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

At the end of the letter, he did not forget to mention that this was a rare opportunity, and that if Bai Suihe did well, it could also benefit the Bai family.

"I'm afraid their real purpose is that last sentence," Bai Suihe said with a sneer. "Now that the Bai family is not in the capital, how many prominent relatives and friends can Gu Baijiang, a poor man, possibly have? They're planning to use the Bai family as a pledge of loyalty and us as stepping stones. They're gauging that only their family is smart."

Granny Pang also shook her head, "When people are at their wits' end, they'll go a little crazy. Otherwise, with Gu Baijiang's brains that allowed him to pass the imperial examination, he wouldn't have let Liu Yun humiliate herself like this."

"Granny, do you think this is a letter that Gu Baijiang had Liu Yun write?" Bai Suihe asked.

Granny Pang said, "I think it should be like this. Based on my understanding of the Gu family, this is more likely."

Bai Suihe smiled and shook her head, "This time, Granny might be wrong. If we're talking about someone with a bit of cunning in the entire Gu family, it's Liu Yun."

She came from a noble family, and I heard that her aunt and the Lady of the Marquis were evenly matched in the backyard back then. If she didn't have some skills, things wouldn't be like this.

Gu Antong is her daughter. As a mother, she was thinking of her children's future, which is why she asked me to sponsor Gu Antong.

If it were up to that old Mr. Gu, he would probably say how difficult things were for the Gu family…

After Bai Suihe finished speaking, she found their analysis here somewhat amusing. "But there's no use in saying all this. We all want to draw a line and of course we won't have anything to do with them anymore."

Now that the letter is in my hands, does the nanny think I should write back and firmly refuse?

Bai Suihe was really afraid that if she didn't make things clear, the other party would pretend to be stupid and send letter after letter, making uninformed people think that the two sides were in close contact.

Granny Pang said, "Madam, don't reply to the letter. Have someone at the post station pass on a message saying that the two families have no relationship anymore and that there should be no more letters."

Even if the Gu family becomes wealthy, we won't try to associate ourselves with them.

In this way, although there is no secrecy whatsoever, the matter can be gradually spread in a small circle to show their attitude.

More and more prominent families from Lingnan will move here in the future, which sends a clear signal to everyone.

They still have some resources in Lingnan, but who knows if the Gu family will start using other names again?

Bai Suihe pondered, "Let someone keep an eye on the post station for now, and we'll find a suitable person to help pass on the message."

Different people come and go from the inn every day, but there are some people who cannot be provoked, and they can only wait for an opportunity.

They chatted about it casually for a bit, but didn't take it seriously.

When Gu Kaiyuan returned, he handed the letter to him directly. Gu Kaiyuan just sneered, "This sister-in-law really has a good plan, but I'm afraid she won't have these thoughts for long."

Hearing his certainty, Bai Suihe immediately sat up straight. "A letter has arrived from the capital."

“Yes,” Gu Kaiyuan said with a smile, his tone becoming more relaxed. “Gu Antong has already enjoyed the generous gift I gave her. According to the news, she is becoming more and more prosperous. I believe that before long, she will become a unique sight in the Prince’s residence.”

Bai Suihe stroked her chin, very curious about what Gu Antong would eventually look like.
It was a pity that she couldn't witness the final results. At the same time, she wondered, "What about Rong Ruiyuan?" Gu Kaiyuan replied, "He was also used, but our people have already withdrawn. Moreover, it involves royal matters, so it's not so easy to find out."

“It’s fine to use it,” Bai Suihe thought that was already good enough. “Even if the imperial physicians help him detoxify, he still needs a recovery period, which is enough to put him at a disadvantage among the other princes and make him very anxious for a while.”

However, your people need to be careful and avoid getting bitten.

Gu Kaiyuan was quite confident about this, "Don't worry, I've already made all the arrangements. Besides, this person was sold off by my dear sister-in-law herself, sold far away."

It had already been "damaged" halfway through its journey, making it impossible to trace.

Gu Kaiyuan had already cleaned up his mess. Although he was reborn, he was not arrogant enough to think he could go against the royal family.

In a way, we have to thank Liu Yun for her cooperation. In order to vent his anger, or perhaps to avoid hearing anything unfavorable to Gu Antong from her mouth, he approached the foreign merchant he had specially arranged to be disguised, which made it even more impossible to investigate.

After the incident was over, they had long since returned to their true forms and left by another route. Even if the emperor himself sent people, they would not be able to find a single trace of them.

Their speculations forced Rong Ruiyuan to swallow his anger in the capital.

"What's wrong with you all? It's been so long and you still haven't found out anything!" Rong Ruiyuan roared at the guards sent by the emperor. This time they could give him a sterilization drug, but what about next time? Would they have to put poison right in his mouth?
"Your Highness, I have found a few suspicious points, and we are still investigating them." The head guard was also very troubled. They had been investigating day and night for the past few days and had indeed found a few suspicious points. The backyard of the prince's residence was not clean, and every woman had her own schemes.

They've uncovered a lot of shady dealings, and now their biggest suspicion is about the maid who was sold off by Consort Gu.

As luck would have it, a maid was not valued and was sold off far away during this period.

But all of this was done by Consort Gu and her mother. It wouldn't make sense to say that they knew about it, since who would give themselves such a vicious drug?

Thinking that Consort Gu had become even rounder today, the head of the guards couldn't help but sigh that the person who administered the drug knew how to make someone wish they were dead.

If a woman is shaped like a ball, will she still be loved?
“You keep giving me the same excuses every day. I need a result,” Rong Ruiyuan said, feeling unsafe everywhere. “Now tell me your suspicions. Who do you think is the most suspicious?”

The head of the guards said, "The Empress and the two concubines are all suspects. They have people in Consort Gu's courtyard. They were instructed to drug Consort Gu, but they haven't found an opportunity yet. According to their confessions, the concubines gave the drugs to them."

However, when several ladies were questioned, they all denied that such a thing had happened, saying that these servants had framed them.

They're investigating these things now, and I believe we'll have news in the next couple of days.

Rong Ruiyuan was familiar with the methods used by women in the inner quarters; his mother had lived like that for many years.

He couldn't tolerate the infighting in the inner quarters affecting him. "Then you go and investigate. Don't hold back. If you dare to lay a hand on me, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The head guard hesitated, then remained silent. He actually felt the women in the inner courtyard were less likely suspects; if the Third Prince was infertile, it would be a disaster for them. (End of Chapter)
