Chapter 53 The Blessing of a Family
"Why, have you changed your mind?"
Shen Jiasui asked back with sarcasm on his face.
Seeing that Shen Jiasui did not deny it, Lu Yunzheng became more clear-headed.
Shen Jiasui is a person who never shows weakness easily. This kind of strong and stubborn appearance is really her style.
"If I don't change my mind, what will you do? Will you keep waiting? Since you want to get married so much, why do you have to pretend to be cold now?"
"Didn't you find out today that my mother would come to the Jokhang Temple, and that's why you followed me eagerly, wanting to see me?"
"Now that I have fulfilled your wish and am standing in front of you, your pretentiousness will only push me further away."
After hearing these words, Shen Jiasui knew that his performance in front of Mrs. Lu that day was not in vain. However, he did not expect that Lu Yunzheng was so self-indulgent that he had imagined so much.
She glanced at Lu Yunzheng and sneered:
"I waited for you? What a joke!"
"What do you mean by coming to me and saying these things today? Did you have a falling out with Gu Xizhi?"
When he heard the name "Gu Xizhi", a hint of guilt flashed across Lu Yunzheng's eyes. After all, he came here without Gu Xizhi's knowledge.
Thinking of this, he looked back the way he came with some trepidation, but then he told himself that he was just here to test Shen Jiasui.
"Xizhi and I have a deep affection for each other, which is unmatched by others. I am saying these words today only because we have known each other for many years. I am here to advise you not to have any unnecessary fantasies about me."
When Shen Jiasui heard this, he almost sneered out loud.
This is a very high-sounding statement.
It's just that he can't let go of Gu Xizhi's tenderness, but he also wants her Shen family's help. He wants both!
"What a coincidence. I just thought it through a few days ago. If you hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have almost forgotten that there was such a person as you in the capital."
"If you don't agree with me, please get out of the way."
Today's meeting probably dispelled Lu Yunzheng's suspicion of her. Shen Jiasui originally planned to alienate Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi.
But Gu Xizhi was late in coming, and she had lost interest in dealing with Lu Yunzheng.
Seeing that Lu Yunzheng didn't move, Shen Jiasui raised his eyebrows and pulled Baiji and walked straight forward.
Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng took a step to the left, but when Shen Jiasui walked to his side, he suddenly stretched out his arm to block his way and said in a calm voice:
"Shen Jiasui, don't play hard to get. This is the last chance I'm giving you."
He was a man who cherished his family, but the current situation was really unfavorable. Perhaps he could reluctantly go back to the path he had taken in his previous life.
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiasui turned his head to look at Lu Yunzheng, a hint of disbelief flashed across his eyes, but soon he showed interest.
"You give me a chance? What about Gu Xizhi?"
Lu Yunzheng had obviously considered this, and said without hesitation: "Xizhi will naturally not be wronged, she must be on an equal footing with you."
He married Shen Jiasui just to correct the current deviation. Xizhi is understanding and believes that as long as he explains it carefully, Xizhi will understand him.
You know, Xizhi was willing to follow him even though she had no status or position in her previous life, but in this life he directly made Xizhi his second wife.
"oh--"
Shen Jiasui responded meaningfully.
Lu Yunzheng thought that Shen Jiasui agreed so impatiently, and a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He had said it long ago that Shen Jiasui was just playing hard to get.
"In that case, go back and tell your uncle and aunt——"
"Hey, don't be impatient."
Shen Jiasui waved his hand, then pointed to the right, and said with a smile: "You want to enjoy the happiness of having two wives, why don't you ask her if she agrees?"
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, he suddenly had a bad feeling and looked in the direction of Shen Jiasui's finger.
I saw Gu Xizhi holding up her skirt with one hand and supporting the tree trunk with the other, looking over here intently.
People who practice martial arts have excellent eyesight. Lu Yunzheng could even see Gu Xizhi's chest heaving and her breathing becoming rapid. When she looked over here, her face was pale and her eyes were filled with tears.
Shen Jiasui raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and suddenly added: "Why don't you put your hands down?"
Only then did Lu Yunzheng realize that he had been raising his arm. From the direction Xizhi was looking at him, she might have thought that he was putting his arm around Shen Jiasui.
His heart trembled and he cried out that something was wrong.
I thought I had plenty of time to meet Shen Jiasui, but I didn't expect Xizhi to come to me so soon.
"Cherish the branch!"
Lu Yunzheng shouted loudly and hurried forward to explain.
But the next moment, Shen Jiasui raised his foot and tripped Lu Yunzheng right on the spot.
Lu Yunzheng's entire attention was on Gu Xizhi. He was so panicked and frightened that he didn't even pay attention to his feet and immediately stumbled forward.
When he stood up again, Gu Xizhi had already turned and left, and he could only vaguely catch a glimpse of a piece of her clothes.
Lu Yunzheng suddenly turned around and shouted angrily: "Shen Jiasui, you!"
"You just said you would give me a chance, but why do you ignore it as soon as you saw Gu Xizhi?" Shen Jiasui tilted his head and said slowly.
Lu Yunzheng gritted his teeth and was about to say something, but Shen Jiasui calmly raised his chin in the direction where Gu Xizhi left and said calmly:
"If I remember correctly, that place... doesn't seem to be one we can go to, right?"
Lu Yunzheng turned his head and took a look, then he realized that the direction was the "Honorable Temple" that only royal relatives could enter.
"hateful!"
Lu Yunzheng no longer wanted to get entangled with Shen Jiasui, so he ran quickly in the direction where Gu Xizhi left.
It was only at this time that Mrs. Lu and Mother Zhao finally arrived.
Mrs. Lu opened her mouth, but before she could shout, Lu Yunzheng had disappeared.
Shen Jiasui naturally noticed the person coming, and her brows slightly frowned.
It seemed like Madam Lu and Gu Xizhi arrived at the same time. So, did Lu Yunzheng really let Gu Xizhi meet Madam Lu alone?
Considering that Gu Xizhi had coaxed Madam Lu into calling her a "good daughter-in-law" all the time in her previous life, Shen Jiasui always felt that it was very likely that Madam Lu had been fooled by Gu Xizhi again.
At this time, Mrs. Lu also saw Shen Jiasui.
If it was before today, she would have definitely endured the annoyance and stepped forward to coax Shen Jiansui, but now she just glanced at him and looked away.
Since Zheng'er doesn't need the help from the Shen family at all, why should she flatter Shen Jiasui?
She still remembers clearly how Ji Wan treated her coldly last time she went to the Shen family to apologize!
Mother Zhao advised, "Madam, it seems that the young master is really here to see Miss Shen. Has the young master...changed his mind again?"
"After all, give her some space in front of others. It would be good if you could just nod to Miss Shen."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, she felt that it made some sense, so she looked at Shen Jiasui again.
Unexpectedly, Shen Jiasui and Bai Ji had already left. They walked briskly and seemed quite happy.
Mrs. Lu's face darkened, and she felt even more disgusted with Shen Jiasui.
