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

Time flies, and it is time for Qin Hou Mansion to deliver the betrothal gifts.

"Miss, the betrothal gifts have arrived from Marquis Qin's mansion." Cuihua and Xiaofang ran in to announce the good news.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Gu Zhao's face.

"Guess how many?"

Hearing this, Gu Zhao replied.

"One hundred and twenty-eight?"

Hearing the eldest lady's words, Cuihua looked at her in surprise.

"How do you know?"

Gu Zhao stood up and tapped Cuihua's forehead with a smile.

"Looking at how happy you are, there must be a lot of them."

"Miss, the Marquis's wife and the prince really value you. That's great."

Gu Zhao listened to their words, took a sip of tea and asked.

"The Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion has also sent the betrothal gifts, right?"

"It came, and they said it was a hundred and twenty loads, but I saw that it was not full at all, and it looked like there were not many valuable things."

"Yes, I saw it. It didn't take much effort for them to carry it here."

As they were talking, Nanny Qin walked in quickly.

"Miss, where do you think these betrothal gifts are placed?"

Hearing what Nanny Qin said, Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"Cuihua, take them to the warehouse."

Gu Zhao had already arranged for the people in the courtyard to vacate several houses. The warehouse in her courtyard had plenty of space, and the door locks and windows of the rooms had also been repaired long ago.

If these things were placed in the storehouse in Minister Gu's mansion, there was no telling how many of them would be exchanged for by Zhu when she got married.

So these things can only be placed in her yard.

"Miss, the master and his wife are here."

Hong'er ran over quickly to report.

Minister Gu walked in with Zhu, with a gloomy face.

"Rebellious girl, who told you to put the betrothal gifts sent by Marquis Qin's mansion in your courtyard?"

"Father, this is the betrothal gift for my daughter. Where else can I put it if not in her yard?"

Upon hearing this, Minister Gu became angry.

"Of course it is placed in the storehouse of the mansion. How can you, an unmarried young lady, manage these dowries? If it gets out, people will laugh at you and make you look disgraced."

Seeing Zhu's smug look, Gu Zhao understood that it was Zhu and Gu Rong who spoke in front of Minister Gu, so Minister Gu came to make such a request.

"These things are my betrothal gifts. Of course I have the right to keep them in my courtyard. Father, have you forgotten that other mansions are the same?"

In some mansions, the dowry is actually placed in the courtyard of the daughter of the family, so that it can be taken away together with the dowry.

Some families put it in the storeroom of the mansion. No matter which one it is, it is fine. It will not bring shame to the Gu Mansion as Minister Gu said.

Why could Gu Zhu and the others want these things?

Either they would deduct some of her betrothal gifts and give them to Gu Rong as a dowry, or they would replace some of the valuables in the betrothal gifts with fake ones.

As for gold and silver jewelry, once they are melted, who knows where they will go. Who will she turn to then?

"How dare you make excuses? I am the one who makes the decisions in this mansion."

Minister Gu said with an angry look on his face.

"Master, why don't you just listen to Zhao'er? This is indeed her betrothal gift. She is young and has never seen the world. It is her first time seeing so many good things, so it is inevitable that she wants to see and touch them..."

At this moment, Gu Zhu pretended to be virtuous, as if she was not the one who instigated Minister Gu to be angry.
