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

"Perhaps I caught the eye of Princess Zhaoyang, so she adopted me as her adopted daughter."

Gu Zhao naturally would not talk about what happened in the past.

"It's that simple?"

"that's it?"

Zhu and Gu Rong looked at Gu Zhao in disbelief. They wanted to hear how Gu Zhao had coaxed Princess Zhaoyang into being so nice to him. Unexpectedly, it was just a matter of chemistry.

Gu Zhao must be lying. How can there be any affinity between us?

If it was really a matter of rapport, why wouldn't Princess Zhaoyang like her? She had been raised in the capital for more than ten years and was well-educated and well-mannered, unlike Gu Zhao, a country girl who didn't know any rules.

Gu Zhao glanced at Gu Rong indifferently.

Gu Rong saw Gu Zhao's expression, frowned, and touched her belly again. She had seen Duan Zhen touching her belly every day after she became pregnant, looking very proud. She thought Duan Zhen was really shameless.

But now, after she got pregnant, she felt that doing so could really irritate people. Look at Gu Zhao, now with a cold face, I don't know how jealous he is of her.

"Mother, what are your and grandmother's plans for father's birthday?"

Hearing Gu Rong's words, Zhu looked at Gu Zhao and said with a smile on her face.

"We are discussing this matter. Although you and your elder sister are married, you are still part of the family. Naturally, you have to help out..."

Hearing his mother's words, Gu Rong smiled and nodded, looked at Gu Zhao and said.

"Big sister, you wouldn't be unwilling to help, right? If it weren't for grandpa and father, how could you have married so well? Now my father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. If we don't hold a big birthday banquet, it will definitely lose face for Minister Gu's mansion, the Qin Marquis' mansion, and the Ningyuan Earl's mansion..."

Hearing Gu Rong talking big, Gu Zhao started laughing.

"Oh, then tell me, how can we contribute?"

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Gu Rong was secretly delighted and immediately spoke.

"For father's 40th birthday banquet, we will have to set up dozens of tables, each table will cost 200 taels, and invite the chef from the food hall to come, plus the best wine, it will cost at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. Big sister, you got a dowry of 200,000 taels of silver before, so asking you to pay 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver is not too much, right?"

Why would it cost tens of thousands of taels of silver to hold a birthday banquet? Gu Rong deliberately deceived Gu Zhao and wanted to make a fortune from it. If Gu Zhao paid 20,000 or 30,000 taels of silver, she and her mother could each get 10,000 taels of silver.

"How many heads of the Gu family are there worth chopping off? A birthday banquet cost tens of thousands of taels of silver. Do you think that father has been sitting in the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for too long and want him to be thrown into prison?"

"Pah, pah, pah, big sister, how can you curse father?"

Gu Rong looked at Gu Rong with some anger.

Zhu also looked at Gu Zhao angrily.

"Zhao'er, this is your father, how can you say that?"

Gu Zhao glanced at Zhu and Gu Rong, then looked at Old Madam Gu.

"Grandmother, do you think they are right? How many tens of thousands of taels of silver does it cost to hold a birthday banquet?"

When Mrs. Gu heard what Gu Zhao said, she was also a little unhappy. How could Zhaoer curse her own father? Although she felt that spending so much money on this banquet was indeed too much.

She had never been so extravagant when she celebrated her birthday before. But Zhao'er's suggestion of beheading her was indeed unlucky.

"Your father's birthday party really cannot be extravagant. We in the Gu family must be careful with our words and actions now. But, Zhao'er, your words about beheading are not auspicious either."
