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

Zhu and Gu Rong were very proud when they heard what Old Madam Gu said.

They all raised their chins and looked at Gu Zhao.

"Zhao'er, your sister wants to honor your father. Mother-in-law is right, our family is not extravagant, but this money still needs to be spent. When you got married, you took all the money in the family with you. Now the family is a little stretched, and we need your help..."

Gu Zhao was not disappointed with what Old Madam Gu said. Although her grandmother was somewhat sincere to her, Old Madam Gu valued Minister Gu, Gu Qing, and the reputation of the Gu family more.

"Madam, I don't agree with what you said. What do you mean I took all the money from the mansion with me when I got married? That was my mother's dowry, which was left to me, her daughter. Otherwise, how about we settle the account of my mother's dowry?"

In just one sentence, Zhu was stuck.

Settling the account for Xie’s dowry?

How to calculate it? When she married her husband, she only had a dowry of several thousand taels of silver. Now her jewelry is worth more than several thousand taels of silver. Privately, she has also saved some money. Minister Gu's mansion has relied on Xie's dowry to live a good life for so many years.

Bitch! Xie has been dead for so many years, and now Gu Zhao is still digging up old grudges.

"Zhao'er, what's past is past. Let's talk about the present. How much do you plan to pay for your father's birthday banquet?" Zhu talked about money directly.

She felt that if she spoke to Gu Zhao in a way that was meant to imply something, he would be pissed off to death. It would be better to just pay directly.

Gu Zhao knew very well that Gu Zhu was just trying to set a trap for her to fall into.

"Rong'er plans to pay five thousand taels of silver." Gu Zhu said with a smile.

When Gu Rong heard this, he widened his eyes and looked at his mother in disbelief. When did she say that she would pay five thousand taels of silver?

She couldn't bear to spend five hundred taels of silver. Moreover, the Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion would definitely pay for her father's birthday banquet. How could she be asked to pay?

Seeing his mother winking at him, Gu Rong immediately understood what her mother meant.

She smiled and nodded.

"Father's 40th birthday is the most important. I don't have much money, so giving five thousand taels of silver is a token of my appreciation. Big sister, you are much richer than me, so you won't give less than me, right?"

Hehe. Gu Rong paid, and it was impossible for Gu Rong to pay 500 taels. Gu Zhu was now in charge of the household affairs of the mansion, and it was absolutely false that Gu Rong paid 5,000 taels of silver. The mother and daughter were acting for her.

When Mrs. Gu heard what Gu Rong said, she looked at Gu Rong with a look of satisfaction. She didn't expect that her second granddaughter would be so generous today.

"Is the Gu family so poor now? My father actually wants his daughter to give him five thousand taels of silver for his birthday? If this gets out, my father will be impeached by the censor, right?"

Gu Zhao, this bitch, is unwilling to pay and even brings up the censors as an excuse.

Gu Zhu was extremely angry, but she still put on a smile.

"Zhao'er, this is the love of your daughters. The Gu family is naturally not poor. And if you and we don't say anything about this matter, how can it be spread? If there is an imperial censor to impeach, it will not only hurt your father, but also you married daughters..."

After all, Gu Zhu still treated her as a sucker.

"I haven't been back to the capital for long, but when other mansions hold birthday banquets, the married women only give a gift. I'll go to General Zhao's mansion to ask my aunt and the others, or ask my mother-in-law, and see what their rules are, and I'll give that much."
