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

"Kai Yuan, you know Big Brother has always been so hypocritical," Gu Kaichen stood up, brushed off the snow on his body, and said sarcastically, "Being the sole favorite in the family for so long, he can’t stand anyone challenging his authority.

What does it matter if they have ulterior motives, I have my ulterior motives too.

It’s just right that we both get what we want."

As for who will win in the end? That’s up to our skills.

Gu Kaichen pretends quite well at home, but he’s also famed for being a playboy in the capital, despite not taking concubines, there are plenty of women outside.

Otherwise, with Xu Yulan’s good figure, it’s impossible she would only have one child.

"..." Seeing the mixed-up appearances of the two brothers, Gu Kaiping felt powerless, wishing they’d still listen like they used to.

"Besides, do you think stopping Dad now means he won’t find us a stepmother in the future?

If we really wait until we return to the capital and find someone of equal status or from a prestigious family, Big Brother, can you suppress it? 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Now, I even feel Ms. Xu isn’t bad, she’s all alone, as long as we catch her weakness or find her soft spot, even if her background isn’t clean, she wouldn’t dare do anything."

Gu Kai Yuan looked at his second brother as if he were a stranger, impressive, he didn’t learn much from the academy, but he’s picked up plenty of sly tricks.

Gu Kaiping snorted coldly, "You say it so easily, tell me what weakness or soft spot she has?"

Gu Kaichen’s voice carried excitement, "Isn’t it obvious? She’s a woman, appearing conveniently before us, we can directly ask who ordered her, we’ve seen through her, as long as she honestly confesses, we can have Dad accept her."

"As for the soft spot," Gu Kaichen chuckled evilly, "her two daughters.

Don’t say my brother doesn’t care about you as the elder brother, the two of us can each take one, make them part of our household, and then everyone’s tied together."

Gu Kai Yuan quietly stepped back, worried he might catch their stupidity.

Gu Kaiping was dumbfounded, "Are you really our brother?"

Gu Kai Yuan used to seem foolish and easy to manipulate, but after all this time, it’s clear he’s the one hiding the deepest.

In contrast, the longer he spends with Gu Kaichen, the more he finds his mind works differently from others, could it be the influence of the Xu family? Like the maternal grandfather?

He looked at Gu Kai Yuan and noticed his evasive attitude, none of them are worry-free.

"How could I not be your brother? Look at how I resemble Mom." Gu Kaichen said, then looked at Gu Kai Yuan with disdain, "If anyone’s not a true brother, it should be the third one."

Gu Kaiping said, "...Kai Yuan resembles Grandmother the most."

When Grandmother passed away, Gu Kaichen was just a little toddler, it’s understandable he doesn’t remember, but Gu Kaiping was taken care of by Grandmother for several years, so he certainly remembers.

"..." Gu Kai’s heart was somewhat doubtful, why hadn’t they mentioned this before?

And if Kai Yuan looks most like Grandmother, shouldn’t he be the favored one?

But without more time to think, Gu Kaiping continued, "Don’t think you’re the only smart one, what you can think of, others have already thought.

I even suspect, they’re not real mother and daughter, do you see any resemblance between them?"

"They might resemble the father, or like you said, resemble other ancestors."

Gu Kai Yuan watched the two brothers go back and forth, worried that Gu Kaiping might truly faint from anger soon.

"Think whatever you want, just don’t drag us down with your foolishness," Gu Kaiping realized this stubbornness and decided he couldn’t be guided, nor did he want to, "As for family secrets, if you dare leak them, we’ll be stuck in Lingnan forever."

Suddenly feeling regret, why did he tell Gu Kaichen about family matters, this is really Kai Yuan’s fault, if that kid hadn’t exposed it, Gu Kaichen would at most have had suspicions.

"Big Brother, I’m not that stupid," Gu Kaichen rolled his eyes, feeling underestimated, "I’m lustful but I value my life, I still rely on Dad and you to return us to the capital, what kind of beauties can’t be found there, this is just to kill time when bored, I understand the difference."

Regardless of belief, Gu Kaiping had no choice now, "If you get it, good, I suspect they’re here precisely for this.

But I still advise you not to touch them, our family can’t withstand internal strife now."

After speaking, he turned to Gu Kai Yuan, "Are you just going to watch our family fall deeper into danger?"

Gu Kai Yuan said, "Big Brother, do you want me to intervene?

Rain falls, mother wants to marry, father wants to remarry, it’s all the same, we as sons can’t stop it.

Moreover, don’t you think you’re over worrying? If you can think of the problem, do you think Dad hasn’t?

I think you should talk to him privately, don’t end up with good intentions causing bad outcomes."

After finishing, Gu Kai Yuan was about to leave, surprised when Gu Kaiping quickly blocked his way, "With three more people, it’s getting crowded, your side has more women, why not have the sisters stay on your side?"

Gu Kai Yuan was amused, "Big Brother, what are you playing at now? Trying to pass the buck?"

Gu Kai Yuan didn’t give any face, directly tearing into him, "We agreed before, keeping the peace between us, isn’t that better?

Or do you want me as your brother to add fuel to the fire, so you won’t live too comfortably and go seeking trouble."

Gu Kai Yuan’s eyes carried a threat, Gu Kaiping retreated several steps in fear, feeling his elder brother’s authority was challenged, with a dark face, he said harshly, "I can have them take their rations with them."

Gu Kai Yuan ignored him and looked at Gu Kaichen, "Second Brother, Big Brother is planning to send your flower sisters out, what do you think?"

Gu Kaichen, "Don’t listen to Big Brother, though it’s a bit crowded, crowded is warmer."

Saying this, he started chuckling mysteriously again.

Gu Kai Yuan gave Gu Kaiping a provocative glance before stepping away.

"Can you have some ambition?" With the schemer leaving, Gu Kaiping cursed in frustration, "I was just saying, Gu Kai Yuan surely won’t agree, when we send more of the little ones over, will he refuse?"

"Big Brother, don’t be so self-righteous," Gu Kaichen clearly didn’t believe him, "With the ice and snow everywhere, everyone prefers gathering by the fire than lying in a cold carriage, living space isn’t an issue.

As for fitting in, that’s not a problem either; sometimes riding is less comfortable than walking."
