Chapter 201. The Robbers
Seeing Bai Suihe prick up her ears, Gu Kaiyuan felt that his memories from his previous life might still be of some use. "Their eldest brother had a younger sister whose birth chart was quite strong. She was engaged twice when she was young, but both times she died before reaching the appropriate age."

When she reached marriageable age, she finally chose someone to marry. However, her second husband died on the third day after their wedding, leaving her a widow.

In the countryside, it's normal for widows to remarry. But no one expected that she would become a widow again in less than half a month after her second marriage. Now everyone is wary of such behavior. Even if there is an elder brother who is the boss, no one dares to gamble with their life.

Someone suggested to the robber that she could find a husband for him outside and bring him back. If the man she kidnapped dared to disobey her, she could beat him up and replace him with another one without any loss.

After hearing this, the gang leader thought about it carefully and realized it was true, so he actually started robbing people on the road.

We've robbed people before, but the men we robbed all felt it was a great humiliation and naturally didn't want to go back with them. So they struggled and resisted, and before we could even get what we wanted, they were taken away again.

Bai Suihe was dumbfounded. "Are you sure you're not telling some kind of legendary story?"
How can there be such a thing in this world? If you ask me, it's all because those men are unlucky; you can't put all the blame on the women.

Think about it, his older brother works in this line of work, so his brother-in-law must have been one of those men. They all risk their lives, so it's normal for them to die young. How can you pin all the blame on women?

Even though the other party was the robber's sister, Bai Suihe couldn't help but defend her.

The men in this family are the ones who committed this sin, yet the women have to bear the blame.

"What you said is possible. However, their judgment was quite good at the beginning, and they took a liking to the clerk. But for some reason, they ended up taking a liking to Gu Kaichen and Chen Dafu's two sons."

Bai Suihe, "Are you feeling a little regretful??" Regretful that you didn't like him?

The book doesn't describe it in such detail; it only says that the journey was very dangerous, and they encountered many bandits.

After experiencing various hardships and mishaps, they finally managed to run through this mountain forest.

I never expected there would be such an interesting thing involved.

Bai Suihe is not worried about his safety at all. Even without two escort agencies and so many guards, those escorts could still bring people to Lingnan, let alone this time.

Gu Kaiyuan leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Apart from Madam, even a celestial beauty wouldn't be able to touch me..."

Bai Suihe suddenly felt her ears burning and pushed the person away from her. "Why are you so close when you're just talking?"

“There can’t be any distance between us as husband and wife.” Ever since the baby told him that Bai Suihe had only temporarily forgotten him, Gu Kaiyuan’s previous unease had long since dissipated.

This is his wife, the person he wants to spend his life with, so naturally he wants to rebuild their relationship.

Moreover, judging from Suihe's shy appearance, it's not that she has no feelings for him.

Bai Suihe was unaware of his thoughts; otherwise, if he had actually put his hands on his hips and started cursing, breathing into someone's ear, anyone would have felt uncomfortable.

“Go on,” Bai Suihe said, not wanting to continue on this topic, and asked with a curious look, “Your second brother probably didn’t know any of this at the time, and why did those two children from the Chen family disagree? If they had gone with them, they wouldn’t have had to suffer this exile.”

“Once we’re done here, I’ll take you to see the boss in person,” Gu Kaiyuan still had a deep impression of that man; his image was simply too interesting.

Bai Suihe's mind conjured up a series of ugly characters. "Is he not good-looking enough?" "Madam is indeed clever," Gu Kaiyuan flattered her slightly. "With the snow outside, a little more snow would cover him up..."

"And what about his appearance?"

Gu Kaiyuan displayed his handsome face in front of her, saying, "If the other person had a face as handsome as mine, maybe the person he chooses wouldn't refuse."

Bai Suihe covered his face with her hand and pushed him away. "You're really vain. Don't change the subject. Do you still remember what that person looked like?"

"I do remember what he looked like; he was a little uglier than Chen Dafu."

Bai Suihe laughed out loud, "That Lord Chen isn't as ugly as you say, he's just a bit rugged-looking and doesn't quite look like a scholar."

Gu Kaiyuan didn't know whether to say Bai Suihe was good at praising people or not; perhaps she was just too kind.

“It’s not that I dislike Lord Chen,” Gu Kaiyuan thought for a moment, then continued, “It’s just that I don’t like how he always finds an excuse to appear in front of us. Everyone knows he has ill intentions, but he seems to have no self-awareness.”

Bai Suihe smiled, her eyes crinkling, "How do you know he lacks self-awareness? Maybe he did it on purpose."

I think he's the one who's hiding the deepest secret here. Guess who he's working for?

Gu Kaiyuan had a rough guess in his previous life, but he was quite cooperative at this time. "It's definitely not for the prince. With his personality, no prince would dare to provoke him. This guy might just turn around and sell them out."

“The royalists actually have their advantages,” Bai Suihe said. It wouldn’t be accurate to say that he disliked Chen Dafu. “Those in power actually prefer people like him.”

Gu Kaiyuan neither confirmed nor denied it, saying that saying he liked it would be too much of an exaggeration; it was more about balancing and utilizing it.

The two were chatting and laughing, but the atmosphere in front was awkward because the gang leader pointed at Gu Kaichen, the two boys from the Chen family, and two other young men, saying, "It's just you guys. As long as you come with me, I'll make sure you live a life of luxury."

"..." Is this sexual assault? Shouldn't they be targeting women? Could these people have some kind of peculiar fetish?

Gu Kaichen used to enjoy going to brothels, so he knew about the "minor official" thing. Now, seeing these people staring at him, he was so frightened that he quickly hid behind Gu Kaiping and secretly covered his buttocks.

Startled, Gu Kaiping quickly moved away from Gu Kaichen.

Who knew that Gu Kaichen seemed to stick to him, following him closely wherever he went, "Big brother, you can't just abandon me."

"How can I manage this? They've taken a liking to you." If it were a group of women in front of him, Gu Kaiping might feel a little resentful, since he considered himself the best-looking among his brothers.

But these grown men? Forget about them, let's leave them to Gu Kaichen.

"I'm a normal man," Gu Kaichen almost cried, feeling that these robbers were simply blind. Even that wretched woman Xu Yulan was prettier than him, not to mention delicate young ladies like An Tong.

"Hey you guys, what are you hiding for? Don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. Come back with me obediently, and I might consider letting your families leave."
