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

Chapter 120. Retrieve
Where did the things come from? Gu Kaiyuan knew perfectly well that they must have been sent from the Third Prince's side.

No wonder the Gu family is so generous today, offering several superior rooms and a grand banquet; they seem to have plenty to offer.

“If I’m not mistaken, there should be silver notes inside.” Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe made eye contact, and he immediately guessed what the other was thinking.

Bai Suihe smiled at him, revealing her teeth, "It's never good for a family to eat alone..."

Gu Kaiyuan continued, "Madam suffered a grievance with me today, so it's time to make it up to her properly."

Having rested well in the space, neither of them felt sleepy. Bai Suihe pulled out several books. "Husband, how about we pass the time?"

Gu Kaiyuan, “…”

A rich young lady clings to me, adding fragrance to my life on my journey to the imperial examinations; a poor scholar's path to success in the examinations...

These books look familiar. Didn't he already ask Lin Wei to handle them? Why are they still here?

“I noticed that you seem to really enjoy these books, so I had Chunxiang and the others gather some back. The night is long, my husband, you can reread them…”

Gu Kaiyuan hurriedly put all the books back together. "Madam, these are all written by those pedantic scholars. They are all unrealistic ideas. There is no need to waste time on them."

"If you're feeling bored, madam, how about we play a couple of rounds of handball?"

Bai Suihe may not know those fancy games, but she does know how to play Gomoku.

“In that case, I will teach my husband another novel way to play.”

Bai Suihe laid out the Go board and briefly explained the rules of Gomoku. Gu Kaiyuan immediately understood and said, "It doesn't seem too difficult. I've really learned a lot today."

In the first two rounds, Bai Suihe, being an experienced player, won easily. However, after the third round, Bai Suihe could no longer experience the joy of victory.

Gu Kaiyuan didn't know where Bai Suihe got these strange and unusual ways of playing, but this game was simple and didn't require much brainpower, so it was a good way to pass the time.

Having figured out the pattern, he became a little carried away and won several games in a row. When he came to his senses, he realized that his wife was playing chess slower and slower and was also somewhat distracted.

"But tired?"

Bai Suihe looked up at him, pouted, and said, "I'm tired."

Gu Kaiyuan touched the bridge of his nose, then looked out the window. The moon was already high in the sky, and the entire post station was unusually quiet.

"Then you should rest early. I'll be right back." Gu Kaiyuan put away the chess pieces, stood up, and was about to leave when Bai Suihe grabbed his hand.

Bai Suihe said, "I'll go with you. I can keep watch for you."

Although it is late at night, there are still escorts on duty at this post station.

Gu Kaiyuan patted her hand, "I'm just going to the outhouse."

Bai Suihe, "How about I send you to my spatial dimension?"

"..." I almost forgot about that. Gu Kaiyuan said, "It's inconvenient for you to be pregnant, and I'm not sure if there are any men in black guarding upstairs. I'm afraid you'll be distracted if you come with me."

Bai Suihe felt a little embarrassed, almost forgetting her own current situation. Going out at this moment would only be a hindrance to Gu Kaiyuan.

"Then you'd better be careful. If it doesn't work out, we won't force you."

Gu Kaiyuan nodded to her, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Bai Suihe couldn't help, so she could only wait anxiously in the room. She had witnessed Gu Kaiyuan's skills, and according to the plot of the book, Gu Kaiyuan also had his own adventures when he was in trouble.

Even though she was anxious, she didn't dare go out to check, for fear of alerting others and causing unnecessary trouble. Less than fifteen minutes later, the door was pushed open again, and Gu Kaiyuan slipped in, closing the door behind him.

Bai Suihe: "...Is anyone outside?"

Gu Kaiyuan went over and blew out the candle, then said in a low voice, "Let's go inside."

Gu Kaiyuan felt a blur before his eyes and found himself in the space.

"Did you get it?" Bai Suihe asked nervously. "Did you alert anyone?"

Gu Kaiyuan: "The guards on night watch are dozing off, and no one is noticing."

As she spoke, she placed the wooden box she had just picked up directly on the dining table and opened it. "The old man values ​​it highly; he even sleeps with it. I wonder what treasure it is..."

A box of silver notes, with a jade pendant on top.

Gu Kaiyuan looked at the white jade dragon-patterned pendant in front of him, his eyes narrowing dangerously. This thing looked too familiar. It had been worn by Gu Antong ever since. It seemed that this was the promise given by the Third Prince.

But something's not right. The Third Prince shouldn't have left the capital yet, so how could this thing have appeared ahead of schedule?
"Is there something wrong?" Bai Suihe saw him staring blankly at the jade pendant and gently nudged him. "Was this jade pendant given to you by the Third Prince?"

The dragon pattern on it is not something an ordinary family can use. Although Bai Suihe had doubts, he was quite certain.

"It seems the people sent by the Third Prince have made contact with your father. Is the next step to divide the profits?"

Gu Kaiyuan nodded with a complicated expression, "The timing should be about right."

The Third Prince has left the capital under the guise of running errands, and we'll be traveling together for a while. From now on, we need to downplay our presence.

Bai Suihe's expression was solemn. "I have no problem with it, but I'm afraid the other members of the Gu family won't let us off easily."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Don't worry, they probably don't want us to appear in front of them either."

Bai Suihe turned her head to look at him.

Gu Kaiyuan said with a wry smile, "How could they allow us to get involved in this only path to heaven?"

Bai Suihe reached out and patted his shoulder, "You've lived through a lifetime, can't you accept it yet?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, “This is different. In my previous life, I lived in a daze and didn’t see their true character at first. This time, I’m in the game, but I can still see everything clearly. I can’t help but feel sorry for myself in my previous life.”

Since Gu Kaiyuan is now hers, Bai Suihe still felt she should reassure him, "Life is already difficult enough, why make things harder for yourself? We all have this rare opportunity, we can't let ourselves suffer even more."

Don't worry, as long as you don't abandon me, the baby and I will always be your strongest support.

Bai Suihe knew that it was impossible to completely separate from Gu Kaiyuan.

These days she's also been working hard to integrate herself into this world.

Gu Kaiyuan is tall and handsome, much more so than those young heartthrobs. If he can maintain this appearance, spending a lifetime together is not out of the question.

Gu Kaiyuan glanced at Bai Suihe. He owed this woman and her baby too much in his past life. How could he possibly betray her? "It would be too much for me to say now. Let's wait and see."

Even with her thick skin, Bai Suihe felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and quickly changed the subject, "How many silver notes are in here?"

No wonder the Gu family was so generous today, providing several superior rooms and fine wine and food.

I wonder how interesting their expressions will be when they discover the money is missing tomorrow?
Looking at the sky outside, I felt that it was getting light rather late.
