Yue Niang opened the wooden box and found a small and exquisite golden lock inside. She said "that's thoughtful" and took it in her hand to look at it.

On the small lock, which is only an inch in size, are engraved the words "Long Life and a Hundred Years"; on the other side, it is engraved with "Good Fortune, Longevity and Health" and decorated with patterns of the eight auspicious treasures, which is very exquisite.

"This little lock of yours is so exquisite that I want to keep it from him. When he grows up, I will tell him that this is our family heirloom and will be given to my grandson. Otherwise, when I have a grandson in the future, I won't be able to give him such an exquisite thing and will be outdone by you."

Du Wenxiu teased, making Yue Niang laugh so hard that she fell backwards, pointing at her and unable to speak.

After a while, Yue Niang calmed down and said angrily, "When did you become so superficial? If you like it, next time I go to the capital, I will buy you a big one. Don't be jealous of my son's. It will make people laugh at you."

As he said this, he snatched the longevity lock from her hand, stood up, opened the door, and went to look for Haisheng.

Du Wenxiu smiled, straightened her clothes, and followed her out with Chi Linghua.

Although there is no definite news about Lu Fanghai yet, I have finally put my mind at ease and I may be able to sleep peacefully from now on.

After teasing Haisheng for a while, he talked to Yue Niang about the things in the workshop, especially about how Li the accountant was chased away a few days ago.

"You can decide on your own about this matter. Why bother telling me about it?" Yue Niang was just busy playing with the child and didn't take it very seriously.

Du Wenxiu smiled and said, "Even if you don't want to listen, I have to tell you anyway, lest one day you find out that all the people in the workshop are mine, and then you suspect that I have sidelined you and come to fight me. You are so fierce, I can't beat you."

These words made Yue Niang really want to hit her.

"You are always talking nonsense. If you are well, you can take care of the workshop and not let me worry about it. That would be a help to me."

"What's going on? Is there any new progress in the Chi family's pickle selling business?" Du Wenxiu was alert and sensed a different meaning from her words.

Yue Niang nodded, and after a moment's silence, she said, "Young Master's uncle's old friend was originally an imperial merchant. He was also affected by the change of the old and new thrones, and many of his businesses were taken over by newcomers."

"When we returned, we brought some of our pickles as a gift. After tasting them, he praised them highly and even thought of sending our pickles to the palace."

"Oh my." A Luo couldn't help but scream. When everyone looked at him, he realized that he had lost his composure and muttered, "Can our pickles be given to the emperor?"

Yue Niang burst out laughing and said, "The emperor is also a human being, so he can eat our pickles."

Ah Luo also lowered his head and smiled, "I mean, our pickles can also be sent to the emperor's table. This is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. I would never have dared to dream of it in the past."

Looking at Yue Niang and Chi Linghua with unfathomable smiles on their faces, Du Wenxiu thought more.

Although the fight for the crown prince position has nothing to do with ordinary people, according to Chi Linghua, his family has already been involved.

Otherwise, Wang Dongchang would not have visited him so many times.

In this case, why not find a way to send our own products to the palace to see if it can have any effect? ​​It would be good to bury a flag first.

Seeing her silent and thoughtful, Yue Niang and Chi Linghua looked at each other imperceptibly, and both had plans in their minds.

——"My Xiuniang is not a mediocre person."

So Yue Niang just raised this possibility, and Du Wenxiu was able to immediately start to make associations and lay out what happened next.

"Nothing is impossible. Everyone needs to eat. Our pickles taste good, so they can be served on the emperor's table. A Luo, don't underestimate yourself. We got all these by our own ability."

"Is this...has this matter been settled?" Du Wenxiu asked, listening carefully.

"It's already about 70% accurate." Yue Niang said readily.

Du Wenxiu looked at Chi Linghua again: "What about the young master's future arrangements..."

Chi Linghua nodded and said, "I will board the ship tomorrow to travel far away. From now on, Yue Niang will stay in Donghua County. Madam Du, please take good care of her."

Several people couldn't help laughing and looked at Yue Niang whose face turned red instantly.

"You mention these children...it's still unclear who will take care of whom."

Du Wenchan couldn't help but burst out laughing. It was very rare to see Yue Niang acting like such a little girl.

However, it can be seen from these that the two get along very harmoniously. It is possible that after the matter is over, Yue Niang will naturally have a happy marriage.

"Don't worry, we will never treat her unfairly." Du Wenxiu said generously.

Yue Niang lowered her head shyly, revealing her snow-white neck covered with a layer of powder.

"Are you getting along well with the people in the Chi family?" Du Wenxiu gently poked Yue Niang.

Yue Niang pursed her lips, and seeing that she didn't seem to be teasing, she lowered her voice and said:

"His grandmother likes me very much, and his mother is also very kind and amiable. As for the rest of the people, it's enough if they are just okay on the surface."

"Do they know who you are..." Du Wenxiu asked.

After hearing this, Yue Niang looked a little worried. She pulled her, and the two of them put their heads together.

"Because the matter is confidential, his family doesn't know that our marriage is fake. It's inevitable that we sleep in the same room at Chi's house..."

Du Wenxiu glanced at Chi Linghua, who was sitting quietly beside him drinking tea, and understood.

If the situation continues to develop as it is now, I am afraid that Yue Niang may really become a wife of the Chi family in the future...

It was the fact that Yue Niang couldn't have children.

Chi Linghua was not worried, so why would he want to do so much?

As they chatted, it was already midnight. Yue Niang wanted to stay, but Chi Linghua was leaving the next day, so she didn't want to make it too conspicuous. She had to say goodbye reluctantly and follow him back.

In the evening, Du Wenxiu thought about what Chi Linghua said and felt that something was not right.

Why did Empress Dowager Rong only summon Lu Fanghai, and after the fire, when his body was not found, the emperor did not suspect anything?

Moreover, the situation was too vague. The Emperor was targeting the King of England, and he didn't want to sit and wait for death. So how should he respond?

Of course, even if there was, I couldn't tell it to myself.

So what role did Lu Fanghai play in this?

And he is faking his death now, so what about the future?

Are you going to never show up in public again?

Du Wenxiu couldn't figure out anything and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

In a trance, she seemed to hear Lu Fanghai's voice whispering in her ear: "Xiuniang, don't worry, wait for me, I will be back."

Du Wenxiu woke up with a start and opened her eyes, all she saw was the murmuring child and the silent, dark night.

The next morning, after seeing Chi Linghua off, Yue Niang finally had time to inspect Wenyuefang accompanied by Du Wenxiu and her sister.

Seeing the women in the workshop working very hard, there was a bustling atmosphere in the courtyard, and in front of Cheng Suying's pharmacy, there was a constant stream of people.

"It seems that you have really put in a lot of effort. I am very pleased." Yue Niang nodded, pointed inside the workshop and smiled at Du Wenxiu.

"There is one more thing. If you knew it, you would probably praise me for being good at business." Du Wenxiu pulled Yue Niang and pushed her into a warehouse.
