Favoring Concubines and Destroying Wife: Reborn, I Married to a Rich Man and Destroyed His Whole Fam

Gu Zhu was also extremely excited.

"Yes, the Emperor is praising you."

Gu Zhu never expected that her daughter would be praised by the emperor and receive so many rewards. This would bring honor to the family and be a very prestigious thing.

Minister Gu quickly bowed to Eunuch Jin.

"Thank you, Eunuch Jin. You have worked really hard today."

The housekeeper also stuffed the prepared things into the father-in-law's hand.

He touched the things in the purse, which were thin and should be silver bills. Eunuch Jin was very happy.

"Master Gu, you are too polite. I still have to go to other palaces to pass on the emperor's orders, so I'll take my leave now."

"Go slowly, Master Jin."

When Gu Zhao walked in, he happened to see Gu Zhurong talking to Gu Rong.

"My daughter, you are such a source of pride for me. The Emperor has given you gifts..."

Old Madam Gu was somewhat puzzled. She also sent people to the porridge shed, but she did not find anything outstanding about her granddaughter.

However, the emperor verbally praised his eldest son for his good parenting, so she was naturally very happy.

Minister Gu also looked at Gu Rong with a smile on his face, his heart filled with pride.

You know, he rarely sees the emperor, let alone becomes the emperor's confidant. Now that he has been praised by the emperor because of his second daughter, I wonder how many people will envy him.

"It is because of my grandmother, father and mother's good teaching that Rong'er can now receive the emperor's praise. These things should belong to everyone. Not just for Rong'er alone..."

Gu Rong saw Gu Zhao come in and started chatting tea again.

Hearing his daughter's words, Minister Gu became even happier.

"You are such a modest child. This is a gift from the Emperor. You don't have to share it with others. When you get married, these things can be put in your dowry and put first, so that everyone knows that this is a gift from the Emperor..."

"Master is right. This is a gift from the Emperor to Rong'er. Naturally, it all belongs to Rong'er."

When Old Madam Gu heard this, she saw Gu Zhao walk in and bowed to them.

"Zhao'er is here."

Gu Rong said proudly when he saw Gu Zhao.

"Big sister, this is something the emperor gave me as a reward. Although you didn't go to distribute porridge, you are also the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Can you pick something from here?"

Hearing her daughter's words, Gu Zhu also pretended to be generous.

"Rong'er is right. Sisters should be more generous to each other. Zhao'er, just pick one. This is a reward from the emperor. When you bring it to Marquis Qin's mansion, the people there will look up to you."

Gu Zhao laughed.

How could it be so strange that Gu Rong received the emperor's praise? Could it be?

Gu Zhao thought about the feeling today that someone was staring at her. Although the leading man was dressed simply, his eyes were very sharp, and his aura was different from that of ordinary people.

He looks somewhat similar to the current emperor.

Is that a human skin mask? That's the emperor.

Gu Zhao reacted immediately.

It turned out to be the case.

So, in the past few days, the princes and young masters and young ladies of various mansions have been going out to distribute porridge, and they have been out for several hours. Is it because the emperor will go out to distribute porridge? Are they doing it for the emperor to see?

No wonder there are some ladies who usually never go out, but in these days they are not afraid of hardship, fatigue or cold and are distributing porridge outside.

Seeing Gu Zhao's expression, Gu Rong thought that Gu Zhao was envious of her, and she became even more proud.

"Big sister, I think this head flower is pretty good. It has pearls on it. It can be included in your first trousseau."

As he spoke, Gu Rong handed a very gaudy head flower to Gu Zhao.

"No need. My dowry is quite large, and yours is not much, second sister. You just need this to keep up appearances."

what?

Why is Gu Zhao speaking so harshly now?

Where is Gu Zhao’s dowry so much?

The dowry that the Gu family gave to their daughter was 10,000 taels of silver. Although the dowry was 64 pieces of silver, there was a lot of knowledge in these 64 pieces of silver. Some of the 64 pieces of silver were only a few thousand taels of silver, and they were all things that looked good but were useless and worthless.

Could it be that Gu Zhao had set his eyes on Xie's dowry?

Gu Zhu's face suddenly became a little ugly. Gu Rong also thought of this matter, and the smile on her face disappeared.

Minister Gu frowned and looked at Gu Zhao with displeasure.

Old Madam Gu also understood what Gu Zhao meant.

Is this the Xie family's intention, or Zhao'er's own idea?

Old Madam Gu has been thinking these days that according to the rules, Xie's dowry should be given to Zhao'er. But the Gu family relies on Xie's dowry to live so comfortably. If it is all given away, the future will be tight. At that time, it will also cause outsiders to laugh at Minister Gu's family.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

This sentence has been true since ancient times. Half of the dowry must be given to Zhao'er, otherwise, the Xie family will not agree, and Zhao'er will definitely make a fuss.

Old Madam Gu turned the Buddhist beads in her hand and remained silent.

For a moment, the room fell silent.

Noticing that their masters' faces looked strange, the maids and servants in the room were so frightened that they dared not even breathe.

Gu Rong wanted to mock Gu Zhao a few more times, but she was afraid that Gu Zhao would bring up the dowry, so she could only endure it. Impatience can ruin a big plan. She couldn't let Gu Zhao think about the dowry at this time. She couldn't let the Xie family come to Minister Gu's house to make trouble. Otherwise, Minister Gu's house would be embarrassed.

When Gu Zhao saw that everyone was quiet, she smiled especially gently.

"Zhao'er has something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Seeing Gu Zhao leave, Gu Zhu no longer cared about anything else and her eyes turned to Old Madam Gu.

"Mother, Zhao'er wants to take back Xie's dowry?"

Madam Gu glanced at Gu Zhu indifferently and spoke in a serious tone.

"It is only natural for her to take back Xie's dowry."

Hearing her mother-in-law say this, Gu Zhu became even more anxious.

"Mother, the Gu family needs money everywhere now. Zhao'er and Rong'er are getting married, Qing'er will get married in the future, the marriages of the concubines' sons and daughters, and the master's daily social activities..."

When Old Madam Gu heard what Gu Zhu said, she sneered.

"Ms. Zhu, don't treat everyone as fools. I'm tired. You guys can go back now."

When Mrs. Gu Zhu heard this, tears immediately welled up in her eyes and she looked at Minister Gu with grievance.

Minister Gu moved his lips, wanting to talk to his mother, but when he saw his mother turn around and leave, he didn't say anything more.

Gu Zhao said this on purpose.

After she was reborn, she sent people to investigate her mother's dowry. She never cared about money before, she only wanted family affection. Now after the investigation, she found out that her mother's dowry was so generous.

The annual profit is more than 100,000 taels of silver. The Gu family's annual expenses are tens of thousands of taels of silver, all of which are paid from the mother's dowry.

But my mother's only daughter was bullied by the Gu family.
