Thinking Too Much

After the Qiao family heard about this upon returning home, they all gave a thumbs up.

"Admirable! Each person will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver. If you want to eat something, make it yourself. Fill your stomach first."

Yuan Jiaqi sighed, "Madam Wang is truly disappointing. Our people worked hard for her for a whole day, yet she didn't even reward them."

"Yes, I'm getting more disappointed with her. Well, let's leave it at that."

The people who helped were overjoyed. Qiao Mai was generous, and working for her always felt confident.

After a few days, the emperor learned about the matter, summoned Minister Gao to the palace, and scolded him thoroughly before letting him go.

When he returned home, Minister Gao gave Madam Gao a severe beating.

It wasn't just about withholding the dowry; it revealed the family's character.
