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

"The Gu family can only give another 20,000 taels of silver at most. We really don't have the rest... If we really go to see the official, the Qin Marquis's family will be angry if they know..."

When Gu Zhao heard what Old Madam Gu said, his heart sank.

She used to think that Madam Gu was quite good to her. After all, Madam Gu had never hurt her, and whether in the past life or this life, Madam Gu had always made up for her, and she really loved her granddaughter.

Unexpectedly, not only is Mrs. Gu unwilling to give out all of my mother's dowry, she also uses the Qinhou Mansion to pressure my grandfather and third uncle.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver notes are hidden in the bottom of the box. If you don't have fifty thousand taels of silver notes, then you will meet with the government today. If the Marquis Qin's Mansion finds out, the first place to be held accountable will be your Minister Gu's Mansion."

Old Master Xie slammed the table and said angrily.

Madam Gu still said nice things, but Old Master Xie and Uncle Xie San did not agree.

After a while, Mrs. Gu spoke

"I promise you."

Madam Gu said through gritting her teeth.

"Okay, if the Gu family changes their mind again, we in the Xie family will go to the prefectural government office to get the dowry list and file a complaint..."

Madam Gu hastened to assure him with a faint smile on her face.

"The Gu family will not change their minds again. Thank you, father-in-law and his third uncle."

"Give the fifty thousand taels of silver to Zhao'er right now in front of us."

Old Master Xie made another request.

what?

Madam Gu looked at Grandpa Xie in surprise.

"Isn't this against the rules, father-in-law?"

"How is it against the rules? We gave it directly to Yuan'er in the beginning. If you don't agree, then we will go to the government office to get the dowry list and bring people to count the dowry."

"Okay, I'll ask Zhu to send someone to deliver the banknotes."

When Gu Zhu heard that Old Madam Gu had sent someone to ask for the banknotes, she was shocked.

"What? The Xie family came to our house and asked for 50,000 taels of silver as a deposit? How can they be so shameless?"

Gu Zhu was extremely angry.

This is 50,000 taels of silver notes. It was said before that it was 20,000 taels of silver notes. How come it suddenly increased to 30,000 taels? And it is said that it is the bottom of the box, which was taken away with the dowry on the wedding day.

Why should we give it to Gu Zhao now?

Could it be that the Xie family discovered something?

No, it's impossible. She has been hiding it from everyone. There is no way the Xie family would find out.

Gu Zhu was panicked and confused.

But now the old lady is urging so urgently, if she doesn't give the 50,000 taels of silver, the Xie family will really go to the government office to get the dowry list, and then they will make a fuss. This marriage will be in trouble.

She could only bear it for now, and then she asked the old lady to persuade Gu Zhao to put it in the dowry and carry it over together.

In this way, when Rong'er replaces Gu Zhao and marries into Qin Hou's Mansion, everything will belong to Rong'er.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhu went to get the silver note.

Looking at the few banknotes left in the bank, she felt extremely distressed. This was all the money that the Gu family could use now.

Gu Zhu went to the East Courtyard with 50,000 taels of silver.

"Zhao'er, take these banknotes. They will be yours from now on. No matter who tries to trick you, don't give them to them." Old Master Xie said meaningfully.

"My granddaughter will remember your teachings."

Gu Zhao took the 50,000 taels of silver notes with both hands and asked Cuihua to check each one in front of everyone.

Counterfeiting is rife nowadays, and even silver bills can be counterfeited.

Seeing Gu Zhao's maid checking the banknotes one by one, Gu Zhu's eyes were filled with disgust. They were indeed lowly merchants, actually checking the banknotes one by one in front of them, which was really embarrassing.
