âI will take my leave.â 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. âItâs too late to stand by the side now.â
As soon as Gu Chengrui stepped out of the palace gates, he bumped into King Kang again. A trace of impatience flashed across Gu Chengruiâs eyes, but he still went forward and bowed. âGreetings, King Kang.â
âThereâs no need to be so polite.â King Kang helped him and asked, âI heard from my Secondary Consort about yesterdayâs matter. She did not do it on purpose. Please donât blame her.â
âItâs just a quarrel; thereâs no blame. If Your Highness has nothing else, I will be heading home for breakfast.â
âWhy donât we go to my residence for breakfast? Weâre cousins, after all. We havenât had a proper meal together yet.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWhen our restaurant opens, we can have a good gathering there. I still have to go to the manor after breakfast.â
âYou donât need to be busy with the manor. Just leave it to the servants.â
âHave you forgotten my current position? I research agriculture. If I donât keep an eye on it, how can I research them?â
King Kang was a little unhappy when he saw that Gu Chengrui wouldnât budge. He reluctantly replied, âAlright, letâs talk another day.â
âI will take my leave.â 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, âYou should be careful. Donât fall into their trap.â
âI understand.â
âDonât you think itâs time for us to have a child?â
âTo be honest, now that King Rui is not around, itâs time to be vigilant. It is not a suitable time.â
âThatâs right. King Hui is probably coming back soon, too. Once he returns, there will definitely be a commotion. Letâs wait a little longer.â
âYeah. Iâll go out with you today to look at the new manor and see how Uncle Fang is doing there.â
âLetâs go together.â
âWait a minute, and let me change my clothes.â 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 Chengruiâs 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 wasnât faring any better but still handed her bamboo hat over. âMadam, the wind is too strong!â
âItâs better for you to wear it.â 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.
âMadam, youâre here. I thought I saw the wrong person.â Head Fang walked over and greeted her.
âIâm here to check on the progress. When is it expected to be completed?â
âIn another ten days. The warehouse must be built firmly, and we canât be careless..â
