After lunch, Mr. Xie and his wife took their family back to the villa.

After returning to the villa, Old Master Xie asked Xie Xin and Xie Yan to leave, leaving only his confidants at the door.

"Big brother, second brother, tell me, has your uncle discovered something?"

Hearing this, the two sons were silent for a while and then spoke.

"Father, my uncle and third cousin probably don't know about this. If they knew, they would definitely report it to the police and deal with us. Besides, they have no evidence."

"Brother is right, they have no evidence."

Xie Jiangliu echoed.

"Old man, what my son and his friends said is true. But that Gu Zhao has really changed. He doesn't even take his elders seriously. He even sent back the things he had given away."

When Mrs. Xie thought of the five thousand taels of silver, she became very angry.

Their money had great uses. One was to help their two sons get promoted to official positions, or to make friends with powerful people. In this way, their second branch would become prosperous.

"Big brother, second brother, how have you been doing in the capital these days?"

After hearing what their father said, they both told him what they had found out.

Hearing that there was no progress, Old Master Xie looked a little unhappy.

"Spend some more money and find out more."

"Yes."

After everyone from the second house left, Gu Zhao was pulled into the room by Old Madam Xie and asked about what had happened in the past few days.

"Zhao'er, how are you doing in Marquis Qin's mansion? Tell your grandmother and uncles quickly."

"Grandma, my granddaughter is doing very well in the Qin Marquis Mansion. My mother-in-law has already given me the power of household management..." Gu Zhao simply recounted the whole story.

Upon hearing that Lady Qin had given the power of housekeeper to Gu Zhao, Old Lady Xie, Aunt Xie's first aunt, and Aunt Xie's third aunt were all very happy.

"This is really great."

"Fortunately, I have taught Butler Zhao'er before..."

"As expected of Zhao Er."

Listening to the praise from the elders, Jiang Yue smiled.

"Zhao'er, what happened today?"

Old Madam Xie was still very worried.

Gu Zhao told the story again.

"Grandmother, aunt, the dowry that Minister Gu's mansion gave me was only half of my mother's. They took all the profits over the years, and Zhao'er didn't spend a penny of the Gu mansion's money, let alone a hundred taels of silver. It was all you, grandmother and aunt, who raised Zhao'er..."

Gu Zhao explained the situation. She had not complained before because she was afraid that her grandmother and the others would worry. "In addition, I also discovered that 20% of the jewelry in my dowry was replaced with fake ones..."

Upon hearing that the jewelry in the dowry had been replaced with fake ones, Mrs. Xie and her two aunts were very angry.

"Asshole, how dare Zhu and the others do such a thing?"

Madam Xie said angrily.

Even if she had given him less dowry, she wouldn't be so angry. These jewels are fake. If Zhao'er took them out and was discovered, she would become a laughing stock in the whole capital. How would Zhao'er be able to walk around then?

Could it be that this was what the Zhu family was planning? They wanted to ruin Zhao'er's reputation and make the prince of Qin divorce Zhao'er?

"Zhu has such a vicious heart."

Aunt Xie said gritting her teeth.

"Grandma and aunt, don't be angry. I have had these jewelries replaced with real ones..." Gu Zhao told them with a smile.

"That's really nice."
