The weather is hot now, and Minister Gu's house is not as good as before. There is not much ice, and the sweat is more than before. So now the makeup is ruined. This crying appearance makes Minister Gu disgusted.

Aunt Shi and Aunt Chen were dressed elegantly, with light makeup and good rouge and powder. When they cried, they looked extremely weak. Minister Gu naturally leaned towards the two concubines.

"Snapped."

Minister Gu slapped Zhu in the face.

Zhu was beaten to the ground, covering her face and looking at Minister Gu in disbelief.

"You hit me?"

Zhu didn't expect that Minister Gu would beat her again because of the concubine.

"You actually beat me up for these two bitches?"

Zhu suddenly got up and reached for Minister Gu's face.

"shrew."

Minister Gu did not expect that Zhu would fight back and scratch his face. His face was burning with pain.

Minister Gu pushed Zhu down again.

Minister Gu pulled Aunt Shi and Aunt Chen together and walked outside.

"Ms. Zhu dared to beat her husband. She will be confined to her house for a month." Minister Gu glanced at the faces of the maids and warned.

"If anyone dares to disobey, he will be immediately expelled from the mansion."

The maids and servants all lowered their heads, not daring to make a sound.

Aunt Shi and Aunt Chen turned around and looked at Zhu with provocation in their eyes.

Bitch, these two bitches deliberately hurt her.

She wanted them dead.

Gu Zhu was so angry that she was shaking all over and almost fainted.

Qinhou Mansion.

When Gu Zhao heard that Gu Zhu was slapped by Minister Gu and then confined to her room, she laughed.

Good things happen one after another.

However, this can only help her vent a little, but it cannot eliminate the hatred in her heart.

In the morning, Gu Zhao woke up.

After paying his respects and finishing the affairs in the mansion, Gu Zhao went to Lord Xie’s residence.

On the day of the imperial edict, the plaque in Xie Boye's mansion was replaced with the one bestowed by the emperor. Many passers-by stood not far away and watched.

"Have you heard? This is the Imperial Merchant Earl's Mansion that was awarded by Emperor Taizu. I heard that this family has been doing business for generations and has saved our Daxia from danger many times."

"I've heard of this before."

"During the last snowstorm, the Xie family's shop sold affordable charcoal, and grain, oil, rice and flour were much cheaper than other shops. So it was their family."

"He's a very good man!"

"They are so good, they really deserve the reputation."

"I wonder if Uncle Xie will come out today? If they hadn't sold cheap food during the snowstorm, our whole family would have starved to death."

"My benefactor, Uncle Xie is such a good man."

More and more people gathered opposite Lord Xie's mansion and around the road, talking about how many good deeds Lord Xie's mansion had done over the years.

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty is truly wise. Lord Xie's mansion is a great contributor to our Great Xia."

There were also people in the crowd saying unpleasant things.

"You guys are talking so well. In my opinion, this Xie Bo's family is extremely hypocritical. Why didn't they do good deeds before? Why did they do good deeds only this year?"

"That's right. I've never heard of the Xie family doing anything good before."

After hearing what these people said, someone immediately refuted.

"Who said that Lord Xie's mansion didn't do good deeds in the past few years? They spend a lot of money on charity every year."

"Yes, I am from Jiangnan. I am almost fifty years old this year. I have heard of the good reputation of the Xie family since I was a child..."
