Free Web NovelChapter 210: Chapter 210: Success
Mrs. Zhou noticed the realization in her daughter-in-law’s and granddaughter’s eyes and felt even more delighted. Indeed, reading countless books can’t compare to a lesson in reality.
After this incident today, they won’t suffer losses in this regard in the future.
The drama ahead continued. Seeing her eldest daughter faint on the ground, Xu Shuanghong rushed over in sorrow, holding Fan Meilin, "Meilin, what’s wrong with you? Don’t scare your mother. Mother’s got nothing left but you sisters. If anything happens to you again, I won’t survive either."
Beside her, Fan Meibao covered her face and cried, her voice melodious, calling "Sister, sister," making many people’s bones weaken.
Especially Gu Kaichen, whose Adam’s apple moved, his eyes fixated straight ahead.
Standing next to him, Xu Yulan didn’t notice his unusual state. Instead, Liu Yun caught it and immediately went to check on Gu Kaiping, seeing his expression normal, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing Gu Antong frowning, her heart, which had just settled, rose again, "Tong Er, are you sympathizing with them?"
Gu Antong shook her head slightly, "Mother, I’m just wondering what the origins of these three people are. I fear it’s not that simple."
In her heart, she was also worried. If people like this appeared in front of the Third Prince, would she still have a chance?
With hands clenched tightly, no, no matter how difficult the situation, she would not bow to such an extent.
Serving with beauty isn’t a long-term plan; she needs to think carefully.
"You’ve noticed it too," Liu Yun felt relieved now. As she thought, the daughter she painstakingly raised could not be fooled by such little tricks.
On the contrary, those coarse men have no idea about the tactics of the inner residences. They are now mesmerized, these three women might indeed have their way.
The number of people pleading increased. Liu Pingkang also knew that blocking here wasn’t a solution, and besides, those three people in front weren’t their prisoners, so force couldn’t be used.
He could only sigh and said, "We won’t meddle in your affairs. As long as someone is willing to take you in, you can travel along for a while.
But if you dare to cause any trouble during this, don’t blame me for sending you to the authorities."
Xu Shuanghong, holding onto Fan Meilin, kowtowed non-stop to everyone, "Thank you, thank you, kind sir, thank you, everyone."
Everyone thought the show would end there and everyone could go back to their business. Unexpectedly, when Xu Shuanghong sought help from the crowd, those eager men were dragged away by their elders or wives, leaving first.
Xu Shuanghong and her daughters, "..."
Earlier, there was a large group speaking well for them, why has everyone dispersed now? freewёbnoνel.com
"Mother?" Fan Meibao was a bit at a loss, this wasn’t what they had predicted, what should they do next?
Bai Suihe laughed out loud, and the Zhou family’s women followed suit.
Xu Shuanghong looked towards the laughter, even though this was a group destined for exile, why were these women dressed better than them? Just standing there made her feel a kind of unattainably low sense of inferiority.
She knew well that these people were mocking her and her daughters, but to live better, they had no other choice.
Knowing these people wouldn’t be kind, she didn’t waste time on them, starting to seek help elsewhere.
The "fainting" Fan Meilin was now "weakly" moving with Fan Meibao’s support.
"Good day to this madam, can we travel a short distance together? Your great kindness..."
Bai Suihe wanted to applaud Xu Shuanghong’s choice unexpectedly seeking help from Mrs. Chen.
Mrs. Chen, who came to watch the commotion with her family, didn’t expect to get involved. Even though her family had many bachelors, she dared not invite such trouble, "Madam, it’s not that we don’t want to help, but we are also having a hard time. You see, we rely on manpower to carry our loads as we travel, surviving on the rations provided by the escort on the way, we truly have no spare capacity to help."
Xu Shuanghong cursed her luck inwardly, encountering a poor ghost right away, but outwardly remained humble, "I was imprudent."
After speaking, she turned away without looking back and continued with her two daughters to find the next target.
"This kind sir..."
"Madam, gently, it hurts my ear..." Xu Shuanghong hadn’t said much before her chosen target disappeared before her eyes.
"This young master..."
"Get lost..."
"Miss..."
"Madam, I’m afraid I can’t help you, perhaps you could ask someone else?"
"..."
Bai Suihe and Mrs. Zhou didn’t rush to leave, as the group ahead was preparing to move.
"Grandmother, why won’t she ask us for help?" The little granddaughter of the Zhou family asked innocently.
Even though they knew those three had ulterior motives, they were standing right here, so why seek help far behind?
"That’s because they are smart and can see at a glance that there’s no benefit for them here.
Just watch, there will be more to see."
Bai Suihe was also curious about the mother and daughters’ target. What if someone in front agreed, what would they do then?
As they spoke, the group moved, and Mrs. Zhou said goodbye to Bai Suihe, boarding the carriage.
Bai Suihe didn’t head back but stood by the roadside waiting for her own ox-cart.
Seeing that the Gu family’s cart stopped in front, she somewhat regretted it, thinking she shouldn’t have been lazy and walked back instead.
"Third sister-in-law," Xu Yulan called out excitedly, "Hurry up and get on the cart."
This shout made it seem as though there were no conflicts between them.
"Second sister-in-law," since the other party greeted first, Bai Suihe naturally smiled back, "We won’t take up your space, you go ahead, our cart will arrive soon."
With Gu Kaiyuan gone, even the Gu family’s eldest grandson began pulling the ox-cart, the Gu family brothers pushing it on either side.
"It’s so cold outside, come up first," Liu Yun poked her head out, acting as if she cared, "Isn’t Third Brother too careless, letting you stand in the snow in this cold weather?
You can’t catch cold now, quickly come up, it’s warm in the cart."
Bai Suihe could already smell the strange odor emanating from the cart and couldn’t afford to be polite, stepping back two paces.
Gu Kaiyuan immediately stepped forward to support her, "What’s wrong?"
Bai Suihe just felt a bout of nausea, "Suddenly feel a bit like throwing up."
She still left some face for the other party, not mentioning the overpowering smell inside their cart.
Gu Kaiyuan also caught the smell in the air and, without a word, helped Bai Suihe stay far away from the ox-cart.
Gu Baijiang stared at them coldly. He hadn’t yet figured out how to deal with Gu Kaiyuan; internally, he felt he’d already given up on him.
Clearly capable yet unaware of how to protect the family, if they called him back, wouldn’t he defy them?
Thinking himself disadvantaged, seeking closeness with the wealthy Yue Family, he’ll regret it.
