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

When Mrs. Gu Zhu heard what Minister Gu said, she became furious.

"You're still thinking about Mrs. Xie, right? You think I'm unworthy of mentioning her and can't compare to her? Hahaha... You think you're a good person. You used to look down on Mrs. Xie, but now that you know she's the eldest daughter of the Earl, you remember her good points again... You're really a ruthless person..."

The two of them spoke vicious words to each other, and Minister Gu, in a rage, slapped Gu Zhu a few more times.

"Come here, lock Zhu up in the Buddhist temple and assign someone to guard her strictly. No one is allowed to see her..."

Qinhou Mansion.

Gu Zhao was reading the letter from Qin Chen.

In the letter, Qin Chen said that they had arrived at the post station to rest, which was outside a county town. The moonlight was very bright at night, and many stars could be seen... At the end of the letter, Qin Chen also wrote that he missed her.

Gu Zhao looked at the letter and laughed.

Unexpectedly, Qin Chen's letter would be so casual. She thought it would just be a few words, but she didn't expect it would be four pages.

She could feel Qin Chen's love for her in every word and sentence.

Gu Zhao took out a pen and paper and was about to reply when Cuihua's voice came from the door.

"Master, Qin Shiyi is back."

Gu Zhao spoke up.

"Let him in."

Cuihua and Honger took Qin Shiyi into the study.

"Master, the news just came back from Minister Gu's residence..."

When they heard that people from the Dali Temple had come to arrest someone, Minister Gu and Gu Zhu had a big quarrel. Minister Gu slapped the skin off Gu Zhu's face. They said many hurtful words to each other, and Minister Gu even put Gu Zhu under house arrest.

Gu Zhao laughed.

Gu Zhushi had been in love with Minister Gu for many years, and was usually very arrogant. Now that something happened, the two of them turned against each other.

This time, when faced with danger and their own interests were involved, the two were no longer loving, but shirking responsibility.

Could it be that Minister Gu really doesn’t know about this kind of thing?

It is impossible not to know. Lending money at high interest is not something that has only happened recently. A few years ago, Gu Zhushi had done the same thing. The court had investigated many times. However, because the crackdown was not strong, and some people had taken the blame before and paid compensation, the matter was closed.

The treasury is a bit tight now, and the emperor will not let go of those who are eating the people's blood and sweat easily. What's more, there are some people who deliberately drag others into the water, letting these people take the lead so that they can hide.

For example, Princess Anyang and other aristocratic families.

"Master, Minister Gu has sent many people out, and he is also looking for someone to ask for help..."

It seems that Minister Gu is really anxious.

"Master, Minister Gu may come to see you later."

Gu Zhao laughed.

"I guessed it a long time ago. Tell me, is he here to beg me or to order me?"

After hearing what their master said, Cuihua, Hong'er and the others remained silent.

Minister Gu had always spoken to his master in an imperative tone before, and now I'm afraid that Minister Gu still hasn't changed his mindset.

It was gradually getting dark. After dinner, Gu Zhao was writing a reply in his study.

"Master, Minister Gu has arrived and is now in the main hall..."

Minister Gu is really quick.

Gu Zhao put down his pen, stood up, and walked towards the main hall.

Madam Qin and Madam Qin were talking to Minister Gu in the main hall. Minister Gu did not look as calm as usual at the moment, and he looked much more haggard than in previous days.
