Chapter 504 That's the Lu family's mule cart
Zhao Xi drove the carriage carefully, knowing the progress of the exile procession and needing to keep a certain distance from them if he lagged behind.
But the two mule carts were moving very fast on the muddy road, as if they were in a great hurry.
Zhao Xi pulled the car aside to let them go first.
After the mule cart had passed, he muttered a couple of things, "Even if you're in a hurry, you don't have to walk this fast, do you? Don't you even know what kind of road this is?"
Hearing this, Meng Yunzheng, who was sitting in the carriage, glanced outside. As the mule cart drove further and further away, he suddenly said, "Quick, catch up with it."
Zhao Xi was taken aback. "Chase after those two mule carts ahead?"
"Yes, the vehicle on the right looks like the Lu family's mule cart."
Shu Yu bought the Lu family's first mule cart cheaply, and the carriage was designed with practicality in mind, so it was quite simple and had become rather dull over time. Shu Yu then thought it best to paint a design on it.
There was no need to draw anything too complicated; they just drew a very simple house on the back of the carriage and said that this was the legendary RV.
Now, because the car has been on the road for many days, and it has been raining, the splashing rainwater has covered a small part of the pattern on the back of the car.
Zhao Xi was driving the carriage while wearing a veil, and although the thin veil in front of him was lifted, his vision was still obstructed. In addition, his attention was focused on avoiding the mule carts, so he didn't really observe the mule carts carefully.
Upon hearing Meng Yunzheng's words, he immediately focused his gaze, and the next moment he yelled "Damn!" and jerked the reins, charging forward at lightning speed.
Meanwhile, on the Lu family's mule cart ahead, all the members of the Lu family were in the left carriage, while their luggage was placed in the right carriage. The family huddled together inside the cart, talking in hushed tones.
“We’re about to catch up with A-Yu. I’ll say it again. Before we left, I told the adults that A-Yu doesn’t appear to have recognized us, nor has she ever been to Jiangyuan County. So when we see her, we must pretend we don’t know her. No matter what she looks like—whether she’s sick, injured, or… being beaten—we must act as if we don’t know her. We’ll meet with her privately when we find a suitable opportunity. Understand?”
Lu Erbo repeatedly emphasized that he was afraid that his family's excitement would ruin everything and harm Ayu.
The old lady's expression was stern. "You all remember that? Especially you two little ones, and Madam Ruan, you are not allowed to cry. If you dare to show any sign of distress, I will abandon you."
She launched into a fierce and ruthless attack.
The Lu family all nodded in unison. This was something that Master Xiang had repeatedly mentioned to them before he left, and they had kept it in mind.
"I'm a little sad," Sanya said softly. "But if Second Sister sees us, and we watch her suffer without acknowledging her, won't she be heartbroken?"
The old lady reached out and patted her little head. "No, Master Xiang said that he sent someone to deliver a letter to Ayu in advance. That person set off even earlier than us, so he must have already secretly handed the letter to Ayu. Ayu is already prepared."
"Little sister, if you're scared, just lie down and don't look out. We can just look at your second sister." Da Hu comforted her with a tense little face.
Sanya wasn't comforted at all. "I'm not afraid. I want to see."
As they were talking, the driver suddenly said, "There's a car following us."
