After being forced into a marriage with a wealthy family, the virtuous wife caused a huge uproar.

"Why are you back at this time?" Rong Yingluo asked in surprise.

"I've prepared a birthday gift for Madam Zhao, and I'd like you to take a look." Gu Ce was holding a brocade box in his hands.

"Let me see what this is?" Rong Yingluo took the brocade box from his hand.

Place it on the table and open it.

Inside lay an exquisite embroidered screen.

Rong Yingluo carefully picked it up and admired it.

The base is made of semi-transparent light gauze, and it features an exquisitely embroidered image of pine trees and cranes symbolizing longevity.

Two cranes danced under the pine tree, a truly beautiful sight.

"This is a good gift." Rong Yingluo admired it for a moment and put it back in the box.

"These are pieces of jewelry made based on your drawing." Gu Ce took another brocade box from Zhong Sheng and opened it.

Rong Yingluo was even more delighted, her eyes shining.

This is the first time she has drawn a complete set of jewelry designs herself, and she doesn't know how it will turn out.

"Miss, she looks so much prettier than in the picture!" Yinghong couldn't help but exclaim.

Gu Ce picked up one of the hairpins and gently inserted it into Rong Yingluo's hair.

The pendant on the hairpin is a flying fairy, her clothes fluttering.

The fairy is carrying a flower basket and scattering flowers to the human world, looking incredibly lifelike.

"It's beautiful and suits you perfectly," Gu Ce said with a smile. "The shopkeeper wanted to make other styles out of it to sell, but I refused."

"Why are you refusing? Just ask her to break up with you." Rong Yingluo looked at him with a "Are you stupid?" look.

"Zhong Sheng, go talk to the owner of Jin Yu Lou. For any jewelry made using the Flying Immortal concept, we'll give them 20% of the profits. They can make as many as they want, but they can only put it on the market a month later." Gu Ce immediately changed his mind.

"Yes, Master." Zhong Sheng immediately accepted the order and left.

"That's more like it. Only a fool wouldn't make money. I'm not so domineering as to insist on wearing a unique piece of jewelry. Sharing happiness is worse than keeping it to myself." Rong Yingluo's actions were naturally intended to build good relationships.

Later, because of Rong Yingluo's actions, jewelry with flying fairy patterns became popular in the capital for a while. During the New Year period, noble ladies were proud to wear flying fairy jewelry.

A wide variety of fairy-themed jewelry is emerging.

"As expected of a Rong family daughter, she has an innate keen sense for making money," Gu Ce praised.

"Of course, don't think that just because you're the high-ranking prime minister now, you can fool people. If one day someone takes a dislike to you and hires someone to kill you with enough money, you'll know how realistic the saying 'money can make the devil turn the millstone' really is." Although Rong Yingluo is a person outside the secular world, her understanding of money is very insightful.

"You're right, so I need to learn from my father-in-law and brother-in-law how to manage more money." Gu Ce didn't deny Rong Yingluo's point of view; she made a lot of sense.

"By the way, you spent so much effort restoring this set of silver plates to give as a gift? I just heard you say you were sending it to Liaocheng." Gu Ce looked at the table full of silver plates, which were his wife's recent masterpieces.

He had always thought that his wife intended to use it herself, but it turned out that she was going to give it away. What important person could she possibly be worth spending so much time preparing a gift for?

Although it only cost one hundred taels of silver to buy at the time, after she restored it, it was worth at least ten thousand taels of silver. Such a gift was considered very valuable, especially since it was made by her own hand, making it even more meaningful.

"I plan to give it to Young Master Qin," Rong Yingluo said indirectly. Actually, it was for her eldest sister, but it wouldn't be far off from being a gift for her brother-in-law.

"Your ex-fiancé?" Gu Ce's face turned as black as ink the moment he heard it was Young Master Qin.

"Yes." Rong Yingluo nodded.

"Dark One!" Gu Ce shouted, his anger rising rapidly.

She still had her heart set on that young master Qin.

An Yi entered from outside: "Master."

"Take these eighteen silver platters and bring them to my study," Gu Ce ordered.

"Yes." An Yi was about to take it.

As a result, Yinghong and Granny Zhu both blocked her from taking it.

Rong Yingluo found Gu Ce's behavior even more baffling.

"Hey, Gu Ce, what do you mean? This is my stuff, what right do you have to take it?" She was angry and blocked An Yi's way.

She spent so much effort preparing a wedding gift for her eldest sister, what right does Gu Ce have to take it away?

"I am your husband. You give me away to other men but not to me. I like it very much, so I want it." Gu Ce said as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"You...you can't have it." Rong Yingluo refused directly.

"Why?" Gu Ce was on the verge of exploding.

"These silver plates are a wedding gift for Young Master Qin, or rather, a gift for his bride, to prevent her from being harmed. They can detect poison." Rong Yingluo had to explain more clearly.

If Gu Ce really wanted to take it, she couldn't stop him. He had five skilled bodyguards, who were given to him by the Emperor.

Ling Feng and Ling Yun were no match for them.

"What did you say?" Gu Ce couldn't quite believe his ears.

Is her ex-fiancé getting married?

Rong Yingluo repeated it again.

"Since it's a wedding gift for him, I naturally can't accept it." Gu Ce's mood went from hell to heaven in a short time, and a smile instantly appeared on his face.

It's good that you're married; your wife won't keep thinking about that other man anymore.

"I'll add something else and send it along with these silver plates. An Yi, go to the study and bring the two ingots of Dragon Incense Ink that the Emperor bestowed upon you for the Madam." Gu Ce was very generous, bringing his most cherished ink as a gift.

Rong Yingluo felt that Gu Ce had lost his mind, so she reached out and touched his forehead: "You don't have a fever."

Gu Ce grabbed her hand: "It's all a misunderstanding."

He wouldn't admit that he was just jealous and forbade her from giving gifts to that man.

Rong Yingluo glared at her fiercely.

"When is he getting married?" Gu Ce asked, hoping that the person would get married tomorrow.

"Next March." Rong Yingluo had already received a letter from her eldest sister, and her second and third brothers were busy preparing her dowry.

The master asked the eldest sister to get married from Qingyun Temple, which shows that the master also treated the eldest sister very well.

Granny Zhu and Yinghong packed the eighteen silver platters together.

Rong Yingluo asked Zhu Mama's son, Wu Dali, to personally make a trip to Liaocheng and deliver the items to her eldest sister.

She had already written the letter and included it with her.

On October 18th, it was the 60th birthday of Madam Zhao from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion.

The Empress was the eldest daughter of the Zhao family. Although she had no children, the Emperor's love and respect for her over the years was evident to all. No matter what good things were, they would be sent to the Empress's Qiwu Palace first.

The Empress was depressed, and the Emperor would visit her whenever he had free time.

The Zhao family held a high position in the capital.

The Emperor's father-in-law, Lord Zhao, was sixty-three years old and still served as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy.

The Empress's two younger brothers also held important positions, all thanks to the Emperor's favor.

Today, Rong Yingluo attended the event as the female representative of the Gu family, accompanied by the Gu family's daughters: Gu Qingyin, the eldest daughter of a concubine, and Gu Qingling, the third daughter.

Gu Qingwan from the second wife's family also wanted to go, but she was feeling unwell and couldn't go out.

Gu Ce returned from the morning court session and happened to be there with him.

He was waiting on horseback beside the carriage at that moment.

Now, when Rong Yingluo goes out, she basically doesn't use the Gu family's carriages and drivers, but only the carriage that Yuwen Zhang gave her, with Wu Guishan, the driver, whom she brought from her own family.

"Sister-in-law, do you think this outfit is appropriate?" This was the first time Gu Qingling had dressed so formally, and she was going to the Imperial Tutor's residence, so she was worried about being impolite.

"It's very nice. You haven't reached the age of marriage yet, so elaborate jewelry doesn't suit you. This necklace is the highlight of your outfit," Rong Yingluo praised.

This necklace is inlaid with gold and jade, with a longevity lock below it, and the lock is also made of gold tassels, which is very exquisite.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, why didn't you take us with you?" At this moment, two people ran out of the gate, panting heavily, one of them with a limp.
