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

Gu Kaiping: "Yes, it was all my son's mistake; he didn't think of that for a moment."

Gu Kaiping wanted to slap himself hard; how could he have forgotten such basic etiquette? And what about Liu Shi? She'd been running around frantically searching for someone these past few days—could it be for the same reason?
It's a shame that she's supposed to be a woman in the inner quarters of the household; she's so clueless about things that should be her responsibility.

The father and son talked for a while, and then Gu Kaiping went back to his room and found Liu Yun to vent his anger. Only then did Liu Yun remember what had happened.

She also felt very wronged. "After I came back, I didn't have a single capable person by my side. The servants in this courtyard didn't know anything when I asked them questions, and I had to do everything myself."

Later, I was busy with my daughter's wedding, so I didn't have time to think about anything else.

Moreover, I didn't go to anyone else, only the Marquis's residence and a few other ladies I get along well with.

They used to hang out together all the time, and their interactions were very casual. There weren't so many rules.
So it's not her fault for not remembering the visiting card; her father-in-law and the others didn't remember either.

"But even if we have a visiting card, so what? What should we say on the visiting card?"
"Speaking of the Gu family, there are countless people with the surname Gu in the capital. Before, it was known as the Gu family of Vice Minister Gu, but now it's just the Gu family. Who knows who we are?"

Liu Yun was also venting her dissatisfaction. An Tong had been married for so long, and the Third Prince still hadn't helped her husband get his official position reinstated. Even if she went out to make a living, she wouldn't have any confidence.

Gu Kaiping, “…”

After Bai Suihe finished writing down today's pharmacological knowledge, along with some common sense, she discussed it with Granny Pang for a long time. Granny Pang couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, saying that the young lady had some talent in this area and was beginning to make her own judgments.

Bai Suihe felt a little embarrassed by the praise. She knew that her memory had improved a lot, but some of her insights were common knowledge from later generations, which anyone who paid attention to information would already know.

“Madam, the room is all ready,” Fuqin said. She had been busy making medicine in the pharmacy these past two days. “The master craftsman over there is asking if there is anything that needs to be corrected. Would you like to go and take a look?”

Bai Suihe and Granny Pang immediately stood up; of course, they had to go and see.

Previously, they only made medicines in empty rooms, where conditions were relatively simple, and sometimes the medicines inevitably got mixed together.

This preparation at the pharmacy is essential. It will allow for proper categorization of medicines and prevent the medicines they produce from being touched by others.

There are many medicines among them, but Bai Suihe has not yet created an antidote. Although none of them are fatal, it is not her intention to make her own people suffer.

Bai Suihe didn't quite understand the prescription, but seeing the satisfied look in Granny Pang's eyes, she knew that these craftsmen were quite skilled.

After the inspection was completed and the money was given, Granny Pang immediately went out to start purchasing medicinal herbs.

Since the lady learned how to make medicine, she hasn't used the medicine she made, but she doesn't know where it goes. She doesn't ask much, but she will cooperate. Anyway, they are all just prank medicines, so it doesn't matter if she makes more.

Unfortunately, after visiting all the pharmacies on the street, they found that the pharmacies didn't even have half the variety of medicines on their shelves, and many of the herbs they wanted were unavailable.

Besides having to search for these items in other counties and cities, the only other option is to go to the mountains to restock.

Upon hearing that they were going up the mountain to collect herbs, Bai Suihe didn't even bother to study the new prescription that Granny Pang had given her. "Granny, I'll go with you."

Granny Pang was capable of protecting herself, and Gu Kaiyuan was worried about her going up the mountain alone, so he also asked Lin Hua and Lin Wei to go with her.

“Madam, we’re not familiar with the terrain here. I’ll go and familiarize myself with it first, and I’ll definitely take you with me next time.” Granny Pang wouldn’t budge. After spring arrives, the animals that hibernate here will come out, which is when they are at their hungriest. She didn’t dare to take her mistress on a risk.

Once she's familiarized herself with the nearby mountains and knows which ones are safe, she'll take Madam up for a field trip. Gu Kaiyuan didn't want Bai Suihe to come into the mountains right now either. "What Granny said makes sense. It rained a couple of days ago, and there's a lot of moss on the mountain. If you don't have some skills, you might easily slip and fall."

"When the weather clears up, I'll personally accompany you into the mountains."

It wasn't that he didn't trust Granny Pang and the others, but he was always worried about them if he didn't go with them himself.

That day, he had arranged to go to the neighboring county to buy some land, so he suggested, "If you feel bored staying in the mansion, why don't you come with me to the neighboring county?"

Bai Suihe wasn't very interested in going to the neighboring county, but she knew she wouldn't be able to go into the mountains this time, and was thinking of refusing.

Gu Xingyang's voice echoed in his mind, "Mother, let's go to the next county, it's fun there..."

Bai Suihe tapped her little nose. Couldn't this house keep her inside? "What's so fun about that? You'd be sitting in the car for hours."

"We're all family, I want to go see them." Gu Xingyang blinked, trying to win over her mother's heart.

Before Bai Suihe could say anything, Gu Kaiyuan had already picked up the child, saying, "It's rare that the child wants to go too, look how happy she is..."

Granny Pang watched her young mistress dancing with joy, pleased that she had seen her, but did she really want to go? Why was it so mysterious?

The master actually came up with such words to appease his wife.

However, the lady seemed to be quite receptive to this, saying, "Since our little baby wants to go, then as his mother, of course I have to accompany him."

"Perhaps Lin Hua and Lin Wei shouldn't come up the mountain with me. I'm sure I'll be fine going up alone." Granny Pang knew the master's skills, and he was traveling with the yamen officials this time, so there was no problem with his safety. However, if the madam and young lady were to travel, it would be best if they brought more people with them.

Bai Suihe: "No need. I wouldn't feel at ease if my nanny didn't have someone with her."

Besides, you forgot I'm not someone to be trifled with now. If some daredevil were to come looking for trouble, I'd be more than happy to oblige.

She still needs test subjects for the drugs she made before.

After all, we put a lot of effort into making this thing, and it would feel like a waste not to use it.

So now she feels that traveling is fine, and it would be best if she encountered those robbers again, so that she could act without any psychological burden.

Granny Pang didn't know what to say. The madam was so confident in herself, why didn't she trust her? After all, she had taught her how to make those medicines.

However, he didn't say anything more, but he still went back to his room and brought back a few more bottles and jars.

Previously, what I taught my wife were all harmless things, things that served as minor punishments to serve as a warning.

But if you really want to defend yourself, you'll need these enhanced versions.

"This is a special sleeping potion. As long as you hold this antidote in your mouth, the people around you will collapse in three seconds."

Then he took out a white porcelain bottle and said, "You have to be careful with this one. Don't use it unless absolutely necessary."

This is corpse-dissolving powder. Just a small amount will make someone disappear silently. It's highly corrosive, so be careful. (End of Chapter)
