"Molan...she has already left the mansion." Shu'er lowered her head feeling extremely guilty. She didn't expect that he cared so much about that maid, even more than she.

"It must be you! You tricked Molan into leaving, right? I knew it must be you. Women are the most vicious. Why are you pretending to be a gentle little white rabbit in front of me?"

Every word Ji Heng said was full of contempt and ridicule towards her. Shu'er had become accustomed to it and did not feel very sad. But at this moment, she saw a carriage hurrying up behind her.

"Who is it?" The guards brought by Ji Heng immediately rushed forward and stopped the carriage. Wherever they passed, they would vigilantly check the people around.

"It's us." Gu Yunru lifted the curtain. She was now dressed just like a country girl, with long big braids hanging in front of her chest and her ears clean. Even without any makeup, she had an extraordinary temperament.

Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen both came to Ji Heng and Shu'er. Shu'er thought she was dazzled, so she immediately jumped off the carriage, came to Gu Yunru, grabbed her hand and said, "Aunt, why... where are you going?"

"We are going to Yangzhou, what about you?"

"What a coincidence, we are also going to Yangzhou, why don't we go together."

Ji Heng's face was filled with embarrassment. He had never expected that the two of them were in sync with each other about going to Yangzhou. He looked at Rong Zhen in front of him and said, "Meet the prince. Why are you dressed so plainly when you go to Yangzhou this time?"

Ji Heng took a look at the two people's attire. One was a country man, and the other was a country woman. They were a perfect match. If they went there like this, no one would be able to recognize their identities.

"The two of us want to keep a low profile, so we can't go with you." Rong Zhen had an original plan and didn't want to go with him in order to avoid being recognized.

Shu'er could also understand why the two dressed so plainly and low-key, and reluctantly took Gu Yunru's hand and said, "Aunt, we can't go together, so let's make an appointment when we go to Yangzhou."

I didn't expect Shu'er to even use the word "date". Gu Yunru pinched her nose lovingly and said, "Okay, then you guys go first. We'll be behind you. Also, if this brat dares to bully you, you must tell your aunt."

Gu Yunru raised her pink fist and snorted coldly at Ji Heng, signaling him not to think of bullying her Shu'er, otherwise she would do everything she could to beat her into a sieve.

The few of them said goodbye, and Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen sat in the carriage. Gu Yunru thought of the last time she and Rong Zhen traveled to a foreign country, and it was extremely difficult at that time. She slowly leaned her head on his shoulder, and a happy smile flowed from the corner of her mouth.

"A Zhao, it would be great if we could travel around the world often like this in the future." Gu Yunru wanted to see this colorful world a few more times. The scenery along the way was different, and the people she met were also different.

"Okay, I'm willing to satisfy you whatever you want." Rong Zhen raised his fingertips and gently scratched her nose tip, very doting.

"Um."

The distance between the capital and Yangzhou is three or four days by boat after crossing Pingchuan. Shu'er and Ji Heng chartered a large boat by the lake. There were many other merchants here, all of whom were heading to Yangzhou.

"Let's go first. What's the point of waiting for them?" Ji Heng had already talked to the boatman and was about to set sail. He didn't want Shu'er to wait for those two people to come over, otherwise he would be in trouble.

"Don't be so anxious. The boatman said there will be heavy rain tonight and the boat cannot sail. Let's wait for a while. Maybe my aunt and the prince will really come." Shu'er stood on the shore anxiously looking at the carriage. Finally, Gu Yunru and Rong Zhen arrived.

"Aunt!" Shu'er ran forward excitedly, but Ji Heng had another idea in his mind at this moment. He really wanted to throw all these people on the shore.

"Shu'er...you haven't left yet?" Gu Yunru got off the carriage and smiled at her excitedly. He saw a large passenger ship parked on the shore not far away. Such a luxurious ship was rarely seen in the city.

"Well, I asked the boatman to wait a little longer, and finally you guys are here. It's very hard to wait for the boat here." Shu'er grinned and turned around to see that the boat had actually left.

"Hey!!!" Shu'er waved, but unfortunately the boat drifted too far away. Rong Zhen saw a bamboo raft parked nearby, which could barely accommodate three people, so he suggested that the three of them use the raft to catch up with the big passenger ship. When Gu Yunru heard this, she thought it was a bit unreliable, but when she saw Rong Zhen confidently picked up the oar, she sat on it.

Ji Heng was sitting in a small room at this time, drinking tea and listening to music, thinking that he had finally left them behind, but he did not expect that three people would come in one after another.

"How dare you tease us, you little brat!" Without saying a word, Gu Yunru kicked over the wooden table and chair in front of him, scaring Ji Heng.

"Aunt, don't do this or you will scare your husband." Shu'er still knew how to protect her at this time and stood in front of Gu Yunru, fearing that he would really scare her husband.

"This kind of person deserves to be cut into pieces. How dare you tease me, your aunt? I think you really want to die!" Gu Yunru rolled up his sleeves, ready to teach this guy a lesson. Suddenly, the boat shook violently and Gu Yunru fell into Rong Zhen's arms. Rong Zhen had good composure and quickly found a stable corner.

"The boatman said there will be heavy rain tonight. I don't let you get on the boat for your own good." Ji Heng said hypocritically, no longer able to remain calm. Looking at Shu'er, he almost rushed out and immediately grabbed her wrist.

Gu Yunru was thinking that she would settle the score with him after the storm calmed down.

After about half a cup of tea, the rainstorm on the sea finally subsided, and everyone was sorting out the scattered things in front of them.

"It is said that it will take another four or five days to reach Yangzhou. Shu'er, sleep with me during these five days. A'Zhao and Ji Heng, you two can sleep in the guest room." Gu Yunru had already arranged rooms for everyone. Ji Heng said nothing, looking at Shu'er's face full of pain. He grabbed her arm and found that his arm was scratched by something and bleeding.
