Happy Spring Every Year

When Mother Zhao hurried over, she saw Mrs. Lu looking miserable and desperate.

She was very sharp-eyed and caught a glimpse of the blood on Madam Lu's neck. She immediately cried out in a trembling voice, "Madam! Madam!"

It took Mrs. Lu a long time to come back to her senses. When she met Mother Zhao's distressed gaze, Mrs. Lu felt her heart ache and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Human hearts are made of flesh.

She and Mother Zhao were just master and servant, but after more than 20 years of living together, Mother Zhao was loyal to her, protecting and respecting her.

Zheng'er was her own son, yet he stabbed her so mercilessly!

Mother Zhao quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Madam Lu's tears, and asked worriedly, "Madam, what are we doing now..."

Mrs. Lu shook her head, and with the help of Mother Zhao, she stood up and murmured, "Go back, go back..."

Mother Zhao was shocked when she heard this, knowing that the lady had been deeply hurt by the eldest young master this time.

Mrs. Lu staggered slightly as she walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

She actually still had a last glimmer of hope in her heart, but until she walked out of the villa, Lu Yunzheng never came out to see her.

Mrs. Lu finally gave up and, supported by Mother Zhao, walked out of the alley without looking back, got on the carriage, and left this sad place.

Behind the window, Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi watched Mrs. Lu's departing back through the gap.

Gu Xizhi frowned slightly. If Madam Lu was really convinced, she shouldn't look like this.

Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

For some reason, after his rebirth, apart from successfully bringing Xizhi out of General Dingguo's mansion, everything else went wrong, making him feel exhausted.

Gu Xizhi observed his expression and immediately said in a soft voice:

"Yun Zheng, there are no parents in the world who are not good. Although Madam was very tough today, I know that she has your best interests at heart."

"Don't be angry with Madam. Find a time to talk to Madam properly in a few days. Madam will definitely forgive you."

Lu Yunzheng retracted his gaze upon hearing this, took Gu Xizhi into his arms, and sighed helplessly:

"Xizhi, Xizhi, what do you think I should do to make others see your good qualities?"

As he spoke, Lu Yunzheng gently stroked Gu Xizhi's flushed cheek and asked, "Does it hurt?"

Gu Xizhi shook her head and was about to smile and say it didn't hurt, but the muscles on her face moved and she hissed in pain.

Lu Yunzheng frowned, feeling distressed. "You're still trying to be brave. I'll bring back some plasters from the Command Department tonight."

At this point, Gu Xizhi suddenly came to her senses and asked hurriedly, "By the way, Yun Zheng, weren't you on duty? How did you get back so early?"

Lu Yunzheng had already thought about this matter in his mind, and immediately told the Command Department that someone had gone to ask for help.

Gu Xizhi immediately shook her head upon hearing this. Lu Yunzheng already had a plan in mind and said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the messenger must have been sent by Concubine Zhou."

"Auntie Zhou?"

Gu Xizhi was stunned at first, but then she reacted.

Lu Yunzheng had never concealed the situation in the Lu Mansion from her, so she had long known that Aunt Zhou was a major concern for Lu Yunzheng and Madam Lu.

It seems that Mrs. Lu was not careful enough and asked Aunt Zhou to find out the news.

Aunt Zhou was the one who was most reluctant to see Lu Yunzheng marry into the Shen family, so she tried to stop it.

Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi were thinking the same thing, but at this moment he was feeling relieved:

"Xizhi, no matter what, if Aunt Zhou hadn't intervened in time, I would have been separated from you."

Gu Xizhi also secretly felt lucky and hurriedly urged, "Yun Zheng, you should return to the command center as soon as possible. If you suddenly leave during your duty, you will be punished."

Lu Yunzheng shook his head, not really caring. After hesitating for a moment, he said mysteriously:

"Xizhi, don't worry, I won't stay in the Military Command for too long. Things will soon turn around."

Lu Yunzheng originally wanted to reveal the fact of his rebirth to comfort Gu Xizhi, but when he thought of Mrs. Lu's reaction just now, he gave up the idea.

If Xizhi didn't believe him, he wouldn't dare to think...

Soon, Lu Yunzheng came out of the villa and mounted his horse to rush to the command center.

It took at least an hour to get out this time. Mom is really...

Lu Yunzheng's thoughts raced, and while he felt resentful, he thought of Shen Jiasui, whom Mrs. Lu had mentioned many times.

According to my mother, Shen Jiasui still harbors delusions about him, and it doesn't seem like it's happening all over again.

In any case, I have to try it myself to feel at ease!

----

On the other side, after Lu Yunzheng left the villa, the Shen family guards who were hiding in the dark also rushed back immediately.

Soon, Shen Jiasui received Baiji's vivid retelling.

"Miss, when Madam Lu left the villa, she looked like she had lost her soul. There seemed to be blood on her neck!"

"I don't know what Lu Yunzheng and Madam Lu said in the room to force Madam Lu into that state."

Lu Yunzheng was a skilled martial artist, so the palace guards didn't dare to get too close to him.

When Shen Jiasui heard this, he had some guesses in his mind.

Presumably, Lu Yunzheng confessed his rebirth to Mrs. Lu.

He originally thought that this would make Mrs. Lu accept Gu Xizhi, but it was obvious that Mrs. Lu didn't believe it at all.

Look, this is backfiring.

How could a treacherous person expect others to trust him unconditionally? Especially since Lu Yunzheng had already done so many extraordinary things for Gu Xizhi.

Lu Yunzheng probably hasn't realized yet that he has hurt the person who loves him the most in this world today.

The plan was complete, but Shen Jiasui still couldn't relax.

In her previous life, she remembered that not long after Lu Yunzheng proposed to her, he was transferred from the Wucheng Bingmasi and went to the Jingwei of the Wujun Dudu Mansion to serve as a centurion, and then worked his way up.

Lu Yunzheng never told her what the opportunity for promotion was, but unfortunately she didn't have the curiosity to ask Lu Yunzheng.

Therefore, in this life, in order to stop Lu Yunzheng's "road to fame", she could only keep testing him, starting by exacerbating the dissatisfaction of the people in the Bingmasi towards Lu Yunzheng.

Shen Jiasui was lost in thought when Ji Wan suddenly came in from outside the yard with a piece of paper in her hand.

"mother?"

Shen Jiasui immediately stood up to greet him.

The mother and daughter walked hand in hand into the inner room. Ji Wan then handed the card to Shen Jiasui and said with a smile, "Suisui, open it and take a look."

Shen Jiasui couldn't help showing curiosity. He took the card and unfolded it. He lowered his eyes and glanced at it. It turned out to be an invitation to a flower viewing banquet.

Ji Wan looked at Shen Jiansui's expression calmly.

Given the status of General Dingguo's Mansion in the capital, the Mansion has always been invited to banquets hosted by dignitaries.

But because Shen Jiasui was already engaged and had no interest in these parties, she never attended any.

After all, a flower viewing banquet sounds elegant, but it actually just gives the younger generations a chance to see each other.

Seeing that Shen Jiasui showed no resistance, Ji Wan said softly:

"Sui Sui, this flower viewing banquet is being organized by Princess Rong, and it's scheduled for the first day of the new year. Heng'er happens to be home that day, so why don't you take him to see the world?"

Ji Wan said this in a tactful way. How could Shen Jiasui not understand his mother's painstaking efforts?

She turned her head and saw her mother's cautious look, her heart softened and she couldn't bear to let her down.

"Okay, I'll go take a look."

Shen Jiasui smiled and responded in a crisp voice.
