But this person seemed to appear out of nowhere, and there was no news of her whatsoever.
Shen Zhuxin is very intelligent. There is almost no area that she doesn't understand or is not good at. Her lifestyle, behavior and so on far surpass those of the young ladies carefully cultivated by the wealthy families in Kyoto. All of this indicates that her background is not simple.
Nevertheless, as they spent time together, Lu Chen became increasingly infatuated with Shen Zhuxin, and Shen Zhuxin was also moved by Lu Chen. The two fell in love and decided to spend their lives together.
The old man was initially against it; he disliked the idea of someone whose background was unknown joining his Lu family.
However, after meeting Shen Zhuxin once, he completely changed his original opinion.
Because Shen Zhuxin provided the Lu family with a design blueprint for a military weapon. The blueprint was based on the existing weapon, but with adjustments made, and the power was increased several times over.
The fact that the Lu family was able to maintain its leading position in the military later on can be largely attributed to those blueprints.
Shen Zhuxin successfully married into the Lu family, and later helped the Lu family many times behind the scenes.
Even Old Master Lu said frankly that Shen Zhuxin was not simple. They had also suspected that Shen Zhuxin was a descendant of a reclusive family, but unfortunately, this matter could not be confirmed to this day.
"A year after giving birth to her two children, she suddenly disappeared, as if she had vanished into thin air."
"Where did it suddenly disappear to?"
Lu Chen shook his head, "Because of the loss of her son, she was depressed for a year and hardly ever went out."
“I was home the day she disappeared. I’m pretty sure there was no noise. She didn’t go out. She was just reading in the study.”
"After I coaxed Yu'er, I went to the study to call her to come downstairs for dinner. I only saw a book lying on the floor, and then she disappeared."
What book?
These details have often surfaced in Lu Chen's mind over the years; he remembers them very clearly.
"It was a famous book. At first, I was skeptical of it, but I read it many times and still couldn't figure it out."
Xin'er nodded, indicating that she understood; it seemed to have nothing to do with the book.
After Lu Chen finished speaking, his voice was somewhat hoarse, "So, you know her, right?"
Xin'er didn't hide anything and said frankly, "I wouldn't say we know each other, we've just met."
Lu Chenteng stood up abruptly, staring intently at Xin'er as if he wanted to dissect her and see the scene of their meeting.
His voice was brimming with barely suppressed excitement, "When?"
Xin'er raised her hand, gesturing for him to sit down first. "Calm down, I can't tell you the specifics right now. Can you wait a few minutes?"
She went to ask Shen Zhuxin and found out what was going on.
People tend to speak kindly when they are about to die. Xin'er felt that although she was not about to die, she was about to leave, and her heart became kinder as a result.
Or perhaps the Lu brothers provided her with a lot of support in earning crystal cores, and she was willing to help ask them.
"Okay, I'll wait for you." Lu Chen sat back down. He had waited all these years; a few minutes was nothing.
