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

If Gu Kaichen turned around, he would know that it was Lin Hua, and that this was another trap set by Gu Kaiyuan.

Even if he knew that, he would still jump, because there was no place for him to stay in Zhang County.

He ran all the way home and saw Xu Yulan picking wild vegetables. He went over and kicked her away, saying, "Stop picking them! Hurry up and pack your things, let's go home."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Going home? This is their home, but when Xu Yulan looked up and saw his injured face, her voice immediately became sharp, "Did you go gambling again?"

Gu Kaichen said, "Don't worry about all that. When I said 'go home,' I meant go back to the capital. The house that the Third Prince gave to our father. We're not going to live this miserable life anymore."

Xu Yulan immediately jumped up, "Are you serious? But my father-in-law and his family sent a car to pick us up."

At this moment, she didn't care that the wild vegetables would be their food for the night; once they returned to the capital, they could eat any delicious food they wanted.

“No, I’m afraid they’ve forgotten about us,” Gu Kaichen said, his voice filled with resentment. “I heard from others that if they don’t come to pick us up, we’ll go by ourselves.”

If Xu Shuanghong and her daughter dared to travel alone, what else could they be afraid of?
"But we have nothing at home, how are we going to get on our way?" Besides the jewelry that was found during the search, Gu Kaichen had sold off all the things he had bought for the house, leaving them practically destitute.

"Go and pack a few sets of clothes first, I have a plan." Gu Kaichen returned to his room, packed his best clothes, and slung his bag over his shoulder. The pain in his back made him bend over immediately.

Xu Yulan didn't even glance at him before running back to her room to pack. Once she returned to the capital, she wouldn't be a pitiful little girl without anyone to rely on anymore. She would definitely file a complaint with her family and make sure the Gu family compensated her.

Both of them had their own thoughts, but they moved quickly. When she saw Gu Kaichen bring her to Gu Li's house, she guessed what Gu Kaichen's so-called method was.

She didn't think Gu Li would be willing to help. Everyone in the clan knew what kind of life she had been living in the village these days, but no one had offered a helping hand.

However, she didn't try to dissuade him. Although Gu Kaichen was a bit of a scoundrel, he was still quite clever, and maybe this matter could actually work out.

When Gu Li saw Gu Kaichen and his current appearance, with his eyes drooping, he didn't say anything.

"Grandpa," Gu Kaichen knelt directly in front of Gu Li, "please help me."

Gu Li said, "What can I do to help you? I'm just a decrepit old man now."

"You are the clan leader, I beg you to uphold justice for me..."

Upon hearing the news, Gu Baihe, who rushed back, sneered, "Your news is a bit outdated. Thanks to you and your father, my father is no longer the clan leader."

If you want the clan chief to uphold justice, turn left after you leave; it's the fifth house ahead.

Gu Kaichen wasn't familiar with the people in the clan, so how would he know who the fifth family was? Right now, the closest person in the clan was this great-grandfather; everyone else had long since been beyond the fifth degree of kinship.

“You are our great-grandfather, I don’t trust anyone else.”

"You didn't owe gambling debts again and asked us to pay them off, did you?" Gu Kaichun and his brothers came in and, seeing his appearance, guessed that he had probably been beaten by debt collectors again. Who would dare to mess with someone like that? So they couldn't help but remind their family not to be pushovers.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, everyone became wary; this was something to be avoided at all costs.

“No,” Gu Kaichen said hastily, afraid that he would be kicked out before he could speak. “My father has settled down in the capital, and my wife and I want to go back to the capital.”

“Then you should go back,” Gu Kaichun muttered. “This is none of your business to tell us. If you just want to tell us, then let us know.” “Grandpa, you know I was a bit of a scoundrel before. I’ve spent all the money in the house. I need travel expenses to go to the capital, so I thought I’d ask you for some money first.”

"Looks like it really is about borrowing money," Gu Kailiang added sarcastically. "Isn't this just another new excuse? Once this money is borrowed, it's gone forever."

"No, Grandpa, you have to believe me." Gu Kaichen was determined to achieve his goal today no matter what. "I've packed my bags. If you don't believe me, you can come with me."

My father promised you he would find you a place to settle down in Beijing. Let's go back to Beijing together and talk to him about it in person.

Gu Kaichen's words were truly enticing, and the clansmen who had originally just been watching the excitement from outside the door started to get their minds working.

Last time, Gu Baijiang left in a hurry, and with the Third Prince's guards around, they dared not do anything.

But no matter what, they are still clansmen and elders. If they really come knocking on his door, I don't believe Gu Baijiang would really ignore it.

Gu Li looked up and saw the new clan leader standing outside the door. "Bai Mu, you are the clan leader now, so of course you should make these decisions."

I'm old now, I don't have the energy, and I don't want to care anymore.

After saying that, she reached out and pulled her eldest son along, and they staggered back into the inner room.

Gu Kaichen cursed inwardly, "If it weren't for the clan leader saying so earlier, I would have been forced to kneel for so long."

He quickly stood up and knelt before Gu Li, because Gu Li was his elder. But who was this new clan leader? His grandfather called him Bai Mu, so he was of the same generation as his father. "Clan leader, who do you think should accompany me to the capital?"
Once we reach the capital, I will have my father fulfill his promise as soon as possible.

Seeing that many clansmen were somewhat moved, as this was their greatest hope, Gu Baimu said, "This matter is not urgent. We need to discuss it carefully and see how many people should go and who should go."

Upon hearing that it needed to be discussed further, Gu Kaichen frowned, feeling even more pain all over his body. "How long will it take you?"

Gu Baimu glanced at the sky outside. "It's getting late. Even if you leave now, you won't be able to find a carriage."

I heard the journey has been safe, but we can't possibly walk back on our own two legs. We really need to discuss this carefully.

How many people will go? How much will it cost along the way? How much will everyone have to contribute? All of these things need to be calculated.

Gu Kaichen wanted to urge him further, but Xu Yulan quickly grabbed his arm, saying, "The clan leader is right, everything has to wait until tomorrow."

She wasn't some ignorant woman; her people were so poor, raising money would take time.

Gu Kaichen was dragged away, and as soon as they returned to their dilapidated home, he threw down his bundle and said, "Hurry up and make something to eat so we'll have the energy to travel tomorrow."

Looking at the wild vegetables scattered on the ground, Xu Yulan was indeed a little hungry. She could only squat down, pick them up again, wash them twice by the river, put them directly into a pot with some water, cook them, sprinkle some salt, and serve each person a bowl.

"Eating this kind of thing every day..."

Xu Yulan didn't even look up. "If you don't want to eat, then don't. I picked these up from the foot of the mountain. Otherwise, you wouldn't even have anything to eat."

Gu Kaichen was speechless. If he could have returned to the capital a day earlier, he wouldn't have become addicted to gambling... (End of Chapter)
