"How can this be possible." Old Master Xie slammed the table, his face full of anger.

"Zhao'er, your mother's dowry will all be yours. The Gu family should not even think of taking it away. In the past, your grandfather and uncles had to endure it for your sake. Now that you are getting married, all your dowry will be taken over by you. As for your mother, having you as her child is enough. There is no need to keep another son under her name..."

Gu Zhaoben thought that his grandfather would feel that if his mother had a son, she would have a family line in the future. After all, throughout history, offspring have always been the most important thing.

If the Gu family treated their granddaughter well, there would be no problem with having multiple legitimate sons under their daughter's name. However, the Gu family sent their granddaughter to a farm in the countryside since she was young, and almost killed her. Although the death of their daughter was not fully investigated, they always had doubts.

Old Master Xie and Gu Zhao expressed their attitudes.

Listening to his grandfather's words, Gu Zhao nodded.

While the three were talking, a servant came to report.

"Old Master, the Gu family sent a letter. Minister Gu said he would come to visit tomorrow."

Hearing this, Old Master Xie took the card, looked at the visiting card, and laughed.

"Hahaha."

Uncle Xie looked at his father in confusion and asked.

"Dad, what are you laughing at?"

Old Master Xie had an angry look on his face.

"He used to pretend to write visiting cards by hand, but now he is unwilling to even write a visiting card by hand."

Gu Zhao and Uncle Xie San only then realized that this was what made the old man angry.

Gu Zhao looked at the post, and it was indeed not written by Minister Gu. Gu Zhao also laughed, with a mocking look on her face. She had heard that although Minister Gu did not want to marry her mother, he could not resist Old Master Gu and Old Madam Gu, so he did many things to please her mother.

They are even more respectful to Old Master Xie.

Otherwise, Old Master Xie and the others would not have agreed to let their daughter marry him.

"Send someone to tell him that we will be waiting for him tomorrow."

Minister Gu was very happy when he knew that Old Master Xie had accepted the invitation and written a reply.

At this time, the patriarch of the Gu family was also in Minister Gu's mansion.

Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu Zhu were talking about registering Gu Qing under the name of Mrs. Xie.

The head of the Gu clan was very surprised. He didn't expect that after so many years since Xie's death, Minister Gu and Mrs. Gu Zhu would still have such thoughts. This proved that Minister Gu valued affection and had a very good reputation for the Gu family.

"If the Xie family agrees to this, that would be great."

Hearing this, Minister Gu did not say anything, and Mrs. Gu Zhu spoke gently.

"In fact, my husband has wanted to do this for a long time. I don't want to do it, but now Zhao'er and Rong'er are going to get married, and they are marrying into a wealthy family, so..."

When Gu Zhushi said this, Clan Leader Gu could not help but think of the reason. After all, anyone who could become a clan leader was not a fool.

However, Minister Gu is now the highest-ranking official in the Gu family, and he cannot refuse if they want to do this.

"If Xie agrees, the clan will immediately open a clan temple and write Qing'er's name under Xie's..."

After Patriarch Gu left, Minister Gu stood up and said.

"Today is a good day for Auntie Shi, I'm going to sleep in her courtyard."

When Gu Zhu heard this and watched Minister Gu leave, she became even angrier.

"Madam, I have checked it out. This concubine moved there a few years ago. She has several maids and servants serving her. The courtyard is also under the name of the master..."

They had been having an affair several years ago.
