He was someone who had actually been to the palace; he had a trauma from it.
"Dad, I'm sorry!" Gu Nian also thought of this, handed the carrying pole to Gu Shouxin, and stuck out her tongue.
Forget about the psychological trauma of our Ninth Prince. Be more careful in the future and don't say such things in front of him.
"Uncle, the IOU is on him. Lift him up, and I'll search him!" Lu Zheng suppressed his doubts and stepped forward to say.
At this moment, some of the thugs who had been knocked away quite a distance planned to sneak away through the side door.
Seeing that things were going badly, Cai Xiaolian shouted, "Hey! Where are you going, you little bastard!"
After saying that, he even threw the cake knife in his hand in that direction.
Of course, she was just trying to scare him; she wasn't actually aiming at the person at all, and she was very far away.
"Clang!" The knife landed firmly on the gambling table, even wobbling a couple of times.
Cai Xiaolian never expected the knife to be so useful.
Gu Nian and Gu Xin: Mom is so amazing! She wielded that knife with such skill!
Lu Zheng's thugs who were trying to escape: "..."
What a fierce woman.
Gu Shouxin lifted the man up, and Lu Zheng searched him and found the IOU on his person.
It was indeed the one where the original owner, Gu Shouxin, pressed his fingerprint. Gu Shouxin searched his memory and found that the original owner only had this one IOU. All the others had been paid off, and the old house had helped to pay them off, so the people from the gambling den didn't dare to cause trouble at the old house.
"Here's three hundred taels. Forget about the medicine money; you scared my daughter today. I'll take the IOU." Gu Shouxin tucked the silver note into Big Leopard's pocket, patted his face, and gave him a gentle, harmless smile. "Oh, right, I also want to thank you for bringing your brothers to spar with me."
The family of four left the gambling den, with Lu Zheng following behind.
"Young brother, thank you for your help today! It's almost noon, so how about I treat you to a meal?" Gu Shouxin finished tidying up the oxcart, cupped his hands to Lu Zheng, and said with a smile.
“Okay!” It was just a polite remark, but Lu Zheng agreed without hesitation and even glanced at Gu Xin.
As it happened, Gu Xin and Gu Nian were holding hands.
Gu Shouxin and Cai Xiaolian once again realized that Lu Zheng and the original owner Gu Nian knew each other, and the young man's eyes were so intense that he was probably the original owner's suitor!
Gu Shouxin: He's quite skilled and seems steady.
Cai Xiaolian: A handsome young man, not yet a weak scholar, hmm, very good, quite pleasing.
Both of them turned their gazes toward Gu Nian at the same time.
Gu Nian: "..."
I bet, I swear, this handsome guy is definitely not interested in me. He's not looking at me, he's definitely not looking at me.
None of the three suspected Gu Xin, after all, Gu Xin was only ten years old. Although she had been eating better in the past few days and was a little fairer than before, her face looked a bit fuller.
There was a restaurant on the street next to the gambling den. The group did not take an oxcart or ride horses.
Gu Shouxin held the cow's hand in one hand and Gu Xin's hand in the other. Gu Xin held Gu Nian's hand, and Gu Nian was holding Cai Xiaolian's arm.
The street was half occupied by this family of four.
With Lu Zheng walking on the other side of the ox and leading a horse, well, the street was almost completely occupied.
Moreover, from a distance, no one could tell what kind of five-person "ox and horse" combination it was!
They arrived at the restaurant not long after they started walking. The waiter offered to help lead the horse and the ox. Gu Shouxin naturally carried the basket on the oxcart. As for the cakes in the basket, he decided to sell them after they finished eating.
