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

Chapter 107 107. Account
Xu Huizhen felt like she was about to die. The abdominal pain she had felt before seemed to have disappeared, but she felt very cold all over.

She felt as if she were in an ice cellar, cold even to the bone, and her whole body began to feel weak and powerless.

"Grandma's teeth seem to be chattering. Is she cold?" Gu Antong whispered to her elder, who was still standing there bewildered.

"Mother, are you cold?" Gu Anchen also came to his senses and quickly pulled the blanket over her.

But what good is this blanket? Gu Kaichen, who prided himself on having read medical books, didn't even know that his body was cold, his breathing was rapid, he was delirious, and he was in danger of going into shock because of excessive blood loss.

One quilt wasn't enough, so he quickly added one more on top of another, which made Xu Yulan's hands tremble as she pressed on the wound, because she could feel that Xu Huizhen's body temperature was getting lower and lower, and her hands were also getting cold.

“Kai…Chen, call…your…elder…brother…in…” Xu Huizhen said, her voice trembling.

"Mom, just tell me what you need. My older brother is busy outside." Gu Kaichen was a little unwilling. Why were his parents always so biased? They always wanted to ask his older brother for everything. Wasn't he good enough?
"Go... call your older brother in." Xu Huizhen raised her head slightly and shouted out a sentence. She was already like this, couldn't Kaichen just go along with it?
"Husband, please call my elder brother over," Xu Yulan had already prepared for the worst, and her mind was filled with memories of how good Xu Huizhen had been to her.

I guessed that this might be my aunt making arrangements for her funeral, so I couldn't afford to argue with her at this time.

“Okay, I’ll go right away,” Gu Kaichen seemed to understand something at this moment, and quickly lifted the curtain and called out, “Big brother, Mother is looking for you.”

Gu Kaiyuan looked into the distance. Sure enough, it was still the same, nothing had changed. He hoped that the eldest son they had chosen would not disappoint them in the future.

Gu Anliang and Gu Anwei looked back anxiously, and they saw their grandfather.

Grandfather, however, seemed to be either worried about Grandmother or thinking about something else, one hand gripping the carriage, his eyes vacant.

Gu Anliang pursed his lips and slowly leaned closer. "Grandfather, why don't you sit on the carriage shaft for a while?"

Seeing the eldest grandson he had chosen, Gu Baijiang reached out and patted his head, but the stiff head made him frown.

Liu didn't even bother to tidy up the child; where was the refined and noble demeanor of the eldest grandson of the Gu family?

"Grandfather?" Gu Anliang was a little uneasy. Had he said something wrong?
"Grandfather is worried about your grandmother. He doesn't know if she can get through this ordeal."

If she survives unharmed, remember to be more filial to her in the future.

“Being filial to one’s grandparents is what Anliang should do, and his grandmother is a lucky person who will surely get through this safely.”

“Good,” Gu Baijiang nodded approvingly. “When we get to the next post station, Grandfather will find a way to take you to buy two books. Even though our family is in trouble now, you can’t fall behind in your studies.”

"Grandfather, do I still have a chance to take the imperial examination?" Gu Anliang's voice was somewhat low. "My teacher said that if I take the exam, I have a good chance of becoming a Xiucai (a successful candidate in the county-level imperial examination)."

Gu Baijiang paused, realizing he hadn't known about this before.

It was because of him that his grandson's future was delayed; otherwise, a ten-year-old scholar would have been a great blessing for the entire Gu family.

"Grandfather assures you that there will definitely be opportunities in the future. You must work hard and you will soar to great heights."

Gu Anliang's eyes flickered slightly, but he replied respectfully, "Grandson will follow his grandfather's teachings and also hopes to bring honor to our Gu family as soon as possible."

The grandfather and grandson chatted casually, but they were also listening intently to what was happening inside the carriage.

“Kaiping, you are your mother’s eldest son. I want you to promise me that even if your father remarries, you will only recognize me as your mother.”

When Xu Huizhen saw Gu Kaiping, she became much more energetic and spoke more clearly.

“Mother, how could Father possibly marry someone else?” Gu Kaiping’s eyes stung, but he still tried to remain calm as he said, “Of course, we brothers only recognize you as our mother. What other cats and dogs are worthy of us?” “Fine, you must remember what you said, or you will be unfilial.”

Also, even a small grave is fine, just remember not to leave my body to rot in the wilderness.

"If you and your descendants are able to do so in the future, remember to move me to the ancestral gravesite. I want to be buried with your father."

As Xu Huizhen spoke, a resolute stubbornness appeared in her eyes. So what if Gu Baijiang disliked her? She, Xu Huizhen, was his original wife. Even if she died, he wouldn't be able to escape her.

She no longer has the ability to avenge that kick, but she can wait.

Gu Kaiping agreed with tears in his eyes.

Xu Huizhen then looked at Gu Kaicheng and his wife, "You two must also get along well, and you can't quarrel in the future."

“Aunt, we didn’t quarrel,” Xu Yulan said, tears streaming down her face. These were the kinds of things elders liked to say before they passed away.

“Mother, my cousin and I were just joking,” Gu Kaichen said, his voice choked with emotion. “Besides, Mother is here. She won’t watch us argue.”

Every time the two of them argued, Mom would punish each of them equally, so neither of them could gain the upper hand. In the last two years, they have calmed down a lot.

Is there something wrong with Mom's memory? This happened ages ago, why is she bringing it up again?

"It's good that you're not arguing. From now on, listen to your older brother and don't listen to that old geezer of your father."

Gu Kaiping and Gu Kaichen quickly lowered their heads. They knew that their father had been by the carriage the whole time, and was probably listening to the conversation inside.

"Your father is a heartless man; he doesn't care about our years of marriage at all..."

Before she could finish speaking, a series of loud bangs echoed through the carriage, completely disrupting her thoughts.

"Your father...your father..." Xu Huizhen's eyes began to glaze over, and she fell silent.

"Mother?" Gu Kaiping placed his trembling fingers under her nose, but couldn't feel her breathing. His own breathing became rapid.

The banging sounds continued from the carriage, and he could no longer contain himself and roared, "Stop banging! My mother is gone!"

The sounds outside stopped abruptly, and Gu Baijiang breathed a sigh of relief.

That damned old hag, even on her deathbed, she still managed to screw herself over.

This is an attempt to sow discord between father and son; if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have tolerated her...

Gu Anliang didn't dare to speak, and regretted coming closer.

Looking at Gu Anwei following Gu Kaiyuan, she suddenly felt a little envious.

The words "Mother is gone" were like a switch being turned on, and a burst of crying echoed through the carriage.

Gu Kaiyuan immediately threw off the cow rope, turned around with his eyes already red, and rushed straight towards the carriage.

"Mother is gone? How could Mother be gone?"

He started the questioning, launching an indiscriminate attack on everyone in the carriage: "You said you came to take care of Mother, how are you taking care of her?"
