"Grandmother is a little tired, so I'll go back first. Madam Yang, if the eldest lady needs anything, go find Madam Gu and get it back."

"The slaves obey."

Gu Zhao bowed to Old Madam Gu and watched her walk away.

"This slave has met the eldest lady."

Nanny Qin once again led the maids to bow respectfully towards Gu Zhao.

"Madame Qin, please stand up."

Gu Zhao reached out and helped Nanny Qin up with a smile on her face.

"Thank you, miss."

Gu Zhao went to Madam Qin Hou to ask for someone because she had too few people in the Gu Mansion. There were still some people left by his mother, but in recent years, they were driven to the manor by Gu Zhushi. Some were sold, and some were redeemed. In short, most of them disappeared.

Most of the shopkeepers of my mother's dowry shops were also replaced by Gu Zhu.

"Gu Zhao has just returned from the manor, and there are many things he still doesn't understand. Please ask Nanny Qin to help guide him."

"My lady, your words are too kind. I will tell you everything I know."

Nanny Qin was a daughter of Marquis Qin's family and the second most trusted confidant of Marquis Qin's wife. She knew the current situation in the Gu Mansion. She was also with the wife before and heard some things about Miss Gu. Now it seems that Miss Gu is much smarter than the rumors say.

When Nanny Yang saw the eldest lady's gaze looking at her, she instantly felt the pressure.

For some reason, the look in the eldest lady's eyes at this moment was very much like the aura of a superior. She had only seen that kind of pressure from the wives of dukes, marquises, and those extremely powerful mistresses.

"This servant greets the young lady. Young lady, I will call the stewards of the mansion to come over and replenish the things that are missing in your courtyard. If you have any instructions, please tell me at any time."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Madam Yang."

Gu Zhao walked into the room and sat down on a chair.

It was also the first time for Madam Yang to come to the eldest lady's courtyard. She was shocked to see how shabby the courtyard was. Wasn't the stepmother too partial?

In the second young lady's yard, there were flowers blooming even in the dead of winter, but the eldest young lady's yard was bare, without any flowers, plants or trees. Moreover, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the flower beds were filled with branches and fallen leaves, making it look very dilapidated.

Now that she had entered the room, everything inside made Madam Yang speechless.

There were many ornaments in the hall, but the servants of these noble families could recognize at a glance that those ornaments were not worth even a hundred coins.

Any of the ornaments in the second young lady's living room and boudoir were worth hundreds of taels, not to mention the ornaments and screens in the late lady's dowry. And the room was as cold as an ice cellar, with no charcoal fire at all.

Nanny Qin didn't expect that when she entered Miss Gu's room, she would see such a scene.

This is the courtyard of the eldest daughter of Minister Gu in the Ministry of Revenue's residence. It is even worse than the rooms where the servants in the Qin Marquis's residence live.

Nanny Yang also knew at this time that she had to quickly replenish the things so as not to embarrass the Gu family.

Old Madam Gu sent someone to call the stewards, and a dozen stewards immediately opened the warehouse and dragged a lot of things from the warehouse to Gu Zhao's yard.

Gu Zhao looked at the dilapidated house, which had been transformed into a brand new one in just one hour.

Not only are the ornaments valuable, but the tables, chairs, tea sets, etc. are also the same as those in Gu Rongyuan.
