“Niannian, I don’t want to talk about this! I haven’t seen my father for many years! Since my mother passed away and my sister got married, I’ve been living alone. I started living with my grandmother last year.” Lu Zheng sighed.
“Yes, don’t mention that scumbag! He doesn’t deserve such a good son as our Yuanyuan!” Grandma Xiao chimed in.
"Grandma, isn't his father your son?" the emperor asked gossipy. How could there be an old lady willing to let her grandson take her mother's surname?
"Oh dear, Brother Ye, you have no idea, I would never acknowledge someone like that. My grandson's father is scum, a disgrace. Not only did he kill my grandson's mother, but he also almost made my granddaughter marry him. Less than half a year after his mother died, that scum got him a stepmother. Tell me, tell me, is this even acceptable? When he went to their house to propose marriage, the girl was a treasure to him. But after he got tired of her, she was just a weed. He couldn't even tolerate my grandson and granddaughter! How could I let my grandson take his surname? Absolutely not!" Grandma Xiao said angrily.
The emperor's gossipy eyes gleamed; he felt like he'd heard this story somewhere before, but he couldn't quite place it.
"Eat something! Xiao Ye, didn't you just sober up? Eat more now to help you calm down. You're coming back with us later, and it's a few hours' drive. If you don't calm down, you'll throw up again!" Grandma Gu picked up her chopsticks and urged everyone to eat.
...
After the meal, Gu Shouxin bought a donkey cart and then took Cai Xiaolian to the dock for a stroll, where they sold out all one hundred sets of toiletries they had brought.
He sold it to a traveling merchant, who even asked Gu Shouxin to leave his address, saying that if it sold well, he could come and buy it directly next time.
Gu Shouxin left his address. He wasn't worried about anyone having bad intentions. His family lived at the foot of the mountain, and the nearest neighbor was the old house. If these people wanted to kill and rob, they would have to consider whether they would be killed first.
Once everything is sold out, we'll meet at the city gate.
Lu Zheng drove his own carriage, inside which sat Grandma Xiao, Grandma Gu, and the two sisters.
Xue Qianyu drove the guards onto the donkey cart and drove it himself. Inside sat the emperor, Grandpa Gu, and Gu Shouxin.
Eunuch Fu and his four guards were on the donkey cart.
Xue Qianyu drove his car alongside Lu Zheng's, turning his head to look at Lu Zheng: "You've changed after all these years!"
Lu Zheng smiled but didn't say anything.
To be honest, the two had a very good relationship when they were young, and they stood on the same side again when they grew up. However, because of Gu Nian and Gu Xin, they went their separate ways.
He was reborn, but Xue Er was not.
He didn't know how to get along with Xue Er anymore; before his rebirth, he hadn't spoken to Xue Er for ten years.
Seeing that he ignored him, Xue Qianyu took a piece of silver from his purse and threw it directly at Lu Zheng's head.
Lu Zheng caught it steadily: "Young Master Xue seems to come from a wealthy family. Is this all you're giving us country bumpkins? That's far too stingy and doesn't do justice to Young Master Xue's status!"
Xue Qianyu laughed in exasperation: "Oh, so your stepmother isn't even sending you money anymore? Look at you, acting like you've never seen money before! But you haven't missed a beat, have you!"
Lu Zheng: "I have indeed never seen this before. Young Master Xue, why don't you throw in two more pieces?"
