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

"Father and mother, we must make Zhu pay with blood. She killed my sister, so let her pay with her life..." Uncle Xie said angrily.

Aunt Xie also echoed.

"That's right, Zhu's life must be paid for life, and Zhu must not be let off."

When Mrs. Xie heard what her son and daughter-in-law said, she nodded in agreement.

"You are right. Life for life. Zhu must give my daughter her life..."

Old Madam Xie looked at Old Master Xie.

"Go to the Gu Mansion now and tell that bastard Gu Bowen that if Zhu is not allowed to pay for her life with her own, then we will go to the palace to file a complaint and ask the emperor to make the decision..."

When Old Master Xie heard what his wife said, he nodded.

"Okay, I'll take the third one over there right away."

Madam Xie also stood up.

"I'll go as well."

The residence of Minister Gu.

Minister Gu is on leave today. After Gu Zhao gave him the testimony, he had a big fight with Zhu and said he wanted to divorce Zhu. He has been feeling uneasy these past few days. He knows that the Xie family will definitely come looking for him.

He first went to Madam Gu's courtyard and told Madam Xie the truth of the matter.

"Kneel down."

When Old Madam Gu heard what Minister Gu said, she was extremely angry.

Although Madam Gu had sent people to investigate the matter before, she did not find any evidence. She was also ill at the time, and many of the people who served Mrs. Xie were later sent away.

Minister Gu knelt on the ground and was beaten severely by Old Madam Gu with a cane.

"Xie was so kind, but you didn't cherish her. It's all your fault... And Zhu, how could she be so cruel?"

Minister Gu knelt on the ground and allowed Old Madam Gu to beat him.

Seeing how excited Madam Gu was, Nanny Gu hurriedly tried to persuade her.

"Madam, please don't be angry. The doctor said that you should take care of your health..."

Madam Gu said with tears in her eyes, feeling guilty.

"It's our fault. We are sorry for our daughter-in-law Xie. If I had sent more people to take care of her and paid more attention to her, she wouldn't have been killed, and Zhao'er wouldn't have had to suffer for so many years..."

Seeing her eldest son kneeling on the ground, Mrs. Gu took out her walking stick and hit him hard several times.

"Old lady."

Madam Gu’s eyes went dark and she almost fainted.

"Mother, it's fine if you hit me or scold me, but please don't get yourself hurt by being angry."

Minister Gu and Nanny Gu hurriedly supported Old Madam Gu.

Old Madam Gu shook off Minister Gu's hand.

"I don't need you to help me, just get out of here."

Minister Gu knelt on the ground again.

"Besides talking about this, what else did you come here for today?"

Madam Gu knew that her eldest son must have other things to tell her when he came to talk about this today. Otherwise, he would never tell her this.

"Zhao'er told his son a few days ago to divorce his wife..."

Minister Gu lowered his head and continued.

"It's not that my son doesn't want to divorce his wife, but my son and the Zhu family have been together for so many years, and they have been together in many things. Besides, Qing'er and Rong'er are so old now, and Qing'er is about to take the imperial examination. If his mother reveals such a scandal, Qing'er will be ruined... My son has only this one legitimate son, and if Qing'er is ruined, then the Gu family will be finished..."

Hearing Minister Gu's words, Old Madam Gu stared at her eldest son.

"Now at this time, you still want to protect Zhu?"

Madam Gu was extremely disappointed. She didn't expect that her eldest son still wanted to protect Zhu at this time.
