Gu Yingxue felt a headache coming on.
She had just convinced herself to start a business with Brother Jin, and now she's been given such a huge opportunity?
Oh my god!
Is she going to go from a lazy bum who just loafs around and waits to die to becoming the empress of a country?
This change is too big; she needs time to process it.
...
After that, Gu Yingxue became noticeably busier. She had no time to manage the Gu family's daycare, and Peng Yizhu rarely came over either. Fortunately, the apprentices they taught were quite capable and responsible, and since the daycare was located within the Gu family's premises, it didn't matter if the two of them didn't come over.
Peng Yizhu was at home helping Gu Yingxue prepare the things she was going to take with her.
She also introduced Gu Yingxue to famous historical figures like Empress Zhangsun and provided a list of books she found useful.
Gu Qingyuan also gave Gu Yingxue a book list; in fact, Gu Yingxue was going to bring several truckloads of books with her.
Meanwhile, the lives of the rest of the Gu family continued as usual.
As Gu Shisan changes little by little each day, the Mid-Autumn Festival arrives this year.
Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace holds a banquet, and this year is no exception.
Except for the fourth branch of the Gu family, everyone else in the family went to the palace.
The princes, dukes, and officials of the third rank or above in the capital also brought their families to the palace to attend this banquet.
Gu Xin disliked palace banquets, finding them particularly boring.
However, she saw Zheng Qiu's family at the palace banquet tonight. She asked Dongxue to inquire about them and found out that they had just returned yesterday to attend the banquet.
Moreover, the couple brought Zheng Wei and her child back with them this time. The reason given was that Zheng Wei missed her deceased husband and was afraid she wouldn't be able to endure living in her husband's family any longer. Besides, the title of nobility in the Prince's Mansion had inexplicably not been given to the eldest son and grandson, so they, as a widow and orphan, would probably be bullied in the Prince's Mansion.
Gu Xin understood. Had the couple finally reached a conclusion after spending several months there? Were they going to fight for their grandson?
Gu Xin almost laughed. You're worried about your grandson when it's barely enough to keep your own marquisate.
Zheng Qiu's brother's leg has been almost completely healed and he can now walk on the ground again. However, there are many people around him, so he can only practice in his room at night. His body is still a bit weak and he needs to rest.
Zheng Qiu's younger brother has been at the Royal Academy for so long that his personality has been tempered. In addition, Zheng Qiu's father and stepmother have not been around for a while, so her brother doesn't seem to hate his older brother as much as before. He has even visited him once or twice in the past few months and doesn't look down on him as much as before.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Gu Xin observed Zheng Qiu's father and stepmother's family without making a sound, and came to a conclusion: whether it was Zheng Qiu or her brothers, they all resembled their mother more than their father.
Look at their father, how fawning his smile is!
She had never seen such a fawning attitude from Zheng Qiu and his siblings.
Even if her younger brother is a complete scoundrel, he's still been raised to think he's the best in the world. He knows that if someone is of higher status than him, he just won't fawn over them. In any case, he's never groveled or flattered anyone.
As for Zheng Qiu, that was even more outrageous.
Not only did Gu Xin think this in her heart, she also had to complain to Gu Si next to her!
Gu Si had more gossip to share than Gu Xin, and she started telling Gu Xin gossip about the Zheng family.
