Chapter 385 Realistic Dilemma
Rescuing the grandson of the emperor from the hands of the murderer is enough to try to ask the saint for grace in exchange for amnesty. If he can't save the whole family, at least Bai Kou can get out alone.

But the problem is that she is too young, [-]% for men, and [-]% for women, which is the minimum requirement for men and women to establish their own families. Bai Kou is only thirteen years old this year. To open a female household, she still has to be entrusted to the care of her relatives.

The immediate relatives of grandfather Bai Yehong have all been exiled. If she is freed, Bai Kou, as a descendant of the Bai family, must first be handed over to her uncles and cousins ​​to be raised by the government. These collateral relatives who do not know the details I don't know if they will properly raise Bai Kou. If greed is aroused, Bai Kou's ability to make money is aroused, and under the banner of the elders and family members, Bai Kou will play the same way. to suffer again.

Thinking of this, Gu Yun suddenly realized why Bai Kou was so low-key, as long as she was rewarded, she would be satisfied. I'm afraid she would have thought of this earlier, instead of regaining her freedom and living an unknown life in an unfamiliar relative's house, it would be better to stay in a daze. To be the proud little steward in Ye State Duke's mansion, which she holds all the power in one hand.

Only by staying in Duke Ye's mansion can he have the opportunity to continue to earn credits, and accumulate a few more credits. Maybe when the saint is in a good mood, it is possible to pardon her whole family if he is merciful.

Realizing that Bai Kou might really be able to earn his freedom back in the future, Gu Yun felt a little depressed. A capable girl like Bai Kou was hard to find with a lantern. If she really left, what would he do?Where can I find another person who can replace her?

How about being less selfish and converting all credits into cash and leaving her to serve her for the rest of her life?

After thinking about it, Gu Yun felt that the possibility was not very high. As a steward who was close to him, he knew all the secrets of his master. Sooner or later, he would figure out that he was playing tricks behind his back. , the unlucky one is himself, and he doesn't know how she will retaliate.

He was reluctant to let go, and forced to stay may not necessarily lead to good results. Gu Yun was caught in a dilemma for a while. He didn't know what to do. It's not a taste in every way.

Looking at Bai Kou's sleeping face, Gu Yun wrapped his fingers around the hair on the sideburns around her ears, curling them round and round, without any idea, sighed a few times, and hugged Bai Kou into his arms even tighter. , and then close your eyes and sleep for a while.

I don't know how long this sleep has been. When Bai Kou woke up, the carriage was still moving, and the light in the carriage was dim because the curtains on three sides were drawn. She wanted to sit up and see where she was going, but with just a slight movement, Gu Yun was in a hurry. After waking up, before she opened her eyes, she took Bai Kou into her arms to prevent her from sitting up.

"Don't move, be careful not to fall."

"Look where it is."

Bai Kou still pushed Gu Yun away, sat up slowly, put on his shoes, and opened the curtain of the side window to look out at the street scene. They just walked to the area of ​​Zhongfang, and there is still some distance before returning to the mansion. The two of them didn't sleep for a long time during this afternoon nap.

Knowing where he is now, Bai Kou opened the curtains to brighten up the compartment, then added a few pieces of charcoal to the firepit, and put a small kettle on to boil water to make tea.

Gu Yun lazily wrapped the blanket around his body, pushed the cushion to the corner of the carriage, and nestled comfortably inside while waiting for the hot tea.

After a while, the two drank hot tea without speaking, each in a daze.

Bai Kou opened her notepad and wrote down all the expenses of the day outside. Unexpectedly, the carriage stopped abruptly. Bai Kou almost slipped and sat on the firepit. Gu Yun hurriedly dragged her back to the box and hugged her in his arms. .

After the guard asked the young master nervously outside the car that everything was alright, the two people in the car heard the driver and the guards yelling, it seemed that naughty children were chasing and beating on the driveway, and someone fell right in front of the car Only then did the coachman stop in a hurry.

The blocked driveway soon became clear again, Gu Yun put the pen and paper in Bai Kou's hand aside, shook off the blanket to wrap both of them up, and hugged her like a big pillow.

Bai Kou felt that Shizi was inexplicably sticky today.

"Are you sick?" Bai Kou struggled to stretch out his arms from the blanket, and raised his hand to touch Shizi's cheek, but there was no suspicious heat.

"No." Gu Yun grabbed Bai Kou's hand instead.

"It feels weird."

"It must be your illusion."

"If she really catches the cold, Mama Pang will have to miss her servant girl, and Da Furen will be unhappy."

"No, they'll just say I deserve it."

"impossible?"

"Really, they are not nervous at all with minor injuries and illnesses. Gu Chen and I have come here since we were young. There are no second- and third-bedroom children who are well-raised. The advantage is that our brothers have stronger bones."

"Your Madam is so generous."

"Lanshan Marquis He's nephew is now taking both civil and military paths. Naturally, our wife will not pamper the children too much."

"So that's how you developed your willfulness." Bai Kou moved her legs, feeling a little hot, and wanted to sit aside.

"What's wrong with me being self-willed? As a prince, I can't be self-willed anymore?" Seeing Bai Kou moving around unconsciously, Gu Yun had no choice but to hold her tightly, "I told you not to move around."

"But, it's hot."

"I don't believe it, I want to feel it to see if I'm sweating." Gu Yun suddenly laughed strangely.

Bai Kou was taken aback, and suddenly hit Gu Yun's side with an elbow. Gu Yun had nowhere to hide, after being hit so hard, he let out a sigh of relief and coughed a few times.

The guards outside heard the movement, and hurriedly approached the carriage to ask what was going on, but Gu Yun wiped it away with the excuse of choking on drinking water.

"Tell me, how many times have you hit me?" Although Gu Yun was attacked, he still tightly wrapped his hands and feet around Bai Kou, and covered his head with a blanket, and the two were talking under the blanket.

"Hmph, you can't be lenient when dealing with perverts."

Bai Kou intentionally cracked her finger joints. Hearing the sound, Gu Yun thought of the three old servants who were injured by her hands years ago, and his thoughts suddenly jumped to what if he was hit hard on the face by her? What happens to punches.

If it was really a trick to keep Bai Kou out of the good, when she knew the truth, Gu Yun felt that it might be as simple as getting a punch in the face, because from the beginning Bai Kou would not let him know that she had a revenge plan , he will be severely hit without knowing anything, and there is no evidence to prove that it was Bai Kou who did it.

It's scary to think about it.

"Alas..." Gu Yun sighed depressingly.

"What's the matter?" Bai Kou felt that Shizi's behavior today was really inexplicable.

"nothing……"

"Well, it's spring anyway, let's treat it as if you're thinking of spring." Bai Kou pulled off the blanket and stroked her somewhat messy hair.

"I'm not thinking of spring!" Gu Yun was so excited that his voice was a little loud.

There was laughter from the guards outside the car window, they must have heard the excuse just now, Gu Yun's face instantly showed embarrassment, Bai Kou covered her mouth and giggled.
