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

Chapter 31 031. Father and Son
Gu Kaiyuan sent Lin Hua and Lin Wei out again, asking them to go to several nearby farms and put all the recent harvests in the warehouse, and he would go to take them when the time came.

Most of the things in the warehouse are food. If there are more or less, it will not attract much attention.

After arranging everything, Gu Kaiyuan went to the small courtyard where he had shopped before, changed into a coarse cloth, covered his face, and then walked into an alley with his load on his shoulder.

At the end of the alley, there is the last house here.

Some of the mottled doors were closed tightly, with seals on the outside.

Gu Kaiyuan knew that this was just a trick. This courtyard had actually been in Gu Baijiang's hands for a long time. The government had filed a case, but they had not removed the seal on the outside, giving people the illusion that the courtyard was still in the hands of the government, and no one dared to enter easily.

After going around to the back, he found a lock hanging on the corner door. Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Kaiyuan jumped directly into the wall.

The backyard was overgrown with weeds, even taller than he was.

Gu Kaiyuan quickly came to the corridor and went directly to the study according to the message he received later.

This courtyard was also the property confiscated during the house search, but I don’t know how it was taken into Gu Baijiang’s possession.

The ownership of this courtyard is not under the name of the Gu family, and only the eldest wife knows about this.

Even if they are biological children, they are divided into different levels. But this time, the father's plan may fail.

I wonder what the Third Prince’s expression would be like when he finally found out that the yard had been emptied?
It’s a pity that I can’t see it with my own eyes.

Entering the study, there was nothing else except a few messy bookshelves. Gu Kaiyuan was not fooled by the appearance, but squatted on the ground and tapped around.

Finally, he heard a different sound on the seventh board. He took out the dagger, pried it open gently, and the board was immediately taken out.

Looking at the button that appeared in front of him, Gu Kaiyuan pressed it without thinking.

With clanging sounds, a tunnel appeared in front of him.

Gu Kaiyuan did not rush forward. He took out a tinderbox, found a half-burnt candle from the abandoned shelf, lit it, placed the candle in front, and made sure there was no problem before slowly going down to the basement.

The basement is quite large, about the size of their yard, and is filled with boxes.

Gu Kaiyuan opened the two nearest ones and was surprised to find that they were full of silver. Turning them over, he saw the seal of the national treasury.

I opened a few boxes and found some differences. It seems that they were not stored in the same batch.

There were also several boxes of jewels and gold bars, which filled the box to the brim.

I wonder where other things come from besides military pay?
Gu Baijiang is really brave. He put so much silver here and didn't even send anyone to guard it.

He did the opposite, and in his previous life he had indeed concealed it from the Third Prince. For the sake of this silver, the Third Prince protected them all the way.

Unfortunately, man proposes, God disposes. He came back again, and his wife got the treasure, which was considered as compensation for their family in the previous life.

This time, as long as they don't provoke them again, Gu Kaiyuan can still refrain from revenge.

But if he really continues to seek death, Gu Kaiyuan will not let him off easily.

But given their nature, is it possible?
Gu Kaiyuan turned around and went out directly. He carefully restored the outside to its original state and then left the yard quietly.

He left early in the morning and returned when the sun had already set. The gatekeeper opened the door and whispered in his ear, "Third Young Master, the master has returned home."

Gu Kaiyuan raised his eyebrows. Today was really a rare day. You know, before the accident in his previous life, Gu Baijiang was so busy that he had to rest in a small courtyard near the palace.

It is said that this will make it easier to summon from the palace.

In fact, he only found out later that there was another concubine hidden in that small courtyard.

This is Gu Baijiang, who claims to be aloof from women and has set a family rule of not accepting any second-rate women.

The entire Gu family followed him and lived a poor life. The concubine, on the other hand, lived a comfortable life and did not have to serve the mistress. Moreover, many of the things that Gu Baijiang embezzled were sent to that small courtyard.

Later, the Gu family was exiled, and the concubine sold her house and took her family fortune to marry into the home of a sixth-rank official and become the mistress of the house.

It was only when Gu Antong returned to Beijing and brought Gu Kaiping with him to settle the bill that he found out about it.

He didn't delve into the specific amount of things, but it's different now. It seems he has to find an opportunity to go there. This time, nothing will be cheap for Dafang.

"This is a reward for you," Gu Kaiyuan threw over a silver coin and then walked in carrying the packed food.

"Third Young Master, you're back. The master is waiting for you." As soon as he stepped into the second courtyard, there was a maid guarding there.

"My father is back," Gu Kaiyuan said, pretending to be surprised. "I just happened to get some food from the restaurant so I can honor him."

"You bastard," Gu Baijiang came out of the study at this time, "your mother said you were messing around again?"

"Dad, this is totally unfair. I just came back yesterday and went out early this morning. Why am I being so rude?" Gu Kaiyuan sneered in his heart. They had previously despised the gifts he had carefully bought for them, and now he would feel guilty if he didn't give them a gift.

"Besides, I was out inspecting the property, sleeping in the open air, and traveling all over the place. I didn't expect that I would be punished."

"Your mother said that you are not as filial as before?" Gu Baijiang knew that Xu Huizhen was talking nonsense, but for the sake of family balance, someone had to make sacrifices.

"So, Dad, you're talking about this," Gu Kaiyuan suddenly realized, "It's really not my fault. Before, when I brought gifts home, you told Mom that I was a spendthrift and didn't know how to save money. Later, I reflected on it and felt that what you two elders said was right.

Even if I want to show my filial piety in the future, I should follow the lead of my elder and second brothers and not overstep the line.

Didn't you teach me this, Dad? Brothers should be friendly and respectful to each other, but what did I do wrong this time? "

Gu Baijiang was choked by these words, as these were exactly what he had said when scolding his son before.

As the head of the family, he certainly knew that the money the third brother used to buy gifts was earned from reselling goods along the way.

He knew that Xu was subsidizing her family, and for the sake of his reputation, he couldn't really ignore the Xu family. The third brother's behavior just filled this hole and prevented Xu from becoming more and more excessive.

But I don't know who whispered some nonsense in this kid's ear, causing his temperament to change drastically, and he even used his own words to talk back at me.

"But she is your mother after all. You should just follow her instructions."

"I understand, my son. From now on, I will obey my mother, manage the household frugally, and work hard to contribute to the family."

"Speaking of this, I have something to tell you. Your mother said that it won't last long if you keep taking care of the tribal affairs like this all day..."
