Happy Spring Every Year

Ning Fengzhi lifted her skirt and came to the front of the villa with a fierce look on her face. Just as she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door, she suddenly found that the door was ajar, leaving a gap.

She changed her mind and immediately slowed down her pace, gently pushed open the gate, and walked in quietly.

"Mr. Ning, thank you. If it weren't for you today, Xizhi really doesn't know what to do."

A soft voice came from inside the house, it was Gu Xizhi.

Then, a gentle male voice sounded, "Miss Gu, please don't be polite. Since I have been asked to do so, I will take good care of you."

After a moment of silence, Gu Xizhi said worriedly, "Sister Fengzhi is probably angry with me, and since Master Ning sent me home first, I'm afraid Fengzhi is even more..."

Ning Fengyu immediately took over the conversation and said comfortingly, "Fengzhi was just too naive. She was fooled by Shen Jiasui in a few words, and now she blames you."

"It's okay. I'll explain it to Fengzhi for you later."

When Ning Fengzhi heard this, her face flushed red and she gnashed her teeth. Just as she was about to speak, Gu Xizhi's voice came again:

"Master Ning, don't blame Sister Fengzhi. In fact, in some places...Xizhi was exaggerating."

"You also know that Xizhi is just an orphan. After the Shen family kicked me out, I was worried and scared. Apart from Yun Zheng, Xizhi has no other friends."

"Shen Jiasui hated me for taking away the favor of my godfather and godmother. He was always cold and mean to me, beating and scolding me. Fengzhi was so gentle, and I just wanted to keep her."

"I'm sorry, I'm so mean, but I just want a friend..."

Gu Xizhi cried continuously, and every word she said was full of repentance.

"Miss Gu, please don't be like this. Your crying makes my heart hurt—"

When Ning Fengzhi heard this, she was so frightened that her eyes widened. She dared not remain silent any longer, and quickly ran forward and pushed open the door.

boom!

Inside the house, Ning Fengyu and Gu Xizhi were startled and turned their heads to look.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes were red and his whole body was trembling. He pointed at the two of them and was speechless for a long time.

Gu Xizhi was seen sitting at the table, her face tearful, and Ning Fengyu bent down and put his hands on Gu Xizhi's shoulders.

How can such an intimate act be called innocent?

"Toyoda! Sister!"

Ning Fengyu and Gu Xizhi didn't expect Ning Fengzhi to come so quickly, and they were both stunned.

But they both reacted quickly, one turned away and the other turned back.

"You... you..."

Ning Fengzhi's thin lips trembled. She was clearly furious, but at this moment she couldn't help but shed tears.

Ning Fengyu saw his sister crying, and immediately panicked and distressed. He immediately stepped forward and said softly:

"Sister, it's not what you think. Miss Gu is sad and upset, and I was just trying to comfort her. I was thinking of going to the Prince's Mansion to pick you up right away."

When Ning Fengzhi heard this, he looked up and glared at his brother, saying coldly, "But you didn't come!"

Ning Fengyu couldn't help but feel puzzled, "Doesn't the banquet end at 3:30 pm? I clearly calculated the time."

When Ning Fengzhi heard this, his mouth drooped and he felt even more aggrieved:

"The party ended early, and everyone left in pairs, leaving me all alone. Because of Gu Xizhi, they all stopped playing with me and laughed at me!"

At this point, Ning Fengzhi remembered the purpose of his trip and immediately glared at Gu Xizhi.

"It's all your fault! You're so smooth-talking and full of lies, you deceived me! I trusted you so much, but you took advantage of me, and now I've become everyone's laughing stock!"

Gu Xizhi's face turned pale when she heard this. She opened her mouth, but tears rolled down her face first.

"I'm sorry, Toyoda."

Ning Fengzhi sneered, his tone becoming increasingly sharp.

"What's the point of you apologizing now? If you had the guts, why did you just pretend to faint and get away, leaving me alone to deal with it?"

"If you really feel you've let me down, come with me now and explain things to everyone!"

As Ning Fengzhi spoke, he really stepped forward to pull Gu Xizhi.

Ning Fengyu saw this and immediately took Ning Fengzhi by the side, frowning and saying, "Sister, what are you doing?"

"Miss Gu just told me that she was wrong, but she just wanted to be on good terms with you. Now that she's apologized, why don't you forgive her?"

Ning Fengzhi was furious when she heard her brother's words were all in favor of Gu Xizhi. She shouted angrily:

"Should you forgive others when you can? If I forgive her, who will forgive me? Brother, do you know how much ridicule I have endured today?"

"Now all the young ladies in the capital know about Gu Xizhi's character. She had an affair without a matchmaker and secretly gave things away. This is a moral corruption!"

"Besides, she is also a fickle woman. Having Brother Yun Zheng is not enough, and now she is trying to seduce me—"

"presumptuous!"

Ning Fengyu's face flushed red and he raised his right hand towards Ning Fengzhi in anger.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened upon seeing this, and he said in disbelief, "Brother, you want to hit me? You're actually going to hit me for Gu Xizhi?"

When Ning Fengyu saw Ning Fengzhi's tearful eyes, his heart softened and he put down his hand in annoyance.

"Sister, how could I bear to hit you, but you are being too unreasonable. After the banquet, everyone has gone home. Where are you going to take Miss Gu?"

Ning Fengzhi's heart was filled with sorrow and coldness at the moment. She cried, "I don't mind going anywhere, even if it means explaining to each family one by one. I just want everyone to know that I was deceived by Gu Xizhi!"

Ning Fengzhi refused to give in and tried to pull Gu Xizhi again.

Gu Xizhi was caught off guard and was pulled by Ning Fengzhi, causing her to stagger and almost fall.

But she never resisted, she just shook her head with tears in her eyes and said with a guilty look:

"Fengzhi, go slowly. I'll go with you. I'll go with you right now. As long as it makes you feel better, even if you ask me to go to General Dingguo's mansion to apologize to Shen Jiasui, I'll go."

Ning Fengzhi was so angry that she almost laughed when she saw Gu Xizhi being so hypocritical.

I am so stupid. Before today, I thought Gu Xizhi was gentle and kind, and that she was weak and beautiful.

"You're still pretending! It was you who slandered Shen Jiasui and stole her fiancé first! Gu Xizhi, do you really dare to go to General Dingguo's mansion to see her?"

The two of them were pulling and tugging at each other, and the room suddenly became a mess.

Ning Fengyu could no longer bear to see his sister being so unreasonable. He brushed Ning Fengzhi's hand away, steadied the staggering Gu Xizhi, and shouted coldly:

"Sister, that's enough! How long are you going to keep being unreasonable?"

Ning Fengzhi lost his balance and took several steps back until his heel touched the threshold and he was able to stand still.

She suddenly raised her head and saw that her brother pushed her away, but held Gu Xizhi and whispered comforting words. In an instant, she felt like the sky had fallen.

At this time, Ning Fengyu also noticed Ning Fengzhi's dazed and disappointed look. His heart ached and he hurried forward to comfort her.

But Ning Fengzhi seemed to be greatly stimulated, with a sarcastic smile on her lips and tears streaming down her face.

"Brother, are you still Fengzhi's brother? You actually pushed me today for a girl you've only known for a few days!"

Ning Fengyu panicked when he heard this, let go of Gu Xizhi and walked forward, explaining quickly: "Sister, brother is not--"

"No? No what?"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly started crying again, crying with a feeling of grievance and unable to control herself.

"You're attracted to Gu Xizhi, aren't you? You two are alone in the same room at Zhenxia Pavilion today, and you think I haven't figured it out yet?"

"Don't bully your friend's wife. Don't you understand this principle, brother?"

"And Gu Xizhi, and you! You've clearly snatched away Shen Jiasui's brother Yun Zheng, so why are you fawning over my brother and pretending to be weak?"

"You're fickle, disgusting, and hypocritical. What did I say wrong?"

"Ning Fengyu, I'm telling you, I won't forgive you. I'm going home right now and telling my parents what happened today!"

Ning Fengzhi raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears, feeling a mixture of anger and disappointment in her heart. She couldn't stay in this villa for a moment longer.

She turned around suddenly, took a step, and suddenly stopped.

Because she saw Lu Yunzheng at the gate of the courtyard, with a gloomy face and a cold expression, walking towards her step by step.
