Chapter 26 026. Stolen Money
Gu Kaiyuan walked to the side of the rice field and saw the flower spikes on it. He said, "With these fields, we don't have to worry about going hungry.

When the rice is ripe, Madam, please give me your instructions and I will do the rough work."

Bai Suihe also saw the flower spike above. It seemed to be growing a bit fast, but why did it seem to have become smaller last time?
There were doubts in his heart, but now was not the time to bring it up. "Did you see the last warehouse? I only put a small amount of things there. I can take in whatever you have."

When Bai Suihe thought about her uncertain future, she wanted to get as much as possible. Unfortunately, many things in this mansion could not be kept, leaving her to guard such a large space and she could only stare with envy.

"Leave this to me," Gu Kaiyuan also thought of Bai Suihe's entire warehouse of dowry, and it was certain that he was reluctant to part with it.

But the government office has a record of the dowry list, so it doesn't matter if a few items are missing, but if too many are missing, they will definitely investigate.

"I will find a way to get your dowry back for you later," Gu Kaiyuan promised solemnly, "even if I can't get it back, I will make up for it for you."

Bai Suihe didn't hold out much hope. "Let's talk about this later. You should think of a way to get me out of the house."

As a female member of the inner house, not yet the head of the household, it is not an easy thing for her to leave the house.

Even if you want to go back to your parents' home, you must have a reasonable reason.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "I'll find an excuse to take you out, but it will have to be postponed for two days. I need some time to prepare things."

Gu Kaiyuan just arrived in Beijing today and had just given some instructions.

Bai Suihe cannot leave the house frequently, so he must seize the opportunity to leave the house this time.

Bai Suihe nodded, "That's not a problem. We still have some time, but we'd better get these things done in advance to prevent any changes."

After Bai Suihe finished speaking, he still asked tentatively, "Did you know that your father embezzled that money?"

Gu Kaiyuan took a deep breath. The Gu family was not innocent after their family was confiscated and exiled. "Of course I know. Father has a yard outside. I will take you there next time."

Although this was money from the national treasury, Gu Kaiyuan was not so generous as to refuse it. He just regarded it as an offset for his wife's dowry.

And if they don't accept it, the Third Prince will only benefit in the end.

Father, mother is still as partial as ever. She entrusted this secret to the eldest wife until her death, and it became her trump card against me. So don't blame him this time.

Bai Suihe just wanted to find out, but she didn't expect Gu Kaiyuan to actually know. "Didn't you think of telling your father in advance?"

"It's too late. The memorials from the border are already being sent back at full speed. Besides, although he is not the mastermind, he is not innocent."

Gu Kaiyuan also tried his best to save it at first, but no matter what he did, he couldn't break it.

The emperor knew that Minister Gu was not the mastermind, but he had already made a choice between his son and his subjects.

"Can you tell me how much your father has embezzled?" In this space, Bai Suihe felt much more relaxed and had the leisure to care about the doubts in her heart.

Gu Kaiyuan closed his eyes, and Bai Suihe thought he wouldn't answer, or didn't know. But when he opened his eyes, he looked at Bai Suihe with a complicated expression, "Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver."

"Your father is so greedy?" Bai Suihe's legs felt weak. As expected, officials are richer than businessmen...

"That silver wasn't his either. Most of it was hidden by the Third Prince." Bai Suihe said, "...Then it makes sense why the Third Prince protected him in secret during his exile."

I don’t know what their mentality is, or whether they have reached some agreement with Minister Gu, but the eldest wife of the Gu family is their important protected person.

Otherwise, as a prince, it would not be difficult to protect his family, and their third branch would not have ended up in such a miserable situation.

"Your father's brain seems to be a little not very smart," Bai Suihe thought about it and couldn't help but complain. Why not just be a good official? He has a good reputation outside. Can't he be a loyal minister? Why does he have to get involved in the royal struggle?

"He was blinded by power and wanted to fight for the credit of following the emperor. He always thought that even if he failed, when the Third Prince ascended the throne, he would not treat him unfairly as a meritorious official.

He miscalculated, and the hardships of exile, coupled with the attacks from his political enemies, meant he didn't live to see that day."

Bai Suihe sneered and exposed the truth without hesitation, "If your father could live to see that day, what would he have to do with your niece?"

Now that I think about it, the heroine’s ability to enter the palace of the Three Emperors should be a signal that the Third Prince wants to give to those who follow him. He will remember every meritorious person and wants to gain more followers.

Dragging the entire family into trouble for one's own selfish desires is truly inhumane.

Gu Kaiyuan certainly understood all this, but he didn't say it out loud because he wanted to save face for his father. However, he didn't expect that his wife saw through it so clearly.

"How can the Third Prince trust such a large sum of money to be kept in his hands when he doesn't even know its whereabouts?"

"Maybe he was trying to win people's hearts, or maybe he just wanted to stay out of it. Whatever the case, the things always ended up in his hands."

Bai Suihe, "That's true. This kind of high-end game is probably only affordable for ambitious princes.

But your father knew that if he wasn't careful, he would be doomed, and he dragged the whole family into it, so he didn't know what to say. "

After all, it was his own family that caused the trouble, so Gu Kaiyuan could only endure it awkwardly, "It's pointless to talk about this now, you took the fruit out from here too, right?

Look at the mountains full of fruit. Doesn't this space have four seasons?"

The lychees and apples that were taken out before were from the south and the north respectively, but they can both grow here. The results show their extraordinary nature.

Bai Suihe brought over a bunch of longans and stuffed them directly into his hands. Seeing his stunned expression, he actually found it a little cute. "It's amazing, isn't it? I'm the boss here. You can't make me angry, or I'll throw you out in an instant."

Gu Kaiyuan looked at the longan in his hand, then looked at the mountain opposite, "It's really impressive. I'll have to rely on my wife for food from now on."

"No problem, no problem," Bai Suihe took him to the vegetable patch at the back. "Even if we're exiled from now on, with the harvest from this space, you won't starve."

Bai Suihe looked at Gu Kaiyuan and remembered something else. He immediately took him outside the space. "I don't know what the flow rate is like inside and outside. You watch the time outside and help me verify it."

Before Gu Kaiyuan could reply, Bai Suihe had disappeared from his sight.

Looking at the person who suddenly disappeared, Gu Kaiyuan was panicked for a moment. His wife's space was too magical. If he accidentally angered her in the future, would he be abandoned like this again? If that happened, he wouldn't even have a chance to explain.
