Gu Zhao stopped and looked towards the source of the sound.

"Big sister, long time no see."

Gu Qing walked up with a smile on his face.

Gu Zhao looked at Gu Qing, but there was no smile on his face as before.

"How are my elder sister and brother-in-law these days?"

Gu Zhao listened to Gu Qing's caring words and replied.

"pretty good."

"I have been busy with my studies these days and have not been to the Marquis Qin's mansion to visit you, elder sister and brother-in-law. Please forgive me, elder sister."

Gu Qing's face was full of guilt, as if he really blamed himself.

"It doesn't matter. Your studies are important."

Gu Zhao replied calmly.

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, Gu Qing immediately felt uneasy. Could it be that Gu Zhao was doubting him? But since Gu Zhao came back, he had always been helping Gu Zhao, and Gu Zhao's attitude towards him had always been very good.

"Big sister, are you back today because of father's birthday party?" Gu Qing smiled even more. "Father has been talking about you these days. If he knew you were back, he would be very happy..."

Look, what a nice thing this person said.

Gu Zhao felt that he was really stupid in the past.

"Today, Madam said that she wanted to spend tens of thousands of taels of silver to hold a birthday banquet for my father. I think that's inappropriate. Minister Gu's mansion is very popular right now. If we hold a birthday banquet like this, we will definitely be impeached by the censor."

After hearing what Gu Zhao said, Gu Qing knew that he couldn't say anything else and could only go along with what Gu Zhao said.

"Big sister, you are very thoughtful. I will talk to mother and the others about this."

"Ah."

Gu Zhao glanced at the dark circles under Gu Qing's eyes and she laughed.

"Just read the book carefully."

"Take care, big sister."

When Gu Qing heard Gu Zhao's words, he felt something strange.

Could it be that the elder sister knows what has happened to him recently?

Impossible. He hasn't gone gambling recently and has been going to brothels less often.

But, the girl he liked.

Thinking of this, Gu Qing's face looked a little ugly.

"Someone is coming."

When the servant heard his words, he immediately stepped forward.

"Young Master."

"Send someone to find out if there are any suspicious people watching me recently..."

He had heard a lot about Han Qi's affairs. He couldn't be as stupid as Han Qi, being framed and losing his reputation.

Before, Han Qi was very popular among the teachers, but now many of the teachers’ attitudes towards Han Qi are much colder than before.

However, Han Qi does have talent, and many teachers have thought that Han Qi will definitely get first place in the exam next year.

He is also working hard now, and he believes that he will definitely be better than Han Qi.

Gu Qing is suspicious and will overthink everything he does. He is not like his mother and sister.

Now, Minister Gu's residence is indeed getting better and better. But Gu Zhao took so much money away. Minister Gu's residence is a little stretched.

He had originally told his mother to lower her status, coax Gu Zhao more, and coax some money back, but his mother and second sister messed everything up.

Now Gu Zhao's attitude towards him seems to have changed.

He had to find a way to make Gu Zhao treat him the same as before.

He didn't have much money now. Gu Zhao had 200,000 taels of silver. He also owned more than a dozen shops. Not only that, the household expenses of Qinhou Mansion were still in Gu Zhao's hands.

My mother used to manage the household affairs of the Gu Mansion and could save several thousand taels of silver a year. If Gu Zhao wanted to be greedy for money from a noble family like the Qinhou Mansion, he would definitely get more.
