When Minister Gu left the Xie family, he became more and more angry.

He remembered the grievances he had suffered today, and he would definitely make Xie San pay in the future.

After returning to the Gu Mansion, Minister Gu went to see Zhu.

When Zhu saw her husband, she immediately came forward to greet him.

"Master, what do the Xie family say?"

Minister Gu had a gloomy face and said nothing.

Seeing Minister Gu like this, Zhu knew that the Xie family had not relented, and she was also very angry. She deliberately put on eye drops and said.

"Master, what should we do now? We don't have that much money at home. If we give it all away, we will be strapped for cash in the future. Besides, Qing'er still has to get married..."

When he heard that his legitimate son was going to get married, as well as his illegitimate sons and daughters, Minister Gu's face became even uglier.

Zhu continued to instigate.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the study first."

Minister Gu returned to the study and saw a booklet on the table. He opened it immediately and saw what was inside. He was so panicked that he almost fainted.

He immediately looked around.

"Who?"

"Who is it? Come out." Minister Gu didn't expect that someone would enter his study. And this booklet turned out to be the result of his previous mistakes...

When he saw the paper and what was written on it, Minister Gu became anxious.

"Someone is coming."

The servant at the door came in immediately.

"master."

"Who came into the study?"

Hearing this, the two servants spoke quickly.

"Master, no one has entered the study. We have kept it locked..."

"Master, we have been guarding the door the whole time, but we didn't see anyone go in. The lock was only opened after you came back."

"Have you closed all the doors and windows?"

"It's closed."

Hearing this, Minister Gu slammed the door shut.

He looked at the document again and saw that it told him to return Xie's dowry, otherwise it would appear before the censor.

Is it Gu Zhao?

This rebellious girl actually dared to threaten her father?

Minister Gu smashed a lot of things in anger, and the candlelight in the study was on all night.

After waking up in the morning, Gu Zhao went to the East Courtyard to pay his respects to Old Madam Qin.

"I've met my grandmother and mother."

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Old Madam Qin said with a smile.

"You haven't had breakfast yet, come and have some with grandma."

The maids immediately set the table.

After Gu Zhao accompanied him to have breakfast, Lady Qinhou smiled and sent him away.

"Zhao'er, go back to your own courtyard and take care of yourself. Your grandmother has your mother here."

"Zhao'er, take your leave."

Gu Zhao returned to the Prince's Courtyard.

She specifically chose the room next to Qin Chen's study to use as her study to handle matters in the mansion.

Even though Gu Zhao had just taken over the household affairs of the mansion, there were no problems. For every matter that the steward came in to report, Gu Zhao quickly proposed a solution, and for some, Gu Zhao asked them to do it according to the previous practice.

When these managers went out, other people asked about it, and the managers praised them with admiration.

And all this news was also spread to the Ningyuan Earl's Mansion.

After being busy for more than an hour, Gu Zhao put down the account book.

The Qinhou Mansion is indeed a large family with a large business. The annual expenditure is about 50,000 taels of silver, but the other 10,000 taels of silver are separate expenses. Gu Zhao saw that it was marked on it, which was for the families of the sacrificed soldiers and the disabled soldiers...

Seeing this, Gu Zhao's eyes were red. His parents-in-law were really good people. Every year, they set aside such a sum of money to support the military families and disabled soldiers.
