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

Chapter 289. Letters
Upon hearing this, Gu Kaiyuan frowned, fearing that the old man would be bewitched by this person again and turn against him.

Gu Baijiang said, "Lord Ming, please don't mention that unfilial son. I have already adopted him out and added him to the family genealogy."

Ming Peifeng gave a mocking smile, "Since that's the case, I won't say anything more. I just hope that Lord Gu won't regret it later."

"I definitely won't regret it," Gu Baijiang said resolutely, and he had already made up his mind to make the Bai family pay when he returned to the capital.

Gu Kaiyuan, who was on the other side of the wall, breathed a sigh of relief and hoped that he would continue to maintain this attitude.

Thinking there wasn't anything particularly pleasant to hear, I was just about to take a good rest when I heard noises coming from next door.

"My lord, news has arrived from the capital."

Ming Peifeng glanced at Gu Baijiang, "Lord Gu is no outsider, so please speak."

"This is a letter delivered by the Third Prince at breakneck speed," the messenger said respectfully, presenting the letter.

Gu Kaiyuan pricked up his ears and waited for a while. Perhaps both of them had finished reading the letter before they could hear voices.

"These bastards! I'll make them pay when I get back!" Gu Baijiang's furious voice rang out. "If I remember correctly, these people are all related to the Third Prince by marriage. Why would they do such a thing?"

Ming Peifeng didn't know what to say. He had previously thought that Gu Jia's daughter was a close friend of the Third Prince, so he had been quite polite to her.

But before she even entered the manor, her legend was already spreading throughout the capital.

Now it's even made the women in the backyard wary, and even their families have gotten involved. This wave of hatred is truly...

"Didn't the Third Prince say in his letter that he would find another way and that we should wait for good news?"

Ming Peifeng calmly reassured him, "Lord Gu, please calm down."

"How can we calm down?" Gu Baijiang's face twisted even more with anger, and Ming Peifeng quickly turned his head away, unable to bear to look.

Gu Baijiang picked up the teacup on the table and took two big gulps. "We're all in the Third Prince's camp, so why are they doing this? They're eliminating dissidents."

"I must personally write a letter to His Highness the Third Prince; this matter cannot be left unresolved."

He had to get an explanation from the Third Prince: what good did these people gain from blocking his way back to the capital?
In an instant, I realized what was going on.

"These are the concubines in the back courtyard..."

Ming Peifeng would not discuss these matters with him. "I have no idea about these things. Since Lord Gu has replied to His Highness, I will have someone prepare pen and ink for him."

……

Upon hearing this, Gu Kaiyuan's lips curled up. It seemed that Manager Chen was quite reliable; he had really added fuel to the fire.

Gu Antong's reputation is ruined, and she has lost her trump card. It will probably not be so easy for her to dominate the Third Prince's mansion and become the Third Prince's right-hand woman again, just like in her previous life.

In high spirits, Gu Kaiyuan bought a lot of things and returned to the village.

When the night was deep and quiet, he couldn't wait to share this great news with Bai Suihe.

Bai Suihe knew the plot had changed beyond recognition, and couldn't help but worry, "Will the Gu family still be pardoned?"

"Don't worry, the Third Prince will make an effort for that sum of money, no matter what else it is for."

However, it seems unlikely that he can return to Beijing in the same glory as before; this matter still has a long way to go.

Bai Suihe said, "No wonder things have been so calm these past few days; it turns out they've been working hard in the imperial court."

"I wonder if your father will regret it once he understands?" "There's no other choice now. By the way, I also received another piece of news today: the people my mother-in-law sent will be arriving soon."

Bai Suihe: "Actually, we already have enough people around us."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "It's not enough. We can't buy people with our current identities. The people my mother-in-law sent are just right."

He didn't dare to provoke outsiders easily, for fear that some people might take the opportunity to send people over.

However, the people sent by the Bai family from the capital were different. They were all Madam Bai's confidants, and their indentures and family members were in her hands. The possibility of these people betraying their masters was very low, and they could be used with more peace of mind.

"Then I'll have Dongmei and the others clean up the front houses. Our land has already been cleared and developed, so their arrival will be a good opportunity to help manage the mountains behind."

Madam Bai had already informed Dongmei about who was coming.

They didn't leave the capital together because they were transferred from the estates, which were quite far from the capital, and the round trip would have taken too long.

The kang (heated brick bed) inside the house was always burning, so you couldn't feel the cold outside.

However, this person needs to stay hydrated, so Bai Suihe always has a glass of warm water on hand.

Sipping water and listening to the wind outside, I thought, "It seems unusually cold today. It's been brewing for days. Will it snow today?"

They've been scavenging for things in the village these past few days, and even if the village is sealed off by heavy snow today, they're not afraid of going hungry.

"I don't know. The village chief said it would snow a couple of days ago, but several days have passed. The weather here is really unpredictable."

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a rustling sound. "Is it hailing?"

“It’s sleet, they call it sand snow here,” Gu Kaiyuan knew without even leaving home. “It seems the heavy snow has really arrived.”

"Sha Zixue," Bai Suihe said curiously, walking to the door and wanting to open it to go out, but Gu Kaiyuan grabbed her arm.

"Put your clothes on before you go out," the kang (heated brick bed) inside was warm and cozy, but the wind outside was biting cold.

Bai Suihe, fully armed, stood in the courtyard, reaching out to catch the tiny ice particles falling from the sky. "This is the sand snow you were talking about. It really does look like it."

"That's enough," Gu Kaiyuan said, waiting for her to show interest for a while before helping her into the room. "Should I ask Dongmei to make some more ginger soup?"

Bai Suihe quickly waved her hand, "It's only been a short while, it can't be that serious."

She felt like she was in prison ever since the house was built; you could say she was rooted to the house.

However, these days are already very good. Thinking back to the journey before, they were traveling in the cold wind and heavy rain. Even though Gu Kaiyuan had made full preparations, it was impossible for the carriage to be completely drafty.

She knew that as a pregnant woman, she dared not be careless in the slightest, as even a slight cold could harm the baby.

Therefore, she has always been self-disciplined and tried her best not to cause trouble for herself or others.

"Luckily we arrived a few days ago. If we had entered the village at this time, building a house would have been a huge problem."

Gu Kaiyuan also felt that his luck had improved a lot since he was reborn.

The village isn't far from the county seat, and it's so much better than the remote place we chose last time.

It took two days to get from that village to the county town, and even a small market wouldn't be open for several days. It was inconvenient to buy anything back then, and with this weather, it was the darkest time of the year.

"It's so warm in here, it makes me want to sleep all the time," Bai Suihe yawned, then sat down on the edge of the kang (heated brick bed), took off her shoes, and prepared to snuggle back into bed.
