Carrying a Lucky Charm, I Thrive with My Husband on the Road to Exile Chapter 215: Reactions

Xu Yulan always knew her sister-in-law had so skills, but she didn’t expect her to be this formidable, classifying the two maids with just a few words.

If it had been before, she certainly wouldn’t have wanted Gu Antong to have two more maids around her; she would have definitely split one off.

But this ti, she thought her sister-in-law did an excellent job. After all, as an uncle, it wouldn’t be appropriate to harbor ill intentions towards his niece’s maids.

Liu Yun saw Xu Yulan’s ingratiating look and smiled, "Second sister-in-law is right, fortunately, today we brought two maids to do so work and familiarize themselves."

Xu Shuanghong seed a bit uneasy at the mont, "Baijiang, why don’t I go help with the work too?"

Gu Baijiang said, "You’ve just arrived today and must be tired, so take a good rest today. There will be plenty of opportunity for work later."

Xu Shuanghong, "..." I was just being polite, so starting tomorrow, I have to work too...

When everyone saw the mother and daughter trio join the Gu Family, they were expecting a show, but the mont things settled, they imdiately started helping, making many people regret their earlier actions.

They had lived in luxury all their lives; these days had been the hardest. If they had agreed earlier to keep them, they would have had three servants in exchange for so grain. How could they have not thought of such a good deal?

This Gu Baijiang is truly cunning, taking both the good na and the benefits.

Over at Chen Dafu’s place, Mrs. Chen was also enduring complaints from a few single sons and grandsons.

They clearly had the chance to get rid of their single status without even a bride price, with capable won presenting themselves right before them, just to let them slip away.

Mrs. Chen really didn’t want to explain to these unruly boys and directly dragged Chen Dafu over, "They’re from your Chen Family, you deal with them."

Chen Dafu then faced his sons and grandsons with a cold expression and said, "The mouth of a bamboo snake, the sting on a wasp’s tail, both are nothing compared to a woman’s heart. With your kind of behavior, do you think you can handle it?

If you really think you have what it takes, co to for a share of the family property and set up your own household.

I don’t want to end up facing a life-threatening disaster one day because of your stupidity."

As the mainstay of this family, and also its decision-maker, Chen Dafu’s words imdiately quelled their restive hearts.

Seeing that they were no longer speaking, Chen Dafu shook his head and left, feeling too exhausted. Let it be destroyed, these people are impossible to manage.

But as the Family Head of the Chen Family, even if he couldn’t manage them, he could only persist. After all, it was all his own doing. If he knew they would be so useless, he would have rather castrated himself.

Approaching old age, with one foot in the grave, he still had to strive for their future. There was no one more unfortunate than him.

He had to find soone to vent his feelings to, now that Gu Kaiyuan is getting farther and farther away; it’s really not easy to make a trip...

Bai Suihe listened to the gossip collected by the two maids. It turned out that when they went to wash clothes, they happened to run into Liu Yun and her group.

At that ti, the young madam’s glance at them made Dongi chuckle just thinking about it. She didn’t know what there was to be so smug about.

"Those two maids must have an unusual background. Their every smile and frown seem like they’d practiced hundreds of tis. Even though I’m a woman, I couldn’t help being a bit moved seeing them." Chunxiang hung the clothes near the fire, so they would be dry by morning.

However, the night watch must keep an eye out, being mindful of the wind, or else the clothes might get burned.

"I’ve heard before that so affluent families raise thin horses. Do you think they might be of such origin?" Dongi was curious, "A good woman from a decent family couldn’t possibly make such movents."

"My sister-in-law loves to compete. I hope she succeeds this ti." Bai Suihe said this, but she wasn’t worried about Liu Yun. After all, Liu Yun was the heroine’s mother and couldn’t suffer at the hands of these nobodies.

It’s just that the mother and daughter from the Xu Family, who never appeared in the book, made it even more unusual.

"Have you found out why the Gu Family took them in?"

"Miss, I found out," Dongi imdiately said excitedly, "That Xu Shuanghong is an old acquaintance with Mr. Gu, and I heard she calls him directly by his na.

And I’ve also heard that Mr. Gu is very considerate towards Xu Shuanghong. They’ve been chatting happily from the mont they t until now."

"Miss, do you think Mr. Gu might remarry?" Chunxiang was also full of gossip. Fortunately, the miss now no longer involved herself with the Gu Family; otherwise, she would have to deal with a new mother-in-law.

They forgot, if Gu Baijiang indeed took another wife, even if just a stepmother, the daughter-in-law Bai Suihe could be in for trouble.

"That possibility can’t be ruled out," Bai Suihe didn’t believe n were ever truly affectionate, not to ntion soone like Gu Baijiang.

"Should we try to stop it?" Dongi whispered, reminding that the Gu Family was already troubleso enough and couldn’t let their forces grow stronger.

Bai Suihe shook her head, "Soone will be more anxious than us. We just need to watch from the sidelines and let them battle it out."

Thinking of the people from the Gu Family, Dongi realized, "Miss makes sense, but should we tell the master?"

Bai Suihe, "No need, he should have received word by now."

There’s no way Gu Kaiyuan would let an unknown variable remain, exactly as Bai Suihe predicted.

Sure enough, over at Gu Kaiyuan’s side, he listened to what Lin Hua and others had gathered, not much different from Bai Suihe’s side.

"Keep an eye on what’s happening over there for the next few days. Get the information, but don’t act rashly." Having instructed, Gu Kaiyuan took so wine to find two guards. A drink in this weather could ward off the chill and strengthen bonds.

As for the origins of those three won, there’s no need to speculate much. The way Xu Shuanghong remained unfazed and bantered with Gu Baijiang’s ugly face already showed they had ulterior motives.

You say they’re old acquaintances? That’s even more coincidental. Not seeing each other for over ten years and eting in such a remote place is so unbelievable that even a fool wouldn’t buy it.

Gu Baijiang might be planning sothing, but he doesn’t want to intervene much and just wants to quietly watch them self-destruct.

"Brother, your father is truly blessed." But receiving such teasing from others, Gu Kaiyuan felt like even being far away, he still got dragged into it.

"Drink, let’s not talk about this." Gu Kaiyuan raised his glass with a wry smile, "One is willing to hit, the other is willing to endure. As their children, we have no right to say anything."

"That’s true," Liu Pingkang raised his glass, "The test for the n of your Gu Family has arrived. We’ll see if it’s your father or brother who gets ensnared first."

Upon hearing this, both guards awkwardly lowered their heads. It was unclear if Liu Pingkang did it unintentionally or deliberately, but rubbing salt on soone’s wound—wasn’t that a bit much?
