Chapter 5 Discovering that I was cheated
Baiji's words were incoherent, and everyone turned to look at her. Shen Jiasui even asked, "Baiji, what are you talking about?"
Bai Ji shook her head and said anxiously, "Miss, I am not talking nonsense. This is what I found in the Second Miss's room. We have all been deceived by the Second Miss!"
Baiji said this and raised the box he had been holding in his hand.
When Gu Xizhi heard this, she turned her head suddenly and a hint of horror flashed in her eyes.
But soon, she forced herself to calm down.
She didn't recognize the box; it wasn't in her room at all.
Besides, she hid those things very carefully and would never be found by others, let alone a dishonest little maid.
"Baiji, you...what do you mean?"
Gu Xizhi's face was pale and she asked in a crying voice. Perhaps because her emotions were fluctuating too much, her whole body was shaking weakly.
Lu Yunzheng couldn't bear to see his beloved being wronged, so he immediately stood up and supported Gu Xizhi, and said coldly:
"How dare a lowly servant slander her master!"
"Uncle, aunt, is this how you treat Xizhi as your own flesh and blood? Are you going to watch Xizhi being bullied by a maid?"
"If you don't want to teach this maid a lesson, Yun Zheng doesn't mind doing it for you!"
He said this urgently and sternly, as if he was the master of General Dingguo's Mansion.
Bai Ji had already received Shen Jiasui's hint and knew that the time was ripe, so he opened the box without saying a word, revealing a thick stack of letters inside.
"If I really made a mistake, the master, the mistress, and the young lady will punish me. You, an outsider like you, Mr. Lu, will not be allowed to make comments!"
Baiji has some of Shen Jiasui's style. He is not afraid at all and continues to speak clearly and straightforwardly:
"Master and Madam, please look, this is what I found in the Second Young Lady's room!"
"It clearly states that the Second Miss and Mr. Lu have been secretly communicating with each other behind the young lady's back!"
"Master and Madam, the young lady...the young lady has suffered a great injustice. The second young lady is clearly the one who betrayed her sisters and deserves to be struck by lightning. And Mr. Lu is even more of a despicable villain who has lost his conscience and forgotten his loyalty for the sake of beauty!"
By the end of the story, Baiji had already broken down into tears.
Her young lady had been deceived so badly by Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi that she felt out of breath after just reading a few letters.
"What did you say!?"
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhengsheng and Ji Wan's eyes widened instantly. The couple quickly stepped forward, took out the letter from the box, and began to read it with trembling hands.
Shen Jiasui naturally put on a full show and staggered over.
Gu Xizhi and Lu Yunzheng looked at each other, and their expressions finally changed drastically!
At this time, Gu Xizhi no longer cared about pretending. She straightened up hurriedly and wanted to start an argument, but for a moment she didn't know where to start.
How is that possible?
She had clearly hidden those letters and keepsakes very secretly, so there was no way they would be discovered by outsiders. It was even more impossible for a maid who stole things to find them easily. And yet, they happened to be seen by Baiji.
When her thoughts reached this point, Gu Xizhi suddenly had an idea.
wrong!
Shen Jiasui is a stupid person. She and Yun Zheng disguised themselves very well. Over the past few years, Shen Jiasui has never discovered what is going on between her and Yun Zheng.
Furthermore, with Shen Jiasui's impulsive personality, if he had discovered the trick long ago, how could he have waited until the day Yun Zheng proposed marriage before taking action?
Could it be... Could it be that Shen Jiasui was jealous because Yun Zheng proposed to marry her, so she deliberately let Bai Ji act out this drama?
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi felt a little relieved.
Shen Jiasui is cheating her!
If she hadn't kept her composure, Shen Jiasui would have almost gotten what he wanted.
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi gave Lu Yunzheng a calming look, and then said quickly: "Godfather, godmother, Xizhi doesn't have it!"
"Bai Ji must have felt unfair for Sui Sui because of what Mr. Lu did today, so he resorted to this desperate measure."
"Xizhi can understand her loyalty to Suisui, but she slandered Xizhi like this, isn't Xizhi wronged and innocent?"
Lu Yunzheng got Gu Xizhi's hint and said hurriedly: "How dare a lowly maid use such a dirty trick!"
"Shen Jiasui, take care of your maid! It's fine if you don't trust me, but don't you trust Xizhi? She was so sincere to you, but you treated her so badly. How can you live with your conscience?"
Shen Jiasui turned his head and saw his parents still frantically looking through the letters in the box. He knew that they must have been under a huge shock and had not yet recovered.
The reason why she knew about the existence of these letters was because she was "thankful" to Lu Yunzheng's mother, who was her mother-in-law in her previous life - Mrs. Lu. x
Mrs. Lu never liked her, thinking that she was too ostentatious for a woman and not a good daughter-in-law to manage the household.
In the previous life, the Shen family fell. In order to prevent her from going out to appeal for justice, Mrs. Lu secretly drugged her and then mocked her.
"If he hadn't been afraid of the power of General Dingguo's Mansion, my son would have married Xizhi home long ago. Why would he bother to play along with a crude and reckless woman like you?"
When she suddenly heard the word "Xizhi", she raised her head in disbelief, thinking she had heard it wrong.
But Mrs. Lu smiled happily and threw a box of letters at her head.
When she saw the signature on the letter and the familiar handwriting, she felt like the sky was falling.
She knelt on the ground and opened letter after letter like crazy. Every word between the lines was filled with the deep affection between Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi, as well as their many plans, as well as ridicule and mockery of her.
She remembered word for word what Gu Xizhi wrote in the letter:
"I cherish the gift from Lu Lang. Every time I take it out to read it in the dead of night, I feel sweet in my heart. I dare not betray my lover's sincerity."
Therefore, she was certain that Gu Xizhi must have kept the letters and keepsakes between the two of them, so she came up with this plan.
Baiji is a careful user, and as expected she found it!
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi would not cry until they saw the coffin, Shen Jiasui grabbed something from the box and turned around.
"sincere?"
Shen Jiasui smiled sadly.
"I'm sincere to you two, but you have never been sincere to me!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xizhi hurried forward to explain, but Shen Jiasui had already spread out his right hand and displayed something.
"Lu Yunzheng, do you recognize what this is? This is your Lu family's ancestral black jade pendant with pearls and dragon pattern. There is also a word "Lu" engraved on the back."
"You gave this jade to Gu Xizhi, and the letter was full of love and affection. Do you think I will listen to your excuses?"
"Today I saw you two put on a big show. If Bai Ji hadn't happened to see these letters, my General Dingguo's Mansion would have married Gu Xizhi to your Lu Mansion in a grand ceremony!"
"People's hearts are so despicable that it sends chills down one's spine and gives one chills!"
The moment she saw the jade pendant, Gu Xizhi finally panicked.
Her heart trembled secretly, and she subconsciously shook her head to deny it, but Shen Jiasui's expression was cold and hard, and he refused to listen. She hurried to call Shen Zhengsheng and his wife.
"Godfather, godmother, Xizhi didn't, you believe it—"
"Shut up!"
Ji Wan suddenly turned her head, her red eyes looking as if she wanted to eat someone.
How much effort he had put into Gu Xizhi and how much love he had given her, yet how much hatred Ji Wan felt in her heart now!
The letters in the box made her almost vomit!
"Well, what a pair of shameless beasts who have had an affair without a matchmaker and have secretly given things to each other. They actually took advantage of the sincere gratitude of my general's mansion and bullied us to this extent!"
"I was actually prepared to bear the grievances just now, all for your sincerity!"
"Gu Xizhi, ah, Gu Xizhi..."
Ji Wan stared at Gu Xizhi and said word by word:
"Don't you want to marry Lu Yunzheng? Fine, I'll let you marry me!"
"From now on, everyone in the world should know how despicable and shameless you, Gu Xizhi, are. You and the unkind and unjust Lu Yunzheng are simply made for each other!"
The next moment, Ji Wan threw the box forward, and dozens of letters flew out, covering Gu Xizhi and Lu Yunzheng.
Gu Xizhi took a sudden step back.
She had never seen such a sad, angry and cruel expression on Ji Wan's face. At this moment, fear surged in her heart and she felt as if she had fallen into an icy cave.
Finished......
