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

When Bai Suihe and his family received the news, they were eating. The couple couldn't help but add half a bowl of rice to their bowls, which sounded quite satisfying.

“We were just discussing how to transfer that courtyard to him at a low price, but it seems there’s no way now. He’s so poor, I can’t just give it away for free.”

Gu Kaiyuan was filled with regret, as he hadn't been able to get rid of this only hot potato in his hands. However, he had already handled it several times and was just waiting for a good opportunity.

"Then we can only wait. The Third Prince sent them here, so it must not be that simple."

Now that the struggle for the throne has begun, besides lacking power, what they lack most is money. So many family merchants have come to Lingnan; the Third Prince probably wants to make a quick buck too.

Many of these aristocratic families are related to the princes through indirect marriages, and Lingnan will not be peaceful for long.

"You mean we should wait until he's made his money before we make a move?" Gu Kaiyuan stroked his chin. He'd been busy these past two days, and his stubble had sprouted again. No wonder his daughter wouldn't let him hold her today. He'd have to clean it up later, lest even his wife finds it unpleasant.

“Yes,” Bai Suihe didn’t want the Gu family to have an easy time; she wanted them to leave just as they had come.

“They also owed a lot of debt before. If we keep a close eye on them, they might be able to help your Gu clan.”

Gu Kaiyuan disagreed with Bai Suihe's statement, saying, "I don't have much to do with them anymore. We should get less involved in what happens to them in the future."

Bai Suihe rolled her eyes at him. "You talk a good game, but you made your uncle's family do chores before?"

"It's not that Kai Shan and the others have come to me for help. Although we had an unpleasant falling out in this life, we still had some connections before. Besides, it doesn't matter who I ask for help."

Gu Kaiyuan didn't think it was because he was soft-hearted, but because they would be staying in the same village from now on, and there was no need to make things too tense.

They are just ordinary people, and it's normal for them to have their own little thoughts and feelings.

Everyone wants to live a better life. Gu Baijiang's relationship was just another wrong choice in their lives, and they paid the price for it.

"What are you thinking? Do you think I can't guess? After all, it's about preserving the family line, I know." Bai Suihe didn't have any ill will towards the Gu clan.

In the future world, human relationships will be even more distant. If they were in this situation, they might make the same choice.

"Then let's give them a hand. Once Gu Kaiping earns some money, I'll find a way to let them know." Gu Kaiyuan understood, and he knew what Bai Suihe wanted to do.
"By the way, we can't let Gu Jia get a bargain even if it's cheap for others."

With members of the Gu clan present, we don't have to find other ways to cause them trouble.

The couple had the same idea: from now on, if Gu Kaiping ever reaches out, he can forget about getting any money into his pocket.

With so many tribespeople starving for food, he had to feed them.

After finally returning to the post station, Gu Kaiping lay down and felt a chill run down his spine for some reason, and tears streamed down his face again.

He'd never been beaten like that before in his entire life.

If it weren't for what the adult said earlier, he might not have been able to return unscathed today.

He pressed his hand to his chest; the silver notes he had hidden there were now empty. How was he supposed to survive now?

He'd rather stay in the capital and copy books every day than live such a life. It's hard work, but at least he'll have some income.

There's no way out now; I can only go to Lord He tomorrow morning to borrow some money. What kind of mess is this...?

He did want to ask Lord He to go and put pressure on Gu Kaiyuan, but he knew that no one else would do that.

Having just arrived, Lord He spent the entire day trying to curry favor with Xu Zitian and the Lu family, who were all extremely intolerant of any dissent, let alone dare to harass the people of his county.

Gu Kaiping has been in the neighboring county for two months now, and the weather has turned hot in summer, but no other news has come back.

Bai Suihe has been staying at home these days, secretly using ice made from saltpeter to cool off.

Of course, we wouldn't dare to openly take these things outside now.

Little Gu Xingyang is now surrounded by older brothers and sisters playing with her, and has long forgotten about her own mother.

Hearing Gu Xingyang's giggling laughter coming from next door, Bai Suihe thought that it would be perfect if she could have another cup of milk tea right now.

She had previously discovered the presence of cassava on the mountain in her own space.

This stuff is really essential for making pearl fruit or taro balls.

But if you want to take it out openly and honestly, you still need a reason.

Sigh, I guess I'll only be able to drink the simplified version of milk tea this year. I'll have to figure out how to get the cassava out and plant it.

However, this thing is also dependent on the temperature. In Zhang County, it snows in winter, so the temperature is definitely below zero. We'll have to go somewhere else then. If we go further south from Shao County, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

Cassava contains mild toxins, but if prepared properly, it can be an indispensable delicacy.

Thinking of the bubble tea she had been longing for, Bai Suihe decided to make it available on this continent as soon as possible.

When the harvest is in season, I'll explain it to everyone properly and let them know how to handle it.

She's now studying medicine, which gives her even more credibility.

Acting on a whim, Bai Suihe immediately summoned Zisu and asked her to fetch some goat milk from the backyard.

To make bubble tea, we'll have to touch Gu Xingyang's food supply today.

Anyway, the little guy now likes to eat complementary food, and Bai Suihe didn't waste the milk produced by the sheep she raised before, so that the little guys who were serving Gu Xingyang could drink some every day.

These children suffered greatly before being adopted, and their bodies were somewhat damaged. This is a good opportunity for them to recuperate so that they can better serve Gu Xingyang in the future.

There was a lot of tea at home, so Bai Suihe took a small pinch of black tea and started busying herself in the kitchen!

When Pang Mama heard that the lady was cooking, she just smiled. She guessed that the lady had thought of something delicious. In any case, she always managed to make it look quite presentable. Maybe she would be in for a treat today.

Strolling into the kitchen, Granny Pang glanced at the scene and saw that they were actually frying tea leaves.

"Madam, is there something wrong with these tea leaves?" Putting the tea leaves in a pan to stir-fry—does Madam think the tea leaves have gone bad? Is this how they're processed?
Bai Suihe's hands kept moving because she couldn't control the fire on the stove and was afraid of burning it. Without looking up, she said, "No, I just wanted to try it out and see how tea leaves and goat milk taste together. Would it taste better?"

Bai Suihe couldn't tell the truth, so she could only use her cravings as an excuse.

Granny Pang shook her head, thinking that the madam really did something on a whim.

"That's good, giving it a try might be worthwhile. Maybe we can create a different flavor." Just like with their pharmaceutical business, how can they gain anything new without trying? (End of Chapter)
