All the elders perked up and simply stayed in the residence. Every day, they took turns to stare at the accounting office and the account book without sleep or rest. They pulled out all the tricks the second branch had done in the account book. Other than the wrong accounts and missing accounts, there was even an elder who remembered that the old marquis, Gu Xuan, had set up a bank in the early years, but he had never mentioned it in the industry list and account book.
In the end, the elders stared at Gu Jian as he handed over the bank deed he had hidden. Only then did Madam Wang know that Gu Jian had hidden a property. She didn't know if she should be angry or heartbroken.
It took a full four days to count all the accounts and assets in the residence.
The patriarch personally checked and divided these businesses one by one. Even the mother and daughter of the third branch, Madam Yan, had a share.
