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

Gu Zhao nodded, picked up the dagger from yesterday, and looked at the big red envelope again.

She didn't look at what it was yesterday and guessed it was a banknote.

When she opened it and saw a thick stack of banknotes inside, Gu Zhao was surprised.

This turned out to be a silver note worth 12,000 taels.

Qin Chen’s move was too generous.

She put the banknotes back and planned to return them to Qin Chen.

When Gu Zhao arrived at the main courtyard, Madam Gu and Minister Gu were talking. Gu Zhao saw that Aunt Shi was also there, but Gu Zhu, Gu Rong, and Gu Qing had not arrived yet. Master Gu, Madam Gu, and the younger generation were all there.

"I've met my grandmother, my father, my second uncle and my second aunt."

"Zhao'er is here, hurry up and get up, this is the New Year's money your grandmother gave you."

Old Madam Gu handed Nanny Gu a red envelope with a smile.

"Thank you grandma."

When Minister Gu saw Gu Zhao looking at him, he took out a silver note from his arms.

"Thank you father."

Mrs. Gu also took out a red envelope, which contained a gold hairpin she had picked out earlier.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt."

After Gu Zhao got the things, he saw Gu Zhushi wearing a mask, walking in with Gu Rong and Gu Qing.

Gu Rong also wore a mask on his face.

This mask was actually a fox mask, which looked okay. But on the first day of the new year, wearing such a mask, Gu Zhao smiled.

After Gu Rong came in and saw Gu Zhao, she glared at him hatefully.

Yesterday at the New Year's Eve dinner, my mother made a big fool of herself. It was all Gu Zhao's fault. Gu Zhao, just wait. After we get married, I will make you look bad.

By then, you will know who has the last laugh.

Gu Zhao said with a mocking smile on his face.

"The masks on Madam and Second Sister's faces are really unique."

Aunt Shi also echoed.

"It's New Year's Day, Madam and Second Miss's masks are so beautiful."

Gu Zhu looked at Aunt Shi fiercely and warned her.

"you shut up."

Aunt Shi pretended to be scared again.

Minister Gu was immediately displeased.

"Come with me to worship our ancestors." Old Madam Gu spoke first.

Everyone followed to worship their ancestors and then returned to the hall to eat.

Because she changed the mask, Gu Zhu no longer had any powder on her face, and she looked a little more mysterious.

"master."

Hearing Gu Zhu calling him, Minister Gu looked at Gu Zhu.

"I have something to discuss with you later."

"Ah."

Hearing Minister Gu's agreement, Gu Zhu looked at Aunt Shi proudly.

A mere concubine actually dared to challenge her, the wife of the principal wife. When the wound on her face heals a little, she will definitely kill Aunt Shi.

During the New Year holidays, all the cities in the capital were extremely quiet this year because of the snowstorm in the capital before the New Year, the arrests of people whose shops were inspected, and the war on the border.

The families involved are all trying to find a way to get the person out. Some are also thinking of ways to get their family out if they can't get the person out. They can't let anything happen to their family.

Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu Zhu also discussed it and decided to give the families of the two shopkeepers 100 taels of silver and ask them to plead guilty and admit all the crimes.

At first, those families disagreed, so Gu Zhu raised the price by another 100 taels of silver.

Money can make people happy. Two hundred taels of silver is more than some people can earn in their entire lives. Moreover, Zhu sent people to instigate those families. The sons and daughters-in-law of the two families started to make a fuss.

Then he let them in to see the two shopkeepers.
