At this time, Old Madam Gu also came over with the support of Nanny Gu and the maid.

"In-laws, mother-in-laws."

Old Madam Gu called out to Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie.

Seeing Madam Gu, Madam Xie's face was still filled with anger.

"Let's go back to the hall and talk first." Old Madam Gu's eyes swept across her eldest son's face, and she said to Old Madam Xie.

Madam Xie looked at Madam Gu.

She is now angry with the Gu family, but Madam Gu was good to her daughter before. And it was also Madam Gu who saved her granddaughter's life.

Soon, everyone arrived at the main hall of the east courtyard.

After Minister Gu arrived in the hall, he knelt directly in front of Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie.

Old Master Xie's face was filled with anger, and he looked at Minister Gu with hatred in his eyes.

"Gu Bowen, you promised us that you would treat Yuan'er well. You and Zhu Shi killed my daughter. I want you to pay with your lives..."

Old Master Xie raised his foot and kicked Minister Gu to the ground.

"Father-in-law, I did not harm Xie..." Minister Gu explained immediately.

"How dare you say that it wasn't you who colluded with Zhu to kill my daughter? If you hadn't had an affair with Zhu before marriage..."

Old Master Xie wanted to kill Minister Gu directly. But he also knew that if he killed Minister Gu in this way, he would have to pay for his murder with his life.

"Gu Bowen, you must pay with your life for a murder. You and Zhu killed my daughter, so you must pay with my daughter's life..."

Old Madam Xie also cursed Minister Gu loudly.

Gu Zhao supported Madam Xie and used his hands to help her breathe smoothly.

Madam Gu listened to these words and said guiltily.

"My dear, my dear mother, it is our Gu family who is sorry for Yuan'er..."

Madam Gu felt extremely guilty. Now that things were like this, nothing she said could save the situation. Although she felt that Xie's family background was poor, she did not rub Xie.

But she never expected that Xie was poisoned to death by Zhu, who also bribed the maidservant around her.

Minister Gu knelt on the ground and said nothing more.

Madam Gu looked at Old Master Xie and Old Madam Xie and said.

"My dear in-laws, what do you want to do today?"

She didn't mean to say, what result do you want? If she said that, the Xie family would definitely be even angrier.

Old Master Xie looked at Minister Gu with a gloomy gaze.

Minister Gu also remained silent.

"Divorce Zhu and send her to the prefectural government office to make her pay for my sister's life."

Uncle Xie San said angrily.

When Minister Gu heard that Zhu was going to be sent to the prefectural yamen, his face changed immediately.

Such a family scandal cannot be sent to the prefectural government. If it is sent to the prefectural government, his career will be ruined.

"It cannot be sent to the prefectural government office."

When Uncle Xie heard Minister Gu say that the case could not be sent to the prefectural yamen, he started to get angry.

"Gu Bowen, the evidence is irrefutable. Do you still want to protect Zhu? Why don't you send her to the prefectural government? Why don't you avenge my sister? Let's go directly to the emperor to seek justice."

When Minister Gu heard Uncle Xie San say that he wanted to ask the emperor to seek justice, he became even more panicked.

If it is sent to the prefectural government, the censor will impeach him. If it is sent before the emperor, the emperor might directly issue an edict, and his position as minister will be even more untenable.

He looked at Gu Zhao and said.

"Zhao'er, father really didn't know about this. Father can divorce Zhu, but this matter cannot be made a big deal, otherwise father and the Gu family will be finished, and it will also affect you three siblings..."
