Chapter 134: Double Act
The news that General Dingguo's Mansion and the Earl of Anyang's Mansion were planning to form a marriage soon spread throughout the capital.
Even during the first month of the year, someone has to take turns on duty at the Five Cities Military Command.
In the afternoon, Lu Yunzheng just returned from patrolling the city and heard his colleagues talking about this matter. Everyone's eyes fell on him intentionally or unintentionally, unable to hide their teasing and curiosity.
As everyone knows, this Miss Shen is Lu Yunzheng's ex-fiancee.
Now, not only has she not been affected after the engagement was cancelled, but she has also become engaged to the famous Lord Jiang. It seems that her life is getting better and better.
On the other hand, it was said that Lu Yunzheng made a big fool of himself at the welcoming banquet in the Imperial Garden, and on New Year's Eve, he couldn't even stay overnight in the Lu Mansion!
This is really a case of a wasted effort, the game is hard to recover, and everything is lost!
Lu Yunzheng had excellent hearing, and even if it was unintentional, he could hear the sarcasm that was being suppressed by everyone clearly.
His face was livid as he walked through his colleagues, clenching his teeth, the muscles on his cheeks trembling slightly with anger.
But no matter how furious he was, he no longer had the capital to be willful. He could only clench his fists and try hard to control his emotions.
He walked all the way into the government office and saw no one around. Lu Yunzheng suddenly punched the table in front of him.
Bang!
There was a loud noise.
These people who look down on others, one day, he will make them pay the price for what they said today!
Shen Jiasui.......
Shen Jiasui is actually going to marry Jiang Xun. How can she marry Jiang Xun!
Prince Xiang probably doesn't want to see this situation. Five days have passed, why hasn't the prince sent anyone to find him?
Just as Lu Yunzheng was thinking this, someone suddenly came in uninvited.
Lu Yunzheng was feeling very upset, and he shouted without even turning his head: "Get out!"
But the man not only did not leave, but continued to walk quickly towards him, and the footsteps stopped behind him.
Lu Yunzheng frowned and turned his head, and saw that the person coming was a patrol captain under his command. He looked familiar, but he couldn't remember his name for a moment.
"What's the matter?" Lu Yunzheng asked impatiently.
The patrol captain bowed to Lu Yunzheng and said something shocking: "Deputy Commander, I am here to bring you a letter on your honorable order."
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and he saw the man pull out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to him with both hands.
The letter was unsigned and looked very cautious.
Lu Yunzheng's heart skipped a beat. He took the letter without hesitation. The man stood up and said:
"Please, Deputy Commander, please pretend not to recognize me next time you see me."
The patrol captain said this and left quickly.
Lu Yunzheng never imagined that even the East City Military Command had people under Prince Xiang's command.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, he couldn't wait to open the letter in his hand.
It was just a thin sheet of paper. When I unfolded it, I saw unfamiliar handwriting:
"Prevent Jiang Xun and Shen Jiasui from getting married, and allow you to join the Beijing Guards."
Lu Yunzheng only felt a surge of heat rushing to his head, and immediately he had a sense of security that everything was finally getting back on track.
After the flower-viewing banquet in his previous life, he was transferred to the Beijing Guard Station to become a centurion, and then he was promoted step by step.
It seems that the prince really listened to what he said in the plum forest that day.
As for stopping Jiang Xun and Shen Jiasui?
Just what he wanted!
Let him think about it...
The nearest opportunity seems to be the Lantern Festival.
He remembered that Shen Jiasui especially liked the Lantern Festival, and he remembered all the places she loved to go and the restaurants she loved to eat at on that day.
If you want to "encounter by chance", it couldn't be easier.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng was suddenly stunned.
He suddenly realized that he remembered all of Shen Jiasui's hobbies clearly.
That’s right, in his previous life, Shen Jiasui had no other friends except him and Xizhi.
Every year during the Lantern Festival, Shen Jiasui would take him and Xizhi to those places, and it was hard for them not to remember them.
The key now is, how to make her and Jiang Xun completely estranged and break up the engagement?
Lu Yunzheng's thoughts were racing, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he excitedly clenched the letter in his hand.
————
On the other side, Shen Jiasui also welcomed the first guest of the New Year, Zhao Huaizhen.
“Oh my God! Jiasui, you…you you you!”
Zhao Huaizhen was shocked and stared at Shen Jiasui, unable to calm down.
"Why are you proposing marriage to Jiang Xun? Then...what about Ning'er..."
Zhao Huai was really worried, but she also had good intentions.
If the Anyang Marquis and his wife had not suddenly appeared that day, the Emperor might have already granted Tuoba Ning and Jiang Xun a marriage.
Furthermore, when Tuoba Ningfang met Shen Jiasui that day, he called her Sister Jiasui all the time, and it was obvious that he really regarded Shen Jiasui as a friend.
Now, only a few days have passed, and Jiang Xun has come to General Dingguo's mansion to propose marriage. Isn't this a slap in the face of Tuoba Ning?
"Jia Sui, Ning'er...is not unreasonable. I don't think she will become your enemy because of this. I'm just worried that she will be taken advantage of..."
"Well, that day I asked you what kind of man you liked, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"If I had known this earlier, I would have told Ning'er that he was dead, so that she wouldn't have to pay attention to Lord Jiang anymore."
Shen Jiasui naturally understood Zhao Huaizhen's good intentions. She sighed softly and said truthfully:
"Huai Zhen, at that time I really didn't know my own feelings, let alone Lord Jiang's."
"You know, I'm not the shy type. If I had known it earlier, I would not have been so secretive in front of you."
Zhao Huaizhen naturally believed Shen Jiasui, but she just couldn't figure it out, so she couldn't help asking:
"Jia Sui, what do you like about Lord Jiang? And Ning Er too. Lord Jiang has a stern face all day long, never smiling, like an old scholar."
"Besides, a man like him is definitely not good at sweet talk and doesn't know how to warm people's hearts. Aren't you worried that if you marry a man like him, your future life will be too boring?"
Shen Jiasui tilted his head and thought about it when he heard this.
Having a stern face? Serious? Can’t say sweet words?
Is it true that the person she and Huaizhen know is the same person?
When Zhao Huaizhen saw Shen Jiasui smile when he mentioned Jiang Xun, he shuddered immediately.
It’s over. It seems Jiasui is serious about it.
But Ning'er and Jiasui are both her good friends, and this incident gave her a headache.
"Well, I...I'll go and see Ning'er's attitude for you. No matter what, we can't let a Lord Jiang ruin our friendship!"
"Jia Sui, wait for my news!"
Zhao Huaizhen left in a hurry again.
Shen Jiasui accompanied Zhao Huaizhen to the door. Seeing her busying around for him, he felt both touched and guilty.
When Huaizhen arrived at Ning'er's place, he was afraid that he would not get any "good face".
She had asked Axun about this matter this morning.
Although he knew that Ning'er already had someone in mind and the welcoming banquet was just an act, Ah Xun's eagerness to come and propose marriage in front of outsiders did embarrass Ning'er.
Fortunately, A Xun was thoughtful.
"Don't worry, when I decided to propose marriage, I discussed it with the teacher and the eldest princess."
"The reason why I'm so anxious is, firstly, I'm really... impatient, and secondly,..."
"Sui Sui, I don't want you to think that I am calculating even the matter of proposing marriage, but there will definitely be many obstacles for you and me to get married, so I have to look at the long-term and make some plans."
"The marriage proposal came today, and the welcoming banquet is only five or six days away. If they want to stop it, they will definitely start with Princess An Ning."
"This time, why don't we join the princess in performing a double act for everyone in the capital!"
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui silently apologized to Zhao Huaizhen in his heart.
When the truth comes out, she will apologize to Huaizhen and seek forgiveness.
