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

Chapter 73 073. Brothers
"Shut up right there," Gu Baijiang was still thinking that one day he would be able to return to the court. In addition, the Li family's affairs had not been made public before, so he could find a way to smooth things over in the future.

Who knew that this stupid woman would actually start yelling like this, trying to ruin the reputation of his Gu family. How could he tolerate this?

"That was a misunderstanding, don't hold on to it." Gu Baijiang lowered his voice and said, "Don't you want to think about your children and grandchildren?

Do you really want to block the boss's path to success?
Do your grandchildren still want to find a good in-law?"

"..."

"Do you think that ruining my reputation and making this matter public will benefit you?"

"I've worked hard for decades, and I was about to have a great future, but now it's all ruined by you, a stupid bitch.

I really regret it now, if I had known this..."

What if I had known this earlier? Although Gu Baijiang hadn't finished speaking, Xu Huizhen sensed the malice in his words and shuddered.

"We've had enough rest and watched enough shows, so let's get ready to set off." Liu Pingkang deliberately delayed for some time in order to watch the show. As expected, these civil officials had to be good at it and nitpick on all kinds of words.

No one dared to delay, so they packed up and set off immediately.

However, during the rest of the journey, the whole team was no longer as dull as before. There was more talking and laughing. They were probably talking about the gossip of the Gu family. This could be considered a good thing done by the Gu family.

Bai Suihe lay on the soft couch prepared by Dongmei and the others, feeling a little drowsy as the ox cart swayed.

Suddenly, she opened her eyes, startling Gu Kaiyuan. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, I just suddenly remembered something." The two girls looked at him nervously, but Bai Suihe did not point it out.

Gu Kaiyuan nodded slightly at her, "Rest assured, I will make arrangements."

As he spoke, he opened the curtain and said to Zhuang Datou and the others who were sitting outside driving the cart, "See if we can put the ox cart at the back. Since we're not happy with the Gu family, we shouldn't get too close to them, lest they think we're taking advantage of us."

Gu Kaiyuan's voice was not small, and not only the Gu family could hear it, but everyone also smiled meaningfully. It was obvious who was taking advantage of whom.

As for the affairs of the Gu family, everyone just had more topics to talk about, and no one went into details about who was right or wrong.

Some people think that Gu Kaiyuan is unwilling to help his brothers and parents because he sees that the Bai family has someone to help them, and wants to use this opportunity to draw a clear line between them.

There were also those who were experienced in judging people and could see the character of the Gu family, but they did not point it out. Anyway, this family was not someone to be trifled with, so they just kept their distance.

Zhuang Datou was not as honest as his name suggested. He knew his brother-in-law had his reasons for giving him the order. He immediately handed the rope to Huang Pingguo and jumped off the ox cart.

When Liu Pingkang saw Zhuang Datou coming, his eyes lit up. This meant that good things were coming to him.

We are the Bai family, so we are more generous than most other families. As long as we serve this lady from the Bai family well, we brothers will definitely make a fortune when we return.

Sure enough, Zhuang Datou stuffed a purse into the cart, said some words of gratitude, and then came back and moved the carriage to the back of the team.

"Boss, the Bai family is really generous," Guo Baozhu couldn't help but be amazed when he saw Liu Pingkang take out 50 taels of silver notes from his purse. In the past, they would have been lucky to earn this much from a trip, but they didn't expect them to be so generous.

“The family is very wealthy, and this is Madam Bai’s only legitimate daughter, so of course they will be generous.

Please protect me along the way, so that I can speak well of you to Madam Bai later, which will definitely benefit everyone."

Liu Pingkang folded the banknote back and said, "I'll say hello to my brothers later. It's hard to give it in cash now, but I'm sure it will benefit everyone."

Gu family
After walking halfway, Gu Kaichen felt a little exhausted.

In addition, Gu Kaiyuan was now sitting in the Bai family's ox cart, not knowing what kind of enjoyment it was, and he felt even more unbalanced, "I can't move."

"There's no room left in the car. What can we do if we can't walk?" Gu Kaiping was also exhausted, but there was nothing he could do. As the eldest son, he couldn't speak first.

"Brother, I think this cow is quite docile. We don't need two people to lead her in front. Why don't we take turns to rest on the ox cart?"

"I'm afraid the cow can't eat enough," Gu Kaiping had lived in the countryside before, so he knew something about it.

Although this cow is not old, it is rather thin. The ox cart is already full. If one more person is added, although it can still fit, the cow will probably be exhausted.

"This animal is really useless," Gu Kaichen said with some disgust. Then he thought about the ox cart prepared by the Bai family. The difference was too obvious.

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't empty our family's savings just for a good ox cart.

Second brother, instead of complaining here, you might as well save your energy. I, your eldest brother, am suffering just as much.

We don’t have a good Yue family like Kaiyuan, so we’d better just endure it.”

Gu Kaichen’s anger was indeed aroused, “It’s a pity that we thought of taking care of this family before, but who knew they were so cruel and ruthless.

Look at what Gu Kaiyuan did before. It must have been intentional. He wanted to get rid of our family.

"Brother, you are such a fool. You are usually busy with official business, but don't forget to teach Gu Kaiyuan a lesson. Look at how idiotic he is. Don't let him become a burden to us in the future."

“Why don’t you teach him, aren’t you his second brother?

Didn't Dad mention this to you?"

"What did you mention?" Gu Kaichen was puzzled. "Could it be that there is some secret in our family?"

"No," Gu Kaiping breathed a sigh of relief, "I meant Gu Kaiyuan's future."

"What future can he have? Did Dad ever tell you that he would donate an official position to him in the future?" Gu Kaichen said sourly, "But even if we had such a plan before, it's no longer possible now. I guess we can only live out our lives in Lingnan."

"That's not it. Dad said before that Gu Kaiyuan was not good at studying, so he planned to let him take care of the household affairs and help us brothers."

“So that’s what happened,” Gu Kaichen looked back at the Bai family’s ox cart with some disdain, “I knew it when my father asked him to marry a girl from the Bai family.

It's a pity that all of Bai's dowry went to the emperor."

"Shut up and think before you speak." Gu Kaiping quickly looked around to make sure no one heard their conversation, then heaved a sigh of relief, "Don't be so reckless, I don't want to be implicated by you."

"Brother, I just said something wrong," Gu Kaichen was a little scared at this moment. If these escorts heard what he said before, they could execute him on the spot, and they would have legitimate reasons.

"Isn't it all my fault, big brother? Why bring this up?"
