“Have I seen her before?” Zhou Ying inquired.

“I don’t believe so,” Mingyu replied. “Other than the banquets held in the Imperial Residence, she rarely attends outside events.

“You haven’t sent the gifts to the King’s residence yet, right? I can accompany you and introduce you to her. How about that?”

“Sure, let’s do it the day after tomorrow. I have to visit my hometown tomorrow,” Zhou Ying answered.

“Sounds good,” Mingyu agreed. “I’ll be returning tomorrow as well.”

They conversed for a while longer before Mingyu departed.

Zhou Ying extended her divine sense towards the Imperial Residence of King An. Guided by the conversations of others, she quickly located the young girl.

The girl was following behind a housekeeper, meticulously counting incoming and outgoing gifts.

Zhou Ying observed the girl closely. While childlike features remained on her face, she couldn’t deny the girl’s exceptional beauty.

The girl was of average height but appeared quite thin. Her figure resembled a slender bamboo pole.

However, her rosy cheeks and decent complexion suggested it was a nutritional issue.

Her clear, bright eyes seemed to hold a wisdom beyond her years. Mingyu seemed to be right; she could be a suitable candidate for Gu Chengxi’s wife. Of course, it would ultimately depend on compatibility.

Later that night, Zhou Ying informed Gu Chengrui about the girl, seeking his opinion. “What are your thoughts? Should we try to gauge Chengxi’s interest?”

“I’ll ask him tomorrow,” Gu Chengrui decided. “If he’s receptive, we can ask Mingyu to arrange a casual meeting at a restaurant or the clinic. We won’t interfere; it will be up to them to decide.”

“Understood,” Zhou Ying nodded. “We’re simply facilitating, not imposing.”

They then discussed the gifts for their hometown, which primarily included meat, fruits, vegetables, quality clothing, and pastries.

The next day, around noon, Zhou Ying went over with Guoguo.

After a friendly conversation, it was time for lunch. Following the meal, Mrs. Guo’s daughter, Gu Zixuan, arrived to help clean the dishes. Zhou Ying expressed her surprise. “Is this Zixuan? She’s grown so much! I wouldn’t have recognized her on the street.”

“It’s her,” Mrs. Guo confirmed. “She was only eight years old when you left. It’s been six years, and she’s all grown up. She’ll be of marriageable age next April. You might consider matchmaking her.”

Mrs. Liu smiled as she spoke.

“Seeing her makes me feel old,” Zhou Ying remarked jokingly.

“You don’t look old at all,” Mrs. Liu countered. “You just seem more mature.”

“Indeed,” Mrs. Guo agreed. “If I didn’t know your real age, people might think you’re twenty on the street.”

“Really?” Zhou Ying asked playfully. “Then you must promise not to reveal my age.”

“Oh, right,” Zhou Ying inquired. “How’s the renovation coming along over there?”

“The house is already repaired,” Mrs. Guo explained. “However, it’s too humid inside, so your father wants to wait until after spring next year to move in. It might be a good opportunity to celebrate us moving in with Chengye as he might manage to enter the Imperial Rankings next year.”

“Alright,” Zhou Ying responded. “If he succeeds, let’s have a big celebration.” “Definitely,” they agreed.

As Zhou Ying saw them off, Mrs. Guo seemed hesitant before finally speaking. “I hope you can help with Zixuan’s marriage. Please put in a good word for her. I’ll greatly appreciate it.”

“What kind of man are you looking for?” Zhou Ying asked.

“I’m not picky. As long as he can protect her, that’s good,” Mrs. Guo said. “A simple family background is important.”

Zhou Ying nodded. “I’ll keep an eye out,” she promised. “But you should also continue your search. We can do both.”

‘Thankyou, Madam,” Mrs. Guo expressed her gratitude.
