Gu Zhao talked to his grandparents for a while.

In another courtyard.

Old Master Xie II smiled as he listened to Old Madam Xie II's words.

"It seems that they believe this matter. With this person in the main room, things will be easier."

Madam Xie also nodded happily.

"You are right, old man. Now that her family is in our hands, she will definitely listen to us."

The eldest daughter-in-law of the second house heard what her mother-in-law and the others said and asked.

"Father, mother, that person, is it really not Sister Yuan?"

Hearing what her eldest daughter-in-law said, Old Lady Xie sneered.

"That's not your sister Yuan. Xie Yuan was killed by the people in the Gu Mansion a long time ago..."

At the beginning, she bribed the people in the Gu Mansion to know these things. Moreover, she deliberately took action to help Gu Zhu and others.

If not, how can we hit the first wife?

I thought that the First Wife would fight to the death with Minister Gu's Mansion, but I didn't expect that they actually endured it and didn't take action against the First Wife of the Gu Family for so many years.

"Your aunt and her family have not taken action against the Gu Mansion for so many years. They just wanted to wait until that girl Gu Zhao grows up and gets married before taking action. Now, they are definitely going to deal with the people in the Gu Mansion."

Thinking that if they fought, the Second House would benefit, Old Madam Xie felt better.

Old Madam Xie glanced at her son and daughters-in-law, then looked at Old Master Xie.

"You guys go down first, I have something to talk to the old man."

"Yes."

Although the sons and daughters-in-law were somewhat confused, they did not dare to disobey Old Madam Xie at this moment.

After everyone left, Old Madam Xie asked her confidant to guard outside the door. She looked at Old Master Xie with excitement.

"Old Master, tell me, after we clean up the big house, can we get all the property of the big house?"

Hearing his wife's words, Old Master Xie looked at her with displeasure.

"You idiot. There's nothing to be happy about with these properties. If you want to take something, you should take the hereditary title of Earl."

Upon hearing about the hereditary earldom, Old Lady Xie became even more excited.

"You are right. From now on, you will be the lord, and I will be the lady. From now on, those people in the capital who look down on our family will come to please us and flatter us..."

Mrs. Xie Er really didn't know about this before. But after she found out, she was overjoyed. She didn't expect that the Xie family was so rich, and that the idiots in the first house were hiding it from the world. If this belonged to their second house, she would definitely let everyone know.

No wonder the officials in Jiangnan were so polite to her elder brother and sister-in-law before. Moreover, she had seen her elder brother and sister-in-law only bow to the officials over the years, and they did not kneel down to salute like they did.

It turned out to be the case.

royal palace.

When the emperor heard that Old Master Xie wanted to see him, he frowned.

"Eunuch Hai, you said that Old Master Xie offered half of his family property to me before, and now he wants to see me. Are you planning to restore your status?"

Eunuch Hai smiled and said when he heard the emperor's words.

"Your Majesty, I don't know either. But this old man Xie is a man of sense."

Eunuch Hai would never say that he had received favors from Old Master Xie, so he would speak for Old Master Xie at this time.
