When Mrs. Liu overheard their conversation, thoughts of her own daughter surfaced. Still stuck in their hometown, she wondered if the girl would ever make it to the capital.

Fortunately, Hu Chun seemed reliable and ambitious, a relief that prevented her from future regret.

Gu Zixuan’s potential marriage advancement also brought joy to Mrs. Liu. Having family in the capital would offer them support if her son chose to remain there.

That night, Gu Chengrui replied, “Chengxi agrees to meet them. If they find compatibility, engagement follows.”

“Understood. I’ll gather more information tomorrow.”

Zhou Ying was surprised to see the young lady blush upon hearing her identity before she could say anything.

Witnessing this, Zhou Ying knew things were settled.

Mingyu approached them after finishing her stuff. “How is my stepsister doing?”

“She seems well. How old is she?” Zhou Ying asked.

“Eighteen next January first.”

“Still young,”

“Not young anymore,” Mingyu countered. “Many in the capital marry after reaching adulthood, unlike me.”

“Women ideally shouldn’t have children before eighteen. It could affect their health,” Zhou Ying advised.

Mingyu paused, then understood the implication. “I guess we can have them wait two years before having children.”

“True,” Zhou Ying confirmed before accompanying Mingyu to see Elderly Consort An.

Following the greetings, Zhou Ying noticed an unusual flush on the consort’s face. “Are you feeling unwell again?”

“A slight discomfort,” the consort acknowledged. “It feels like a blanket is wrapped around my head, quite unpleasant.”

“I’ve already sent someone for medicine. It should arrive soon. Please, do sit,” Elderly Consort An gestured.

“Imperial Grandmother, did you indulge in pork again?” Mingyu rushed to support her.

“Impertinent girl! Since I know how delicious beef and mutton can be, I have sworn off pork,” Elderly Consort An huffed with a playful frown.

However, her eyes flickered. The braised pork with preserved vegetables had indeed been irresistible, leading her to have two extra bites.

Zhou Ying observed this secretly, confirming her suspicions about the consort’s indulgence. To avoid further embarrassment, she suggested, “This ailment requires consistent medication. If it worsens, it may even trigger without having pork.”

“So, she can never be free of these medicines?” Mingyu questioned in surprise.

“Basically,” Zhou Ying nodded solemnly. “Unless, of course, Elderly Consort An chooses a life of daily farm work, four-hour exercise sessions, and strict vegetarianism.”

Elderly Consort An vehemently shook her head. “No, no. What’s the point of life without enjoying delicious food?”

The thought of giving up beef and mutton was simply unacceptable.

Seeing her grandmother’s resistance, Mingyu offered, “I’ll manage feeding her the medicines moving forward.”

“You’re far too busy, my dear,” Elderly Consort An objected. “Besides, I have household staff to handle such matters. Just remind them.”

As Elderly Consort An spoke, she remembered Zhou Ying’s previous message and shot Mingyu a knowing look.

“Zhou Ying previously met with my stepsister,” Mingyu acknowledged.

“And what are your thoughts, Zhou Ying?” Elderly Consort An inquired.

“The young lady seems well, but is she aware of Chengxi’s specific situation? Is she willing to marry into the family?” Zhou Ying pressed, wanting to ensure clarity to avoid future complications.

“No need for concern. They’ve actually met previously,” Elderly Consort An revealed with a smile. “Your cousin simply might not be aware.”

Intrigued, Zhou Ying asked, “Oh? Do tell me more about this..”
