Chapter 1: Double Rebirth
A sword pierced the chest and a hairpin entered the throat.
When Major General Lu Yunzheng, who had just returned from a great victory and became famous in the prosperous dynasty, was found, he and his wife Shen Jiasui had died tragically in a villa in western Beijing.
After investigation by the Dali Temple, it was found that the two men killed each other and died together.
————
"Miss? Miss?"
When the calling voice rang in his ears, Shen Jiasui had not yet recovered from the severe pain in his chest.
She looked up blankly, and what came into her sight was a familiar face.
"Baiji?" Shen Jiasui murmured.
The maid Baiji responded crisply, and then a teasing look appeared on her face, "Miss, you are not going again?"
"Where are we going?" Shen Jiasui asked subconsciously.
Bai Ji's smile widened, and he joked, "Mr. Lu came to propose marriage today, so he must be in Yong'an Hall right now. Didn't you say you wanted to go take a look?"
"If the lady is really shy, we won't go. After all..."
Shen Jiasui could no longer hear what Baiji said next.
There was a buzzing in her head, and she looked around, her heart and liver trembling!
She...she had clearly died together with Lu Yunzheng.
But at this moment, she was standing at home, standing on the breeze corridor that she had walked countless times.
"Miss?"
Baiji was shocked when he saw Shen Jiasui's face suddenly turned pale.
But the next moment, Shen Jiasui had already lifted her skirt and rushed towards Yong'an Hall.
Baiji was stunned at first, then smiled and shook his head.
The lady is really anxious.
However, Mr. Lu is a handsome man and a perfect match for the young lady. The two of them have already been engaged, and now it is finally time to get married!
Baiji thought so happily and quickly followed.
Soon they arrived at Yong'an Hall. As Shen Jiasui stepped into the courtyard, a familiar voice reached his ears:
"Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen, Yun Zheng is here today to ask to marry Miss Gu from your house. Please help me."
The person speaking with a firm and anxious tone was Lu Yunzheng.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui suddenly stopped in his tracks, his face full of shock.
On this day in the previous life, it was clearly her that Lu Yunzheng proposed to marry.
It's different now.
In a flash, a thought flashed through Shen Jiasui's mind.
Could it be that Lu Yunzheng is also like her...
"What did you say?"
At the main seat, General Dingguo Shen Zhengsheng and his wife Ji Wan stood up suddenly, their eyes full of disbelief.
Lu Yunzheng straightened his back and repeated loudly: "I am in love with Miss Gu Xizhi from your mansion, and I have come here today to ask for—"
"ah--"
At this time, Baiji, who had hurriedly caught up, happened to hear these words and couldn't help but let out a low cry.
The three people in the hall looked over at the sound. The moment Shen Zhengsheng and Ji Wan saw Shen Jiasui, their faces changed drastically.
"Sui Sui!"
Ji Wan didn't bother to scold Lu Yunzheng and hurried out to greet him.
When Ji Wan saw Shen Jiasui’s pale face, she felt so distressed that she quickly hugged her daughter in her arms.
Both the Shen family and the Lu family are military families. The head of the Lu family, Lu Yongzhu, was once the left deputy general of Shen Zhengsheng. Now he has been promoted to General Zhaoyong and has taken over Shen Zhengsheng's position.
When Shen Jiasui was ten years old, Lu Yongzhu came in person and sincerely proposed marriage for his eldest son Lu Yunzheng.
Shen Zhengsheng saw that the two children were of similar age, and Lu Yunzheng was a good candidate. Lu Yongzhu was also his old subordinate, and the two families knew each other well.
In this way, Shen Jiasui would not be wronged in any way after marrying him, so she agreed to the marriage.
The two children got to know each other, practiced martial arts together, played together, and were very compatible.
Everyone thought it was a match made in heaven.
Today is the day that Lu Yunzheng comes to propose marriage, and Ji Wan carefully dressed up Shen Jiasui early in the morning.
Recalling the shy look her daughter showed in the mirror when she was dressing this morning, Ji Wan felt as if her heart was broken.
My daughter has true feelings for Lu Yunzheng... and I'm afraid she is heartbroken at this moment.
The moment Baiji spoke, Shen Jiasui quickly adjusted his expression; his pale face and frightened eyes were just right.
The moment she met Lu Yunzheng's gaze, she did not miss the confusion on Lu Yunzheng's face, which was a mixture of hatred and fear, with a hint of emotion and confusion.
Sure enough, Lu Yunzheng was also reborn!
"Asshole!"
At this moment, Shen Zhengsheng suddenly shouted and broke the coffee table beside him with one slap.
"Lu Yunzheng, how dare you betray Sui Sui! Do you know that I only agreed to this marriage because of your father's begging?"
Lu Yunzheng also doubted whether Shen Jiasui would do the same thing as him.
But at this moment, he did not see any flaws in Shen Jiasui.
He thought he understood Shen Jiansui. She was such an impulsive person who dared to love and hate. If she were really reborn, she would have come to kill him with a sword in hand.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng slowly withdrew his gaze.
The most urgent task is to marry Xizhi home as soon as possible!
Thinking of Gu Xizhi, Lu Yunzheng felt his heart burning. That was his lover and the person who loved him the most in this world!
Since he was destined to become a famous major general in the future, why should he be so timid as he was in his previous life and marry Shen Jiasui because he was afraid of offending Shen Zhengsheng?
With confidence, Lu Yunzheng's tone became more determined, "Uncle Shen, I have always had only brotherly feelings towards Sui Sui, and the person I love is Miss Gu."
"The engagement was just my father's wishful thinking. I was still young at that time and didn't know what love was, nor could I make my own decisions."
"Besides, my uncle has always treated Miss Gu as his own daughter. If I marry Miss Gu, I can continue the friendship between our two families."
Shen Zhengsheng and his wife indeed treated Gu Xizhi as their own daughter.
At that time, the Sheng Dynasty fought a great war with the Mo Kingdom in the north, and Shen Zhengsheng was engaged in a bitter battle with the enemy.
During the retreat, Gu Changshen, the right deputy general, lost his life while protecting Shen Zhengsheng, and Shen Zhengsheng himself also lost his left arm in that battle.
After the news reached the border town, Mrs. Gu could not bear the blow and fell ill. When Shen Zhengsheng went to visit her, Mrs. Gu entrusted the young Gu Xizhi to him and passed away.
Shen Zhengsheng felt extremely guilty and was grateful to Deputy General Gu for saving his life, so he sent Gu Xizhi back to the capital, raised her in his mansion, and treated her as his own daughter.
That year, Gu Xizhi was eleven years old and Shen Jiasui was twelve years old.
At that time, the general's wife Ji Wan suspected that Gu Xizhi was Shen Zhengsheng's illegitimate daughter at the border, which inevitably caused a fuss.
After learning the truth, Ji Wan felt that she owed Gu Xizhi a lot. From then on, whatever Shen Jiasui had, Gu Xizhi would also have a share.
Shen Jiasui also treated Gu Xizhi as his own sister, protecting her everywhere and taking her with him wherever he went.
In this way, Gu Xizhi got to know Lu Yunzheng naturally.
Gu Xizhi was a very gentle person, very considerate, and everyone liked her very much.
Therefore, Ji Wan did not think that Gu Xizhi would betray Shen Jiasui. She only felt that Lu Yunzheng was not only treacherous, but also had a crush on her other daughter. She was so angry that she immediately scolded him:
"What a shameless, unjust young man from the Lu family!"
"You keep saying you like Xizhi, but Xizhi is gentle and polite, and has a deep sisterly relationship with Suisui, so how could she like you!"
"And if you have always had only a brother-sister relationship with Sui Sui, why didn't you propose to cancel the engagement earlier, instead of waiting until the day of the proposal?"
"Have you ever informed your father about your breach of contract? Have you ever checked your conscience?"
