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

Chapter 251. Lingnan Boundary

For several days in a row, everyone was in a sorry state, especially those families who had not prepared raincoats. When they arrived at the next post station, the whole family could not afford a single dry piece of clothing, and many people fell ill as a result.

As everyone knows, reaching this post station means arriving at the Lingnan border, and that you've already covered more than half the journey.

Everyone should be happy, but looking at this weather, no one can be happy.

If this rain continues like this, not only will the journey be difficult, but we don't even know if we'll make it to the destination alive.

Perhaps as if they had anticipated this, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the air as soon as they entered the post station.

Smelling the aroma of the medicine, everyone felt that they should have a large bowl of it right now to save their lives.

Gu Kaiyuan still went into the inn next door. The journey had been gloomy and rainy, and no matter how much preparation they had made beforehand, they still felt uncomfortable all over.

After getting a room, we immediately told the waiter to bring hot water so we could all freshen up and feel alive again.

Bai Suihe stood under the eaves, looking at the rain outside, which seemed to be even heavier than when they arrived.

"The weather will probably be like this for the rest of the journey."

Gu Kaiyuan: "Almost, but if we go a little further ahead we'll be on the main road, and the road will be better."

Bai Suihe didn't have much hope. "We've traveled along the official road before, it's just a bit smoother, otherwise there's not much difference."

It's just a dirt road, but it gets muddy in this kind of rainy weather.

"These past few days, things have been quite lively at the Gu family's place." Bai Suihe thought that ever since the last attack by the men in black, every day or two, someone would come to cause trouble.

Because of the female lead, Gu Antong, the Gu family always manages to escape danger. However, those who follow them are not so lucky. Now, even Chen Dafu has taken his family far away from the Gu family.

“It will be fine in a few days,” Gu Kaiyuan knew that these people were just giving Gu Baijiang a warning, otherwise the whole family would be crippled if not killed.

"Is the Third Prince in charge?" Bai Suihe was even more confused. If Rong Ruiyuan wanted that silver, shouldn't he be helping him at this time?
“Of course there is,” Gu Kaiyuan said. Although he hadn’t gone there in person, he had been keeping a close eye on the Gu family’s affairs. “Now Liu Pingkang and the others basically don’t care about the Gu family’s affairs. Why do you think they always manage to escape danger?”

Bai Suihe said, "I really don't understand what these princes are trying to do. Is this some kind of cat playing with a mouse?"
"If I were them, I would just tie them up and solve the problem immediately."

Bai Suihe knew Gu Kaiyuan's attitude, so she had no scruples towards the Gu family and said whatever she wanted.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "It's not that they don't want to clean up the mess, or that they don't want to cut things off quickly, but the situation doesn't allow it. The emperor favors Rong Ruiyuan and protects the Gu family, which means he has already tacitly agreed to give the money to Rong Ruiyuan. As princes themselves, how could they not hate him?"
Furthermore, they must know that the emperor has planted people within the family, which is why they dare not go too far. However, they are still capable of causing some trouble and venting their anger on the Gu family.

Bai Suihe pouted, somewhat unable to understand these ways of thinking.

"Then Chen Dafu will stop keeping watch. Isn't he afraid of being punished by his master?" Chen Dafu tried to get to the back of the group again, and tried several times to squeeze in and walk with them, but he was separated by the escort agency.

"It's just that a few of their kids got injured. No matter how useless they are, Chen Dafu can't just watch them die because of the Gu family. Staying far away is the smart thing to do now."

Not only the Chen family, but no one wants to be with the Gu family now. Liu Pingkang and the others had no choice but to push people to the front. As a result, the Gu family and Bai Suihe's group were about at opposite ends of the line.

"We're almost in Lingnan, and there's still no news from the Third Prince?" If Bai Suihe remembered correctly, they should have received the imperial decree of pardon before they even reached their place of exile.

"The Third Prince is currently getting married," Gu Kaiyuan said with a mocking expression. This was news from the capital, which he had just received.

"Isn't the Third Prince's wedding quite normal? Everyone already knew about it before he left the capital," Bai Suihe said with a hint of schadenfreude. "Do you think Gu Antong knew about this?"

“No one will tell her,” Gu Kaiyuan didn’t want to do this thankless task. “Even if she did find out, what could she do?”
Two weeks later, more concubines will enter the residence, not to mention the maids bestowed upon the household by the palace.

If you're going to take this path and can't even accept this little thing, then you might as well give up sooner rather than later.

Based on Gu Kaiyuan's understanding of Gu Antong, this woman didn't want romantic love. In fact, after entering the manor, besides following the Third Prince and offering advice, she also took the initiative to help the Third Prince find beauties, which shows her character and ambition.

"Pity……"

Gu Kaiyuan didn't know what Bai Suihe was regretting, and didn't ask any further questions, because at that moment Dongmei and the others brought in the dishes with the waiter.

☆

Nothing was said that night. Gu Baijiang looked at the empty dormitory and laughed mockingly.

He didn't know whether to thank these people for their fear of death or to be thankful that their fear had given their family a large, separate room.

"Father, when will the Third Prince bring us back to the capital?" Even the usually composed Gu Kaiping couldn't help but ask. The frequent assassinations were making them constantly on edge.

"Soon," Gu Baijiang could only say. Although he was often ambushed, he always managed to escape unscathed, which showed that Ming Peifeng and the others had been protecting him all along.

"But look at our things, they've almost destroyed them all, even the blankets. If this continues, how long can we hold out?" If they hadn't gone to the post station to buy new things, they wouldn't know how they would have survived.

"Then what do you plan to do?" Gu Baijiang silently counted the days in his mind. The Third Prince would definitely not have the energy to take care of them during this period.

"..."

Silence fell over the room. Xu Shuanghong, who had finally recovered, came over to smooth things over. "Baijiang, I bought some steamed buns and mutton soup. Come and eat first. It will get cold later. It's cold outside, so eating something hot will warm you up."

Gu Kaiping looked at them coldly. This Madam Xu was very capable. In just a few days, her father had already put her in charge of the household and had given her a lot of money.

The father had two daughters-in-law, yet he let an outsider manage the money and make purchases. He was clearly bewitched, but he couldn't say anything about it, so he looked at Gu Kaichen.

Seeing Gu Kaichen clinging to Fan Meibao with that lewd look, you know this person is even less reliable.

But no matter what, he couldn't go against the food. He had finally managed to get a hot meal, and there was even mutton soup.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, the door was suddenly kicked open, and everyone immediately became like startled birds, looking at the door with wary expressions.
