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

Chapter 196. No need.
Although Gu Kaiyuan wasn't present at the time, he had already managed to extract information from Gu Anwei and the others.

At that time, her father's ruthlessness had frightened Gu Antong and the others who had witnessed everything.

Otherwise, Gu Antong wouldn't have developed a high fever from the shock.

Even if Gu Kaiyuan had known earlier that Bai Suihe had these good medicines, he would not have agreed to take them out.

Besides being unable to explain the source, he also doesn't trust the Gu family.

No one knew the character of this family better than him.

If the medicine he produces can heal his mother's wounds, he will definitely be interrogated about its source, and may even be used as leverage to make a deal with the Third Prince.

Thinking of the possible consequences, Gu Kaiyuan gripped Bai Suihe's hand even tighter. "You can't take this medicine out. Even if we want to use it, we have to think twice."

Bai Suihe glanced at her hand, and Gu Kaiyuan quickly let go. Seeing the red mark on the back of her hand, she said apologetically, "I lost my composure."

Bai Suihe: "It's okay, but I'll listen to you and won't take it out. Don't worry."

Bai Suihe cherished this hard-won second life, but dared not gamble on human nature, for few have ever won such a gamble throughout history.

Having just described these medicines in such detail, I'd really like to know what Gu Kaiyuan's plans are.
Fortunately, this man didn't have much ambition and wouldn't drag her into a terrible situation.

Since the medicine that had been taken out could not be put back, Bai Suihe simply put it in the cabinet along with the medicine box.

"You can't sleep tonight because of this."

Bai Suihe: "I just suddenly remembered this. There are so many things here that sometimes I can't even remember what's in it. Could you help me remember more? I feel like my memory hasn't been very good lately."

Bai Suihe thought of the saying that pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. Could she have this problem too?

"Then when we reach the next post station, we'll have a doctor take a good look at our pulse." Gu Kaiyuan was also afraid that something might go wrong.

"Let's wait until we reach the next post station. At this rate, who knows how long it will be before we meet again."

A book wouldn't explain it this clearly, but Gu Kaiyuan, who experienced it firsthand, should know, "Do you remember?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "I remember, after we passed through this forest, we arrived at the post station."

Bai Suihe, "...So close?"

Gu Kaiyuan chuckled and touched his nose. "This mountain forest is quite large. At this rate, it will take six or seven days to get out."

"So far?" Bai Suihe couldn't believe it; had they walked into a primeval forest?
"There's no other way. If we rode at full speed, we could get out in two days. But because of the rain and snow, it will take longer." What Gu Kaiyuan didn't mention was that there were still a few obstacles ahead. Although there were so many of them, they weren't afraid. Every time they stopped, it was a waste of time.

Since they were already inside, the two decided to rest in the space. When they went out again, neither of them felt sleepy, so they sat by the fire and chatted idly.

In the middle of the night, the two even started making dry rations, and Chunxiang and the others woke up to the smell of the food.

"Miss, aren't you resting?" Dongmei was a little angry. Had her mistress forgotten that she was pregnant? Most importantly, why was her son-in-law also making a fuss?

Receiving angry glares from the two maids, Gu Kaiyuan could only lower his head. They had rested well, but for a moment they forgot that the others were unaware. Bai Suihe could only smile and smooth things over, "You all know that I did nothing all day, taking nap after nap. After sleeping so much, I couldn't fall asleep again."

"That's why I've dragged your son-in-law into my antics. I'll definitely sleep less during the day."

Dongmei said, "...Miss, you should go to sleep. You haven't slept all night, and if you don't sleep during the day, how can your body take it?"

Oh dear, this is really difficult. Sleeping is not right, and not sleeping is not right either. Miss is really giving these two maids a tough problem.

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. You all should hurry up and wash up, eat something, and we'll be packing to leave soon."

Dongmei and the others stopped saying anything, quickly packed up their things, and then ushered Bai Suihe and Gu Kaiyuan into the carriage so they could rest as soon as possible.

Having failed to catch anyone yesterday, Gu Kaiping has come again this morning.

Gu Kaiyuan: "Big brother, is something the matter?"

"Your father needs to see you. I came looking for you yesterday, but I couldn't find you. How did you end up with the caravan behind here? Hurry up and come back with me. It's better for the family to stay together from now on. If you keep dragging your feet like this, what will happen if the guards cause trouble?"

Gu Kaiyuan's lips curled up. "Brother, you're overthinking it. Have you forgotten why I wasn't here when you came to see me yesterday?"

Gu Kaiping, “…”

"Yesterday I had drinks with Lord Liu and two镖头 (bodyguards). They are all good people and were willing to take care of us. Besides, they saw that your sister-in-law was heavily pregnant and it was not easy for her, so they let us stay with their group so that we wouldn't be frightened."

As for my father looking for me, I think we've already made things quite clear before. Does my older brother really want me to go back?

Gu Kaiyuan was betting on Gu Laoda's greed; how could he possibly let him go back and get a share of the profits?

“I will keep my word on what we discussed before, but we are all family after all. Since you have such good skills, you should take better care of the family.”

Gu Kaiyuan shook his head and laughed sarcastically, "Brother, you really know how to scheme. You don't give me any of the benefits, but you think of me when it comes to trouble."

Does my older brother think I have the word "idiot" etched on my forehead?

"Don't put it so harshly. This isn't just my idea; it's Dad's idea."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Does Father not believe that the guards can protect everyone? Don't forget, I'm also a prisoner. If a real fight breaks out, can my elder brother provide me with weapons? Or do you expect me to fight bare-handed?"

I borrowed weapons from them when I went hunting in the mountains, and I didn't go alone; there were also people from the escort agency and Lord Liu's men.

Go back and tell your father, "I'm only a little stronger than the average person, but even if I encounter those robbers, I still have to obediently hide. I can't protect everyone."

They want to use him as a free thug and try to morally blackmail him. This time, he won't take the bait. Let's see what they do next.
"Father already sent me to call you, aren't you going to come?"

Gu Kaiyuan pointed to the convoy that was still moving forward and said, "I advise you to hurry up and catch up with the convoy, otherwise you'll fall behind and become a fugitive."

At the same time, she despised Gu Kaiping in her heart. He had already made his point so clear, yet he still came to make things difficult for her time and time again. With his low emotional intelligence, how could he possibly survive in the officialdom? Even if he were given the opportunity to return to the court in the future, without Gu Antong's help from the Third Prince, he would probably suffer the same fate, or even worse.
