Ancient Wen Heng's face darkened as he listened. He looked up at his older brothers. "You gave Father silver."
Gu Yuanjin cleared his throat. "Father said he wanted to have a few drinks with someone, so he asked me for some silver taels. It wasn't much, so I gave him some a few times."
Gu Yuantu scratched his head. "I gave him some too."
Gu Yuanshui and Gu Yuanhuo looked at each other and said in unison, "He asked us too."
'All right, looks like we've found the answer. That old man is probably really up to no good.'
"I mean, Father's already so old..." Xie Ruyi said, then immediately covered her mouth. It seemed it wasn't their place as daughters-in-law to speak about their father-in-law's affairs, and besides, what she said was inappropriate.
Jin Qianqian pursed her lips, lowering her head to fiddle with the jade bracelet on her wrist. Inwardly, however, a wave of impatience washed over her.
Ancient Wen Heng asked, "What do you all think about this?"
