Chapter 203 You Can Admit Your Mistakes
Lu Yunzheng sat on the horse, watching his father and his men gallop away, feeling a sense of ease and peace that he had never felt in his two lifetimes.
At this time in my previous life, my father did go to the north. He stayed in Beijing to prepare for his marriage with Shen Jiasui.
This spring, there was only a minor fight in the Mo Kingdom. Not only was Dad safe on this trip, but he also managed to return to Beijing before his wedding in his previous life.
The biggest disaster came two years later...
But Prince Xiang has already been imprisoned for life, and it is impossible for him to join Prince Xiang's camp again. I think if I am more careful in this life, nothing will happen to my father again.
When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but think of the Shen family.
Those letters...I don't know where Prince Xiang got them from.
When the prince ordered someone to hand the letter to him, his father had just died in the battle.
What Prince Xiang meant was that although Shen Zhengsheng had partially retired, he was still a fierce general.
If the capital issues an order to send Shen Zhengsheng to take charge, not only will the credit for repelling the enemy go to Shen Zhengsheng, but he will also have to be subordinate to others. It is unknown how many years it will take him to finally come to the fore.
He was hesitant and reluctant at the time, but in the end... he couldn't resist the temptation thrown by Prince Xiang.
He wanted too badly to stand out.
Even if his father can no longer see it, he wants to do it for everyone to see. He, Lu Yunzheng, wants to be famous all over the world, to return to Beijing in glory, and to trample Lu Yunsheng, who is held in his father's heart, under his feet!
Another point is that as long as the Shen family does not fall, Xizhi will never be able to marry him openly.
You have to know that at that time, Xizhi was already pregnant with his child...
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng slowly lowered his head, feeling a little hesitant and panicked.
Looking back at what he had done in his previous life, it was undeniable that he had never considered Shen Jiasui's feelings, nor had he ever cared about the life and death of the entire Shen family...
But, that was in the previous life, Shen Jiasui had already dragged him to death in the previous life.
Now that they both came back together, nothing happened. Apart from breaking off the engagement, he did not cause any harm to the Shen family. Shen Jiasui...should not continue to fight him to the death, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but look confused.
He really couldn't figure out Shen Jiasui's attitude.
Now that Prince Xiang has fallen, Shen Jiasui's goal of saving the Shen family has probably been achieved. Perhaps the situation between him and Shen Jiasui may not be a dead end.
Moreover, he had finally resolved the misunderstanding with his father. Just as his father had just said, he was still looking forward to fighting on the battlefield with his father, just like in his previous life.
Perhaps, it's time to have a talk with Shen Jiasui. He can admit his mistakes, and he does... realize that he was wrong.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng rode back to Beijing.
Since Lin Zhouzhi directly gave him a day off, Lu Yunzheng thought about it and went back to the Lu Mansion to meet Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu cried because Lu Yunzheng did not come back to see Lu Yongzhu off. Now, hearing that he and his son had finally talked it out, she couldn't help but cry with joy.
"Zheng'er? Are you serious? Did your father really say that to you?"
Lu Yunzheng smiled and nodded, and showed the letter written to him by General Lu to Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu recognized it at a glance. It was undoubtedly Lu Yongzhu's handwriting.
When she saw the eight words "prop up the family lintel and revive the family tradition", Mrs. Lu's tears flowed even more.
She thought she didn't have much ambition. All she cared about in her life were her husband, her son, and the general's mansion.
As soon as she saw the four words "support the door lintel", she knew that in the master's heart, this general's mansion was to be left to Zheng'er.
As soon as this thought came to my mind, the depression and resentment that had been in my heart for many years suddenly dissipated.
"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, you have to do your best and don't let your father down."
Mrs. Lu held Lu Yunzheng's hand, tears in her eyes, and reminded him over and over again.
.......
After leaving the general's mansion, Lu Yunzheng couldn't wait to return to the villa. Now there was only one doubt left in his mind, and that was Xizhi's secret.
Ever since I learned that the person Xizhi had taken refuge with was Prince Rui, I feel horrified whenever I think back on many things.
For example, he had revealed to Xizhi early on that he intended to join Prince Xiang, and he even exchanged letters with Prince Xiang.
How did Xizhi feel when she heard these words? Did he report this to Prince Rui right away?
He has not been able to get on Prince Xiang's boat now. If he had, he would naturally not hide anything from Xizhi.
In this way, wouldn't Prince Rui know his and Prince Xiang's movements at all times?
The more Lu Yunzheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. He even recalled the day when he attended the welcoming banquet in the Imperial Garden. Xizhi didn't want anything but the best plum blossom in the wintersweet forest.
Coincidentally, after the banquet, Prince Xiang happened to be in the east of the wintersweets forest, where the wintersweets grew best.
Xizhi seemed to be... intentionally or unintentionally pushing him towards Prince Xiang, turning him into a spy planted by Prince Rui next to Prince Xiang.
After thinking all this through, Lu Yunzheng's heart was completely chilled.
If there was anything that had driven him to not break off relations with Gu Xizhi until now, Lu Yunzheng thought it was his unwillingness.
He had done so many things, and in his previous life he even harmed the entire Shen family. He did not deny that half of it was because of his own desire for fame and fortune.
But the other half, Lu Yunzheng dared to say with confidence, was for Xizhi and their unborn child in her belly.
The more he cared, the more he became obsessed with it, and the more he wanted to see what Xizhi wanted to do, how far she would go, and whether...she loved him or not.
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lu Yunzheng couldn't even help but laugh at himself.
Lu Yunzheng has been longing to be loved in both of his lives. In his previous life, it was his father, and in this life, it was Xizhi...
Lu Yunzheng is now being careful. Since he has returned home early, he might as well see if he will run into anything!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng climbed up the courtyard wall quietly.
There were only two maids, Qingtao and Hongtao, in the yard. They were sitting comfortably at the stone table, eating snacks and talking about something.
Lu Yunzheng thought Gu Xizhi was resting in the house.
After all, the injury on her wrist that day at the Jokhang Temple had worsened, and she had been feeling increasingly uncomfortable these days and nights.
Thinking of this, he was about to jump onto the roof, but he heard Hong Tao muttering:
"What was she thinking? She was so willing to deal with that vulgar woman next door. It's a good thing we didn't go together. I find that yard too dirty to even stay in."
"You are stupid. If she doesn't go, how can you and I sit here so leisurely now?"
"Too--"
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, his heart moved slightly.
The woman next door?
He had seen it before. Once, the woman came over with her son, saying that she was here to entertain Xizhi, but in fact, she came over to get some free food...
He didn't care about it before, but now he feels that every action of Xizhi may have a deeper meaning.
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng leaped and landed silently on the wall of the next courtyard. He listened carefully and heard faint voices talking in the house.
Lu Yunzheng frowned and landed lightly under the window of the main house. He put his ear close to it and heard Gu Xizhi's voice coming softly:
"Mother Mo, have you brought the things?"
