Chapter 21 Rival's Rival
Baiji had only walked halfway when Aunt Lin, who was by Aunt Zhou's side, came to pick her up in person.
It can be seen that Aunt Zhou knew exactly what happened in the mansion.
As Bai Jifang stepped into the yard, Aunt Zhou came out to greet him with a smile on her face and was very polite.
Baiji followed Shen Jiansui's instructions, said some polite words, and took out the letter from his arms.
When Aunt Zhou heard that Lu Yunsheng was punched by Shen Jiaheng, there was no change on her face. She took the letter with a smile and started reading it on the spot.
Baiji felt a little unsure.
She watched the young lady write this letter, and she knew the contents of it, which were just some ordinary words. She didn't know what the young lady's intention was.
After reading the letter carefully, Aunt Zhou said in a gentle voice, "Miss Shen is too polite. It is normal for young people to play around with each other. I am flattered that you even asked the young lady to come here in person."
"Mother Lin, Yan Mo, Miss Chen is so polite, I must not be rude."
After a while, Baiji left the house with Madam Lin, carrying the reply letter from Aunt Zhou.
......
Mother Lin hurried back to the yard and asked impatiently, "Aunt, what does Miss Shen mean?"
Aunt Zhou was lying on the beauty couch, fanning herself from time to time, and asked instead of answering:
"How's the main house going?"
Speaking of this, Mother Lin became very excited.
"On the way back just now, I happened to receive the news that the man was so angry that he threw a lot of things. It seemed that he wanted to go out and look for the adopted daughter of the Shen family immediately."
When Mother Lin said this, she also reacted and said in surprise, "Could it be that Miss Shen's action was intended to anger Madam and provoke Madam to take action against the adopted daughter?"
"But in this way, Miss Shen has also offended Madam. I'm afraid her life will not be easy when she marries into the family in the future."
Mother Lin naturally believed that Shen Jiasui tried every means to deal with Gu Xizhi in order to win back Lu Yunzheng.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhou placed the fan in her hand on the couch and sneered, "Mother Lin, do you also think that Lu Yunzheng is a treasure?"
"The marriage between the two families was arranged by the general who shamelessly went to the Shen family to ask for it. Miss Shen is the daughter of a general and has a noble status. How can she be married to Lu Yunzheng?"
"And she's so smart..."
Mother Lin was listening attentively when Aunt Zhou suddenly stopped talking, which made her feel itchy inside.
She has been serving her aunt for twenty years and has truly followed a smart and worry-free master.
If there is anything bad about it, it is that her aunt is too smart, which makes her look particularly stupid and she can never guess what her aunt is thinking.
Aunt Zhou seemed unwilling to say anything more. She just twirled the fan in her hand, lowered her eyes and smiled.
"She thinks highly of me. She seems to know me very well."
"Well, the opponent of the opponent is a helper. I'm worried that I'm not strong enough..."
————
Baiji hurried back to the general's mansion and went straight to Chunhua Courtyard, where Shen Jiasui had been waiting for a long time.
"Where's the letter?"
Shen Jiasui smiled and reached out his hand towards Baiji.
Baiji was shocked when he heard this, and finally came to his senses at this moment.
"Miss, you wrote a trivial letter to Aunt Zhou just to give her a reason to write back?"
As Baiji spoke, he had already handed over the letter in his arms with both hands.
Shen Jiasui smiled and nodded, then opened the letter and started reading.
Seeing that Shen Jiasui was not avoiding him, Baiji moved his head over curiously.
This is quite remarkable, Aunt Zhou's reply is not simple at all!
Mrs. Lu's plan was clearly stated on it, even the whereabouts of Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi today and tomorrow were included.
Baiji couldn't help but widen his eyes and stammered, "Miss, this, this, this..."
Shen Jiasui folded the letter in his hand and a smile appeared on his face.
She had said long ago that Aunt Zhou was a rare smart person.
Everyone else thought that she still had feelings for Lu Yunzheng and hated Gu Xizhi for taking Lu Yunzheng away from her, but someone as clear-headed as Aunt Zhou would look beyond the love aspect and see her true intentions.
In the previous life, General Lu died on the battlefield. After the news was passed back to the Lu Mansion, Mrs. Lu cried heartbreakingly and Aunt Zhou also couldn't stop shedding tears.
But that night, she ran into Aunt Zhou packing her belongings.
She didn't call for help because she knew that once General Lu died, Madam Lu would not tolerate Aunt Zhou.
However, Aunt Zhou was so calm and composed that she couldn't help but ask, "Aunt Zhou, what do you think of General Lu..."
After all, General Lu has been giving Aunt Zhou enough love and respect for twenty years.
Aunt Zhou tidied up her hair, and at that moment she smiled with tears in her eyes.
"Madam, the general has given me the foundation and the place to stay. I respect and love the general, but I love myself more and the two children I have with the general."
"Now that he is gone, I will still live well, and from now on, I will always think of him..."
Thinking about it now, Aunt Zhou's words still made her feel emotional.
Let's get back to the point. Since she showed no mercy to Madam Lu today, Aunt Zhou would naturally see that she was completely at odds with Lu Yunzheng and his mother.
Whether she was seeking revenge or venting her anger, to Aunt Zhou, the enemy of her enemy is her friend.
Aunt Zhou is very favored in the Lu family. She has her own people and sources of information. If we form an alliance with Aunt Zhou, it will naturally be twice as easy to deal with Lu Yunzheng.
After all, as the eldest son of the Lu family, Lu Yunzheng will have to return to the Lu Mansion one day.
Shen Jiasui was still immersed in his own thoughts. At this time, Bai Ji asked cautiously:
"Miss, now that we know Mrs. Lu's plan, what should we do now?"
Shen Jiasui came back to his senses, tapped the letter lightly with his fingertips, and then raised his lips and asked:
"Baiji, do you still remember where Lu Yunzheng worked?"
Bai Ji nodded immediately, "Remember, it's the East City Command Division of the Five Cities Military Division!"
Shen Jiasui smiled and nodded Baiji's head, then said, "Didn't Daddy say yesterday that half of the guards in the front yard would be assigned to me for deployment?"
"Go and tell them what I mean. Select two groups of people to go out. One group will keep a close eye on the Lu residence, and the other group will wait at the Military Command Office in East City."
"Once Madam Lu leaves, just send our people to the Command Center to report to Lu Yunzheng that Gu Xizhi is in danger."
"Remember... pick one with a louder voice."
Shen Jiasui thought about it and added meaningfully.
Mrs. Lu would definitely capture Gu Xizhi while Lu Yunzheng was still on duty. She wanted to let everyone in the command center know that not only did Lu Yunzheng leave his post for Gu Xizhi, but he also had a complete falling out with his family.
Baiji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly, not forgetting to make a small suggestion:
"Miss, we have to order one more person to follow Madam Lu to listen outside the courtyard rented by Lu Yunzheng, otherwise we will miss a good show!"
When Shen Jiasui heard this, the smile on his face widened a little.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. Go ahead."
Baiji cheered and walked out quickly.
Shen Jiasui leaned back in his chair, his brows slightly curved, but the smile soon faded.
Don't rush, take it one step at a time.
She wanted to make Lu Yunzheng lose power slowly, and then make him angry and desperate, forcing him to take the risk of looking for the person behind the scenes in advance to seek cooperation.
She waited to unmask the man!
