“Aunt Liang made kidney bean cakes last night, but none of you had eaten them, so she asked me to bring them over to let you have a taste.” Xiaxiang handed it to Zhou Ying.

“Look at my memory. If you didn’t mention it, I would have forgotten about it.” Zhou Ying then took a piece. “You guys try it too.”

After saying that, she began to taste it. She nodded and said, “It’s not bad. It’s delicate and sweet.

“It’s just a little too dry and a little choking. The next time she soaked the beans, she would need to soak them for another two more hours.”

She looked up at the two of them and asked, “What do you think?”

Seeing this, the two of them each took a piece and ate it. Niu Liying nodded in agreement. “It’s indeed a little choking, but everything else is great.”

Xiaxiang nodded in agreement. She turned to look at Gu Chengrui and asked, “Mistress, do you want Young Master Zhou and Master to taste it?”

“No need. They don’t really like sweets. You can send them back.” Zhou Ying said.

“Yes, this servant will take her leave now.” Xiaxiang turned around and left.

However, when she turned around, her face was filled with unwillingness, but she did not dare to say anything.

On the other end, after Xiaxiang had left, Zhou Huaiming asked, “I heard that you stayed in King Kang’s Residence for half a day.”

Gu Chengrui nodded and told him what happened today in detail. “You don’t know, today was really a day of fear for me.

“Fortunately, I didn’t let my guard down. Otherwise, I would have really fallen today.”

“Brother Gu, you’re quite lucky with women.” Zhou Huaiming laughed.

“Should I give some of that luck to you?” Gu Chengrui rolled his eyes at him.

“Don’t. I don’t have the fortune to enjoy such luxury.”

“But to be honest, you’re not young anymore. Do you have anyone you like? It’s time to get married.”

After Zhou Huai Ming heard this, the smile on his face gradually faded. “Let’s talk about it after everything is settled.”

Gu Chengrui did not ask further when he heard this. Instead, he glanced around and confirmed that there was no one else other than Zhou Ying and her servant. He asked softly, “Didn’t you come here today for something? Tell me, what’s the matter?”

Zhou Huaiming looked at his actions and nodded in his heart. “You should be able to tell that the battle for the throne is about to begin.

“I was entrusted by His Highness to come here. He asked me to ask you if you wanted to participate.”

Gu Chengrui was stunned for a moment when he heard that. He quickly understood his words’ meaning, hesitated momentarily, and nodded. “Actually, when Gu Wanning married, or rather, when we saved you, we were already prepared.

“If you need anything, just let me know.”

“His Highness did not misjudge you. Since you agree, then come to the residence tomorrow night and we can discuss it together.”

“Alright, what time?”

“Before midnight, you must be there on time.”

“Definitely.”

“There’s one thing I don’t understand. Since you wanted to participate, why did you remind His Highness about Qiao Lanlan sabotaging the main wife?

“Later, you even reminded Uncle Feng to save the princess consort and the child in her stomach.”

“That’s another matter.

“The first time, honestly, I saved her because I was afraid something would also happen to His Highness.

“The second time, the Su Family wasn’t just sabotaging the princess consort, but the entire residence, including us husband and wife.

“Moreover, the princess consort and the child are innocent.

“I’m not afraid to tell you that the Emperor asked me before, asking that I favor one of the princes more..”
