"Mother, I have 20,000 taels of silver here, and I want to give it to you..."

Hearing that Gu Rong offered 20,000 taels of silver notes, Duan was a little surprised.

She thought that Gu Rong would give her a few thousand taels of silver at most. Unexpectedly, he actually gave her 20,000 taels of silver.

"This is your dowry. I dare not accept your money. If this gets out, people will ridicule our Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion..." Although she wanted the money very much, Duan still refused.

Gu Rong stepped forward and handed the banknote to Duan.

"Mother, now that I'm married, this is my home. I want you to keep this money and help me manage it and do some business... If you lose money, it doesn't matter..."

Qin Yao was listening nearby and was very satisfied with Gu Rong's actions.

Gu Zhao and Qin Ye returned to Qin Hou's mansion.

They went to the main courtyard first.

“I’ve met my grandmother, my father, and my mother.”

Seeing Gu Zhao, Lady Qin Hou called out with a smile.

"Have you had dinner yet? If not, come and eat."

"To answer mother, I have already used it. Today's lunch and dinner were both eaten at Xie's house."

When Mrs. Qinhou heard Gu Zhao mention the Xie family, she smiled and said again.

"Zhao'er, go sit over there and tell mother what happened today."

"it is good."

Qin Chen watched his wife go to the living room and sit down. Not long after, his mother came out after finishing her meal. Normally, his mother would take at least an incense stick of time to finish her meal. She came out so quickly just to talk to his wife.

"Tell mother what happened today."

Gu Zhao recounted what happened today at Minister Gu's residence.

After listening, Mrs. Qin Hou raised her thumb and said with a smile.

"Well done. If they don't give you the other half of the dowry after three days, let your father find someone to impeach them..."

Minister Gu is a person who cares about his reputation the most. Now the competition between Minister Gu and the other two ministers in the Ministry of Revenue is also very fierce. If he is impeached for such a thing, Minister Gu might really be punished. So he dared not not return the dowry.

However, if it really comes to this, it will not be good for Zhaoer's reputation.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Qin Hou felt a little worried again.

In fact, this amount of money is a lot of money for other families, but for them, the Qinhou Mansion, it is really nothing.

Over the past hundreds of years, every generation of the Qinhou Mansion has performed well and accumulated a lot of wealth.

"Is there any better way? Let Minister Gu take the initiative to return the dowry?"

Mrs. Qin Hou looked at Qin Chen.

Seeing his mother's gaze, Qin Chen spoke.

"Mother, don't worry. I'll take care of these things."

Hearing her son's words, Lady Qinhou nodded happily.

"You have been out all day today and you must have worked hard. Go back to the courtyard and have a rest. You don't have to pay your respects to your grandmother and mother tomorrow."

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Zhao and Qin Chen returned to the Prince's Courtyard.

Just as Gu Zhao was about to go to the bathroom to wash up, Cuihua walked in quickly.

"Master, Madam, there is an imperial decree from the palace."

Gu Zhao was slightly surprised to hear that there was an imperial decree from the palace.

An imperial decree came from the palace? What was it?

Could it be that this is an order to let my father-in-law return to the border?

Gu Zhao and Qin Chen went to the main courtyard.

The person who came was Eunuch Hai.

"The Emperor has issued an oral order to summon the Marquis of Qin and his wife to the palace to meet the Empress Dowager."
