Mrs. Jiang was happy when she went out, but sad when she came back.
When he entered the door, he asked: "Is Lianzhi back?"
The concierge replied: "Back to Madam, the young master has been back for a while, and he asked me to send someone to report when Madam is back."
Mrs. Jiang looked gloomy, "No need to report, I will go find him personally."
Jiang Lian liked tranquility, so his study was located on the north side of the quiet lake in Jiang Mansion.
When Mrs. Jiang found the person, Jiang Lianzhi was standing by the lake looking at the water with a somewhat far-reaching gaze.
It was already late autumn, and he was only wearing a thin blue gown, which made him look a little desolate in the wind.
Mrs. Jiang gave up her original plan of raising an army to investigate and called a servant to get his cloak.
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Jiang Lianzhi turned around and said, "Mother, today..."
"I know what you want to ask," Mrs. Jiang interrupted him, "Let me tell you straight, Shen Yu cannot enter my Jiang family."
Jiang Lianzhi frowned, "Why?"
Mrs. Jiang became angry when she thought about it, and couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you mention that she was disabled before you asked me to come to your door?"
There was a bang in Jiang Lianzhi's mind, "Crippled? Impossible."
"How is it impossible?" Mrs. Jiang said angrily: "She is lame in one leg. It is said that she was injured on the battlefield. I just said what a young lady looks like wielding swords and guns all day long."
Mrs. Jiang looked at him, "You don't know, right? That girl must have deceived her."
"That Shen Yu wished she could get married tomorrow. She was lame on one leg and pushed me to the gate, causing me to fall."
"There is no shortage of talented and beautiful young ladies in Shengjing. Don't be impatient. I'll give you a good look later."
Mrs. Jiang talked to herself for a long time, and then she noticed that Jiang Lianzhi was distracted.
"Lianzhi?"
Jiang Lian withdrew his gaze and said, "I understand."
Seeing his reaction, Mrs. Jiang was slightly relieved, handed him the cloak, and scolded Jiang Lianzhi's servant before leaving.
Turning around the Moon Cave Gate, you can still see Jiang Lianzhi standing by the lake when you look back.
Mrs. Jiang shook her head and muttered as she walked: "What do you think happened to him? He has been standing there these days. He has been watching this lake for decades, what is there to see?"
…
Shengjing is prosperous, there is no curfew at this time of year, and there are many hawkers and pedestrians on the streets of Yueshang Zhongtian.
It looked like a peaceful year, but who would have thought that the Juexi army would invade in two days.
The east part of the city is full of high-profile houses with green bricks and green tiles, but the General's Mansion is not luxurious among them.
The second watch had just sounded, and a carriage stopped at the back door of the General's Mansion.
As soon as the vehicle stopped and Shen Yu was about to get out of the car, she heard the driver say: "Miss, wait a moment."
Then he shouted into the darkness: "Who is there?"
Shen Yu opened the curtain and looked around. There was a carriage parked under the wall of the back yard. She didn't know how long it had been parked there. The horse was snoring impatiently.
There were two people sitting on the edge of the car. The shorter one got out of the car, stood beside the car and cupped his hands in this direction and said, "Is this the lady of General Shen's family in the car?"
The back door was dimly lit, and two lanterns hung under the eaves, swinging in the wind.
"Exactly," Shen Yu said, "What do you want from me?"
"Miss Shen, wait a moment."
As the boy said this, he turned around and opened the curtain, and a tall young man got out of the carriage.
The figure of that man was very familiar to Shen Yu.
Unexpectedly, she met Jiang Lianzhi on the third day after she was reborn.
Her heart was beating wildly, and her hand unconsciously reached for the dagger in her soft boots.
"Miss, what are you doing?" Lu Yao looked at Shen Yu's actions in shock.
Shen Yu was startled and quickly retracted her hand. In just a moment, Jiang Lianzhi had already walked over.
She subconsciously wanted to avoid this person because she was not sure whether she would accidentally wipe Jiang Lianzhi's neck with a knife. Killing a court official was a serious crime, and she was not sure whether he was involved in her death.
Jiang Lian walked to the car and said, "Miss Shen."
Lu Yao winked at Shen Yu, "Miss, it's Jiang..."
Shen Yu covered Lu Yao's mouth and stuffed her into the carriage, pretending not to recognize the person in front of her, "Who are you?"
Jiang Lianzhi didn't speak, but looked straight at her, his red eyes hidden under the dim light.
Finally, he saw her again.
In his previous life, he watched her die in front of him.
The lantern at the entrance to the courtyard no longer lit up, and every time he passed by it was darkness. Only then did he realize that in those years she had stood there with a lantern every day, waiting for him to return home.
Thinking of this, Jiang Lianzhi closed his eyes in pain. The pain in his previous life, like his heart being ripped out, still did not lessen in this life.
He understood too late that some people are like that, they don't know how to cherish until they lose it.
He wanted to call her Ayu again, but now he couldn't.
But it's still early, isn't it? Earlier than they met in their previous life.
Seeing that she was still looking at him, Jiang Lianzhi looked at her and smiled lightly, "Miss Shen, my surname is Jiang Ji, and my given name is..."
"Oh~" Shen Yu responded with a long voice: "Famous prostitute, I'm glad to meet you."
The attendant behind Jiang Lianzhi looked solemn, "My lord——"
"It's okay," Jiang Lianzhi raised his hand to interrupt, "My mother came to propose marriage two days ago. Miss Shen must know about this."
Shen Yu said calmly: "Of course I know that Mrs. Jiang escaped from the general's mansion at that time. It can be seen that she regrets coming to propose marriage."
Jiang Lianzhi raised his eyes and saw that the light at the door was dim, and he could only see half of Shen Yu's profile. Beauty can always add a third of color under the light, making her already outstanding appearance look even more delicate.
He had never seen her look like this before. Even her hair blowing in the wind was full of vitality, but there seemed to be some hostility between her eyebrows.
Jiang Lianzhi frowned.
Yes, there have been rumors in Beijing these past two days that the eldest lady in General Shen's residence is lame. This news was probably spread by his mother. It is normal for her to be hostile to him. He should give her a good apology. of.
"I am here to apologize to you on behalf of my mother for the rumors about Miss Shen in Beijing."
Shen Yu said politely: "Master Jiang's words are serious, I don't take this matter to heart."
Jiang Lianzhi's brows relaxed and he said, "You call me Lianzhi."
"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with you. Is there anything else, sir?
Jiang Lianzhi nodded, "I came here today to tell you that no matter what my parents think, I want to marry you."
Shen Yu's heart moved slightly, and she suddenly remembered that he was so determined when he wanted to take a concubine.
"You will marry me even if I am a cripple?" she asked.
Jiang Lianzhi took another step forward calmly, and his handsome face was already revealed in the light.
He looked at Shen Yu's face intently and said firmly: "Even if you are a lame, I will marry you."
Shen Yu looked at him, her face was still the same, elegant and handsome, but now this person and this face could no longer make waves in her heart.
"What about your childhood sweetheart, Miss Lin?"
Jiang Lianzhi was stunned for a moment, and then said immediately: "She and I——"
Shen Yu interrupted first, "I heard that when the Lin family members were sent to Chongzhou, Mr. Jiang rode his horse and sent them dozens of miles away."
Jiang Lianzhi's expression was a little ugly.
Shen Yu bent down and got out of the carriage. Jiang Lian subconsciously reached out to help her. She had already avoided his hand and jumped down. She landed smoothly and lightly, and she didn't seem to have any difficulty in moving.
Jiang Lianzhi was so smart that he immediately guessed that she was probably faking the lameness.
Shen Yu raised her voice and said, "I also have something to say to you, sir."
"I will not marry you." She repeated seriously, "even if I am a cripple."
