Gu Zhao listened to Cuihua's report and knew that Gu Zhu had broken down and gone crazy, so she couldn't help laughing.

If one person goes crazy like this, and if another one comes, won’t Zhu be pissed to death?

This Miss Shishi is very tactful. She has already sent someone over to show her goodwill. When such a smart person confronts Gu Zhu, there will definitely be a good show to watch.

"Master, the old lady asks you to go to the East Courtyard."

Hearing that Old Madam Gu invited him to go to the East Courtyard, Minister Gu stood up and walked towards the East Courtyard.

"The son has met his mother."

Madam Gu did not ask Minister Gu to get up, but looked at him coldly.

Minister Gu noticed that his mother was in a bad mood and looked up at Old Madam Gu.

"Mother, is there anything my son did wrong to make you angry?" Minister Gu thought about taking a concubine. Could it be that Gu Zhu and his mother had complained about it?

There was a flash of displeasure in his eyes. He had just mentioned taking a concubine, and Zhu dared to report it to his mother. He was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, where could he put his face?

"Get up."

Seeing the displeasure on her son's face, Madam Gu said coldly.

"What are you and Zhu's plans for Zhao'er and Rong'er's dowry?"

Upon hearing his mother say this, Minister Gu said with a smile.

"Mother, I have discussed this matter with Zhu, and we have decided to follow the custom of the Gu family's legitimate daughter getting married, with 10,000 taels of silver notes as a deposit and 68 loads of dowry."

After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Gu felt so angry that she felt dizzy.

"that's it?"

Minister Gu listened to his mother's words and looked at her in confusion.

"That's all. Mother, do you want to give them some more dowry?"

"Snapped."

Old Madam Gu smashed a teacup in front of Minister Gu.

"Kneel down for me."

Minister Gu didn't understand why his mother was so angry. Hearing his mother say this, he still knelt down, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.

"You are really blinded by greed. When Zhao'er gets married, you only give her such a small dowry? If this gets out, you will bring shame to the Gu family."

Hearing this, Minister Gu frowned and said.

"Mother, this has always been the custom of the Gu family. It was the same when my sister got married."

When Mrs. Gu heard Minister Gu mention her daughter, she became even angrier.

"It is true that this is the rule for your sister to get married. But I, your mother, gave her half of my dowry. I want to ask you, what are you going to do with Xie's dowry?"

When Minister Gu heard his mother mention Xie's dowry, a guilty look flashed in his eyes, but he said.

"Mother, Xie married into our family, and Zhao'er was raised by the Gu family. The family has taken good care of her over the years, so Xie's dowry will naturally belong to the Gu family. Moreover, my son plans to register Qing'er under Xie's name, so that Xie will have an heir by then... Xie's dowry will naturally be left to the son under her name..."

Hearing her son's implicit meaning that he didn't want to give the money, Mrs. Gu became even angrier.

Her body was shaking, and Nanny Gu noticed something was wrong and hurried forward to support her.

"Old lady, calm down and don't let your anger get you in trouble."

Old Madam Gu sat on the chair, looking at her eldest son with disappointment. She used to think that her eldest son was a little straightforward, didn't understand some things, and was a little stubborn. But when did he become so selfish?

It was they who asked the Xie family for help in the beginning, not the Xie family who was eager to marry them.

Although the Xie family married into the Gu family, the Xie family gave so much dowry that the Gu family's life was many times better than before. Xie also died of dystocia during childbirth.

Now the eldest son is unwilling to give even Xie’s dowry to Xie’s daughter.
