After picking up Xiao Jie from school at night and letting him look after her younger brother, Xiao Hao, she went to Qin Wu’s house at the right time and told him about the matter.

The next day, Qin Wu deliberately checked, but he found nothing.

However, when he heard that the marriage of the princess of King Xian’s family had been brought forward, Qin Wu immediately realized that this matter might be true.

Therefore, he immediately found a matchmaker and brought forward the wedding ten days later.

After receiving the news, Mrs. Yao immediately prepared a dowry for Gu Ziqiong.

On the other end, Zhou Ying and Mingyu brought their children to the largest manor under her name, the breeding farm she had taken over from King Hui.

The manor was massive. There was no smell as the main courtyard was far away from the breeding area.

Mingyu looked at the luxurious two-door courtyard in front of her. “As expected of the rich and imposing King Hui. This courtyard is not big, but the cost is definitely extravagant.”

“Yeah, and the interior has been renovated. You can live in comfort.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she carried Guoguo toward the main courtyard.

When Mingyu saw this, she immediately followed.

Because no man was around, they stayed in the east and west rooms, respectively.

As soon as they unpacked, the head of the manor, Head He, came over.

Zhou Ying carried Guoguo to the front.

“Greetings, Mistress.” Head He immediately bowed when he saw her coming out.

“Please, get up. There’s no need to be so polite. Is everything alright in the manor?”

“It’s going well. I was just about to tell you that the early-maturing peaches and plums are about to ripen. Do you think we can pick them?”

“That’s right. It’s almost the season.

“You can start looking for people now. Remember to pick them before they are fully ripened.

“Especially the peaches. Pick them when they’re 80% ripe, or they won’t be able to be stored until they are sold.”

“I will remember it.”

“Oh, right, and those livestock. It’s too hot now, so you must pay attention to hygiene and prevent mosquitoes and flies.

“Also, get more dandelions, honeysuckles, and other heat-clearing and detoxifying medicines to prevent any sickness.”

“I’ll make the arrangements now.”

“Go. We will stay at the manor for a few days. Get someone to send some fresh vegetables and meat over every day.”

“Yes.” He Yuan responded and turned to leave.

Zhou Ying returned to her room.

After a while, He Yuan’s wife came over with two servant girls, a basket of cole, a chicken, some eggs, and a carp.

In the evening, Zhou Ying cooked dinner personally.

She readied steamed egg custard for the two children, sweet and sour fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, and garlic and cole.

After dinner, she smoked out the mosquitoes in the yard and played with the two children. The two children were quite happy to play together.

Mingyu smiled when she saw this. “Whoa, it’s much cooler in this manor. At least there’s a little breeze. I think I can sleep soundly at night.”

“Indeed, there are too many people in the capital, making it hot. It’s much better when we are here.

“But don’t open the curtains at night. The wind from the mountain is still quite wild. It’ll be troublesome if you catch a cold.”

“Mhm, I’ll remember it.”

“By the way, have you seen Wanning recently?”

“I have. Every time I visit the palace to visit Empress Dowager, I will see her.

“She complained more than once that you hadn’t visited her in three to four months.”

“Maybe after the new year, as Chengrui is busy every day. I had to care for Guoguo, so I don’t have the time.”

“I think you’re just lazy and think the palace has too many rules.”

“Oh, don’t blow my cover.

“But it is part of the truth. In the past, Guoguo was still young and could be taken care of by a nanny. Now that she’s older, she’s very clingy. She wouldn’t eat properly without me..”
