“70%?!” Gu Yunrong raised her eyebrows in surprise. It was only at this moment that she realized that something was wrong. “What’s going on?”

Madam Wang was burning with anxiety. She exaggerated the cause and effect of Gu Jian’s conquest by the Emperor and the separation of the family. She complained angrily, “Gu Yuan and Gu Yanfei are really too greedy. They’re unfilial and disrespectful. Anyone can tell that they were raised without a mother!”

“…” Gu Yunrong widened her eyes in shock. Under her dense eyelashes, her ink-stained pupils were exceptionally deep.

In order to snatch the Gu family’s assets, Gu Yanfei actually didn’t hesitate to make the Gu family lose the title of Marquis of Dingyuan?

If she couldn’t get it herself, she would rather destroy it! This move was too ruthless and heartless!

How could she do this?!

Madam Wang tightened her grip on Gu Yunrong’s hand and said anxiously, “Rong’er, hurry up and look for Kang Wang. You can’t let the eldest branch split all the assets.”

Previously, because the eldest branch only split 15% of the assets, Madam Wang didn’t hide it. She took out all the account books at home openly. She wanted to split them openly so that the eldest branch wouldn’t cause trouble because they had too few assets.

But the situation now was completely different!

Madam Wang’s heart was filled with regret and anxiety. The poisonous teeth of regret seemed to be biting her heart.

I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so honest. I should have hidden the account books.

When Eldest Uncle left, Gu Yuan wasn’t even 10 years old. He definitely had no clue about the Marquis Household’s family business. Even if she hid a portion of the accounts, Gu Yuan would never discover it.

But now, it was too late for regrets.

Gu Yunrong already had a knot in her heart about Madam Wang, so she couldn’t comfort her against his will. She only said calmly, “1’11 go in and take a look.”

Madam Wang was already in a mess and didn’t notice Gu Yunrong’s coldness at all. She hurriedly let go of her hand and wanted to hurry her in.

Before she could finish speaking, she heard the patriarch’s old and calm voice coming from the hall.

“There’s one more thing. Gu Xuan’s bloodline has to be a legitimate concubine!”

“The first wife is the first wife, and the second wife is the second wife. How can they be mixed together like now? It’s a mess.”

“Sigh, how improper!”

Finally, there was a faint sigh.

“First wife? Second wife?” Gu Yunrong frowned slightly in confusion and was at a loss.

What does all of this mean?!

With this hesitation, Gu Yunrong stopped in her tracks and stopped under the corridor. She looked in the direction of the patriarch in the hall.

The patriarch was completely unaware that there was another person outside the hall and was still speaking eloquently. “The family tree has to be changed too!”

“There’s no reason in this world to record the only son of the first wife under the stepmother’s name.”

The patriarch secretly felt that Gu Xuan’s actions were a little inexplicable. The other elders had the same thoughts, but Gu Xuan was long gone. It was useless to argue about this.

All they could do now was make up for it.

Madam Gu’s hair trembled violently again as she retorted excitedly, “I’m not a concubine!”

“Qi Zhaoning is the…”

The word “substitute” was about to come out of her mouth, but she didn’t say it in the end. In the end, she forcefully changed it to another word. “Concubine!”

“She’s my concubine sister. She’s just a concubine.”

Madam Gu gritted her teeth as she said these words. Thin veins bulged on her neck.

It had been a long time since she mentioned her eldest sister’s name. When she said it now, it felt so jerky, as if the last time she called out this name was in her previous life.

Qi Zhaoning. Gu Yanfei silently repeated this name in her heart and silently exchanged glances with Gu Yuan.

It turned out that their biological grandmother’s name was Qi Zhaoning.

Madam Gu raised her neck arrogantly, her voice as cold as ice and filled with disdain. She looked at the patriarch and elders and said, “Qi Zhaoning was born by a lowly concubine. Does your Gu family really want to acknowledge a concubine’s daughter as a legitimate wife?”

Madam Gu stood up straight. Her old and turbid eyes shone with an abnormally bright light, and her expression was clearly high up in the air.

This was her pride as the daughter of an aristocratic family!

In the Qi family, she was the master. Her eldest sister was just a servant!

The patriarch calmly stroked his beard and only raised his eyebrows slightly. He asked, “Why not?”

His matter-of-fact attitude stunned Madam Gu.

Madam Gu’s expression froze again. The corners of her lips were as tense as iron, and she was rendered speechless by the patriarch again.

Madam Gu was from the Qi family of Yingchuan and paid the most attention to the status of the legitimate wife and concubine. In her heart, a concubine’s daughter wasn’t qualified to be the first wife.

However, the patriarch didn’t care about this at all.

The Gu family came from a humble background, and the patriarch grew up in the countryside when he was young. When his family was poor, he even ate tree bark. Later on, during the war, he had also seen people exchanging their children for food.

What was the big deal about having a concubine’s daughter as the first wife?

The patriarch couldn’t be bothered to say anything else to Madam Gu. He said to the elders, “There’s no time like the present. Let’s open the ancestral hall today and end this matter.”

The elders had no objections. They nodded and stood up. No one cared if Madam Gu liked or objected.

Madam Gu had married into the Marquis Household for more than 30 years, and these clansmen had always respected her. Suddenly, it was as if the world had collapsed, and she instantly fell from the clouds to the abyss.

She no longer had a place in the eyes of these Gu family members.

It was as if she was alive but had no presence…

To Madam Gu, this was worse than killing her!

“No…”

Madam Gu suddenly stood up from her chair. Anger, unwillingness, humiliation, and other emotions intertwined into a burning heart fire that rushed to her head again.

She got up too quickly and her vision darkened again. Dizziness swept through her body..

Her feet softened and her body swayed as she staggered forward…
