Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile

Bai Suihe also looked down on the actions of the Gu Family, and she certainly couldn’t swallow this anger just like that.

Gu Kaiyuan really lives up to being the main villain in the book, holding a grudge and wanting immediate revenge.

This kind of personality is really quite attractive. Bai Suihe couldn’t help but cover her mouth and chuckle, "As dutiful children and daughters-in-law, we must take care of our father’s diet.

I see there’s a stall selling wontons outside, let’s go buy a bowl and send it over to father."

"What my wife says makes sense," Gu Kaiyuan took out a few copper coins from his pocket, "Everyone’s downstairs eating now. We can’t let our father go hungry."

Gu Kaiyuan supported Bai Suihe as they descended the stairs, greeting familiar faces wherever they went.

They went straight to the counter and ordered a bowl of wontons, chatting idly with the people next to them while waiting.

"Why are you two just sharing one bowl?"

"It’s rare to have something hot to eat, of course, we should first send it to my father. We young ones can eat a bit later, it’s no problem."

"You two really are dutiful," a man waiting there smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "I’ll let you have my spot first."

Gu Kaiyuan certainly wouldn’t refuse such kindness and smiled in gratitude. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Carrying the steaming bowl of wontons, the couple headed straight to the dormitory; they didn’t find anyone in the first room and, after asking everyone, they moved to the second room.

Chen Dafu saw them, "Why are you here looking for Mr. Gu?

Didn’t the whole family move out? Didn’t anyone tell you?"

Gu Kaiyuan looked surprised, "Father never mentioned it to me?

Mr. Chen, do you know where they’ve moved to? Surely they’re not still living in the carriage?"

"How could that be?" Mrs. Chen looked at Gu Kaiyuan with schadenfreude, "I seem to recall your father mentioning that someone arranged a few rooms for them and even a feast, taking your whole family to a better place to stay and dine. What? They didn’t inform you?"

Gu Kaiyuan shook his head, "Could there be some mistake? How could my father have any old connections here?"

"We wouldn’t know. Why don’t you ask the escorts? They surely know.

It’s hard on you, always thinking of your father when there’s something good, while others forget you. Why don’t you consider my master’s previous proposal?"

Gu Kaiyuan didn’t care about Mrs. Chen’s provocative words; after all, he had achieved half of his goal today.

Bai Suihe, "Husband, father never mentioned it before. Could there be a trap in this?

Could it be a trap set by those black-clothed men from before? Let’s quickly find the constable for help." Bai Suihe clutched her belly, her face full of anxiety.

"What you say makes sense," Gu Kaiyuan steadied the bowl and ran out directly, while Bai Suihe struggled to follow with her belly.

"Suihe, slow down," Gu Kaiyuan was still worried and turned back to remind, "I’ll go ahead and ask around."

Bai Suihe slowed her pace and said, "Then go quickly, we can’t let father and them encounter danger."

The commotion between the couple indeed caught attention, and some onlookers followed closely behind.

The Gu Family had several dramas a day, and everyone was curious about what new developments might come next.

When Bai Suihe arrived in the main hall, Gu Kaiyuan was already searching everywhere for his father.

"Shopkeeper, do you know where my father and them went?"

"Who’s your father?" The shopkeeper patted his belly, "Looking for your father all the way to me."

Everyone burst into laughter; at this point, the entire hall was filled with exiled people like them, and someone started jeering, "His father is Vice Minister Gu, no one in the capital doesn’t know."

"A Gu surname, huh, then I know. Someone previously arranged a few premium rooms for them and also a feast. What? They didn’t invite you?"

As soon as the shopkeeper said this, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone’s gazes turned peculiar.

Some people thought the Gu Family was indeed influential; even at such a time, there were people helping them.

Those familiar with the Gu Family pitied Gu Kaiyuan, then looked at the pregnant Ms. Bai behind him, whom even one like her was not accepted.

"Shopkeeper, could it be a mistake?

My father’s name is Gu Baijiang, and here I am with wontons for him to eat."

At this moment, Ma Zhi, who was eating, heard the commotion and came over, "The shopkeeper got it right; someone arranged a few premium rooms for your father. They’re on the third floor, in rooms 1 to 4."

Gu Kaiyuan looked dazed, and the wontons in his hand spilled over, "How could this be possible? Why wouldn’t my father tell us?"

"Why don’t you go up and see for yourself," said Daniu, descending from upstairs, "Room 1 is currently dining, and they just asked me for wine."

Bai Suihe looked distressed, "Husband, there must be some mistake; father and brother would never treat you like this."

Gu Kaiyuan, "I don’t believe it, I have to go up and see."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Instantly, there were people egging him on.

"If it’s true, those Gu Family Brothers really are something; how could they forget their own sibling?"

"Speaking of which, the main culprit is still that Mr. Gu. As a father, how could he not value his son, unless the son is not his own."

"If not his own, would he raise him this big and even marry him off?

At the end of the day, it’s just partiality."

Seeing that the situation was nearly heated enough, Gu Kaiyuan staggered towards the stairs, with Bai Suihe anxiously following behind.

She clearly saw earlier that Zhuang Datou and Huang Pingguo mixed with the crowd, stirring up trouble.

The Gu Family, having eaten their fill, contently patted their bellies, with eager eyes on Gu Baijiang.

"Still, it’s father, without you, Sir, we wouldn’t know how much more suffering we’d endure." Gu Kaichen’s eyes flitted, having long noticed the wooden box on the bed, which he could guarantee wasn’t from their home; he just didn’t know what was inside.

"Father," Gu Kaiping hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Did we forget the third brother’s family?"

The entire room fell silent. It wasn’t that they forgot, but no one wanted to bring it up.

Gu Baijiang sincerely had forgotten about this son, "Why didn’t you find them?"

Gu Kaichen, "...We thought father didn’t want..."

"Let it be, forgotten means forgotten," Gu Baijiang wasn’t bothered, "Bai’s family surely won’t let him suffer."

"You’re all about done eating; you should head back to your rooms and rest."

Saying this, he turned to Liu Yun, "You need to take good care of An Tong over there so nothing goes wrong."

"Yes, father," Liu Yun quickly responded, "I’ll go take care of the child now."

After saying that, she stood up, and didn’t forget to give Gu Kaiping a wink; Gu Kaiping also noticed the box on the bed and nodded slightly at her.
