Fu Lifeng looked at Lin Zhuwei, his eyes as dark as ink, locking onto her tightly, unable to be melted.

Madam Fu was very satisfied and said with a smile, "Grandma Song, please send the new jade pillow given by the emperor to Shao Ruo in my room later."

"Yes, old lady."

"Thank you, grandma." Lin Zhuwei did not hide the joy in her eyes, and her eyes and eyebrows were bent with smile.

"Great-aunt, that jade pillow was bestowed upon you by the late emperor. Sister-in-law, you are so blessed." He Zhilan said with an envious smile.

"That's what she deserves." Old Madam Fu was in a good mood, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Lin Zhuwei became much more loving.

"Of course, sister-in-law, this is a great contribution." He Zhilan also smiled and blinked.

Lin Zhuwei accepted all the compliments, and the few of them chatted and laughed for a while before returning to their rooms.

"Xiao Yu, ask someone to check who rented the boat for Yu Shaoruo?" He Zhilan plucked a rose, picked the petals one by one, and ordered in a cold voice.

"Miss, do you have any doubts?"

"I always feel that there is something hidden here. How long has she been in Huixi City? How could she know such an important figure?"

"Yes! Miss, I'll ask someone to find out right away!"

"Young Madam! The Young Master is back!" Abu trotted in excitedly.

"He's back, so what? Do you want me to welcome him with ten miles of flowers?"

A deep voice sounded: "There's no need for ten miles of flowers, and the reception won't cost you much money, right?"

Lin Zhuwei looked up and saw Fu Junyan in white standing in front of her.

In an instant, the words suddenly emerged in Lin Zhuwei's mind: Standing like a jade tree and smiling like the bright moon in one's arms.

This guy is so beautiful that he is rare in the world.

With his figure, if he were born in modern times, wouldn't he be a demon who charmed thousands of girls?

"Wipe the saliva from the corner of your mouth."

Fu Junyan teased, feeling a little uncomfortable under her fiery gaze.

Lin Zhuwei smiled: "Are you back?"

"Yes." Fu Junyan sat down and handed her the food in his hand, "This is a famous delicacy in Beijing, try it."

Lin Zhuwei pinched a piece of cake, tasted it carefully, and couldn't help but praise: "It is indeed made by a famous chef."

Jun Yan leaned forward slightly, with stars in his eyes: "How does it taste compared to Miaomiao Food?"

"You know it all?"

"Well. Yu Shaoruo, I didn't expect that you could use your love of eating to its fullest."

It actually surprised him greatly.

I didn't expect that she would have such ability to plan and strategize. Thanks to her, the Fu family was able to avoid this disaster.

"You've just discovered my strengths now? It's a bit late." Lin Zhuwei raised his eyebrows.

"You are so good at hiding your sword, not showing your sharp edge. You are completely different from before. I really misjudged you."

Lin Zhuwei chuckled. Thinking of Yu Shaoruo's aggressive look in the past, it was no wonder that he thought so.

"Do you need me to take back the contract of Miu Miu Rabbit?"

Lin Zhuwei shook her head: "Although I don't like those two old foxes, I won't do anything to destroy the bridge after crossing it."

Then he stretched out his hand towards Fu Junyan and said, "Three thousand taels. This is the reward that others promised to pay for renting the boat."

"I'll have Shopkeeper Zhang bring it to you tomorrow."

Fu Junyan was very straightforward. Compared with the disaster that befell the Fu family, this little bit of silver was not worth mentioning at all.

"Has the person who spread the rumor been found?"

Fu Junyan's eyes were covered with a layer of coldness: "Not yet."

He clenched his fists: No matter who that person is, he will never let him go!

"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it. There will always be a time when you are exposed."

"Well. I'll go see my grandmother first." Fu Junyan said as he stood up.

"You haven't paid your respects to your grandmother yet?"

"Yeah. Let's go."

Lin Zhuwei watched him leave, feeling a little warm in her heart. She was very surprised. She didn't expect that the first person he saw when he came back would be her.

"Grandma, are you doing well lately?"

"You're finally back!" Madam Fu was delighted, but also a little scared. "When you left, the bank almost had a big mess. Did you hear about it?"

"Yes, I know everything." Fu Junyan's eyes flashed coldly and he nodded in response.

"The person behind this has ulterior motives and must not be forgiven easily! Yan'er, you must investigate thoroughly."

"Yes, don't worry, Grandma. This will never happen again."

When Mrs. Fu heard him say this, she felt relieved.

"The bank was able to escape danger this time, thanks to Shao Ruo." Old Madam Fu was very moved. "I didn't expect that she could be so resourceful and help our Fu family get through this disaster. She is also a favor to our Fu family. You must treat her well in the future."

Fu Junyan chuckled: "Yes, everything is up to grandma."

As he spoke, he winked and Wu Er quickly brought the things on the tray to Madam Fu.

"Grandmother, the Queen Mother asked about you when I came to the palace this time. This is the Rain-Predawn Longjing tea given by the Queen Mother. Please try it."

"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace. The royal family has been really kind to our Fu family."

Mrs. Fu was delighted to receive the gift.

Then he asked, "Did you bring back any news from your visit to the palace this time?"

Fu Junyan nodded: "I heard the Queen Mother mention that in the spring, a selection of beautiful women will be held to fill the emperor's harem. This time the selection will be more extensive, and all unmarried girls of age will be required to participate in the selection."

Madam Fu nodded: "The selection is related to the royal heirs, so it is indeed important. This selection may also make officials and merchants who have daughters of marriageable age interested. This is a rare opportunity."

Originally, the harem was to be selected every three years. Six years ago, because the Queen Mother was seriously ill, the Emperor had no time to deal with the selection, so the matter was delayed for six years.

Fu Junyan nodded, and he thought of someone: "I'm afraid my uncle won't let go of this opportunity easily."

Madam Fu nodded in agreement: "If He Yujiao had worked harder and that order hadn't happened, this matter would never have happened to Zhilan."

"Grandmother doesn't want Sister Lan to enter the palace?"

Madam Fu sighed slightly, "The harem is unfathomable, and the young ladies are very capable. Zhilan has been raised by my side since she was a child, and she has a pure nature. How could she use such methods? I'm afraid she will be bullied if she enters the palace. I'm afraid she will be depressed and lose her soul."

"Grandmother is right. It makes sense that I am reluctant to send her to the palace."

Fu Junyan frowned, "But uncle will definitely not give up easily. He Yujiao's matter has already made uncle lose face. If Zhilan can enter the palace, it will undoubtedly be the best choice for uncle."

"The only solution now is to find a good family to marry Zhilan off before the selection begins in the spring."

Madam Fu has made up her mind: "Yan'er, you should also pay attention to this matter and help her keep an eye out for the outstanding scholars and Hanlin disciples around her. I will talk to her when I have time."

"Okay. Grandma, don't worry." Fu Junyan replied.

Three days later, He Shengqi came to the door as expected.
