Gu Zhao smelled the food and made sure that there was no poison in it.

After tasting some, she let Nanny Yang and Nanny Xiao Qin eat it.

"Thank you, Miss, for the reward."

Gu Zhao returned to her boudoir.

Look at the jewelry on the dressing table.

Some of them were old models, left by her mother, some were found in Aunt Hua's room and Aunt Hua's home, and some were new, which seemed to be picked out by her grandmother from the jewelry shop.

Who could have imagined that the daughter of a third-rank minister wouldn't even have a piece of jewelry to wear outside.

She had some in the past, but at that time, Zhu and Gu Rong deceived her and cheated a lot of it out of her.

At that time, she was young and didn't know anything. Later, when she went to the farm, Aunt Hua gave a lot of her things to Zhu, and some of them were taken back home by Aunt Hua, or even sold secretly.

After dinner, Cuihua and Xiaofang went into the room.

"Cuihua, go to the Xie family's bookstore tomorrow and find Mr. Xie. Ask him to send a message to my uncle and ask him to send me some people who know Kung Fu..."

"The slaves obey."

Gu Zhao's maternal grandfather, the Jiangnan Xie family, was actually originally a direct branch of the Xie family. However, due to war, his maternal grandfather's branch took root in Jiangnan and later became businessmen. Although they were businessmen, the ancestor of the Xie family saved the founding emperor and became an imperial merchant. He also possessed the Danshu Tiequan, which was a golden ticket to immunity from death.

These things happened decades ago, and many people are still unaware of them.

But Gu's grandfather found out about it inadvertently, and Xie's uncle also passed the imperial examination, so Gu's grandfather found Xie's maternal grandfather and discussed the marriage of his father and mother.

My father didn't like my mother at that time, but he married her because of his orders.

When my mother married into the Gu family, it was no exaggeration to say that it was a grand wedding.

A dowry of one hundred and twenty pieces, a hundred thousand taels of silver notes hidden in the bottom of the box, and more than a dozen shops and farms in the capital.

Not only that, Jiangnan also has some industries.

But outsiders didn't know about the 100,000 taels of silver notes hidden in the bottom of the box and the dozen shops and farms. They only thought that the Xie family was a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan, which was far inferior to the scholarly Gu family.

Mother Xie was a gentle woman. She didn't care about what was happening outside and kept her parents' teachings in mind to be a good wife and mother.

Who would have known that the mother would be murdered during childbirth, and she didn't know about it until she died.

Thinking of everything that happened in his previous life, Gu Zhao felt even more hatred in his heart.

Her hands were tightly holding the teacup.

"Snapped."

Gu Zhao actually crushed the teacup.

Gu Zhao came to his senses when he heard the voice.

Zhu will not give up on the matter of the engagement and will definitely think of other ways to deal with her. She has to make some arrangements quickly so that she can strike first. Otherwise, she can only wait for Zhu to make a move, which will put her in a very passive situation.

After a busy day, Gu Zhao didn't fall asleep until late at night.

As soon as he fell asleep, Gu Zhao dreamed about his past life.

"No, Grandpa, Grandma..."

"Zhao'er is too stupid. It's Zhao'er who harmed you."

"Qin Ye, Gu Rong, you deserve to die."

Cuihua and Xiaofang heard the noise and ran in immediately.

"Miss, please wake up."

Gu Zhao was woken up, and her eyes full of hatred scared Cuihua and Xiaofang.

"Miss, are you having a nightmare?"

After hearing their words, Gu Zhao's expression eased a little and he hummed.
