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

Chapter 6 006. Baby
"Baby, since you can communicate with your mother so early, there must be a story behind it. I won't ask too many questions, but I have to warn you that we are going to face a big disaster next, so you have to be good in the belly." Bai Suihe felt a little bitter in her heart when she said this.

Without any golden fingers, she has already made the worst plan. It is possible that according to the plot of the original book, two people will die on the way to exile. The fetus in her belly is so innocent that it will directly deprive her of the opportunity to grow up.

If the baby was seven or eight months old, she would have tried her best to give birth to it early, but it was only five months old and there was no way it would survive.

"Mother, are you talking about the disaster at the Gu Mansion?"

Bai Suihe was shocked. Could it be that the fetus in her belly was also reborn?
"How would the baby know?" Bai Suihe couldn't help but ask tentatively.

"That's because I'm good at fortune-telling. Don't worry, mother, I'm here to protect you."

Bai Suihe, however, would not place her hopes on an unborn child. She smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, baby. Just grow up safely in my belly. Mother will do everything she can to ensure your safe birth."

Faced with such a situation, Bai Suihe has no way out.

"Mom, don't worry, I will find a way." As soon as these words were spoken, the ears immediately became quiet. Bai Suihe called out several times but no one paid any attention.

Bai Suihe stroked her belly and couldn't help feeling anxious.

Looking at this house full of wealth, could it really be possible that we are waiting for the day when the house will be raided?
Looking at the busy servants outside through the window screen, Bai Suihe also thought of Dongmei and Chunxiang who were loyal to her.

Instead, we can return their indentures to them. They are the Bai family's servants, and the whole family treats them as their concubines.

I'll talk to them at another time to see if they want to go back to the Bai family or return to their hometown.

And as far as she could remember, the Bai family expelled her from the clan in order to protect themselves.

"Dongmei," Bai Suihe called Dongmei and whispered something in her ear. Dongmei repeated it and then hurried away.

He called Chunxiang in again, whispered something to her in the same way, and then asked her to go out with a box in her arms.

The bad thing about being in this inner house is that the master is less able to move around than the slave.

It’s not that she can’t leave the house, but she needs to get permission from the head of the household, the old lady.

What a wicked feudal society. She was still worried when people just handed things over to the people below her, so she had to go there in person.

Today was no longer possible, so she simply counted her assets.

Their Bai family was a merchant family, and they were able to marry into the residence of the Minister of War because her father was a close friend of Minister Gu when they were young and had also sponsored him in the imperial examinations.

Later, when Gu Baijiang became an official, he did protect the Bai family. However, everyone knew that favors would become less and less valuable the more they were used. This is when the Bai family started to think about marrying their children to each other's families.

I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't expect Gu Baijiang to agree so readily.

Among the children of both sides, only he and Gu Kaiyuan were of the right age, so she married into the Gu family.

She married into a wealthy family, and the Bai family was very wealthy, so they gave her a lot of dowry.

I heard that my second brother mentioned it when he went back, so I read out the dowry list. The housekeeper and two stewards of the Gu Mansion had to take turns.

Gu Baijiang usually prides himself on being honest, and he has made his mark step by step through the imperial examinations. In order to establish himself in the capital, he set various family rules early on.

Several of these rules made the families in Shangjing take notice of him. The first was that men could only take concubines if they were childless and reached the age of 40. Women who married into the Gu family were to keep their dowries themselves, uninterrupted by the trivialities of public affairs. Because of these rules, even if Old Madam Gu was jealous, she had to suppress her desire.

She took out her dowry list from the cabinet, and the set of jewelry mentioned earlier was at the very front.

I called her over today because I wanted her to offer herself to me voluntarily. Remember what was written in the book, that's what the original owner did.

In front of the female members of the family, no matter how reluctant you are, you have no choice but to lend the jewelry.

But she couldn’t get the loan back because her house was searched.

The cheap husband later went to the first wife to ask for it back, but was dismissed with various excuses.

Although she protected the things today, she didn't know who would get them in half a month.

Bai Suihe was extremely envious of the golden fingers of those time travelers, especially the space. It was a pity that she did not have such good luck, otherwise she could take all these things away. No one would get any cheaper.

She brought the dowry list to the warehouse next door, took the key from her waist, opened the door and went in. The two maids she brought from her parents' home immediately stood guard outside the warehouse.

Bai Suihe looked at the crowded warehouse and reached out her hand to slowly touch it. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary wage earner. Now she finally had this huge wealth, but she didn't expect that it would all be gone.

I walked to the innermost box and opened it. Inside was a small wooden box. I lifted the lid and saw it was full of banknotes.

It is not easy to hide so many banknotes on my body. Now I can only sew them into my inner clothes, hoping that some of them can be saved when the house is searched.

He reached out and grabbed a handful of banknotes, stuffed them directly into his arms, and closed the box again, not wanting to look at it any more, for fear of heartache.

The dowry for a daughter in ancient times was really exquisite. Gold belts, gold hairpins, gold hairpin feathers, necklaces, neck ornaments, crowns, head ornaments, earrings, bracelets, rings, seals, breast plates, pendants, jade beads, jade pendants, and jade bracelets were all displayed in boxes.

From the large ones that are painted with vermilion and gold and are full of luster, to the gilded cabinets, to the exquisitely made combing mirror boxes, carved descendants' buckets, to the spare clothes and exquisite shoes, to the small ones such as needles and thread, scissors, looms, thread boards and spindles.

Everything imaginable was prepared, even a red lacquer coffin was placed in the corner.

Bai Suihe was a poor man who had suddenly become rich. He couldn't even keep track of everything. He could imagine where all the property ended up. Finally, he sighed, opened the door and went out.

He locked the door again, told the two maids to keep a close eye on it, and then returned to the room.

She inherited the memory, so of course there was no problem for her to do needlework, and she was not in a hurry to rest and started to get busy.

Time passed quickly during this busy period. Dongmei and Chunxiang, who were sent out, had already returned and brought back several plates of food.

Bai Suihe had been busy all afternoon and was already starving. After finishing his meal, he asked Dongmei Qiuxiang, "Is everything done?"

"Miss, everything has been done." The two older maids were still used to calling Bai Suihe Miss in private, but they also knew their limits and abided by the rules of the mansion in front of outsiders, and Bai Suihe let them do as they pleased.

"You've been tired all day, and I don't need to serve you here. You should go down and rest early." Bai Suihe saw the fatigue in their eyes. He might have to ask them to do more work in the next few days, so he couldn't let them get too tired.

"Miss, I will help you wash up and then go down to rest." Dongmei, in fact, could hardly open her eyes. After all, she and Chunxiang had been guarding the whole night last night.
