"Master, what do you mean? Will people from the Dali Temple or the prefectural government come to arrest usurers today?"

Gu Zhao nodded.

"They have arrested some people these days, but they are all small fry. No one with an official position has been arrested yet. There are many people coming to the banquet at Minister Gu's mansion today. Wouldn't it be more convenient to arrest people according to the list?"

"But this will ruin the master's birthday party." Cuihua didn't understand. No matter what, the prefect and the officials in the Dali Temple would not be so ignorant.

"If it was a normal day, they would definitely not take action. But what if they got a signal from above?"

Gu Zhao felt more and more that something would definitely go wrong at today's birthday banquet.

Let it be destroyed. It will also make Minister Gu be more cautious in his words and actions for a while.

"The young lady is back."

Seeing the carriage from Marquis Qin's mansion, Butler Gu shouted with joy.

Today, the master specifically instructed that the eldest lady and the eldest brother-in-law would come over, and he must treat the eldest brother-in-law well.

The eldest brother-in-law now holds the same high-ranking official position as the old master. You know, the eldest brother-in-law is only twenty years old, twenty years younger than the old master.

Master Gu Er was also very happy to see the carriage. He walked towards it.

Cuihua and Honger drew aside the curtain.

Seeing Gu Zhao coming out, Master Gu Er greeted him with a smile.

"Zhao'er."

"Second uncle."

Master Gu Er looked into the carriage.

"Where's the prince?"

"He had something to do today, so he went to the camp outside Beijing early in the morning."

She didn't want Qin Chen to come to a banquet like today. If something happened later, Minister Gu would definitely ask Qin Chen for help.

Hearing Gu Zhao's words, the smile on Master Gu's face paused slightly, then he smiled and said again.

"Will the prince come over later?"

"uncertain."

Hearing what Gu Zhao said, Master Gu nodded.

Gu Zhao looked towards Madam Gu Er.

"Second aunt."

Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded.

"Zhao'er is here, please come in, it's hot today, don't get sunburned..."

Madam Gu Er looked at Gu Zhao with a smile. Of course, the second wife knew about what happened in the first wife's house these days. She didn't understand why the eldest sister-in-law and her family were making such a fuss.

Also, when my eldest uncle was holding a birthday party, my eldest sister-in-law actually dared to ask Zhao'er to give 20,000 taels of silver. She must be crazy about money.

If this continues, Zhao'er and the Gu family will become increasingly alienated.

When she was preparing for the birthday banquet, she was also shocked when she saw the families that her sister-in-law wanted to invite.

What is the current situation of the Gu family? How can there be so many posts? If this gets out, it will be a joke. Although those people will give gifts, everyone will think that the Gu family's eating habits are too ugly. And if you receive gifts, you have to give gifts in return, so you can't earn anything.

Although her husband was a minor official, she often heard him talk about the things going on outside. Liu became more and more uneasy.

"Zhao'er, my sister-in-law and the others have posted a lot of messages, and there will be many officials and ladies coming today. Who knows what kind of trouble might happen then..."

Second Madam Gu lowered her voice and spoke to Gu Zhao about things in the mansion.

"Don't worry, aunt. No matter what happens, it won't hurt you or my uncle..."

Hearing her niece say this, Liu felt relieved.

She originally wanted to remind her niece. Her niece's words now showed that she knew everything about the mansion.

This is a good thing. She was afraid that something might happen and her eldest niece would have to deal with it.
