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

Chapter 601, Section 602: Luck
"So you're talking about the Liu family at the end of the alley in the west of the city. I actually know a bit about them."

They moved away a few years ago, and the house was abandoned. Later, I heard it was sold, but no one has lived there since.

However, many distinguished guests have recently arrived in Lingnan, so it's been quite lively lately. His courtyard has changed hands several times already.

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper lowered his guard and looked at them with some sympathy, saying, "Your relative is probably hard to find. People who have been out of contact for years are even harder to find."

"That's such a pity. But I've come all this way and I'm a little reluctant to leave. I wonder if the people who bought the houses here know where he went?"

“We don’t know,” the shopkeeper shook his head. “Actually, my house is not far from his, otherwise I wouldn’t know that his house changed hands several times.”

A few days ago, someone bought that courtyard house again, and now the owner has already moved in.

If you don't believe me, you can go and ask directly. However, I suggest you check with the government office; there should be some records there.

The man paid for the tea, and he wasn't trying to cause trouble; he just asked a few questions, which the innkeeper answered readily. The innkeeper even kindly pointed him to the county government office.
The handsome man nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your guidance, shopkeeper."

Do you know if the Liu family has any other relatives here?
Or perhaps it's someone who's giving him face; maybe they have some new information.

"I really don't know," the shopkeeper said, seeing that the cup was empty, and refilled it from his counter. "We're just trying to make a living, we're here all day long, we really don't care about these things."

However, because the house was old and dilapidated, it couldn't fetch a high price at all.

Those with power and influence glanced at it and then ignored it; otherwise, the person behind them wouldn't have gotten a bargain, and I heard the price was quite low.

However, this attempt to save money backfired spectacularly; the house collapsed as soon as they entered, and they had to rebuild it.

"That's true. Now that we have no other clues, it seems we have no choice but to go and bother them."

The shopkeeper was eager to get rid of these menacing figures, but he also said with great enthusiasm, "It's worth asking around; what if we find any clues?"

But in his heart he was thinking, "It's already changed hands so many times, who would still know the name of the previous owner?"
The handsome man knew he wouldn't get any more information from them now, as it was all the same as what they had heard before.

The family that's currently staying there—they've been to see them too—shouldn't be aware of the situation, otherwise they wouldn't have dared to live there.

Regardless, they were ordered to do something and had already received their payment, so they had to go no matter what.

Before doing that, they need to do some research first. They don't want to provoke the wrong people by showing up so rashly.

They drank some tea and then left. The shopkeeper was so startled that he quickly went out to collect all the cups, told the waiter to clean up the mess, and then closed the door, deciding to take an early break for the day.

Bai Suihe felt that she must have missed the almanac by going out today, which was why she encountered ghosts one after another.

“This isn’t the Bai family’s,” Liu Yun said, carrying a vegetable basket. All the vegetables from the family were here, almost bending her back under the weight.

“Mrs. Gu,” Bai Suihe nodded, “what a coincidence, how did you end up moving here again?”

Liu Yun put the vegetable basket directly on the ground. Carrying so many vegetables by herself was almost exhausting for her. "How did we move here? I don't believe you don't know."

"Aren't you happy to see how miserable we are?" But he didn't notice that after these days of hardship, Liu Yun now looked like a coarse peasant woman, with messy hair and a wrinkled skirt, looking particularly disheveled.

But her stern and cold demeanor, coupled with her thin and deformed face, made her seem even more mean-spirited.

"Think whatever you want," Bai Suihe said, wanting to skip the conversation and not wanting to waste any more words on him.

"Now that you're doing well, can you help us?" Liu Yun looked at her, seeing the endless stream of servants and guards, whose grandeur even surpassed that of the Gu family in the past.

"What nonsense are you spouting? We have no relationship anymore, so why would I help you?"

Bai Suihe thought that she had made her point so clearly that the other party would back down, but she clearly underestimated the other party's shamelessness.

Liu Yun stared intently at Bai Jianbei, who was walking side by side with Bai Suihe, and the chubby baby he was holding in his arms.

Gu Xingyang, “…” You’re the one who’s round and chubby, your whole family is round and chubby.

"Bai, where is my third brother? What have you done to him?"

How come he found another mistress...?

"Watch your mouth," Bai Jianbei stepped forward, shielding his older sister behind him. He knew who this person was from the way his sister had addressed him earlier.

He had never met this young mistress of the Bai family before, but now, seeing her so mean-spirited, and even thinking about how much his sister had suffered at her hands, his anger surged. "If you can't speak properly, then don't keep your tongue."

Looking at the young man in front of her, Liu Yun's eyes turned red with jealousy. Why was there such a big difference between her and Bai Suihe? "You two are doing things that no one can criticize, but a man and a woman alone together in public like this, how can you face my third brother?"

He deliberately raised his voice when he said this, which attracted some people to stop and watch, even though there weren't many pedestrians on the road.

Everyone looked at Bai Suihe and her companion with strange eyes. Indeed, it was indecent for them to walk side by side with a man other than their husbands on the street. Even if the customs of Lingnan were open, it was still indecent.

Just as everyone was thinking about how to get revenge, Bai Jianbei kicked Liu Yun away with a flying kick, saying, "I'll teach you to talk nonsense. What's wrong with me walking with my own sister? Can't siblings get along?"

For a moment, Liu Yun's mind went blank. This was the first time she had ever been kicked away like this. "Who knows if what you're saying is true?"

Feeling a little guilty, she took a closer look and realized the two did look somewhat alike, but she didn't dare to admit it. "Even if they are siblings, there should be some distance between them."

Bai Suihe pulled Bai Jianbei behind her, "This is a matter between my brother and me, what does it have to do with you?"

"Those with a heart see everything as dirty."

Arguing with someone like that is beneath you; you'd be better off finding someone in the village to vent your anger on. At least they'll just use foul language and won't hurt you.

Just as Liu Yun struggled to stand up, two guards came over and put their swords to her neck. "Apologize to our young lady and young master."

This matter must be discussed today, otherwise it will damage Miss's reputation.

Liu Yunzhi could only apologize reluctantly and wanted to turn around and leave, but then she came back and picked up the vegetables.
