"Mother-in-law, this is the rule. If Aunt Duan gives birth to a child, the censors will find out and will impeach you. The official positions of the uncle and son-in-law may be lost..."

Zhu threatened.

Even if she was Duan's niece, she couldn't let her daughter give birth to a child before her daughter.

When Duan heard Zhu's threats, her face became even uglier.

Now Zhu really didn't take her seriously. She even dared to threaten her.

Duan was extremely angry, but the Zhu family and Minister Gu really dared to do such a thing. After all, her husband had no real power now, and her son was just a guard in the palace.

Minister Gu is now the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, a person with real power. Now he is also the father-in-law of the Prince of Qin. It is said that many people are trying to curry favor with Minister Gu, and there are more people trying to win over Minister Gu than before.

If Minister Gu really leaks the news, the situation will be really unfavorable for them.

Duan smiled and said.

"Mother-in-law, I need to discuss this matter carefully. After all, a harmonious family is the foundation of everything. Rong'er is the wife of the prince of our Ningyuan Earl's Mansion. Only when we are well can she be well, don't you think?"

When Zhu heard that Lady Ningyuan was threatening her with her daughter, she was extremely angry.

Gu Zhao was so happy when he saw his former allies turning against each other and arguing with each other.

It's so fun to watch them quarrel.

Gu Zhao noticed that Gu Rong was staring at her with a calculating look in his eyes, and he began to laugh.

With Gu Zhao's mind, she could guess what was going on. Gu Rong wanted to deal with Duan Zhen, but was afraid that Duan and Qin Ye would be angry and wanted to push the blame on her.

But Gu Rong didn't expect that whether a concubine of the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion was pregnant or not had anything to do with her.

Gu Rong wanted Duan Zhen to miscarry, but she insisted on helping Duan Zhen keep the baby. This way, they could see that they were in the same nest and fought each other every day.

Gu Rong looked at Gu Zhao and spoke in a low voice.

"Big sister, please say a few words. You don't want our Gu family's reputation to be ruined, do you?"

Hearing Gu Rong's words, Gu Zhao laughed.

"Why has our Gu family's reputation been ruined?"

When Zhu and Gu Rong heard what Gu Zhao said, their faces turned very ugly.

"Zhao'er, if Aunt Duan gave birth to a concubine's eldest son before Rong'er, how would outsiders view our Minister Gu's Mansion? How would your father face his colleagues... And you, if you go to the banquet, people will use this matter to ridicule you..." Zhu said in a somewhat anxious tone.

In this matter, Zhu naturally did not want to offend the Duan family. If Concubine Duan in the palace got angry and the Duan family came to retaliate against the Zhu family, it would be a loss.

But Gu Zhao was different. If Gu Zhao helped his daughter and asked Lady Ningyuan to abort Concubine Duan's pregnancy, Lady Ningyuan and the Duan family would hate Gu Zhao and the Qin Marquis's Mansion.

"Big sister, you have been the best to me in the past, please help me..." Gu Rong also began to show weakness and said nice things.

Duan sat far away and saw Madam Gu, Gu Rong and Gu Zhao talking in low voices. She wondered if they were talking about her niece.

If Gu Zhao really wanted to say something, the situation would become even more troublesome.

The cousins ​​wanted to win over Gu Zhao. If Gu Zhao really said that she wanted to abort her niece's pregnancy, she would not be able to keep this grandson. Concubine Duan and the Fourth Prince would definitely listen to Gu Zhao.
