Probably no one in the capital would have thought that the first day the Gong family welcomed the return of their young madam, they would also get rid of the second branch. The second branch was extended from Old Master Gong's blood brother, but they were gone just like that.
Furthermore, it was Gong Tianhao who did it personally. Old Master Gong didn't say anything to stop it. The meaning was quite clear.
Many people immediately understood that the Gong family was helping the new young madam and the heir of the main branch by removing the dangerous obstacles.
After all, the reason why the Gong family's second branch was eyeing the Gong family covetously was that the Gong family was small.
Hence, when Gong Tianhao was young, they secretly tried to kill him.
When Gong Tianhao grew up, there were rumors that Gong Tianhao won't get married. But if he didn't get married, how would the main branch get its official heir?
Conspiracies. I do love them
