The carriage swayed and rocked along the way, and they were unaware that as soon as they left, Hu Wan'er began to exercise her rights as a wife and properly discipline her disobedient concubine.

At that moment, they were chatting and laughing, discussing how to embellish the story and tell their husbands about the interesting events of their trip when they got back.

Anyway, Mrs. Lin's actions today were truly gratifying and gave them a lot of inspiration.

It turns out that the inner quarters can be managed in this way. Some people started to apply this knowledge to other situations, thinking about how to deal with those arrogant women in the inner quarters.

Madam Qian sighed, "Now Zhang County will never be quiet again."

"If they won't stop, they should be dealt with properly. Otherwise, these men won't know who the real mistress of the house is."

Bai Suihe sighed once again, noting that the folk customs in Lingnan were different from those in the capital.

Perhaps it's because there are relatively few pedantic scholars here, who haven't brought the bad habits of the capital here. In addition, the population here is dwindling, so women here can also show their faces in public and have more say than women in places like the capital.

Now she hopes that those powerful families who have come here after hearing the news will not bring their bad habits with them, so she is quite optimistic that these women can do a good job of rectifying the social atmosphere.

“Yes, aren’t they the ones who love to talk about rules? Let’s lay out the rules for them one by one. I’ll also buy a law book to study later. These people can’t possibly challenge the laws established by the late emperor.”

The group chatted and laughed, and the journey back was much smoother, feeling even faster than the way they had come.

As soon as they entered the city, everyone greeted each other and went home. Bai Suihe and Gu Xingyang had just stepped into their home when they saw Gu Kaiyuan and Granny Pang standing there waiting.

"You're all back," Bai Suihe said, handing the child to Gu Kaiyuan, who was already chatting with his daughter.

With this informant around, Gu Kaiyuan would immediately know what happened to them.

"Madam, we've received some good things today," Granny Pang said with a beaming smile, clearly pleased with her haul.

Bai Suihe immediately perked up. Since their pharmacy started collecting medicines, they had only received common ones, and there were very few special kinds of medicines.

"where?"

"I put it in the medicine room, let's go take a look."

Bai Suihe didn't waste a moment and left directly with Granny Pang. Gu Kaiyuan shook his head as he watched, and said to Gu Xingyang, "You've grown up, you should learn from your mother. Look at how serious you are, you didn't even look at me properly. You'll probably become a great doctor in the future."

"Daddy, you're jealous." Gu Xingyang clapped her hands. "You're probably being sarcastic. If I were studying hard too, I should have left with Mommy by now, and you'd be enjoying your loneliness, right?"

Gu Kaiyuan couldn't help but reach out and pinch her little nose. "You little ingrate, are you mocking your father?"

“I’m just stating the facts,” Gu Xingyang waved her little hand, trying to slap his hand away. “Just because I’m small doesn’t mean I don’t have human rights. You and Mother love to hit me. That kind of behavior is wrong and needs to be changed.”

"Fine, fine, you and your mother always have a point," Gu Kaiyuan let go of her hand. "A little kid like you has so many demands."

"Do you want to go and learn their skills? I'll take you there."

Gu Xingyang yawned, "I won't go today. Although I fell asleep in the swaying carriage, I didn't sleep very soundly. I'll play with Daddy after I wake up."

Gu Kaiyuan, “…” What do you mean, “You play with me”? This kid really knows how to say the opposite of what he means.

"Father, how did things go?" This concerned her little money. "Don't worry, it's all arranged. Father will take you to see the excitement." Gu Kaiyuan saw through her thoughts at a glance. He wondered who this child took after, why she loved watching excitement so much.

Just as he carried the child into the room and was about to let him rest, Song He sent someone to report that a letter had arrived!

Gu Kaiyuan could only carry the child to the front yard and ask, "Where did this letter come from?"

“From the capital,” Song He quickly handed over the letter, “it’s from Manager Mu. It was sent along with a box of books and account books.”

Gu Kaiyuan told him to move the things to the study before sending the others away.

Gu Xingyang refused to go back to rest and insisted on staying by his side. Gu Kaiyuan had no choice but to put her on the soft couch next to him and start reading the letter.

There were some obscure words and their unique way of writing letters. Without saying a word, Gu Kaiyuan opened the book box and quickly found the clues.

"Father, what does this letter say?" Gu Xingyang was really curious.

"The people that Manager Mu arranged to be stationed at the Three Emperors' Mansion have successfully reached Gu Antong's side."

This is good news. Now that he has arranged for people to be involved, he has new ideas.

Previously, Gu Kaiyuan simply had people monitor Gu Antong's every move, but now, he doesn't think that way anymore.

"Father, what are you trying to do?" Gu Xingyang blinked innocently. "You're not planning to send people to protect Gu Antong again, are you?"

Gu Kaiyuan gave her an unseemly glare. This daughter of his knew how to hit the nail on the head. "Don't worry, your father isn't that kind."

Gu Antong would never allow her to grow up. The letter also mentioned that she had already established herself in the Third Prince's residence and was starting to offer him advice and strategies; she'd really become quite capable.

Gu Xingyang said, "Father, you know that Gu Antong is quite clever. Wasn't she the same in her previous life?"

With that mind of his, he's come up with so many heinous and wicked ideas. If you let him continue growing up like this, our family will be in grave danger.

"Of course I know that. The only reason we kept her around was to use her to take the Gu family away. Now that she has fulfilled her mission, it's time to put an end to it."

"Don't worry about these things, you're just a kid. Your mother and I will handle it."

Gu Xingyang giggled, "Father, even if I don't care, I know what you're going to do. But what kind of medicine do you and Mother need? Can you tell me?"

"We still need to discuss these things carefully." After all, this was Bai Suihe's enemy, and he wouldn't make a conclusion easily.

Who knows if the lady wanted to give the other party a quick death or just vent her anger? He listened to whatever she wanted.
Gu Xingyang was muttering something, and Gu Kaiyuan didn't hear her clearly at first. When he asked her again, the little one had actually fallen asleep instantly, leaving her father speechless and helpless.

By the time Bai Suihe came out of the pharmacy, the moon was already high in the sky!

But when she heard that it was to prepare some nice things for Gu Antong, she was caught in a dilemma.

She had quite a few bottles and jars, and none of them seemed worthy of Gu Antong.

After all, in her previous life, she and her daughter perished because of Gu Antong, and this karmic debt still needed to be settled. (End of Chapter)
