“They met at the clinic,” the elderly consort smiled and reminisced, “last autumn, after she accompanied me for a doctor’s visit.”

Zhou Ying nodded in understanding. After confirming the girl’s health, she asked, “The restaurant launched a new lobster dish before the New Year. It’s real seafood. Have you tried it?”

The consort grasped her meaning immediately. She readily agreed for the girl’s future and good food. “The restaurant representatives mentioned it during their last visit. However, we haven’t had the chance to try it.”

“Then why don’t we all go tomorrow afternoon?” Zhou Ying suggested.

“I want to come too!” Mingyu chimed in.

“Of course, you can come too,” Zhou Ying replied.

The three of them continued their chat for a while before the medicine arrived for the elderly consort. After taking it right before lunch, they gathered for a simple meal. Zhou Ying and Mingyu lingered for a while before returning home.

Zhou Ying then instructed Niu Lirong to inform Gu Chengxi at the clinic to dress formally for the next day. Additionally, she planned to visit and personally inform Mrs. Yao and Mrs. Sun.

However, the two women expressed concern upon hearing this, appearing slightly worried.

Zhou Ying, surprised at first, quickly understood their apprehension. “I’ve met her, and she’s both kind and capable. As long as you treat her with sincerity, I believe you’ll get along well.”

“There’s a significant difference in status between the two families. Will she truly not look down on us?”

“Your status isn’t inferior either. You are, after all, the Empress’s aunt,” Zhou Ying reminded them. “While your husband and brother-in-law no longer hold official positions, their lack of t.i.tles doesn’t diminish your standing. Has anyone in the capital dared to mistreat you?”

The two women exchanged glances and shook their heads. They realized that, despite their commoner status, their a.s.sociation with the Empress provided them with a certain level of prominence. Many individuals openly and discreetly sought to curry favor with them, which explained the flouris.h.i.+ng of their business.

Seeing their realization, Zhou Ying advised, “There’s no need for you to attend tomorrow’s meeting. If they hit it off, don’t delay the engagement. Start preparing for an official matchmaking proposal.”

“We understand,” Mrs. Yao nodded in agreement.

The next day, the arranged meeting went smoothly, and upon returning home, Gu Chengxi confirmed the good news. Mrs. Yao proceeded to gather necessities and visit the matchmaker to formalize the marriage proposal.

However, they decided to hold the engagement and betrothal ceremony on the 18th day of the first lunar month, coinciding with her coming-of-age ceremony.

By the end of the year, the additional income from the gla.s.sware business had pushed their annual earnings past the $2 million mark.

On the night of the imperial exams, Princess Zhi Shan delivered a daughter. As the news was announced the following day, Zhou Ying gave birth to a son in the early hours.

After breakfast, as Gu Chengrui prepared to head to the kitchen to make food for Zhou Ying, Niu Fugui burst in, exclaiming, “Master, Master! Second Master has pa.s.sed the imperial exam!”

“Oh, double the happiness! What rank did he achieve?”

“Fifty-eighth. If his performance remains consistent during the court examinations, he should be able to maintain his rank,” Niu Fugui informed him.

“Excellent timing! Can you make another trip to their home to announce the birth of our son?”

“Perfect timing, a good omen. This old servant will depart immediately!” Niu Fugui declared before rus.h.i.+ng off.

Gu Chengrui himself took charge of preparing chicken soup in the kitchen.

Zhou Ying chuckled despite the discomfort, her smile reaching her eyes.

Gu Chengrui didn’t favor sons over daughters, and he cherished having children, especially while living with the love of his life.

From that moment on, his life could be considered complete..
