Shen Bin, who was standing by, felt that he had not done a good job for his wife, but he was also secretly excited. All the officials were present at the banquet, but Marquis Gu only held his daughter... This kind of favor was something that no one else could match.

Shen Qingqiu didn't stay long. No matter how tough he was, he was only a seven-year-old child, and couldn't resist his body's instinctive sleepiness. After eating for a while, he fell asleep in Gu Yong's arms, and was soon carried back to the house by Liu.
"What's going on?" Mother Chen asked while lying on the bed. "First you were confined to your room and now you're being asked to attend a party. Is there something wrong?"
Liu frowned, "He didn't say anything when he went there. He ate something and then came back."
Mother Chen raised her body again, "That Lord Gu——"
Liu made a quick gesture, "Don't say anymore." Mother Chen quickly shut up. Liu just said, "Since the nobleman didn't say it, it means he doesn't want to say it. People in the capital are complicated. Let's not get involved." Mother Chen would naturally listen to Liu on important matters. After hearing that, she lay down with difficulty.
He sighed again: "I originally thought that with this life-saving grace, I could find a good future for you and Miss Seven."
Liu smiled bitterly: "I just hope Qiu'er grows up safely." Let alone a good future, she would be grateful if Marquis Gu could forget about her completely.
It is unknown whether Marquis Gu forgot or not, but Shen Bin could not forget his concubine Liu at this moment. After accompanying Marquis Gu on a tour, he went to the room of his legal wife Song, drunkenly.
"Master..." Song came over with a bowl of sobering tea, and her trusted mother followed closely behind her to serve him.
Shen Bin drank the tea in big gulps and wiped his mouth. "It's refreshing, really refreshing!" Even now, he still had a smile on his face. Seeing him so happy, Song Shi couldn't help asking, "Master, is there any good news?"
Since she is his legitimate wife, there is nothing he cannot say. "I have been working as a local official here for more than ten years. Although my official position is not low, it is not high either. In the past, I had to bow my head and flatter others when I went out. But now, even if you are the local vassal king, you have to call me Lord Shen when you see me!" This is the first time that Shen Bin feels so proud since he was transferred here.
When Song heard him say this, as his wife, she naturally felt proud. "I think the Gu family's overwhelming power is really not a rumor." The local prince Jing Wangye is the sixth son of the late emperor. Although he is far away from the court and has little power, he is also a royal relative. How could he have taken a small official like Shen Bin seriously before? "Now that Marquis Gu lives in my Shen family, it's time for our Shen family to rise."
Shen Bin nodded, and thought about what happened today. He usually didn't care about the backyard, but he knew what was going on, so he knocked on Song's door, "Then Gu Hou really likes Qiu'er. These days, you can make arrangements to add some fabrics to Liu's room. I think Qiu'er's clothes are too plain, and she is a little thin. Children who are white and plump will be liked by bright clothes."
The smile on Song's face froze for a moment, then she said, "Master is right. In the past, we treated her like a concubine's daughter." She added, "But since the Marquis likes her, then the seventh girl naturally can't be treated like an ordinary concubine's daughter. I think we need to add more servants to serve her. Since Yuemei is gone, we need to arrange a personal maid as well?"
Shen Bin was satisfied, "I feel relieved that Madam is in charge."
Song lowered her head, hiding the gloom in her eyes.
