Chapter 316. News
Fan Meibao giggled, a laugh that sent chills down everyone's spine. Just when Liu Yun thought she was about to do something, she turned around and left.

"Crazy!" Liu Yun lay down, ready to get some rest, when a chill swept over her, and she found herself soaked to the bone, even the bed was drenched.

"You're crazy..."

"You've driven me crazy! I'm going to show you that if I'm not having a good time, none of you will be either." Fan Meibao was still holding a water ladle in her hand. "Was it cold this time? Was it satisfying? Next time I can give you something hot."

Now there was no way to stay in bed. Liu Yun threw off the covers and stood up, angrily lunging at Fan Meibao. But Fan Meibao turned around and ran straight out.

Damn it, this is a madman. A madman knows fear?
They're really having a run of bad luck. This year, the Gu family must have offended the Grand Duke Jupiter, because everything is going so wrong.

Despite the cold outside, she didn't lose her temper and chase after them. Instead, she changed her clothes first and then took the blanket to the fire to dry it.

There's only one blanket for each person, otherwise what will she sleep on tonight?
Thinking of this, she turned to look at Fan Meibao's bed again, and said with a cold smile, "You can run away, but you can't hide. If you make my life difficult, then none of us will live well."

Xu Yulan, who had just witnessed everything outside, twitched her lips slightly. She thought, "This is insane, and it's contagious. No, I have to get back to the capital as soon as possible. Once I'm back in the capital, I won't be afraid."

These things about the Gu family were no secret in the village, and Bai Suihe would hear about them from time to time.

Hearing that this family was having a great time, Bai Suihe couldn't resist wanting to move a wooden tablet over to listen to the live performance.

Money can solve many problems. Now that the Gu family no longer has her as a sucker, their lives are truly quite exciting.

It seems the Third Prince is really poor; he can't even afford this small settlement allowance, leaving the entire Gu family crammed into that tiny room, causing chaos and disorder all the time.

If you really want to, you can give them more money like they do, and sell them any size land in the village.

It could also be registered under Ming Peifeng's name. I don't know if these people have truly forgotten or are just selectively forgetting.

“The Gu family is too noisy,” Granny Pang said, shaking her head as she saw the young master leading people to the backyard to work on his greenhouse. “Fortunately, the young master is still rational and didn’t continue to get involved with them. Otherwise, living with so many people would make him angry nine times a day.”

Bai Suihe deeply agreed, "I don't know what Lord Gu was thinking. He was already struggling to take care of himself, yet he still got lustful and brought in this mother and her two daughters. Knowing that they had ill intentions, he actually agreed to let Xu Shuanghong be included in the family genealogy."

I sighed inwardly. Xu Huizhen's life was truly not worth it. I wonder if she will ever see all of this, and if she will regret it.

Bai Suihe is no longer an atheist. She was able to come here, so she believes that there are souls in this world.

“Such a clever person must have his own plans,” Granny Pang had already learned from the two maids that the Gu family’s behavior along the way showed their disdain for the whole family. “The pardon notice has been out for so many days now, why haven’t these people gone back yet?”

Bai Suihe: "Everyone is waiting, waiting to take advantage."

These days, people come to Gu Kaiyuan every day to ask when they will return to Beijing. Gu Kaiyuan is also very annoyed by them and has been trying his best to avoid walking around the village.

He's either hiding in the backyard watching over his vegetables or going into the mountains to hunt.

This is so different from the majestic general in the book that Bai Suihe sometimes can't help but wonder if it's because she crushed his ambition.
She couldn't help but pat her slightly chubby face with a touch of self-admiration. In the later stages of her pregnancy, coupled with the good food she had been eating, she had gained a lot of weight.

If it weren't for Granny Pang's promise to help her regain her former appearance after the child was born, she would have had to start controlling her food intake.

However, she made sure to eat less every day, because loving beauty is every woman's nature, and she couldn't let herself ruin her body like that. "Knowing it's impossible," Granny Pang shook her head, "people are selfish when it comes to their own interests."

Fortunately, the son-in-law was wise enough, otherwise…

She glanced at Bai Suihe and then said, "The son-in-law is a good man."

Bai Suihe knew what she was going to say next. If Gu Kaiyuan saw the notice and packed his bags to return to the capital, even if Bai Suihe agreed, Granny Pang would find a way to keep him there.

Because of this, Granny Pang has been exceptionally kind and gentle to Gu Kaiyuan these past two days, and occasionally she will cook some medicinal dishes suitable for Gu Kaiyuan to help him recover.

Just then, Dongmei and Chunxiang, who had gone to town to buy things, hurriedly returned. Today, they had gone to town to buy things for their daughter's household.

"Miss, Granny," the two maids, each carrying a large pile of things, greeted each other as soon as they met.

"Have you bought everything?" Bai Suihe really wanted to go into the city, but she wasn't allowed to.

It's almost the end of the year, and the county town is crowded. The roads aren't very smooth either. Going into town now would only cause you trouble.

"We've almost bought everything," Dongmei said, placing the items on the table one by one. "The only problem is that the cloth shop is doing so well that we couldn't get the fine cotton cloth that Granny wanted. But we've already made an appointment with the shopkeeper and paid a deposit. We can just go and pick it up in a few days."

Granny Pang wanted fine cotton cloth to make clothes for the soon-to-be-born little master. She had already made some, but babies grow quickly, so she needed to prepare more in advance.

"That's settled then," Granny Pang nodded with a smile. These two maids have made some progress. Fortunately, they weren't too dull and came back to ask questions first. They know how to be flexible and make good use of their talents so that they can share the burden for their mistress in the future.

"Did you hear anything interesting when you went into town?" Bai Suihe had been reading all morning and now that she was taking a break, she naturally wanted to hear some gossip to relax.

There's only so much gossip in this village, and Bai Suihe is already tired of hearing it.

“There really is one,” Chunxiang’s eyes lit up as she said this. “I wonder if Miss still remembers that Old Madam Zhou?”

Bai Suihe nodded, "Of course I remember. Old Madam Zhou was a pitiful person. She was ruined by her stepson all her life."

Granny Pang couldn't help but prick up her ears. It was another story of feuds and grudges within the inner quarters. This time, she wanted to hear what was different.

"Madam Zhou and the others returned to Beijing today."

Bai Suihe, "...Is this really a breakup with Zhou Gang?"

"Didn't the two families separate a long time ago?" Dongmei asked, puzzled. In her opinion, once the families separated, they were no longer one family.

"Dividing the family is one thing, but important matters still need to be discussed by the whole family. It's probably not that simple that Old Madam Zhou is rushing back to the capital with her family at this time."

Madam Zhou must have been a traditional woman, otherwise she wouldn't have been repeatedly harmed by her stepson and even paid out of her own pocket to give him a share of the family property.
