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

Chapter 133, Section 133: Threat
"Sister-in-law, the Gu family's current background and status will not provide An Tong with any assistance."

"We've seen plenty of infighting among the women of the inner court over the years, let alone in the royal family," Xu Yulan continued, pressing on. "If we don't resolve our identities first, if An Tong suffers any injustice or encounters any trouble in the future, her life or death will be in the hands of others."

Liu Yun shivered, and when she looked at Rong Ruiyuan again, he seemed like a raging beast that was about to devour her.

"It can't be that serious..." At this moment, she couldn't help but think of what she had seen at the Zhenyuan Marquis's mansion. The women of the Marquis's mansion could fight to the death for honor, let alone the royal family.

Xu Yulan ignored her. It can't be that serious? Then don't ask such vague questions.

She wasn't trying to kindly remind Liu Yun; she wanted the eldest son's family to stand with them so that they could persuade the old man.

Look at all the men in the Gu family surrounding the Third Prince, showering him with concern. Aren't they tired at this point?
Since she didn't have much to offer while traveling, Liu Yun cut up some cured meat and put it in water to make a soup base.

When I finally made a pot of steaming hot noodles, it looked so unappetizing that it was hardly presentable.

"Why didn't you buy any vegetables or eggs?" Gu Baijiang was displeased when he saw that today's meal was even worse than before.

"The eggs we bought before were all cracked on the way, so we don't dare to buy any more."

"As for vegetables, we used them all up at noon today. I was hoping to pick some wild vegetables with everyone today, but it's already dark by the time we get here." Seeing that Liu Yun didn't answer, Xu Yulan could only bite the bullet and say.

"Lord Gu, please don't criticize me. I'll just eat a little bit." Rong Ruiyuan had seen other people's meals before, and they were all pretty much the same, just barely edible.

Besides, he already had a clear idea of ​​the purpose of his trip, so of course he wouldn't care about these details.

"I'm truly sorry for the poor hospitality," Gu Baijiang said, personally serving him a bowl of noodles. "When we get to the post station, I'll definitely buy more things."

Rong Ruiyuan took it, "Everyone has had a long day, let's eat together."

Fortunately, the previous good manners remained, and even though everyone was very hungry, they tried their best to abide by the rules, making the meal relatively peaceful.

Bai Suihe thought that there would be nothing for them today, and she packed up her things and was ready to rest, but who knew that there would be rare guests.

"Third Uncle," Gu Antong quietly slipped over, and Bai Suihe and the others only noticed her when she touched him.

"An Tong?" Gu Kaiyuan was a little puzzled. They were all far away, how could Gu An Tong still find them? Shouldn't these forwards be his parents' doing?

"Third Uncle, Third Aunt, are you getting ready to rest?" Gu Antong bowed. "I apologize for disturbing you."

"You knew you were bothering me, yet you still came," Gu Kaiyuan said, no longer bothering to pretend when he saw his nemesis from a past life.

"Third Uncle, your niece has come to ask you for a favor..."

"No, your third uncle is the most useless member of the Gu family. Can you please stop thinking of me for every little thing?"
Why not just ignore my existence as before? You did a good job before, keep it up.

Gu Kaiyuan knew that the Gu family members never came to his door without a reason, and every word they uttered was bound to be bad.

He could even guess what his dear niece was going to say next.
But they think too highly of themselves. Do they really expect him to be able to do whatever he wants with them like he did in his previous life?

"Third Aunt?" Gu Antong was annoyed, but now that she needed her help, she could only turn to Bai Suihe for help. "I know that I had some misunderstandings with Third Aunt before, but as a junior in the family, I can't make many decisions on my own."

An Tong believes she hasn't done anything to wrong her third aunt. "I was forced into this situation, that's why I came here for help." Bai Suihe, however, wanted to hear what the woman had to say. "An Tong, don't beat around the bush. What brings you here at this hour?"

To build a relationship? It seems like they don't have one.

"Third Aunt, do you know who's staying with us right now?"

"I've heard your mother mention him, isn't he the Third Prince?" Gu Kaiyuan wouldn't let his wife speak first, so he naturally took over the conversation.

"What can he do for us? Can he help us get out of our current predicament?"

It's your business if you want to support us, but why do you have to drag us into this?

Last time your mother came over and asked for clothes, what do you want this time?

Even with her thick skin, Gu Antong was momentarily at a loss. Her third uncle and the others had guessed her purpose. Could she still succeed this time?

No, in order to make a good impression on the Third Prince, she really had to give it a try.

"Third Uncle, you know that Grandmother passed away in the carriage, and the bedding was stained with the smell of medicine. It was really not appropriate to entertain His Highness the Third Prince. Our entire Gu family shares the same fate, and it is time for Third Uncle to do something for our Gu family."

"Could you perhaps tidy up the carriage so that the Third Prince can rest comfortably?"

Then she noticed her coarse clothes. "Grandfather asked me to serve the Third Prince. Could Third Aunt lend me a couple of suitable clothes?"

Bai Suihe blinked and looked at Gu Kaiyuan. Before, she only felt that the family's interactions were strange in the book, but now she finally found the reason.

If you don't have anything, just reach out and ask for it. What does that have to do with outright robbery?
To ensure his family's comfort, the villain Gu Kaiyuan barely stopped along the way, immediately starting to hunt upon arrival, neglecting even his pregnant wife and children.

The prey they hunted all ended up in the mouths of this family, or they were used to trade for supplies with other families, making the family plump and fat, while his pregnant wife became thin and bony, and even died along with her unborn child because of Gu Antong.

Thinking of this, Bai Suihe's heart tightened. She had almost forgotten about this matter; her life-or-death ordeal was also approaching.

"Third Aunt?" Gu Antong received no response, so she raised her voice, "Third Aunt is unwilling?"
Third Aunt, don't forget, if you don't think about yourself, don't you think about the Bai family too?

Bai Suihe took a deep breath. "Are you threatening us?"

"I just don't want my third aunt to do anything foolish. You should know that offending a prince is a disaster for a merchant family."

Bai Suihe, "It seems you're determined to succeed on this trip?"

"I'm doing this for the sake of the entire Gu family," Gu Antong actually didn't want to make this trip herself, as it would damage her reputation. However, she still caught the Third Prince's various expressions of disgust in the carriage today, and as his future confidante, she naturally had to think what the prince thought.

"Do you think the Bai family was able to maintain its enormous fortune in the capital because of their skillful management?" Bai Suihe smirked sarcastically.

Gu Antong said, "That's because you relied on the Gu family before..."

"You're mistaken. The Bai family had already established a foothold in the capital before the Gu family entered the imperial court..."
