When the prince of no descendants found out that he had a baby, he went crazy

Chapter 83 The fourth room was instigated to fight for property
Gu Hua tamed the former unruly bodyguards overnight, and gave each of them twenty taels of silver in advance so that they could save them to marry wives or take them back to their families.

Afterwards, he asked Mu Feng to arrange people to take them to support Mu Lei's caravan heading to the Western Frontier. After all, there are not only rampant and brutal bandits there, but also victims of the drought who are wandering around.

…Sometimes refugees are scarier than bandits.

-

Gu Hua stood in the corridor with her hands behind her back and looked into the yard. The scenery was pleasant and there were clusters of flowers, but the beautiful scene in front of her did not catch her eye.

... frowned slightly.

Gu Hua had no intention of taking her children to the capital, but when she found out that wealthy businessmen from disaster-stricken areas had brought their wealth to Jiangzhou City to seek refuge with relatives and friends, she hesitated.

The last time she came back from Danyang County selling jade, she saw many places hit by floods along the way, but it was not out of control. How could the situation become so serious in such a short time that a wealthy businessman had to flee with his family?

Gu Hua raised her hand and rubbed her temple. If her guess was correct, the disaster-stricken areas might have been caused by either corrupt officials or the imperial court did not issue disaster relief for some unknown reason after reporting the disaster.

Most businessmen are well-informed. They should have heard that the people who have been waiting for relief and appeasement from the court for a long time have already fled famine and rioted. This is why they may leave the territories they run in advance to avoid disaster.

In addition, when Mu Feng mentioned that the caravan led by Mu Lei encountered refugees and bandits who were robbed by drought on the way to Western Xinjiang, Gu Hua realized the seriousness of the situation.

There are floods in the south and severe drought in the northwest, and people have begun to flee famine and become displaced.

Gu Hua looked up at the sky, as if he had some feelings.

She felt that if the imperial court ignored the natural disaster, it would inevitably lead to man-made disasters. She always had a feeling that the Xuan Dynasty was going to be in chaos.

The trip to the capital has been decided. A few days ago, Gu Hua also wrote a letter to his uncle Chen Yunting, who is an official in the capital, worried that after he left, something unpredictable would happen in Jiangzhou because of the floods in the south.

In the end, Gu Hua decided to keep the four little ones by his side so that he could feel at ease.

As for the possibility of running into the biological father of the children, compared with the safety of the four little ones, meeting that man doesn't seem to be that serious.

He has given birth to four children. Even if the truth comes out, he might be so cruel as to kill himself.

After thinking it through, Gu Hua decisively ordered Xia He and Chun Lan to pack up the children's things. This made the four children who had secretly followed their mother because they wanted her not to take them away very happy.

Before leaving, Gu Hua received 2.15 million taels of silver from Gu Chen and Su Fuying, which were withdrawn from the Gu family's existing 80 stores.

"This is the first quarter's revenue for all stores. Why is it so much?"

Gu Hua originally thought that he could only collect more than one million taels of silver, but he didn't expect to collect more than two million taels.

"It's not that much. Last year you opened six or seven new stores in other nearby cities. Of course your revenue in the first quarter is higher than before."

Gu Hua nodded. In the past few years, she had expanded her business even more than when her father was alive. She had already moved out of Jiangzhou and bought shops in other prefectures to do business.

Gu Hua put the banknote away.

Gu Chen walked over and sat opposite her, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Gu Hua glanced at him and said, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so shy?"

Gu Chen curled his lips and said with disdain: "It's those Gu clan members. They were brought to our house by our third uncle yesterday to look for our grandfather and father. They want our fourth and sixth branches to return to our family." Gu Hua narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "What did the fourth grandfather and second uncle say?"

Gu Chen took a look at Gu Hua's face and stated his attitude first, "I am determined to stand on the same front with you, my cousin."

Gu Hua did not ask any more questions, because after she expressed her attitude, when Gu Chen met her evasive eyes, she had already guessed that the old people had family feelings, and it was not difficult to understand why they were persuaded by that group of clan members with ulterior motives.

However, those who want to return to their clan through the Fourth House are probably thinking too much.

Sure enough, Gu Chen and Su Fuying had not left yet.

Fourth Grandfather and Second Uncle Gu Jiqing were surrounded by members of the Gu clan led by Third Uncle and came to the Gu Mansion. Perhaps because Gu Hua had regained her female identity, many influential women in the clan also came this time.

"Hua'er, why don't you call anyone?" Fourth Grandpa said hesitantly.

Gu Hua did not answer the Fourth Master's question, but asked himself, "What is the purpose of Fourth Master's visit today?"

"You kid, most of these clansmen who came here are your elders, how can you be so rude." Seeing that Gu Hua did not respond to her father-in-law's words, Miao shouted unhappily.

Gu Hua simply ignored the people from the fourth room, raised his eyes and glanced at the people who came, and said in a flat tone: "I am not familiar with you. If you have nothing to do, please leave as soon as possible."

"Gu Hua." The third uncle smiled coldly, as if he had something to hold her in his hands, and shouted with hatred in his voice: "Since ancient times, there has been no reason for women to inherit the family business.

Now you can let the fourth house manage the property, and from now on you can learn the rules from Miao's side, and wait to find a good family to marry you into."

Gu Hua looked at the silent Fourth Grandfather and the so-called cousin and said coldly: "Which law says that women can't inherit the family business?"

"Humph!" Third Uncle snorted coldly: "It's not in the law, but every dynasty has a family rule that if a branch has no male heir, the family business will be inherited by the bloodline of close relatives."

"Ha!" Gu Hua turned his head to look at the people in Room 4, "Do you think so too?"

The wrinkled face of the fourth grandfather flickered for a moment, and he gently persuaded: "Hua'er, you are a girl and you will get married eventually. You can't take the Gu family's property with you.

This is the rule set by our ancestors, and we cannot violate it."

Gu Hua curled his lips and smiled. This old man was brainwashed by Gu’s people.

She turned to look at her cousin Gu Jiqing again. She didn't know what he had heard, but there was a hint of anticipation on his face.

...What are you expecting? Of course, you are expecting Gu Hua to hand over the family business to the fourth room for management.

Miao, who was standing next to them, walked over to touch this, then walked back to touch that. At this moment, she looked at everything in the Gu Mansion with burning eyes, as if everything had become their home.

When Gu Chen felt his cousin... no... cousin's eyes falling on him, he expressed his opinion again with a sincere tone: "Their thoughts absolutely do not represent me. The family business earned by my cousin uncle should be inherited by you, his biological blood."

"What are you talking about, you little bastard." Miao wanted to cover her stupid son's mouth. It would be a waste not to have such a huge family business, just like the clan members said. He was so stupid that he would die.

Gu Chen: "Mom, this is what my cousin earned. How can we compete with my cousin for the family business?"

"Achen, you are wrong." An old lady from the clan said, "Since ancient times, men have been responsible for the outside affairs and women for the inside affairs. If your family does not take over the Sixth House's business, do you want Gu Hua to stay single for the rest of her life?"
