Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 203 You Can Admit Your Mistakes

Lu Yunzheng sat on the horse, watching his father gallop away with his men, feeling a sense of ease and peace he had never felt in his two lifetimes.

At this time in my previous life, my father did go to the north. He stayed in Beijing to prepare for his marriage with Shen Jiasui.

This spring, there was only a minor conflict in Mo Country. Not only was Dad safe on this trip, but in his previous life, he even returned to Beijing before he got married.

The biggest disaster happened two years later...

But Prince Xiang has already been imprisoned for life, and it is impossible for him to join Prince Xiang's camp again. I think if I am more careful in this life, my father will not be in trouble again.

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but think of the Shen family.

Those letters...I don't know where Prince Xiang got them from.

When the prince ordered someone to hand the letter to him, his father had just died in the battle.

What Prince Xiang meant was that although Shen Zhengsheng had partially retired, he was still a powerful general.

If the capital issues an order to send Shen Zhengsheng to take charge, not only will the credit for repelling the enemy go to Shen Zhengsheng, but he will also have to be subordinate to others. It is unknown how many years it will take for him to finally make a breakthrough.

At that time, he was hesitant and reluctant in his heart, but in the end... he still couldn't resist the temptation thrown by Prince Xiang.

He wanted too badly to stand out.

Even if his father could no longer see it, he would do it for everyone to see. He, Lu Yunzheng, would become famous throughout the world, return to Beijing in glory, and trample Lu Yunsheng, whom his father held in his heart, under his feet!

Another point is that as long as the Shen family does not fall, Xizhi will never be able to marry him openly.

You have to know that at that time, Xizhi was already pregnant with his child...

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng slowly lowered his head, feeling a little hesitant and panicked.

Looking back at his past life's actions, he couldn't deny that he had never considered Shen Jiasui's feelings, nor had he ever cared about the life and death of the Shen family...

But that was in the previous life, and Shen Jiasui had dragged him to death in the previous life.

Now that they both came back again, nothing happened. Apart from breaking off the engagement, he did not cause any harm to the Shen family. Shen Jiasui... should not continue to fight with him to the death, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but look confused.

He really couldn't figure out Shen Jiasui's attitude.

Now that Prince Xiang has fallen, it seems that Shen Jiasui has achieved his goal of saving the entire Shen family. Perhaps the situation between him and Shen Jiasui is not necessarily a dead end.

Moreover, he had finally resolved the misunderstanding with his father. Just as his father had just said, he was still looking forward to fighting on the battlefield with his father, just like in his previous life.

Perhaps, it's time to talk to Shen Jiasui. He can admit his mistakes, and he did... realize that he was wrong.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng rode back to Beijing.

Since Lin Zhouzhi directly gave him a day off, Lu Yunzheng thought about it and went back to the Lu Mansion to meet Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu cried because Lu Yunzheng did not come back to see Lu Yongzhu off. Now, hearing that he and his son had finally talked it out, she couldn't help but cry with joy.

"Zheng'er? Are you serious? Did your father really say that to you?"

Lu Yunzheng smiled and nodded, and showed the letter written to him by General Lu to Mrs. Lu.

Mrs. Lu recognized it at a glance. It was undoubtedly Lu Yongzhu's handwriting.

When she saw the eight words "support the family lintel and revive the family tradition", Mrs. Lu's tears flowed even more.

She thought she didn't have much ambition. All she cared about in her life were her husband, her son, and the general's mansion.

As soon as she saw the four words "support the door lintel", she knew that in the master's heart, this general's mansion was to be left to Zheng'er.

As soon as this thought came to mind, the depression and resentment that had been in my heart for many years suddenly dissipated.

"Zheng'er, Zheng'er, you have to do your best and don't let your father down."

Mrs. Lu held Lu Yunzheng's hand, tears in her eyes, and gave him instructions over and over again.

.......

After leaving the general's mansion, Lu Yunzheng couldn't wait to return to the villa. Now there was only one doubt left in his mind, and that was Xizhi's secret.

Ever since I learned that Xizhi had taken refuge with Prince Rui, I feel horrified whenever I think back on many things.

For example, he had revealed to Xizhi early on that he intended to join Prince Xiang, and even exchanged letters with Prince Xiang.

How did Xizhi feel when she heard these words? Did she immediately report them to Prince Rui?

He has not been able to get on Prince Xiang's boat now. If he had, he would naturally not hide anything from Xizhi.

In this way, wouldn't Prince Rui know his and Prince Xiang's movements at all times?

The more Lu Yunzheng thought about it, the more frightened he became. He even recalled the day when Xizhi attended the welcoming banquet in the Imperial Garden. She wanted nothing but the best branch of wintersweet in the wintersweet forest.

Coincidentally, after the banquet, Prince Xiang happened to be in the east of the wintersweets forest, where the wintersweets grew best.

Xizhi seemed to be... intentionally or unintentionally pushing him towards Prince Xiang, turning him into Prince Rui's spy planted next to Prince Xiang.

After figuring this out, Lu Yunzheng's heart was completely chilled.

If one were to ask what was driving him to not break up with Gu Xizhi until now, Lu Yunzheng thought it was his unwillingness.

He had done so many things, and in his previous life he even harmed the entire Shen family. He did not deny that part of it was for his own sake of fame and fortune.

But the other half, Lu Yunzheng dared to say with confidence, was for Xizhi and their unborn child in her belly.

The more he cared, the more he became obsessed with it. He wanted to see what Xizhi wanted to do, how far she would go, and whether...she loved him or not.

As soon as this thought came to mind, Lu Yunzheng couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Lu Yunzheng has longed to be loved in both of his lives. In his previous life, it was his father, and in this life, it was Xizhi...

Lu Yunzheng is now being cautious. Since he returned home early, it's a good opportunity to see if he will encounter anything!

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng climbed up the courtyard wall quietly.

There were only two maids, Qingtao and Hongtao, in the yard. They were sitting comfortably at the stone table, eating snacks and talking about something.

Lu Yunzheng thought Gu Xizhi was resting in the house.

After all, the injury on her wrist had worsened that day at the Jokhang Temple, and she had been feeling increasingly uncomfortable these days and nights.

Thinking of this, he was about to jump onto the roof, but he heard Hong Tao muttering:

"What was she thinking? She was so willing to deal with that vulgar woman next door. It's a good thing we didn't go together. I find that yard so dirty that I would even want to stay there."

"You're stupid! If she doesn't go, how can you and I sit here so leisurely now?"

"Too--"

When Lu Yunzheng heard this, his heart moved slightly.

The woman next door?

He had seen it once. Once, the woman came over with her son, saying she was there to keep Xizhi company, but in fact, she was there to get some free food...

He didn't care about it before, but now he feels that every action of Xizhi may have a deep meaning.

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng leaped and landed silently on the wall of the next courtyard. He listened carefully and heard faint voices talking in the house.

Lu Yunzheng frowned and landed lightly under the window of the main house. He put his ear close to it and heard Gu Xizhi's voice coming over softly:

"Mom Mo, have you brought the things?"
