Upon returning to the village, the Gu family of four saw Lu Zheng tidying up the carriage.
"Brother Yuanyuan!" Gu Xin greeted him happily.
"Second Uncle, Aunt Lian, Niannian, Xinxin, you're back already! How's the estate going?" Lu Zheng put down his work and turned around to greet them.
“Brother Yuanyuan, we didn’t go!” Gu Xin jumped off the carriage and ran to Lu Zheng’s side.
"Be careful!" Lu Zheng's heart leaped when he saw her jump suddenly just now, and he couldn't help but remind her.
"Brother Yuanyuan, let me tell you, I'm so angry with the Cheng family! They're bullying our family! They..."
"Xin Xin!"
The time-traveling trio were surprised to find that Gu Xin and Lu Zheng had such a good relationship, and they were almost caught off guard, so they quickly stopped them.
Gu Xin looked at her family, puzzled.
Weren't you just saying how nice Yuanyuan was? We're all so familiar with each other now, you can tell Yuanyuan!
Previously, when they were bullied by the Zhang brothers and their cousins, Yuanyuan even went with them to seek revenge.
In Gu Xin's heart, Lu Zheng was already one of her brothers and sisters in the Gu family, just like Guo Rui.
"Second Uncle, Aunt Lian, what's wrong? Is there anything I can help you with? I'd be happy to help," Lu Zheng said sincerely as he walked over.
The three time travelers looked at Lu Zheng.
To be honest, they've started to find Lu Zheng somewhat agreeable now, mainly because Cheng Rui is just too awful; without comparison, there's no harm done.
Putting aside the plot of the book, judging from their interactions over the past two months, Lu Zheng is not exactly a great person, but he is certainly not someone you would dislike.
At least, this person always got along well with them, and there was nothing about him that made their family feel uncomfortable.
Considering Cheng Rui's words about status and position, even if this heir of the Duke's mansion was an abandoned son, his status was still higher than Cheng Rui's.
However, thinking about the scenarios Gu Nian described, I still felt a bit uncomfortable.
"It's nothing, just some business disagreements with Lord Cheng's family. We probably won't be cooperating in the future," Gu Shouxin said.
"Oh, I see!" Lu Zheng smiled. Of course, he knew there was more to it than that, but he didn't press the matter. He said, "Actually, not cooperating with them might be a good thing! I heard from a distant relative who is an official in the capital that Lord Cheng's in-laws have offended quite a few people over the years, and someone is secretly trying to get rid of him! Of course, I'm just repeating hearsay."
Lu Zheng stopped there. That Minister Sun's glory wouldn't last long. When he saw Cheng Rui, he remembered that in his previous life, Cheng Rui only started to rise to prominence after marrying a princess and becoming her husband more than ten years later.
He believed that, based on his understanding of Gu Shouxin over the past two months, this man would definitely be able to understand.
"Ah Yuan, you're really well-informed!" Gu Shouxin was taken aback, then cupped his hands in thanks. "Thanks! We're tired today, and my family hasn't had lunch yet, so we'll head back now."
"Okay." Lu Zheng smiled.
"Xinxin, let's go!" Gu Shouxin called out.
Gu Xin took a few steps, then turned back, moved her lips, and silently said: Brother Yuanyuan, I'll come find you in a bit!
Lu Zheng smiled and nodded.
The time-traveling trio: Seeing Xin Xin getting closer and closer to Lu Zheng, should they stop them?
After returning home, Gu Xin prepared a simple meal and then said she wanted to go talk to her grandparents.
The three time travelers weren't worried about her lying. This girl always liked to confide in her grandparents about things, and coincidentally, they also had something to say.
