“I will take my leave.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.
Behind him, the Emperor looked at his back, and a smile flashed across his eyes. “It’s too late to stand by the side now.”
As soon as Gu Chengrui stepped out of the palace gates, he bumped into King Kang again. A trace of impatience flashed across Gu Chengrui’s eyes, but he still went forward and bowed. “Greetings, King Kang.”
“There’s no need to be so polite.” King Kang helped him and asked, “I heard from my Secondary Consort about yesterday’s matter. She did not do it on purpose. Please don’t blame her.”
“It’s just a quarrel; there’s no blame. If Your Highness has nothing else, I will be heading home for breakfast.”
“Why don’t we go to my residence for breakfast? We’re cousins, after all. We haven’t had a proper meal together yet.”
“When our restaurant opens, we can have a good gathering there. I still have to go to the manor after breakfast.”
“You don’t need to be busy with the manor. Just leave it to the servants.”
“Have you forgotten my current position? I research agriculture. If I don’t keep an eye on it, how can I research them?”
King Kang was a little unhappy when he saw that Gu Chengrui wouldn’t budge. He reluctantly replied, “Alright, let’s talk another day.”
“I will take my leave.” Gu Chengrui cupped his fists and bowed before turning around to leave.
At the same time, his face darkened. All parties were making a move on him, using their lack of children as an excuse. He had to be more careful in the future.
After returning home and having breakfast, he told Zhou Ying about this matter and said, “You should be careful. Don’t fall into their trap.”
“I understand.”
“Don’t you think it’s time for us to have a child?”
“To be honest, now that King Rui is not around, it’s time to be vigilant. It is not a suitable time.”
“That’s right. King Hui is probably coming back soon, too. Once he returns, there will definitely be a commotion. Let’s wait a little longer.”
“Yeah. I’ll go out with you today to look at the new manor and see how Uncle Fang is doing there.”
“Let’s go together.”
“Wait a minute, and let me change my clothes.” Zhou Ying returned to her room and changed into a clean set of clothes before heading out with him.
First, Gu Chengrui went to his usual manor, and then Shizhu drove the carriage to the new manor.
Halfway there, Zhou Ying saw Gu Chengrui’s notebook and had no choice but to head back and deliver it to him.
At the same time, she made up her mind to buy a carriage soon. Otherwise, if something happened, it would be inconvenient to have only one carriage.
After arriving at the manor, Zhou Ying lifted the curtain when a mouthful of soil hit her. The wind was so strong that she could not open her eyes.
Shizhu wasn’t faring any better but still handed her bamboo hat over. “Madam, the wind is too strong!”
“It’s better for you to wear it.” Zhou Ying returned to the inside of the carriage. Under the table cover, she took a scarf from her interspace and covered her face.
After getting out of the carriage, she raised her head and saw everyone busy building houses. She turned and asked Shizhu to tie the carriage down before walking inside with her.
A row of brand-new brick dormitories had been built, with new cow, sheep, pig, and chicken pens also completed.
They were now building a warehouse.
“Madam, you’re here. I thought I saw the wrong person.” Head Fang walked over and greeted her.
“I’m here to check on the progress. When is it expected to be completed?”
“In another ten days. The warehouse must be built firmly, and we can’t be careless..”
