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

Gu Kaiyuan clutched his stomach, asking in pain, "So the two sides started fighting?"

"They started fighting, but by the time I got there, they’d almost finished..." Gu Anwei seemed to have thought of something, and added, "Now Grandpa is debating with the Zhou Family, still arguing over there."

"What about Mrs. Zhou and her people?" Bai Suihe knew there wouldn’t be any accidents, but just in case?

"They’re watching the spectacle from the sidelines..." Even a child knew the Zhou Family’s affairs, so Gu Anwei naturally knew what Bai Suihe wanted to ask.

Gu Kaiyuan weakly leaned against Bai Suihe’s shoulder, "In my current condition, I won’t go embarrass the family. You should quickly tell your grandfather that if Mrs. Zhou and her people join in, go find the Clan Leader for help."

Gu Anwei suspected that his third uncle was deliberate. Honestly, Grandpa and Zhou Gang were somewhat similar—in their ingratitude.

If Mrs. Zhou doesn’t help, will the Gu Family be willing to help?

But it’s warm here, and he really didn’t want to go back. It was chaotic over there, and might turn into a fight. It’s better to be lazy here.

Seeing the kid still sitting there motionless, Gu Kaiyuan didn’t beat around the bush either, directly urging him, "Quickly go back and tell your grandfather, and remember to tell him I’m unwell, it’s truly not that I’m an unfilial son."

Gu Anwei hadn’t yet honed such a thick skin, so he reluctantly stood up and slowly walked away from the fire, then started running towards the Gu Family direction.

"Such a schemer," Bai Suihe pushed his head away, even when the person had already left, he was still pretending, "As expected of your Gu Family."

Gu Kaiyuan said, "Madam, you shouldn’t say this, I am a unique member of the Gu Family, but I do my duty."

Bai Suihe gave him a look for him to ponder himself, "There will definitely be a fight later, I’m just not sure who will suffer this time."

With escorts present, it had calmed down over there, but Zhou Gang was a real scoundrel, who would not let it go easily.

Gu Kaiyuan said, "The Gu Family will have to pay a price to settle this, I just wonder who it will be this time..."

Gu Baijiang saw his little grandson returning alone, felt irritated, but now was not the time to bother about it.

At this moment, Zhou Gang was sitting boldly in front of him, ignoring the escorts who were watching him closely, and yet he did not make a move.

"Mr. Gu, you and I previously served in court together, there are some ties, but I don’t know where my little daughter offended your eldest daughter, causing her embarrassment in public, and almost costing her life.

Even with the officials present, you have to give us an explanation.

Though our Zhou Family has fallen into hard times, we still have spirit; if you can’t give me a satisfactory answer, then we shall not rest until it’s resolved."

Zhou Gang had long taken a disliking to Gu Baijiang, if they were in court, he would surely accuse him of colluding with the Third Prince to form factions and oppress the populace...

"Mr. Zhou, this is all a misunderstanding, just children’s squabbling." Gu Baijiang didn’t take Zhou Gang seriously, he was already abandoned by the Emperor and all the princes, with no hope for a comeback, calling him Mr. Zhou was only a formality.

"Is this squabbling?

Moreover, your eldest daughter is old enough to marry, how can you say ’children’?"

After speaking, Zhou Gang pulled his daughter over, "My daughter is just over ten, and I wouldn’t dare say she’s a child."

Mrs. Zhou, looking distressed, helped her daughter tidy her clothes; earlier Gu Antong had torn off her skirt’s hem, practically ruining her daughter’s reputation. If word spread, how could she find a good match in the future?

Not right, it had already spread, many people saw it today, so this matter couldn’t just end like this.

"I will have Antong apologize to your niece," Gu Baijiang had no choice, but had to help smooth things over for Gu Antong.

He noticed, since the Third Prince arrived, Gu Antong’s temper grew too, her voice becoming increasingly assertive.

Yet it was fine for her to act up within the family, but what harm did a young girl cause her, it doesn’t sound good when spread around.

"Apologize?" Zhou Gang was never one for letting others off easily, he would not hold back, "Not everything can be solved with an apology; I actually have a solution."

"Willing to hear more." Gu Baijiang had a bad feeling, fearing Zhou Gang’s so-called solution would not be simple.

"Simply let your eldest granddaughter experience what my daughter experienced."

Gu Antong’s face changed suddenly, with a grim expression, "Don’t push it.

If that little girl hadn’t fanned me while passing by, I wouldn’t have acted; even if an apology is necessary, she should be the one to apologize." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Such a venomous woman," Mrs. Zhou pointed at Gu Antong and cursed, "Just from an accidental brush with a skirt’s hem, you retaliated so viciously, displaying such malice; you should let everyone judge, how did the hem ’fan’ you?

Did it fan your face? Or injure you?

I’ve seen shamelessness before, but never like yours.

A fairly young and pretty girl, yet your words are so toxic and foolish?

I understand, you think by cozying up to the Third Prince, you can be a notch above others?

Let me tell you, stop dreaming, with your dubious status, the royal family will never acknowledge you, even if the Third Prince fancies you, at most you’d be an unnamed mistress."

She then turned angrily to Zhou Gang, "Husband, I don’t agree with what you just said, I must have her pay double.

Moreover, you still have acquaintances at court, when we reach the next post station, write to your friends and have them petition the Emperor, denouncing Mr. Gu for his failed parental guidance, mingling unduly without a matchmaker during exile, violating female virtues, and deceiving the royal family..."

"Enough," No wonder it’s the Imperial Censor family, fabricating charges effortlessly, there’s no need to say they’ll petition the Emperor, if these words spread, the Gu Family would be utterly disgraced.

Gu Baijiang couldn’t hold back any longer, "Mr. Zhou, you’re letting your wife slander us..."

"Mr. Gu, whether it’s slander, everyone knows," Zhou Gang snorted coldly, indeed, if it’s not your own pain, it’s hard to feel, and he couldn’t bear it anymore?

"Before in the capital, Mr. Gu truly put on quite a show, all these scandals covered up very well.

No wonder it’s this false persona of yours that brought forth such a wicked granddaughter.

If today is not handled our way, this matter will not be over."

Zhou Gang knew what it meant when the influential left you behind, those court acquaintances would surely not risk offending the Third Prince for his sake, but it was important for him to maintain face, making the Gu Family cautious.

As for the Emperor, eventually he would realize his intentions, all he did before was for the royal family’s interest; if the Emperor didn’t restrain these sons, the court would one day fall into chaos.
