After washing up, Zhou Ying went to the side room and asked Mingyu, “Why are you free to come and play today?”

“I wish, but I’m looking for you to go shopping with me today. I need to help my eldest uncle prepare a few sets of jewelry as betrothal gifts.” Mingyu replied.

“So it’s finally decided? Is it that Miss Xie?”

“Yes, it’s settled after all parties are satisfied.”

“That’s good. That girl doesn’t seem to talk much and is generous in her ways. You guys should get along.”

“It’s not bad, but from what I heard, they’ll still have to return to the border after they get married. I don’t think they’ll have many opportunities to get along.”

“Back to the border? Isn’t the Northern Continent already a vassal kingdom? There shouldn’t be a need for Brother Zhou to guard it.”

“It is likely they will only partially retreat the troops. I’m not sure about the specifics.”

“I see. We likely have to see their attitude before we retreat our troops.” Zhou Ying said. “We’re about to have lunch; let’s eat together.”

“You guys eat. We came over after eating.” Mingyu shook his head.

“Guoguo, go eat dinner,” Zhou Ying said.

“Mommy, I’ve eaten. You guys eat.”

“Alright, you take Zhuangzhuang along and have fun. I’m going to have lunch.”

After lunch, Gu Chengrui went to the clinic first, followed by Zhou Ying and Mingyu going shopping.

As for Guoguo and Zhuangzhuang, they were left in the manor with their nannies.

Zhou Ying and Mingyu first went to a cloth shop and ordered two sets of spring clothes each.

At the same time, Zhou Ying also sent someone to a manor to order two sets of spring clothes for the servants before going to Cuiwei Restaurant.

“This lowly one greets Princess Mingyu, Marquis Madam An Le.” When the manager saw them enter, he immediately approached them with a smile.

“Manager Miao, you’re too polite. Did you release a new set of jewelry this year?” Mingyu replied.

“Yes, but do you want gold or jade?”

“Show us everything except the silver ones.”

“Alright, please follow me upstairs. Let’s talk in a private room.” After the manager finished speaking, he brought them upstairs.

Princess Jiarou, who was strolling by the side, looked at the backs of the two people and thought of the Grand Empress Dowager’s words. Her eyes flashed, and after buying some jewelry she liked, she left with her maidservants.

On the other end, Mingyu and Zhou Ying picked out a set of gold jewelry and a set of pink jade jewelry from here. The two of them then went to other shops to pick out a total of six sets before stopping.

When the two passed by Grassland Taste Restaurant, they went inside for a simple meal before rushing back.

Just as they were about to return to the residence, Zhou Ying felt someone was following them. She immediately spread out her divine sense to search the nearby area.

Sure enough, he found a person dressed like a farmer hiding around the corner.

“What’s wrong? Why did you stop at the gates?” Mingyu looked at her.

“Nothing, I just suddenly remembered something. Let’s go to the restaurant another day and talk more.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she walked into the residence with her.

However, she didn’t retract her divine sense. She wanted to see what that person was up to.

Soon, that person left and went to a small courtyard to change his clothes before hurriedly returning to the official station.

Zhou Ying looked at the Western Continent’s clothes on him and was a little confused. She did not understand why he would follow her.

However, she soon got the answer.

That person looked for Princess Jiarou and reported, “Princess, they visited a few jewelry shops. After that, they went back to Marquis An Le’s residence.”

“In that case, since Princess Mingyu didn’t go home directly, then let’s start with her.”

“Princess, you can’t. You can’t succeed by murdering in broad daylight.

“Besides, she has guards by her side. Even if we succeed, we won’t be able to escape..”
