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

"Thank you for your kindness, Concubine. But right now, I am not thinking about cooperating. I am fine with doing small things on my own."

Prince Heng's face darkened slightly. He and Yan'er had lowered themselves so much to win over Gu Zhao, but Gu Zhao still rejected them. Thinking of the power behind Gu Zhao, Prince Heng said with a smile.

"Cousin Zhao, you don't have to refuse so hastily. If you have the chance in the future, or if you change your mind, you can always find Yan'er..."

"Your Highness is right. Cousin Zhao, there is no need to refuse in a hurry. We have something else to do, so we will leave first."

Although Liu Ruyan was unhappy, she also knew that they could only endure it now. When the prince's plan was accomplished, she would be able to repay the grievances she had suffered now, and make those people kneel in front of her and repent painfully.

When Gu Zhao saw Liu Ruyan's eyes, she instantly understood what Liu Ruyan meant.

It was really like this in the previous life. The more wronged Liu Ruyan was before, the more proud she was after Prince Heng became the emperor. Moreover, the love story of Prince Heng and Liu Ruyan has been passed down by the people of the world for a long time.

When she and Qin Ye were guarding the provincial capital, they also heard some news from the palace.

Gu Zhao withdrew his thoughts and watched Prince Heng and Concubine Liu leave.

Not long after getting on the carriage and heading towards Qin Hou Mansion, he heard Qin Yi's report.

"Master, the road ahead is blocked by the people."

"Send someone to see what's going on."

Qin Yi sent people to see what happened. It turned out that a girl was selling herself to bury her father.

Hearing this, Gu Zhao frowned. Although the capital city was very prosperous, there were also some poor people, and all kinds of things happened to some people every day.

In front of gambling houses and brothels, selling children and daughters would happen from time to time. Although the court had issued some bans before, some of them would still happen quietly.

As long as you press your fingerprints, take the money, and are sent in, everything after that is decided by others.

However, those who sell their children and themselves to bury their parents will still receive sympathy from many people.

Now many people were gathered around discussing something, and someone came forward with a few copper coins.

Some of them gave some food to the girl.

Others were pointing and talking.

"Fifty taels of silver, that's so expensive."

"I heard that she has a sick mother and a younger brother. These fifty taels of silver are not only for burying her father, but the remaining money is for her mother's medical treatment and raising her younger brother."

"This is a filial girl."

"But this is fifty taels of silver. In the past, those who sold themselves to bury their fathers only got ten or twenty taels of silver."

"This girl is not bad looking. I heard she can do embroidery and is literate. If you have the money, she would be a good concubine."

"It would be great if a wealthy family could take her in as a maid if they were doing good deeds."

When Gu Zhao heard this, he sneered.

Among these onlookers, a small half were agents, but the others were real people.

However, today's situation might be aimed at them.

Qin Chen spoke.

"Go back and take another path."

Just as Qin Chen finished speaking, the coachman drove the carriage backwards, but then he heard someone shouting.

"Ouch, your carriage is crushing my foot."

"It hurts to death."

"Why are you suddenly backing away?"

An old woman was holding her feet and crying on the ground, which instantly drew many people's attention to the carriage of Qin Hou Mansion.
