Happy Spring Every Year

Mrs. Lu chased Lu Yunzheng too quickly and almost fell down due to a stumble.

She let out a low cry of fright, and when she looked up again, Lu Yunzheng had returned and reached out to support her.

"Zheng'er."

Mrs. Lu called out softly, looking up at her son. Suddenly, all kinds of grievances surged in her heart, and she couldn't help but shed tears.

"Zheng'er, don't be impulsive. Mother can only rely on you now."

Lu Yunzheng was originally filled with anger and wanted to leave in anger, but when he saw his mother's tears, he couldn't help but soften his heart.

"Mom, you've seen it too. Dad doesn't have me or you in his eyes at all. He only has the mother and son from Ningxiang Courtyard in his heart!"

Hearing this, Mrs. Lu choked up, her heart aching and she was speechless.

Today, the master took away her power as the head of the household in front of the servants. How cruel and ruthless he was. He simply trampled on the face of her, the mistress of the house.

She wanted to say something, but in the end she could only say dejectedly: "Zheng'er, in the end it's because I'm useless and can't help you..."

Lu Yunzheng frowned upon hearing this and asked in a low voice:

"Mom, what exactly did you do? Why did Dad say you framed Lu Yunyao? Also, what does this have to do with Shen Jiasui?"

Mrs. Lu was about to explain when the servant who was ordered by General Lu to "invite" her back to Xianyayuan also caught up with her.

When Madam Lu saw them approaching, she immediately shouted angrily, "After I finish talking to Zheng'er, I will go to the Xianya Courtyard myself. Everyone, get out!"

Even though Madam Lu lost face today, the servants did not dare to act rashly and had to step aside.

At this time, Madam Lu grabbed Lu Yunzheng's hand and said angrily, "Zheng'er, this is all Gu Xizhi's bad idea!"

When Mrs. Lu revealed the plan given by Gu Xizhi, a look of disbelief flashed across Lu Yunzheng's face.

"Mother, you must have misunderstood Xizhi. Xizhi would never come up with such a vicious plan."

He knew in his heart that Xizhi had some ulterior motives. For example, last time when they went to the flower viewing banquet, Xizhi had secretly plotted against Shen Jiasui in order to fit in with the crowd.

But he thought these little thoughts were harmless. Xizhi was kind by nature, and was especially sincere to him.

Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel anxious and annoyed when she saw Lu Yunzheng still speaking for Gu Xizhi.

You know, all of Zheng'er's misfortunes started when he rashly broke off his engagement for Gu Xizhi.

And this time, if Gu Xizhi hadn't given her a bad idea, how could she have decided to deal with Lu Yunyao?

The more Madam Lu thought about it, the more she felt that it was all Gu Xizhi's fault. She gritted her teeth and said,

"Zheng'er, you were blinded by her before, and you didn't believe anything your mother said. Now that the irrefutable evidence is before you, are you still going to turn a blind eye?"

"Gu Xizhi is good at acting. It's not as wonderful as you imagine. Look at how serious a sin it is to have sex with a man outside of your family. Lu Yunyao must have been terrified, yet Gu Xizhi dared to write to you."

"By the way, speaking of this, Mother read the letter Gu Xizhi wrote to you."

Lu Yunzheng frowned when he heard this, but Madam Lu had already taken the lead and continued:

"Zheng'er, don't be upset yet. Let me ask you, was the first letter she wrote to you thanking you for saving her life?"

"Then think about the situation again. How did she fall into the water? Didn't Shen Jiasui nearly drown when he went to save her? And when you tried to save her, did she push you into the water?"

Seeing the flash of reminiscence on Lu Yunzheng's face, Madam Lu snorted coldly: "Zheng'er, you might as well find an opportunity to try and see if Gu Xizhi can swim."

"She's so vicious at such a young age. I'm afraid she's long wanted to be the only daughter of General Dingguo's mansion!"

When Mrs. Lu finished speaking, Lu Yunzheng shuddered.

"Mother, these are just your guesses!"

Lu Yunzheng subconsciously raised his voice, but Mrs. Lu shook her head and looked at Lu Yunzheng with concern.

"Zheng'er, if this goes through today, just because it was her idea, I will have no choice but to accept her."

"She's so scheming, she's toying with you, Shen Jiasui, and even the entire Shen family. How can I feel at ease with someone like this around you?"

At this time, the servants who had been waiting for a long time had troubled expressions on their faces. After all, they were also following orders. If they delayed too long, they were worried that the general would punish them.

Mrs. Lu knew that she had lost everything today, but for Zheng'er's sake, she had to hold on to the last bit of affection between her and the general.

Therefore, she did not intend to put up any more resistance, but just said to Lu Yunzheng earnestly:

"Zheng'er, listen to your mother's advice. Gu Xizhi is not worth having. Think carefully about whether you have ended up in this situation today because of her."

"As for Shen Jiasui, I don't know when she hooked up with Zhou Fu. It seems that she really bears a grudge against you for breaking off the engagement. The marriage with the Shen family is indeed impossible."

"My son is both talented and handsome, and he's young and promising. There's no need to rush. He'll find a beautiful match in the future."

"As for your father, no matter how partial he is, in the eyes of outsiders, you are General Zhaoyong's legitimate son. This is an indisputable fact."

"Zheng'er, after this incident, I've seen clearly that those dirty tricks are not worthy of public display. Once they are defeated, they will be completely defeated."

"So, Zheng'er, you still have to take steady steps. With your talent and ability, you will definitely be able to excel one day."

"Mom is waiting for you, okay?"

After Mrs. Lu finished speaking from the bottom of her heart, she saw Lu Yunzheng standing there in a daze. She felt sympathetic, but the next moment she turned around resolutely and walked towards the group of servants.

As long as she is still the master's legal wife and the mistress of the general's mansion, Zheng'er's status as the eldest son will be unshakable. No matter how successful Lu Yunsheng is, he will never be able to surpass Zheng'er in his lifetime!

She can't be impulsive anymore.

.......

When Lu Yunzheng walked out of General Zhaoyong's mansion, his steps were unsteady and he looked a little dazed.

When Mingming was off duty, he was still full of confidence, thinking that he could finally return to the general's mansion, but he didn't expect that things would go against his wishes again.

And Xizhi...

The scene of that day flashed through Lu Yunzheng's mind.

He heard the cry for help and saw Xizhi struggling in the water from afar, and jumped into the water to save her without hesitation.

Xizhi was very cooperative at that time. After he rescued Xizhi, Xizhi was still in shock and hugged his neck tightly, with her wet body clinging to him.

She never mentioned that Shen Jiasui was still in the water.

Shen Jiasui tried her best to struggle towards the surface of the water again, and he saw her and rescued her in time.

Afterwards, Xizhi cried and said that she was so scared that her mind went blank, so she forgot to ask for help for Shen Jiasui.

Xizhi was so gentle and beautiful that neither he nor Shen Jiasui suspected that she had any ulterior motives.

Shen Jiasui had just escaped death, so after hearing the explanation, he began to comfort Xizhi.

The next time they met, Xizhi shyly slipped him a letter where Shen Jiasui couldn't see it. That was the beginning of their relationship...

If it's really like what my mother said, Xizhi will be able to swim...

Lu Yunzheng didn't dare to think about it any further, but a seed of doubt was still planted in his heart.

In the dark night, Lu Yunzheng jumped on his horse.

In the past, he was always eager to rush back to the villa, but today he looked around in confusion and felt that there was nowhere to go.

Finally, he spurred his horse and walked aimlessly into the night.
