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

Madam Bai was very pleased with the brothers' actions, and she didn't mind bringing it up now. Anyway, that day would come sooner or later, so it was better to clarify things sooner rather than later. "Alright, this is my decision."

I prepared some dowry for your eldest sister before, but she had a hard life and fell into a wolf's den.

At this point, she glanced sideways at Bai Jingwen. He was the one who made the decision about his daughter's marriage. Fortunately, his son-in-law's recent performance had been quite commendable; otherwise, no one would have had a good time.

Bai Jingwen knew that this woman was very vengeful.

Ever since the Gu family was convicted, they've been acting strangely and sarcastically several times. If it weren't for the understanding women in the backyard, life would be unbearable.

At that time, the Gu family was at its peak, and he never expected Gu Baijiang to be so useless. He only had one legitimate daughter, so how could he possibly harm her?

Fortunately, my daughter is alright, otherwise I was afraid that this woman would have a falling out with me.

What does it mean to have fallen into a wolf's den? Before, the way she looked at her son-in-law was full of love; she seemed very satisfied.

"Your eldest sister can't rely on anyone else. In the future, she can only rely on you two brothers. Although I have given her some subsidies in private, it is only a little over ten thousand taels of silver." Madam Bai took this opportunity to bring up the topic. Although her two sons would not have any objections to his eldest sister, who knows what kind of person their future daughter-in-law will be.

“Mother, don’t say anymore. Originally, most of your dowry should have gone to my eldest sister. You can decide, and we can all accept it.” Bai Jianbei glanced at his eldest brother. “Anyway, I have enough money. Why don’t we give it all to my sister?”

Although this decision was somewhat unfair to her brother, he also felt sorry for his sister.

"No need for that. I already told you a long time ago that the three of you would split it equally."

When your eldest sister got married, I brought her some of the gifts. Luckily, I didn't let her take them all, otherwise, who knows who would have benefited.

The rest, I'll clear out later and you can handle it yourselves.

This time, the daughter even brought out a prescription, and both brothers benefited greatly. In fact, the daughter was the one who suffered a loss.

The mother and her two sons' polite refusals left Bai's illegitimate sons feeling resentful. At the same time, they were also secretly blaming themselves for not being born into the womb of their legal mother, who would have been able to give them so much more.

However, thinking about those illegitimate children who are not recognized outside the family, and how they might receive even less compared to their open and aboveboard division of the family property, he felt a little more at ease. At least they were listed in the family genealogy, and if anything happened in the future, the direct line wouldn't ignore them.

They felt a little more at ease this time, as they hadn't heard their stepmother mention it at all.

However, they have an even more important matter to discuss now: they do not agree to leave some of their assets to be divided equally later.

Who knows if other children will be born in the future, but even if they are, they won't allow it.

Having figured this out, they hinted to their birth mothers. These women weren't fools; they weren't about to let their prize slip away. So they all agreed to give everyone a score first, and they would allocate a portion of the money for the children's future.

Once their wealth is all in their pockets, it won't be so easy to get them to give it back.

Bai Jingwen wanted to keep some of his assets with him; with his abilities, they would definitely double in value.

But this time, no one was willing to cooperate with him. Even his aunt, who used to be gentle and tender, showed an iron will this time and refused to agree no matter what.

As for his wife, she was there enjoying the show while holding her tea, and to save face, he gritted his teeth and accepted it.

The division of the family property was quickly completed. Afterwards, Bai Jingwen finally remembered the children who had been left behind. In the end, he could only sigh. Anyway, he had already given them enough to survive. His mother and two younger brothers wrote about this in a letter, which made Bai Suihe feel relieved.

Several favored concubine daughters, who had often made themselves uncomfortable in private before, felt much better after seeing this.

What good is it if they are favored again? Their birth has already determined everything.

"This is truly remarkable; the division of the family hasn't caused any trouble," Gu Kaiyuan remarked after reading several letters.

He had heard plenty of stories about the farces that occurred when dividing family property. The Bai family had such a large business, yet the distribution was so uneven. It was truly remarkable that they were able to transition peacefully.

"What's there to make a fuss about? From the moment the Bai family children are born, they learn to recite the family rules as soon as they learn to speak. Some things are ingrained in their bones. If they want to make a fuss, they'll have to see if they have a reason."

If the inheritance were divided after my father's death, making a scene might get them a larger share. But now, my parents are still in charge. Even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare to show their faces; otherwise, they'd only be driven out. The Bai family isn't short of offspring.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Then we'll divide up our assets in advance later."

Bai Suihe rolled her eyes at him, "We only have one daughter, why would we need to divide her up?"

Gu Kaiyuan took the opportunity to get closer and said, "Madam, we only have one child, Bao Bao. She's too lonely. If she gets bullied in the future, there will be no one to stand up for her."

Bai Suihe turned around and looked at him coldly, "Is this sexism?"

“You can’t talk nonsense,” Gu Kaiyuan quickly looked in his daughter’s direction and found her sleeping soundly. He said in a low voice, “No matter how many children you have, the baby is the most important.”

It would be too lonely for her to be alone. We can't wait until we're old and gone, and she has no one to talk to or support her.

"There's no rush," Bai Suihe said. Although she had regained her memories from her previous life, she was still uneasy about becoming a real husband and wife with Gu Kaiyuan again all at once.

Now, faced with this issue of having offspring, she's thinking of escaping it for now.

Gu Kaiyuan moved closer without making a sound. "There's no rush. What we're discussing now is how to divide the inheritance among the children first. I think your father-in-law's family has a good rule. We can write it into the family rules."

"What? You want to be like my dad and fill the whole backyard with them?"

Gu Kaiyuan recalled the day he arrived, when the entire backyard was filled with beautiful women. His house couldn't even accommodate so many people, and he had to book an inn to stay. He was so frightened that he quickly shook his head and said, "I wouldn't dare. You are enough for me."

When we got married, I told you that we would be together for life.

Bai Suihe blinked, "That's what your aunt, the Gu family, said when they came to propose marriage. And that's your family's custom, but your second brother has already taken a concubine, and your father has also kept a mistress..."

Gu Kaiyuan felt utterly wronged. He had already severed ties with the Gu family, yet they still managed to plant a landmine for him.

"They are them, and I am me. I will not have any concubines or mistresses."

If I break this oath, I will leave with nothing. I can write all of this down for you in black and white…

Gu Kaiyuan was going to great lengths to restore their marital relationship... (End of Chapter)
