Chapter 2623 Prime Minister Jin is not a stepping stone
The visitor was placed in the front hall by the butler.
He is still wearing armor, and his stern temperament conceals the youthfulness brought by his handsome face. Only a bright red cinnabar mole at the end of his eye softens his cold temperament and adds a different kind of excellence.
When Shi Li followed his old father to the front hall, he saw this young man. He suddenly thought of the Zhenxi army that he had avoided before, and wondered if they were from the same sect.
When the young general saw Prime Minister Shi and Shi Li, he immediately stood up to greet them, and then took out a jade pendant from his arms.
"Sir Shi, this should be your wife's jade pendant, and now it has been returned to its original owner." The young man spoke to Prime Minister Shi neither humbly nor arrogantly, but his eyes flickered as he glanced at Shi Lishi.
Prime Minister Shi took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. At last, his fingers trembled slightly. He looked at the young man in horror and confusion, and his voice seemed to be suppressing some emotion.
"who are you?"
[Isn’t it an illegitimate child? ? ? ]
[Brand new plot, such a handsome man~~~]
[Just this temperament, absolutely amazing! ! ! ]
Young General Lu Shenyuan nodded to Prime Minister Shi again, "My mother and your wife were once close friends, and your wife once gave my mother the jade pendant."
"Then...did your mother say anything else?" Prime Minister Shi quietly looked at Lu Shenyuan from head to toe and asked casually.
Lu Shenyuan's eyes flickered slightly, and then he said calmly: "My mother passed away five years ago. She only left a will asking me to return the jade pendant to its original owner, and did not mention anything else."
Prime Minister Shi showed some admiration on his face, but he didn't show it too obviously. He continued to practice Tai Chi and said, "Where are you staying now? Why don't you stay at your house for a while?"
Although Lu Shenyuan is only twenty years old this year, he is not a reckless young man. He immediately declined politely.
"I still have military duties to attend to. This time I came mainly to return the property to its original owner. I will come to visit again after I finish my military duties."
He was neither humble nor arrogant, and did not take advantage of Prime Minister Shi's courtesy. Instead, he responded appropriately, without the slightest attempt to curry favor with the powerful.
Prime Minister Shi was more and more satisfied. He reached out and patted Lu Shenyuan on the shoulder gently to encourage him, then ordered the butler to send him out.
When only he and Shi Li and his daughter were left in the front hall, Prime Minister Shi explained the whole story to Shi Li.
"When your mother was still unmarried, she not only liked poetry and prose, but also liked to practice martial arts. She once made a close friend who was as capable as any man. Later, that girl left the capital with her parents and lost contact with your mother."
"Later, your mother married me and told me about this past, and..." Prime Minister Shi suddenly paused and looked at Shi Li with some embarrassment.
Shi Li was puzzled, "And what?"
"Besides, your mother is a woman of sentimental temperament. Even though you were both unmarried girls, she already arranged a marriage. Now, it should be you and Lu Shenyuan."
After saying this, Prime Minister Shi sighed slightly.
Shi Li: ...
This is even more outrageous than an arranged marriage.
"So, you were deliberately testing Lu Shenyuan just now, wanting to see if he knew about this matter?" Shi Li also understood why Prime Minister Shi spoke like that just now.
Prime Minister Shi nodded, "Yes, but when I look at Lu Shenyuan, he is quite a handsome man."
[So, is the plot so off track? ]
[Then why didn't Lu Shenyuan come to return the jade pendant? ]
[One possibility is that the original owner had originally been in love with the male pig, and the Prime Minister's father privately canceled the engagement.]
The comments were full of speculation.
At the same time, Lu Shenyuan returned to the Zhenxi Army.
The deputy general who was familiar with him came forward quietly and asked, "General, have you found your fiancée whom you have never met?"
The deputy general had been through life and death with Lu Shenyuan on the battlefield, so he knew almost everything about him, but Lu Shenyuan did not tell him that the other party was the daughter of the prime minister.
Lu Shenyuan's mind was full of Shi Li's appearance at this moment. He didn't hear what the deputy general said at all. He just waved his hand randomly to signal him to leave, and then thought about it alone.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Shenyuan suddenly stood up.
"Her legs...what's going on?"
It turned out that for such a long time, he had been thinking about the girl he fell in love with at first sight. Only then did he realize that the girl had been sitting in a wheelchair.
