Gu Zhao spoke up.

"I received news that Xie Yan and his men have been involved with Prince Yu and his men. Although Princess Anyang has not expressed support for any prince, I suspect that the person she is going to support is the Fourth Prince..."

Gu Zhao continued.

"Now that they have made contact, they will definitely set their sights on the Xie family's assets... before long, they will find a way to deal with my grandfather and the others..."

"I have sent people to keep an eye on them. I will protect grandpa and the others..." Qin Chen assured Gu Zhao.

"it is good."

Gu Zhao understood that Qin Chen was more capable than her, and with Qin Chen's guarantee, her grandfather and the others would be fine.

Now we have to find a way to completely separate the first and second branches of the Xie family.

Otherwise, if the second branch of the Xie family commits a crime, the first branch of the Xie family will also be implicated.

Seeing that his wife was silent, Qin Chen looked at her. Gu Zhao noticed Qin Chen's gaze and also looked at Qin Chen.

"Tomorrow morning, you will accompany me back to Minister Gu's residence."

It had been many days since she returned home, and she had not looked back at the Minister's Mansion.

Zhu sent someone to tell her that her grandmother had been ill for several days, so of course she had to go back to see her.

"it is good."

In the morning, after Gu Zhao paid her respects to Old Madam Qin and Lady Qin, Qin Chen accompanied her to Minister Gu's residence.

Minister Gu went to the Ministry of Revenue. When Zhu heard that the Prince of Qin and his wife were coming, she snorted coldly.

"Let them wait."

Yesterday she asked Gu Zhao to go to the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion to rescue her daughter, but Gu Zhao refused to go. Now that Gu Zhao has returned to the Minister's mansion, don't expect her to treat him well. As a junior, she should wait for her.

But Zhu didn't expect that Gu Zhao didn't come to the main courtyard to see her, but took Qin Chen to the east courtyard.

"Met grandma."

Gu Zhao bowed to Old Madam Gu.

Seeing Gu Zhao and Qin Chen bowing to her, Madam Gu smiled.

"Get up quickly."

"Grandma, are you feeling better?"

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

"Grandmother is in good health, thanks to you for inviting the imperial physician and sending so many medicinal herbs over."

Mrs. Gu knew what her eldest son and Zhu had done these days. She had talked to her son several times, but he felt that everything belonged to Minister Gu's mansion. Zhao'er was a daughter who had been married off, and once she got married, she would be gone. Giving her half of the dowry was already very good. She shouldn't have come back to ask for the 100,000 taels of silver.

Madam Gu withdrew her thoughts.

After chatting with Old Madam Gu for a few words, Marquis Qin took his leave as he had to go to Princess Zhaoyang's mansion.

Hearing Qin Chen's words of departure, Old Madam Gu smiled and asked Nanny Gu to see Qin Chen off.

"Madame Gu, please go and see her off."

"Yes."

Madam Gu asked.

"Zhao'er, how are you doing in Marquis Qin's mansion? Grandmother heard that Marquis Qin's wife and others have given you the responsibility of managing the household supplies."

"In reply to grandma, I am in charge of the household affairs in Marquis Qin's mansion. Grandma and mother are also very kind to me."

Hearing Gu Zhao say this, Old Madam Gu was very happy.

The person she felt most sorry for was her granddaughter. Now that her granddaughter was doing well, she was happy.

Just as Madam Gu and Gu Zhao were talking, Zhu came in with Nanny Zhu.

When she saw Gu Zhao, Zhu's eyes changed instantly.

What Gu Zhao was wearing today was Yunjin, which was specially provided to the royal family. Only the emperor rewarded his subjects with such clothes and they were qualified to wear such clothes.

And she, in all the years she had been married to Minister Gu, had never received such a reward.
