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

Chapter 257. A Fictitious Remark
Xu Yulan was not having it. "What do you mean I'm bad with words? How do you want me to say it?"
"Now you're all set. Even if she's my mother, you can now call her 'Mother' openly and honestly."

"You're talking nonsense, or I'll beat you up," Gu Kaichen's eyes reddened. Treating his mother-in-law was one thing, but if she became his stepmother, she would be his enemy.

Xu Yulan was not intimidated by him. She stepped forward and said, "Come on, hit me! Let everyone see that with your stepmother and mother-in-law backing you up, you don't respect me, your legal wife."

"..." Gu Kaichen took a deep breath, and before anyone could react, the slap had already landed.

With a snap, everyone fell silent.

Bai Suihe looked at Gu Kaichen in surprise. These hypocritical guys would actually lay a hand on his wife in public. It seems their mentality has really changed.

“Gu…Kai…Chen…,” Xu Yulan said through gritted teeth, enunciating each word clearly, “You dare hit me…”

Gu Kaichen regretted it as soon as he finished hitting him. He had never used force like this before, but there was no way he would back down. "I've already hit you, so what can you do about it?"

"I'll fight you to the death!" Xu Yulan didn't care about anything else and pounced on him, scratching and kicking him...

Gu Kaiyuan immediately helped Bai Suihe away from them, and cautiously followed their movements as they moved.

Bai Suihe was led around to watch the excitement and change positions. "This is practically a first-person perspective, but Second Sister-in-law's strength is a bit lacking. It seems like she's only hitting her without causing any real pain."

Yes, that's how you scratch him, until he finally bleeds..."

Gu Kaiyuan secretly swallowed. Today he met a different Bai Suihe.

Only Gu Anwei stood there, repeatedly shouting, "Stop hitting! Stop hitting!"

The other members of the Gu family watched the spectacle from the sidelines, with Liu Yun even chiming in with comments like, "Second sister-in-law, scratch his face, kick his groin..."

"Don't cause trouble..."

"The Gu family is fighting again..."

"This family has so many things going on every day. If this were in a teahouse, even a storyteller wouldn't be able to tell all the stories."

"Of course, we're all the same kind of people, why do they make such a fuss?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Suihe couldn't help but look at Gu Antong. Could it be that because the main character was here, the Gu family was practically the eye of the storm, with everyone revolving around them?

They've tried to stay away as much as possible, but they still get dragged into it from time to time.

"Stop hitting! This is outrageous!" Gu Baijiang couldn't stay hidden inside any longer, so he lifted the curtain and got off the carriage.

Xu Shuanghong followed suit, displaying a very supportive and harmonious attitude towards her husband.

Despite the stares of these people, Xu Shuanghong's face still turned red; their gazes were far too blatant.

“Father, it wasn’t me who started it,” Xu Yulan said preemptively. “I only said a few words, and Gu Kaichen beat me to death. Where will I have a place in the Gu family in the future? They have a new person and want me to make room for someone else as soon as possible.”

"You're talking complete nonsense! If you weren't so foul-mouthed, would I have lost my temper?" "Am I not telling the truth? Why won't you listen to reason now?"

"Is that what you're saying? You..."

"Shut up, all of you," Gu Baijiang said, bowing to the crowd of onlookers. "This is our own family matter, so please leave."

Now that things had come to this point, even the most thick-skinned people felt embarrassed to stand there and continue watching the spectacle. However, they didn't go far, pretending to be busy nearby, but their ears were perked up.

"Do you have to cause such chaos all the time? You're ruining the family's reputation."

Gu Baijiang, facing everyone's questioning gazes, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. "Don't you all know that family scandals shouldn't be aired in public?"

“Father knows this is a family scandal,” Gu Kaiping said, seeing that his two brothers remained silent. “Father, have you forgotten? We are in exile, and we shouldn’t be taking concubines in the first place…”

"Baijiang," Xu Shuanghong murmured softly behind Gu Baijiang, "I should have died this morning, rather than be humiliated here again and again..."

An impatience flashed in Gu Baijiang's eyes. He knew his own alcohol tolerance. Even a whole pot of wine wouldn't make him drunk, let alone only a small half pot.

But he bought the wine himself, and the peanuts were roasted right in front of him. How could the other party have gotten away with it?

"Come here, everyone. Let's talk this out today." Gu Baijiang could see the look in his three sons' eyes and understand why they were so opposed. Normally, it would just be a matter of having a small courtyard to settle people in, but now, it probably couldn't be resolved that way.

"An Tong," Gu Baijiang said, seeing that the children had also come over, "you take your two younger brothers and go with everyone to fetch water."

Seeing that her parents did not object, and knowing that they could not listen to her, Gu Antong agreed and left with her two younger brothers.

“There are no outsiders here, and you all know what happened this morning,” Gu Baijiang said. Since he couldn’t find any evidence, he was unwilling to raise his doubts at this moment. “It’s all my fault for drinking too much yesterday, which led to today’s situation. Now that it has happened, I should take responsibility.”

"Who knows if someone is plotting against us?" Xu Yulan had long disliked Xu Shuanghong and her daughter. Not content with stealing her husband, they also wanted to be her mother-in-law. "Father, I remember you have a high alcohol tolerance. Even if you drank two or three jugs of wine, it wouldn't have made you drunk. I'd like to ask Madam Xu, why are you sitting there drinking with a grown man in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Is this the proper upbringing of your Xu family?"

Xu Shuanghong's eyes immediately reddened, and her voice choked with sobs, "It's all my fault. I should have shouted for help last night to stop Baijiang from doing such a wrong thing."

It's all because I'm timid and inexperienced; I didn't react in time, and that's why...

But these things have absolutely nothing to do with our Xu family, so I hope the Second Young Madam will be mindful of her words..."

“You’re already middle-aged, and you’re still inexperienced,” Xu Yulan said sarcastically. “From the moment you came here, I knew that you three women had ill intentions. So you’re here for the three men in our family.”

Let me guess, were the roles and responsibilities already assigned to the three of you before you came?

Xu Yulan stood up and pointed at the mother and her two daughters, "They're exactly the same number as the father and his two sons, so they've come here to make a family..."

Bai Suihe couldn't help but turn her head to look at Gu Kaiyuan, so this was something that had been overlooked. "This Madam Xu is really something, how come she only gave birth to two daughters?"

Gu Kaiyuan glared at her, wondering if her increasingly cheerful personality was a good thing or a bad thing.
"Second Young Madam," Fan Meilin stood up angrily, "don't make up baseless accusations here..."
