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

Unlike the Gu Mansion and the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, the vast majority of the expenses are for the mansion, including various supplements, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Part of the Qinhou Mansion's expenditure is for mansion expenses, and some is for personal relationships with various families. Supplements, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings account for a very small proportion.

The annual income of Qinhou Mansion is nearly 100,000 taels of silver, and there is about 40,000 taels of silver left every year. Logically speaking, Qinhou Mansion should have saved about 1 million taels of silver over the years. Where did all that money go?

When Gu Zhao saw Qin Chen come in, she asked Cuihua, Xiaofang and others to leave.

"You all stand down."

When Qin Chen heard his wife's words, his eyes brightened instantly.

The wife wants to be alone with him?

The next second, Gu Zhao's words disappointed him.

"Prince, come here for a moment. I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Qin Chen walked towards Gu Zhao.

"Where did the large sums of money in this mansion go? There are only more than 100,000 taels of silver in the mansion now..."

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Qin Chen laughed.

"My wife is asking about this. The money that was transferred was used by my father. The military pay at the border has always been insufficient... My father has been thinking of ways to make sure the soldiers have better food and warmer clothes..."

What? Not only was the money used to support injured soldiers and their families, but it was also used as military pay.

Gu Zhao was in awe of Lord Qin. It was a blessing for Daxia to have such a great general.

"Father is truly a good general who serves his country and his people."

Hearing Gu Zhao's words of admiration, Qin Chen said again.

"Not only father, but also General Yun and his men. In recent years at the border, it is common for the army to lack pay. General Yun and Princess Zhaoyang have provided a lot of money."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao thought of General Yun and the major generals who died in the battle, and she felt sad again.

The generals and major generals who served the country and the people so well and defended the country are gone.

Seeing Gu Zhao lowering his head sadly, Qin Chen was about to speak when Cuihua's voice came from the door.

"Madam, the master is here."

When Gu Zhao heard Cuihua say that the master was coming, he knew that it was Minister Gu who came.

"Please ask him to go to the main hall."

Gu Zhao and Qin Chen arrived in the hall and saw Minister Gu sitting there with an ugly look on his face as if water was about to drip out.

"I met my father."

When Minister Gu saw Gu Zhao, he snorted coldly.

"You are such a good daughter."

Gu Zhao looked at Minister Gu. She thought that Minister Gu was coming to threaten her and ask her to give up her half of the dowry.

"Father, what brings you here today?"

Gu Zhao also didn't want to chat with Minister Gu.

"Don't you know clearly what my purpose is today?" Minister Gu stared at Gu Zhao, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. This is 100,000 taels of silver. It is enough for him to spend for several years. He had to collect this money again and again, and borrowed tens of thousands of taels of silver from his mother, borrowed another ten thousand taels of silver from his second brother, and asked Zhu Shi to pay tens of thousands of taels to collect enough.

Gu Zhao didn't say anything. Minister Gu looked at Gu Zhao and questioned.

"Gu Zhao, do you think of me as your father?"

"Father, you are joking. If I didn't regard you as my father, I would have taken the complaint to the prefectural government long ago."

"Okay, okay, you are really very good."

Minister Gu said three good words in a row. He was extremely angry, but because of the book, he did not dare to turn hostile.

"Here is a hundred thousand taels of silver."
