Chapter 6 I have a share
After Ji Wan finished saying these words, she quickly stepped forward and hugged Shen Jiasui tightly, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Her years were so innocent.
Shen Jiasui naturally felt a lot of grievances in his heart, but compared to the hatred of his entire family being executed, these grievances were nothing.
Seeing Ji Wan being so cruel, Gu Xizhi turned her head to look at Shen Zhengsheng and cried out with tears in her eyes: "Godfather..."
Shen Zhengsheng shook his head slowly. He was more heartbroken than anyone else.
He didn't understand whether he had corrupted Gu Xizhi or whether human nature was evil, and even he was fooled by Gu Xizhi!
Seeing that Shen Zhengsheng, who had always loved her, also ignored her, Gu Xizhi was completely thrown into disarray at this moment.
She is scared...
She was afraid that once today's incident was exposed, the Lu family would not let her in.
After all, without the Shen family, she would be nothing more than an insignificant orphan.
Gu Xizhi bit her lip.
no!
She has worked hard for so many years, and no matter what, she must marry into the Lu family as the daughter of General Dingguo!
Thinking of this, Gu Xizhi slowly raised her head, and the usual weakness on her face faded away bit by bit at this moment.
"Godmother."
Gu Xizhi looked at Ji Wan who was standing with Shen Jiasui, with a hint of coldness in her eyes.
"You always say that you love me and pity me, but the husband you chose for Sui Sui is Yun Zheng, a rare talent, and the one you chose for me is your nephew from your mother's family."
"Is this what you call equal treatment? Suisui can marry the eldest son of the general, but I am only worthy of marrying the unknown second son of the Bo family!"
"Besides, if Sui Sui really must be with Yun Zheng, then she should be on guard against me and keep a close eye on Yun Zheng!"
"You can't force feelings. Yun Zheng and I love each other. If you really love me, godmother, you should be thinking about how to let me take Sui Sui's place and marry into the Lu family in a legitimate way!"
When Ji Wan heard Gu Xizhi say this with confidence, her eyes widened with anger. Only at this moment did she realize how ridiculous all her years of hard work were.
The eldest nephew is the eldest son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis and has already started a family. Although the second nephew cannot inherit the title, he is a very good child with great literary talent and a gentle personality.
She chose her second nephew after careful selection. Once Xizhi marries him, her brother and sister-in-law will definitely treat her well because of her relationship, and she will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of her life.
She worried about Xizhi, but it turned out that Xizhi was arrogant and looked down on the second son of the Earl of Zhongyong!
Gu Xizhi didn't want to see Ji Wan's reaction, so she turned to Shen Zhengsheng and said:
"Godfather, you have always been very good to Xizhi. I know that you must be disappointed in me after this incident."
"But please don't forget that my father lost his life to save you, and my mother left me because of that. It's all because of you that I became an orphan with no one to rely on."
"As the ancients said, a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, let alone a life-saving grace from heaven?"
"So, the wealth and prominence of the General's Mansion today should be shared by me, Gu Xizhi. No matter what I do, you have no right to blame me, because all of this was earned for me by my parents with their lives!"
Apparently, Gu Xizhi had accumulated a lot of resentment in her heart over the years, and it finally came out all at once today.
In her anger, her beautiful face was slightly distorted, revealing a bit of madness.
Shen Zhengsheng had never seen Gu Xizhi like this before, and he couldn't help but feel surprised and unfamiliar.
Even Lu Yunzheng who was standing by was stunned and didn't react for a long time.
After all, in everyone's eyes, Gu Xizhi has always been gentle and weak, speaking softly, and being kind to everyone, beautiful and innocent.
After Gu Xizhi finished speaking, she felt a surge of pleasure in her heart, but she soon noticed Lu Yunzheng's abnormality and her expression changed slightly.
The next moment she suddenly bent over and started coughing violently again, making her already thin body look even weaker and more helpless.
Lu Yunzheng came back to his senses immediately, and held her with a distressed look, "Xizhi, how are you?"
Seeing Gu Xizhi trembling with coughing and red eyes, and no one from the Shen family came forward to show concern, Lu Yunzheng felt sorry for Gu Xizhi. He immediately looked around and said in a cold voice:
“Xizhi, don’t be afraid. Even if the Shen family is ungrateful, you still have me!”
Ji Wan's heart sank when she heard what Gu Xizhi had just said. Just as she was about to speak, Shen Jiasui patted her hand and stepped forward.
"One thousand nine hundred and sixty-three." Shen Jiasui said in a cold voice.
At this time, Gu Xizhi stopped coughing for a while, and Lu Yunzheng raised his head, frowned and said impatiently: "Shen Jiasui, what are you talking about?"
Shen Jiasui looked directly at Lu Yunzheng and Gu Xizhi, and said slowly: "This is the number of soldiers and generals who died in the battle where Gu Xizhi's father, Lieutenant General Gu, died."
Lu Yunzheng's expression froze when he heard this, but Shen Jiasui continued, "The Shen family has always been grateful for Vice General Gu's kindness. We have also been trying our best to compensate Gu Xizhi over the years. We have devoted our whole heart and soul to this."
"But this is not a reason for Gu Xizhi to repay a favor and stab us in the back!"
"Lu Yunzheng, you were born in a family of generals. You should know as well as I do that defending the country is the duty of a general! The moment they rush to the battlefield, all generals have already put life and death aside. Even if they die on the battlefield, they will have no regrets!"
"When my father went to war, he said goodbye to us every time. Although it was unlucky, he even left his last words early on. Because my father never regarded returning alive as a goal, but he only wanted to protect the country for one more day and kill one more enemy!"
"Lu Yunzheng, isn't your father, General Lu, the same? If you don't have this awareness, I advise you to give up the path of a military officer as soon as possible, because you are not worthy of it!"
Shen Jiasui looked directly into Lu Yunzheng's eyes, and every word he said was powerful.
Lu Yunzheng was stimulated by Shen Jiasui's fierce momentum, and his expression changed several times.
At this time, Shen Jiasui looked at Gu Xizhi again, and seeing that she was still unconvinced, his tone became even colder.
"Gu Xizhi, do you know how my father lost his left arm?"
"Sui Sui!"
At this time, Shen Zhengsheng suddenly spoke out to stop him.
However, Shen Jiasui did not respond to his father, but instead coldly revealed the truth of that year.
"In that battle, it was your father, Lieutenant General Gu, who led the team that fell into an ambush. My father heard the news and led his troops to rescue them. In order to save your father's life, he was hit in the left arm by a poisonous arrow."
"Then the army retreated, and the enemy pursued them, shooting poisonous arrows at my father. At this time, Deputy General Gu rushed over and blocked a poisonous arrow for my father, which resulted in his death."
"I say this not to deny your father's kindness, but I cannot bear to see you use kindness as a threat and trample on the sincerity of my Shen family with a clear conscience!"
