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

Bai Suihe shook her head. This wasn't the place to talk. "I suddenly remembered something. We'll discuss it in detail when we get back."

Gu Xingyang's slightly excited voice rang in their minds, "Mother, if you have trouble saying it, I can say it for you."

"Baby is Mommy's mouthpiece, your radio."

Gu Kaiyuan heard new terms again, but he didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, the mother and daughter had a deeper understanding than he did. He didn't know how to express his jealousy, so he could only accept it silently.

Bai Suihe relayed her idea to Gu Xingyang, who immediately clapped her hands excitedly, "Mommy, this is a great idea! I can already see wealth rolling in..."

Gu Kaiyuan gently grasped her little hand, "You little one, you already know about making money. But your mother's idea is not bad, and her concerns are not wrong. This matter needs to be considered carefully."

With our current status, we can't protect this thing. I'll think about it later and try to find a reliable partner.

As for the Bai family, their business is doing quite well, but the relationships behind them are also very complicated, so there's no need for them to get involved anymore.

Moreover, faced with such a large temptation, even the Bai family would probably find it hard to resist.

Although the Bai family has built a large business over the years, none of their businesses have been particularly prominent. Even if they suffer losses, it won't cause much damage to the Bai family or have a significant impact.

After the carriage returned to the city, Gu Kaiyuan, under the pretext of looking at houses, took Bai Suihe and stored all the seafood that had been delivered into Bai Suihe's spatial storage.

Just as they were about to turn back, Gu Xingyang suddenly called out to them, "Mother, didn't you want to get rich? I've discovered a treasure."

Gu Xingyang knew that her parents had been working hard these days to expand the family business, and she wanted to do her part as well.

Bai Suihe's brow twitched slightly, a premonition rising in her heart that this little girl might bring them a fright.

Gu Kaiyuan picked her up upright and said, "Treasures are usually hidden deep in the mountains and forests. This is just a residential area. Who would be foolish enough to hide something here?"

"You silly girl, did you find some loose silver coins lying around somewhere?"

Gu Xingyang pouted. Her own father's distrust of her made her a little unhappy. She waved her hands, wanting to turn to Bai Suihe, who accepted her offer.

"Mommy, I'm going to tell you a secret, but let's not tell Daddy," Gu Xingyang said in her childish voice.

Bai Suihe raised an eyebrow at Gu Kaiyuan opposite her, only to see him already smiling wryly, no longer mocking him.

Gu Kaiyuan couldn't help but reach out and rub the hat on Gu Xingyang's head. "I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already sentenced me to death?"

Besides, if you're going to share a secret, you should at least keep your distance from me.

If he's a certain distance away, he definitely won't be able to hear it.

Gu Xingyang said, "You naughty daddy, even if I only tell my mother, she'll secretly tell you the moment she turns her back. I'm not going to do something so troublesome."

I'm expressing my dissatisfaction; you need to learn to be someone who doesn't spoil the mood.

Gu Kaiyuan didn't understand what this meant.

"This is not a downer. It refers to a wide range of things, but it all means the same thing: whatever my mother and I need, you just need to accommodate us."

Seeing his wife nod in agreement, Gu Kaiyuan quickly surrendered, "You and your mother are right. From now on, I will be your and your mother's long-term servant. I will go wherever you tell me to go."

These words made Gu Xingyang giggle. "Then let me tell you, there's an entrance in the backyard of this house, near the water vat. There's lots of gold and silver jewelry inside. Our family is rich!" The couple looked at each other. When did they become so lucky? They just bought a small courtyard and they could find a treasure.

"Who bought this house?" Bai Suihe wouldn't rashly take the things out; what if it already belonged to someone?

"I got it from a brokerage firm, but I overheard the broker say that the house was bought by the family of the wife of the beheaded magistrate, and they don't usually live there."

Influenced by the county magistrate's actions, this family feared being targeted and punished here. The moment the magistrate was arrested, they packed their bags and returned to their hometown. They sold all their properties to a brokerage firm, and they probably would never dare return here in their lifetime.

As Gu Kaiyuan spoke, he had a guess in his mind, but he wasn't sure yet, so he could only ask his precious daughter, "Baby, is this the original magistrate's family fortune?"

Gu Xingyang blinked. "Father, I really don't know. I only know the location of the treasure."

She's just a baby, how could she know so much?

"Didn't Daddy buy this house? Then everything inside must belong to us."

Gu Kaiyuan, “…”, “That makes a lot of sense.”

However, since it's just the three of them here now, it's not unreasonable to go and take a look.

Bai Suihe, "You're not thinking of handing these things over, are you??"

If that's the case, then it's rather foolish. Although these are also the result of the county magistrate squeezing money from the people, if you just send them out like that, who knows if you're keeping any for yourself?
"Of course not. Even if we hand these things over, people won't trust us, and they'll probably just end up in someone else's pocket anyway. It's better if we keep them and give back to the poor people when we have the chance."

The couple talked, but they were both in sync as they headed towards the backyard.

Seeing the water vat lying there, covered in dust, which was quite large and required two people to lift, Gu Kaiyuan began to study it.

Bai Suihe looked around but found no flaws. They also touched everything around the walls and corners. Finally, both of them focused their attention on the jar.

Gu Kaiyuan clapped his hands.
Gu Kaiyuan said, "Let me move this water tank and take a look."

I initially thought there was some ingenious mechanism involved, but now it seems we really have to use brute force.

Perhaps due to his limited strength, the water tank remained completely still.

Bai Suihe, “…Try turning it, see if you can turn it?”

I've seen how mechanisms work in movies before, and even though this water tank is a bit big, it's not impossible.

Before the words were even finished, Gu Kaiyuan did as he was told, turning the water tank in the correct direction. As the water tank turned, a 1-meter-wide entrance appeared on the kitchen floor.

No wonder they were tinkering around here without learning anything; the mechanism was outside, but the entrance was inside the kitchen.

Gu Kaiyuan stopped Bai Suihe, who was about to step forward, and said, "Wait a minute, let me see if we can go in."

Bai Suihe was curious, but she wasn't stupid; she just wanted to peek inside.

Gu Kaiyuan picked up a stone and threw it in. He immediately heard the sound of the stone hitting the ground, indicating that the hole was not very deep.

Gu Kaiyuan took out a tinderbox, found a candle in the kitchen, and placed it at the entrance of the hole. The candle did not go out, so he slowly moved forward. (End of Chapter)
