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

Chapter 51 051. Disdain
Gu Kaichen, "You are their son-in-law, if you don't ask, how do you know they are unwilling to help?
Besides, our parents are still suffering in this prison, can you and your sister-in-law really enjoy a good life outside with peace of mind?"

"Second brother, be careful with your words. Your sister-in-law and I did not go out, but moved to another cell." Gu Kaiyuan sneered in his heart. Gu Kaichen was not good at other things, but he was good at doing mean things.

"And it's not like I didn't care about my father at all. I brought him some food."

"What about ours?" The rotten food from yesterday was totally inedible, and he was still hungry.

"Brother, don't forget, we are prisoners now. It's not easy for my Yue family to use their connections to send some things in. How can I dare to ask for more?

To be honest, you might as well ask Big Brother for help. After all, his Yue family is the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion. Maybe with just a word from them, we can get out of here."

In the cell opposite, Gu Baijiang opened the oil paper and found a white flour bun inside. He couldn't help but look up at Gu Kaiyuan, "Is this what the Bai family sent?"

Bai Jingwen is a wealthy man, why would he be so stingy?
"The one who showed up wasn't my father-in-law, but the nanny next to my mother-in-law. She was also the one who served Sui He."

"What? Isn't it because Bai Jingwen left?"

“Our family is in this state now, and everyone is avoiding us, so how could they possibly help?
Aunt Wu has limited money, and we only have steamed buns to eat."

Gu Kaiyuan thought of the blood bird's nest and exquisite pastries he had eaten in the morning, and felt guilty towards his wife. Since she got married, she had been eating in the big kitchen, which was unfair to her.

"..." This was different from what he had imagined, and Gu Baijiang's face darkened.

"They say businessmen are profit-driven. It seems I overestimated the Bai family."

Hearing Gu Baijiang make such an exclamation, he did not forget to belittle the Bai family.

When the Bai family sponsored him for the imperial examination, although they also had an investment mentality, the favor had already been formed, and later they became in-laws. It was neither reasonable nor moral to say such words.

Gu Kaiyuan's lips curled up in sarcasm, but he said seriously, "Father, if that's the case, can you find some of your old friends and ask them to find a way to help us out?"

The Bai family is a merchant family, so even if they wanted to help, they were powerless.

Isn't there my eldest brother's Yue family? That's a first-class marquisate. We learned a lot of the rules in our house from them. Maybe they are already helping us out. With their help, we wouldn't have to go into exile."

Since they were belittling the Bai family, they should praise the Liu family and the Gu family father and son. "With the help of my father and eldest brother, our family will definitely be able to escape danger this time."

Gu Kaiyuan looked at the steamed bun in Gu Baijiang's hand again, "Father, if you think this steamed bun is not to your taste, you can put it aside first.

I think given the relationship between my father and my eldest brother, someone else will bring us delicious food and steamed buns. I really didn't think it through."

Gu Baijiang was angry. If those people were reliable, they wouldn't have shown up until now.

Even an old servant in a merchant's family offered help. If these colleagues in the officialdom really wanted to help, they would have helped long ago.

Yesterday in the court, most of the people were those who took advantage of others' misfortunes. Can we rely on them?

Kaiyuan's face is full of expectation. Can he be so naive as to think that someone can really help them settle this matter?

"You don't understand what's going on in the court," Gu Baijiang said, looking at the steamed bun in his hand. He instantly lost his appetite and threw it to Gu Kaiping. "I'm not hungry yet. You can eat it."

Gu Kaichen's eyes turned and he said quickly, "Dad, since you don't want to eat, why don't you give it to me? I didn't eat anything last night, and now my stomach is growling."

No matter who you are, you can’t give the boss a break. You have to get the benefits first.

Gu Kaiping had already put the steamed bun to his mouth and took a big bite, "Second brother, I feel the same way. Next time the Bai family sends something over, I will definitely not argue with you." "Gu... gu... gu..." Gu Baijiang didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly and his stomach was so uncooperative.

Gu Kaiyuan pretended not to hear, found a corner to sit down again, picked up a stick and started drawing on the ground.

"Kaiyuan, did the Bai family really only send steamed buns?"

"You don't think we can still have a banquet, do you? Our Gu family has changed a lot, and I dare not ask for too much." Gu Kaiyuan didn't even raise his eyes, but he was making all kinds of plans in his heart.

I've told Madam Wu before that they have plenty of money and things, so even if they come to see us off, they shouldn't show off too much to avoid bringing trouble to them.

Nanny Wu is so smart, she should understand what I mean.

☆

Bai Suihe also brought back a steamed bun, but he received no thanks and even received many complaints.

Bai Suihe found the same corner as yesterday and continued squatting there, ignoring their words.

After being hungry for a whole day and a whole night, these people soon ran out of energy and began to fight over the ownership of the steamed bun.

In the end, Xu Huizhen used her status to pressure others, and since the bun was originally given by Bai Suihe to show his filial piety to her, she ate the entire bun in front of her grandchildren.

Liu Yun and Xu Yulan didn't expect Xu Huizhen to be so selfish. It would be fine if she didn't give them two daughters-in-law, but what about their grandchildren?

Looking at the three children swallowing their saliva and holding their stomachs, don’t you feel any heartache?

Bai Suihe watched this scene quietly. This was just the beginning. There would be more and more conflicts in this family in the future.

The prison was very quiet that day, and no one came in to visit. The Gu family's faces became increasingly ugly.

At night, no one complained about the food being sour and hard, and everyone swallowed it with gritted teeth.

Even the soup that was brought to him, the color of which could not be seen, had to be drunk by pinching his nose.

Bai Suihe had space as cover, and with the help of straw, he solved the food problem.

Seeing that Bai Suihe didn't suffer the same as them, she felt unbalanced again. Xu Yulan said, "It seems that the third sister-in-law had eaten well before and she is not hungry."

Bai Suihe, "Second sister-in-law, don't be polite, I'll give you my food.

I heard that we're going to be on the road tomorrow morning, and this might be our last meal in prison."

"Is the news accurate? Will he really be exiled tomorrow?" Liu Yun looked bewildered. "Did your family bring this news in? Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Bai Suihe, "It should be accurate, so what difference does it make whether you say it or not?
What can we change while we are imprisoned?
I don’t know how the charges in the imperial edict were obtained. Has our family suffered any injustice?
Sister-in-law, I wonder if I can ask my in-laws to help me speak well of you in front of His Majesty."

Although the couple were not together, they both tacitly directed their anger towards the eldest wife. As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Huizhen immediately stared at Liu Yun.

　Dear goddesses, Happy Goddess Day! May all goddesses live exquisitely, laugh freely, have bulging wallets, and be free of worries!
