Chapter 75: Not Rare Anymore
Lu Yunzheng left the Anyang Marquis' Mansion with a lot of anger. His thoughts were in a mess along the way. Whenever he thought about the possibility that Shen Jiasui might marry someone else, he felt extremely unwilling and disgusted.
He and Shen Jiasui had been married, even if they had not consummated their marriage, Shen Jiasui was already his in life and his in death!
If I had known this, I would not have broken off the engagement...
This was the nth time this thought had popped up in his mind since his rebirth.
Lu Yunzheng was filled with anger when he suddenly heard a cautious voice calling out, "Master?"
When Lu Yunzheng heard the voice, he looked up and realized that he had subconsciously ridden his horse back to General Zhaoyong's mansion. The person who called him was one of the subordinates who often followed his father.
His heart skipped a beat and he looked forward, only to see his father stop and turn his head to look at him.
Lu Yunzheng quickly turned over and dismounted, bowed to his father, and called out in a somewhat bewildered manner: "Dad——"
Lu Yongzhu saw Lu Yunzheng standing alone beside the horse. In the dim light, he looked quite lonely.
His heart suddenly softened.
After all, he was the son whom I had cultivated with great efforts and placed great hopes on...
But he was used to being strict with Lu Yunzheng, so he still frowned and said coldly:
"What? You can't make it out there, so you come back to admit your mistakes?"
Lu Yunzheng originally wanted to give in. After all, he was facing setbacks everywhere and was having a very unhappy time.
But at this moment, Lu Yongzhu provoked him with such words, and Lu Yunzheng instantly took back the soft words that were about to come out of his mouth, and chose to jump on the horse again.
When Lu Yongzhu saw this scene, he was immediately furious. He snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and turned to walk inside.
Lu Yunzheng clenched the reins tightly, hating his father for being so heartless and actually ignoring him.
He was about to turn his horse around, but Lu Yongzhu's subordinates were loyal after all. They hurried over and bravely stopped Lu Yunzheng, and advised him warmly:
"Master, the general is just tough on the outside but soft on the inside. In fact, the general has been asking us to find out about you these days because he is afraid that you might be wronged outside."
"You just need to go up to the general and say a few kind words to him, and he will calm down."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yunzheng looked at Lu Yongzhu's back in disbelief.
Does Daddy...really care about him that much?
He looked hesitant, and when he saw that Lu Yongzhu had really stopped, a light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he was about to dismount again.
But at this time, Lu Yongzhu shouted coldly:
"Sixteen, you're the one who's asking me to be nosy? Come over here!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinate Lu Shiliu was frightened and hurried away.
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, the light in his eyes instantly went out.
He still had extravagant hopes.
If his father really loved him, how could he have...
That’s all!
Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng's face gradually turned cold. He tightened the reins without hesitation, turned around and rode into the dark night.
Lu Yongzhu didn't expect that Lu Yunzheng would actually leave like this.
He turned his head suddenly, a flash of anger crossed his face, and then a trace of pity appeared.
Seeing this, Lu Shiliu couldn't help but sigh, "General, if you care about the young master, why did you just...?"
Lu Yongzhu slowly withdrew his gaze, and worry gradually emerged in his eyes.
"Sixteen, the traitors of the Mo Kingdom are determined to fight with our Sheng Kingdom. Yun Zheng is a good candidate to lead troops in battle, but he is impatient and easily gets carried away by his emotions on the battlefield."
"I don't want what happened to Vice General Gu to happen again. If Yun Zheng can't improve his character and take responsibility..."
"I would rather he live a life of mediocrity than lead an army into battle but fail to do the job, killing the men of our dynasty and causing the loss of our territory."
When Lu Yongzhu said this, a look of disappointment emerged on his face and he turned and went into the mansion.
Seeing this, Lu Shiliu couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
He knew that the general actually still had high expectations for the young master.
As the ancients said, a good father will not have a good son.
How could the general not hope that the young master could take up the banner in his hand, gallop across the battlefield, and defend his country?
But to be fair, all of their brothers felt that the young master's decision to break off the engagement with the Shen family was really...unkind.
————
It was already very late when Lu Yunzheng returned to the villa.
Now with the financial support from Mrs. Lu, he no longer has to worry about his livelihood.
This is also thanks to the conversation between Gu Xizhi and Mrs. Lu at the Jokhang Temple last time.
Just as Lu Yunzheng was thinking this, he pushed open the gate and unexpectedly saw that there was still light in Gu Xizhi's room.
Squeak——
As if hearing a noise in the yard, the door was opened from the inside in an instant. It was obvious that the person in the house had been waiting for a long time.
When Lu Yunzheng looked up, he saw Gu Xizhi, dressed in plain clothes, coming out impatiently.
"Yun Zheng."
Gu Xizhi called out softly, her eyes gentle and filled with joy.
Lu Yunzheng's heart suddenly softened, and the gloom and boredom he had just felt really disappeared at this moment.
No matter what, there are still people in this world who cherish and love him, who will keep a light for him, and who will look forward to his return.
The two of them sat in the house hugging each other, it was very warm.
At this time, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but ask: "Xizhi, don't you want to ask me where I went?"
Gu Xizhi shook her head gently, "Yun Zheng, I know you are working hard for our future, and that's enough."
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, he suddenly felt a little ashamed.
Because on the way back just now, he was still thinking about Shen Jiasui.
He gently touched Gu Xizhi's long hair and chose to honestly tell her everything he saw and heard in Anyang Marquis' Mansion tonight.
When Gu Xizhi heard that Lu Yunzheng was going to see Shen Jiasui again, the light in her eyes dimmed, but it was soon replaced by a hint of ridicule.
Men are really...
In the past, Yun Zheng treated Shen Jiasui like a worn-out shoe and despised him very much, but now, it turns out that what you can't get is always the best.
She did not doubt Lu Yunzheng's feelings for her at the moment, but it was obvious that there was still room for many people in his heart.
When one day her beauty fades and her love fades, what will she have left?
Concubine...
She no longer cared about Gu Xizhi.
She had been alone in the villa these days, thinking about many things.
She discovered that a secret she had tried so hard to hide now seemed to have become a deadly weapon.
Even that person would be moved after hearing this...
When Lu Yunzheng finished speaking, Gu Xizhi quickly gathered her thoughts and looked up in surprise: "Jiang Xun?"
"Yun Zheng, are you saying that your godfather and godmother told Shen Jiasui about Jiang Xun?"
Gu Xizhi had naturally heard of the name Jiang Xun.
A man who was so upright as to be almost stupid, was said to have offended a duke for the sake of an old man and a peasant girl.
There is injustice everywhere in this world. How much can Jiang Xun eliminate?
It's just for that meaningless persistence that you put yourself and those around you in danger.
In this world, it is right to keep a low profile and protect yourself, but wealth and power are irresistible.
Yun Zheng said that Shen Jiasui and Jiang Xun were "incompatible", but she saw the exact opposite.
They are both like "fiery fire and boiling oil", they are the same inside.
Thinking of this, a hint of interest flashed in Gu Xizhi's eyes.
Jiang Xun's personality means he won't be able to go far. If Shen Jiasui stays with him, she would be courting death.
Of course, Gu Xizhi would not refute Lu Yunzheng, she just needed to go along with him because this was what Lu Yunzheng liked the most.
"Yun Zheng, what should we do? Are they really going to get married soon?"
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, he suddenly thought of something and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"No."
Lu Yunzheng sat up a little straighter.
"I'm afraid Shen Jiasui will soon...give up in the face of difficulties."
