Chapter 589: Not Accurate
Gu Zhenkang sighed heavily.
It was his impulse that had driven the girl out of the family. That girl was being serious!
He had thought that he would lose the dowries… so Gu Zhenkang was not as anxious.
“Just let her have them now.” Gu Zhenkang said with his rarely-seen unstable tone, “We can’t do anything against the King’s order. We have to live a frugal life now, but…”
“…”
“But we don’t need to be worried. Yunhe has his own job now and Ruxue is the Princess Consort and the Phoenix Girl, we are getting many presents as we are giving out these things,” Gu Zhenkang said proudly. “We have power, which is more valuable. Don’t you get it? When Lord Ling takes the throne in the future, we can get it back,” Gu Zhenkang said calmly.
He had once thought about standing straight and giving up Ms. Lin’s dowries, but Madame Gu told him not to, and the situation stopped him from doing anything like that. Now finally, the dowries were gone.
He did not need to be laughed at by anyone! Gu Zhenkang was not living in a woman’s shadow, but on his own!
Mrs. Gu calmed down after hearing what he said. That made sense. The Gu Mansion was a popular family in the capital and there were many people who gave them presents. They were going to survive.
After they thought it through, the Officer and his staff arrived, together with the imperial army.
The Officer and his staff showed a serious look on their faces, since they had been angered many times before. “Officer Gu, lead the way. The King says that we have to get it done as soon as possible!”
Gu Zhenkang had to hold down his anger. He hid away his expression and snorting, he showed the way.
Special guards were standing at the storage door, more than those standing at the front yard. Those guards panicked at the sight of the large group of people.
Gu Zhenkang said directly, “Open the storage now!”
Without saying anything more, the Officer’s staff and imperial army started to move the stuff.
It took more than 100 people almost four hours to take those things away.
In the end, the Officer’s staff found that the amount was not accurate, since they had an alternative list for them to check. They had a discussion with the imperial army and they were all worried that the mission would not be completed properly.
The leader of the imperial army came to Gu Zhenkang and said, “The things don’t match, please get everything sorted out properly, Officer Gu.”
Gu Zhenkang had no confidence on his face.
Those things were either used or taken away by Lord Ling. There was nothing he could do.
“What about getting them ready in two days?” Gu Zhenkang asked.
“Then come with me and talk about this with the Elder Miss instead,” the leader said directly and took him away.
Mrs. Gu followed, in case Gu Zhenkang did not know what to do.
They were in the last wagon that carried the things.
Soon they came to Gu Chaoyan’s mansion.
Gu Chaoyan was just drinking the tea when the leader came in with Gu Zhenkang, as he said firmly, “Elder Miss, many things are missing and they don’t match the list, please see what should be done.”
