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

Chapter 252. Looking for trouble.
"Oh, they're eating right now," a fat, greasy-faced middle-aged man led a large group of people in, his gaze sweeping over everyone before finally settling on Fan Meilin and Gu Antong.

"Who are you? Have you come to the wrong people?" These strangers walked in openly, and judging from their clothes, they were similar to those of the local residents when they entered the city. The Gu family guessed that they must have made a mistake.

"Are you from the Gu family who came from the capital?" Liang Shan didn't think he had come to the wrong people; these guys outside the post station wouldn't dare to lie to him.

Seeing that none of them answered, I knew I had come to the right person. "Which one is Gu Antong? Step forward, let me see."

Liang Shan's eyes darted around the women. There were two young girls who were quite pretty, but the one at the back had an air of refinement that clearly came from a well-educated family.

"Who are you?" Gu Kaiping could no longer remain silent at this moment. Asking the women right away was clearly ill-intentioned.

"I am the Third Prince's wife's uncle. I heard that His Highness the Third Prince received some care from your Gu family, and that a young girl even served him personally. I was quite curious about it."

"Don't worry, I'm not here to be a bad guy. My niece is the most virtuous and generous person. If she's a good girl, I can help send her to the capital. After all, she served His Highness the Third Prince, and we can't let her be without a proper status."

Gu Antong had never been so humiliated. She had known for a long time that she could not become the principal wife because of her background, but she did not want to enter the mansion in this way.

The Fan sisters both looked at Gu Antong, and Liang Shan knew his earlier guess was correct. This girl was indeed beautiful. He really didn't know why his niece would bring such a person into the mansion. Wasn't she afraid...?

However, as the uncle, he certainly couldn't just watch his niece act foolishly; it was better to deal with such a threat as soon as possible.

"Stop talking nonsense," Gu Baijiang glared at the other party. "I don't know where you heard these rumors from, but it's a bit much for you to come to a woman's door and ruin her reputation like this."

"Leave here immediately, and I can pretend this never happened."

"Who are you, you ugly monster? How dare you threaten me?" Liang Shan looked at Gu Baijiang with disgust. "Believe me or not, I'll make sure you never leave this post station."

"..." Gu Baijiang knew his face was beyond saving, but this was the first time he had been humiliated to his face. "I am Gu Baijiang, Vice Minister of War..."

"You are Gu Baijiang?" Liang Shan was surprised for a moment, then burst into laughter, clutching his stomach. "With your ugly appearance, you can become the Vice Minister of War? When will the court allow someone like you to enter?"

Besides, so what if you are Gu Baijiang? You are exiled prisoners now, even worse than my followers, yet you dare to put on airs in front of me.

"Now I'll do you a favor: quickly send Gu Antong back with me. I'll send someone to the capital. She doesn't like serving others, so this is a good opportunity for her to go back and serve her master ahead of time."

When Gu Baijiang saw the burly men following behind him, he knew that this matter was not something his family could handle. Just then, he saw Chen Dafu passing by and, disregarding his previous personal grudges, shouted, "Lord Chen, please inform the escort officer that there is a disturbance here and they want to take people away."

Chen Dafu had been lost in thought and hadn't noticed what was going on. Now that he saw it all, he really wanted to curse. They had already tried to stay far away from the Gu family, but they still ended up getting dragged into it.

He didn't answer and was about to leave when he was blocked by two men.

“I told you you’ve got it wrong, I was just passing by,” Chen Dafu said with a bitter expression. “I have no say in your business.”

He's made his position clear, so we should be able to let him go, right?
Unexpectedly, she was pushed into the room and made to stand with the Gu family.

"Lord Gu, is it really necessary for you to do this to me?"

Gu Baijiang, "..." I've seen stupid people, but I've never seen anyone this stupid. Moreover, he suspected that Chen Dafu was doing it on purpose. People are out there, surely they can run away? "We are exiled prisoners. We can't go anywhere except to Lingnan. So please, sir, thank the Third Prince's Consort for our kindness. After all, no one can disobey the imperial decree."

Liang Shan was truly intimidated. Yes, he only wanted to take the people away, but he forgot who they were.

It's impossible to do it openly, but he can do it covertly.

"Of course, no one can disobey the imperial decree. You have all let my niece's good intentions go to waste."

Since that's the case, I can only reply that my niece should carefully select someone capable of serving His Highness the Prince.

After saying that, he left with his men, leaving everyone bewildered.

Chen Dafu was completely bewildered, but he dared not linger there, fearing that those people might return and disappear from the room at an alarming speed.

Stepping out of the room, I patted my chest, relieved. The Gu family really was my nemesis.

"These people probably won't let this go so easily," Liu Yun said with some worry. The Third Prince hadn't even given a definite answer yet, but the Third Prince's wife was already getting anxious.

Xu Shuanghong feigned ignorance, "Baijiang, why didn't you let them take the young lady away just now?"
"Going back to Beijing is better than suffering here with us."

"Shut up," Liu Yun couldn't take it anymore. "Our Gu family's affairs are none of your business, you outsider's business."

Xu Shuanghong looked aggrieved, but Gu Baijiang didn't coax her like before. Instead, he said to Gu Antong, "Don't go out alone from now on, and don't wander around."

Gu Antong knew, of course, and nodded obediently.

Xu Shuanghong's eyes flashed, and she pulled her two daughters to a corner, saying, "You two be careful too, don't let someone push you out to take the fall."

Gu Baijiang lost his appetite. After giving his instructions, he went straight out and returned looking completely relaxed.

……

The post station was not peaceful that night. Ming Peifeng brought people over and caught a few mice. That same night, another letter was sent to the capital by fast horse.

Gu Antong thought the matter was over, but it seemed that the number of pursuers had increased. She barely managed to avoid them several times, and her resentment towards the Third Prince's Consort grew even stronger.

Bai Suihe was once again surrounded by people, watching the chaos ahead while eating the dried fruit that Dongmei had just brought her.

"If it's like this every day, why not just have that guy surnamed Ming stay with the group to protect the Gu family? That would save us a headache," Liu Pingkang said impatiently as he watched everyone retreat behind him and the Gu family members hiding behind Ming Peifeng.

"If it weren't for this damn mission, I would have liked to kick the Gu family out of the team and leave them to fend for themselves."

The bad weather that had been affecting my mood for days was further compounded by the fact that I was delayed because of family matters.
