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

Chapter 32. Soft Rice
Gu Kaiyuan understood that because he didn't bring anything back this time, they were preparing to give him a warning.

Also let him know that he is nothing without home.

It’s a pity that their plan will never come true.

"I think what father and mother said makes sense," Gu Kaiyuan said respectfully, even changing his address, "When this family business involves my brother in the future, it would be inappropriate for me to interfere too much.

It just so happened that Bai had a dowry shop and a farm, and it was not easy for her, a woman, to go out and take care of them, and leaving them to the servants was not a long-term solution.

Before, Bai complained to me that he was afraid that he would be deceived by the people under him if time went on.

My son wants to take this opportunity to take over all these businesses and see if he can find a way out for himself."

Gu Baijiang's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. The Bai family had helped a lot at that time, and he did owe them a favor.

But this was not enough to get the girl from the Bai family to marry him. What he was attracted by was the wealth of the Bai family and the generous dowry.

You know, the dowry of the third wife is more than the apparent assets of him as a second-rank minister.

With Bai's marriage, no one dared to complain even if the Gu family lived a more luxurious life.

Now that the Bai family is willing to hand over the business to their son, this is a good thing for him. When all the businesses are integrated together, it will also strengthen the Gu family's wealth.

Thinking of this, he immediately became much kinder, "Bai is young, and it is indeed possible that he could be fooled by the people below him.

As her husband, if you can help, then of course you should do your best.

In that case, I will let the housekeeper handle the affairs of the mansion from now on, and you can focus on managing the Bai family's assets."

"Thank you for your understanding, father," Gu Kaiyuan said respectfully, "but regarding these properties, I still need Bai to take me out to hand them over to the shopkeepers."

"That's what we should do," Gu Baijiang had no doubts and agreed. He also wanted to get these things into the hands of his family as soon as possible before the Bai family could react.

"Is it just about the Bai family leaving the house?"

"I'll send someone to tell your mother that you can take Bai out of the house before these properties are handed over."

"Thank you very much, father." Gu Kaiyuan then asked, "I wonder if there is anything else you want to say."

"There's nothing else to say. Just remember to show respect to your mother on a regular basis. She may be harsh with her words, but she's always doing it for your own good."

"I know this, and I also know that there are many areas where I am lacking. I will learn from my two brothers and become a good son in the eyes of my parents, just like them."

Gu Baijiang did not hear the implicit meaning of these words. In his heart, the eldest brother was filial and was the future successor of the Gu family.

Although the second son is not so good at studying, he can enter the officialdom if he works hard for a few more years.

If all else fails, I will wait until he passes the imperial examination and find a way to help him donate money to get an official position. With the support of his brothers and me, he will have a good future.

As for the third son, the one who is least like his own son, he will manage the family business in the future so that the three of them can focus on their official careers.

"You should study hard with your two brothers and stop doing nothing all day long." Gu Baijiang scolded them again before turning around and going back to the study.

"Master, didn't the young master just say that he brought some food to eat with you?" The attendant beside him asked in surprise. The third young master was the most filial, so why did he just take the food away like that?
If the master can't finish the food, they, his subordinates, can help.

Gu Baijiang felt a little uncomfortable, thinking that the scolding he had just done to his son must have caused him to hold a grudge against him. This character was exactly like his mother's.

Only the eldest and second oldest are like him. From now on, he will focus all his energy on them. "Alright, the master doesn't need this little food. Go tell the kitchen to send some wine and food over later."

"Yes," surprise flashed in the eyes of the long-servant. With the master's share, they would not be lacking either.

Gu Kaiyuan was dismissive of Gu Baijiang's criticism. After a few days, he would understand what he meant. He had thought that these dishes would be lost, but now it seemed that Bai Suihe was in for a treat.

He came to the yard in a happy mood and found several maids guarding there. They were a little nervous when they saw him coming.

"It's the Third Young Master," the maids breathed a sigh of relief. "Greetings to the Third Young Master."

"Is the Third Young Master's wife in there?"

"Yes, Third Young Master, please come in." One of the maids hesitated to speak and finally said nothing.

Gu Kaiyuan didn't notice it, but ran in excitedly with things in his hands. The food in this mansion was not very rich unless the head of the family was there.

"Madam, I packed you some roast duck and their signature braised meat from Dinghuilou. They taste really good."

Gu Kaiyuan entered the inner courtyard and saw Bai Suihe walking in the yard. He quickly shook the oil bag in front of him.

Bai Suihe, "You're late, I'm full." It's so insincere to come back at this time.

Gu Kaiyuan brought the food into the house and said, "Then put it here and eat it later.

Their food tastes great, I guarantee you’ll want more.”

"How's the baby doing today? Has he been behaving well?"

Bai Suihe asked Dongmei and the others to go downstairs, then returned to the room. Gu Kaiyuan then closed and bolted the door.

The girl who hadn't left yet, "..."

"What's the matter? You're acting so mysterious as soon as you come back." Bai Suihe sat down and poured himself a glass of water, and then poured another for Gu Kaiyuan.

Gu Kaiyuan finished his water and then said, "I have some good news. Do you want to hear it?"

Bai Suihe, "It's just that you bought everything. What did you buy?"

"These are secondary." Gu Kaiyuan felt that the old man had finally done a good thing today. "You can leave the house with me in the next few days."

Bai Suihe, "...You mean it can be done unlimited times?"

Gu Kaiyuan told Gu Baijiang about his previous conversation, and said self-deprecatingly, "My family is just planning to make me a gigolo."

"Dinner is not bad, at least it nourishes the stomach." Bai Suihe replied casually, "It's not the first day you've known them. Do you still have expectations of them?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "...Madam really doesn't know how to comfort people. This has hurt me again."

After saying this, he held his heart and said, "One poke and one hit."

Bai Suihe, "There's just one thing I need to tell you. I fainted again today."

Gu Kaiyuan quickly stood up and looked Bai Suihe up and down. He looked fine. "What did the court doctor say?"

"He told me to rest more and not overwork myself."

"Mother is targeting you again." Gu Kaiyuan immediately understood the reason, "But you can't joke with your own body. What does the court doctor say?"

"Of course it's the same old thing. I prescribed some pregnancy-maintaining medicine," Bai Suihe said with a sly smile, "but it's always like this. I'm a little worried, so I want to go out and see a doctor."
