Lu Zheng advised Lu Xue to get married now, saying he had already found the perfect match: the newly appointed top scholar, Chen Yujiang.
He even devised a way to make the marriage happen, no matter what.
He said he was old enough to protect himself from his stepmother and hoped his sister could leave the Lu family. He didn't want her to sacrifice her happiness for him.
In this way, Lu Xue successfully escaped the terrible marriage arranged by her stepmother and married Chen Yujiang, a poor scholar who had won the imperial examination at the time. It was even a marriage bestowed by the emperor himself.
Gu Nian doesn't like the male lead Lu Zheng in the book, but she really likes his older sister Lu Xue.
She is the only person in the book, besides Grandpa Gu, Grandma Gu, and Lu Zheng, who shows kindness to Gu Xin. She genuinely treats Gu Xin as her sister-in-law.
When Lu Zheng was away from home, and there was a lot of gossip in the capital, Lu Xue, who was already the wife of a second-rank official, often visited Gu Xin, gave her pointers on etiquette, and kept her company.
She genuinely cried after Gu Xin died.
As Lu Zheng's concubines entered the family one after another, Lu Xue ran back to her parents' home and angrily scolded her younger brother.
Gu Nian remembered Lu Xue scolding Lu Zheng in the book: "You said that after you completely wiped out the Lin family, you would marry her with great pomp and circumstance, making her the rightful Mrs. Lu. You said you would give her the best, but what have you done now? Xin'er has only been gone for a short time, and you've already brought one woman after another home! So what if they look like Xin'er? So what if they know Xin'er's cooking skills? Lu Zheng, are you going to follow in your father's footsteps? Your mother has been dead for less than a year, and you're already bringing women back to replace her?"
Lu Zheng simply replied, "Think what you want! My brother is a disappointment to you! Just pretend I don't exist!"
Lu Xue broke off her relationship with Lu Zheng after that.
Now, when Gu Nian recalls the plot of the book, she always feels that something is a little strange.
What exactly is the foreshadowing for her nephew?
Before Lu Zheng accepted the concubine given to him by the emperor, what exactly was the mysterious person he met?
Actually, Lu Zheng didn't accept those women at first, but he accepted them one by one after meeting that mysterious person.
Gu Nian was completely baffled by this.
Meanwhile, Uncle Gu couldn't explain why his sister wasn't protecting her brother anymore; he hadn't overheard anything from eavesdropping.
"Sigh! I won't say anymore! In my whole life, I haven't thought about anything else, I just wanted to see Xiao Jia's daughter and son one last time. No matter how badly they suffered under their stepmother, I just wanted to tell them to live well. Because Xiao Jia was a positive and optimistic person, and her daughter and son should be like that too. Xiao Jia once said that life is only a few decades long, and we should live our limited lives well, live the lives we want, so that we don't live in vain. I hope those two little ones will be like that too!" Uncle Gu waved his hand, finished speaking, and continued to till the soil.
Cai Xiaolian then stopped asking.
Gu Nian was still thinking about certain details in the book.
Gu Xin sighed, "Aunt Zhou is so pitiful! I also hope that Miss Zhou and her husband can live a happy and fulfilling life!"
Lu Zheng wiped away his tears on the wall outside the door, turned around and went back inside without going in.
Gu Nian looked helplessly at Gu Xin. With the blessing of the little koi fish, even if Lu Zheng didn't get reborn in this life, he would still live a more fulfilling life than in the previous one!
And then there's Miss Lu Xue, who must have won every battle against her stepmother in the capital!
