When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 102 Gu Hua's Conscience Is Running Out

At noon, just when some people were about to get heatstroke, Wang Geng, the leader of the escorting yamen runners, finally ordered them to take a break.

Gu Hua touched the foreheads of several children and found not even a few beads of sweat. He knew that with the holy snow lotus seeds around their necks, they didn't feel how hot the weather was at all.

There will be rest breaks during the exile, but no meals will be provided.

Fortunately, today is the first day of exile, and everyone has food sent by relatives and friends, so there should be no problem dealing with this meal.

When Gu Hua and the others were arrested, Gu Chen, Mu Feng, Mu Xue, Chun Lan and a group of people anticipated that if the imperial court wanted to hold them accountable, they would definitely not be able to escape.

Gu Hua was not careless during the rest time. Children are the most likely to get hurt or lost when going out. She instructed the cautious Xia He to take Dongmei, Xiaozi and Xiaoqing to look after the four children respectively, and they didn't need to worry about anything else.

Chunlan looked at the several large bags they brought with them.

Dagui and Ergui planned to fetch water from a small stream not far from the resting place while they were resting.

Seeing the two brothers taking out a small wooden barrel from the package, Gu Hua's eyes twitched. He took another look and found that the package contained all kinds of daily necessities.

Gu Hua felt that they were not just letting their hair down, but more like going on a long journey.

The people around them also noticed the things they brought with them and looked at them with contempt. They were in exile. The things they brought ranged from tooth powder and needles to wooden bowls, basins and barrels that were not easily broken, covering most of the supplies for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating.

“……”What’s going on?

Gu Hua saw that there was only one family member around his uncle, except for his eldest cousin's wife who remained silent and seemed invisible, who was followed by a nanny and a maid. Then he remembered that the Chen family was able to buy people to serve them only after his uncle passed the imperial examination and became an official.

There are no servants like Dagui and Ergui who were born in the family and have been raised by their master for generations and have deep feelings for their master.

My uncle and cousin were on duty at the yamen. When the Grand Princess discovered that they were relatives of her, she reported them directly to the palace, and then they were exiled by the Emperor's order. It is understandable that they did not have any servants with them.

When the other two members of the Ye family, mother and son, were captured from their own house, not a single servant was willing to follow them, which shows how difficult they were to serve.

Gu Hua stopped Chen Ling who was about to leave after putting down the child, and even Bai Zhenzhen who had been following him silently stayed, "You've been tired for the whole morning, let's eat here."

Then he turned around and told Chunlan to pack up the food they brought and send it to Uncle Chen and the others, without mentioning a word about calling them over to have dinner together.

Previously, she was able to be the scapegoat and help the Ye mother and son deal with the yamen runners because of her uncle and cousin Ling's face, and the Chen family was indeed exiled because of her.

But if Ye wanted to use this to control herself, then she would overestimate Gu Hua's conscience.

As a person who was reborn in the end times, she was considered a righteous person if she didn't kill innocent people. How long did she want him to feel guilty? That was impossible.

Chunlan is worthy of being the maid that Gu Hua relies on the most. She is not only smart, but also cautious and steady in doing things. No matter how much food she takes, as long as they have it, the Chen family will have it too, so no one can find fault with it.

Ye looked at the food placed on both sides, opened her mouth, and quickly closed it when she met Uncle Chen's gaze.

When Chen Yunting saw that his eldest son and daughter-in-law were left by his niece to have dinner, he knew that Gu Hua had him, his uncle, in mind.

It's just that what his wife and second son did, on the surface, seemed to be holding back and getting beaten, but in reality, they were trying to trick Gu Hua into revealing her money. Then, those vampire-like escorting officials would have to come up with various excuses to squeeze all the money out of her.

Uncle Chen sighed, picked up a steamed bun that Gu Hua had sent over, and ate it slowly. Gu Hua just raised his eyebrows and ignored Ye's hostility towards him.

She had all the memories of this body and could guess to some extent why Ye disliked her so much, or why he was the original owner of this body.

The Chen family's financial situation was not good before, and they had to support Chen Yunting, a scholar, which made the already tight family even more financially constrained.

The original owner's mother was chosen by her father to marry because of her outstanding appearance. Whether openly or secretly, she always gave money to support her eldest brother's family.

At the beginning, perhaps Ye, the eldest sister-in-law, would be grateful for the help from her younger sister-in-law, but after a long time, she would feel that she could not hold her head up in front of her rich sister-in-law.

When Uncle Chen passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, his sister-in-law Ye felt that she could be proud of herself in front of her younger sister-in-law, but she found that if she wanted to be transferred to a good place to be an official, she still had to pay money to get the job.

No matter what the purpose was for the Gu family to spend a large sum of money to help her husband with connections, Ye, the eldest sister-in-law, still felt that she was being suppressed by her younger sister-in-law, and gradually she became resentful.

Many years later, she thought her husband had become an official in Beijing, and she could always look down on her sister-in-law, a merchant's wife, with pride. However, she did not expect that before she could even show off to meet Gu's mother, she received the news of the death of the Gu couple.

Ye has been holding this anger in her heart.

Gu Hua could only say that sometimes helping others was a mistake, and it was better to be selfish.

But thinking back, if Gu's mother didn't take the money to bring her brother back from her natal family, I'm afraid Ye would have another kind of resentment towards her.

Gu Hua here originally felt that everyone was exiled, and everyone gathered together to eat.

However, Dagui, Ergui, Chunlan, Xiahe, who stuck to their duties, took Xiaozi, Xiaoqing and the others and took the steamed buns and a few dishes to eat nearby.

Seeing that they were relaxed like this, Gu Hua did not insist on having everyone eat together.

The people from the Shen family also chose to rest near the edge of the woods where Gu Hua and the others were.

Because they were a military general's family, Gu Hua saw that the cousins ​​Shen Hongling and Shen Hongwei were different from the weak and fragile young ladies in the exile team.

The two of them were strong and efficient at their work, no worse than some strong men, and they were accompanied by a few slightly stronger maids.

Gu Hua's eyes lit up as he realized that among the Shen family members, except for the elegant Mrs. Shen and the well-mannered girl named Shen Hongxuan, all the others walked with a brisk pace and it was obvious that they all had some basic skills.

The old nanny who served Mrs. Shen was there.

Gu Hua touched his chin.

It seems that he was soft-hearted that day and helped a few pretty girls a little when he saw them having words carved on their faces. Maybe they will really be of use in the future.

People of this era may look down on women, but Gu Hua, a soul from the modern era, does not. She does not think that women are inferior to men.

Women can also make a career with their own abilities.
