Gu Zhu and Gu Rong returned to the main courtyard. After sending the servants away, Gu Rong spoke.

"Mother, Gu Zhao is stubborn now. We need to find a way to make him obey."

Gu Zhu's face was gloomy. She was angry because she didn't achieve her goal today.

Nowadays, all kinds of expenses in the Gu Mansion have been cut down, except for the old lady, who still maintains the same expenses as before.

In the past few months, the master had been very unhappy with her, thinking that she was not managing the house well.

But the Gu family only had so little money, although it was almost June and some income would come in. But it was easy to go from simple to extravagant, but it was difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. Not to mention other people, even she felt very uncomfortable now.

Sometimes when I wanted to eat something, I couldn’t buy it as casually as before. I could only send the maids to buy some to try.

In the past, she never thought about how much money she spent on anything she bought. But now, every time she spent tens or even hundreds of taels of silver, she felt a little distressed.

She would never use her private money to subsidize the family. Her private money was for her son and daughter. She also needed some money to manage things on a daily basis, to get information, or to buy off some people.

Before, the cloth and clothes she bought all cost several hundred taels, but now she can only spend a few dozen taels or even a hundred taels.

She couldn't endure such a hard life at all.

"Don't spend the money you have carelessly. And don't use it to support your husband's family. You have to save it well. I can't support you much now. As for the wound on your face, when Dr. Sun comes back, I will find a way to pay him to heal you..."

After hearing the first words, Gu Rong's face turned a little ugly. Just as she was about to cry, she felt better after hearing the second words.

"Mom, if I don't fix my face, it will be ruined. These days, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and I feel that my skin is getting more and more itchy when I stick this on..."

This is what Gu Rong is most worried about. She smiles in front of people every day. Before she got pregnant, she had to go to her mother-in-law to serve her. Now that she is pregnant, her mother-in-law exempts her from paying respects. But in order to win over Duan Zhen, she can only pay respects to her grandmother and mother-in-law every day. And she also thinks of ways to win over the maids and servants around her mother-in-law and grandmother, and it works. She knows everything about Duan Zhen every day.

However, it is not easy for her to deal with Duan Zhen.

"Mom will find a way. When that divine doctor Sun comes back, I will send someone to invite him. Or I can ask your brother to help invite him."

Zhu and Gu Rong didn't know that Dr. Sun was Gu Zhao's master. If they knew, they would definitely spread the news and try to profit from it.

"Mother, how is the first wife of the Xie family doing now? And the second wife of the Xie family, I heard from my mother-in-law that the second wife of the Xie family is now doing business in the capital, and it is quite big..."

The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then Gu Qing walked in.

"Mother, sister."

Gu Qing looked a little ugly.

"Qing'er, why do you look so ugly?"

Gu Qing told Gu Zhao about what happened just now.

Hearing his brother say this, Gu Rong said unhappily.

"Gu Zhao hasn't changed at all. She is now the wife of the Duke of Qin, and she has become a little complacent. She doesn't take us seriously at all... She will definitely kneel down in front of me and beg me in the future..."
