Gu Rong immediately understood what his mother meant and started crying with a handkerchief in his hand.

"grandmother."

When Mrs. Gu heard her second granddaughter crying, her face became even uglier. She was still alive and well, why was Gu Rong crying now?

"Grandma, my granddaughter feels wronged. What can I do... Prince Ningyuan..."

Gu Rong naturally knew that she couldn't say too much, and her mother had to do the rest.

Gu Zhu bowed to Old Madam Gu with a sad face.

"The daughter-in-law has met her mother."

"What happened in Ningyuan Marquis's Mansion today?"

When Gu Zhu heard this, she knew that Gu Zhao had already said it once. It was useless for her to add fuel to the fire. But she was still not convinced. She felt that this matter was related to Gu Zhao.

"Mother, today Zhao'er and Miss Duan were accidentally splashed with dessert by a maid, so she went to the changing yard to change clothes. But somehow, a fire started in the yard... The Prince of Ningyuan was plotted against, and the person inside, my daughter-in-law thought it was Zhao'er, but later she found out that it was Miss Duan..."

"Grandma, this matter must be related to my elder sister. Please call her over and interrogate her carefully. You will definitely be able to find out the truth..." Gu Rong hated Gu Zhao in his heart.

Now Brother Qin Ye has lost face, the Ning Yuan Marquis's Mansion has lost face, and she, his fiancée, has also lost face.

On the contrary, Gu Zhao got to know many young ladies at the banquet today.

Like Miss Zhao, she wanted to get along with Miss Zhao before, but Miss Zhao ignored her...

After returning to the yard, Cuihua went to the kitchen immediately.

"Miss, drink it quickly. This is the ginger soup made by the cook. It can drive away the cold."

"You all drink some too."

"Thank you, miss."

After drinking the ginger soup, Gu Zhao sat on the chair and thought about what would happen next.

Qin Ye and Lady Ningyuan have made such a fool of themselves that they will definitely not give up and will think of other ways to deal with me.

Her marriage to Qin Chen would take at least several months.

Now we have just arranged the marriage, and there are still many procedures to go through.

You can't let Qin Chen marry her earlier, right?

Gu Zhao shook his head.

Gu Zhao thought of something else.

"Cuihua, can you please go out and see if the charcoal shop is ready?"

After a few days, the weather will change drastically and become extremely cold. The price of charcoal will then be ten, dozens, or even hundreds of times higher than the original price.

I heard that some people froze to death.

Gu Zhaorang stockpiled charcoal because she wanted to make a fortune, but she would not make money from dishonest means. She also knew that after the ice disaster, all the merchants who had made more than 20 times the profit before were cleaned up.

Therefore, their prices will only be within ten times.

"Miss, there's news from the bookstore that charcoal worth 100,000 taels of silver has been stockpiled. They are still stockpiling charcoal now, and have already made an agreement with several other merchants to take all their charcoal. Wait for the old master to reply, and then continue to purchase in large quantities."

Gu Zhao heard Cuihua talking about Old Master Xie, her grandparents loved her very much. She sent a pigeon letter to them a few days ago, and they would definitely agree with her approach.

Not to mention 100,000 taels of silver, even if it was 1 million taels of silver, her grandparents would be willing to give it to her.

Besides the charcoal business, she has thought of some other businesses.

I have bought several shops now. The first shop is for grain, oil, rice and flour business. Such shops are not for making money.
