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

After discussing it, the group decided that it was better to do this sooner rather than later. Madam Lin was already feeling resentful, and it would be beneficial for her health to vent her anger sooner rather than later.

However, apart from Madam Jiang, none of the others had any personal relationship with Madam Lin, so this matter could only be handled by her.

The group was more concerned about this matter than their own family affairs. They didn't even think about going home, grabbing a quick bite outside while waiting for news from Madam Jiang.

As expected, Madam Jiang returned quickly. Seeing her excited face, everyone knew that the matter had been settled.

"You don't know, as soon as I entered the Lin family, I felt the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Her daughters were just wiping away tears. I heard that she had sent someone to the countryside to deliver a message to Master Lin, but he said he was busy and would come back in a few days. He only told the children to invite a doctor themselves."

When I saw Mrs. Lin, she was like a completely different person; her face was deathly pale, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts.

All she did was cry and complain about her miserable life. I almost wanted to just walk away.

Sigh, but I still have a soft heart. Considering that we are both women and she is the legal wife, I can't let her suffer this loss. So I patiently told her that we would think of a solution for her.

She hesitated at first, so I pointed at her children and questioned her: "You've backed down this time, but have you thought about your children?"
It's clearly family property, are you thinking of letting it fall into the wrong hands in the future?

This man has changed his mind and is shameless enough, but for the sake of the children, he should at least hold onto his last shred of decency.

Seeing her come in, Bai Suihe's mouth never stopped. She quickly and considerately poured her a cup of tea. Madam Jiang smiled gratefully at her, downed the tea in one gulp, and felt refreshed. "So I analyzed the pros and cons for her, telling her not to know that if we don't seize the opportunity to control that woman's lifeline now, the entire Lin family will be slowly devoured. Once she gives birth to another child, we can expect Master Lin to favor his concubine and abandon his wife."

She added with a hint of smugness, "When Madam Lin heard this, the fierce glint in her eyes terrified me. Sure enough, we women have nothing to fear when it comes to our children."

"And then what? She said she wouldn't go anytime?" It was Madam Qian who asked this question, and Bai Suihe and the others also looked on expectantly.

Madam Jiang said, "When I came out, she had already struggled to get up and asked her eldest son to call her family over. Then her son will go back to the village tomorrow and inform the Lin family head that tomorrow is an auspicious day for her husband to take a concubine."

“That’s great news! We should go and offer our congratulations.” Madam Li came up with a flimsy excuse. “Madam Lin used to buy things from my rouge shop. She’s a very important guest of mine, and we need to maintain this relationship.”

“Oh, that makes sense. The Lin family used to sell their grain to our grain shop,” Madam Qian added. “We’re waiting to harvest the grain this year, so I need to build a good relationship with Madam Lin and prepare a congratulatory gift.”

Bai Suihe, "...What kind of reason should I give?"

I wonder if Madam Lin ever went to the cloth shop to buy anything; where did this friendship come from?

"Oh, you're like a sister to us. Since you're new here, of course we have to show you around and help you make more friends," Mrs. Qian said thoughtfully, finding a good reason for her.

The group had already made all the reservations while they were talking, and they also agreed to go out together tomorrow.

Madam Jiang lives close to the Lin family, so she can inform them immediately of any news or disturbances.

The matter was settled, and the group of people had no desire to stay any longer, because they still had to inform other families. How could such a meaningful event be complete without the ladies' group?

Bai Suihe was still a little dazed when she got home, but it turned out that things had gone so smoothly.

But upon reflection, it's understandable. At this time of year, people have little entertainment and their favorite pastime is gossiping about everyone. This rare opportunity to be in the thick of things naturally fuels their enthusiasm. Moreover, those they know are all legally married women, so they're on the same side. This is a way of protecting their rights, and they'd love for the matter to escalate as much as possible, serving as a warning to men who like to cheat.

Gu Kaiyuan felt something was off. Bai Suihe had looked him up and down several times since he entered the room. His clothes were perfectly normal today. Could it be that he had gotten some dust on his face somewhere?
"Madam, is there something wrong with what I'm doing?"

Bai Suihe shook her head, finding her earlier thoughts somewhat amusing. If Gu Kaiyuan truly harbored ulterior motives, she certainly wouldn't have acted like Madam Lin, engaging in self-destructive behavior. She would have made him experience her methods and try all the medicines she had prescribed.

Gu Kaiyuan looked at the sky outside and suddenly felt a chill down his spine, but the weather hadn't changed.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about something. How's things going on your end?"

"I'm hosting a banquet at home the day after tomorrow and also letting people know that I need to get rid of the things I have on hand."

What about my father-in-law's estate and shops? Should we send a letter to inform him?

Although the Bai family left people here to manage the land, they couldn't make the decisions.

Bai Suihe: "No need for that, they don't dare to touch the Bai family for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Gu Kaiyuan stopped paying attention to the matter. Bai Suihe was right; his father-in-law had left people here, and the letter might have already been sent.

"How was your day? Did you go to see Madam Lin?"

Bai Suihe said, "After all, we're not very familiar with each other, so we felt it wasn't appropriate to visit so abruptly. We asked Madam Jiang to go in our place."

"The Lin family has a happy occasion tomorrow; we'll go and deliver our congratulatory gifts then."

Gu Kaiyuan was puzzled. Madam Lin was still ill, so why was she having a wedding?
Just as Bai Suihe was about to ask another question, she changed the subject and asked, "Did Ninth Master Gu cause any more trouble today?"

Gu Kaiyuan: "No, but all the conversations today were about their family."

Yesterday's incident caused quite a stir. Even though he managed to salvage the situation in the end, his reputation is still damaged.

Bai Suihe nodded. Both she and her husband knew that this was just the beginning.

There may be more people like them coming, and their methods may even be more despicable, so they need to get away as soon as possible before these people arrive.

☆

The next day arrived quickly. Just after breakfast, Bai Suihe was playing with Gu Xingyang when Granny Pang came in.

Seeing the lady teasing the young lady, she couldn't help but shake her head gently, "Madam, should we go to the pharmacy today?"

Bai Suihe felt a little ashamed. She had really forgotten about this matter these past two days because of gossip. However, there was still the most important part to attend to today, so she could only apologize and say, "Granny, I'm afraid it won't work today. I have an appointment with Madam Qian and the others." (End of Chapter)
