The old princess asked Sang Zhi to take Fu Yunke down to play, and then smiled at Gu Zhiyin: "Your father came to me last night and told me that this time it was all your credit, so half of the silver earned belongs to you, and the gold and the garden awarded by the Queen Mother are also given to you. The Queen Mother loves you, and I think she will be happy to see it happen."

Gu Zhiyin was stunned when she heard this: "Grandma, how can this be possible? I can't accept this."

She regarded the Fu family as her support and was closer to her than the Gu family. She did all these sincerely for the good of the Fu family and never thought of taking it for herself.

Seeing her surprise, the old princess smiled and patted her hands, saying, "Good child, grandma knows that you are devoted to this family, so grandma will not be shy with you, so don't refuse."

Gu Zhiyin looked at the sincere love in the old princess' eyes, pursed her lips and smiled lightly: "Thank you, grandma."

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's grandma who should be thanking you. The greatest blessing for the Fu family is marrying you home, and the most correct decision is to let you be the head of the family. You will have to work hard in the future, and grandma will enjoy her life in peace." The old princess said with a smile on her face.

As she was talking, Mother Yang lifted the curtain and came in. She bowed to the old princess and then said to Gu Zhiyin, "Princess, the princess said that when you are free, go to the main courtyard to find her and discuss the menu for the New Year's Eve dinner with you."

Gu Zhiyin nodded: "Okay."

"Go ahead." The old princess said, "It's been very cold these past two days, don't catch a cold."

Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyin stood up and replied, "Yes, Grandma."

Then he left Chaohui Hall with Mother Yang and went to the main courtyard.

Fu Yunyao was also there. The yard was filled with laughter, and several little maids were happily pasting window flowers.

Gu Zhiyin looked at the joyful atmosphere in front of him, and his heart was filled with warmth.

Since her mother passed away, she has never felt the joy of family reunion during the Chinese New Year again.

Although her father was not a selfish and cold-hearted person, he did not have much patience for his daughter. However, as the eldest daughter of the Gu family, the Gu family members did not dare to do anything to her secretly. Even if the concubines in the mansion were jealous, they would not reach out to her. After all, she was a daughter and posed no threat.

In the first few years after Jiang came into the family, she treated him well and at least did what a stepmother should do.

However, after Gu Jinse was born and grew up, and she never gave birth to any children, she finally became displeased with her. On the surface, she still maintained her image as a gentle and kind stepmother, but secretly she gradually treated her harshly.

She resisted and complained, but her father didn't believe her and instead blamed her for being disrespectful to her mother.

After suffering so many losses, she learned her lesson and became cautious and taciturn in front of Jiang.

Jiang thought she had her under control, so she restrained herself a lot.

"Meet the Princess."

The greeting sounded in his ears, pulling Gu Zhiyin back to his senses.

She smiled and nodded, then walked into the house.

Wen and Fu Yunyao had already decided on the menu, and they just asked her to come and take a closer look to see if there was anything wrong.

As night fell, the entire palace was alight with candles. The kitchen was bustling with activity, with servants coming in and out. Although it was busy, it was not chaotic.

One after another, exquisite dishes were brought to the main hall in the front yard and filled a large round table made of huanghuali wood.

The old princess sat in the main seat in the middle, with Fu Zheng and Wen sitting on either side of her.

Fu Yunjing sat next to Fu Zheng, and the family of seven sat around the round table.

The old princess glanced at everyone's faces one by one, her eyes filled with an unconcealable smile of joy.
