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

Gu Antong looked at her with annoyance. How could there be such a dull person?

It seems that changing the maid is an urgent matter. Let's wait for Caihua to come back and see what Mother says.

The person in charge of the kitchen is the Third Prince's wife's person. Apart from getting paid to do things, it's impossible for her to speak based on her status.

She could only swallow her anger today. It was just a lighter diet, right? She could treat it as a way to lose weight.

Looking down at her voluptuous figure, she was quite proud of it, but she could feel it growing every day. If this continued, she didn't know if the Third Prince would still like her voluptuous appearance.

Thinking about it, I instantly lost my appetite, so I simply waved my hand and said, "Forget it, I don't have much of an appetite today. I'll just eat some fruit later. You can take these and share them."

Caili bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that she agreed without even trying to dissuade her, Gu Antong felt even more disheartened. Keeping such a girl by her side would not only fail to be an asset, but her foolishness might even bring her trouble.

"Caili, have you been following my Third Prince's residence and have any complaints?" Otherwise, how could such a vibrant maid be turned into this? I'm afraid the situation is not as simple as it appears.

“This servant dares not,” Caili said respectfully. “It is already a great blessing for this servant to be able to serve by Your Highness’s side.”

However, there are many rules in this household, and I am rather foolish. I am afraid that I might break some rule and bring trouble upon my master.

"At least you have some self-awareness," Gu Antong said, not bothering to delve deeper. Whether she was genuinely stupid or pretending, such a person couldn't be kept around.

Fortunately, Caihua returned shortly afterward, even bringing her her favorite pastries.

Look at the difference! Caili shouldn't blame herself for making the choice as the master.

"Madam said she would help keep an eye out." Caihua finished explaining all the details of this trip before taking things out one by one.

"These were all ordered to be purchased by Your Highness. Please check if there are any errors or omissions."

"No need to look, I trust you to handle things," Gu Antong glanced at it. If you can't even do this little thing well, she wouldn't dare to use you.

What did my mother say?

"Madam said she would try to find a solution, but there's no immediate plan for the right person. Please bear with me for a while, Your Majesty."

"Can't you even handle this little thing?" Gu Antong said irritably. "Those people in the main courtyard are watching us every day. I can't keep stupid people around me anymore."

"How about this? Let Caili go back to her home first."

"What excuse should we use?" Gu Antong felt it was a pity. It wouldn't matter if we were short one person to serve us; we could just make do with the servants from the manor for now.

During this period, she was the most popular person in the mansion, and some people had already pledged their loyalty to her. If she could win over some people's hearts at this time, it would be good.

However, to send someone out of the mansion so hastily, a suitable reason must be given.

"When I returned, I heard that Master Gu had been given an important position by the Third Prince and was to be sent out. The Gu family must be in a lot of turmoil right now. Let's send Caili back to help out for a while."

"That works too. Maybe Mother will come up with a new idea in the next few days. If all else fails, we can just let her stay sick outside."

The master and servant quickly came up with a plan: if it wouldn't work today, they would send the person out first thing tomorrow morning. After eating a few more pieces of cake, Gu Antong sent someone away to have their meal. Once she was alone in the room, she sat in front of the mirror.

Her face is now rounder, making her look fair and delicate. If you gently pinch her face, two finger marks will immediately appear.

She couldn't help but frown. Last night, His Highness became increasingly rough with his hands. Was this also the reason?
She was actually a little panicked, feeling that something was wrong. But when she took her pulse yesterday, the imperial physician said she was healthy. Could it be because she had been eating too much lately?
……

Gu Baijiang, who was visiting a friend, brought good news during dinner.

Although Gu Kaiping returned to Lingnan this time, he went with the Third Prince's trusted advisors, hoping to win over the forces there. If he did well, it would be a great achievement.

If she was previously uncomfortable because of her low position, now she's just excited.

The fact that the Gu family is included in such an important matter shows that the Third Prince hasn't forgotten them.

"When you get there, you must listen to Lord He. Do whatever he tells you to do. The Third Prince has always valued this man and he is one of his confidants. You must not offend him," Gu Baijiang instructed.

Gu Kaiping: "I know, Dad. You know I'm the kind of person who doesn't cause trouble. I'm always working hard like an old ox wherever I go."

Gu Baijiang clearly didn't take his words seriously. "Even if you want to accept some benefits, remember to be mindful of the limits."

Unlike your father, I can't leave myself a way out. Don't get yourself into trouble, and don't give anyone leverage over you.

Just focus on your work. When you return to court in the future, will those things still be lacking for you?

Gu Kaiping, "But at home..."

"You don't need to worry about things at home. Just live well on your salary and do your job well, that's enough."

Gu Baijiang was a little worried and wanted to accompany him, but he had other matters to attend to in the capital. "Let Liu go with you this time. You'll have someone to take care of you."

"Father, that's not necessary. There are so many things to do at home, and we can't do without her." Gu Kaiping glanced at Xu Shuanghong. If they really left the backyard to this person, they would probably feel like guests when they came home next time.

Gu Baijiang thought about it and realized it made sense. Gu Antong still needed Liu Yun to make connections, and now that the Marquis's mansion had also shown some goodwill, they had to maintain this relationship.

But since he was his own son, after dinner he took him to the study and asked, "It's not a good idea for you to go alone without anyone to take care of you. Do you have any ideas?"

The unspoken understanding between men came into play at this moment. Gu Kaiping asked, "Father, you don't mind taking a concubine?"

"What's there to mind? Anyway, the rules have already been broken by that bastard second brother. We can pick them back up in a few years."

What do you think of Fan Meibao?

Gu Kaiping stood up in fright. "Dad, you're not joking, are you? I have no feelings for Fan Meibao. He's my second brother's man."

Gu Baijiang frowned. "Why are you making such a fuss? I must have remembered wrong. That's Fan Meilin."

Gu Kaiping was truly speechless. His father could even get this wrong, which showed that he didn't really care about Xu Shuanghong and her daughter.

"I don't think it's suitable," Gu Kaiping genuinely didn't like Fan Meilin. Besides not liking her, he also didn't want any further entanglement with Xu Shuanghong. (End of Chapter)
