Happy Spring Every Year

"By the way, when you tell the Second Young Lady about this, remember to be gentle and don't scare her."

Ji Wan thought about it and added worriedly.

Gu Xizhi has been called the Second Miss in the mansion over the years.

Bai Shuang was the head maidservant beside Ji Wan. She was naturally considerate and left as soon as she was told.

At this time, while his parents were still scolding Lu Yunzheng, Shen Jiasui quickly walked to Baiji, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.

Baiji widened his eyes upon hearing this and looked at his young lady in shock.

Shen Jiasui held Baiji's hand tightly and nodded solemnly.

Baiji has followed Shen Jiasui since childhood. He is courageous and his loyalty is unquestionable.

Seeing that the young lady had suffered a great humiliation today, Baiji was worried that she could not help her solve her problems. Although she did not understand the young lady's intention at this time, she nodded firmly and turned to leave Yong'an Hall.

When Shen Jiasui came back, he saw his mother looking at him with concern, so he forced a smile and said softly:

"Mom, I'm still worried about Xizhi, so I'll ask Baiji to go with me and comfort her."

Seeing that Shen Jiasui had suffered a great injustice, but still did not forget to protect Gu Xizhi, and such a good daughter was let down, Ji Wan's eyes immediately reddened and she said softly:

"Don't worry, Suisui, there are plenty of good men in the world. Let's keep looking. If Suisui doesn't want to find one, your parents will support you for the rest of your life!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui immediately leaned on Ji Wan's shoulder, his nose aching unbearably.

"Dad and Mom, your daughter will stay by your side forever."

"Good good."

Ji Wan gently stroked Shen Jiasui's back, and there was a hint of moisture in her voice.

On this side, Lu Yunzheng knew that Gu Xizhi was coming, and his heart was already flying away.

In his previous life, he returned triumphantly from the border, clearing away all obstacles between him and Xizhi. He thought he could finally be with Xizhi forever.

But no matter how much she planned, she never expected that her mother could not trap Shen Jiasui at all, and she actually let her follow her to the Jingxi Villa.

At that time, Xizhi watched herself die in front of her, and she didn't know how to feel grief and fear...

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng's longing and pity for Gu Xizhi reached its peak.

His eyes were fixed on the entrance to the yard, refusing to move away even a little.

Half a minute later, a slender figure finally appeared in everyone's sight.

The person who came had a pretty face, with slightly furrowed brows, as if she was a little sad. When she looked up at this side, her long eyelashes flickered, and her eyes were clear and innocent, which was very lovable.

The only person following her was Bai Shuang.

At this moment, everyone had no time to care about why Baiji, who was sent by Shen Jiasui, did not come with them, because Gu Xizhi's eyes were red and she walked hurriedly, looking even more pitiful.

"Xizhi!"

Lu Yunzheng couldn't help himself and shouted loudly from afar. This shout was full of affection, which made Gu Xizhi look at him suddenly.

When their eyes met, there seemed to be some unspeakable emotion surging, but Gu Xizhi quickly looked away.

On the other side, Shen Jiasui stared at Gu Xizhi closely, unwilling to miss the slightest change in her facial expression. After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Xizhi didn't seem to be reborn.

Don’t worry, wait and see.

At this time, Gu Xizhi had already walked to Shen Jiasui's side. With tears in her eyes, she held Shen Jiasui's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice:

"Sui Sui, you've been wronged."

Even if he were to live his life over again, Shen Jiasui still had to admire Gu Xizhi's acting skills.

In his previous life, Lu Yunzheng did not dare to break off the engagement due to many concerns. This time, he finally plucked up the courage to propose to Gu Xizhi directly. With such passionate love, I'm afraid Gu Xizhi must be overjoyed at this moment.

Isn't it just acting?

Shen Jiasui shook his head. "Xizhi, I'm fine. It's a blessing to be able to see a person clearly before getting married."

"It's just Xizhi. Lu Yunzheng keeps saying he's in love with you, but I know you've never been nice to him, and you're not the kind of person who would be punished by lightning for betraying your sisters."

"Hurry up and explain everything to him, and then Mom and Dad will have him beaten out with sticks. From now on, we will have nothing to do with him anymore, and there's no need to see him again!"

When Gu Xizhi heard Shen Jiasui gritting his teeth and saying, "Those who betray their sisters will be struck by lightning," her eyelids twitched slightly.

No connection anymore, no need to meet each other?

How is that possible? She wants to stay with Yun Zheng forever.

Gu Xizhi frowned and did not respond immediately.

Shen Jiasui couldn't help but get anxious when he saw this. "Xizhi, what's wrong with you? Could it be... could it be that you also..."

"Sui Sui, don't worry. I'm afraid Xizhi is a little scared."

Ji Wan stepped forward at the right time, gently patted Gu Xizhi's shoulder, and then said in a gentle voice:

"Xizhi, don't be afraid. Your godfather and godmother will support you. Just reject him and we won't see him again."

Shen Zhengsheng standing by also nodded encouragingly.

When Shen Jiasui saw his mother speaking for Gu Xizhi, he sighed almost imperceptibly, but he also knew that impatient people cannot eat hot tofu.

Dad and Mom trust Gu Xizhi too much, and their desire to protect her is self-evident. Wasn’t she the same in her previous life?

However, this time she has solid evidence!

Gu Xizhi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Lu Yunzheng not far away. When their eyes met, they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

The next moment, Gu Xizhi suddenly started coughing rapidly, as if she was overwhelmed with guilt, covering her mouth and sobbing softly:

"It's all my fault. My godfather and godmother were so kind to take me in, and Suisui treated me like a sister, but I...I got into this trouble."

"Xizhi, this is not your fault!"

Ji Wan hurried forward and hugged Gu Xizhi, who was trembling with tears, into her arms.

But Gu Xizhi seemed to be very self-blaming, crying and gasping for breath, as if she was about to faint at the next moment.

She had been weak since childhood, and her mood had always fluctuated greatly, so she had this kind of situation. That was why Ji Wan was so careful when she asked Bai Shuang to invite her just now.

"Xizhi! Xizhi!"

Ji Wan was extremely worried and frightened, so she asked Bai Shuang to call the palace doctor immediately.

Shen Zhengsheng saw that his family was in chaos because of Lu Yunzheng, and his two daughters were upset, so they wanted to chase him away.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Xizhi raised her head from Ji Wan's arms with sobs, and said something shocking:

"Godfather, godmother, Xizhi is willing to marry!"

When Shen Jiasui heard this, he raised his lips coldly from behind, but Shen Zhengsheng and Ji Wan were stunned.

"Xizhi, what did you say?"

Gu Xizhi breathed a sigh of relief, then spoke with a sympathetic voice, tears streaming down her face: "Godfather, Godmother, Xizhi can't be so selfish. Right now, the border is in turmoil, and Godfather has lost an arm. If a war breaks out, the royal family will still rely on General Lu."

"Since General Lu has always wanted to marry her, and Master Lu is so persistent, let Xizhi marry him. This will not only preserve the friendship between the two families, but also avoid embarrassing Godfather and General Lu."

"Godfather and Godmother have raised me over the years, and Xizhi feels she has no way to repay them. By doing this, Xizhi can live the rest of her life in peace, without regrets or complaints."

Having said this, Gu Xizhi closed her eyes slightly, tears streaming down her face.

When Lu Yunzheng in front heard this, the pity and admiration in his heart almost overflowed.

As expected, Xizhi was smart and acted more carefully than him. Even he was moved by her words.

Seeing how Gu Xizhi was so concerned about the overall situation, even if she had to swallow all kinds of grievances to consider the Shen family, Shen Zhengsheng and his wife felt even more pity and love for her, and said in unison:

"No!"

Ji Wan raised her brows and said in a cold voice, "Xizhi, General Lu used to be your godfather's subordinate. If he were here now, he would definitely not let Lu Yunzheng act so recklessly."

"If he dares to protect Lu Yunzheng and break the contract, our Shen family is not afraid of him at all!"

"Don't worry, Xizhi. You and Suisui don't have to get married. Godmother will never let you suffer any injustice!"

Gu Xizhi shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, clutching Ji Wan's hand tightly, crying:

"Godmother, no, Xizhi absolutely does not want to see the two families become enemies. If General Lu and Master Lu become separated because of this, Xizhi cannot bear it either."

"Let Xizhi marry him, and let this dispute end with Xizhi alone!"

Shen Jiasui watched as Gu Xizhi used her eloquence to manipulate his parents' hearts step by step. He couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought that such a person who was good at disguising herself was with them day and night.

She couldn't help but wonder whether the evidence of the Shen family's crimes presented by Lu Yunzheng in the previous life was also the work of Gu Xizhi?

After all, she knew Daddy very well, but Daddy was completely defenseless against her!

Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui turned his head anxiously and looked outside the yard.

Just at this moment, Baiji came hurriedly over here holding a box.

Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up.

finally come!
