Seeing Bai Suihe prick up her ears, Gu Kaichuan felt that the memories of his past life seemed to be of some use, "Their eldest son had a sister with a strong horoscope. When she was young, she was betrothed twice, but both times the men died before the wedding.
Later, when she reached the marriageable age, she married the man chosen for her. Who would have known that her second husband died on the third day of their wedding, so she became a widow.
In the countryside, widowhood and remarriage are very normal things. Unexpectedly, less than half a month after her second marriage, she was widowed again. This time, everyone had taboos, and even with an elder brother as the eldest son, no one dared to gamble with their lives.
Someone gave the bandit an idea: they could find her a husband outside, and if this man dared to disobey, they could beat him up and replace him without loss.
The eldest son listened, thought it over carefully, and thought it was indeed the case, so he really started robbing people on the road.
They had robbed before, but the robbed men felt it was a great humiliation and were unwilling to go back with them, so they struggled and resisted. Before they could do anything, they were killed."
Bai Suihe was dumbfounded, "Are you sure you're not telling some legendary story?
How can there be such a thing in this world? I say it's the men's bad luck, not the woman's fault.
Think about it, her elder brother does this kind of work, and the men she marries should be the same. They risk their lives every day, short lives are normal, how can you blame it all on the woman?"
Even though the other party was the bandit's sister, Bai Suihe couldn't help but defend her.
It was the men in the family who committed the sin, but the woman had to bear the blame.
"What you said is possible, but this time their vision was pretty good at first, they took a fancy to a constable, but later, for some reason, they actually took a fancy to Gu Kaichen and Chen Dafu's two sons."
Bai Suihe, "Are you a little regretful??" Regretful that they didn't take a fancy to him?
The book didn't describe it in such detail, it only said that the journey was very dangerous, and they encountered many waves of bandits.
They experienced all kinds of trials and tribulations before they ran across this forest.
Unexpectedly, there are such interesting things in it.
Bai Suihe is not worried about her safety at all. With two escort agencies and so many guards, even the constables could lead people to Lingnan, not to mention this time.
Gu Kaichuan leaned into her ear and whispered, "Except for Madam, even a celestial being wouldn't be of use to me..."
Bai Suihe felt her ears suddenly heat up and pushed him away, "Just speak, why get so close?"
"Between husband and wife, what distance can there be?" Since Baby told him that Bai Suihe had only temporarily forgotten him, Gu Kaichuan's previous unease had long since dissipated.
This is his wife, the person he will spend his life with, and he naturally needs to cultivate their feelings again.
And seeing Suihe's bashful appearance, she doesn't seem to be without feelings for him.
Bai Suihe didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise she would really have scolded him. Breathing on someone's ear would make anyone uncomfortable.
"Continue," Bai Suihe didn't want to continue on this topic, and quickly asked curiously, "Your second brother probably didn't know about this, and why did Chen Family's two children disagree? If they had gone, they wouldn't have suffered this exile."
"When we're done here, I'll take you to see the eldest son himself," Gu Kaichuan still has a deep impression of that person, because that person's image is too interesting.
Bai Suihe imagined many ugly characters, "Is he not good-looking?"
"Madam is wise," Gu Kaichuan flattered her, "If this snow keeps falling, it will soon cover him..."
"What about his appearance?"
Gu Kaichuan put his handsome face in front of her, "If the other person had a face like mine, perhaps the people he targeted wouldn't refuse."
Bai Suihe blocked his face with her hand and pushed him away, "You're so vain, don't change the subject, do you still remember his appearance?"
"I remember his appearance, a little uglier than Chen Dafu."
Bai Suihe laughed, "Master Chen isn't as ugly as you said, he's just a bit rough-looking, not like a scholar."
Gu Kaichuan didn't know whether to say that Bai Suihe could or couldn't compliment people, maybe she was just too kind.
"I'm not disdaining Master Chen," Gu Kaichuan thought for a while and continued, "I just don't like that he always finds excuses to appear in front of us. Everyone knows he's up to no good, but he seems to be unaware of it."
Bai Suihe smiled, her eyes curving, "How do you know he's unaware of it? Maybe he's doing it on purpose.
I think he's the one hiding the deepest. Who do you think he's working for?"
Gu Kaichuan had a rough guess in his past life, but he cooperated at this moment, "It certainly wouldn't be for a prince. With his personality, no prince would dare to provoke him. This guy might sell anyone out at the turn of a hand."
"Being a pro-imperialist has its advantages," Bai Suihe didn't have much ill will towards Chen Dafu, "Those in power actually prefer people like this."
Gu Kaichuan neither confirmed nor denied it. To say he liked such people was an exaggeration; it was more about balance and utilization.
The two were chatting and laughing, but the atmosphere ahead was awkward, because at this time, the bandit leader pointed at Gu Kaichen, the two Chen children, and two other young men, "You few, just follow me, and I'll make sure you have the best of everything."
"..." Is this rape? Shouldn't they be targeting female relatives? Don't these people have special preferences?
Gu Kaichen used to like going to places of entertainment and naturally knew about minor officials. Now, seeing these people staring at him, he was so scared that he quickly hid behind Gu Kaiping and quietly covered his buttocks.
Gu Kaiping hurriedly moved away from Gu Kaichen.
But Gu Kaichen seemed to be glued to him, following him everywhere, "Elder brother, you can't ignore me."
"How can I ignore it, they're interested in you." If the other party were a group of women, Gu Kaiping might feel a little unbalanced, after all, among the brothers, he considered himself the best-looking.
But these men? Forget it, let Gu Kaichen have them.
"I'm a normal man," Gu Kaichen was about to cry, feeling that these bandits were blind. Even Xu Yulan, that wretched woman, was better-looking than him, not to mention Antong and the other delicate young ladies.
"I'm telling you, what are you hiding for? Don't push your luck. Come with me obediently, and I'll consider letting your families go."
"..."
