"Just do it according to the standard for the marriage of the legitimate daughter of the Gu family. Give 10,000 taels of silver as a deposit and 68 pieces of dowry." Minister Gu had planned to give less, but Shishi persuaded him, saying that his status is different now. Moreover, the two young ladies are marrying into the mansions of marquises and earls. If the dowry is too little, it will be Minister Gu who will be laughed at.

Minister Gu felt that Shishi was right.

Thinking of Shishi, Minister Gu felt that he was being a little impulsive again.

"By the way, Master, there is something I want to tell you."

Just when Gu Zhu was happy that Minister Gu was only willing to give such a small dowry to Gu Zhao, she heard Minister Gu want to talk to her the next second.

"Master, please tell me."

"Master, I want to take a concubine."

These words were like a slap in the face of Gu Zhu.

What did the master say? He wants to take a concubine? Who?

She was extremely angry in her heart. But in front of Minister Gu, she was always a gentle and considerate wife, and she tried hard to adjust the smile on her face.

"Master, everything is fine, why are you thinking of taking a concubine?"

"Your face has not healed, Master, I can't keep holding it in forever, can I? I am tired of the other two concubines. I have my eyes on the daughter of an old scholar, whose surname is Shi. You can arrange it, and tomorrow I will send someone to bring her in with a sedan chair, as a concubine."

What? In the name of a concubine?

How is that possible?

Gu Zhu immediately refuted.

"Master, you taking in a concubine is too sudden. I can't accept it for a while." Gu Zhu pinched her palms tightly.

"Ms. Zhu, why are you so jealous now?"

Hearing Minister Gu's cold words, Zhu felt as if her heart had fallen into ice and snow, shivering with cold. He actually said that she was jealous just because she didn't let him take a concubine?

He promised to make her his principal wife, but turned around and married the daughter of a merchant. After Xie died, he married her, but took concubines one after another. If she had not dealt with those women, there would probably be more than ten concubines in Minister Gu's mansion now.

Zhu fell directly to the ground and looked at Minister Gu with a pale face.

Minister Gu felt even more disgusted when he saw that Zhu was wearing a mask and had dark spots on her face that could not be covered.

"That's it."

After Minister Gu finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and went to the study.

Gu Zhu gritted her teeth and looked at his back, her face ashen.

After Minister Gu left, Mrs. Gu Zhu went crazy and smashed everything on the table.

"Bitch, which bitch seduced the master, the daughter of the old scholar... so shameless..."

Nanny Zhu was so frightened at the sight of Gu Zhu that she dared not speak a word. The other maids were also so frightened that they kept silent and dared not even to breathe.

The ground was littered with debris. After venting her anger, Gu Zhu gritted her teeth, her eyes red and filled with tears, and spoke with an extremely ugly expression.

"Madam Zhu, send someone to clean up Huaxiang Courtyard and let the new concubine live there..."

When Gu Rong heard that his father was going to take a concubine, he immediately ran to the main courtyard.

"Mom, I heard that Dad wants to take a concubine. What's going on?" In the past few years, his parents have had a good relationship, so why is he suddenly going to take a concubine?

Hearing her daughter's words, Gu Zhu said with a gloomy expression.

"This is an adult matter, you don't have to worry about it. Mother will teach this shameless bitch a lesson."

That so-called Aunt Shi was treated like this by the master before she even entered the mansion. She could never forgive her.
