“Please, everyone, rise. We’re family,” Gu Chengrui greeted, helping them up.

Settled, they placed the wine on the table. Zhou Ying excused herself. “I’ll help in the kitchen; we’ll have dinner tonight.”

“May I join you, sister-in-law?” Mrs. Bai offered.

“Absolutely! Let’s see what everyone wants to eat. Tonight’s a celebration,” Zhou Ying replied, leading her to the kitchen.

As they entered, Zhou Ying spotted Gu Chenglin and a few children enjoying a plate of meatballs.

“It looks like someone’s getting a head start,” she said with a chuckle. “Don’t spoil your appetites for dinner, though.”

“We won’t, sister-in-law,” Gu Chenglin promised sheepishly.

“Alright, what are your wishes for tonight’s feast?” Zhou Ying asked, offering them a chance to choose dishes.

“Squirrel Mandarin Fish!” Gu Chenglin blurted out.

“Big lobster,” Guoguo chimed in.

“We’re out of lobster, but how about abalone vermicelli?”

“Sounds good,” Guoguo agreed.

She turned to Chenchen. “Anything you’d like in particular?”

“Meat! Meat!” Chenchen declared.

“Plenty of meat it is!” Zhou Ying confirmed. Then, noticing the shy trio from Gu Chengsi’s family, she added, “Gu Chenglin, remember to offer them some water after they finish their snacks.”

With that, she led Mrs. Bai into the kitchen, where conversation flowed as they prepared the meal.

Zhou Ying learned about Gu Chengsi’s progress. He had diligently followed Gu Chengrui’s advice, focusing on seed production, particularly wheat. Now, several northern provinces rely on his seeds.

He’d also established a successful vermicelli workshop.

While his political achievements were modest, his work had significantly improved the lives of the county’s residents, earning him the respect of the locals.

When the conversation turned to the chamber maid’s situation, Zhou Ying saw Mrs. Bai’s resentment simmering.

Empathy clouded Zhou Ying’s response—she understood the frustration, but offering solutions in this feudal society proved difficult.

After Mrs. Bai vented, she inquired about Zhou Ying’s youthful appearance. “Sister-in-law, how do you stay so young? I’m two years younger, but I look ten years older!”

“A good outlook helps,” Zhou Ying replied vaguely, “along with proper nutrition and skincare. Our skin needs extra care at our age. I can give you a skincare set—it’ll work wonders.”

Mrs. Bai understood that Zhou Ying was suggesting a positive attitude and financial investment, both of which Mrs. Bai wasn’t readily willing to embrace.

Sensing this, Zhou Ying simply put on a pot of white fungus lotus seed soup and continued preparing the feast.

Meanwhile, Gu Chengrui and Gu Chengsi discussed the vermicelli workshop on their end. “Do you have the confidence to get a promotion?”
