Dong Yuan acted very swiftly this time, discovering within three days that what Xiang Wei said was true. The Gu Family's last assets were gone, yet they all remained clueless about such a major issue. As soon as this news spread within the Gu Family, chaos erupted.
The last time the Gu Family's eldest secretly mortgaged the communal property, resulting in complete loss, the family had considered splitting assets, but it was suppressed by the Old Grand Master Gu. Now, the eldest is repeating his old tricks, and the members of other Gu Family branches are all furious, with Fourth Madam Gu immediately calling for a division of the family assets.
Old Madam Gu knew that the root of the matter was money, so she sought assistance from Gu Jianzhang. As long as money was produced to appease everyone, the issue could pass. Dong Yuan is currently the wealthiest in the Gu Family, and only Gu Jianzhang could persuade her to contribute money.
