Chapter 76 Why Help Him
Gu Xizhi couldn't help but look surprised when she heard this.
On several occasions, Lu Yunzheng would say something extremely confident, as if... he had known something long ago.
For example, now.
"Knowing the difficulty and retreating? Yun Zheng, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Xizhi asked curiously.
After being frustrated the last time he confessed his rebirth to Mrs. Lu, Lu Yunzheng has decided to keep the matter buried in his heart forever and will not even reveal a single word to Gu Xizhi.
He didn't want to use this incident to test the people around him again, so as to avoid being disappointed again.
So he shook his head and said vaguely, "I heard some rumors from others, but it's not confirmed yet. Let's talk about it when the time comes."
He had just heard that Shen Jiasui was going to marry someone else, and in his confusion he forgot one important thing.
Jiang Xun's lifelong event.
In his previous life, until he returned triumphantly to Beijing, he had not heard that Jiang Xun had started a family, so he did not think of it at the first moment.
But Jing Xizhi's question just now reminded him that Jiang Xun would have a marriage to discuss at the end of this year.
Although he didn't know how Jiang Xun rejected this marriage in his previous life, this time, regardless of whether the marriage was successful or not, Shen Jiasui backed out due to the difficulty.
After all, the one who fell in love with Jiang Xun was a first-class noble lady!
Gu Xizhi saw that Lu Yunzheng was trying to evade the question and couldn't help but frowned slightly, but soon relaxed her brows.
What Lu Yunzheng said tonight was enough for her to pass on to that person.
At this time, Lu Yunzheng came back to his senses and mentioned that he had mistakenly returned to the general's mansion. He couldn't help but ask about the last conversation between Gu Xizhi and his mother in the Jokhang Temple.
"Xizhi, what did you say last time? Mother is willing to send me money recently, but it's all thanks to your mediation."
Gu Xizhi smiled when she heard this, "It's just a small plan to relieve Madam's worries. It's been a while, and I think Madam will get what she wants soon."
"Yun Zheng, if the Madam asks for you to return to the General's Mansion, you should be submissive to General Lu."
"Just think of it as for our future, okay?"
Gu Xizhi raised her head and her smile was like the spring breeze in March.
When Lu Yunzheng heard this, he felt endless pity in his heart, "Xizhi, if this happens, you will also be wronged."
Gu Xizhi shook her head and said in a dependent manner: "Yun Zheng, I'm not afraid as long as you protect me."
Lu Yunzheng felt his chest warmed when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh: "Xizhi, how can I be so worthy to have you by my side."
"I'll listen to you, okay?"
Gu Xizhi nodded gently, and the two of them snuggled together under the candlelight, clearly warm and sweet.
But there was no more tenderness in Gu Xizhi's eyes, only a sharp light flashed.

General Dingguo’s Mansion, Chunhuayuan.
"A-choo——"
After bathing, Baiji was wiping Shen Jiasui's wet hair, but at this moment, Shen Jiasui sneezed several times in succession.
Baiji felt distressed and worried when she saw this. "Miss, I will ask someone to bring Jiang——"
Before she finished speaking, Shen Jiasui suddenly stood up and waved his hand, "Baiji, don't wipe it yet. Wait for me to practice boxing. My body will be warm soon."
Baiji: “….”
She raised her hand and pushed her young lady back, and said in a rare strong voice: "Miss, you are tired after a night, you should take a rest, the ginger soup will be here soon."
Shen Jiasui looked up at Baiji and saw that she looked unhappy. After thinking for a moment, he put his hands on his knees and sat down obediently.
When Baiji saw Shen Jiasui's expression, he could no longer maintain his stern expression. He collapsed and kept muttering:
"Miss, look at you. Even if you are in good health, you can't stand this kind of torture. I am really heartbroken watching you."
Shen Jiasui's eyebrows curved when he heard this, and he held Baiji's hand, "Okay, okay, I'll be obedient, isn't that enough? As for the ginger soup, I promise to drink it all in one gulp, without leaving even a drop."
Baiji was at a loss whether to laugh or cry when seeing how obedient Shen Jiasui was.
It was because the young lady was so kind to her that she dared to cross the line like this, but she really didn't understand...
"Miss, I don't understand. Since you rejected the matchmaking provided by Prince Rong, it means you don't like Lord Jiang. Then why are you going to such lengths for Lord Jiang now?"
Shen Jiasui was stunned when he heard this.
Why would you go to such lengths for Lord Jiang?
Maybe it’s because...when she was at the end of her rope in her previous life, he was the only one who extended a helping hand to her.
Also because...
Seeing that Baiji was still waiting for an answer, Shen Jiasui did not perfunctorily answer. Instead, he sorted out his words and answered seriously:
"Because Lord Jiang is a respectable and admirable person."
"Baiji, perhaps many people think that Lord Jiang is too pedantic and too stupid. Perhaps even he himself knows that his own strength is too small, but he still moves forward courageously and without hesitation."
"I think he must have a strong heart that is beyond the reach of ordinary people. He may even have been prepared to die halfway."
"With a bright heart, there is no fear of death."
"Baiji, his kindness... maybe those who have been helped by him will feel it more deeply."
Because in the previous life, the light emitted by Lord Jiang had truly shone on her...
Baiji saw her young lady's face full of admiration and bright eyes when she talked about Lord Jiang, but she herself was still unaware and could not help but stop talking.
"Oh, I'm getting off topic. Anyway, Lord Jiang should be helped! A-choo——"
Shen Jiasui lost the serious look on his face, relaxed, and sneezed again.
Baiji came back to his senses, and hurriedly quickened his movements, unable to help but spit out a reply.
"Last time I heard from Master and Cousin that Lord Jiang was mentally retarded, and that the Anyang Marquis and his wife didn't seem to like Lord Jiang. It's hard to believe that Lord Jiang could have such a temper."
"Miss, you praised Lord Jiang to the heavens. I wonder what kind of young lady will be able to match him in the future."
Baiji's words contained a hint of temptation.
The lady had instructed her that since the young lady was close to her, she should pay more attention to what the young lady was thinking.
Shen Jiasui was stunned when he heard this, and then he remembered something.
In my previous life, I seemed to have heard someone mention that Princess An Ning had taken a fancy to Lord Jiang and seemed to have the intention of marrying him.
She had heard about this and then forgot about it. Why didn't she see Lord Jiang get married later?
You know, Princess An Ning is of great importance.
The feud between Sheng and Mo has been going on for a long time. The Yue State in the west has always stayed out of the conflict, so it became the object of competition between the two countries.
Later, the late emperor sent the third princess to the Kingdom of Yue as a marriage partner and gave her the title "Jieyou".
After Princess Jieyou went to the Kingdom of Yue, she had a deep relationship with the Khan of Yue and gave birth to two sons and one daughter.
A few years ago, the Khan of Yue State fell ill and died. It must have been a bloody battle, so Princess Jieyou pushed her eldest son to the throne of Khan.
Now that the political situation in Yue State is stable, Princess Jieyou misses her homeland and will bring Princess Anning back to her country to live temporarily at the end of the year.
When she returned to the capital this time, Princess Jieyou was also thinking of choosing a good husband for Princess An Ning so that she could stay in the capital.
Yue State is located in the north, which is far less prosperous and pleasant than the capital. Besides...
Now that their identities are different and the matter involves two countries, there are ultimately more things to consider. The eldest princess also came here on behalf of the Kingdom of Yue.
Shen Jiasui could roughly guess the twists and turns involved, and he also heard that Princess An Ning did have a crush on Jiang Xun, but he didn't know why it didn't work out in the end.
If you count the days, it’s only been about a month, right?
In her previous life, she did not attend the welcoming banquet which was said to be very lively, but she would not miss it this time.
The person behind the scenes is powerful and will definitely appear at the welcoming banquet.
She remembered that in her previous life, Lu Yunzheng also went to join in the fun, and it was after he came back that he told her and Gu Xizhi about the grand occasion of the welcoming banquet in vivid detail.
I wonder if Lu Yunzheng will go this time. If he is there, she might as well see his reaction and see if there is any opportunity she can seize...
Shen Jiasui was lost in thought. When she looked up, she saw Baiji looking at her with inquiring eyes.
"Baiji, what's wrong?" Shen Jiasui asked with a puzzled look on his face.
Baiji shook his head hurriedly, and seeing that Shen Jiasui's hair was almost dry, he turned around and went out to get the ginger soup.
Before leaving, she couldn't help but look back and saw her young lady still in deep thought, muttering:
Madam really overestimated her. She couldn't guess what the young lady was thinking at all.
