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

Chapter 243. Taking a Concubine
If Gu Kaiping still doesn't understand Gu Baijiang's good intentions at this point, he would truly be a fool.

But there was still one thing he didn't understand: "Now that Fan Meibao is ruined, isn't An Tong missing a whetstone?"

"Therefore, some plans need to be adjusted according to the actual situation. If the mother and daughter can give up in the next few days, they will find an opportunity to leave quietly."

But if they don't give up, when we reach the next post station, I'll have my second son consummate his marriage with the girl from the Fan family, leaving them with no way out.

Fan Meilin is Xu Shuanghong's only hope. Now it depends on An Tong's methods. Tell Liu Shi not to interfere for now, but to quietly observe how things develop.

Gu Kaiping nodded, "But what if Fan Meilin follows An Tong into the Prince's residence in the future..."

"Now is not the time to worry about these things. Do you think you can rest easy after dealing with Fan Meilin?"
Think about all the women in the palace; which one of them was easy to deal with?
If An Tong doesn't grow up, she might not be a help to the Gu family, but rather a disaster for the entire Gu family.

The power struggles in the harem are no less intense than those in the imperial court. He has truly gone to great lengths for this family, yet now he still has to explain things to his eldest son in such a detailed and complex way.

Fortunately, the eldest son seemed to have realized something at this moment. He nodded repeatedly and looked at him with admiration, which made Gu Baijiang feel that this son was still worth teaching.

Meanwhile, inside the carriage, Xu Shuanghong was practically grinding her teeth in frustration. She refused to believe that Gu Baijiang was unaware of the commotion inside. She thought that he hadn't helped her and her daughter after all the suffering they had endured. This man was truly heartless and ungrateful.

However, they are currently living under someone else's roof, and before they can establish themselves firmly, they dare not go against Xu Yulan and her group.

They'd had enough of these sarcastic remarks. Did they really think Gu Kaichen was so outstanding that everyone wanted him?

The one who felt most wronged was Fan Meibao. From yesterday until now, her tears have not stopped, and her eyes are swollen.

She would have to share a husband with Xu Yulan and live under her control in the future. Just thinking about it made her feel suffocated, let alone the fact that it was her future life.

At that moment, Fan Meibao really wanted to run away, but where could she go all by herself? Would things be even more miserable if she left this place?
Thinking of all this, Fan Meibao started to sob again.

Seeing this, Xu Yulan became even more impatient. "I say, Aunt Fan, you've been crying for so long, don't you find it unlucky?"

Now that you are my husband's concubine, you must learn how to serve your mistress. From today onwards, you will stay by my side.

Xu Yulan's eyes lit up, and she instantly realized that this was a good idea.

If someone is so eager to become a concubine, then they must know the difference between a wife and a concubine. A concubine, besides serving her husband, also has to serve the principal wife. So she has to properly train this little cutie and let her know what it means to respect elders and juniors.

In the future, someone will help me with all the trivial matters. I should take advantage of this benefit first.

Fan Meibao trembled and looked to Xu Shuanghong for help. Xu Shuanghong shook her head helplessly. Since the matter had already been decided, in order not to give others any reason to talk, she really couldn't refuse Xu Yulan's request.

Gu Antong watched all this with a cold eye. Her second aunt thought she had gotten a great deal, but she didn't know if she could handle the three of them, mother and daughters, given her personality.
Now, Grandfather's attitude is somewhat strange. He seemed to be on Xu Shuanghong's side before, but something about him is not right.

Looking at her mother beside her, she wondered what she was thinking; it seemed she couldn't find an answer for her.

The snow kept falling, so the speed couldn't be increased much, but everyone was working very hard every day. Besides being afraid that the wolf pack would continue to pursue them, they were also afraid that the supplies they had purchased would not last until the next post station.

Fortunately, the wolves seemed to have been frightened and did not reappear. Finally, on the third day, they learned that the post station was just ahead and they could check in that day. This time, the escorts didn't even need to urge them on; the group's speed was almost twice as fast as before, and they arrived at the post station an hour before nightfall.

Despite the simple house at the inn, everyone was quite satisfied. At least they wouldn't have to spend the night in the snow, where everything was drafty and they wouldn't have to endure the heavy snow.

Gu Kaiyuan no longer needs to hide anything; he lives directly with the two security escort agencies, and Liu Pingkang doesn't interfere.

Everyone knew what was going on, and the escort agency had taken good care of them along the way. As long as Gu Kaiyuan and the others didn't run away, Liu Pingkang didn't bother to care.

As for the others, their attention was now completely drawn to the goods at this post station, and no one knew how many more days it would take to reach the next post station. Of course, the more of everything, the better.

The lobby of the post station was unusually lively, and Gu Baijiang went directly to Ming Peifeng, who had already arrived.

Ming Peifeng looked at Gu Baijiang thoughtfully, "Lord Gu, are you sure you want to go up to the roof?"

"Arrange a room for me." Gu Baijiang certainly wouldn't stay alone again. If he encountered those assassins in black again, there wouldn't be another Xu Huizhen to shield him from harm.

"Would you mind checking in, sir?"

Gu Baijiang glanced at the other person and said, "Let my second son stay here."

"Oh," Ming Peifeng said with a surprised look, "Lord Gu is quite good to his son. Should I have someone arrange a few more rooms for him?"

"No need for that. If possible, please arrange another banquet."

"Is this for entertaining Madam Xu and her daughter? Does Lord Gu know them well?"

“She’s an old friend. I knew her well when I was a county magistrate,” Gu Baijiang said, knowing he couldn’t hide it anymore, and with Ming Peifeng pretending to be clueless, he simply stated bluntly, “My second son accidentally offended Miss Fan, ruining her reputation. He can only take her in as a concubine…”

"Lord Gu, you are confused! Don't you know your current status? How can you take a concubine?"

"Lord Ming, are we destined to be stuck with this identity forever?" Gu Baijiang asked seriously. "Did our master say something to you?"

Ming Peifeng: "...Of course not, it's just that your crimes were ordered by His Majesty. You even took concubines on your way to exile, which is not appropriate to say out loud."

Good advice is useless against a damned devil. Gu Baijiang really thinks he has something to rely on; he's going to challenge the law.

"Don't worry, Lord Ming, we won't announce it to the public. The two families will just sit down for a meal and make a simple decision first."

And I know you're questioning their identities, mother and daughter. Actually, I have my doubts too. Until I'm certain of their motives, I can only try to appease them for now.

Gu Baijiang was worried that Ming Peifeng would sabotage the project, so he could only briefly share some of his thoughts.

"It seems Lord Gu also has some doubts, then I'm relieved." Ming Peifeng was even more puzzled. "If that's the case, why put him by Second Young Master Gu's side?"
