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

Chapter 45. House Confiscation
When we arrived at the main courtyard, we found that the couple were the last to arrive, but no one paid attention to them at the moment.

Xu Huizhen's face was pale, and she was making all kinds of guesses in her mind.

I don't know if it's a palace coup or if the master has brought disaster upon himself.

It is not a good thing for soldiers to surround the government office. Will they be punished?

"Have you sent someone out to notify Kaiping and Kaichen?" Xu Huizhen asked Liu Yun. Gu Baijiang definitely could not return home, and now the only people she could rely on were her two sons.

"There are soldiers guarding outside. No one is allowed to enter or leave." Liu Yun held Gu Antong's hand tightly. She had done this the first time, but she didn't expect the soldiers outside to be so ruthless.

"Why don't you give me some banknotes?" Xu Huizhen looked at her eldest daughter-in-law with disappointment. She was indeed born a concubine's daughter and was petty-minded.

"I gave it to him, but he refused to accept it," Liu Yun said, her hands trembling. "Mom, please think of a way to contact Dad."

Xu Huizhen, "...No one can get out, what can I do?"

Xu Yulan wiped her tears and said, "How could such a disaster happen on such a good day?"

Bai Suihe was even more curious about their nervousness and how Xu Huizhen and Gu Baijiang discussed the arrangement of the mistress last night.

But looking at the old lady's tired face, it seemed that she had stayed up all night again last night.

And the new Gu Mansion, will it be included in the search this time?
Bai Suihe was lost in thought. As the only male owner, Gu Kaiyuan couldn't let them continue like this. He sighed and reminded them, "Mother, sisters-in-law, let's prepare for the worst.

I have already told the kitchen to serve the food first, so everyone should fill their stomachs first.

If you really want to punish me, the imperial edict may be on the way."

This was very unpleasant to hear and very unlucky. If it were any other time, Xu Huizhen would definitely have scolded him, but now that the man had only this little son at home, she seemed to have grasped the backbone. "Yuan'er, you're out and about every day. Is there any way to solve this situation?"

Gu Kaiyuan was very unfamiliar with this name he hadn't heard for a long time. "Mother, I know nothing about official affairs. I only know that it is not a good thing for soldiers to surround the house. We should prepare for the worst.

What we need to do now is to comfort the people in the palace and take care of ourselves."

"What's the difference between saying it and not saying it?" Xu Yulan said angrily, "Just tell me, do you have any way to spread the news?"

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Second sister-in-law really thinks too highly of me. I only handle trivial matters. Aren't father and eldest brother the ones who make the decisions in our family?"

"You're just a piece of crap," Xu Yulan scolded without mercy, "You're a grown man, but you can't make any decisions."

Bai Suihe frowned, took a step forward, and blocked Gu Kaiyuan behind him, "Second sister-in-law, what you said is a bit too much. Mother still has an imperial decree. If she goes out to inquire, it will be better than us making a mess here.

Although my husband has no official title, how can you be more noble than us? Is it just like my second brother who has been taking exams for many years but still can't pass the exam to become a scholar?
At least my husband can take care of the household, which is much better than some freeloaders."

"you……"

"Enough, it's already this time and you're still arguing," Xu Huizhen didn't want to bother with their trivial matters now, but Bai Suihe just reminded her that she had an imperial edict on her, so how could those young generals dare to stop her?

He called the maids and old women to help him walk out. Seeing this, Liu Yun and her daughter hurried to follow.

Xu Yulan stomped her feet fiercely, glared at Bai Suihe, and hurried over with her maid.

Bai Suihe, "Should we go over and take a look?" Gu Kaiyuan, "It's useless. The emperor's order is useless, not to mention the second-rank imperial edict, even princesses and princes can't do anything about it."

Bai Suihe shrugged. She really didn't mean it. "I just wanted to find something for them to do. As for whether this idea succeeds or not, it's not my fault."

At this time, the food was served from the kitchen. Gu Kaiyuan helped Bai Suihe sit down, filled a bowl of soup for her, and placed her favorite dishes in front of her.

"Aren't we going to wait for them?" Bai Suihe asked after taking a sip of soup.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "They probably don't have the appetite to eat. You're pregnant, you can't go hungry."

Gu Kaiyuan began to eat with big mouthfuls, without any image at all.

By the time they both finished eating, Xu Huizhen and the others had not returned yet.

Seeing that most of the food on the table had been consumed by them, Bai Suihe had the dishes removed and a new portion served. As for whether they would eat it or not, he had no control over it.

Bai Suihe even asked the maids and servants who followed them to go to the kitchen and eat their fill first.

She didn't know whether the government would take care of these people's meals, so she made preparations first.

Gu Kaiyuan looked at the sky and knew that the time had come, almost here, so he supported Bai Suihe and slowly walked towards the front yard.

The timing was perfect. Xu Huizhen and Liu Yun were still arguing with the guards outside when a harsh voice came over, "The imperial edict has arrived..."

"The Emperor, by the Will of Heaven, declares that there is irrefutable evidence that Assistant Minister of War Gu Baijiang formed a clique for personal gain, embezzled grain, and accepted bribes.

The current emperor is merciful... and has pardoned the Gu family's death penalty. All their property will be confiscated, and all their slaves will be sold by the government. The entire Gu family will be exiled to Lingnan..."

As soon as the imperial edict was read, Xu Huizhen collapsed on the ground, completely losing her image.

Xu Yulan slapped her thigh and cried loudly, "What sin have I committed? This is simply a den of tigers and wolves..."

Liu Yun and Gu Antong hugged each other, their faces pale. Now they were no longer the wives of officials, and they could not even stay in Kyoto anymore.

Compared with them, Bai Suihe and Gu Kaiyuan's performances were quite eye-catching.

However, the father-in-law who was in charge of confiscating the property did not care about him at the moment and ordered the generals who followed him to start working.

The restless servants were also driven aside and someone registered them.

"Ladies of the Gu family, please take off all your jewelry. If you are discovered, don't blame us for being ruthless." At this time, an expressionless nanny, accompanied by several tall and strong old women, stood in front of them and stared at them coldly.

Bai Suihe cooperated very well, took off all the jewelry on her body, and opened her hands to cooperate with the body search. Gu Kaiyuan did the same.

The matron in charge was very pleased with their tact and her tone softened. "You two stay here for now. Someone will take you to the jail soon."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Huizhen and the others felt as if the sky had fallen. They didn't know whether their homes would be searched or they would be imprisoned. How would they live in the future?
Seeing that they were still standing there in a daze, the head nanny became impatient and waved her hand to let a few maids take action. If they found them struggling, they would pinch them a few times.

Gu Kaiyuan was afraid that the situation would be too awkward and that he would offend others, so he quickly advised, "Mother, you should just take it down yourself."
