there in a daze and left quickly without any reluctance.

He had already opened the door, but at this moment, Mrs. Lu suddenly shouted sharply:

"Son, don't you even care about your mother's life?"

Lu Yunzheng's face changed drastically. He turned around suddenly and saw Mrs. Lu supporting the corner of the table with one hand and holding a hairpin in the other.

The tip of the hairpin was now pointing at Mrs. Lu's neck.

She really used a lot of force, and the place where the tip of the hairpin pressed against it was sunken and turned white.

Lu Yunzheng's face turned pale in an instant. At this moment, he felt a sense of powerlessness rising into his heart, making him extremely tired.

"Mom, why are you doing this? You know very well that I can't bear to see you get hurt."

Mrs. Lu felt weak all over, tears streaming down her face. She sobbed, "Zheng'er, I'm doing this for your own good. Even after all this, you still don't want to go back with me?"

Lu Yunzheng was in great pain and confusion, but as the one who was favored, he was ultimately fearless.

He looked at Mrs. Lu deeply, left a few words, and turned away.

He said, "Mom, if you die, I will follow you."

Seeing Lu Yunzheng striding out, Mrs. Lu screamed and immediately exerted force on her hands, and a sharp pain spread across her neck.

She's still gambling.

But Lu Yunzheng never looked back, nor did he stop.

jingle——

The hairpin fell to the ground.

Mrs. Lu slumped at the foot of the table, her eyes empty and her heart dead.
