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

Gu Zhao glanced at Minister Gu, took a sip of tea slowly, and said.

"This money was originally given by my grandfather and his family. Now they are in trouble, so why can't I give it to my grandfather and his family? Could it be that I, as their granddaughter, will just stand by and watch while the Xie family is in trouble?"

Minister Gu clenched his hands slightly. He naturally disagreed with Gu Zhao's words. But he couldn't argue with Gu Zhao at this time.

"The servants in the mansion had lent a sum of money without telling your mother. Now the Dali Temple has come to the mansion and arrested him..."

Gu Zhao laughed when he heard Minister Gu say that it was the servants in the mansion who lent money without telling them.

"Father, Zhu is not my mother. She is not worthy."

Minister Gu didn't expect that after all he said, Gu Zhao didn't listen and was still worried about Zhu's identity.

"Ms. Zhu is my wife, so she is naturally your mother. A stepmother is also a mother."

Minister Gu said angrily.

"No."

"you..."

Hearing what Gu Zhao said, Minister Gu suppressed his anger and continued.

"Father, what I am talking about now is that the servants are lending money in the name of your mother and the Gu family. Did you hear me clearly?"

"Listen clearly."

Gu Zhao's tone was still indifferent.

Seeing Gu Zhao's disapproving look, Minister Gu frowned even more.

"Why did you react like this?"

Minister Gu said dissatisfiedly.

"So what reaction does father want me to have? Cry? Or did father come to Marquis Qin's mansion to ask me to take the blame for Zhu's crime?"

There was sarcasm in Gu Zhao's tone.

Minister Gu had a gloomy face. He really didn't expect that Gu Zhao would have such an attitude. Didn't Gu Zhao know the seriousness of this matter?

Could it be that Gu Zhao had stayed in the countryside for too long and didn't know how serious the situation was?

He spoke again.

"Zhao'er, this matter is very serious. The Dali Temple is investigating it now. If we can't find a solution, your father may be dismissed from his post, and our Gu family will be confiscated and exiled. This is a serious crime that will punish all nine generations of the family. If it is found out that your father is the one behind this, you and the Qinhou Mansion will not be able to escape..."

Hearing Minister Gu say this, Gu Zhao opened his eyes wide and looked at Minister Gu in surprise.

"So serious? How dare Zhu's servants do that? Could it be that Zhu did it herself and pushed the blame on the servants?"

Minister Gu felt as if he had punched cotton with his fist. He and Gu Zhao seemed to be unable to communicate. Or was it that Gu Zhao looked down on the Gu family because she married into the Qin Marquis's mansion? Did she think she could stand firm without her mother's family?

What a joke, which daughter of an aristocratic family doesn't need help from her natal family? Even the ladies in the palace can't make it in the palace without the help of their natal family.

"Zhao'er, now is not the time to hold anyone responsible. The most important thing is to protect the Gu Mansion and my father's position as the Minister of State. If the matter is concealed and known by others, my father will definitely be impeached by the Censor. By then, it will be too late..."

When Minister Gu thought of such a situation, he became extremely panicked.

He has been studying for more than ten years and serving as an official for more than twenty years. He has worked hard and has come to where he is today step by step. He must not fall down.

If he fell, the Gu family would be finished. The Gu clan would also be finished.

He would be the sinner of the family, and he would have no face to live on in this life.

Zhu, it's Zhu who is too stupid, otherwise, it wouldn't have turned out like this.

Minister Gu became even angrier towards Zhu.
