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

Originally thought this night would pass peacefully, but who knew that odd sound would come again once night fell.

Bai Suihe, "Can’t it be something more natural?

By now, frogs aren’t that active."

Kai Yuan, "Let them be, it’s likely people sent by the Third Prince are coming, maybe even the Prince himself."

Bai Suihe immediately sat up, she’s never seen a Prince before, "I always forget to ask, has the Third Prince married?"

If memory serves, An Tong entered the residence as a concubine, went through household strife, and gradually rose in rank. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

At the time, it seemed quite pleasing, but now as a sacrificial pawn, the feeling isn’t so gratifying.

"The primary consort has been decided, and the secondary consort will be chosen in the next selection.

Originally, An Tong aimed for the secondary consort position, who knew the old man would be willing to take the blame this time.

This change in status naturally brings different treatment."

Bai Suihe, "What do you think your father is aiming for?"

"Aiming for merit from supporting the dragon.

Did he really think the silver he intercepted would belong to the Gu Family? In the end, it would just be a wedding gown for others.

Boarding the Third Prince’s ship, he should be prepared for the worst.

If he had smoothly handed over the silver at that time, there wouldn’t have been several pursuits afterwards.

Hiding and tucking it away like this only makes those few masters angry, and soon we will be caught up in it too."

Bai Suihe deeply resonated, because she would be the next victim, "Husband, I’ll need your protection hereafter."

Kai Yuan raised his eyebrows at her, mouth sweet only when in need.

"We’ve already moved far away from them, if chaos erupts, do not run around."

Bai Suihe highly valued her life, nodded quickly, "I’ll stick by your side, but you also need to be cautious, these people mainly target your father, to them, insignificant people like us could be dealt with in one stroke."

Still couldn’t resist curiosity, Bai Suihe secretly lifted a corner of the curtain and saw Liu Pingkang and them already standing in front of the carriage, holding up their knives in a confrontation.

"Have a look at this," at this time, a person dressed in black threw a token to Liu Pingkang, "Know how to restrain your tongue, right?"

Liu Pingkang’s pupils shrank, hurriedly handed the token back, "I haven’t seen anything tonight."

Heart in distress though, previously feeling this trip was comfortable, now it felt life-threatening.

The person in black was pleased with Liu Pingkang’s sensibility, directly took Gu Baijiang away.

"Father?" Gu Kaiping mustered courage to chase after.

"Father is fine," Gu Baijiang instructed without turning his head, "I’ll be back soon."

The Third Prince revealed his tracks, definitely wouldn’t make things difficult for himself.

Besides, he has uses now, even if only for appearance before other followers, the Third Prince can’t kill the donkey when it’s done grinding.

At a lavish carriage, the curtain was already lifted by a pretty maid, Gu Baijiang dared not to look more, hastily lowered his head, respectfully knelt.

"Lord Gu suffered along the way," a clear voice sounded, "This Prince worried these days, rushed over swiftly once free from state affairs, made Lord Gu suffer the grievances.

I’ve heard about your wife’s situation, I’ve ordered the capture of the true culprit, will give Lord Gu an explanation."

Rong Ruiyuan had already stepped out from the carriage, raised Gu Baijiang himself.

Gu Baijiang still had some use now, he had to keep a hold of him.

If he ignored the Gu Family, it would be detrimental to his great cause.

This trip was to ensure Gu Baijiang’s understanding, he wouldn’t mind offering him a lifetime of wealth after the matter is accomplished.

"The criminal is guilty, causing trouble for the master," Gu Baijiang was now shedding tears, "My wife saved me from her plight, pity she accompanied me for so much in life, yet ended so abruptly."

Ming Peifeng arched his brows watching this scene, Gu’s rise to a high position had its unique aspects.

What happened to the Gu Madam, he naturally knew, just didn’t expect someone deceased still used as leverage by Gu Baijiang.

Third Prince Rong Ruiyuan assured with comfort again, when both aired respective difficulties, it was time to enter negotiation.

Gu Baijiang, "Master, all my life I’ve wished to clear grievances, let the Gu Family live a stable life."

"Lord Gu, rest assured, I will find someone to maneuver by the emperor."

"Thank you, master, I know master wouldn’t let things slide, if that day comes, I will repay master’s great kindness."

Ming Peifeng glanced, Gu Baijiang indeed had boldness, even when things got to this point, dared to bargain with the master.

Seems his guess was correct, if the master doesn’t help clear Gu Baijiang’s record, he wouldn’t hand over his holdings.

Rong Ruiyuan easily picked up on it, but his voice remained gentle, "Lord Gu means well, yet court politics are intricate, needs careful plotting.

My few brothers, unknown from where they heard, might come to trouble Lord Gu again..."

"If can’t safely reach the place of exile, that is my fate, can only let nature run its course."

This truly was not showing the rabbit without catching the eagle, each plotted their own.

"This Prince won’t disregard Lord Gu, can clear some obstacles for you, however sword and saber are merciless, should it happen like Madam Gu previously, this Prince would be more guilty."

"Then it’s the destiny of the Gu Family," Gu Baijiang now sweating intensely, if the Third Prince didn’t care, relying on the escort’s fancy moves, their family was doomed.

"But my life doesn’t matter, yet there are innocent young ones at home, hope master provides a way for them."

"You wish to entrust them to me?

This puts me in a difficult position, Gu Family in exile, locals still have to accept, doesn’t comply with regulations."

Rong Ruiyuan tapped his thigh, could create a fake death, yet other brothers watching, hard to maintain perfection.

This also indirectly handed leverage to those brothers, something he wasn’t pleased to see.

"Never dare to expect such, if the masters learned, it’s disadvantageous to master." Gu Baijiang spoke earnestly, "Now dare not hope for official path, only wish master remembers my loyal steadfastness, to throw off the charge of convict, and satisfied."

Still demanding Rong Ruiyuan to overturn charges, yet that was not easy.

Claiming to think for future generations, yet could bypass this old rogue?

"Lord Gu, certainly master will consider these matters, now should we speak to the main topic?" Ming Peifeng received Rong Ruiyuan’s look, promptly stepped forward, spoke lowly.

Lord Gu’s courage indeed large, knowing the master’s intent, still went around it here.
