Thinking of this, she couldnât fall asleep.
The next morning, Chu Jiao went to find her mother after breakfast.
When Mrs. Chu heard this, she slapped her thigh and exclaimed, âIsnât this a dream of a toad lusting after the swan? Why would you have such a dream?
âDonât worry, youâre still the daughter of a second-grade official.
âWhile you canât be the Empress, you can still be a consort.â
Not only was Chu Jiao not comforted, but she was angered. Was she a toad?
Unfortunately, this was her biological mother, so she couldnât refute her. She could only say a few polite words and leave with a stomach full of anger.
After that, she did not dare to ask anyone else. Instead, she silently went back to her room to practice her calligraphy. She had to calm her heart down as soon as possible. Otherwise, even she herself would feel like a toad.
Zhou Ying didnât know that this dream that had hit her made Chu Jiao uneasy.
Instead, she stared at the palace thoughtfully. Three days later, she was relieved that Gu Wanning was fine.
Early in the morning, Zhou Ying was about to head out to the manor when she suddenly saw Tiger and ten other people slowly escorting two carriages over. When the carriage stopped, Gu Chenglin and Gu Chengxi got off the carriage one after another.
âYou guys are finally back. Youâve tanned a lot and lost a lot of weight. You must have suffered a lot.â Zhou Ying greeted him with a smile.
âIâve suffered quite a bit, but itâs definitely worth it. Itâs also an eye-opener.â Gu Cheng said happily.
âIndeed, itâs really a different life. Itâs much livelier than staying in the capital. Iâve also discovered many things worth pondering over.â Gu Chenglin added.
âServant Shizhu greets Mistress.â At this moment, Shizhu carried a small bag and walked down from the carriage behind her.
Zhou Ying looked at her clumsy appearance and smiled. âAre you pregnant?â âMistress, itâs been almost five months. Oh right, there are many gifts that Master brought for you and Miss in the carriage.â
At this moment, Tiger and the others also stepped forward and pulled out a rattan box from each side of the carriage.
âHurry up and enter the residence to have a good rest. Iâll get someone to arrange a meal for you.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she walked inside with Shizhu.
Gu Chengxi and Gu Chenglin didnât stand around either. They called out to Tiger and walked in.
After the meal, Zhou Ying thought that Gu Chengxi and Gu Chenglin would rest. She did not expect them to go out to look for their teacher.
Meanwhile, she checked the things that Gu Chengrui had bought.
There was exquisite embroidery from the south, matching clothes for her and Guoguo, as well as some high-quality materials and beautiful jewelry.
There were also toys for Guoguo, such as bamboo whistles, skip ropes, and all kinds of toys.
She asked Kuihua to put it away and instructed Qiuniang to send the autumn clothes she had prepared to Gu Chenglin and the others. She then rushed to the manor to do her tasks.
On a night three days later, Zhou Ying received Gu Chengruiâs urgent call as soon as she entered the interspace.
She immediately went to the warehouse and searched through the many Mother Temples. Finally, she found Gu Chengrui brewing medicine in the kitchen of the Generalâs residence. She asked, âWhatâs the matter? Why are you looking for me so urgently?â
âBabe, hurry up and get a Tetanus shot. Zhou Huaiming is seriously injured.â
âWait a moment.â After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she handed him the shot. Gu Chengrui received it and hid it in his sleeve. He boiled the medicine, brought it to a room, and said to the old general, âOld general, we still have to fight tomorrow. You should go and rest quickly. Leave Brother Zhou to me.â âIâll have to trouble you. If you need anything, just let me know.â Old General Zhou stood up and said. He then looked at Zhou Huaiming with reluctance and turned to leave..
