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

Chapter 18. Mrs. Bai

Bai Suihe didn't understand at first and was still wondering, what are these people so happy about?
It was not until she entered the main courtyard and saw Mrs. Bai, dressed in jewels and two maids carrying trays behind her, that she understood what was going on.

In ancient times, people looked down on merchants, but they loved the silver in their hands.

It is estimated that Madam Bai has been throwing away a lot of things since she entered the mansion. No one noticed. Even Madam Zhou, who has always been serious, has a much softer look at her.

The old lady sat in the main seat, calling out "in-laws" with great joy. When she saw Bai Suihe come in, she waved lovingly, "Look at my third daughter-in-law coming here so quickly. She must have been looking forward to your arrival."

"My daughter is really thanks to the old lady for taking care of her. I spoiled her at home, so I need you to bear with her."

"They are all good children, and they behave very well. I always treat them as my own daughter..."

Bai Suihe had no idea how these two could come up with such a dishonest statement.

Mrs. Bai praised the old lady very highly and had never seen her smile like this before.

Liu Yun and Xu Yulan, who followed, had just finished the ceremony and had no time to speak when they each had an emerald green bracelet in their hands.

Mrs. Bai praised them again. The two of them didn't even remember why they came here this time, so they responded with a few words of praise.

Finally, the old lady spoke up, "You and your daughter haven't seen each other for a while. Let Bai take you to her yard to have a look. If there's anything inappropriate, feel free to speak up."

Mrs. Bai was polite to her again before leaving with her daughter.

Bai Suihe finally understood why the maids and servants in the main courtyard were so nice. When Madam Bai came here, the maids behind her were like children giving out money, giving rewards to everyone they saw. Although they were just some earrings and rings, they were no less than their monthly salary.

"Mom," in the memory, the original owner's mother was really nice to the original owner. Even when the Gu family was raided later, she still resisted the pressure and sent her own private property to him.

And when she was in exile, she also told Bai Suihe that if she had any difficulties, she should send someone to deliver a letter and she would find a way to help.

"There's no need to be so generous to them. These people won't remember it well." Bai Suihe felt it wasn't worth it when he thought about giving away so many things.

The old lady smiled so warmly just now, and I don’t know how much benefit she gained.

"You're still as petty as before," Madam Bai tapped Bai Suihe's forehead, "Things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Besides, they are all from our own shop, so they are not that expensive.”

Mrs. Bai looked at Bai Suihe carefully. "You're already over five months pregnant. Is there anything wrong?"

"Not really," Bai Suihe felt that this was the only advantage of the Gu Mansion. The population was relatively simple, without all those beautiful women, so naturally there was no need to guard against those secret tricks.

"Have you found the midwife and wet nurse? Or should we send them over?" Seeing that it was still the same familiar maids and old women, Mrs. Bai couldn't help but frown. Shouldn't a wealthy family make preparations earlier?

"I'll prepare it after a few days," Bai Suihe had never thought about it before and would never think about it in the future.

"You go down with Chunxiang and the others to rest for a while. I want to have a good chat with your young lady." Mrs. Bai felt that some things should be said to her daughter in private. Even if she was her confidant, she didn't need to know too much.

Bai Suihe was also thinking the same thing. She nodded and let Chunxiang and the others go down. After they closed the door, Madam Bai immediately asked impatiently, "What happened in the Gu Mansion? Why did you ask Madam Wu to prepare so many things?"

There are so many and so many things, covering everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. If it was just a grocery store, it would not be possible to invest so much.

Having witnessed the ups and downs of many wealthy families, Mrs. Bai has been feeling very worried these days.

Bai Suihe didn't expect Madam Bai to be so sensitive. With a turn of his eyes, he immediately said, "I noticed something was wrong. My father-in-law specifically told me yesterday that I should try not to go out to banquets these days and to keep a low profile."

"That's all?" Mrs. Bai wondered if her daughter was making a big deal out of nothing. Although no one in her family held official positions, they were well-informed and well-informed by the people of the city.

Bai Suihe pointed his finger upwards and said, "The princes are already grown up, and some of them are beginning to lose their patience. I'm afraid they will kill the chicken to scare the monkeys."

Mrs. Bai's heart shuddered, "...it's only been peaceful for a few years..."

If the regime cannot be smoothly transferred, it will not be good news for the people of the world.

And before that, there will inevitably be blood and gore for that position, and no one knows how many families will be involved.

Before, she was willing to obey the master and married her daughter into the Gu family because of their reputation. Now it seems that it was a wrong decision.

"Mother might have harmed you," Mrs. Bai had a complicated expression. Even if her daughter's current guess was wrong, considering her position as the Minister of State, how could she stay out of it?

She didn't even dare to think about how many tragedies there were in the fight for the throne in history.

"Is this news true?" Madam Bai immediately grabbed Bai Suihe's hand and said, "If it's not true, let's separate."

Bai Suihe also thought of separation at the beginning, but how could it be so easy?
Not to mention that Minister Gu would not agree, she proposed divorce for no reason, and who knows how much speculation it would cause.

She might escape, but the Bai family's brothers and sisters are so innocent that they will be criticized because of her, and their marriage plans will also be affected.

"We're a merchant family, we don't care about this," Mrs. Bai said, clearly seeing Bai Suihe's concerns. "It's only going to be a few years. At worst, we can just move to Jiangnan. Who would know about this?"

At this moment, Mrs. Bai wanted to pull Bai Suihe away regardless of the consequences, but Bai Suihe, who was familiar with the plot, knew that the Bai family was not under the control of Mrs. Bai.

Merchants are profit-driven. Even without Bai Suihe, the other unmarried girls in the Bai family can still find new backers.

Now that she is Bai Suihe of this world, she should repay the karma for her.

Moreover, what the baby said before also made her feel suspicious and wanted to find out the truth.

"Mother, don't panic. Even if something unexpected happened, considering Minister Gu's reputation, he won't be punished with death, but he might suffer some punishment."

Bai Suihe's words were vague, so Madam Bai believed it and didn't investigate further. Otherwise, the court was calm now, so how could she, a woman from the inner house, come up with such speculations?
"Besides, I'm making some preparations in advance so I won't be caught off guard. If nothing happens, the worst that can happen is I can just open a few more shops and not lose money."

"He'er's words make sense," Mrs. Bai frowned, "but why did you prepare so many things? If something really happened, how would you take away so much food and supplies?"

Bai Suihe whispered in her ear, "My husband has his own channels for handling household matters and will arrange all these things in advance."
