Thinking of this, Gu Mingzhi's eyes turned, and he walked out with the key. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Gu Huaizhi who was in a hurry to return home.

"Brother, why are you back?" Gu Mingzhi looked at Gu Huaizhi with a guilty conscience, but he also felt a little lucky in his heart, thinking that his brother should not know that he had stolen Tai's dowry.

After all, every time I pestered my mother for something, they thought I was going to the Gu family’s warehouse to get something.

However, the Gu family actually took a lot of things from Tai Jingwan's dowry, and it was tacitly acknowledged that Tai Jingwan's dowry belonged to the Gu family.

"Where are you going?" Looking at Gu Mingzhi's sneaky look, Gu Huaizhi frowned and asked.

"I'll just go out for a while." Gu Mingzhi said a little nervously.

"Yeah!" Gu Huaizhi didn't want to say anything more to Gu Mingzhi. He just wanted to find a carriage to pick up Tai Jingwan and Jiang Jinyue.

Seeing that Gu Huaizhi ignored him, Gu Mingzhi quickly took the key and ran away.

I heard that Mrs. Tang from Songju was still waiting for her two daughters-in-law to come and greet her, but after waiting for a long time, no one came and her face looked a little unhappy.

"Madam, the Marquis is here." Fu Kang, who walked in from outside, said hurriedly.

...

...

"Why don't you let the Marquis in? Let's serve the meal quickly." Old Mrs. Tang was afraid that her son would be hungry, so she spoke quickly.

"Mom, please help me prepare some things. I need to go to Tai's house." Gu Huaizhi had just gone to Tai's house. He could say that he left in a hurry and did not have time to prepare gifts.

But if you want to go back again, you can't go empty-handed.

"Why go to the Tai family to curry favor with them again?" Mrs. Tang thought that her son had married the Tai family's daughter for three years, but the Tai family had not done anything to help her son in the officialdom.

In these three years, my son is still a little ceremonial figure.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Tang also sighed. Although the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was a marquisate, it was a declining marquisate after all, and could not afford to spend too much money to help her son manage the official career.

"It's all your fault that your father died early. Before he died, he didn't even think of leaving more family property for you." Old Mrs. Tang felt a little resentful towards the old Marquis Gu again.

"Mom, it will be fine. One day, I will be able to earn you another title." Gu Huaizhi said firmly.

"I believe in my son." Old Mrs. Tang said with a look of relief.

"Hmph, your two good wives don't even know how to come and serve me." Thinking of Tai and Jiang, old Mrs. Tang said with some dissatisfaction.

Looking at the vegetarian dishes on the table, Mrs. Tang complained dissatisfiedly, "If you ask me, I shouldn't have married Mrs. Tai. We spent all our money to marry her, but look at how she repays us by giving me these to eat."

"Mom, you misunderstood. Tai and Jiang are not at home." Gu Huaizhi looked at the dishes on the table and felt a little uncomfortable.

Tai Jingwan has been the head of Xuanping Marquis' Mansion in recent years. Whether it is food or other aspects, Tai Jingwan takes care of everything.

But now, Tai Jingwan is not at home, and the servants are even withholding food from their mother.

"Where is the housekeeper?" Thinking of this, Gu Huaizhi felt that this must be the housekeeper's problem, so he called out in a cold voice.

In fact, ever since Tai Jingwan heard Jiang Jinyue's thoughts, she no longer subsidized the Gu family's meals.

In the past, the Gu family had good food, but that was because the Tai family loved their daughter so much that they specially sent her the freshest ingredients from the farm. But now, Tai Jingwan asked the Tai family not to send them food anymore. Hasn't the Gu family's food standard suddenly returned to the pre-liberation era?

"Okay, don't you know what the situation is in the mansion now?" Old Mrs. Tang sighed, picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"Mom, please ask someone to help me pack some things first. I have to go back to Tai's house." Looking at the dishes on the table, Gu Huaizhi had no intention of staying for a meal.

"Fukang, go to the storehouse and pick out a few things for the Marquis." At this time, Mrs. Gu had forgotten that she had given the key to the storehouse to her youngest son.

"Madam, the key..." Fu Kang looked at Mrs. Tang with embarrassment. The key had already been taken away by the third young master.

She can’t go to the warehouse at all now?

"What are you hesitating about? Just say whatever you want to say!" Old Mrs. Tang said impatiently.

"Madam, the third master took the key away and hasn't brought it back yet." Fu Kang was a little embarrassed, but still told the truth.

"Mom, what did my third brother go to the storehouse to get?" Gu Huaizhi frowned, and suddenly remembered that when he just came back, he saw Gu Mingzhi going out.

"Mingzhi said his inkstone was broken and he wanted to go to the warehouse to find a new one, so I let him choose one himself." Old Mrs. Tang said indifferently.

"Mom, but I just saw my third brother go out." For some reason, Gu Huaizhi had a bad feeling.

"Gone out? Maybe he forgot to return the key. Don't worry, I'll ask him for it later. I still have fifty taels of silver here. You can use it to buy something for your father-in-law and mother-in-law. By the way, Tai went back to Tai's house to file a complaint? Then why did Jiang go with her?" Old Mrs. Tang asked puzzledly.

Gu Nianshu, who was about to come in, was shocked when she heard this. It turned out that Tai had gone back to her parents' home to complain.

Humph, that bitch is just being pretentious. Didn’t her elder brother just marry a concubine? As for going to my mother's house to make trouble?

On weekdays, her eldest brother never lacked food and clothes.

Even so, Tai was still not satisfied and wanted to go back to her parents' home to file a complaint.

Thinking of this, a glimmer of calculation flashed in Gu Nianshu's eyes.

"Brother, why did my sister-in-law go back to her parents' home?" Gu Nianshu asked worriedly.

"Well, when she went back to her parents' home today, something went wrong and both she and Jiang were injured." Gu Huaizhi felt a little depressed when he thought of this.

He had arranged such a good plan to kill two birds with one stone, but they escaped. He knew very well that next time, if he wanted to attack them again, it would not be so easy.

"What? My sisters-in-law are all injured? Who is so bold as to hurt people from Marquis Xuanping's Mansion?" Gu Nianshu said indignantly.

I was thinking, why didn't that person be more ruthless? Kill the person directly?

In this way, the dowries of Tai and Jiang will belong to the Gu family.

Don't think she doesn't know that among Jiang's dowry, there were five large boxes of jewelry from the Treasure Pavilion alone.

Thinking of this, Gu Nianshu became jealous and crazy. You know, although the Xuanping Marquis Mansion is a marquisate, it is only glorious on the surface. On weekdays, even if she wanted to go to the Treasure Pavilion to buy some jewelry, she could only buy it at the cheapest price. She could never dare to dream of those treasures.

"I don't know." Gu Huaizhi was also very unhappy. Who on earth could have saved those two people with so much trouble?

Later, he secretly sent someone to check, and saw that their carriage was almost about to fall into the abyss.

His plan was almost successful.

Gu Huaizhi clenched his fists and thought silently in his heart, don't let him catch that guy, otherwise, he will make him pay!

How dare you ruin his good deeds!

"Brother, could it be that the two sisters-in-law had a fight and then deliberately said that they were injured by someone?" Gu Nianshu said with ill intention.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Your eldest brother is going to work in official circles. If it gets out, and the news of your eldest brother's family unrest gets out, how will the world see your eldest brother? And how will outsiders see you?" Old Mrs. Tang said unhappily.

"Mom, what does this have to do with me?" Gu Nianshu said dissatisfiedly.
