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

Chapter 241 241. Calculation
“Yes,” Wu Qingshui did not refute, after all, the whole family belonged to the master and mistress, and as long as the two of them had no objections, no one had the right to say anything.

“Wait a minute,” Madam Bai thought that since Master Bai had already spoken, she might as well take a little more at once. “I remember there’s a century-old ginseng in the storeroom, I’ll bring that out too.”

Wu Qingshui hesitated for a moment, "Madam, that's for Master's emergency use..."

"He'er's journey to Lingnan is exceptionally arduous, and she is about to give birth. Old Ginseng might be able to save her life at the crucial moment."

As for the household, you can give the order later to have everyone search as much as possible. It will only cost a little more money. If they find any good old ginseng, they can prepare more.

Seeing that his wife insisted, Wu Qingshui said nothing more. Although century-old ginseng was hard to find, it could still be bought in the capital with a little more money.

Gu Baihe looked at Gu Kaiyuan with some shame and explained the purpose of his visit, "Kailiang was scratched by a wolf yesterday, and his arm is bruised and swollen. I wanted to ask if you have any medicine here?"

Gu Kaiyuan immediately frowned and stood up. "Uncle, why didn't you come over yesterday? This is no joke."

"I have some wound medicine here, I don't know if it will work, wait for me, I'll go get it right away."

Gu Kaiyuan didn't dare to delay. He not only brought the medicine but also a jar of strong liquor. "We should have washed the wound with soap powder yesterday. Didn't Lord Liu inform you?"

"I've notified them, but this kid thinks it's just a minor wound and they'll just do a quick fix."

He only realized how scary it was when the bruises appeared today, and could only try applying medicine first. Gu Baihe had no other choice but to seek help from Gu Kaiyuan.

“This is far too careless,” Bai Suihe said worriedly after everyone had left. “Yesterday you told Lord Liu and the others about the seriousness of this matter, but they still haven’t taken it seriously.”

"I hope it's just a wound infection," Gu Kaiyuan wasn't sure either. He had seen other injured people before, and they had only minor scratches. After cleaning the wounds and applying medicine, they seemed to be fine.

Because the two of them have changed a lot, they can no longer continue to handle things entirely according to their memories.

In my previous life, there were several attempted murders during this period, but I have managed to get through these few days peacefully.

There are also several variables, such as Xu Shuanghong and her daughter, which were not present before.

Thinking of this, Bai Suihe couldn't help but ask, "Is Xu Shuanghong really an old acquaintance of your father?"

Gu Kaiyuan said sarcastically, "Being so undisguised, she's probably some ex-lover."

I wonder when they got together; this is probably a rekindling of their old flame.

"Will she become your stepmother?" Bai Suihe didn't think asking this was offensive; they were now in a community of shared interests.

Gu Kaiyuan: "I'm afraid Gu Baijiang really does have such an idea..."

Bai Suihe, "...So, do you think this will work?"

Gu Kaiyuan looked in the direction of the Gu family and said, "Whether things succeed or not, we are not the ones who are most anxious."

Sure enough, the Gu family didn't have a good day either. If looks could kill, Xu Shuanghong and her two daughters, who were in the same carriage, would have been torn to pieces by Xu Yulan long ago.

Gu Kaichen had already been persuaded to keep her by his side for now and discuss her status later, but he didn't expect this old woman to keep pressing him and force him to drink the concubine tea today.

She didn't understand why the mother and her two daughters were in such a hurry, or if they had already set their sights on the Gu family's men. Xu Yulan then said to Liu Yun in a sarcastic tone, "Sister-in-law, I think some people have ulterior motives. They say they're here to seek refuge, but they've actually been eyeing other women's men all along."

There are three men in this family; they've probably already made their arrangements. Sister-in-law, you should be more careful, lest you suffer the same fate as me.

Xu Shuanghong and her daughter looked extremely pale; they had never been insulted like this before.

The mother and her two daughters glared angrily at Xu Yulan. Since the Gu family father and son were outside, they weren't afraid of losing their public image.

"What are you glaring at me for? Did we say something wrong?" Xu Yulan sneered. "Do you dare swear to heaven that you don't have ulterior motives?"

Liu Yun watched them coldly. In fact, he also agreed with Xu Yulan's idea that the mother and her two daughters might really be targeting the father and sons.

Only Gu Antong hadn't lost her mind. Xu Shuanghong was probably after her grandfather, but her two daughters had inquired a lot about the Third Prince, so their real purpose was probably with her.

However, the wolf pack's attack inadvertently led to Fan Meibao and her second uncle ending up in a mess.

Ever since the incident, the three women had looked grim, and they hadn't smiled all day. When Fan Meibao stopped to rest, she tried to avoid her second uncle, her expression one of extreme disgust.

She quietly pulled Liu Yun aside, shook her head slightly, and whispered in her ear, "Mother, you can't be influenced by your second aunt. Father isn't your second uncle, so he definitely wouldn't make such a mistake."

The situation was so critical that no one expected such a thing to happen.

Don't forget, it was Grandpa and the others who rushed into the carriage. The carriage wasn't very big; we were crammed together with the mother and her two daughters.

Liu Yun said, "I understand all of this. The reason I'm so angry is because this incident has set a bad precedent. I'm just worried that the Gu family will never have peace again."

Previously, it was thought that Xu Shuanghong wanted to become Gu Baijiang's second wife, which would create many conflicts due to the addition of a stepmother-in-law. Now that she also has a concubine and this additional relationship, one can imagine how chaotic things will become in the second wife's household.

This might really be a form of retribution. When Xu Yulan first entered the family, she relied on her mother-in-law being her aunt and caused quite a bit of trouble in the Gu family.

If it were a mother and daughter who were mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, how would the daughters-in-law survive?
“Back then, Fan Meilin was also very close to your father,” Liu Yun said, still feeling extremely uncomfortable as she recalled that scene. “Do you think that if Fan Meilin didn’t have a good place to go, he might eventually turn his attention to your father?”

Gu Antong's back stiffened. Where did her mother mean by this "good place"? Did she want Fan Meilin to compete with her for favor in the future?

Taking a deep breath, she asked, "Mother, where do you mean by 'good place'?"

Liu Yun glanced at her. "What do you think of your third uncle?"

Gu Antong's eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten about her third uncle?

“But Uncle San rarely comes over. We’re practically naked with him now. We can’t just send him over.”

“Why is that impossible?” Liu Yun looked at Fan Meilin with a calculating gaze. “If your third uncle and that cute little Fan were to roll around together in public, what do you think the result would be?”

Gu Antong was not so optimistic. "This is quite difficult. My third uncle knows martial arts."
