Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

When it was time to light the lamps, Gu Shaoyu came back.

Xie Zhaozhao told him about this.

Gu Shaoyu blinked and said, "You and Zhang Yanyan have a good relationship?"

"Yes, we are close friends." Xie Zhaozhao said, "But if it affects your future, or His Majesty has other ideas, then forget it. A family like the Zhang family must have rules. The fourth son of the Zhang family is so outspoken, he is really courting death, and we can't ruin our own future and let him take the blame."

Gu Shaoyu saw that she understood and said, "This matter is easy to solve. Zhang Hexuan will have to suffer a little."

Zhang Hexuan, the fourth son of Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Personnel, is a top student in the academy. Barring any unexpected events, he will most likely be the champion in the next imperial examination.

He is quite radical, but he is indeed a talented person.

Xie Zhaozhao said: "If we can save his life, let alone suffer, Zhang Yanyan said that even if we expel him from the clan, the Zhang family is willing to do so."

Gu Shaoyu said, "Pack up and go to Zhang's house with me."

Xie Zhaozhao knew that Gu Shaoyu was planning to help Zhang Hexuan.

He must have done this for her own good, simply because Zhang Yanyan was his best friend.

She accepted his help without being pretentious.

But I am extremely grateful.

He helped Gu Shaoyu change into a set of casual clothes and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel.

Gu Shaoyu held her hand and said, "Don't feel like you owe me anything. These court affairs are within my responsibility."

"But, you don't have to take care of such things personally." Xie Zhaozhao naturally understood that this was because Gu Shaoyu had her in his heart and loved her as well as her friends. Because he loved her, he would help her friends.

"You and I are husband and wife, so don't say anything strange. Pack up and let's go. If it's any later, there will be curfew."

Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu packed up quickly and did not drive her two-wheeled carriage, but an inconspicuous horse-drawn carriage that could be found on the street.

Gu Shaoyu didn't ride the horse either, but sat in the car with her.

They soon arrived at Zhang's house.

At the gatehouse, Mo Yan, who was driving, told the gatehouse that Lord Gu and his wife were coming to visit.

Soon, the middle door opened, and Minister Zhang and the old lady of the Zhang family all came out to greet them. The carriage went straight into the mansion, and the middle door was immediately closed again.

Minister Zhang and Old Madam Zhang both knelt down to pay their respects to Lord Gu and Xie Zhaozhao.

Minister Zhang knelt for an entire afternoon before being sent back by His Majesty, his legs still trembling.

Gu Shaoyu said, "Shang Shangshu, please stop kneeling. I came here because my wife is worried about Miss Zhang in your house, so she came to ask about your son's affairs."

Zhang Shangshu was about to kneel again, but Xie Zhaozhao spoke up, "Don't kneel, Shangshu. There's something urgent to say. Curfew is coming soon. Let's deal with the matter first and then talk about other things."

Zhang Hexuan was called in. He had already been severely beaten. He knelt down to answer, still trying to maintain etiquette. He did not make any excuses and told the whole story of how he had caused trouble because of his words.

Gu Shaoyu was very satisfied. Being willing to take responsibility means being responsible.

"The western Yuzhou has poor land and fierce people. It lacks a capable governor. If you are willing to go there for training, I can help you."

Gu Shaoyu said, "However, since you are a commoner, it is impossible for you to be given a fifth-rank prefectural position right away. You need to start as a seventh-rank county magistrate. If you pass the three-year official assessment, I will allow you to be promoted. If you can make outstanding contributions, I will transfer you back to the court and give you a third-rank official position."

When Minister Zhang and the old lady heard this, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

Zhang Yanyan's mother kowtowed until her head was broken.

Zhang Hexuan prostrated himself on the ground with his head touching the ground, and said with sobs: "I will never forget the grace of the elder for giving me a new life."

Xie Zhaozhao was listening at the side, her eyes reddened.

This is truly a blessing of rebirth!

Since Zhang Hexuan was still a commoner and had caused a big disaster, he would be grateful for three lifetimes even if he was given a seventh-rank county magistrate in charge of Yuzhou or a low-ranking servant under Yuzhou.

Not to mention, he was promised that as long as he made meritorious service, he would be transferred back to the court and become a third-rank official, which his father had worked hard for his entire life to achieve.

Seeing that the Zhang family was satisfied, Gu Shaoyu said, "Since you agree, this cabinet will handle it this way. The appointment letter will be sent in the next two days. You should pack up as soon as possible and leave the capital."

Zhang Shangshu was the Minister of Personnel. He had a list of officials in mind and said hesitantly, "The governor of Yuzhou, Mr. Ying, is still in office. If my son goes there, how can he give up the position?"

Gu Shaoyu paused for a moment, and Minister Zhang, Madam Zhang, and the old lady all felt their hearts in their throats.

Xie Zhaozhao was worried. Gu Shaoyu hadn't thought of this, had he? Du Yun had gone out. What should he do?

Gu Shaoyu looked at everyone's changed expression and said, "Don't worry about it. We will find a way to deal with it. You just need to go quickly."

When he said this, the Zhang family knew that he must be in a difficult situation and would have to work hard to deal with it, and they felt even more guilty and touched.

The old lady pointed to the sky and said, "The Zhang family will be grateful to the Lord and his wife for generations to come. If anyone disobeys, both humans and gods will punish him."

Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao left Zhang's house. Zhang Yanyan did not come out because it was not appropriate for a girl to show her face in front of a man outside.

The Zhang family thanked them profusely and escorted them out of the Zhang Mansion, almost bowing their heads with every step.

Xie Zhaozhao didn't say a word along the way. It was almost curfew outside and people on the street were in a hurry.

When they arrived at Qingpu Courtyard, Xie Zhaozhao said with tears in his eyes: "It's hard for you, Lord..."

Gu Shaoyu quickly wiped her tears: "Why are you still upset? I arranged it for him for your sake, and I think it's not bad. Are you not satisfied?"

He teased her on purpose, and Xie Zhaozhao was even more moved.

"I, I regret it so much..." I will never take on such a thing again.

"What are you regretting? Don't feel embarrassed about this. I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time." Gu Shaoyu said with a smile, "This is a good thing. Didn't you see how grateful the Zhang family is to me? You don't know that Shangshu Zhang is really the King Qi's man."

Gu Shaoyu meant to take advantage of this opportunity to win the hearts of Prince Qi's people over to His Majesty's side, which would be a great thing.

"Ah, Prince Qi won't save him?"

"Prince Qi knew that the court intended to suppress the clan, so once the court targeted the clan, he would first remove himself. Today, when Minister Zhang got into trouble, no one came forward to help. Everyone was afraid that they would be burned."

If you help Minister Zhang at this time, he will definitely be loyal to you in the future.

However, Zhang Hexuan’s matter is not easy to handle, and if things go wrong, I will get involved.

Gu Shaoyu said: "I plan to do this, what do you think——"
