Chapter 161 Angry
As soon as Yuan Zhao heard it, he knew that Gu Qingchen had misunderstood. Although he knew that he and Gu Qingfeng were brothers, Yuan Zhao still acted surprised at the right time.

"Xuezi Gu, why is it you?"

"Brother, do you know each other?"

Gu Qingfeng and Yuan Zhao exported almost at the same time.

"Brother? What a coincidence?"

"When I heard your name before, I felt a little familiar, so it turned out to be like this."

Yuan Zhao looked 'suddenly enlightened'.

Gu Qingchen didn't understand, so she didn't know that Yuan Zhao came here today to invite his brother to be the shopkeeper until she heard her brother's explanation.

After listening to it, he didn't feel relieved, but felt more and more strange.

Before, when Yuan Zhao helped, he already felt that the other party was too generous.

Now, the other party came to my home and wanted his younger brother to be the shopkeeper, but he said he didn't know they were brothers.

He didn't quite believe this reason, it was too far-fetched.

He didn't think their family had any evil intentions, but he couldn't think of the reason why Yuan Zhao was so good to him.

"Think about it and tell me."

Seeing that the two brothers were a little wary, Yuan Zhao didn't say any more:

"I'll give you three days. If you want to be the shopkeeper, come to me. Your elder brother knows the place."

After saying this, Yuan Zhao left first.

She knew that Gu Qingchen and the others would be suspicious. The more enthusiastic they were, the more suspicious they would be.

Because of a delay with Gu Qingchen and the others, it was already late when Yuan Zhao returned.

Linglong got the news and waited outside the Hou Mansion early. When she saw Yuan Zhao returning safely, she hurriedly greeted him.

"Miss, you are back, you scared the slaves to death."

"Nothing, don't worry."

"Is something wrong in the mansion?"

Yuan Zhao asked casually, and Linglong quickly said:

"There is indeed something."

"Today the second wife made a fuss in front of the old lady, saying that the old lady was partial, which made the old lady faint from anger."

"Oh?"

When Yuan Zhao heard this, she immediately became interested. It was a pity that she missed such a good scene.

"What exactly is going on?"

Wenfeng on the side couldn't help but ask.

"Of course it's about family separation."

Yuan Zhao said.

She knew what was going on as soon as she heard it. She knew the temperament of the second and third wives very well. They would never believe that the old lady would be good for them.

In addition, in the past few days, I had asked Wenfeng to bribe the maid who bought two houses to add fuel to the flames. Naturally, they would not believe it even more.

"Grandma is sick, so naturally I, the granddaughter-in-law, have to go and visit her."

"Linglong, go look for the ginseng root in my trousseau. I'll go over and have a look."

Yuan Zhao ordered.

"Miss, where can the old woman use ginseng?"

Linglong was reluctant.

In the past, she thought Mrs. Zhou was a good person, but now she realizes that she is a hungry wolf that eats people without spitting out bones.

She doesn't want to waste a good thing.

"Don't worry, your lady will not do business without money."

Yuan Zhao said.

Upon hearing this, Linglong hurriedly went to get wild ginseng.

When Yuan Zhao goes to Mrs. Zhou's yard, Mrs. Zhou will wake up.

She was already old, and this time she was so angry that she couldn't calm down. When she opened her eyes, she obviously felt that her body was much stiffer.

The most important thing is that when she opened her eyes, she realized that besides her dowry maid, there was no one in the third room to serve her. A chill flashed in Mrs. Zhou's eyes.

"Where is Lord Hou?"

She asked with difficulty.

Her dowry maid hesitated for a moment and then said:
"Master Hou is in Aunt Bai's room."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhou's eyes flashed with disappointment.

She didn't know how Zhou's father became like this, a majestic Marquis, but now he was so fascinated by a peasant girl.

Sure enough, her decision was correct, the family must be divided.

If this continues, something serious will happen to the Hou Mansion.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard the voice of a maid saluting outside:

"Hi, young lady."

Mrs. Zhou: "..."

At this time, the person she least wanted to see was Yuan Zhao.

Her health is obviously not as good as before, and she is afraid that she will be pissed to death when she sees Yuan Zhao again.
