"I met my father."

Hearing Gu Zhao calling him father, Minister Gu forced a smile and said.

"Hurry and get free of charge."

Minister Gu looked at Gu Zhao. He had felt that Gu Zhao did not look like him or Xie. When Gu Zhao first came back, Zhu had mentioned this matter. And the Taoist priest said that he was...

Minister Gu collected his thoughts and said with a smile.

"Zhao'er, father has something to tell you."

"Grandma and mother-in-law are not outsiders. Dad, just tell me what you want to say."

Upon hearing Gu Zhao's words, the smile on Minister Gu's face froze.

How could he talk about such a big thing in front of Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin Hou's wife?

If he said this, he would be finished. He must not let outsiders know about this matter. If other people knew about it, they might be impeached by the censor, and then he would lose his position as Minister Gu.

"It's a major matter concerning the Gu family. It's not convenient to tell Old Madam Qin and Madam Qin Hou."

When Old Madam Qin heard what Minister Gu said, she naturally knew what was going on. She spoke.

"Zhao'er, take your father back to the Prince's Courtyard and listen to what your father has to say."

"Thank you, Madam Qin."

Hearing Madam Qin's persuasion, Minister Gu thanked her happily.

"it is good."

Gu Zhao took Minister Gu to the Prince's Courtyard.

Gu Zhao sat down on the main seat. Seeing Gu Zhao sit down directly without being invited to sit up, Minister Gu frowned.

Gu Zhao raised his eyes and looked at Minister Gu.

"Father, just tell me what you want to say."

After hearing Gu Zhao's cold words, Minister Gu didn't know how to speak. But thinking that this was a matter of life and death for the Gu family, Minister Gu still spoke.

"Zhao'er, a huge incident has happened in the mansion. You must help your father."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Gu Zhao pretended to be surprised.

"Could it be that the mansion is short of money? Father, although I have my mother's dowry, part of the one million taels of silver that my grandfather donated to the national treasury a while ago was given by me."

what?

The one million taels of silver that Lord Xie donated to the national treasury actually had money contributed by Gu Zhao?

"How much did you give?"

Gu Zhao said with a smile.

"Why does father ask so clearly?"

Gu Zhao did give 100,000 taels of the 1 million taels of silver that my grandfather donated to the court. Thank you, my grandfather, grandmother, and uncle, they all disagreed at first. Gu Zhao persuaded them, saying that she was rich now, and if my grandfather and his family could easily give out 1 million taels of silver, the emperor's attention would also fall on them...

And she also helped to pay a sum of money, so that the emperor would feel that the Xie family had already paid most of the money and would not keep a close eye on the Xie family.

Later, Gu Zhao persuaded them all, and Xie's grandfather gave Gu Zhao some shops worth more than 100,000 taels. All of them were transferred to Gu Zhao's name. They were shops in the capital.

The shops near the Food Hall are extremely valuable. One shop costs tens of thousands of taels of silver, and smaller ones cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

The silver in other streets ranged from thousands of taels in small ones to tens of thousands of taels in large ones.

Hearing Gu Zhao's tone, Minister Gu became even angrier. The Xie family made a donation, and they also asked Gu Zhao to give them money. Judging from Gu Zhao's expression, it must not be a small amount. When he thought about how tight the Gu family had been living recently, Minister Gu became even angrier.

But no matter how angry he was at this moment, Minister Gu had to hold his legs together, otherwise, Gu Zhao would definitely not help him.

"This money is for you to live on, how can you give it to the Xie family?"
