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

Chunhe was serving food to Su Xiuran, and Lin Xiaoxiao was lost in thought as she watched the warm family discussion.

"Madam, now that you mention it, I've noticed something. Every time you go out, Miss Lin always wears clothes or accessories in the same or similar colors."

"I don't know if it was intentional or just a coincidence."

[Lin Xiaoxiao is imitating my mother!]

Gu Yu'an frowned: "Does she think that if she wears the same clothes as Mother, my father will take a liking to her?"

"It is," Gu Ziming said vaguely.

"My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world; it doesn't matter if we dress the same way."

Gu Liyao shook his head: "Isn't there a saying that goes, 'Beauty is enough; mimicry is not about seeking truth'?"

Gu Yu'an fell into deep thought upon hearing this. Lin Xiaoxiao had already followed Gu Minghai and had some kind of system to rely on, so she didn't need to imitate her mother to get her father's attention.

She has such a strange system, what kind of high-class family can't she enter?

He now recalls that the last time his mother went out, Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be wearing the same color clothes, but at that time his father had already been imprisoned.

Gu Yu'an put down his chopsticks, looking puzzled: "But if she really loves my father, shouldn't she try to save him?"

One sentence silenced everyone!

Yes, shouldn't we be saving Dad at this time? Why are we causing trouble for the Gu family everywhere?

Gu Linglong: [Could it be that jealousy has turned into hatred, and the desire to destroy what one cannot have, and right now it's simply jealousy or envy of my mother?]

If we could find a way to try it, we would know. Knowing yourself and your enemy, you will never be defeated.

Our opportunity will arise once the enemy collapses.

Gu Yu'an's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he stared intently at Su Xiuran.

"Mother, why don't we think of a way to try?"

"How do we try? And what are the consequences of trying?"

Gu Liyao: "Mother, I know that. Logically speaking, Lin Xiaoxiao's family should have calmed down for now, but we've figured out why she hates us so much."

"Then we can force her to make a move. Once she does, we'll have an opportunity and can also find out about their accomplices."

Gu Linglong buried her head in thought, [Actually, thinking about it, after my father was brought down, who benefited the most and who were the accomplices?]

Who benefits the most?

Gu Yu'an and Gu Linglong were both deep in thought. The Left Prime Minister simply didn't want his father to become the Right Prime Minister. With his immense power, he could easily find a few colleagues to oppose him, and the matter wouldn't be resolved without causing the Gu family to be destroyed and going to such great lengths.

My father was originally the Minister of Revenue. Since there was no Right Chancellor, he temporarily took charge of the Six Ministries and was appointed as the Minister of Revenue. The position of Minister of Revenue was also a concurrent one.

If Father steps down, then it will be Father's subordinate, Chen Ao, the Vice Minister of Revenue.

But could there be a third hand pulling the strings behind the scenes?

Gu Linglong read the book very quickly, and some details were already hard to remember. Gu Linglong's eyes darted around as if she had forgotten something.

Gu Yu'an looked at Gu Liyao with agreement: "It's worth a try. Perhaps there are enemies we can't see."

Su Xiuran nodded: "I'm fine with it, how do I try?"

Gu Yu'an thought for a moment: "Mother, I remember tomorrow is the Guanyin Festival, the day when Baiyun Temple gives out incense every year. You should dress up nicely tomorrow."

Gu Yu'an turned his gaze to Chunhe: "Chunhe, you are responsible for explaining to the people below that Madam will be going to Baiyun Temple to burn incense and pray for blessings tomorrow."

"Yes, sir."

Baiyun Temple is one of the largest temples in Beijing. Every year, it holds a Guanyin Festival, which is said to be the birthday of Guanyin Goddess.

The first incense stick offered on the Guanyin Festival is usually selected and presented by the pilgrim and the temple based on the amount of money donated and the good deeds performed by the donor throughout the year.

Therefore, this incense stick has a special meaning, not only representing good wishes, but also helping to enhance the reputation of an individual or a family.

At this time of year, Baiyun Temple is always packed with people. High-ranking officials and noblewomen from the capital rush to be the first to offer incense, while ordinary people flock to pray for blessings on Guanyin's birthday.

Su Xiuran frowned: "You suspect that there are still their spies in the manor?"

Gu Yu'an nodded: "I remember the last time you went out, Mother, Lin Xiaoxiao was dressed almost the same as you. If it's not a coincidence, then there must be a traitor in the manor."

Gu Linglong rolled her eyes. [Wow, my older brother is so smart!]

Gu Yu'an glanced at Gu Linglong discreetly and smiled knowingly.

Su Xiuran's hand holding the chopsticks turned slightly white. The thought that her clothing and even her every word and action were being monitored filled her with unprecedented terror and rage.

"My mother is being monitored?" Gu Liyao stood up indignantly.

"Which bastard is that? I'm going to kill her!"

Gu Yu'an pulled him back to his seat.

"What? Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid the traitor won't hear you if you don't speak loud enough?"

Realizing what was happening, Gu Liyao quickly covered his mouth, saying, "I'll be quieter, I'll be quieter."

"Okay, I'll go."

Su Xiuran spoke firmly. She originally did not want to participate in this Guanyin Festival. Although she donated a lot of money every year, how could she possibly receive the first incense after such a thing happened to her family?

But since her eldest son said it concerned the master, she had to go.

After chatting for a while, Gu Linglong was taken away by her wet nurse to sleep. Ever since she became a baby, she had been very sleepy.

Wang Fugui flew out with a "whoosh".

"Lord White Tiger, have you forgotten your mission?"

"What mission do I have?" Gu Linglong asked, still a little dazed.

"Protect the main character!"

"Hey, are you stupid? If we deal with Lin Xiaoxiao, then Lin Xiaoxiao won't have a chance to deal with the protagonist!"

Wang Fugui nodded: "That seems to make sense, but what if Lin Xiaoxiao wants to deal with the protagonist?"

Don't worry, I'll handle the funeral arrangements myself.

"What did you say?"

I will take action myself...

Wang Fugui patted his chest, "Oh, that scared the bear to death!"

Wang Fugui realized something was wrong: "But you're a baby right now! How can you attack?"

"Well, you're here. Lin Xiaoxiao is going to Baiyun Temple tomorrow too. Go and check things out."

Wang Fugui nodded, then flew in a circle: "Alright, brave bear, unafraid of difficulties!"

Although I am not the strongest system sprite, I still have some skills.

The next day, a faint light appeared on the horizon.

Su Xiuran got up very early, after all, there would be a lot of people on Guanyin Festival. She put on the pale yellow dress she had prepared in advance and wore a hibiscus tassel on her head.

She looked dignified, poised, and composed.

She deliberately lingered in the mansion for a while, giving the traitor time to deliver the message before taking a carriage to Baiyun Temple.

The three brothers shared one carriage, while Su Xiuran carried Gu Linglong in another. Su Xiuran gently rubbed Gu Linglong's cheek with her fingertips.

Gu Linglong opened her eyes groggily, looking as if she hadn't woken up properly.

Wow, Mommy is so beautiful!

Su Xiuran smiled gently and said in an extremely gentle voice, "My little girl is so beautiful, even more beautiful than her mother."

Gu Linglong opened her eyes slightly, full of anticipation.

[Really? Really? Mother, you're so good with words, you're destined to become very rich!]

Tell me specifically what makes me pretty.

Su Xiuran looked at Gu Linglong, whose eyebrows had not yet grown.

"Nannan's eyebrows are dark and thick."
