Happy Spring Every Year

"Brother Yun...Brother Yun Zheng..."

Ning Fengzhi unexpectedly saw Lu Yunzheng and was immediately at a loss.

Inside the house, Ning Fengyu and Gu Xizhi's expressions changed drastically at the same time.

They were not sure whether Lu Yunzheng had heard everything Ning Fengzhi had just said.

"Yunzheng!"

Gu Xizhi was full of uneasiness and hurriedly walked past Ning Fengzhi to meet him.

With a smile on her face, she took Lu Yunzheng's hand and said softly, "Yunzheng, it's worth it for you to fall down early today. Are you tired?"

Lu Yunzheng slowly lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Xizhi, who was leaning against him with a sweet smile. His eyes were deep and his emotions could not be seen.

Gu Xizhi's heart trembled.

If it were in the past, Lu Yunzheng would have greeted her with a smile and asked her about her well-being, but today...

He heard it, he still heard it.

Gu Xizhi hurriedly tightened Lu Yunzheng's arm and said casually, "Yunzheng, Fengzhi may have some misunderstandings about me, so she said those words in anger."

Ning Fengyu also walked forward quickly at this time, and explained with a smile: "Yes, Yun Zheng, you know Fengzhi. She is sometimes silly and likes to say nonsense."

Ning Fengzhi originally wanted to save some face for her brother and preserve the friendship between them and Lu Yunzheng.

Now, seeing that her brother and Gu Xizhi both blamed her for the fault, she immediately became furious.

Forget it, if the facts are really as Shen Jiasui said, Lu Yunzheng has already been communicating with Gu Xizhi through letters, then it seems that he has misjudged someone again.

It would be better to break up the friendship between us, so as to stop my brother from thinking about Gu Xizhi!

"I didn't say anything nonsense!"

"At that time, only you and Gu Xizhi were in the Zhenxia Pavilion. When I went up to the attic, Gu Xizhi was still timid and her cheeks were red. Who knows how she tried to fawn over you, brother?"

"Sister!" Ning Fengyu's face changed drastically when he heard that, and he shouted.

But Ning Fengzhi had already made up his mind, and no one could stop him at this moment.

"Brother, you keep speaking up for Gu Xizhi. Aren't you just falling for her honey trap?"

"Brother Yun Zheng, I won't dwell on the grudge between you and Shen Jiasui, but Gu Xizhi has been publicly broadcasting how Shen Jiasui beat and abused her. Fengzhi wants to ask you, is this all true?"

"That Shen Jiasui is as strong as an ox. I've already seen it. If she really wants to embarrass Gu Xizhi, I don't believe that Gu Xizhi, who is so weak, can remain intact!"

Ning Fengzhi spoke harshly, his eyes fixed on Lu Yunzheng.

When Ning Fengzhi saw the flash of surprise on Lu Yunzheng's face, he already knew what was going on.

What abuse and beating?

all fake!

There is not a single truth in Gu Xizhi's mouth!

"Sister, what's wrong with you today? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ning Fengyu quickly grabbed Ning Fengzhi, his brows furrowed, and he looked like he wanted to sew Ning Fengzhi's mouth shut.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened, and she was about to speak again when Lu Yunzheng suddenly said calmly:

"It's getting late, please go back."

Ning Fengyu's heart tightened, and he wanted to explain a few words, but Lu Yunzheng had already pulled Gu Xizhi to the side, and his intention to send him away was obvious.

Ning Fengzhi was eager to leave immediately, so he grabbed Ning Fengyu and walked out.

Ning Fengyu's steps were messy. As he passed by Lu Yunzheng, he heard Lu Yunzheng say coldly:

"Don't come here again in the future."

Ning Fengyu was stunned when he heard this. He turned to look at Lu Yunzheng, but saw that Lu Yunzheng's face was cold and stern, and he didn't seem to be joking.

Ning Fengyu opened his mouth but said nothing and was pulled out of the courtyard by Ning Fengzhi.

The courtyard remained silent until the sound of the carriage faded away.

Gu Xizhi was in a state of confusion.

Lu Yunzheng had always been gentle and considerate to her, and had never been as cold and silent as he was today.

She bit her lower lip, tears welling up in her eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Lu Yunzheng suddenly pulled her inside.

Gu Xizhi was not mentally prepared and staggered when she was pulled, but even so, Lu Yunzheng did not slow down.

Gu Xizhi finally confirmed that today's incident had become a big deal.

If she cannot appease Lu Yunzheng, she may not even have a place to stay in the future, let alone be the general's wife.

"Yun Zheng, Yun Zheng, you're pulling me and it hurts."

Gu Xizhi cried out in pain, and Lu Yunzheng finally stopped when he heard this.

Seeing this, Gu Xizhi slowly walked around to Lu Yunzheng, put her arms around his waist, and said softly:

"Yun Zheng, don't you still believe me? Don't you understand my feelings for you?"

"For you, I am willing to leave the carefree Dingguo General's Mansion, endure criticism with you, and let Madam Lu beat and scold me, and then stay in this small courtyard and count the days on my fingers."

"Yun Zheng, isn't this enough to show my sincerity?"

"Yun Zheng, you are the only one I have..."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yunzheng was shocked.

He missed a good opportunity today and was already feeling depressed. He felt that his future was suddenly bleak.

Who knew that when he entered the courtyard and heard Ning Fengzhi's words, he instantly felt deeply deceived and worthless.

You know, he ended up in this situation today because of Xizhi.

If he were to live his life over again, he could have followed the routine and realized his ambitions more easily, becoming a prestigious major general.

But he was reluctant to let Xizhi follow him without any status like in her previous life, so he ruined his marriage with Shen Jiasui on the spot.

As expected, one wrong step led to another. Not only did he fail to marry Xizhi, he even broke up with his parents. Now he is trapped in this small villa.

What he could not bear the most was that he missed the most important opportunity in his previous life!

A hint of bitterness flashed across Lu Yunzheng's brows.

If he had known this, he would have married Shen Jiasui home.

Shen Jiasui was deeply in love with him. He only needed to coax her like he did in his previous life, and everything would go smoothly...

"Yunzheng?"

Seeing that Lu Yunzheng never responded, Gu Xizhi was completely panicked at this moment.

Could it be...could it be that he regretted it?

It was not until this moment that Gu Xizhi suddenly realized that she had no way out, but Lu Yunzheng still had.

As long as he sacrificed himself and admitted his mistakes to General Lu and Mrs. Lu, they would naturally not let their own son suffer.

There was also Shen Jiasui. She had been engaged to Yun Zheng for many years, and whenever he occasionally teased her with a tentative look, Shen Jiasui would shyly lower her head.

If Yun Zheng went back to apologize to Shen Jiasui, she might not reject Yun Zheng...

Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi suddenly looked up and asked in a trembling voice, "Yun Zheng, do you regret it? You regret choosing me when you proposed marriage, don't you?"

Lu Yunzheng suddenly came back to his senses and immediately concealed the hesitation in his eyes.

But he also knew in his heart that Ning Fengzhi was a simple person and could not say anything out of thin air.

Perhaps this time, he had been down and out for too long, which made Xizhi start to consider other things. After all, Feng Yu was the legitimate son of a marquis...

It was because he was so good to Xizhi that Xizhi was sure that he would never leave her no matter what.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng sighed softly. Although he still raised his arm to embrace Gu Xizhi, the words he said were meaningful:

"Xizhi, I have given so much for you, and it is indeed my own will."

"But...I hope you won't make me feel that this isn't worth it."

Gu Xizhi felt relieved when she saw that Lu Yunzheng was willing to hug her, but when the second half of the sentence entered her ears, her face turned pale and her blood froze.
