"I want to go back home and talk to my family," Xie Yuan insisted.

"it is good."

Old Madam Xie looked at Uncle Xie San and said.

"Third brother, take someone to accompany this child back and talk to her family. And investigate her background."

"Son, I obey."

Xie Yuan looked at Uncle Xie San and nodded at him.

Uncle Xie San accompanied Xie Yuan back home.

Gu Zhao was talking with his grandparents in the hall.

"This child does look very similar to your mother. But she is not your mother. Your mother had a mole behind her ear, but this child does not."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao felt a little sad. She had thought many times how great it would be if her mother was still alive.

So is this person her aunt?

"Eldest wife, send someone to clean up the yard. Replace everything in the yard with the best..."

"As you command, daughter-in-law. I'll take people to clean up right away."

Aunt Xie agreed with a smile.

Aunt Xie San also followed Aunt Xie Da downstairs.

Old Madam Xie looked at Gu Zhao, held her hand and said.

"Zhao'er, don't be sad. Your mother will definitely bless you..."

As Mrs. Xie spoke, her eyes also turned red. The daughter she had held in the palm of her hand was killed just like that.

At first, they did not immediately cause trouble for the Gu Mansion because they had been in Jiangnan and did not have the power to deal with Minister Gu and his men. Another important reason was that they wanted to protect Gu Zhao and the child born by their daughter. If Gu Zhao was left in the Gu Mansion, it might not be long before Zhao'er was killed by Zhu and his men.

They originally wanted to take Zhao'er to Jiangnan to take care of him. But later, Dr. Sun took a fancy to Zhao'er and wanted to take her as his apprentice. The old man knew how powerful Dr. Sun was, so after discussing it with her, he agreed to this matter.

They sent someone to place a fake one in the manor, but they still encountered danger several times. Fortunately, Dr. Sun took Zhao'er away. Otherwise, Zhao'er would not have been able to live safely until now.

"Your grandfather would not leave the second branch as a hidden danger. The two families separated more than ten years ago. Now the first branch and the second branch have long been two families. There is one more thing that your grandfather and grandmother have kept from you, and now is the time to tell you."

Is he hiding something from her? What is it? Is it something about his mother?

"In fact, part of the business you run was awarded to the Xie family by Emperor Taizu... Emperor Taizu once awarded the title of Earl to the Xie family... Over the years, only the current emperor and a few other people knew about this..."

My grandfather turned out to be Uncle Xie?

After hearing what his grandmother said, Gu Zhao was surprised for a while.

"In the past, we followed the words of our ancestors and did not reveal this matter. Now there are too many people watching us. Moreover, we have handed over half of the Xie family's property to the emperor... Your grandfather's intention is to make our identities clear so that these people will not dare to deal with our family secretly in the future... We are not afraid of open attacks..."

Gu Zhao looked at her grandfather, who was looking at her with a faint smile on his face.

"I agree."

It turns out that the Second House has always coveted not only the First House's property, but also the hereditary title of Lord Xie. No wonder Xie Xin, who was like that, was able to marry the Fourth Prince as a concubine.
