Chapter 11: Apologize
General Dingguo's Mansion.
Here, Shen Jiasui had already told Shen Zhengsheng and his wife everything about his past life, as if it was a dream last night.
If there was anything to be concealed, it was the days and nights she tossed and turned in agony after she married into the Lu Mansion, and the tragic fight to the death in the Jingxi Villa.
There was silence in the hall, and Shen Zhengsheng and his wife were speechless for a long while.
Shen Jiasui was afraid that his parents would not believe him, so he quickly explained, "Dad, Mom, Suisui really wasn't talking nonsense. The letter we found in Gu Xizhi's room today is irrefutable evidence."
"Perhaps God couldn't bear to see my entire Shen family perish unjustly, so he sent a message to my daughter in her dream as a warning. You must believe her!"
"Lu Yunzheng's behavior is very different from what I saw in my dream. I suspect he has had the same experience. I must be on guard against him from now on!"
Shen Jiasui looked solemn. She knew that this matter was indeed unbelievable. Even if her parents didn't believe it, she had to be on guard.
Ji Wan suddenly came forward at this moment. Shen Jiasui was about to speak, but Ji Wan opened her arms and hugged her.
Shen Jiasui looked a little confused, but Ji Wan said in a trembling voice, "As long as Suisui says it, mother is willing to believe it."
"Mother was just thinking that in that dream, both parents passed away first, leaving Suisui alone, with all the grievances in the family nowhere to complain. Suisui must have been very scared."
"Mother is so strong every year. How can she live alone if she can't do anything about it? Mother feels heartbroken just thinking about it."
Shen Jiasui was stunned at first when he heard this, then his heart ached and tears rolled down his face.
She had obviously concealed her grievances and tragic death on purpose, but the people who loved and cared about you were always worried about you.
Not only did her mother choose to believe her, she even worried that she had been wronged in her "dream"...
"mother......"
Shen Jiasui called out softly, and couldn't help but burying his head in Ji Wan's shoulder and crying out loud.
Ji Wan's eyes were red as she rubbed Shen Jiasui's back again and again.
Shen Zhengsheng also came forward at this time. He rubbed Shen Jiasui's head, silent in words but gentle in actions.
Although the matter was mysterious and difficult to explain, he knew his daughter's personality very well and knew she would never say anything that was unfounded.
Could it really be a warning from God that one day the Shen family would be executed and their bodies would be mutilated?
It is better to believe it exists than to believe it does not exist...
Thinking of this, Shen Zhengsheng's expression became more solemn.
Just as my daughter said just now, Lu Yunzheng, a mere man, is not capable of setting up such a shocking situation. Now that he is on guard, he should take the initiative to find out the person behind the scenes!
......
Baiji was cautious when he left Lu's mansion and waited outside the mansion for a long time.
It was not until he saw Lu Yunzheng coming out dejectedly holding Gu Xizhi that Bai Ji smiled and hurried back to the general's mansion to report.
As a result, when he entered Yong'an Courtyard, he happened to see Shen Jiasui crying, and the Yong'an Marquis and his wife were comforting him with kind words.
Baiji's heart skipped a beat and he reported it worriedly, telling everyone what he had seen and heard in Lu's mansion.
Ji Wan snorted coldly when she heard this, but when she realized that Lu Yunzheng had not succeeded, a look of satisfaction finally appeared on her face.
At this time, Shen Zhengsheng suddenly said, "Madam, get ready. I think Old Lu will be here soon."
Ji Wan's eyebrows raised when she heard this, "How dare Lu Yongzhu come to my house? As for me, beating him with a broom would be polite!"
Earl Zhongyong was awarded the title because of his military merits, and he was a man who did not care about details. Ji Wan was raised under the care of Earl Zhongyong, and he had a particularly aggressive personality.
But she was just talking nonsense. Since Lu Yunzheng was kicked out of the Lu Mansion, it was clear what Lu Yongzhu's attitude was.
And as Suisui just said, Lu Yongzhu is a short-lived person and will not live for more than two years. I am afraid there are many hidden stories here, and perhaps my husband has other considerations.
Shen Zhengsheng knew that his wife was harsh in words, but in fact she was brave and resourceful.
They had been in love for twenty years, and he was well aware of the way they got along. He nodded immediately and said with a fierce look:
"I will teach him a lesson later!"
These words touched Ji Wan's heart. She immediately relaxed her expression and nodded with satisfaction.
When Shen Jiasui saw this scene, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Just then, someone came to report that General Lu and Mrs. Lu had arrived.
Ji Wan sneered when she heard this: "They came so quickly, let's leave them alone for a while!"
————
When Mrs. Lu was invited into the inner courtyard, she had already been sitting in the reception room with General Lu for a quarter of an hour.
There was no tea and no servants to serve.
General Lu admitted that he was in the wrong and remained unmoved, but Mrs. Lu was very dissatisfied.
Now that she finally saw Ji Wan, Mrs. Lu was feeling angry, but she had to apologize with a smile.
Ji Wan was cold and didn't respond.
Mrs. Lu smiled until her face froze and she cursed inwardly:
It is true that like mother, like daughter. No wonder Shen Jiasui is also unpopular.
In this case, isn't it that Shen Jiasui has no fault at all in the fact that Zheng'er has transferred his affection? It was obvious that she was incompetent and couldn't even hold Zheng'er's heart!
Mrs. Lu didn't dare to show it at this moment. She exhaled slightly and said with a smile:
"Sister, you know that I like Sui the most. It's Zheng'er who is unlucky and has no vision. The master has already taught him a lesson."
"Let me meet Sui-ya and apologize to Zheng-er in person. Only then will I feel more at ease."
In fact, Mrs. Lu has her own considerations.
This time, the husband was really mad at Zheng'er. If this matter was not resolved for a long time, I'm afraid Zheng'er would have less and less status in the husband's heart.
Shen Jiasui and Zheng'er were already engaged, and it seems that they had feelings for each other over the years.
Moreover, Zheng'er is one of the most distinguished young men in the capital, handsome and dignified. How could a little girl like Shen Jiasui not be moved?
As long as she finds out today that Shen Jiasui has not given up on Zheng'er and is still willing to marry, she will go and persuade Zheng'er, even at the cost of death, to let Zheng'er marry Shen Jiasui home!
As for Gu Xizhi, it would not matter whether she was taken as a concubine or kept outside.
Shen Zhengsheng and his wife might try to stop it, but after all, a girl is no longer under the control of her mother, so the crux of the problem still falls on Shen Jiasui!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Lu became more attentive and said many nice things. It seemed that she would feel guilty to death if she didn't see Shen Jiasui today.
Ji Wan remained indifferent and even rolled her eyes secretly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Shen Jiasui in the inner room suddenly lifted the curtain and walked out.
Seeing this, Ji Wan immediately stood up to greet him, and without avoiding Mrs. Lu, she said bluntly: "Sui Sui, you don't have to consider the relationship between the two families. If we don't want to meet, then we don't have to meet!"
Mrs. Lu didn't expect Ji Wan to be so ruthless. She gritted her teeth in hatred, but still couldn't wait to walk over.
When she saw Shen Jiasui's red eyes, her eyes lit up instantly.
This look made me cry!
It's been an hour or two since Zheng'er proposed to cancel the engagement, and he's still crying like this. It's not just that Shen Jiasui still has feelings for Zheng'er, it's clear that he's deeply in love with her and can't extricate himself!
Good, good, things are finally turning around!
When she becomes Shen Jiasui's mother-in-law in the future, Shen Jiasui will have to live under her control. Let's see if Ji Wan dares to be so arrogant in front of her!
Mrs. Lu thought so and hurriedly pulled Shen Jiasui's hand, saying, "Sui girl, I'm sorry for making you suffer."
