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

Chapter 60 060. Want to Split

Not only did he not get any water, but he also had to carry two quilts back with him. Gu Kaiping was so angry that he didn't know how to vent.

Liu Yun looked at Bai Suihe with some envy. Gu Kaiyuan seemed to be a carefree person, but he was really good to the Bai family.

Along the way, except for the time when he had to take care of Xu Huizhen, he had been supporting Bai Suihe, and Bai Suihe had his hands empty the whole time, no wonder his complexion didn't look much different.

Look at Gu Kaiping again, he only cares about himself and doesn't care about the three of them, mother and son.

Seeing him coming back with the quilt and staring at her, his intention was obvious.

But she was unwilling to respond. It was already hard enough for her to carry a quilt on her back, and she wanted to throw it to him.

"This water is so undrinkable," Xu Huizhen couldn't help but complain after taking the last sip.

"Who can I blame for this? I asked you to buy more skins before, otherwise there wouldn't be this problem." Gu Baijiang stood up and looked around. Unexpectedly, he saw an acquaintance among them.

That was Chen Dafu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I remember that before he was taken away, this Lord Chen was fine.

"Master Gu," Chen Dafu of course saw him as well, and stood up and bowed to him.

Gu Baijiang, "Why are you here too?"

"This is really unfair," Chen Dafu said bitterly, "that day you were taken away by the guards, and the fire soon spread to the Ministry of Revenue.

At that time, the military pay passed through my hands, and I did hand it over, but no one could tell which link went wrong in the process.

I can't prove my innocence, and this will only bring trouble to my family."

Chen Dafu looked at his family with a face full of guilt. He had always been conscientious and believed that he had not done anything to offend His Majesty. Who would have thought that His Majesty would not listen to his explanation or investigate and just accuse him.

Gu Baijiang, "Yes, I am also wronged."

There was so much silver, and he didn't even touch a single ounce of it, but he had to bring his whole family to pay for it. It was really unfair.

"From now on, we can be considered brothers in need. We will take care of each other along the way."

Chen Dafu was also quite famous in the court. It was said that his wives and concubines gave birth to seven sons and five daughters for him, plus his grandchildren, a total of more than forty people.

Unlike his fake financial difficulties, this Mr. Chen is truly poor.

The whole family depended on his salary for support, and among the interpersonal relationships in the court, he was the one who gave the most frivolous gifts.

Although everyone grumbled about it privately, no one would talk about it publicly, because he was really poor and his reputation was actually pretty good.

But it is somewhat unbelievable that His Majesty could pin the evidence of corruption on such a poor official.

Chen Dafu, "Okay, okay. I'll probably need Master Gu to take care of me along the way."

Gu Baijiang instantly wanted to take back his previous words. He valued the fact that Chen Dafu's family was large and powerful, and if the two families worked together, they would not be bullied.

I just forgot that this family is very poor and it’s hard to say who will take care of whom.

Gu Kaiyuan heard the commotion here and looked at Chen Dafu. This Mr. Chen was not as simple as he seemed.

When the Gu family's charges were rehabilitated, Mr. Chen had already returned to Beijing with his entire family, and even took over the Ministry of Revenue and became the new Minister of War.

"Everyone get up and get going." After the escort had eaten his fill, he began to shout.

There was another chorus of wailing, but no one dared to object, dragging their exhausted bodies on their way. Only by leaving Shangjing would they have a chance to remove the shackles that bound them.

After Gu Baijiang greeted Chen Dafu, the two families actually walked together slowly.

Gu Kaiyuan sneered in his heart when he saw the two old men chatting happily while walking.

They are both old foxes. When something really happens, you can't rely on anyone.

"Hold on a little longer, I'll find a way to get a car then." Gu Kaiyuan's feet were burning, not to mention Bai Suihe, who had been pampered since childhood.

"Let's talk about it later," Bai Suihe was not so optimistic. "With so many people at home, it might not be my turn."

Gu Kaiyuan, “…”

At this moment, he also thought about his previous life. He used the silver given by his mother-in-law to buy an ox cart, but in the end, Bai Suihe could only stay in the corner and was driven off from time to time.

The two of them were thinking about their own things and walked in silence all the way.

In the meantime, Gu Kaiping wanted to throw the quilt to Gu Kaiyuan several times, but he refused directly on the grounds that there was not enough time. Besides, his second brother was there, so it would not be his turn so soon.

Xu Huizhen originally felt a little sorry for Gu Kaiping, but when she thought that he was unwilling to give the money to her to manage, she forced herself not to interfere.

When they arrived at the post station the next day, everyone was in an even more miserable state. Many people even had to use their hands and feet to avoid being beaten.

Arriving at the post station, Gu Kaiyuan took off his shackles and went straight to Liu Pingkang. "Brother Liu, I wonder if we can have a private room tonight?"

Liu Pingkang was a little embarrassed. "You know, this place is not far from Shangjing after all. There are many people coming and going on the official road. If this gets known to someone with ulterior motives..."

Gu Kaiyuan shook his hand and took the opportunity to put the banknote directly into his palm, "I hope Brother Liu can be flexible."

"That's easy," Liu Pingkang sighed. "The Bai family also told us to take good care of him along the way, but we can't have a superior room, at least not here."

"I understand the rules. Just ask for a lower-class room. I'll get you two tables of food and wine later to make up for what I promised you before."

"Look at you... you're so polite," Liu Pingkang patted his shoulder. "At the next post station, if you want an oxcart, let me know in advance and I'll have someone pick out a good one for you."

"Thank you very much, but I have one more favor to ask of you," Gu Kaiyuan stuffed another banknote into his pocket, and Liu Pingkang immediately took him to a corner. The two of them whispered something, and finally left with satisfaction.

With Liu Pingkang's greeting, Gu Kaiyuan helped Bai Suihe to ask the shopkeeper for a lower-class room, so that they finally had some private space for the two of them.

"I need to have a good rest, otherwise my foot will be disabled." Bai Suihe was helped to sit on the bed, and he felt that the soles of his feet had no feeling.

"Then rest more," the two did not say much. Gu Kaiyuan began to take off the quilt and put it on the bed.

"But since we live here by ourselves, your family might have something to say."

"Let them do what they want," Gu Kaiyuan pondered on the way. Even if he followed the Gu family's lead in everything, he would still be following the same old path as in his previous life.

This time he wanted to go with the flow and just be okay with it.

If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to prevent his future children from being branded as unfilial and having an impact on them, he would have wanted to stay away from this family.

"Now that the situation has become like this, will they agree to split up?" Bai Suihe has been thinking about this question as if this is the only way to break away from them.
