Chapter 22 Miss Gu is in danger
At the beginning of the afternoon at the time of Shen, at General Zhaoyong’s mansion.
Madam Lu was lying on her back on the couch, and a maid was carefully massaging her head.
Mother Zhao held a note in her hand and hurried into the main house, saying, "Madam, I found it!"
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu suddenly opened her eyes, pushed the maid away, and sat up.
"Where?"
When asking this question, Mrs. Lu's face was full of sternness.
Mother Zhao quickly unfolded the note, on which was clearly written: Ronghua Lane, West Beijing.
Madam Lu sneered, “Let’s go!”
The maid hurried forward and helped Mrs. Lu put on her outer gown.
Seeing this, Madam Zhao advised: "Madam, she is just a cheap girl without a father or a mother, and she has severed her relationship with the Shen family. It is enough for me to go. Why do you have to make this trip?"
"You didn't sleep a wink last night. Take some rest. I promise to do everything perfectly."
When Mrs. Lu saw Mother Zhao nagging at her, the stern look on her face slowly faded away, and she couldn't help but sigh.
"Mother Zhao, even you know you care about me. Look at Zheng Er, he is really obsessed with that girl named Gu."
"I have worked so hard for him since he was little, and I have to be on guard against Zhou Fu's hidden attacks all the time. He is about to get through this, but he is so ignorant."
"I have to do this myself. I have to get Zheng'er to come back tonight and admit his mistake to her husband. I'll go to the Shen family to make amends tomorrow. There's still time for everything."
While they were talking, Mrs. Lu had already dressed.
She had made up her mind, and she boarded the carriage and left the house with Mother Zhao and the four maids who had signed the death contract.
Aunt Zhou got the news immediately, and Mother Lin was so anxious that she couldn't sit still.
"Aunt, if Madam really gets it done this time, the young master's marriage to the Shen family might still be possible. Should we... stop it?"
Aunt Zhou looked calm, and she stuffed a small porcelain bottle into Mother Lin's hand and said in a gentle voice:
"Mother Lin, please take this plaster to the Imperial College and take care of Sheng'er for me. Tell him not to get involved in anything and just focus on his studies."
Mother Lin: “Huh?”
"Go quickly."
Aunt Zhou urged.
Mother Lin clenched the ointment, looking confused, but still out of trust in her aunt, she nodded and went out.
When no one was around, Aunt Zhou sighed and said to herself:
"Miss Shen is really capable. I didn't expect that she would get the upper hand in this deal..."
Even Mother Lin is clamoring to take action. Once something happens to Lu Yunzheng, when they come to their senses, won’t she be the first person to suspect?
It was clearly Miss Shen who did it, but she tried to clear herself of all blame.
Aunt Zhou shook her head helplessly, but soon a light flashed in her beautiful eyes again.
If Miss Shen didn't take action today, she wouldn't just stand by and watch, so it wouldn't be unfair.
It's worth taking the blame in exchange for a smart "accomplice" hiding in the dark.
After all, all she can rely on are some tricks in the harem, and she just hopes Miss Shen won't let her down in the future...

When the carriage drove out of General Zhaoyong's mansion, the people waiting outside the mansion were dazzled.
"Third brother, you follow me. Sixth brother, you go to the command center to pass on the message. I will go back and report to the young lady."
"yes!"
————
East City Military Command.
Unlike most children of high-ranking officials in the capital who chose to enter the Imperial Academy, Lu Yunzheng, as the son of General Zhaoyong and with a talent for martial arts, entered the Five Cities Military Department for training at an early age.
Now he is a deputy commander of the East City Military Command.
Yesterday, the controversy over the cancellation of the engagement between the Shen and Lu families caused a lot of uproar. Today, when Lu Yunzheng was on duty, he was surrounded by his colleagues and subordinates and was questioned non-stop.
Lu Yunzheng was a man who knew what was going on. He knew that if he wanted to achieve great success in the future, he had to have a firm foothold on the command department as a springboard, so he avoided talking about personal matters.
Seeing that he never said a bad word about Miss Shen, everyone tacitly accepted the accusation of being a traitor, and instead praised him for being not only a romantic man, but also a man of courage.
After all, General Dingguo is deeply favored by God and has a good reputation. If Lu Yunzheng becomes his son-in-law, the Shen and Lu families will join forces, and his future will be even brighter.
He really gave up a lot for the adopted daughter of the Shen family.
Lu Yunzheng was very pleased with the praise from everyone. Thinking that he would make a contribution while on duty soon and catch that person's eye, he became more confident of success.
You see, even without the Shen family, he can still rise to prominence. By then, his father will regret his decision yesterday and call him back home in a nice voice.
In this way, he can marry Xizhi openly...
Whenever Lu Yunzheng thought about Gu Xizhi waiting for him in the villa after his shift, he felt warm in his heart and full of energy.
"Stop chatting and go patrol the city."
Lu Yunzheng urged everyone to disperse, with a righteous look on his face, and reminded them to perform their duties conscientiously.
The subordinates nodded repeatedly and flattered Lu Yunzheng again, but when they turned around, their faces sank.
Many of them are over thirty years old. They have worked hard and conscientiously all their lives, and at best they can only be a city patrol lieutenant.
But before Lu Yunzheng reached the age of twenty, he had already become their deputy commander because of his family background. Moreover, this position was just a starting point for Lu Yunzheng.
Everyone was already resentful, and Lu Yunzheng's decision to break off the engagement made them feel even more ashamed.
Romantic?
Pooh!
It's obvious that he is fickle and treacherous!
Everyone exchanged glances secretly, and as they were leaving the command center, they suddenly saw a man running towards them with a panicked look on his face.
The patrol captain was in charge of East City's security. He thought something had happened, so he immediately stepped forward and asked in a hurry, "Why are you here to see the Command?"
The person who came has already shouted: "I am looking for Master Lu, Deputy Commander Lu! Madam Lu is looking for trouble with Miss Gu, Miss Gu is in danger!"
This guy has a really loud voice, and his pronunciation is clear and clear, so everyone can hear it clearly.
The captains patrolling the city were shocked when they heard this and turned around to see Lu Yunzheng with a livid face, almost running out.
"What did you say!?"
Lu Yunzheng immediately grabbed the collar of the person who sent the message and questioned through gritted teeth.
The man looked frightened, his legs softened immediately, and he stammered, "Yes... Miss Gu sent me here to ask for help. Madam Lu is very aggressive and brought many maids with her. Miss Gu is afraid that..."
"hateful!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzheng threw the man aside, snatched the horse that was led by a captain, and jumped on the horse in an instant.
The captain's face changed when he saw this, and he kindly said, "Deputy Commander, if you want to leave temporarily, you must report to the commander, otherwise it will be considered as deserting your post without permission!"
Don't forget, you just told us to do our duty...
Of course, the captain didn't dare to say this out loud.
However, Lu Yunzheng frowned at this time, and his mind was full of Gu Xizhi's weak and helpless appearance.
Whenever Lu Yunzheng thought about how his mother would embarrass Gu Xizhi in order to force him to compromise, he became extremely anxious and confused.
"Tell the commander for me!"
Lu Yunzheng threw down these words and galloped out on his horse.
