After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

"Who came to exorcise the ghost?"

The doorman thought for a moment, then said, "It's a young master."

Could the other person also be a reincarnated individual? Or is it that their own reincarnation caused the situation to deviate from its intended course?

To prevent any accidents, anyone suspected of being a reincarnated person must not be allowed to remain.

Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Young man, do you know who this person is? Could you draw a portrait of him for me?"

The doorman looked at the other person as if he were an idiot: "If he can draw, why is he working as a doorman here?"

This woman is absolutely humiliating him.

The doorman slammed the door shut.

"do not know"

Lin Xiaoxiao was thoroughly humiliated and secretly harbored resentment towards Qi Zhenghai's family, thinking it an insult that a businessman would treat the future mother of the nation in such a way.

That's right, if she's going to do something, she wants to do it the best; if she's going to compete, she wants to be number one.

She was reborn to become empress.

The Gu residence was brightly decorated, and the servants moved about hurriedly but in an orderly manner, all in preparation for Gu Linglong's full-day celebration three days later.

In the bedroom, Gu Mingtang dismissed the servants, his face grave.

"Linglong predicted that our entire Gu family would be exiled and die tragically on the way. It is currently unclear how much evidence the people who framed us have to frame us."

"But some arrangements have to be made in advance."

Gu Mingtang took out a waist tag from his waist.

"This is the Lingxiao Sect token left by my father. Take it. After the full-day banquet, leave immediately. I will stay behind to cover you."

If the imperial court insists on destroying our Gu family, I hope our sect can protect you.

Su Xiuran gently placed her hand on Gu Mingtang's wrist and shook her head in disapproval. "Since Father was expelled from the sect, something must have happened back then that no one knows about."

"We might leave one danger only to fall into another."

Gu Yu'an nodded. "Mother is right. Father, whatever difficulties we encounter, we'll overcome them together as a family."

Gu Liyao also said, "We still have our younger sister, so we can definitely plan ahead."

Gu Ziming stood up and hugged Gu Mingtang. "Yes, Father, I won't leave. I can protect you."

Gu Mingtang patted Gu Ziming's head with satisfaction, and the frustration in his heart dissipated a bit.

Okay, let's be a family together.

As the group was talking, Gu Linglong was crying out in hunger next door. Chunhe had no choice but to knock on the door and carry Gu Linglong in to find Su Xiuran.

"Madam, Miss is hungry."

Su Xiuran nodded and took the child. The father and sons were about to leave.

"Oh, you're all having tea here. You seem to be in a good mood, but I'm so worried!"

The military funds that they accused my father of embezzling are hidden on the estate. If they're found, I'm finished... sigh...

Upon hearing this, the father and his sons paused in their tracks, then hurried away...

The next day.

The streets were bustling with activity.

The three Gu brothers chose a theater to watch a play.

"Eeeeeeeeee, yayaya."

Gu Linglong kept yawning as she listened.

A cold, mechanical voice rang out from a corner on the second floor.

"Host, the system indicates that you can romance the Gu brothers; their current affection level is 20%."

"20%? Wasn't it 80% before?"

"I don't know the specifics."

He went to great lengths to steal the luck of the Gu family brothers, but his favorability rating actually dropped.

She suppressed her annoyance, put on a smile, and walked over with a food box in hand.

She is now particularly fascinated by the pleasure of absorbing other people's luck. Not long after she absorbed the luck of Su Xiuran and Gu Linglong, the wife of the Ministry of Rites official recognized her as his goddaughter.

My value has increased several levels overnight. With this new status, I can barely participate in talent shows, something that never happened in my previous life.

She was able to win over the Gu brothers, and she had always had a good relationship with them. Those three boys were like idiots, so she confidently stepped forward.

"I knew you'd be here! Look what delicious treats your auntie brought you!"

Lin Xiaoxiao put down the food box and took out a plate of hibiscus cake.

"Yu'an, this is your favorite hibiscus cake. Even though we've separated from the family, I'm still your aunt."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yu'an frowned, a vague unease creeping into his heart.

Gu Linglong immediately became alert upon hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's voice.

[No way, is she trying to steal my brother's luck?]

Upon hearing this, a cold glint flashed in Gu Yu'an's eyes. He had initially thought she was being threatened by Gu Minghai, but now it seemed that she was clearly malicious on her own.

"You and your second uncle are not married yet, so it's not appropriate for you to call him 'auntie,' is it?"

"Even if you are my second uncle's concubine, it's against etiquette for me to call you 'aunt.' I'll still call you Miss Lin."

"Ding, target's affection level detected: 10."

Lin Xiaoxiao felt a chill in her heart. Why had her favorability rating dropped? He even said he was a concubine. She clenched her handkerchief tightly and said awkwardly.

"Yes, just call me Miss Lin."

"This is a homemade hibiscus cake. Try it; I hope you like the taste."

[Brother, don't eat it! Don't be fooled by her beautiful appearance!]

Gu Yu'an only glanced at it indifferently.

"Ding! Target's affection level detected: 5"

"?"

Lin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath. "What do you like? I'll cook it for you."

This woman just won't stop.

"Need not"

Wow, my older brother is really great. He'll definitely be able to resist all those other women in the future.

These compliments made Gu Yu'an's cheeks flush.

Lin Xiaoxiao kept cursing him in her heart, thinking, "Is Gu Yu'an crazy? He makes me pastries and then deducts my favorability points."

"Ding! The target's affection level has been detected to be -5. Would you like to change the target?"

"Replace Gu Liyao"

"Yes"

Lin Xiaoxiao brought out another plate of pastries. "Liyao, this is your favorite yam cake. Please try it."

Gu Liyao squinted at her, wondering if this woman would poison him.

"No, the pastries from outside aren't clean."

"Ding, target's affection level -20. Host, how about you try the younger one? That one looks a bit silly, should be easier to win over."

"Okay, let's win over Gu Zimo."

Oh dear, Lin Xiaoxiao is going to try and seduce Third Brother!

Lin Xiaoxiao, with a forced smile, took out a plate of hawthorn cake. "How could that be? I used only the freshest ingredients."

"Zimo, try some hawthorn cake."

Gu Ziming turned his gaze away from the stage, frowning. What did that mean?

The eldest and second eldest brothers don't eat, so why make him eat? He looks the dumbest and the one who deserves to have his luck drained by you.

"My maid loves making me pastries. Does Miss Lin enjoy being a maid?"

-puff-

Upon hearing this, Gu Liyao and Gu Yu'an almost spat out their tea.

If you have such a good mouth, then say more.

Haha, you've messed with my third brother, you've really hit a brick wall!

"Ding, host. The system has detected that the target's favorability has decreased by 50."

Lin Xiaoxiao almost dropped the food box. She tried hard to control her expression and forced a smile.

"What's wrong with you all? Are we going to become estranged because of the family division?"

Gu Yu'an pursed his lips and said, "Miss Lin, that's a misconception. Putting aside the traditional separation of men and women, just the fact that you're from my second uncle's household means we should all keep our distance."

[Tsk tsk, what witty remarks. It would be fun if she could win over the plague god. She could even help him get rid of some bad luck, hehe~]

An idea immediately formed in Gu Yu'an's mind, and he cupped his hands in greeting.

"We heard that the youngest son of the wealthy Qi Zhenghai was born with extraordinary signs, such as hundreds of birds taking flight. We would like to see this chosen one of heaven, so we will take our leave now."

Gu Yu'an ignored Lin Xiaoxiao's reaction and left with his people.

Lin Xiaoxiao stared at the departing figures with a sinister look in her eyes.

They're all despicable people.

Lin Xiaoxiao was so angry that she knocked the food box off the table.

"System, what's going on? My favorability rating was already at 80%, and I was about to successfully win her over, but instead of increasing, it's decreased."

"Honey, this system doesn't know either. Why don't you try again?"

Lin Xiaoxiao was so angry that her knuckles clenched so tightly they cracked.

"Why even try? It's definitely that old hag who dragged me down."

"By the way, Gu Yu'an just mentioned that Qi Zhenghai's youngest son was born with unusual signs. Could you check if he is a person with great fortune?"

"Host, please wait a moment."

"Host, we have detected that Qi Yue, the youngest son of Qi Zheng Hai, does indeed possess great fortune, and he also has the aura of a god."

"god?"

"Can I steal his luck?"

"Yes, host."

Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes burned with excitement. God's luck? Wouldn't that mean she could do anything effortlessly in the future?

"Let's go and see this young master Qi Yue."
