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

Chapter 282.012. Siblings
Upon hearing that Rong Ruiyuan had not become emperor, but instead the previously unknown sixth prince had ascended to the throne, everyone was stunned for a moment.

Liu Yun chuckled, "Karma, serves him right. Rong Ruiyuan was never destined to be emperor. He ruined our family so badly, what's his fate now?"

Gu Baijiang: "He did not participate in the palace coup, and as soon as the emperor ascended the throne, he was even granted the title of Prince."

But having a father become emperor is a different matter from having a brother become emperor. Even if the title changes, the situation changes as well.

"A prince?" Liu Yun's face turned ugly. "Does he even deserve it?"

"We can talk about these things at home. Right now, we're just commoners. We won't concern ourselves with matters of the court anymore. Do you all understand?"

Gu Baijiang warned them that the Sixth Prince's ascension to the throne was also a good thing for them. Over the years, he had always felt that someone was watching him, and he guessed that it might be someone sent by Rong Ruiyuan.

Now that things have settled down, they might be able to leave this small mountain village again.

This is also an opportunity for the two children. Gu Baijiang looked at his two grandsons with loving eyes, "Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is an opportunity for you. In the days to come, you should prepare well for the exam, for the future of our Gu family..."

Gu Baijiang gathered everyone together today to give them a warning and let them know what's most important right now.

Gu Anliang glanced at his mother. He knew that his mother harbored hatred and wanted him to avenge his sister. However, he knew his own limitations and was even less capable than his younger brother in academics.

The teacher had told himself that at most he could only reach the level of a Xiucai (a scholar who passed the lowest level of the imperial examinations), and the best outcome for him would be to find a private school and become a teacher.

The family's hopes rest on the brothers, and now he actually hopes Anwei can step up...

Xu Shuanghong said, "This has nothing to do with me. I'm going back to rest."

Gu Baijiang then stopped her, saying, "Meilin's child will be one year old soon, let's go celebrate together then."

"What are you up to now?"

"Don't say such harsh things. We're all family. These sisters still rely on our family for support. We need to visit them more often so that others won't dare to bully them. Haven't you noticed that your good son-in-law has rarely laid a hand on them in the past two years?"

Xu Shuanghong sneered. Was it because he didn't want to take action?
It's not that they want a grandson, but rather that they've sent someone to look after him.

“Rong Ruiyuan can no longer sit in that position, and the people watching us will probably leave. It’s time to let Kaiping and the others find some jobs.”

Gu Baijiang stated bluntly, "As long as Meilin helps us get this done, these two nephews will be Aunt Meilin's strongest backers from now on."

Xu Shuanghong glanced at Gu Anwei and the others, "I don't trust the Gu family."

“Aunt Xu, don’t be so rude,” Gu Kaichen stood up and pointed at her nose, “My father has been good enough to you.”

Fan Meibao was my concubine, but he found her another good match, without considering my feelings as his son at all.

You should be grateful, how can you be so cold and indifferent?

“Shut up,” Gu Baijiang snapped. “I’m the head of the family, and there are some things I should do.”

Don't listen to this brat's nonsense. I also want the best for our two daughters.

Look, their lives are slowly getting better now.

Last time, Meibao brought two children back, and they called her "Mommy" so sweetly. Now she has someone to rely on, and we can rest assured. Kaichen, you rascal, don't bring up the past again. Meibao and Meilin are both your sisters; you must remember that.”

Gu Kaichen wanted to speak, but Gu Kaiping pulled him down, saying, "Father is speaking, why are you interrupting? Sit down quietly."

"I……"

Before he could say anything, Gu Baijiang gave him a warning look, which made him dare not say anything more.

The whole family is now relying on Gu Baijiang for their livelihood. If they say anything more, they might not have anything to eat next.

Xu Shuanghong felt a little soft-hearted when she thought about Fan Meibao's current life. At least Meibao's life was not bad, and it was clear that she genuinely loved those two children.

"Since you're coming to visit, you should prepare a generous gift." Since it would benefit her daughter anyway, Xu Shuanghong went straight for the money. "My daughter doesn't have a suitable set of clothes, so she can't go out to socialize in the county town."

"We'll make it up to you then," Gu Baijiang said, though he was a little heartbroken.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. The reason we arranged for Fan Meilin to marry him was for this day.

Even if Liu Yun and the others had their opinions, they could only endure them, since they were not in charge of the household, and their father-in-law was right; this was for the sake of the two children's future.

If the two children want to take the exams, they need a guarantor. If the county magistrate is willing to step in, it's definitely better than them begging and pleading everywhere.

As for the Gu family, Bai Suihe and the others had been keeping an eye on them. They watched them struggle to climb the social ladder but didn't try to sabotage or stop them. Their grudges with the previous generation were already settled, the culprit was long dead, and the punishment for the Gu family had been served.

After all, this family has lofty ambitions; bringing them down to earth is enough.

Bai Suihe received the news but put it aside; her important task today was to receive her two younger brothers who had come from afar.

Both of his younger brothers are now capable of standing on their own and have married and had children. Because they visit each other often, Bai Suihe built two houses for them in the small fishing village.

Today I specially hired someone to clean the house and had the housekeeper pick out a lot of seafood, preparing to treat my two younger brothers well today.

They've made a lot of money for themselves over the years, so we should treat them better.

"Sister," Bai Jianbei is now a father of two, but he still acts the same carefree and easygoing manner in front of Bai Suihe.

"You've caught every species in the sea," Bai Jianbei said, licking his lips as he looked at the table full of delicious food. In the past few years, as he traveled all over the country, what he missed most was his sister's cooking.

Although my brother's restaurants and eateries have opened branches everywhere, the taste is always different.

"I didn't do this to welcome you; I prepared it for my little nephews and nieces."

As Bai Suihe spoke, she first greeted her two sisters-in-law, then stroked each of the children before turning to Bai Jianbei and the others.

"Big sister, that's a bit unfair," Bai Jianbei said, leaning close to her as affectionately as ever. "It was one thing that I couldn't compare to my niece and nephew before, but now I'm being pushed behind by these brats. I've spent a lot of money on you over the years, so how come I don't get any credit or recognition for my hard work?"

Bai Suihe chuckled and said to her two sisters-in-law, "Listen to what you're saying! It makes me sound like a miser. Don't you even consider who has good fortune but doesn't know how to enjoy it?"
