"Oh! My darling, my precious baby!" Cai Xiaolian's heart melted at Gu Xin's words. She bent down slightly and hugged Gu Xin in her arms.
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Gu Xin's face heavily: "Okay, study hard and become good at it, so that no one will dare to bully our Xin Xin in the future."
Cai Xiaolian felt that Lu Zheng was doomed.
This kid better stay away from their Xin Xin, or he's really doomed!
...
The Gu family father and daughter, dressed in straw raincoats and bamboo hats, quickly arrived at the village entrance.
The torrential rain couldn't deter their determination to test the waters.
"Are you scared?" Standing at the crossroads at the village entrance, Gu Shouxin stopped and asked Gu Nian beside him.
"I'm not afraid. Dad, you don't know, this is really exciting! Especially in this weather, and with the people standing next to me. I'm not afraid at all!" Gu Nian's voice was filled with excitement.
“Alright! You wait here, I’ll go make the arrangements right away! Judging by the time, he should be arriving soon!” Gu Shouxin said.
"Alright! Dad, go ahead without worry! Oh, Dad, remember not to stand under the tree. You can't hide under a tree when it's thundering, or you'll get struck by lightning," Gu Nian reminded him.
"Yes, I know." Gu Shouxin carried the rope and went to the other side of the road.
Gu Nian was holding the rope at one end.
Soon, Gu Shouxin ran back. The father and daughter didn't hide under the tree, but just held hands like that.
"Once he falls from his horse, I'll go and subdue him. You need to tie him up with a rope first, then gag him with a wad of cloth and blindfold him with a towel," Gu Shouxin reminded him.
"Yes, I understand," Gu Nian replied. "But Father, how can you be sure he came on horseback? It's raining now, what if he came by carriage?"
“I’ve already damaged the wheels of his three carriages. If he were Lu Zheng, he wouldn’t have time to wait for them to be repaired,” Gu Shouxin said calmly.
"Father, please accept my utmost respect!" Gu Nian was completely in awe of Gu Shouxin.
Although the Zhou family was just a wealthy family in a small town, her father's ability to sabotage someone's carriage and then devise a plan to make Lu Zheng rush out to save people without any suspicion was something that most people didn't have.
No wonder he was able to use the emperor as a puppet; he's no ordinary person!
Gu Nian is now very curious about how Gu Shouxin became a eunuch in his previous life.
Gu Shouxin didn't understand the meaning of Gu Nian's words and was about to ask when he heard the sound of horses' hooves.
The father and daughter immediately perked up.
"Giddy up! Giddy up!"
It was indeed Zhou Yuan's voice, and it sounded very urgent.
Lu Zheng was very flustered at the moment. Ji Xiang had just given him a letter, and after reading it, he immediately packed up and left.
He had originally planned to bring Jixiang along, but the carriage broke down, so he had to ride alone.
Fortunately, his maternal grandfather was used to going to bed early; otherwise, he wouldn't have let him go out in this kind of weather.
He rode over on horseback, cursing himself inwardly for being so stupid. How could he have been fooled by that bastard Gu Shouxin when it happened in his past life?
He's always been thinking about selling his daughter, that bastard Gu Shouxin!
When it came to Gu Xin's matter, Lu Zheng couldn't calm down. In his previous life, he was too calm and too careless, neglecting Cai Shi and Gu Nian, which allowed Xin Xin to be deceived by them, ultimately leading to her death.
He would never allow such a thing to happen again in his life.
Just as they were about to reach Sanchakou Village, the horse suddenly went berserk and its hooves buckled. As he was about to turn the horse around, he was suddenly thrown off.
