Chapter 139 It's Destined
Finally, he arrived at the shop of the Lu Mansion. He gently pushed open the door and saw the anxious Lu Yi. When she saw Zhan Shixuan coming, she immediately came forward and asked with concern: "Why are you here? Are your injuries better?"
Zhan Shixuan smiled and replied, "Don't worry, I'm fine. My father said he would hold a wedding for me to get rid of the bad luck. He even went to find your father today, but unfortunately, he was scolded and sent away by your father."
Lu Yi knew clearly that his injuries were not as serious as rumored by the outside world, and the so-called wedding was just an excuse to deal with Emperor Tiansheng.
She couldn't help but blush, and her mind kept recalling the unforgettable grievances and hatreds between her and Zhan Shuo. She thought to herself, "How could the Duke of Zhenguo agree to this marriage so easily?"
Zhan Shixuan seemed to see through her thoughts and explained softly, "Since he has expressed his willingness to marry me in front of the emperor, he must naturally fulfill his promise. However, now there are rumors that I am seriously injured and will not live long. Who would be willing to send their own daughter to marry a dying person?" So, Zhan Shuo came up with the idea of letting Lu Yi marry into the mansion.
After hearing this, Lu Yi frowned slightly and responded firmly: "Ah Xuan, you need to think carefully about this matter. Your father and I have a long-standing grudge and there is no way we can live in harmony. Before this, he tried to take my life several times. How can I easily forget such a deep blood feud?"
Zhan Shixuan knew the stakes involved, but he still comforted Lu Yi and said, "I understand your pain. After we get married, we will move out of the mansion and start our own family. We will no longer live with them. Not only that, we will no longer have any connection with them in the future."
Originally, Zhan Shixuan had not planned to reveal his true identity to Lu Yi so soon, but this time she braved the long journey to visit him in the northern border, and he was deeply moved by her kindness. Because of this, he made up his mind to tell her the truth tonight.
Zhan Shixuan looked at Lu Yi solemnly and said in a low voice, "Lu Yi, I have something very important to tell you, but this matter is of great importance and must not be known to others."
Lu Yi's heart trembled. She knew very well that Zhan Shixuan would not say such a thing for no reason. With her extraordinary keen hearing, she could still catch the slightest sound around her even if she was dozens of meters away.
She stared into Zhan Shixuan's eyes and nodded without hesitation: "Okay, I will keep my mouth shut."
Zhan Shixuan took a deep breath, as if mustering up his courage, and then slowly said, "Lu Yi, actually... I am not the biological son of the Duke of Zhenguo."
This news hit Lu Yi like a bolt from the blue, shocking her greatly. Because normally, Zhan Shuo treated Zhan Shixuan as if he were his own son, and there was no sign that they were not biological father and son!
Lu Yi stared at Zhan Shixuan with eyes wide open in disbelief, trying to find any trace of a joke or a lie on his face. However, Zhan Shixuan's expression was extremely serious, without any falsehood at all.
Lu Yi stared at Zhan Shixuan with eyes wide open, her face full of disbelief, her body trembling uncontrollably. Her mind was in a mess, unable to accept this sudden fact.
Zhan Shixuan felt Lu Yi's shock and confusion.
Zhan Shixuan sighed and began to tell the hidden past.
In order to protect the young him from being harmed, the Queen Mother sent him out of the palace to be raised by the Duke of Zhenguo, and announced to the outside world that he was the Duke of Zhenguo's son.
Lu Yi listened attentively, and the doubts in her heart were gradually resolved.
However, a new question came to her mind, and she said in a lost voice: "Why didn't I hear anything about your life experience in the previous two lives until I died? Could it be..."
Zhan Shixuan was also startled when he heard her words, and hurriedly said, "Lu Yi, what did you say? What about the previous two lives? What about until you die?"
Lu Yi frowned slightly and nodded thoughtfully. She thought of the hardships and setbacks she had experienced in her previous life. Perhaps it was really as Zhan Shixuan said, everything was destined.
