Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 198: Cursing

Lu Yunzheng's face was grim, his figure was like an arrow, and he moved flexibly through the woods. Mottled light and shadows quickly passed over him, and his eyes were fixed on the front.

He would not make a mistake, the person just now must be Shen Jiasui!

Lu Yunzheng gritted his teeth slightly, his heart filled with anxiety. He had a premonition that by now in this life, Shen Jiasui must have already grasped all the truth!

He walked through the dense woods in front of him, and his vision suddenly opened up, and a forest of stele came into view.

Lu Yunzheng slowly stopped and looked around. The stone tablets, some high, some low, some new, some old, all stood silently.

There is a pavilion between the stone tablets, with sunlight shining on the eaves of the pavilion. Lu Yunzheng's eyes moved downwards, and suddenly his pupils shrank.

There was a man standing in the pavilion, wearing a moon-white robe, with an upright figure and a gentle air of a scholar.

It was actually... Lu Yunsheng!?

Lu Yunzheng really didn't expect to meet Lu Yunsheng here by such a coincidence, but he had no intention of going forward.

There was really nothing to talk about between him and Lu Yunsheng.

But just as Lu Yunzheng was about to continue looking for Shen Jiasui's whereabouts, Lu Yunsheng suddenly raised his hand and shouted:

"Brother, wait a minute!"

Lu Yunzheng paused, and recalled the interactions between Shen Jiasui and Aunt Zhou.

Could it be that Lu Yunsheng's appearance here was not a coincidence?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lu Yunzheng immediately walked towards the pavilion, but as if to distance himself from Lu Yunsheng, he only wanted to stand outside the pavilion.

"Have you ever seen Shen Jiasui passing by here?" Lu Yunzheng spoke first.

Lu Yunsheng nodded and said, "It was Miss Shen who asked me to come here to look for my brother."

Lu Yunzheng's eyes widened as he heard this, and he took two steps closer. "What do you mean? Shen Jiasui asked you to come see me?"

Lu Yunsheng shook his head, his eyes falling on Lu Yunzheng's face, revealing a hint of complexity.

"No, I wanted to see my elder brother, but I went to the command center and found out that he had taken a day off."

"My aunt has some friendship with Miss Shen, so she sent someone to ask her. Miss Shen told me to wait here and I would definitely be able to see my brother."

Lu Yunzheng frowned when he heard this, unable to guess what Shen Jiasui was up to.

But what seems certain at the moment is that the figure he just glimpsed was undoubtedly Shen Jiasui, and it was she who led him to the Forest of Steles!

Thinking of this, Lu Yunzheng became impatient and irritable. He looked around and shouted, "Shen Jiasui, come out and see me!"

The voice echoed in the empty forest of steles, but received no response.

Lu Yunzheng clenched his fists, and at this moment Lu Yunsheng's voice suddenly rang out: "Brother, aren't you curious about why my second brother is looking for you?"

Lu Yunzheng's entire attention was on Shen Jiasui at the moment. Upon hearing this, he asked impatiently, "What's the matter?"

Seeing Lu Yunzheng's expression, Lu Yunsheng's expression turned cold and he said calmly:

"Dad will set off for the north the day after tomorrow to resist the invasion of the Mo Kingdom after the spring."

"Although the Madam is under house arrest, she has been the mistress of the household for decades, so she is not isolated from the news."

"When my wife heard that Dad was going to the North, she became very excited for some reason. She immediately ran to the study, ignoring the house arrest order, to stop him, saying that Dad would be in danger in the North."

"Resisting foreign enemies is a soldier's duty, and the emperor has also issued an order. Dad's trip is a foregone conclusion, and it won't change because of Madam's words."

"But Madam is extremely persistent. She said Dad's life might be in danger if he goes there, and she also keeps clamoring to see you, big brother."

"Everyone thinks that the lady may have lost her mind due to being confined for so long."

"But Auntie said that although Madam was indeed cruel and vicious to us mother and son, her feelings for Dad were unquestionable, and she would never curse Dad."

"So there might be something going on here, and we need to find Big Brother to get to the bottom of it."

When Lu Yunsheng said this, he raised his eyes and stared at Lu Yunzheng, and said in a deep voice: "Brother, the lady is still making a fuss at home, so, what is going on?"

Lu Yunzheng's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Of course he knew what was going on.

When his mother came to the villa to embarrass Xizhi, he revealed the secret of his rebirth to her in order to gain her recognition and support.

But the matter was of great importance, so he was vague in many places. He also mentioned that his father had died on the battlefield, and for this he was slapped by his mother.

Mother naturally didn't believe him, but my confident look that day might have planted a seed in her heart. Now that Dad was going north, she began to worry.

Lu Yunzheng couldn't understand why his mother was so devoted to him even though his father was so heartless to him.

You must know that no matter in the past life or the present life, in their father's heart, they and their mother are not even one-tenth as important as Aunt Zhou and her son!

As soon as Lu Yunsheng saw Lu Yunzheng's expression, he knew there was something going on. He asked in a deep voice, "Brother, is it convenient for you to go home now?"

Lu Yunzheng was stunned for a moment before shaking his head. He looked at Lu Yunsheng and said sarcastically, "Going back will only cause more quarrels. Dad will scold me and criticize me as worthless. Besides—"

"I don't believe you and your son have any good intentions. I'm afraid you're just hoping that I'll have another big fight with Dad when I get back, so you can completely sever our father-son relationship and make you the heir to this general's mansion."

Lu Yunzheng knew that his mother did this today perhaps to force him to go back so that they could meet before his father went to war and ease their relationship.

But mother didn't know that he was completely disappointed with father in his previous life, and now he has more important things to do!

When Lu Yunsheng heard this, his originally gentle face was instantly covered with frost, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Lu Yunzheng didn't want to say anything more to Lu Yunsheng. Knowing that he would not reveal Shen Jiansui's whereabouts, he turned around and left.

However, just as he took a step, Lu Yunsheng's cold and sarcastic voice came from behind him:

"Big brother is really like that, judging others by one's own standards!"

Lu Yunzheng paused when he heard this, and suddenly turned around, angry, "Lu Yunsheng, what did you say?"

Not only did Lu Yunsheng not give in, but he walked forward and stood opposite Lu Yunzheng.

He was almost two years younger than Lu Yunzheng, and because Lu Yunzheng was taller than the average man, the difference in height between the two men was almost half a head.

But at this moment, Lu Yunsheng raised his head, his eyes were cold, but his aura was not inferior at all.

"It's rare for you and I to be together today, and there are some things I've wanted to say for a long time."

"Brother, you always say that Dad favors me, but in fact, Dad has always spent more effort on you than on me."

"As the legitimate son, from taking your first steps to holding a sword, every step of your life was personally taught by your father. And now that you've reached a high level of martial arts prowess and are now serving in the Command Department, every step of your life was not cultivated with the utmost care by your father."

"I only used my father's influence to enter the Imperial College. Every step forward since then has been achieved through my hard study under the lonely lamp!"

"At this point, I am extremely grateful, because other families' bastards may not have such an opportunity."

"But what about you, brother?"

"You're like a chasm that can never be filled. No matter how much Daddy, no, not just Daddy, but everyone else tries to treat you well, you take it for granted!"

"You only care about yourself, and you only know how to ask for things. If something doesn't meet your expectations, you feel like I owe you something, and then you complain! You become jealous! You even hold a grudge!"

"To be honest, I have never taken Big Brother seriously, let alone considered him an opponent."

"Because I read the books of sages and follow the path of enlightenment, I have my own pursuits, and I'm not focused on the small piece of land in the General's Mansion, competing with you for favor!"

"And people like Big Brother, who are selfish to the core, greedy and never satisfied, will eventually suffer the consequences—"

Lu Yunzheng had never been scolded like this before. He was stunned and confused at first, and then his face gradually turned red.

The next moment, veins bulged on his forehead and anger filled his eyes. He then raised his hand and grabbed Lu Yunsheng's neck. He used such great force that the blood vessels on the back of his hand stood out and the veins were hideous.

"Lu Yunsheng, you're looking for death!"
