He felt that Hua Jing's head must have been slammed in a door, otherwise how could she have spent both money and effort to facilitate her husband's affair with another woman?
And, cough! Does his granddaughter mean that Du Binghai stole that basin of black dog blood from the black dog belonging to the second son of the Duke of Wei?
The second son of the Duke of Wei is now frantically searching for his black dog. This is the second piece of gossip he wants to share: it turns out that Du Binghai stole it to get dog blood!
That black dog is someone's half-brother, they even sleep in the same bed! You took blood from someone's own brother, that's a blood feud!
Marquis Changxing wiped the sweat from his forehead. He decided it was best to keep his granddaughter out for the next couple of days, fearing that if people found out, the second son of the Duke of Wei would attack the Du family with a knife.

Moreover, their tribe is not very large. They may discover a gold mine, but they may not be able to protect it. Not to mention whether the Great Jin will send troops, another neighboring tribe is even more ferocious and may also come to plunder it. It would be better to give it to the Great Jin and then ask the Great Jin for some benefits.
Hua Jing also knew the saying "a child holding a gold brick" (meaning good fortune), so after folding the letter, he went to the palace again.
When the emperor heard that a gold mine had been discovered in the Western Regions and that they were going to give it to them, he spat out his tea!
