Chapter 3 Willing to Marry
"By the way, when you tell the Second Miss about this, remember to be tactful and don't scare her."
Ji Wan thought about it and added with concern.
Gu Xizhi has been called the Second Miss in the mansion over the years.
Bai Shuang was the head maidservant beside Ji Wan. She was naturally considerate and left as soon as she was told.
At this time, while his parents were still scolding Lu Yunzheng, Shen Jiasui quickly walked to Bai Ji, leaned close to her ear, and whispered something.
Baiji widened his eyes upon hearing this and looked at his young lady in shock.
However, Shen Jiasui held Baiji's hand tightly and nodded solemnly.
Baiji has followed Shen Jiasui since he was a child. He is courageous and his loyalty is unquestionable.
Seeing that the young lady had suffered a great humiliation today, Baiji was worried that she could not help her solve her problems. Although she did not understand the young lady's intention at this time, she still nodded firmly, turned around and left Yong'an Hall.
When Shen Jiasui came back, he saw his mother looking at him with concern, so he forced a smile and said softly:
"Mom, I'm still worried about Xizhi, so I'll let Baiji go with me to comfort her."
Ji Wan saw that Shen Jiasui had suffered a great injustice, but still did not forget to protect Gu Xizhi. Such a good daughter was let down. Her eyes immediately turned red and she comforted her softly:
"It's okay, Suisui. There are many good men in the world. Let's keep looking. If Suisui doesn't want to find one, your parents will support you for the rest of your life!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui leaned on Ji Wan's shoulder, feeling a sharp pain in his nose.
"Dad and Mom, your daughter will stay by your side forever."
"Okay, okay."
Ji Wan gently stroked Shen Jiasui's back, and there was a hint of moisture in her voice.
Here, when Lu Yunzheng knew that Gu Xizhi was coming, his heart was already flying away.
In his previous life, he returned triumphantly from the border, clearing away all obstacles between him and Xizhi. He thought that he could finally be with Xizhi forever.
But no matter how much she planned, she never expected that her mother could not trap Shen Jiasui at all, and she actually let her follow her to the Jingxi Villa.
At that time, Xizhi saw herself die in front of her, and she didn't know how to feel grief and fear...
When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng's longing and pity for Gu Xizhi reached its peak.
His eyes were fixed on the entrance to the yard, refusing to move away even a bit.
Half a minute later, a slender figure finally appeared in everyone's sight.
The person who came had a pretty face, her brows were slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be a little sad. When she looked up at this side, her long eyelashes flickered, and her eyes were clear and innocent, which was very lovable.
The only person following her was Bai Shuang.
At this moment, everyone had no time to care about why Baiji, who was sent by Shen Jiasui, did not come with them, because Gu Xizhi's eyes were red and she walked hurriedly, looking even more pitiful.
"Cherish the branch!"
Lu Yunzheng couldn't help himself and shouted loudly from afar. This shout was full of affection, which made Gu Xizhi look towards him suddenly.
When their eyes met, there seemed to be some unspeakable emotion surging, but Gu Xizhi quickly looked away.
On the other side, Shen Jiasui stared at Gu Xizhi closely, unwilling to miss the slightest change in expression on her face. After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that Gu Xizhi had not been reborn.
Don’t worry, wait and see.
At this time, Gu Xizhi had already walked to Shen Jiasui's side. With tears in her eyes, she held Shen Jiasui's hand tightly and said in a trembling voice:
"Sui Sui, you have been wronged."
Even if he were to live his life over again, Shen Jiasui still had to admire Gu Xizhi's acting skills.
In his previous life, Lu Yunzheng did not dare to break off the engagement due to many concerns. This time, he finally plucked up the courage to propose to Gu Xizhi directly. With such a passionate love, I'm afraid Gu Xizhi must be overjoyed at this moment.
Isn't it just acting?
Shen Jiasui shook his head, "Xizhi, I'm fine. It's a blessing to be able to see a person clearly before getting married."
"It's just Xizhi. Lu Yunzheng keeps saying that he loves you. I know you never say anything bad to him. You are not the kind of person who would betray your sisters and be punished by lightning."
"Hurry up and explain everything to him, and then Mom and Dad will order someone to beat him out with sticks. From now on, we will have nothing to do with him anymore, and there is no need for us to see each other again!"
When Gu Xizhi heard Shen Jiasui gritting his teeth and saying "If you betray your sisters, God will punish you with lightning", her eyelids twitched slightly.
No connection anymore, no need to meet each other?
How is that possible? She wants to be with Yun Zheng forever.
Gu Xizhi frowned and did not respond immediately.
Shen Jiasui was anxious when he saw this. "Xizhi, what's wrong with you? Could it be that... Could it be that you also..."
"Sui Sui, don't worry, Xizhi might be a little scared."
Ji Wan stepped forward at the right time, gently patted Gu Xizhi's shoulder, and then said in a gentle voice:
"Don't be afraid, Xizhi. Your godfather and godmother support you. Just reject him. We won't see him again."
Shen Zhengsheng on the side also nodded encouragingly.
When Shen Jiasui saw his mother speaking for Gu Xizhi, he sighed imperceptibly, but he also knew that haste makes waste.
Dad and Mom trust Gu Xizhi too much, and their desire to protect her is self-evident. Wasn’t she the same in her previous life?
However, this time she has solid evidence!
Gu Xizhi nodded slightly, then turned to look at Lu Yunzheng not far away. When their eyes met, they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.
The next moment, Gu Xizhi suddenly started coughing rapidly, as if she was overwhelmed with guilt, and she covered her mouth and sobbed softly:
"It's all my fault. My godfather and godmother were so kind to take me in, and Suisui treated me like a sister, but I...I got into this kind of trouble."
"Xizhi, this is not your fault!"
Ji Wan hurried forward and hugged Gu Xizhi, who was trembling with tears, into her arms.
But Gu Xizhi seemed to be very self-blaming and she was crying so hard that she was gasping for breath, as if she was going to faint at the next moment.
She had been weak since childhood, and her mood often fluctuated greatly, so she had this kind of situation. That was why Ji Wan was so careful when she asked Bai Shuang to invite her just now.
"Cherish the branches! Cherish the branches!"
Ji Wan was extremely worried and scared, so she asked Bai Shuang to call the palace doctor immediately.
Shen Zhengsheng saw that his family was in chaos because of Lu Yunzheng, and his two daughters were so angry that they wanted to chase him away.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Gu Xizhi raised her head from Ji Wan's arms with sobs, and said something shocking:
"Godfather, godmother, Xizhi is willing to marry!"
When Shen Jiasui heard this, he raised his lips coldly from behind, but Shen Zhengsheng and Ji Wan were stunned.
"Xizhi, what did you say?"
Gu Xizhi took a breath, and then she spoke with tears in her eyes, "Godfather, godmother, Xizhi can't be so selfish. The border is not peaceful now, and godfather has lost an arm. Once the war starts, the royal family will still rely on General Lu."
"Since General Lu has the intention to marry, and Master Lu is so persistent, let Xizhi marry him. This will continue the friendship between the two families and will not embarrass Godfather and General Lu."
"Godfather and Godmother have raised me for so many years, and I feel I have no way to repay them. This way, I can live the rest of my life in peace without regrets or complaints."
Having said this, Gu Xizhi closed her eyes slightly, tears streaming down her face.
When Lu Yunzheng in front heard this, the pity and admiration in his heart almost overflowed.
As expected, Xizhi was smart and acted more thoughtfully than him. Even he was moved by her words.
Seeing that Gu Xizhi was so concerned about the overall situation and was willing to take the Shen family into consideration even if it meant she would suffer all kinds of grievances, Shen Zhengsheng and his wife felt even more pity and love for her, and they all said:
“No!”
Ji Wan raised her eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "Xizhi, General Lu used to be your godfather's subordinate. If he were here at this moment, he would definitely not let Lu Yunzheng act so recklessly."
"If he dares to protect Lu Yunzheng and break the contract, our Shen family is not afraid of him at all!"
"Don't worry, Xizhi. You and Suisui don't have to get married. Godmother will never let you suffer any injustice!"
Gu Xizhi shook her head repeatedly upon hearing this, and held Ji Wan's hand tightly, crying:
"Godmother, no, Xizhi is definitely not willing to see the two families become enemies. If General Lu and Master Lu become separated because of this, Xizhi will not bear it."
"Let Xizhi marry him, and let this dispute end with Xizhi alone!"
Shen Jiasui watched Gu Xizhi's eloquence as she manipulated her parents' hearts step by step. He couldn't help but feel frightened when he thought that such a person who was good at disguise was with them day and night.
She couldn't help but wonder, whether the evidence of the Shen family's crimes presented by Lu Yunzheng in the previous life was also the work of Gu Xizhi?
After all, she knew Daddy very well, but Daddy was completely defenseless against her!
Thinking of this, Shen Jiasui turned his head anxiously and looked outside the yard.
Just at this moment, Baiji came hurriedly over here holding a box.
Shen Jiasui's eyes lit up.
It's finally here!
