Chapter 10 Take Me Away
Lu Yunzheng turned his head and saw Aunt Zhou walking towards him not far away, waving a round fan.
His brows furrowed instantly, but the fear he had in his previous life no longer existed in his heart.
In her previous life, Aunt Zhou relied on my father's favor and indeed put a lot of obstacles in his way, and my mother hated her very much.
But after her father died in the war, Aunt Zhou lost her support and was "dealt with" by my mother.
Lu Yunzheng didn't know how the matter was "dealt with", but when he returned to Beijing from the border, there was no trace of Aunt Zhou in the mansion.
As for his half-brother and half-sister, he had never seen them either. As he was anxious to see Xizhi, he was too lazy to ask any further questions.
Lu Yunzheng was still recalling the situation in his previous life when Aunt Zhou came closer. He didn't know how long she had been listening in the corner.
When Mrs. Lu saw Aunt Zhou coming to interfere, she felt something was wrong, and General Lu also frowned slightly.
He didn't want to see infighting in the mansion.
Aunt Zhou was a smart woman. She knew very well what General Lu was thinking, so she did not target Lu Yunzheng. Her beautiful eyes only fell on Gu Xizhi.
"Tsk tsk, he really looks so pitiful. No wonder the young master is willing to give up the marriage proposal in General Dingguo's Mansion."
"If I remember correctly, this girl has come to the Lu Mansion several times with Miss Shen, right?"
Seeing Aunt Zhou's weird and weird attitude, Lu Yunzheng was full of impatience, but he was also concerned about her father's favor, so he said coldly:
"Auntie, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Aunt Zhou nodded obediently, but then said, "I really can't take care of the affairs of the mansion, but I just watched for a while and I have to remind the young master."
"This girl is very scheming and is good at acting. Young Master, you must be careful."
When Gu Xizhi heard this, her tears flowed even harder.
At this moment, she suddenly began to regret it.
She didn't expect that Lu Yunzheng's "suffering some grievances" would make her endure so many insults.
But now, just as her godfather said before leaving, the only one she can rely on is Lu Yunzheng.
"Yun Zheng, take me away, take me away."
Gu Xizhi tightly grasped Lu Yunzheng's collar, as if she could not bear the humiliation any more, and even her voice was trembling.
She looked so tearful, like a porcelain doll that could break at any moment.
This was the only way she could do.
When Lu Yunzheng saw Gu Xizhi being so fragile, he felt a piercing pain in his heart. This was the girl he had loved for two lifetimes!
"Mrs. Zhou, you have no right to speak here!"
Lu Yunzheng raised his head suddenly, his expression ferocious.
Aunt Zhou seemed frightened and immediately hid behind General Lu, but she kept talking:
"Look, young master. You have been completely manipulated by this woman. She only shed a few tears, and you are so moved."
“If she really is as good as you say, knowing that you are Miss Shen’s fiancé, she should stay away from you.”
"Even if she is moved, she should give up the thought as soon as possible."
"I think she was attracted by the fact that the eldest son is a rare talent and has a noble status. She has been planning this for a long time and she has always wanted to become the young lady of our general's mansion!"
This time, Mrs. Lu rarely stopped Aunt Zhou.
Zheng'er is now afraid that he has been bewitched by this woman, and someone should come and wake him up!
When Gu Xizhi heard this, she felt that all the little thoughts in her heart had been exposed in front of her, and she had nowhere to hide.
Her face was pale and she bit her lower lip tightly. At the moment when she was filled with shame and anger, she quickly convinced herself.
People always strive for higher goals. What's wrong with her trying her best to pick a suitable husband for herself?
Should she just obey her godmother's arrangement and marry the incompetent second son of the Bo family?
Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Xizhi was afraid that Aunt Zhou would say something even more unpleasant, so she simply tilted her head and fainted.
At this moment, Lu Yunzheng was completely panicked.
"Cherish the branches! Cherish the branches!"
Aunt Zhou secretly curled the corners of her mouth.
This little bit of skill is really not enough...
"Fainted? Young master, pinch the base of the palm of your hand or press the philtrum, both can wake him up." Aunt Zhou said kindly.
"Shut up!"
Lu Yunzheng shouted angrily and picked up Gu Xizhi horizontally.
He felt extremely guilty for Gu Xizhi's humiliation, and at this moment, he threatened his parents:
"Father and mother, I will not marry anyone other than Xizhi in this life. I just said that I gave up the marriage with the Shen family for another reason."
Mrs. Lu was extremely anxious, worried that Lu Yunzheng would say something irreversible, so she urged him:
"What's the reason, Zheng'er, just tell me! As long as you can convince your father, everything can be discussed!"
Lu Yunzheng had obviously made up his mind. He took a step forward and said in a low voice:
"Father, the Dingguo General's Mansion will be destroyed within two years. What I did today was to sever ties with the Shen family as soon as possible to avoid being implicated in the future—"
"Asshole!"
General Lu yelled angrily before he even finished listening, his eyes full of disappointment!
"General Dingguo's mansion is at its peak, and General Shen is favored by the emperor. You actually made up such a lie for a mere Gu Xizhi. Lu Yunzheng, you disappoint me so much!"
Mrs. Lu looked at her son, whom she had always been proud of, with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"Zheng'er, what are you talking about?"
Lu Yunzheng was very anxious, "Mom and Dad, if you don't believe me, I can provide more evidence, but I have to go to the study first!"
When Lu Yunzheng said this, he glanced at Aunt Zhou.
The matter of rebirth is mysterious. In order to successfully marry Xizhi, he can tell part of the truth to his parents, but he must never let outsiders know.
However, General Lu no longer believed Lu Yunzheng's words. He shook his head in extreme disappointment and advised for the last time:
"Now you come with me to the Shen family to apologize and send Miss Gu back. As long as Sui is willing to forgive you, our two families will still be relatives."
"Even if the marriage doesn't work out, at least the relationship is still there, and you won't ruin your future!"
Madam Lu also followed and advised: "Zheng'er, listen to your father, this woman is too scheming, don't let her take advantage of you!"
Seeing that his parents were determined to stop him and Xizhi at all costs, Lu Yunzheng felt heartbroken and desperate.
He and Xizhi have missed each other in this life, and no matter what, he will not miss it a second time!
Do parents think that he will be no good without the help of the Shen family?
They didn’t know that in his previous life, he had accomplished a feat that his father had failed to accomplish, defeating the Mo Kingdom and becoming a great hero of the Sheng Dynasty!
And this time he has the upper hand, and will be even more glorious than in his previous life, and even more admired by thousands of people!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng slowly took a few steps back and said resolutely: "It is impossible for me to go to General Dingguo's Mansion again. In this life, I don't want anyone else except Xizhi!"
"Father and mother, if you insist on obstructing——"
When Lu Yunzheng said this, he suddenly hugged Gu Xizhi, turned around and left with big strides.
Mrs. Lu was so frightened that her face turned pale. She hurriedly chased after him and shouted in panic: "Zheng'er, what are you doing!"
"Let him go!"
General Lu shouted loudly.
Lu Yunzheng had already stopped, but took another step after hearing this.
Mrs. Lu was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes, and she shouted loudly: "Zheng'er, don't be impulsive!"
General Lu sneered repeatedly: "Lu Yunzheng, don't think that you have grown wings. Without the general's mansion, you are nothing!"
Lu Yunzheng kept walking and responded coldly: "Dad, you will regret your decision today. Your son - has never been a fish in a pond!"
He held his back straight, and without stopping, he carried the unconscious Gu Xizhi straight out of the Lu Mansion.
Mrs. Lu cried loudly behind him, but Lu Yunzheng did not even turn back.
Aunt Zhou stood obediently behind General Lu, her face clearly full of panic, but the corners of her mouth were barely noticeable...
