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

Chapter 315 315. Calculation
Gu Kaiyuan watched the two sides argue quietly. At this moment, he understood why Bai Suihe liked to watch the excitement. It was indeed quite interesting to see these people arguing so heatedly over a trivial matter.

Knowing he had gained nothing that day, Chen Dafu left with his hands behind his back.

In fact, he had long guessed that Gu Kaiyuan would not leave anytime soon, after all, Bai Suihe's pregnancy was a given.

He made this trip to tell everyone that he was in a hurry to return to Beijing, but he was timid and afraid of trouble, so he thought he would stay and wait for Gu Kaiyuan.

As for going back with Gu Baijiang and the others? Chen Dafu knew he wasn't stupid enough to do something so foolish.

When Chen Dafu ran into Gu Kaiping on the road, he stopped to greet him, "Young Master Gu, congratulations! You're about to return to the capital. Have you prepared everything?"

Gu Kaiping: "Lord Chen, is everything ready?"

"Well, I do want to go back as soon as possible, but we are all old and young, and we dare not travel. We were just thinking of seeing if Gu Kaiyuan and the others wanted to go, so we could travel together."

Gu Kaiping stopped in his tracks. "Oh, when are my third brother and the others leaving?"

"Sigh, Gu Kaiyuan is a doting husband, but his wife is heavily pregnant and about to give birth, so she definitely won't leave at this time."

From what he said, it seems he wants to wait until the child is born and a bit older before leaving, which means there's going to be a long wait.

Chen Dafu wasn't afraid that Gu Kaiyuan would change his mind because of the Gu family, so he didn't try to hide it.

"He's just being ridiculous. Back in the capital, there are plenty of midwives and wet nurses to find. In this remote, impoverished place, what if something really happens..."

Chen Dafu looked at him with disdain. These were supposed to be his own brothers, yet they spoke such righteous words while harboring malicious intentions.

Is Bai Suihe really suited for a long journey? She probably won't even leave Lingnan before the illness strikes. If she gives birth on the road, it will likely result in the death of both mother and child.

"Young Master Gu, you shouldn't just focus on studying the classics. If you really don't understand some common sense about life, go back and ask your wife."

After Chen Dafu finished speaking, he simply turned and left. Walking with someone like that would only lower his own standards.

Gu Kaiping didn't understand. Where did he go wrong in what he just said?

Seeing the commotion at the end of the village, and vaguely hearing what sounded like an argument, he knew it wasn't the right time to go over, so he turned back and went home.

Seeing Liu Yun busy hanging clothes in the yard, I walked over and sat down beside her to watch her work.

I don't know why, but I brought up my conversation with Chen Dafu. "Madam, do you think I said something wrong?"

Liu Yun turned her back to him, silently gazing at the sky. Just as Lord Chen had said, this man was a blockhead.

Without his father-in-law's support in the court, even if he were to return to the Hanlin Academy, his career would likely be fraught with difficulties.

It seems all our hopes are pinned on my son. Oh, and there's An Tong too. If she enters the Third Prince's household, and the Third Prince eventually takes that position, her daughter can too...

"Madam, is there really something wrong with what I said?" Having received no response, Guo Kaiping continued to ask.

“What my husband said is not wrong, it’s just that the timing is wrong.”

Bai Suihe was about to give birth, and it seemed like it would only be a few days. She had even heard that a midwife had been brought to the courtyard. How could she possibly endure such a bumpy ride at this time?

“But things are different now than when we were exiled. We can take the official roads and ride back at full speed…”

Liu Yun clenched her fists. This man had no heart at all. She was also extremely grateful that she hadn't encountered these hardships when she gave birth. Otherwise, given this man's ignorance, how could she still be alive?

“Even if the official roads are smoother, the carriage will still be bumpy, and they become muddy when it rains. If the carriage slips, an ordinary person might only get injured, but for a pregnant woman, it could be fatal.” Even after all this, Gu Kaiping remained unconvinced, muttering, “Why are you being so dramatic? It’s just childbirth, what woman can’t do that?”

"If something really happens, it's okay. We can just find him someone even better after we get back to Beijing."

We definitely can't choose a wealthy family like the Bai family, lest the third brother still try to outdo the two brothers.

Liu Yun didn't want to talk to him anymore, so she poured out the water in the basin and went to her room to rest.

So many things happen every day, and there's not even anyone to help.

We're about to return to Beijing, and Tong'er needs to take good care of her hands and face, so she won't be able to help me with that.

As for Xu Shuanghong, his stepmother-in-law, he only took care of some of Gu Baijiang's affairs and it was already good enough that he didn't interfere.

What angered her the most was Fan Meilin, who followed An Tong around every day, doing nothing but imitating some of An Tong's routines and behaviors.

I knew all along that the mother and her two daughters had ulterior motives, and now they're not even trying to hide it anymore.

What angered her the most was that Gu Baijiang, her grandfather, seemed to be involved in making this happen, and even had Tong'er teach her manners.

Just as she was about to lie down, she heard a noise coming from the bed not far away. She didn't care; that was Fan Meibao's spot. Ever since she was injured, this woman seemed to have given up on herself and just lay on the bed like a corpse all day.

The wound had already been treated by the doctor, and the patient had taken so much medicine that they should have been able to get up long ago, but they stubbornly refused to get out of bed.

"Water, quickly bring me water..."

Liu Yun rolled over; let her make a fuss, she was already used to it.

It seems that the Xu mother and daughter went out today. Fan Meibao called for a long time, but no one paid any attention to her. She thought that she would stop after she got tired of calling, but she heard only a few scattered voices.

Liu Yun yawned, listening carefully to the sounds. Were they getting ready to get out of bed?
It would be good if I could work in the fields, then I could help with some of the housework.

"Where are my mother and sister..." A dark figure suddenly appeared in front of Liu Yun, his voice cold and detached, startling Liu Yun so much that she quickly sat up.

Clutching his chest, he said with a displeased expression, "You scared me to death! How was I supposed to know where your mother and sister went?"
"It's a small place anyway, you can find it yourself."

"Why should I go look for them? Get up and go find them for me..."

Liu Yun pointed at herself incredulously, "Are you ordering me around?"

"It's fine if you think that way. Anyway, your Gu family owes me. What's wrong with me ordering you around?" Fan Meibao said with a sinister look. "Since I'm already like this, no one should have an easy time."

Fan Meibao has already given up on herself. She's no longer a perfect woman and has no hope for the future, so why bother leaving her a way out?

All of this was caused by Gu Baijiang; it was all the Gu family's misdeeds that ruined her.

Every member of the Gu family, regardless of age, should bear the consequences of their anger.

Liu Yun looked at the thin, frail girl with a sneer. With her looks like that, she thought she could cause trouble in the Gu family?

"What if I say, I don't?"
