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

Gu Zhao received the news in the morning.

She was looking at the medicinal herbs in front of her, and after hearing Cuihua's words, she laughed.

This matter was already expected by her. How could Minister Gu and Gu Zhu be willing to return all her mother's dowry to her?

The list of dowry was kept in the Xie family, the Gu family, and the government office. Now that it was burned, even if the Xie family produced the list, the Gu family would not acknowledge it. Then who could prove that the list of dowry was real?

Minister Gu and Mrs. Zhu still have some tricks up their sleeves.

However, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Their plan had been shattered. The things burned were not the real dowry list at all. Not only that, the other dowry lists were also saved.

Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu Zhu also offended the families where the dowry lists were kept.

When Gu Zhao went to the East Courtyard to pay his respects, Gu Zhushi and Gu Rong were also there. The two of them swept away the gloom of the previous few days and had huge smiles on their faces.

With such little cunning, she was actually deceived by them in her previous life. Gu Zhao couldn't help but spit in his heart.

"Meet Grandmother, Madam, and Second Aunt."

Seeing Gu Zhao, Old Madam Gu nodded with a smile.

"Get up."

After Gu Zhao stood up, Old Madam Gu spoke.

"Zhao'er, Rong'er, the Chinese New Year is coming in a few days. This year is the last year you will celebrate the Chinese New Year at home. In the future, you will become the daughter-in-law of someone else's family. Grandmother is reluctant to let you go..."

Gu Zhao didn't say anything, but Gu Rong rushed over, grabbed Madam Gu's sleeve, and choked with sobs.

"Grandma, I miss you so much. I will come back to see you often..."

Now Gu Zhao is indifferent to these scenes.

Gu Zhu and Gu Rong were saying sentimental words, while Gu Zhao stood aside with a calm expression.

Gu Zhu spoke deliberately.

"Zhao'er, don't you have anything to say to your grandmother?"

"No."

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Gu Rong said deliberately.

"Grandma, my elder sister may not be very good at speaking, but that doesn't mean she has no feelings for you. Please don't be angry with her..."

Gu Zhao listened to Gu Rong's teasing and simply ignored him.

Madam Gu said with a smile.

"You are all good children." She looked at Zhu again. "You have to sort out the children's dowries in the next few days and prepare them for them."

Old Madam Gu spoke to Gu Zhao again.

"Zhao'er, grandma has discussed this with your father and mother. Your mother and her family are already sorting out your mother's dowry, and they will give you half of it. Over the years, the mansion has had a lot of expenses, and some shops have been running at a loss, and the harvest on the farm has not been very good. You are an adult now, and I hope you can understand..."

"The shops are not making enough to cover their expenses? But my third uncle and his people found out before that the several shops in the Gu Mansion have an annual income of tens of thousands of taels of silver. In the past ten years, except for two years with poor profits, the harvest of the manor has been very good in all other times. Grandmother, you were not cheated by the shopkeeper and the manager, were you?" Gu Zhao pretended to be confused and asked, but in fact he was saying that Gu Zhu was cheating Old Madam Gu.

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Gu Zhu's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The Xie family actually secretly investigated the Gu family. How could a group of merchants have the courage to do that?

Madam Gu's face didn't look very good either.

In the past few years, she handed the things over to Gu Zhu to manage, but still retained some staff.
