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

Gu Kaiping didn’t know what An Tong was trying to do by stopping the ox cart, but he knew as soon as she opened her mouth that it was going to be trouble.

"An Tong, what are you saying?" Gu Kaiping really didn’t approve of her doing this, it was making the family shame public.

Their conflict with Kai Yuan was actually known to many people, even though no one said anything, he knew some of the private discussions.

People tended to side with Kai Yuan, saying that they were heartless.

Before coming here, he thought that if he couldn’t persuade Kai Yuan this time, he would try to ease the relationship between the two sides, Kai Yuan couldn’t really just wash his hands of it.

"Dad, we’ve already been lowering ourselves, but Third Uncle and Aunt are still being relentless, clinging to past issues, and I’m anxious, wanting them to give an explanation.

No matter who’s at fault, everyone should lay it out and clarify it, there’s no need for a family to make such a scene, adding to the jokes."

"You know it’s a joke," Gu Kaiping lowered his voice and squeezed out, "Don’t you think about your reputation."

How could she be so foolish, this was hurting the enemy by a hundred while harming herself by a thousand, how could a junior criticize her elders like this? What was she thinking?

An Tong’s face turned pale, but in her heart, she hated Kai Yuan, her Third Uncle was trying to ruin her reputation...

"Dad, we should have Grandpa step in." An Tong didn’t believe that if Gu Baijiang personally went, this Kai Yuan and Bai Suihe would still not show respect.

"Your Grandpa can’t possibly bow to your Third Uncle, there are many things here you need to think through slowly.

You’re not that young anymore, don’t be so rash all the time.

Usually, learn some female virtues from your mother, and control your emotions."

Gu Kaiping knew he couldn’t continue speaking with Kai Yuan and could only take An Tong back as they spoke.

But many things aren’t something a father can teach; he could only go back and really talk to Liu Yun.

He didn’t know what was up with Liu Yun, she usually had a lot of principles, and was somewhat clever, how did she teach her daughter to be like this?

In the past, when they were in the mansion, she seemed fine, why was her temper so impatient?

Fortunately, today everyone was busy packing up to leave, and no one noticed here, otherwise, An Tong’s reputation would definitely suffer.

What kind of annoying things happen every day? There’s not one day that’s smooth.

Thinking of this, he felt his left arm hurt again, not knowing if those medicines worked, and because it’s cold, he hadn’t changed his dressing today.

He didn’t want to end up like his mother, with his wound getting worse, and regret it too late.

Bai Suihe teased, "If you keep this up, your family will say you’re living off a woman."

Kai Yuan didn’t care, "I like living off a woman, I can’t digest a hard meal, they want it but can’t have it.

It’s just that they keep coming over, affecting the mood, it seems that recently Grand Uncle hasn’t settled accounts with them, letting them be idle."

Bai Suihe, "Perhaps your Grand Uncle can’t attend to it now, didn’t you say some clan members got injured before?"

Encountering so many bandits, even if the Gu Family was united, they couldn’t protect everyone, the day before yesterday, Kai Yuan specially sent them some medicine, but yesterday in a hurry to go hunting in the mountains, he didn’t have time to visit.

"Indeed, before these were ordinary folks, where had they seen such a situation?

The other day they panicked, and without handy weapons, could only fend for themselves with numbers, if you ask me those bandits had no eye for the moment, not targeting specific people."

Bai Suihe sympathized with the Gu family members, they were dozens of old and young people who could have lived a peaceful life despite poverty.

But it was all due to the Gu Family, dragging them into this.

Regardless of who you place this upon, they would feel unbalanced.

If Kaiyuan hadn’t stopped him that day, Gu Li would have completely expelled the entire Gu Family on the spot.

Later, Gu Baijiang was vindicated, but he didn’t even mention the entire Gu Family, yet he just took his family and left for the capital, while the Gu Family stayed in Lingnan.

In the later Chapters of the book, the Gu family wasn’t even mentioned anymore, thinking about it now, it really wasn’t worth it.

"Didn’t we prepare a lot of medicine, why don’t we send some more over?" Bai Suihe’s compassion arose, remembering they bought things to keep warm at the time, but no medicine. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"When we stop to rest, I’ll go ask," Kai Yuan didn’t refuse, hoping Grand Uncle would help in the future, offering help at a critical time was a good idea.

As for Gu Kaiping returning empty-handed, Gu Kaichen directly tossed the ox rope into his hands, "Big Brother, today you pull the ox cart first, I didn’t sleep well last night, I have to take a short nap."

He wasn’t curious about what happened to Gu Kaiping, thinking it was just nothing more than a fruitless endeavor.

If he asked, that would be true folly, not drawing all the anger towards Kai Yuan onto himself.

"I’m still injured," Gu Kaiping also wanted to rest.

"So what if you’re injured? It’s not a critical part." Gu Kaichen was already walking back, "Big Brother, you’re our role model, you should set a good example for us.

If it’s really impossible, you can let Anliang learn well from you, such a big lad can completely take over your work."

Gu Anchen thought he was still quite conscientious, having just climbed into the carriage, he said to Gu Anliang, "Big nephew, your dad’s arm is hurt, he has to lead the ox, as a son, you don’t feel any heartache, still sitting in the carriage resting, enjoying your father’s work."

Liu Yun, "Second Brother, what are you saying? You, as a younger brother, don’t know to care for your elder brother..."

"Stop, Sister-in-law, I’m not made of iron, I already pulled for half an hour more yesterday, can’t they always make me lose out.

Moreover, his left arm is injured, not the right, it doesn’t affect his walking.

I’m having a good discussion with my great nephew, to let him be filial by his elder brother’s side."

Liu Yun, "..." What gods or spirits did Gu Kaiping offend in his past life? Only for these two brothers to come torment him in this life.

Other brothers always support each other, but the Gu Family can’t wait to stab each other, in the mansion before, she didn’t feel it, now this idea is becoming more apparent.

"Sister-in-law, don’t look at me like that, if you really can’t bear to let my great nephew suffer, how about you do it instead.

Nearby households also have women driving carts and leading oxen, if Sister-in-law really does that, it will definitely earn praise, calling you virtuous and capable."

Liu Yun, "You and Third Brother really live up to being full brothers, such a sharp tongue."

In her heart, she secretly resented, compared to them, Gu Kaiping is like a stubborn block of wood, not knowing flexibility and not having such oratory skills.
