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

Gu Baijiang snorted coldly, but didn't mention the matter of dividing the family again.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to part with his son, but rather that he didn't want to create any more embarrassing situations.

There's only so much money in the house, and if we take it out, the second son will definitely make a fuss.

Gu Kaiping and his wife were somewhat disappointed. What a great opportunity! Their father had already spoken up. If it weren't for the Xu family's unexpected turn of events, this family might have been divided up today.

“Uncle Baijiang,” Gu Kaishan, a clansman who came with us, stepped forward and said, “The clan leader asked us to come together. I wonder how Uncle Baijiang plans to settle us? The clansmen are also waiting for news from Uncle Baijiang.”

Seeing these clansmen come along, Gu Baijiang knew what they meant.

He has a huge mess to deal with right now, so he can't possibly care about these clansmen.

How can he possibly resettle them? What means does he have to accommodate so many people?

But he still had to answer, and could only say with a bitter expression, "I know what the clan means, and that's what I promised before."

Life in the capital is not what I imagined. I haven't settled down completely yet, and I don't have the capacity to accommodate so many clansmen.

I'll get some travel money later. You all go back first, and I'll write to you to come over once I've settled in and found a place for you."

Gu Kaishan said, "Uncle Baijiang, we won't be able to explain this to you when we get back."

Since we're already here, why don't you settle us in first?

Don't worry, we're all strong. You can tell us what to do.

You point us to the location, and we'll build our own home.

Before they came, the clan members and the clan leader had already told them that no matter how bad the situation was, even if Gu Baijiang didn't want to talk to them, they should find a way to stay here shamelessly. With Gu Baijiang's personality, you can't reason with him or present the facts.

Gu Baijiang looked at his eldest son, hoping he would step in and resolve the issue, but found that the boy was drinking tea with his head down and hadn't looked up at all; he was just pretending to be stupid.

As for the second son, he was chatting enthusiastically with the clansmen next to him. If you didn't know better, you would think that these people were his biological brothers.

They're all bastards. Gu Baijiang really wanted to curse, but thinking of the people waiting outside to watch the show, he still tried to appease them, "I also have my own difficulties. We just arrived here and haven't settled down yet. We don't have much money, so we can't afford to buy such a large piece of land for our people to live on. This matter really needs to be delayed. Otherwise, even if you put a knife to my throat, I still won't be able to take it out."

Seeing Gu Baijiang start acting like a rogue, the expressions of several members of the Gu clan changed. Just as they had expected along the way, Gu Baijiang was truly a scoundrel, making fun of them again.

"Uncle Baijiang, that's not right. You didn't say that back in Lingnan."

Look at the life you live now, the clothes you wear, and the jewelry your female relatives wear. Is this because you don't have money?

"You've already broken your promise once before, are you going to play us again this time?" Gu Kaishan stood up, and the Gu clan members all stood up as well. "Today, you have to give us an explanation no matter what."

Otherwise, don't blame us for sending a letter; the entire Gu clan will come."

Standing behind him, Gu Kaitian looked at the Gu family and said, "Brother Kaishan, this is a good idea. I said it before: let our clansmen come together."

The roads to Lingnan are now very easy to travel, and with spring in full bloom, there are plenty of wild vegetables along the roadside, enough to last all the way to the capital.

Seeing that they were threatening him, Gu Baijiang could only swallow his anger. "You young people shouldn't be so hasty in your actions. I haven't finished speaking yet."

Living in Beijing is not easy; it's not as simple as you think.

With so many people in our tribe, we couldn't possibly find such a large place all at once. If you don't believe me, you can stay here for a few days and go out and ask around. If I'm lying, then you can accuse me.”

After giving them a good explanation and giving them a few taels of silver, they were finally able to calm them down.

After sending these people back to their rooms, Gu Baijiang decided to leave his family alone. He didn't want to pretend anymore and slapped Gu Kaichen to the ground, saying, "You idiot, you're good for nothing but causing trouble."

"Father, what gives you the right to say that about me? How am I so incompetent and good at nothing?"
"You left me to suffer in Lingnan while you enjoy wealth and luxury here. Am I still your son?" Gu Kaichen knew it was time to settle accounts and immediately retaliated.

“I wish you weren’t my son,” Gu Baijiang said bitterly. “You actually went gambling in Lingnan. Otherwise, with all the money I left you, you could have lived comfortably for half a year while we came to pick you up.”

But it's only been a short time, and you've ruined everything. How dare you tell me this?
"It's fine if you come on your own, but why did you bring them along?"

"Father, that's not reasonable of you. Why did they come? Don't you know? Wasn't it all because you agreed to their request?"

Xu Yulan was so frightened that she dared not speak. When her father-in-law looked over, she trembled, her legs went weak, and she knelt down.

"Mr. Xu, you speak."

Seeing that there was no way to escape, Xu Yulan could only tell Gu Kaichen about the stupid things he had done before.

Gu Baijiang and Gu Kaiping now both feel that Xu Shuanghong had been holding back some of what she said before; that bastard has really ruined everything.

"So you owed a huge sum of money, and because you couldn't pay it back, you secretly ran away?"

Do you really think you can run away from the temple while the monk is still there?

Even if those who run gambling dens don't come all the way to the capital to collect debts, they certainly have ways to deal with them.

Just as he was thinking this, the butler came from outside and announced, "Master Gu, there are guests visiting at the door."

"who is it?"

"We're here to see Young Master Gu..."

For some reason, the Gu family members in the room could detect the gloating in the housekeeper's tone.

Gu Kaichen was completely confused. He had just arrived, so who would be looking for him?
"Is there a mistake? I'm here to see my older brother."

"That shouldn't be the case. He specifically asked to see Master Gu."

Since the person had come to their door, it wasn't a solution to not go out to see them. So the whole family went out together to see who it was.

Gu Kaichen looked blank. "Who are you?"

Three men arrived, dressed in short-sleeved clothing, with knives tucked into their waistbands.

He was certain he didn't recognize these people, and his back straightened involuntarily.

“You must be Master Gu,” Lu Daniu said, looking Gu Kaichen up and down. When the other party nodded, he immediately said with a stern face, “We’re here to collect a debt. You may not recognize me, but you definitely know my cousin Fang Dayong. He’s sent us a message by carrier pigeon. It’s time for you to settle the debt you owe our gambling house.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Kaichen felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He had already come all the way to the capital, and they were still chasing after him for the debt… (End of Chapter)
