Mrs. Gu's parents belonged to the Zhang Mansion, which was owned by a governor.
The governor might not be a very powerful official title, yet they did have actual power. That was why Gu Zhenkang looked down at Mrs. Lin for being the daughter of a business family and married Mrs. Gu instead. The governor was still, after all, an official title, and Mrs. Gu was still a lady of an official family.
At The Zhang Mansion.
Mrs. Gu had been praised by the entire Zhang Mansion every time she went there in the past, but this time, she was sneered at.
Mrs. Gu used to hire her men to run those stores, but when the incidents happened to the stores, those employees ran away. Since those stores were running out of money because of her, Mrs. Gu was no longer welcomed among her family. No one was at the door greeting her.
Only the daughter-in-law Mrs. Jinzhang and Madame Zhang said hello to her, since she was her own daughter.
