“Leaving? Brother Zhou is leaving again?” Gu Chengrui was shocked by this.

“Yes, the soldiers we brought here must return as soon as possible, just in case.” The Third Prince nodded.

“Do you want to send a letter back? We’re going back by water this time and will pass by Qingshui Town. We can help you send a letter back home.” Zhou Huaiming said.

“I’ll have to trouble Brother Zhou to help us send a letter back. I’ll write it after dinner.”

“Alright, let’s eat.” Zhou Huaiming then asked the servant girl beside him to inform the kitchen to serve the food.

Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying went to wash their hands and then sat back down. “I heard that you’ve started renovating the residence over there?” The Third Prince asked.

“Yes, it’s mainly the fireplace and heated floors. Otherwise, it’ll be too cold in the winter.

“Other than that, we’re just giving a fresh coat of paint to the wails and the like. Nothing much.”

“Heated floor?”

Gu Chengrui nodded and then briefly explained the principle to them.

“Insulated walls are technically better, but it will be tough to renovate once those insulated walls are erected.”

“It sounds more convenient and cleaner than a portable fireplace.

“When you move over, 1 will go over and try it out. If feasible, the Imperial Residence will be renovated the same way, and 1 can save a lot of money.” “You’re more than welcome. 1 wanted to invite you guys over for an open house once our residence is fully renovated. 1 didn’t expect Brother Zhou to leave so early.”

“Don’t worry. When 1 get married, he will come back. We’ll meet again then.”

Zhou Huaiming was in a good mood when he heard the Third Prince mention his marriage. A dark flint flashed in his eyes when he remembered the information he had found.

If Sun Miaoke listened to his advice, it would be all fine. Otherwise, this marriage would be quite a troublesome business.

The dishes were served just then, and the four stopped chatting and started eating.

After the meal, Gu Chengrui borrowed the Third Prince’s study to write a letter to his family, especially mentioning that the Gu family had been exonerated.

However, he also reminded them to keep a low profile as much as possible in case they were targeted again.

“Here, Brother Zhou. Also, when you return to the capital, see if there are any extra vegetable seeds in the village and bring some back for me.”

“No problem. Let’s meet again when I’m back.” Zhou Huaiming kept the letter well.

However, he had no intention of getting up to leave. Gu Chengrui immediately understood and said, “You guys continue chatting. We’ll go back first.”

“Remember to attend the morning court assembly together tomorrow.” The Third Prince reminded him.

Gu Chengrui nodded and went home with Zhou Ying.

After they left, Zhou Huaiming hesitated momentarily before handing the information he had found on Sun Miaoke to the Third Prince.”Sun Miaoke has someone she likes. I wonder who she will choose in the end.”

The Third Prince’s eyes narrowed after hearing that. He flipped through the information and said, “Whether it’s the rumors or the various investigations, they all praised her for being talented, strong, and decisive. I guess it was all exaggeration.”

“This might be a common problem for women. Once it comes to feelings, they become indecisive.”

The Third Prince nodded and did not reply. Instead, he asked, “People are watching her, right?”

“Yes, I heard it has been hushed these two days. She must be considering the gains and losses.”

“You can talk to Chu Fan. If there’s any news, just send it to me.”

“You plan to…”

“I’ll wait for their decision. It’s up to her.”

“Understood. I’ll set off now.”

“Go. Bring enough people and be careful on the way.” After the Third Prince finished speaking, he stood up and sent him out of the courtyard.

Madam Zhou discovered Gu Chengrui had become a third-grade farming officer while the Zhou family sat together and chatted. “Damn,” she said regretfully..
