Happy Spring Every Year

Chapter 200 My Son Yun Zheng

Lu Yunzheng stretched out two fingers and pinched the letter inside, only to find that it was unexpectedly thick.

He took a deep breath, trying to steady his trembling hands, then gritted his teeth and suddenly pulled out the letter.

blah-

Something fell to the ground with a thud.

The sound echoed in the empty forest of steles, causing the extremely nervous Lu Yunzheng to shiver.

His breathing became more and more rapid. He looked down and saw beads of sweat that had been suppressed at some point, now slowly sliding down his cheeks.

But Lu Yunzheng seemed not to notice, and instead widened his eyes slightly.

Because what was lying on the ground... was actually a letter.

Lu Yunzheng slowly squatted down, turned the letter over and saw that it was clearly written on the envelope: To Brother Hu personally.

Seeing this, Lu Yunzheng looked confused.

Who is Brother Hu?

Did Lu Yunsheng take the wrong letter, or was it that his father was careless and made a mistake when packing the letter?

All doubts now fell on the letter paper held between his fingers.

Lu Yunzheng took a deep breath, squatted there, and slowly unfolded the letter paper in his hand.

At this moment, his whole body was like a taut bowstring, but his eyes were so anxious as he quickly scanned the contents of the letter.

What caught my eye was the familiar, incisive handwriting—

My son Yun Zheng:

My father's life or death is uncertain as he goes on this expedition, so I leave this letter for you to read carefully.

You have been restless and erratic lately. If this continues, you will go astray and there may be no turning back.

The rift between you and your son is growing wider and wider, almost to the point where it cannot be repaired. I am filled with resentment and anger at you for not striving for progress and for betraying benevolence and righteousness. Every time I think of this, my blood boils.

However, there were countless sleepless nights when your father tossed and turned, and he remembered that when you were young, you had a kind nature and did many commendable things.

If I never return, this letter will be my last words. At this moment, I don't want to hide my true feelings for the sake of false appearance.

As a father who has fought on the battlefield all his life, I believe that strict education can help you become a talent, so I impose strict military regulations on you, but I forget that you are still young and your heart needs the nourishment of gentle water, not the oppression of severe frost.

At this point, I suddenly realized that as a father, I was deeply wrong.

As a father, I feel guilty and regretful, and I always want to confess everything to you.

But every time you and I meet, we quarrel endlessly. Your father always says inappropriate things, and you are also very resentful. I think you and I, father and son, have the same temperament. We are both as stubborn as bulls and it is difficult to reconcile.

My son Yun Zheng, your father has been fighting in battles all his life, and he always encourages himself with a few words.

Know the bitterness and banish vanity. Consider constantly and abandon arrogance. Maintain loyalty and banish melancholy. Aim high and undeterred by pain, and you will eventually become a pillar of society.

If I unfortunately die on the battlefield, we will never meet again. I hope you can always remember these words.

Your temperament is already determined. If you have the courage to improve yourself and change your ways, your father has attached a letter of recommendation to this letter. With this letter of recommendation, you can travel to Pingcheng in the north to visit a man named Hu Ning.

He will help you join the army, and from then on you will forget your previous life, hide your identity, and fight for your country with your own talents and martial arts. You will gallop across the battlefield, stand out when the storm is at hand, and one day you will be feared by all the world.

Even if I am in the netherworld, I will protect you day and night, and bless you to be safe in times of trouble and turn misfortune into safety.

If one day I see you become a pillar of society, support the family line, and revive the family tradition, even if I die, I, your father, can rest in peace and smile.

My son's father's name is Yun Zheng.

----

The afternoon sun was warm and all around was quiet. The only sound in the forest of stele was the rustling of trees in the wind.

Lu Yunzheng squatted on the spot, holding the letter in his hand, his eyes were red and his whole body was trembling.

He bent over and read the letter over and over again no less than ten times. Tears rolled down his face, but he wiped them away with his sleeves.

He couldn't believe it, this was really the letter his father left for him.

There was no Aunt Zhou, no Lu Yunsheng, no reproaches or scoldings in the letter. Every word was addressed to him with sincere heart.

He was even so thoughtful and far-sighted that he prepared a book recommendation and a second option for him.

"father......."

Lu Yunzheng murmured, looked around in a daze, and then his gaze fell back on the letter in his hand.

The corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously, like a child who had been praised by his father, unable to hide the joy and excitement in his heart.

But he is an adult after all, thinking more and more complicatedly, and worrying more about gains and losses. In a blink of an eye, his smile was mixed with doubt.

Since his rebirth, his father has never treated him well, and he was even more heartless in his previous life. Was this letter really written by his father?

Or was it all a trick by Aunt Zhou and Lu Yunsheng? They imitated Dad's handwriting to give him some extravagant hope, and then completely destroy it—

When his thoughts reached this point, Lu Yunzheng suddenly froze.

The next moment, he was seen frantically and eagerly bringing the letter closer, reading each word carefully, almost wanting to immerse himself in the words.

Why......

Why was his first thought when he saw the letter that Aunt Zhou and her son imitated his father's handwriting?

But he never doubted that the letter he found in his father's tent in his previous life might have been copied by someone else!

Because of this thought, Lu Yunzheng's face turned pale in an instant, and many doubts that he had never thought about before popped up in his mind.

Since Shen Zhengsheng's handwriting can be imitated, why can't my father's handwriting?

And if this letter was really written by Aunt Zhou and her son, then this move was really too clumsy.

Because his father was still at home, he only needed to take the letter home and ask, and the trick would be exposed.

If the faith before me is true, and if the faith in my past life is false...

Lu Yunzheng suddenly felt dizzy.

Because he suddenly realized that if the suicide note in his previous life was fake, then his father might not have died at the hands of the enemy, but rather died in the conspiracy of his own people!

Who is it? Prince Xiang?

He had been used by him in his previous life. He had fought on the battlefield with his father and had accumulated a lot of military merits and prestige.

However, with his father around, it was naturally not his turn to take the lead and control the military power.

But if his father died on the battlefield, he would most likely be entrusted with the task of inheriting his father's business due to his previous achievements and reputation.

The military power in his hands naturally became part of Prince Xiang's possession.

Thinking more deeply, was it really a coincidence that his father in his previous life suddenly knew about his dealings with Prince Xiang?

Is this also Prince Xiang's plan to test whether Dad is willing to join him?

If you are willing, everything will be easier.

But my father is loyal to the country and the emperor, and he certainly doesn't want to get involved in the fight for the throne. So I'll use the second plan, alienate them from each other, and then get rid of my father and help him sit on the position of general!

He had always felt that his father was partial to Concubine Zhou and her son. When his father died in the war, he was deeply saddened and his thoughts were even more confused.

When he was suddenly asked to read the suicide note left by his father, he couldn't even think normally, and his father was dead and there was no evidence.

As a result, he felt resentment towards his father, and naturally he doubted and investigated whether there were any doubts or hidden secrets in his father's death.

If you think about it this way, every single thing is connected to each other and fits together perfectly!

At this moment, Lu Yunzheng felt dizzy and fell backward to the ground.

The letter slipped from his hand and fluttered to the ground.

Lu Yunzheng was stunned for a moment, then leaned forward like a madman, holding the letter tightly in his hand.

Bah, bah, bah—

Tears fell on the stone floor of the pavilion.

Lu Yunzheng suddenly lowered his head, buried his face in his hands, and his shoulders twitched continuously.
