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

Minister Gu looked through the crowd and towards the entrance of the palace.

Impossible, it couldn’t be that merchant.

"Announce that Lord Xie is here to see you."

The eunuchs passed the message loudly to the outside one by one. After a while, they heard footsteps coming towards the hall.

All the ministers in the hall were surprised to see Lord Xie approaching.

"This is actually Uncle Xie?"

"It's him?"

"This is the grandfather of the Qinhou's son's wife."

"Is this Minister Gu's father-in-law?"

"The Xie family in Jiangnan was actually the uncle appointed by Emperor Taizu himself?"

"Oh my god, this is incredible."

Uncle Xie stopped in the hall and kowtowed to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, long live the emperor."

Looking at Lord Xie wearing the clothes of a lord and with a head full of white hair, the emperor called out with a smile.

"Thank you, Master, stand up."

"My minister obeys."

Old Master Xie stood up, lowered his head and said nothing.

"My dear ministers, have you heard that Emperor Taizu once awarded a brother of his assent as Lord Xie? He is the ancestor of Lord Xie in front of you. When Emperor Taizu was alive, he once said that as long as the Great Xia Dynasty exists, there will be Lord Xie. The Xie family and the Great Xia Dynasty live and die together..."

"I have heard my ancestors talk about this."

"I have also heard the elders talk about it."

The emperor listened to the words of the ministers below and looked at Old Master Xie who was kneeling on the ground with a respectful face. Over the years, Old Master Xie and his men had provided millions of taels of silver to the national treasury, which was indeed a great contribution.

It doesn't matter if they stand up now because of the position of Lord granted by Emperor Taizu. By then, his good sons and those people in the dark will definitely think of ways to win over Old Master Xie. He only needs to watch in secret to know who has evil intentions.

"Everyone, come and meet our hero, Lord Xie."

The emperor said to his ministers with a smile.

"Meet Uncle Xie."

After the emperor spoke, several cabinet ministers also stepped forward and spoke to Old Master Xie.

Several dukes also stepped forward and bowed to Old Master Xie.

"Master Xie, I am Duke Zheng."

"Hello, Duke Zheng."

"Master Xie, I am Duke Jiang."

Old Master Xie responded to everyone with a smile.

Minister Gu was shocked to see this scene. He had never thought that the father-in-law of the Xie family, whom he despised, was actually the uncle of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the title was bestowed by Emperor Taizu.

So when Xie married him, did she marry him as the eldest daughter of the Earl?

How could this be?

Why did the Xie family keep all this secret? Why didn't they let him know? If he knew, he would never...

After greeting Old Master Xie, many ministers looked at Minister Gu with a gloating look.

They want to see what Minister Gu will do this time.

Originally, Minister Gu married a cash cow and brought her home. But, the original wife died while giving birth, and within three months, he immediately married a second wife. Now, the father of the original wife has become an uncle, so Minister Gu is picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

"Master Gu, that's your father-in-law, why don't you go up and say hello?"

"Master Gu, you are really good at hiding things. You didn't even tell us such a big thing."

"Master Gu, you are really lucky this time."

"Master Gu, go and meet your father-in-law."

Minister Gu was being talked about by many people, and he felt as if he was slapped in the face, with a burning pain.
