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

The more Gu Zhao thought about it, the more surprised she became.

She had heard some things in her previous life. The emperor had a team that was specifically used to monitor and eavesdrop on officials.

A minister said some bad things to his concubine. The next day, the minister was arrested and beheaded, and his entire family was exiled.

And what the minister and the concubine said seemed to be related to the former crown prince.

She got the news by accident at that time.

Seeing the change in Gu Zhao's expression, Qin Chen knew that Gu Zhao was smart and already knew what he was going to say.

"Okay, I've written it down."

If this is the case, she needs to be more cautious in her actions.

As for the charcoal fire, she couldn't handle it the same way as before. She had to spread the word quickly and let some merchants buy more. By then, there would be many people selling charcoal fire, and the emperor's attention would not fall on her.

Gu Zhao called Cuihua and asked her to send someone to call Xie Dajin's mansion.

An hour later, Xie Da entered the mansion.

"Cousin, I understand. I'll do it right away."

Xie Da said respectfully.

"Uncle Xie, this matter is very important, you must do it well."

"I will definitely do it well."

After Xie Da left, Gu Zhao gave instructions to his other men.

Soon, some rumors spread in the capital.

"Have you heard that this year may be a cold winter? I heard a master predicted it."

"I heard that, too. But the weather is so warm now, how could it be a cold winter?"

"It must be a scam. I heard before that some merchants sold all the charcoal at a low price."

Although some people did not believe it, the news spread widely and some people started buying charcoal. Some merchants who got the hint also quietly bought some.

When Lady Ningyuan heard the news, she said sarcastically.

"Buy charcoal? It's so hot today. What are you going to buy charcoal for? No."

She had also secretly sold a charcoal shop before.

The same is true for Gu Zhushi. She is in charge of the household expenses of the Gu family and has always been embezzling money for herself, making some money every year. A while ago, she asked the owner of the Gu family's charcoal shop to sell 80% of the charcoal, leaving only the charcoal for the previous three years in the mansion.

It’s so hot, and yet it’s still winter?

Who are you lying to?

Some families, upon hearing the news, although they did not quite believe that it would be a cold winter, still bought a lot of charcoal just in case.

Princess Zhaoyang's residence also purchased a large amount of charcoal, which was ten times the usual amount.

This move has left many people confused.

"Princess Zhaoyang's residence is buying charcoal now, hoping to wait for General Yun and his men to come back and use it to repair their graves?"

"Princess Zhaoyang has already bought charcoal, let's go buy some too."

Princess Zhaoyang's Mansion.

Princess Anyang took Princess Yuan'an to Duke Zhaoyang's mansion.

"Meet Aunt Anyang."

Seeing that only Madam Yun was there, Princess Anyang said with a somewhat displeased look on her face.

"Where's the Imperial Sister?"

"To answer my aunt, my mother-in-law is ill and is now bedridden."

"I came here today to bring Yuan'an to visit my sister."

Princess Anyang wanted to come a few days ago, but Princess Zhaoyang's mansion was closed to visitors.

She had been fighting with Princess Zhaoyang for so many years. Now Princess Zhaoyang's husband and sons were all dead, leaving only some old, weak, sick and disabled children. How could she miss such an opportunity? Naturally, she used the name of visiting to provoke Princess Zhaoyang and vent her hatred.
