She will definitely make Gu Zhao suffer. She will definitely avenge this.

Gu Rong left angrily.

Gu Zhao returned to the room.

Lu'er walked in quickly and reported on the charcoal sales in the past few days.

"Miss, the price of charcoal has tripled since yesterday. Now each person is limited to buying 100 kilograms of charcoal, but there are still a lot of people lining up every day..."

"Starting tomorrow, the price will increase fivefold."

Gu Zhao ordered.

"Yes."

Gu Zhao planned that when the price increased tenfold, she would sell most of the charcoal.

By that time, the weather is the coldest, and more people will buy charcoal, and some people will purchase larger quantities, raising the price by more than ten times.

Before that, she picked both her and the Xie family out.

By that time, those who speculate on the price of charcoal will be targeted by the emperor's people.

There will be no problems between her and the Xie family, the Qin family, etc.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhao sent someone to call Xie Da over, and also sent someone to deliver a letter to Qin Chen.

Xie Da came over quickly, and when he heard Gu Zhao's words, he immediately replied.

"Cousin, I will do as you say. I have sent letters to the old master and the eldest master several times, and the old master said that he would listen to you..."

After Xie Da left, a smile appeared on Gu Zhao's face.

Her grandfather gave her 100,000 yuan, and she herself had several thousand taels of silver. The profit from the charcoal shop would be ten times that, which would be a million taels of silver. After deducting labor costs and some other expenses, there would still be hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

She made a lot of money from this.

And this time, grandpa and Qin Chen will earn more money than her.

Gu Zhao plans to use this money to continue investing in business.

Today is the once-a-month family gathering at the Qin Marquis Mansion and the Ningyuan Earl Mansion.

Today's banquet is held at Qinhou Mansion.

Everyone in Marquis Qin's mansion was in high spirits, while everyone in Earl Ningyuan's mansion had an unhappy look on their faces.

After Qin Chen was promoted, his official position was higher than Ning Yuanbo's current position.

"Sister-in-law."

The old lady of Ningyuanbo walked in with a smile. Although their family had lost face a few days ago, in front of Old Lady Qin, the old lady of Ningyuanbo still pretended that nothing had happened.

Old Madam Qin sat on the chair and hummed.

The old lady of Earl Ningyuan had three sons and two daughters. Earl Ningyuan and the eldest daughter were his biological children, while the other three were born out of wedlock.

Madam Qin only has one son, Lord Qin. That's why the people from Ningyuanbo's mansion are keeping an eye on this place. They think that as long as Lord Qin dies, then they will inherit the Lord Qin's mansion.

The old lady of Earl Ningyuan thought so, and so did the wife of Earl Ningyuan.

Duan Zhen came today with the wife of the Earl of Ningyuan to attend the banquet held by the two mansions.

"Sister-in-law."

Lady Ningyuanbo called out to Lady Qinhou with a smile.

"My sister-in-law has been looking good lately." Lady Qinhou looked at Lady Ningyuanbo with a smile on her face.

The smile on Lady Ningyuan's face suddenly froze.

This Zhao said this to mock her. So many things happened in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion recently, she was extremely anxious and looked more haggard than before. This time, she was wearing thick powder when attending the banquet of the two mansions.

"I heard that my nephew Chen'er was appointed as a third-rank deputy general by the emperor. Congratulations, sister-in-law. Why didn't I see Chen'er today?"

She even specially brought her niece's granddaughter here today, thinking that she could have more contact with Qin Chen. What if Qin Chen likes her?
