Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam
Chapter 116: Using the money of the daughter-in-law who has not yet married into the family.
"Mother, you can't go to Princess Anyang's mansion, but your daughter can go."
Gu Rong wanted to meet Qin Ye, and also planned to meet Princess Yuan'an. She had met Princess Yuan'an several times now, and Princess Yuan'an treated her very well.
She also met the Fourth Prince and Princess Fuwei in the palace.
Princess Fuwei and Princess Yuan'an have a very good relationship. Although Princess Fuwei is a daughter of a wealthy family, she is humble and kind to others.
After hearing Gu Rong's words, Gu Zhu finally remembered.
"Yes, yes, yes, mother has forgotten about this matter. It is not convenient for mother to go there. You will go to Princess Anyang's mansion on behalf of mother and Minister Gu's mansion."
As Gu Zhu said this, she asked Nanny Zhu to go to the cabinet in the room and take out a box.
Gu Zhu counted out twenty silver bills and handed them to Gu Rong.
"Here are two thousand taels of silver notes. Go to Princess Anyang's mansion and behave well in front of Princess Anyang. Try to please Princess Anyang. When you come of age and get married, maybe Princess Anyang will show up to attend..."
Hearing his mother's words, Gu Rong nodded immediately.
"Don't worry, my daughter knows what to do."
Gu Zhu said again.
"Hide these things from Gu Zhao, don't let her know."
"She certainly won't know."
Gu Zhao immediately knew that Gu Rong had taken two thousand taels of silver to Princess Anyang's mansion.
She laughed angrily.
These two thousand taels of silver were also her mother's dowry. As a biological daughter, she had not spent even a hundred taels of silver on the Gu family in the past ten years, let alone two thousand taels.
Her grandparents were afraid that she would be wronged, so they sent people to the farm to take care of her. All her expenses were provided by her grandparents.
The things that the Gu family gave her were pitifully few, and later on, they even gave her nothing.
The people sent to pick her up were only a groom and a maid. She took the Xie Mansion's carriage and returned to the capital with her maids.
She had thought that after not seeing her for so many years, the people in the Gu family would miss her and like her very much.
But when she returned home, she was mocked as a country bumpkin, said she was poorly dressed, and made things difficult for her in various ways.
Gu Zhao withdrew her thoughts. She would never want the Gu family to give her family affection again. Her family members were only her grandfather and grandmother, and the Xie family.
Gu Rong first handed the letter to Qin Yao. After receiving the reply, she immediately took a carriage and went to wait outside the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion.
"aunt."
"Rong'er, come on our carriage."
Hearing what Lady Ningyuan said, Gu Rong immediately thanked her, got off his own carriage, and got on Lady Ningyuan's carriage.
"I heard from Yao'er that your family plans to donate two thousand taels of silver?"
Lady Ningyuan looked at Gu Rong with kindness.
"Yes."
Lady Ningyuan looked at her daughter.
Qin Yao understood and said.
"Rongrong, you are really confused. Your Gu Shilang Mansion donated 2,000 taels of silver notes, so how much should other mansions donate? Shouldn't other mansions add to your donation? This will offend other families..."
Hearing Qin Yao's words, Gu Rong said gratefully.
"Thank you, Yao'er. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have made a big mistake today."
Qin Yao said with a faint smile on her face.
"You and I are good sisters, and you will be my sister-in-law in the future, so of course I have to protect you."
Gu Rong looked towards the wife of the Earl of Ningyuan.
"Aunt, how much silver do you think is appropriate for our Gu family to donate?"
Hearing Gu Rong's words, Lady Ningyuan raised her chin and spoke calmly.
"One thousand taels of silver."
"We would like to donate more, which will also be good for Ye'er and Yao'er. But now this mansion needs money everywhere..."
A look of sadness appeared on the face of Lady Ningyuan.
"The betrothal gift we prepared cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Now, I, your aunt, wish I could spend every penny as I can."
Hearing the Ningyuan Marquis’ wife crying, Gu Rong’s heart turned.
When she heard that the betrothal gift cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, and thought of how good Qin Ye had always been to her, she took the initiative to speak.
"Aunt, I have more than 1,000 taels of silver. Please donate it to the people on my behalf."
Mrs. Ningyuan's face suddenly darkened, and she spoke in a serious tone.
"Rong'er, who do you think your aunt is? You are Ye'er's fiancée, and even if our family is strapped for money, we will not use your money. If people outside knew that I was using my future daughter-in-law's money, how would I be able to go out with dignity in the future?"
Seeing that Lady Ningyuan had a gloomy face, Gu Rong panicked.
"Aunt, Rong'er didn't mean that. Don't be angry... Rong'er felt that this one thousand taels of silver was donated to the people. Whether it was donated by Rong'er or by you, aunt, the people benefited from it... It can help many people..."
Mrs. Ningyuan still looked a little unhappy.
"Then I can't take your silver. This is what your mother gave you, asking you to deliver it to Princess Anyang on behalf of Minister Gu's mansion. If Princess Anyang knew all this, she would definitely be angry..."
"Rong'er, how could you do this? You are putting our Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion in an unjust position. I still treat you as my sister-in-law and best friend..." Qin Yao's face also changed, and she angrily accused Gu Rong.
"That's really not what I meant, Auntie, Yao'er, you misunderstood."
Gu Rong was extremely anxious.
She originally wanted to use the extra 1,000 taels of silver to help Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion improve its reputation, but she didn't expect that it would make Ningyuan Marquis's wife and Qin Yao angry.
"I will return this 1,000 taels of silver to my mother. I used my own private money."
"That won't work. You haven't even married yet, how can we use your money?"
"Aunt, in a few months, I will marry Brother Ye. Everything I have will be his. It was Rong'er's own wish..."
Gu Rong was afraid that the wife of the Ningyuan Marquis would be angry with her. If she couldn't marry the son of the Marquis Qin, she would marry Brother Ye. If she offended her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, her life in the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion would be difficult in the future. What's more, there is now the vixen Duan Zhen in the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion.
Gu Rong spoke for a long time, saying that she was willing to help the people in her own name.
The wife of the Ningyuan Marquis had only prepared one thousand taels of silver, and she felt sorry for it. But Princess Anyang took the lead in doing this charity, and the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion had to support it.
She had her eyes on Gu Rong's 1,000 taels of silver. But she didn't want to have a bad reputation and be blamed. So she had to let Gu Rong donate voluntarily, so that if the news got out, she wouldn't be ridiculed and wouldn't lose face for the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion.
"Mom, Rong'er also meant well, don't be angry, she really didn't mean that..."
Qin Yao persuaded Lady Ningyuan for a long time before Lady Ningyuan agreed.
"Since it is a kind gift from Rong'er, I will accept it. I would like to thank you on behalf of the people who have been affected by the disaster."
