"Grandpa, what should we do?"

"Why are you panicking? We haven't been linked to this matter yet..." said Old Master Xie Er with a gloomy face.

He had lost a lot of money before, but this was the first time he had lost such a large sum of money.

In the past, his eldest brother would clean up his mess, but now, his eldest brother's attitude towards him has become better and better. The last time they went to Lord Xie's house, he asked his eldest brother for a profitable business, but his eldest brother ignored him.

"Or, should we go find our eldest brother and his wife and ask them to give us another store, or give us another profitable business?" asked Mrs. Xie.

Hearing this, Old Master Xie frowned.

"Why are you going? Wasn't it enough that we lost face last time? They don't even consider us as a family now..."

After hearing the old man's words, Mrs. Xie's face became even gloomier.

"Mom and Dad, we have to find a way. We can't go on like this. Otherwise, all our family businesses will be ruined..." said the eldest son of the second wife.

They put so much thought into coming to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, doing something big, and becoming rich and powerful in the future.

But now, I have lost a lot of money, my career has not been successful, and the marriages of my grandchildren have not been settled yet.

As Xie Xin listened to what his grandparents and father said, his expression turned a little ugly.

Before, when she tried to get to know those young ladies from official families, many of them looked down on her, didn't talk to her, and some even said nasty things to her.

But later, when they found out that she was the daughter of Lord Xie, their attitude towards her became much better.

These days, they all wanted to move into Uncle Xie's house, but their great-uncle and great-aunt simply didn't agree.

If her grandfather became Lord Xie, then everything in the Xie Mansion would belong to her family. She would be the eldest daughter of Lord Xie's Mansion, and her father would be Lord Xie's heir in the future.

Old Master Xie looked at his grandchildren and said.

"Do you two have any ideas?"

After hearing his grandfather's words, Xie Xin spoke first.

"Grandfather, Miss Liu is seducing Prince Heng now, so I can't do anything I want to do. If I marry someone else, his status will definitely not be as good as this one. Otherwise, please go talk to Lord Duan and ask him to help mediate. I will marry Prince Heng as a concubine first..."

This money was the investment my grandfather made for Lord Duan and his people. Now that it has been lost, of course someone has to be held responsible.

If Prince Heng knew that their family didn't have much money now, he might change his attitude again. She believed that with her looks and means, she would definitely win Prince Heng's heart.

Hearing this, Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie looked at each other.

The two sons of the second wife immediately started discussing it.

"Father and mother, I think Xin'er is right. Now we lack a powerful backer. If Xin'er becomes Prince Heng's concubine, Prince Heng will definitely favor us..."

“I agree with this as well…”

After discussing it, the family decided to let Old Master Xie and Xie Ming go to see Lord Duan and tell him about the matter.

Of course, in order to settle this matter, they also have to give a bribe to Lord Duan.

Soon, Gu Zhao found out about this.

This was also within Gu Zhao's expectations. Now that the money of the second branch of the Xie family is getting less and less, they will definitely continue to focus on the first branch. And for Prince Heng, the second branch of the Xie family is of no use.
