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

What are these things on here?
Deer antler, wolfberry, prepared rehmannia root, deer penis, donkey penis, tiger penis...

Seeing the beginning of the list, you can tell how much effort the other party put in. Now, the only question is whether the third brother's body can handle the nourishment.

"Fourth Prince, how did you get all these good things?" the eldest prince Rong Rui asked mischievously. "You're not married yet, you can't follow others and learn bad habits."

“Big brother, I read all of these in books, and I paid a high price for them. I hope they will be useful to Third Brother,” Rong Ruibo added, whether out of genuine naiveté or sheer stupidity, “these are all for conditioning the body.”

"Hahaha,"

"Hahaha,"

The eldest prince and the second prince laughed unrestrainedly. Finally, the eldest prince suppressed his laughter and said, "Third prince, this is the fourth prince's good intention. You can't let him down. You must remember this kindness."

Rong Ruiyuan forced out the words through gritted teeth, "Thank you for the reminder, brother. I will definitely remember it."

The other young princes who had been brought along stood quietly at the back, listening to their older brothers talking back and forth.

Anyway, they are still young, so they can just watch what their older brothers do.

Since they had come specifically to see a doctor, Rong Ruiyuan naturally had to entertain them.

But when all the tea and pastries were served, they found that none of the people had touched them.

Rong Ruiyuan grinned and said to them, "What's wrong? You don't even dare to drink a sip of water at my residence?"

Don't worry, the poisoner won't act now; who knows if they might harm themselves.

As Rong Ruiyuan spoke, he glanced at his brothers, but couldn't discern anything unusual from their expressions.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth. Until the real culprit is caught, everyone will probably have to be wary of those around them like this in the future.

……

Gu Kaiyuan was unaware that their choice had thrown the entire royal family into chaos.

Now it's not just the palace that's investigating; even the residences of the various princes are undergoing a major purge.

The investigation was astounding. Every household was like a giant sieve, filled with people from all sides. Even powerful ministers from aristocratic families had planted their own spies in the princes' residences.

Looking at these investigation results, the emperor was in a terrible mood, because the same situation existed in the palace.

Gu Kaiyuan and Bai Suihe were unaware of their various purges because their pawnshop opened for business today.

This time, unlike before when it was a quiet, clandestine opening, all the prominent figures in the county came to participate.

Gu Kaiyuan specially booked an entire inn and hired several chefs.

Bai Suihe also booked an entire floor, where she specially entertained her acquaintances' wives.

Today she also saw Madam Lin, Hu Wan'er, whose complexion and appearance were completely different from before, making her look even younger.

Bai Suihe no longer wanted to think about whether she had been implicated or if it was all part of a scheme; the ending was good anyway.

What surprised her even more was that Madam Gu had also come.

Bai Suihe still found it a bit strange, but Zisu reminded her in her ear that the master had invited Master Gu Jiu, and as his wife, she would naturally accompany him. A lady nearby wondered, wasn't this man supposed to be under house arrest? Could the rules of a wealthy family be changed so frequently?
Since the visitor was a guest, Bai Suihe greeted her with a smile, "Madam Gu is a rare guest indeed, please come in."

Madam Gu looked at Bai Suihe and smiled meaningfully, "Madam Gu, I've heard so much about you. Today I finally get to see your face."

"Madam is joking. Last time I attended your banquet, but you had so many guests that you didn't notice people like us."

Bai Suihe replied in a neither too firm nor too soft manner, and then said, "If the hospitality was not up to par today, please forgive me, Madam."

"Do you know anyone here? Let me help you find a seat."

They weren't familiar with each other to begin with, and she arrived so late. She should have been seated, but since she was a guest, Bai Suihe could only help her make arrangements.

To everyone's surprise, the person just glanced at her and shook her head, saying, "Oh, I'm so sorry, I've only just arrived in Lingnan and don't know anyone yet. I think Madam Gu is quite pleasing to the eye, so why don't we sit together?"

Bai Suihe chuckled, "Madam is new here and may not know the rules. As the host, I need to pay attention to the guests' needs at all times. I'm afraid I'll be very busy today."

I just remembered there's an empty seat; it's a good opportunity for you to meet more friends.

As she spoke, she led the way. As for whether Madam Gu followed behind, Bai Suihe indicated that since she didn't turn around, it could be assumed that she hadn't noticed.

Madam Gu gritted her teeth, resentful of Bai Suihe's dismissive attitude, but with so many people watching, she dared not cause any trouble, otherwise Ninth Master might really send her back to the capital.

If I were sent back like this, I would either be greeted with a life of quiet contemplation or a letter of divorce.

If Bai Suihe had followed her own plan that day, none of the subsequent troubles would have occurred.

And this couple is so clueless. They've already expressed their intentions; a smart person would have handed the things over with both hands, and the Duke's mansion might have offered them some protection.

Who knew that Gu Kaiyuan would insist on organizing an auction banquet, which made them earn so much more money.

The Duke gave them a fixed amount; they could still make a profit even if he gave them less. But if he gave them more, they would have to pay for it themselves. This back and forth resulted in a huge loss for their branch of the family.

There's no way to reason with this, so I have to swallow my anger.

When Bai Suihe led her to a secluded private room, the disdain in her eyes became even more palpable. "You just put me here? Who's inside?"

Bai Suihe turned around in surprise, "Guests are all welcome. We'll get to know each other after a while. The ladies are all very easy to get along with."

What are you pretending for here? Even if he comes from the Duke's mansion, Gu Yeshi is just a collateral branch of the Duke's mansion, and he has no official rank. His status is the same as everyone else's.

When Bai Suihe pointed it out, Madam Gu Jiu really couldn't find any words to refute it. Bai Suihe had already taken the lead and greeted the ladies inside, "Madam Xiao, Madam Wang, Madam Liu... I apologize for the poor hospitality."

This is Madam Gu Jiu, who just arrived for the banquet. May she sit with you?

Bai Suihe chose this private room with a plan in mind, as it was filled with female relatives from several families who had come from the capital.

Unlike Madam Gu Jiu, they were not high-profile and were more afraid of social engagements, so they specifically asked Bai Suihe for this secluded little private room.

Several people had heard of Madam Gu, and now that they saw her standing in front of them, they all became curious.

Faced with such brazen stares from so many people, Madam Gu wasn't stupid. Although she had no dealings with these people before, she knew that several aristocratic families had also sent representatives. Recalling the surnames they had just heard, she was probably certain it was them. (End of Chapter)
