Carrying the little lucky star, leading the villain on the road to exile

Chapter 129. Shared Ride
Rong Ruiyuan straightened his clothes, lifted the curtain and came out, and saw Gu Baijiang waiting outside with his two sons, followed by his granddaughter and grandson.

Rong Ruiyuan's gaze lingered briefly on Gu Antong before quickly turning to Gu Baijiang. "Lord Gu, I'm truly sorry for taking up your space yesterday."

"It is our honor to have you here. Please take good care of yourself."

We're about to depart, Master, would you like to have your meal first?

"Bring it up," Rong Ruiyuan said, glancing around. He noticed that many people were indeed packing their belongings, and the escorts were watching from a distance.

"An Tong, go and bring your mother breakfast over again." Gu Baijiang turned and instructed his granddaughter behind him, while he stepped forward to support Rong Ruiyuan. "Master, this wound still needs to be treated by a doctor as soon as possible."

I sat outside all night yesterday, and my old arms and legs are starting to give out.

He wanted to find Gu Kaiyuan, but he didn't dare to leave easily.

If this gentleman is going to leave with them today, then won't he also have to walk along?
But as soon as he thought about his plans, he immediately managed to control his expression.

"Peifeng helped me apply the medicine yesterday, so for now there's nothing serious."

I don't know when my people will be able to arrive, so I can only travel with you for the time being. I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Lord Gu again for the next few days.”

"This is an honor for a sinner like me."

"Let's not keep calling each other 'traitors.' This prince still hopes that one day you can return to the court."

"Thank you, Master. This old man will obey."

Rong Ruiyuan quickly washed up and followed Ming Peifeng to the fire. The fire had already gone out, but there was a pot of steaming rice porridge and a large bowl of fried rice balls on it. The most eye-catching dish was a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

"The conditions are rather basic, and the food ingredients are not very good. Please forgive us, Master."

"Is this what Lord Gu has been eating these past few days?" Rong Ruiyuan asked with concern. "Lord Gu, you've really had a hard time."

Gu Kaichen said, "How could that be? It's just that today's meal is a bit more elaborate; we usually eat nothing special."

Gu Baijiang didn't even have time to reprimand him; the atmosphere he had carefully built up was completely disrupted by this brat.

He could only force a smile and say, "Master, don't listen to my rascal's nonsense. Thanks to Lord Ming, we even had a banquet before."

“That’s the master’s intention,” Ming Peifeng knew that Gu Baijiang was trying to sow discord between him, but he wasn’t afraid. He knew that his master was intolerant of any wrongdoing, and he wouldn’t try anything funny.

The silver notes he was given were all given according to his master's instructions; he didn't embezzle a single copper coin.

"Yes, thank you for your concern, Master," Gu Baijiang bowed to Rong Ruiyuan again.

At this moment, Gu Antong knelt before Rong Ruiyuan, holding a bowl of white rice porridge. She leaned forward slightly, revealing her slender swan neck, and said in a very gentle voice, "Master, please have your meal."

Rong Ruiyuan stared intently, hesitated for a moment, and then took the bowl from her hand.

Her fingertips lightly brushed across Rong Ruiyuan's hand before she lowered her head in surprise.

"You are Lord Gu's eldest granddaughter?" Rong Ruiyuan seemed oblivious to all this, staring at the top of Gu Antong's head. "I've heard of you in the capital before, it's true that seeing is believing."

Gu Antong was overjoyed. It seemed that the preparations she and her mother had made were all worthwhile; a good reputation truly is something that must be cultivated.

"You flatter me, Master," Liu Yun said, placing two pots in front of them. "I still have a lot to learn."

Rong Ruiyuan nodded, said nothing more, and began to eat.

Liu Yun felt a pang of regret. Why did she interrupt at this moment? She had intended to play hard to get, but had she made things worse?
Gu Baijiang gave her no time to regret it, urging them to quickly put everything away, as the escorts wouldn't wait for them. "Father, what do you think about this..." Gu Kaiping leaned closer to Gu Baijiang, and even Gu Kaichen quickly joined in.

"You two hurry up and move the things," Gu Baijiang was so angry at these two idiots. Was this the time to talk about such things?

"Hurry up, everyone," Ma Zhi urged. Anyway, the boss had already given instructions to follow their rules. Otherwise, if they were delayed, who would be held responsible?

The convoy moved forward, with Rong Ruiyuan sitting alone in the carriage, followed closely by the Gu family.

After walking for about an hour, he seemed to hear the complaints of the two children from the Gu family.

"Grandfather, how much longer do we have to walk?" Gu Anwei was no longer interested in walking. "My legs are a little sore."

"Grandfather, why don't you let my younger brother rest on the carriage shaft for a while?" Gu Anliang knew that the people in the carriage were of high status, but what did that have to do with them?
Because of his arrival, they will suffer again, and Gu Anwei just happened to jump out first, so he took the opportunity to push things along.

"Just hang in there a little longer, we can stop and rest soon." Gu Baijiang wiped the sweat from his forehead. The sun had just risen, how could it be so hot?

The temperature difference between morning and evening is too great; this is the day when it's easiest to get sick, and he couldn't help but worry.

“Lord Gu,” Rong Ruiyuan lifted the curtain and gave the two Gu children a kind smile, “Let the children get in the carriage and rest. You can come up too.”

“This is against the rules,” Gu Baijiang quickly said. “The two children are ignorant and have disturbed you, Master. Please forgive them.”

"Lord Gu, it's all my fault. My arrival caused these children to suffer, and I feel terrible about it."

Forget about rules and regulations; when traveling, keep things simple. Hurry up and get on board.

Gu Baijiang pondered for a moment, then patted his two grandsons on the head, "Don't disturb the important guests after you get in the car."

"Yes, Grandfather, I will look after my younger brother."

The two children used their hands and feet to get onto the carriage in no time, and both of them obediently squeezed into a corner.

Rong Ruiyuan nodded in satisfaction, then said to Gu Baijiang, "Lord Gu, let's chat as well."

Gu Baijiang was helped into the carriage by his two sons and sat down with them. "Thank you, Master."

Rong Ruiyuan laughed out loud, "Lord Gu, you're being too distant with me. If anyone should thank me, it should be me."

"Look how spacious this area is, let the women come up quickly."

"This……"

"Lord Gu, is this disobeying this prince?"

Gu Baijiang immediately asked Liu Yun and the others to come up, and once they came up, the distance between them became shorter.

Whether intentionally or not, Gu Antong happened to be sitting next to Rong Ruiyuan.

Rong Ruiyuan seemed oblivious to all of this, and even talked to Gu Baijiang about matters of the court.

They talked about the events that had occurred during the days Gu Baijiang was away, and even asked Gu Baijiang for his opinion on these matters.

Gu Baijiang was quickly led along, continuing to follow Rong Ruiyuan's train of thought.

All of this seemed to have returned to the time before the house was raided, when he was advising Rong Ruiyuan.

But as the road became increasingly bumpy, there was more physical contact.
