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

Chapter 256. Watching the Show
"Your father has found you a stepmother. Don't you object?" Gu Baihe thought that no matter what, his three nephews would be the first to object, but he couldn't see it now.

Could it be that Gu Baijiang is a skilled father?

“What’s there to object to? Besides, my father wouldn’t listen to us even if we objected.” Gu Kaiyuan pointed to himself, “especially me.”

“Since none of you care, then we shouldn’t get involved.” Gu Baihe thought for a moment and then said, “Actually, I think my father is worrying unnecessarily. Now that everyone has been exiled, we don’t know where we will be assigned in the future, and we may never see each other again in our lives. Who cares about reputation?”

Gu Kaiyuan nodded. "If one doesn't pursue a career in politics, then it can be said that there is absolutely no impact."

Ordinary people don't have so many rules; being alive is already a blessing, let alone for those who are already convicted.

Gu Kaiyuan had no idea what his great-grandfather was worried about. He was trying to test his words and see if what he had said before would come true.

How can the trust between people be so weak?

"..."

The two walked in silence until Gu Kaiyuan broke the silence first, saying, "As long as it's a normal marriage, it won't affect anyone at all."

"But they made such a commotion so early in the morning, many people saw it..."

"That's just a topic of conversation for a few days at most. Once new topics emerge, or when the next stop comes along, who will remember these trivial matters?"

"What you say makes sense, then I won't make that trip."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Uncle, you can decide for yourselves."

"Alright, I'm going back now. Remember to come find your great-grandfather if you need anything. Although we can't be of much help, we still have some strength."

Gu Kaiyuan is really unlike Gu Baijiang; he's helped them a lot along the way, and they remember that kindness.

He wasn't really there to make things difficult for Gu Kaiyuan, but rather to subtly remind him that they were willing to step in if needed.

However, it was clear that Gu Kaiyuan didn't care as much as they thought.

The couple were finally able to calm down, and Bai Suihe had already come up with several versions while sitting in the car.

It's unclear whether Gu Baijiang forced himself on her or whether the two were mutually in love...

"Don't think about it," Gu Kaiyuan peeled an apple for her, cut it into small pieces, and placed it in front of her. "No matter what the outcome, we won't be with them."

“I’m just curious about what exactly happened,” Bai Suihe said, resting her chin on her hand. “Do you think this was your father’s scheme, or a trick used by Xu Shuanghong?”

Xu Shuanghong and her daughter do not appear in the book.
Many places are starting to change.

Once a butterfly flaps its wings, who knows what the future holds?

Gu Kaiyuan chuckled lightly, "Regardless of who the victim is, they are destined to be linked together."

Bai Suihe knew the strictness of some ancient etiquette. "We're not in exile now. It's one thing for your second brother to take a concubine, but your father is going to remarry. Will no one care?"

This is ridiculous! Is it because they affected the plot that three more cannon fodder characters were added to help the female lead grow?

Bai Suihe was startled. Please don't do that. They are not paper dolls anymore. They are living, breathing beings with their own thoughts.

“A big celebration is definitely out of the question, but most people won’t interfere.” Gu Kaiyuan didn’t find anything strange about it. They hadn’t committed a capital crime. Sending them to Lingnan was to increase the population there, and they wouldn’t care about anything else. “What do you think she’s after in your father?”

Bai Suihe thought of Gu Baijiang's disfigured and grotesque face, as well as his extremely flawed personality, and couldn't understand why someone would have such an aesthetic sense.

"What she wanted has already become yours." Gu Kaiyuan smiled at Bai Suihe, "In the end, it was all for naught."

Bai Suihe blinked. "Amitabha, it is all the fault of this humble monk."

Gu Kaiyuan, “…”

Gu Baijiang was the talk of the town all day, but he also spent the whole day in the carriage. It was unclear whether he was too ashamed to face anyone or what he was doing hiding in the carriage.
"This Lord Gu is truly dashing," Ming Peifeng said with a disdainful smile as he sat in the carriage playing chess with himself and heard his subordinate's report.

Gu Baijiang knew that Xu Shuanghong and his group had ulterior motives. They had also told him that he only wanted to keep them calm so that the enemy wouldn't hide in the shadows.

But unexpectedly, in just a few days, he contradicted himself, proving he really couldn't control himself...

"Should we report this to our master?"

"Master is so busy, how can he have time to care about these things? Let's see what the situation is like with the Gu family first. They might just take a concubine again, just like before."

The subordinate's voice was filled with contempt, "They've already fallen to this level, and the Gu family father and son really don't know what they're doing. Why don't we give them some trouble in the next assassination attempt?"

The brothers below had long been impatient and sent them to guard the Gu family, but this family was too troublesome. Several groups of people came to rob and kill them. If it weren't for their protection, this family would have been meeting the King of Hell long ago.

“Don’t make any rash moves,” Ming Peifeng put down his chess piece, looked at his opponent with a warning in his eyes, “The Gu family is still useful to our master, you can’t ruin our master’s important plans.”

"Yes," the subordinate replied respectfully, "Should we continue to gather information?"

"Go ahead, send people to keep a close eye on them, especially Gu Baijiang. There must be no mistakes."

After everyone left, Ming Peifeng fell into deep thought, wondering what trick Gu Baijiang had up his sleeve this time.
They didn't go into the post station that night, but stopped by the wall outside the town. But this time, the distance that the Gu family had kept from everyone else was gone.

When Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe arrived, they were both surprised to see this scene. Bai Suihe said, "Didn't you avoid them like the plague before? Why are you getting so close this time?"

Gu Kaiyuan saw the same look in these people's eyes as Bai Suihe did. "Do they have the same goal as you?"

Bai Suihe was somewhat puzzled. What was his purpose? How come he didn't know?

“They’re all here to watch the show, just like you,” Gu Kaiyuan laughed, “and they’re even disregarding their own safety.”

Bai Suihe lightly covered her mouth. Indeed, it was a fine tradition passed down from our ancestors, something that has existed since ancient times.

"Where is Father?" Everyone was busy, but the main character was nowhere to be seen.

Xu Yulan pointed to the carriage, "They've been hiding inside. Why don't you go and call them out, Third Brother?"

"Second sister-in-law, are there any women inside? It wouldn't be good to disturb them. Since Father has other things to attend to, let's come back another time." Gu Kaiyuan wasn't about to rush over and get into trouble, so he turned to leave.

"Your second sister-in-law is clumsy with words," Gu Kaichen said, his mood was bad all day, but he also wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible.

The thought of his cheap mother-in-law becoming his father's second wife is unsettling.
