Gu Zhao waved Xie Xin away, and Xie Xin looked at Old Madam Xie aggrievedly.

Xie Xin has been trying to coax Old Madam Xie these days, hoping that Old Madam Xie would treat her as well as before. In the past, she just wanted to compete with Gu Zhao and win over him.

But she could never beat Gu Zhao. Whenever she went to the banquet at Minister Gu's mansion, she would borrow Gu Zhao's name to get to know more ladies.

And there was Princess Yuan'an, who had a very good relationship with Princess Fuwei. It would be great if she could talk to Princess Fuwei when she left the palace.

That is the emperor's daughter, Princess Fuwei, the emperor's favorite daughter.

Just like today's Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Anyang, all the ladies of the noble families in the capital were extremely respectful when they mentioned Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Anyang. Some even considered it an honor to receive invitations from Princess Zhaoyang and Princess Anyang.

This time, Old Madam Xie talked about some things in the past. After talking for a while, Old Madam Xie talked about her recent business.

"Sister-in-law, if there is anything that needs our help in the family business recently, please let your brother tell us at any time. These days, my grandfather has been talking about it and wants to help your brother and sister-in-law to make the Xie family better and better..."

Gu Zhao listened to what Second Madam Xie said. Every time Second Aunt came to see Grandpa and Grandma, she had a purpose. Grandpa had given the Second Branch some profitable businesses for the sake of family affection. As long as they did it well, the business would be big, and it would be no problem to earn more than 100,000 taels of silver a year.

However, after the second wife got these businesses, she did not manage them well and only earned 10,000 to 20,000 taels of silver in a year. She also felt that these businesses were too tiring and hard and not profitable.

My grandfather and my third uncle are not afraid of hard work or fatigue. As long as they can earn more money, they will try their best to work hard.

When Mrs. Xie heard what her sister-in-law said, she spoke in a cold manner.

"The first branch has sold off some of its businesses, and has also dumped some unprofitable businesses. Your eldest brother and your third nephew can handle these businesses now. I heard that your second branch's business is booming, and there are rumors that you can make a lot of money this year. I wonder what kind of business it is?"

Hearing what Old Madam Xie said, Second Madam Xie immediately laughed.

"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? How can our second branch's small business compare to your first branch's? The money our second branch earns is not even one finger more than your first branch's. Now this business is done, but I haven't seen any profit yet. If I really make money, I will definitely tell you, sister-in-law..."

Gu Zhao laughed. Gambling houses and loan sharks, which of these two businesses doesn't make money? Moreover, they also teamed up with other people to set up a trap, specifically targeting some wealthy businessmen.

A few days ago, they just cheated a small wealthy businessman and made him bankrupt. Now that they have tasted the sweetness, they will deal with more people in the future. When the time comes, these people will hit a wall...

The emperor hated this kind of people the most, but some people who were blinded by greed thought that these two businesses made money quickly. Some families did not do these two types of businesses openly, but secretly sent their confidants or relatives to do this kind of business.

If they find that something is wrong, they will send away their confidants and in-laws to protect themselves.

In other words, when the time comes, someone will be asked to take the blame, and the most they will be charged with is negligence.
