Happy Spring Every Year
Chapter 72 Wan Liuguang
When Shen Jiasui heard the voice, he was stunned for a moment. He immediately looked up and saw Jiang Xun walking out of the darkness step by step.
The light shone on his shoulders, illuminating the profile of his face. His posture was upright. He had taken off his outer robe and was now only wearing a long robe.
His eyes were cold as stars and he was serious. At this moment, Shen Jiasui felt that his face became even colder and more stern, perhaps because of his anger or the light.
She opened her mouth and suddenly felt a little annoyed.
Just now, she was so focused on dealing with Lu Yunzheng that she was careless and didn't notice what was happening behind her.
It was because Lady Anyang had just woken up, and she had never expected Jiang Xun to follow her out.
I don't know how long Jiang Xun has been here, and how much of the conversation between her and Lu Yunzheng he has heard...
Lu Yunzheng turned around when he heard the voice and noticed that Jiang Xun was not wearing an outer robe. He then glanced at the black clothes wrapped around Shen Jiasui. His brows suddenly became gloomy and he was furious.
I just thought Shen Jiasui was acting again, but I didn't expect that she and Jiang Xun were really hooking up together!
Shen Jiasui has been his wife. Even if he doesn't want her in this life, she can't marry someone else, and no one else can marry her!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng turned to face Jiang Xun and sneered at this moment:
"Everyone says that Lord Jiang is upright and honest, but now it seems that he is just that."
"Master Jiang, this is my fiancée. Even if I temporarily break off the engagement with her, it doesn't make sense for you to interfere."
"And this outer robe, Lord Jiang, a man of upright demeanor, wouldn't he know that this is against etiquette?"
Shen Jiasui was furious. What on earth was wrong with Lu Yunzheng?
She immediately took a step forward and was about to go up and punch Lu Yunzheng, but Jiang Xun suddenly walked forward at this moment.
She paused and saw Jiang Xun walk straight past Lu Yunzheng and come to her.
Shen Jiasui looked up and met Jiang Xun's always calm eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
At this time, Jiang Xun lowered his head slightly and suddenly said in a gentle voice, "Miss Shen, I'm sorry for being rude."
Shen Jiasui couldn't help but look puzzled when she heard that, but the next moment, Jiang Xun took out a veil from behind him and gently placed it on her head.
The light yellow gauze fell down in an instant, spreading out like ripples in the dim light, covering Shen Jiansui's face and her upper body.
Shen Jiasui recognized it instantly. This was the veil hat she had thrown on the shore before she went into the water to save someone. It turned out that it was picked up by Lord Jiang.
"It's windy outside, Miss Shen, please get in the carriage."
Jiang Xun said softly, then took a step back.
Shen Jiasui tilted her head back, her veil blurred her vision, and she could no longer see Jiang Xun's expression at the moment.
But the hazy light outlined his silhouette, and because the gauze was light yellow, it seemed as if a warm golden light was flowing around Jiang Xun.
This gave Shen Jiasui a vague illusion, as if he saw a hint of gentleness in the usually cold Jiang Xun.
She nodded slightly, but glanced at Lu Yunzheng not far away with concern, fearing that he would say something bad again.
Jiang Xun was very tall. From Lu Yunzheng's perspective, Jiang Xun almost completely blocked Shen Jiasui's view. His raised hand made it seem like the two of them were very intimate.
Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng's expression became even colder and harder. Just as he was about to step forward, Jiang Xun had already turned around and was still blocking Shen Jiasui tightly behind him.
His eyes were cold as he stared at the furious Lu Yunzheng and said calmly:
"Some time ago, rumors spread throughout the capital that Deputy Commander Lu had rashly called off an engagement. I am aware of the entire situation."
"According to our Great Sheng laws, once an engagement is broken off, marriage and remarriage are irrelevant. There is no such thing as temporarily breaking off an engagement, nor is there any reason to linger after breaking off an engagement."
"Furthermore, the deputy commander was indecisive and treacherous. His behavior is disrespectful and his character is lacking. I wonder if he is worthy of the job of patrolling the city and protecting the people."
"Furthermore, General Zhaoyong failed to educate his son and allowed him to break his promise. I will send the letter of accusation to the Censorate tomorrow. I believe that after being impeached, General Zhaoyong will understand how to discipline him strictly and make the deputy commander reform."
If it weren't in the court or in the Dali Temple, Jiang Xun would rarely make such a long speech.
Seeing Jiang Xun's threats, Lu Yunzheng's face changed drastically, and he said coldly: "Master Jiang, are you trying to take revenge on your own and bend the law for personal gain?"
Jiang Xun chuckled upon hearing this and said, "I have no grudges against the deputy commander, so how can you talk about personal revenge?"
"As for the abuse of power for personal gain, Deputy Commander, what did I just say is untrue?"
Seeing Jiang Xun's refusal to give in, Lu Yunzheng was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
If his father was really impeached because of him, it would be even more difficult for him to return home, and Xizhi would also suffer injustice.
He didn't believe that Jiang Xun would really like Shen Jiasui.
The two of them have completely different personalities, just like ice and charcoal, there is no possibility for them to be together.
Jiang Xun was probably attracted by the power of General Dingguo's Mansion and wanted to stage a clichéd drama of a hero saving a beautiful girl.
"Master Jiang, Shen Jiasui only knows how to wield a sword and a gun. Not only is she crude and reckless, but she also doesn't understand romance. She's not like other women who can add fragrance to your heart."
"No one can stand her temper except me."
"And we've been engaged for many years. Although we can't be called childhood sweethearts, we have a long-standing friendship. Even so, you still want her—"
"roll."
Before Lu Yunzheng finished speaking, Jiang Xun spoke coldly.
His expression didn't change much, but his anger was clearly visible.
Lu Yunzheng's eyes widened slightly when he heard this. In his two lifetimes, no one had ever spoken to him like this. This was simply an insult!
What's so crazy about Jiang Xun?
He was able to reach his current position only because he had an imperial teacher protecting him. In two years, he will fall into the quagmire and seek his own death!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng sneered, but before he could speak again, a familiar voice came from behind him:
"Deputy Commander, what are you doing here?"
Lu Yunzheng turned his head suddenly and saw his immediate superior Lin Zhouzhi with his hands behind his back, looking at him indifferently from a distance.
Lu Yunzheng frowned, and saw Lin Zhouzhi nodded at him, motioning him to come over.
He didn't want to leave just like that, otherwise it would seem like he was showing weakness to Jiang Xun.
But when he thought that he would still be on duty under Lin Zhouzhi for a long time, after hesitating for a moment, his face darkened and he still took a step towards that side.
But before leaving, he turned his head to look at Jiang Xun and said in a cold voice: "Master Jiang, the world is still uncertain and the situation is unpredictable. Don't be too frivolous. Everything... is still uncertain!"
He also wanted to go see Shen Jiasui, but Jiang Xun never moved, and he could only vaguely see a corner of the veil.
Seeing that Shen Jiasui still didn't say anything, Lu Yunzheng snorted coldly and turned away.
The surroundings suddenly became silent.
Shen Jiasui: “…”
It turns out that it feels good to have someone standing in front of you and taking the lead.
It would have been better if Jiang Xun hadn't heard the excuse she just made.
As for the nonsense Lu Yunzheng had just said, she didn't take a single word of it to heart.
"Master Jiang."
"Miss Shen."
.......
"Thank you——"
"Thank you——"
.......
"Um, Lord Jiang, what I just said about seeing you..."
"I understand that these are all temporary measures."
Shen Jiasui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and his tense shoulders instantly relaxed.
That’s great! Talking to smart people really isn’t tiring at all.
Now that everything is settled, she has to quickly wake up Baiji and the coachman. If she doesn't go back, her parents will be really worried.
Shen Jiasui was lost in thought when she suddenly heard Jiang Xun softly call out, "Miss Shen."
"Ok?"
When I am thinking and hear someone calling me, I always respond quickly.
Jiang Xun paused, his eyes surging, but he was very restrained. After a long time, he only said in a gentle voice:
"Hurry up and get in the car, or you'll catch a cold."
Shen Jiasui nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Lord Jiang. What Lu Yunzheng said just now is correct. I'm used to wielding swords and guns. I'm tough and strong, and I'm in good health!"
Jiang Xun frowned slightly when he heard this, and his thin lips moved, but he didn't say anything.
Seeing Shen Jiasui climb onto the carriage swiftly, he paused for a moment before retracting his outstretched hand and formally bowed in thanks.
"Thank you, Miss Shen, for saving my mother from danger. Please accept my respect."
Upon hearing the sound, Shen Jiasui hurriedly turned around to help.
The night wind happened to blow by at this moment, blowing up the gauze, and the tender yellow color was dyed into warm orange by the light in the distance, but it was not even a fraction as bright as Shen Jiasui's smile.
Jiang Xun raised his head slightly and saw Shen Jiasui leaning over and holding his arm with his hand. He was so close to him that it seemed as if thousands of streams of light were pouring down on him.
"Master Jiang, it's me who should thank you."
She said this with a smile on her face.
