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

Liu Yun's body went limp, and she had indeed come because of this matter again.

"What exactly happened to her? Could it be that His Highness the Third Prince can no longer afford to support her?"

I've never seen such a clueless person. A married daughter not only doesn't accept things brought into the house, but also tries to take things out.

“Everything in the mansion requires money to bribe,” Caihua thought bitterly. The Third Prince looked glamorous on the outside, but who knew he was so poor inside.

I heard that each household in the backyard receives subsidies from their own dowry, and they can't expect anything except for three meals a day.

The women in the backyard were always vying for attention, and the young lady only brought a little silver and a few clothes with her. Even the fabric in her dowry was just some cotton cloth to make up the difference.

Because they only wore the same few outfits all day, they attracted a lot of ridicule.

Miss had no choice but to send her to the Gu family to ask for the money. The silver she brought back last time was enough to buy two sets of clothes and two sets of jewelry. But the Princess Consort's birthday was coming up, so she had notified all the households in the mansion in advance that they should prepare some gifts.

"Well, I don't have any money to spare right now," Liu Yun said, not wanting to say anything unpleasant to offend this girl who had married into a high-ranking family. In case the Third Prince succeeded in the future, she would become a noblewoman in the palace.

"Madam, please think of a way. Miss is having a hard time in the manor. You don't know how hard it is for her to eat something hot in the backyard. She has to pay money for it."

We dare not hope for such things; we will eat whatever the main kitchen sends. However, the social interactions within this household are unavoidable.

Caihua insisted on bringing the money back today, otherwise she would not only be unable to complete her task, but she and the other maids would also be implicated and lose face in the mansion.

“What kind of karma did we create?” Liu Yun said resolutely. “You wait here, I’ll go find the old man.”

She doesn't have any money here, but the old man certainly does.

Without noticing Caihua's shifty eyes, he hurriedly ran out.

Gu Baijiang was speechless in the face of his eldest daughter-in-law who barged in, and he didn't even bother to ask her where she learned her manners.

“Father,” Liu Yun bowed respectfully.

"Don't say anything more. I don't have any money here. Let An Tong live a good life in the backyard and stop thinking about those things all day long. Our family's wealth is something she can't compare to."

Liu Yun was somewhat shocked. She hadn't even said a word yet, so how did her father-in-law know why she had come?

“She had contacted me several times before she came to you,” Gu Baijiang put down his pen. He used to be quite skilled at drawing, and lately he had been taking on jobs from the bookstore to draw illustrations.

Now that we've been interrupted, it seems the painting can't be finished. Let's not waste this piece of paper. "I've given them money a few times, but it's a bottomless pit. With our current wealth, we can't possibly fill it."

They thought that sending their granddaughter to the Third Prince's residence would bind the two sides together, but Gu Antong was far too useless. Apart from being favored for the first few days after entering the residence, she did not receive any special treatment afterward.

Not only can't they help their family, but now they have to subsidize them.

If his entire warehouse of silver hadn't been lost, it might be worth investing in.

But now the entire Gu family is penniless, and he has to find ways to make money, so how can he afford to support them?

The eldest daughter-in-law is really foolish. Doesn't she know what's been going on at home lately? She even dared to barge into her own study. "I really didn't know," Liu Yun said, unaware of the situation. "But Caihua is waiting there now, what should we do?"

After all, she was her own daughter, so Liu Yun wanted to help her if she could.

It's all this old man's fault. He only lets her manage the household and gives her some daily expenses. Otherwise, she wouldn't be here having to put up with his attitude.

"What can we do? Explain the current situation at home to them. We really can't afford any money right now. Tell An Tong to go directly to the Third Prince if she has any difficulties. His Highness is a prince after all, and he won't let her ask her family for help."

Liu Yun said, "Father, are you leaving An Tong no way out?" If His Highness the Third Prince heard this, how could An Tong possibly fare well?
"How could I not leave her a way out?" After all, she was his own granddaughter, and of course he hoped for the best. Now that he thought about it, Xu Huizhen's death was really untimely. If she were alive, she wouldn't need him, her father-in-law, to remind her of these things.

As for Xu Shuanghong, he dared not count on her; it would be good enough if she didn't cause trouble.

"She is now a concubine of the Third Prince. Her most important task now is to give birth to an heir for the Third Prince. There is no need for her to compare herself with the other women in the inner palace. They are all daughters from aristocratic families. What do they have to compare with?"

Liu Yun also knew that even before the Gu family was punished, they couldn't compare to them in terms of wealth.

She also felt that her daughter's most urgent task was to give birth as soon as possible, but she, as the mother, had already said what she needed to say.

"Tell that girl to go back and give her a report. If she has any difficulties, she should try to find the Third Prince directly. She is the Third Prince's person, and for the sake of appearances, the Third Prince cannot mistreat her."

Men sometimes like women to depend on them. If you don't tell them what difficulties you're facing, how will they know what you're trying to do?
The Third Prince is so busy, he doesn't have time to play those guessing games with her.

Gu Baijiang's expression became somewhat uneasy as he spoke. If he continued, would he be teaching his good-for-nothing granddaughter how to seduce the Third Prince?

Looking at her eldest daughter-in-law with displeasure, she said, "Alright, these are things you, as her mother, should be teaching her. Go back and think about it carefully. Anyway, the Gu family can't afford to spend any money right now."

"But to just let her go empty-handed..."

“If you can’t bear it, then find a way to help her. Given the situation, the Gu family can’t afford to support her.”

Liu Yun returned to her courtyard in a daze, only to see Xu Yulan holding Caiyun's hand and saying something affectionately.

Seeing her enter, Xu Yulan approached her with a fawning expression, "Sister-in-law, you're finally back! This is our concubine's head maid, how could you neglect her?"

Liu Yun, "How come you have time to come here?"

She's been running around every day these past few days. I heard she went back to her parents' home. Doesn't she remember all the trouble her family caused before? She really can't tell the difference between her own family and her own.

"Look at what you're saying, sister-in-law. I would like to come and bother you often, but you're so busy that you hardly have time to rest. It's rare to run into you in such a small courtyard."

Seeing that you have guests, I'll stay here and serve them to you.

As Xu Yulan spoke, her eyes darted around, "Let me see what good things our concubine gave to my sister-in-law."

Even Caihua, who had been fawned over before, felt a little uncomfortable. She had come to pick up something, not to give anything away.
"No, Tong'er just came back to ask me something. I still have things to take care of, so I won't keep my second sister-in-law any longer."

This blatant attempt to kick her out was too much for even the thick-skinned Xu Yulan to bear. (End of Chapter)
