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

The way those men looked away said it all.

Madam Lin nodded with a cold smile, "It really is a dog that bites. It seems it needs some discipline."

The two sisters-in-law of the Hu family watched this scene angrily. If it weren't for some ladies coming to watch the commotion, their situation today would have been very difficult.

These burly men have trapped them here, not only to ruin the sister-in-law's reputation, but also to destroy the Hu family. They are truly vicious.

"This brave man, may I ask whose household you are?" Madam Lin stepped down from the carriage, but she was still recovering from a serious illness. She almost stumbled and fell as soon as she stood up, but the eldest son of the Lin family was quick-witted and helped her up.

"My wife's surname is Bai." If he said her surname was Gu, this lady probably wouldn't be the right person, so Lin Wei directly gave her the name Bai.

“So it’s Madam Gu,” Madam Lin said with a slight bow. “Thank you for today. I will definitely visit you another day to express my gratitude.”

"Madam Lin, you're too kind. I'm only doing this for my master today, since these people are blocking her way."

Lin Weijian pointed at the other party, unable to bow properly, and could only nod slightly. He then turned and pointed at the men, "Now that you've thought it through, what should you do next?"

"We'll clear the way right away," the man with the sword pointed at him said, his face turning pale with fright. The chill emanating from the sword had seeped into his bones through his skin. He was afraid that if he hesitated any longer, the other man might draw blood.

"Boss, but..."

"But what? Get the car away right now." These fools didn't even realize the situation. The other side had a lot of people and weapons. Were they going to risk their lives to stop them?

The other party only gave them a few taels of silver; it wasn't enough to make them risk their lives.

After hearing this, the men gritted their teeth and pulled the cart backward.

Lin Wei didn't care that they were moving so slowly. He turned his sword and swung it directly at a tree by the roadside. Before the crowd could understand what he meant by this action, a tree as thick as a thigh fell down with a bang.

The men immediately sprang into action, practically performing a quick turn on the spot before urging the carriage to leave.

"Thank you very much, brave man," Madam Lin said, now feeling more confident. "I will definitely pay a visit to Madam Gu later."

Lin Wei couldn't make the decision for his master, so he cupped his hands in greeting and stepped aside. The carriage sped along without any further obstruction this time.

Upon hearing Lin Wei's account, Bai Suihe and the others immediately understood. It was either Master Lin or that pretty widow who did it. If it were just Madam Lin and the others who came back on their own, who knows what might have happened in between.

"This shouldn't be Master Lin, right? Why are these his wife and children?" Madam Li muttered to herself. "And Young Master Lin is about to go down in the arena, so this is also the eldest grandson of the Lin family..."

Even without her analysis, everyone could guess that it was probably still that pretty widow.

She just didn't expect the other party to be so bold. She hasn't even entered the field yet, but she dares to act like this. Or is she just fearless?

“This woman’s courage was given to her by a man,” Madam Qian sneered. “That Master Lin is not innocent either. He may not be the instigator, but he is the one who brought this on.”

Bai Suihe asked curiously, "I forgot to ask, what does this Master Lin look like?"

Is he some kind of reincarnation of Pan An? Or is he really going to put on this grand show just because he owns two estates?
"Heh," Madam Jiang sneered, "Do you know what 'short and ugly' means? That's what describes Master Lin."

The only one who had run into Madam Jiang was that she lived close to their home. Upon hearing this, all three wives found it quite unbelievable.

Bai Suihe: "Then what are they arguing about?"

Madam Jiang said, "What can we fight for? All we're fighting for are those two estates and a widow. It'll be very difficult for her to remarry well. I reckon that widow isn't very good-looking either, otherwise she wouldn't have taken a fancy to Master Lin."

But in her heart she thought to herself, Bai Suihe is indeed the eldest daughter of the Bai family, she doesn't even care about a manor.

If Bai Suihe knew his thoughts, she would cry foul. During this period, he had bought so many estates, the most expensive of which was only a few hundred taels. Because of the terrain here, there are no large tracts of farmland, so no matter how big an estate is, it can only be a few dozen or a hundred acres at most.

She forgot that in this dynasty, it was common for people to sell their children just to have something to eat.

With no obstacles on the road ahead, they soon arrived at Linjiazhuang.

This is a combination of two villages, which together occupy about 90% of the land.

In this remote place, Master Lin, a local tycoon, wields considerable influence.

The arrival of so many horse-drawn carriages caused the people who were busy in the fields to stop.

They were very curious: Who are the distinguished guests who have come to your house today? Why are there so many horse-drawn carriages?
Most of them are villagers from two villages. Besides their own land, most of them rent land from the Lin family.

"Who are these people who came today? Why are there so many carriages?"

"Don't you think the first car looks familiar? It looks like the one Mrs. Lin often uses."

"Mrs. Lin is back? Good heavens, this is going to be interesting."

"There's a good show, shall we go see it?"

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do. We're just nobody, and even if we can't stand it, we don't dare to offend anyone."

However, it seems Madam Lin has gathered many helpers. Even if Widow Ma is incredibly powerful, can she possibly fight off so many people alone?

"So what? She has the biggest backer. Look at Master Lin now, he's completely infatuated with her. No matter how powerful Madam Lin is, can she stand up to her husband?"

Now these people lost their will to work and started huddling together whispering.

The carriages stopped. No matter how grand the Lin family mansion was, it couldn't accommodate more than a dozen carriages at the same time. Everyone stopped at a distance and began to walk around and tour the small estate.

Madam Lin did not rush into the mansion. Instead, she waited until they arrived outside the Lin residence and then gracefully bowed to them, saying, "I am grateful for your company today. Today is the auspicious day for my master to take a concubine. I hope you ladies will join me in the festivities."

The ladies who had originally come to watch the spectacle with brazen enthusiasm now had their eyes light up. This was great! They had been invited, so they could come more openly.

Bai Suihe, holding the already awake Gu Xingyang, stood out in the crowd.

This is the only person who brought their whole family to watch the spectacle; they really have a big heart.

However, many of the ladies here knew each other and waved kindly to Gu Xingyang, who was curiously looking around. Thinking about the scene that was about to be seen, they decided to feast their eyes on the child first.

Madam Lin did not recognize Bai Suihe, but she recognized Lin Wei. At this moment, he was flanking her with another strong man, so he was easy to spot.

Chao Bai Suihe nodded, then took a deep breath, turned around, and led her three sons into the mansion. (End of Chapter)
