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

Chapter 19 019. Taking the Blame
Mrs. Bai did not relax because of Bai Suihe's words, "He'er, is your son-in-law really reliable?"

Now she was beginning to doubt whether her silly daughter had been deceived by her son-in-law.
He took out all the money he had saved, bought all the supplies and then gave them to his son-in-law. What could be more inappropriate?

"..." Bai Suihe blinked. It was not so easy to be the scapegoat. Even his character was questioned.

"You're just too kind. You shouldn't be so anxious to send people out to do these things." Madam Bai felt more and more that her guess was correct. "We must be on guard against others. If they really want to make preparations, shouldn't the Gu family pay for it themselves?"

Bai Suihe didn't expect that the excuse he came up with yesterday would have such a big flaw. "What Mom said makes sense, but the money has been spent. What should I do now?"

"Well," Mrs. Bai said, feeling somewhat disappointed with her son-in-law, but also somewhat glad that she had come today, "Why don't you have someone deliver it to your manor? Ask your maids to guard it there and don't rush to hand it over to your son-in-law."

In fact, Mrs. Bai did not fancy these tens of thousands of taels of silver, but just wanted her daughter to learn a lesson. Even if it was someone by her side, she could not entrust her wholeheartedly.

At first she thought a disaster was coming, but now she has to suspect that her son-in-law has ulterior motives.

"Don't worry, Mom. It won't take more than half a month to find out whether the truth is true or not. If nothing happens by then, I still have a few shops under my name that I haven't rented out yet. I can use them to run a grocery store."

Bai Suihe really didn't expect that Mrs. Bai would suspect Gu Kaiyuan, and now he can only let him take the blame.

Gu Kaiyuan, who had gotten up early to hurry on his way, sneezed several times. Lin Hua and Lin Wei, who were outside the carriage, quickly stopped it and said, "Master, you've caught a cold. There's a town ahead. You should go to the pharmacy."

Gu Kaiyuan shook his head. "There's nothing wrong with my body. Let's hurry up and try to get into the city by the afternoon."

It was about to arrive, and Gu Kaiyuan knew that it could not be changed, so he tried to find a way to prepare early.

After Mrs. Bai said this to Bai Suihe, her worries were relieved a little. She no longer took out the ten thousand taels of silver notes she had brought with her. If this silly girl was cheated in the future, she could give her some more money.

Seeing her bulging belly, he changed the subject, "How is the baby in your belly? Is there anything wrong with it?"

Bai Suihe stroked her belly, her eyes curved, "The baby is doing well, and is very considerate of me as a mother."

"That's good. You, the wet nurse and the midwife, should have prepared earlier. I just didn't know. Why don't you just mention it to the old lady? It's better to prepare as soon as possible."

Mrs. Bai was even more dissatisfied with the Gu family at this moment. The child was due in a few months, but nothing had been prepared in advance.

"How about I let Nanny Wu come and serve you for a few days?" After all, she is a capable person around him, and he would feel more at ease having her by his daughter's side.

"Mother, Aunt Wu is the elder by your side, and she has to help you take care of all the affairs outside, so it's a bit of a concession for her to be with me.

Don't worry, we have Dongmei and the others. I plan to promote some of them from the concubine houses."

Bai Suihe knew that Mrs. Bai could not do without Nanny Wu, and she was not the original owner. It was okay to fool Dongmei and Chunxiang, but he didn't dare to do it under Nanny Wu's nose, for fear of revealing his flaws.

"Just keep this in mind. Don't be so reckless in the future. If the Gu family is really in trouble, how could I not help you?

You are pregnant now, so don’t think too much.”

Looking at Bai Suihe's belly again, Mrs. Bai shook her head secretly. She was really worried and confused. It was possible that He'er was worrying too much because of her pregnancy.

Everything will be fine after the baby is born. She doesn't dare to provoke Bai Suihe anymore, for fear of making things worse.

Bai Suihe was unaware of Mrs. Bai's fantasies. The mother and daughter chatted for a while, then had dinner together. Mrs. Bai then said goodbye and went home. After all, there were so many things going on in the Bai Mansion, and she, the mistress of the house, couldn't stay here for long.

Bai Suihe and others sent the people out of the house, then returned to the yard and sighed deeply. This might be the last time the mother and daughter met.

"Miss, do you want to rest?" Dongmei removed the snacks on the table and replaced them with a plate of fruit. Since she became pregnant, the young lady loved the smell of this fruit the most.

"Take a rest. You have been busy for most of the day. You don't need to serve me here." Bai Suihe knew that the two maids were busy in and out, and their feet never touched the ground.

"I will help the young lady to rest first," Dongmei did not go down. The court doctor had reminded her that she should rest more during pregnancy, but the young lady seemed a little uncooperative.

……

Mrs. Bai returned to the mansion and immediately summoned Nanny Wu. "You should all pay more attention to the eldest lady these days. Do whatever she wants."

Nanny Wu: "...Madam?"

"I think that silly girl is just having some pregnancy reactions. She likes to think about all sorts of things. Just go along with her. I'm still hoping she can give me a smart grandson."

Although she said this, she also agreed in her heart that she should make preparations for both scenarios, so that if the Gu family really fell into trouble, her daughter would have a way out.

Holding her forehead, she now only had resentment towards Mr. Bai. If he had listened to her and arranged for his daughter to marry a man of similar family background, life would not have been so difficult.

The Gu family has so many rules that have changed the temperament of a carefree girl.

Thinking that she was about to become a grandmother, Mrs. Bai's eyes showed some more anticipation. Her daughter and son-in-law were both good-looking, and the child they would give birth to would definitely be good-looking too. For the sake of the child, the old lady of the Gu family should be nicer.

☆

Mrs. Bai's arrival has become the talk of the town in the Gu family today.

The servants who received the reward were all smiling, but those who missed it were filled with regret, thinking that the next time Madam Bai came, they must find a way to meet her.

Xu Yulan was playing with the bracelet in her hand and was initially quite happy, but after hearing the discussion of these servants, she felt a little uncomfortable.

As a married woman, every time her parents came, they would want to take away all the valuables on her body. Unlike Bai, she would just give away a bracelet worth hundreds of taels so lightly.

"Second Young Master's Madam," Bicao received rewards from both sides today and has already put on all the earrings and rings. Since she has been following the Second Young Master's Madam, today's rewards are the most abundant.

"The sun has already set. I will go back and get you a cloak."

"No need, let's go back." Xu Yulan's eyes moved around Bicao. She stood up and was about to go back when she turned her eyes and said, "Bicao, why do I suddenly feel a stomachache?"

Bicao said nervously, "Second Young Master's Madam, I will ask someone to call the palace doctor right away."

"Help me back to the yard first," Xu Yulan said weakly, "It's possible that my period has arrived early. I just don't know why the pain is so unbearable."

After all, Bicao's strength was limited. She was afraid that Xu Yulan would fall, so she called several maids working in the yard and carefully helped Xu Yulan back.
