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

Chapter 163. Trouble
Gu Kaiyuan rubbed his stomach, looking pained, and asked, "So these two sides started fighting?"

“They started fighting, but by the time I got there, they were almost done fighting…” Gu Anwei added as if he had thought of something, “Grandpa is arguing with the Zhou family right now, they’re still arguing there.”

"Where are Old Madam Zhou and the others?" Bai Suihe knew there wouldn't be any unexpected changes, but what if something did happen?
"They were watching the show from the sidelines..." Even a child knew about the Zhou family's affairs, so Gu Anwei naturally knew what Bai Suihe wanted to ask.

Gu Kaiyuan leaned weakly on Bai Suihe's shoulder. "I'm in this state now, so I won't embarrass my family. You should quickly tell your grandfather that if Old Madam Zhou and the others join in, they should ask the clan leader for help."

Gu Anwei suspected that his third uncle was doing this on purpose. To be honest, his grandfather and Zhou Gang were somewhat similar; both were ungrateful.

If Madam Zhou doesn't help, do you think the Gu family will be willing to help?

But it's warm here, and he really doesn't want to go back. It's chaotic over there, and they might even start fighting. It's better to be able to relax here.

Seeing that the child was still sitting there without moving, Gu Kaiyuan didn't bother to argue with him and directly told him to go back and tell his grandfather that he was feeling unwell. It's not that I'm being unfilial as a son.

Gu Anwei hadn't yet mastered his cultivation and didn't have the thick skin, so he could only slowly stand up, move away from the fire, and then run towards the Gu family's home.

“This is just a hundred or two hundred schemes,” Bai Suihe pushed his head away. Even after everyone was gone, he was still putting on an act. “No wonder he’s a descendant of the Gu family.”

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Madam, you can't say that. I'm an anomaly in the Gu family, and I'm very proper."

Bai Suihe gave him a look, letting him figure it out for himself, "A fight is definitely going to break out later, and we don't know who will suffer this time."

With the escorts present, things have quieted down over there. However, Zhou Gang is a true villain and won't let it go so easily.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "The Gu family always has to pay a price to settle this matter. I just don't know who it will be this time..."

Gu Baijiang was angry to see his grandson return alone, but now was not the time to dwell on such matters.

At this moment, Zhou Gang sat down in front of him with an air of authority, ignoring the watchful escorts beside him, and he wasn't going to make a move.

"Lord Gu, we were officials in the same court before, and we have some friendship. I don't know where my daughter offended your eldest daughter, causing her to be embarrassed in public and almost lose her life."

Even if these adults are here, you still need to give us an explanation.

Although our Zhou family is currently in dire straits, we still have our pride. If you cannot give me a satisfactory answer, then we will fight to the death.

Zhou Gang had long disliked Gu Baijiang. If this were in court, he would definitely accuse him of forming a faction with the Third Prince and oppressing the common people...

"Lord Zhou, this is all a misunderstanding, just children playing around." Gu Baijiang really didn't take Zhou Gang seriously. This man had already been disliked by the Emperor and the princes and had no future. The fact that he was still willing to call him Lord Zhou was just him being polite.

Is this just playing around?

Besides, look at your family, your eldest daughter is already married, so where did this talk of children come from?

After Zhou Gang finished speaking, he pulled his daughter over. "My daughter is only ten years old. I don't even dare to call her a child." Madam Zhou helped her daughter straighten her clothes with a pained expression. Gu Antong had just torn off her skirt, which was going to ruin her daughter's reputation. If word got out, how would she ever find a good husband?

No, it's already spread. Quite a few people saw it today, so this matter can't just be left like this.

"I'll have An Tong apologize to Zhou's niece," Gu Baijiang said, though he had no choice but to help Gu An Tong clean up the mess.

He noticed that since the Third Prince arrived, Gu Antong's temper had worsened, and her voice had become louder and louder.

But it's fine if she makes a fuss with her family. What's it to her that she's just a little girl? Will it sound good if word gets out?
"Apologize?" Zhou Gang always made others suffer, he wouldn't hold his breath. "Not everything can be solved with an apology. I do have a solution."

"I'd like to hear the details." Gu Baijiang had a bad feeling; the method he was talking about probably wouldn't be so simple.

"As long as your eldest granddaughter goes through what my daughter went through, that's fine."

Gu Antong's expression changed drastically, her face darkening. "Don't push your luck."

"If that little girl hadn't slapped me as she walked by, I wouldn't have hit her. If anyone should apologize, it should be her."

"You vicious woman," Madam Zhou pointed at Gu Antong and cursed, "You only accidentally touched you with the hem of your skirt, and you attacked me like this. It shows how wicked you are. Let everyone judge for themselves how the hem of your skirt touched you."
Did it hit your face? Or did it hurt you?
I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen anyone like you.

How could such a young and beautiful girl say such vicious and stupid things?

I understand. You don't think that just because you've latched onto the Third Prince, you're superior to everyone else?
"Let me tell you, don't dream. With your status as a convicted woman, the royal family will never acknowledge you. Even if the Third Prince likes you, at most you'll be a mistress without any official title."

After saying that, she turned to Zhou Gang angrily and said, "Master, I don't agree with what you just said. I must make her pay back double."

Besides, you do have old friends in the court. When we reach the next post station, we'll write to those friends and have them report to His Majesty that Lord Gu has failed to properly educate his daughter, that she engaged in illicit relations with someone without a matchmaker during her exile, that she violated the virtues of a woman, that she was trying to climb the social ladder, and that she was deceiving the royal family..."

"Enough!" As expected of a family of censors, they could come up with all sorts of accusations without hesitation. Not to mention reporting this to His Majesty, if this got out, it would make it impossible for the Gu family to live in peace.

Gu Baijiang could no longer hold back, "Lord Zhou, how could you let your wife slander me like this..."

"Lord Gu, everyone knows whether it's slander or not," Zhou Gang sneered. It's true that you don't know the pain until you're cut yourself. You can't even bear it?

"Lord Gu really put on a good show in the capital. He covered up all the messy things in the house very well."

No wonder you're so hypocritical; you've raised such a bad granddaughter.

If we don't do as we say today, this matter won't be over.

Zhou Gang knew that once people left, the tea would cool, and his old friends in the court would certainly not be willing to offend the Third Prince for his sake, but that didn't stop him from using his influence to make the Gu family wary.

As for His Majesty, he will one day understand his good intentions. All his previous actions were for the sake of the royal family. If His Majesty does not suppress these sons, the court will fall into chaos sooner or later.
