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

Chapter 225. Urgency
Liu Yun: "If that's the case, what can we do? What can we possibly do?"
I think we should focus on our own lives now and stop worrying unnecessarily; it only troubles ourselves.

"Is that really what you think?" Xu Yulan asked in surprise. This sister-in-law wasn't like this before. Could it be that the exile had made her disheartened?

"If we end up like my aunt, what will happen to our children? They're not even grown up yet." If they couldn't persuade her, they would test her with the children. They refused to believe that Liu Yun would really remain unmoved.

"Who can say for sure what the future holds?" Liu Yun remained unmoved. Xu Yulan had come to her with ill intentions. No matter what she said or did, it would only incur the displeasure of her husband and father-in-law.

In addition, given Xu Yulan's idiocy, saying anything to her would easily expose her, and she really didn't want to have such a useless teammate.

“If Father-in-law wants to remarry, it will be someone else, if not Xu Shuanghong. We should behave ourselves.”

Xu Yulan wanted to say something more, but when she saw Gu Kaiping standing not far away, she had no choice but to swallow her words. "I didn't say I objected, I just felt that this was too fast."

"How long has it been since my aunt passed away? Although we can't observe mourning rituals while we're in exile, we should at least wait a year."

“You don’t know that there is such a thing as mourning. Sons can marry during mourning, let alone husbands who have no such concerns.”

What difference would it make if we waited a year or not? Is it something you or I could stop?
"If you really wanted to stop me, you shouldn't have come to me. Don't forget, your mother has three sons."

Liu Yun only wants to protect her two children now. She doesn't care whether Gu Baijiang will remarry or who he will marry.

Anyway, Xu Shuanghong has already been given a warning, and no smart person would dare to provoke her.

"Sister-in-law, are you so sure that my brother-in-law has no ulterior motives?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Yulan tried to sow discord after failing to persuade her. In the past, she would have been nervous, but now that she saw through it, it seemed like nothing serious.

However, it did remind me to be more wary of Gu Kaiping, but not now.

"Regardless of whether he has ulterior motives, at least so far, no one has caught his eye." After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at Xu Yulan. Everyone had seen Gu Kaichen's behavior. If it weren't for Xu Yulan's presence, he might have even called his mother-in-law.

Xu Yulan, “…”

I was initially very confident, but I didn't expect Liu Yun to be so uncooperative.

But she didn't dare say anything more, because Gu Kaiping was already walking towards them.

"What are you two doing here? There's so much more to do."

Gu Kaiping sized up the two of them. They had deliberately come here to hide. Were they discussing something?

Xu Yulan felt a little guilty. She had just spoken ill of Gu Kaiping, and now he was right in front of her. "No, I was just chatting with my sister-in-law for a bit. I have to go back to work now."

After saying that, she took off running. Gu Kaiping thought, "...It hasn't been long, and my second sister-in-law's manners have become like this."

Liu Yun said, "We're worse off than ordinary people now, so what rules are we talking about?"

Seeing Liu Yun about to leave, Gu Kaiping reached out to stop her, "What's the deal with today's meal?"

His sense of taste is fine; he used to cover it up because they are a married couple.

But Liu Yun even got herself into trouble, and he was determined to find out the truth today.

"Haven't we already explained it all? Maybe my hand was shaking and I accidentally added too much salt."

If you, my husband, don't like my cooking, why don't you cook next time?

"A wise man keeps away from the kitchen..."

“Husband, you are no longer a gentleman, you are a prisoner. Haven’t you noticed? Your third brother has done a better job in this regard than you have.” Liu Yun said and left.

"..." Gu Kaiping was confused. What was going on? How could Liu Yun have changed so much overnight?

"Lord Ming, why are you here at this hour?" In the dead of night, Gu Baijiang was awakened by a small stone hitting him and heard the familiar coded signal.

"I'm here to tell you that the three people you've taken in have ulterior motives, and you should get rid of them as soon as possible."

“Lord Ming, Xu Shuanghong is an old friend of mine. I have already promised to take them in. It would be wrong to go back on my word.”

"They were sent by other forces. We're investigating who they are right now. You can't be confused at this time; if you delay things..."

"Your Excellency is overthinking this. I know exactly what I'm doing."

This is our last chance to take care of our family; how could I possibly reveal it so casually?

Please inform the master, Lord Ming, that I have no other faults, except that I am tight-lipped.

Ming Peifeng understood that Gu Baijiang was indirectly threatening and urging him on, and at the same time, this was also his bottom line.

Hopefully, the master will exonerate this family as soon as possible. If things continue like this, who knows if Gu Baijiang will be blinded by women, and then we won't know who will get that money.

As a man himself, he knew the power of an ex-lover. Seeing that Gu Baijiang was still quite lucid, he dared not underestimate the whispers in his ear.

“As long as Lord Gu knows what’s going on,” Ming Peifeng’s attitude softened. “Our people have been nearby all along. If Lord Gu needs anything, he can give us a signal in the middle of the night.”

Gu Baijiang wasn't surprised by the change in the other party's attitude. It seemed his idea was correct; giving them a sense of urgency did have a remarkable effect.

"With Lord Ming protecting me, I feel at ease and have nothing to fear from those demons and monsters."

The two talked for a while longer before parting ways.

However, Ming Peifeng's expression was somewhat solemn when he left. It seemed that Gu Baijiang had indeed made two preparations. He had to report this matter to his master as soon as possible, lest someone steal his man at the last minute.

As for the relationship between the Gu family's daughter and the master, in his opinion, it was nothing at all.

If Gu Baijiang truly harbored ulterior motives, he wouldn't care about the life or death of a granddaughter, let alone the fact that he held leverage, and Gu Antong might even be able to find a better match elsewhere.

Gu Kaiyuan waited for a moment before emerging from the corner. Looking in the direction Ming Peifeng had left, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

Ming Peifeng was clearly ordered to protect the Gu family, but in his previous life, he only took action a handful of times, and he had to carry the burden all by himself.

It can be said that the tragedy of the previous life was due to Gu Jia and Ming Peifeng, in addition to his own reasons.

These people are still useful for now, so Gu Kaiyuan doesn't intend to touch them.

Tonight, he made a point of staying here to find out if Ming Peifeng was getting restless.

Now it seems my guess has come true, which also means that they are closer to regaining their freedom.

Looking at the snowflakes still falling from the sky, Gu Kaiyuan wrapped his cloak tighter around himself and disappeared from the spot in a few leaps.

The swirling snowflakes quickly covered up all the traces again.

As Gu Baijiang returned to his seat and lay down, Liu Yun, who was lying not far away, opened her eyes.
