When they reached the outer perimeter of the Hall of Diligent Government, the Empress Dowager passed off Zhou Ying to King An’s Consort before separating.

When Zhou Ying followed Consort An to the main entrance, she saw Zhou Huaiming and Gu Chengrui waiting at the door.

When Zhou Huaiming and Gu Chengrui saw them, they quickly bowed to the old ladies. Seeing this, Consort An looked at Gu Chengrui and smiled. “I’ll hand over your wife to you then. Come over to our residence whenever you’re free.”

“Thank you. I’ll pay you a visit for sure.” Gu Chengrui nodded.

He pulled Zhou Ying over to his side, and the three walked into the hall.

The husband and wife followed Zhou Huaiming to sit at the Zhou family’s table.

Zhou Huaiming pushed some snacks from the table toward them and said, “Eat more. The food will get cold soon, so eat some to fill your stomach.”

“Let’s dig in.” Gu Chengrui nodded and did not hesitate. He picked up a small piece of cornbread and began munching it down.

As for Zhou Ying, she took a piece of chestnut cake.

As soon as she bit down on the cake, she felt people looking over.

She spread her spiritual senses while enjoying the snacks, listening and watching every move.

Most of them were discussing the Yang family, especially the mother and daughter scheming against Yang Wanning, and how they threw their dignity away.

Then there was the crowd’s curiosity toward the Gu couple, but not regarding why they were there.

Because the news of the sweet potato had already spread throughout the palace.

Instead, these people were curious about their relationship with the Zhou family and the Third Prince.

Especially at Principal Zhou’s, sitting not far away, Zhou Ying and her husband should been sitting at their side, but they didn’t even say a word to them after they came in.

Madam Zhou whispered to Principal Zhou. “Son, do you think we should try to repair our relationship with Zhou Ying? This could be considered paving the way for Jiaqing.”

Principal Zhou shook his head. “It’s useless. If she still thinks she’s a daughter of the Zhou family, she would have come to pay her respects long ago, but they didn’t. It’s obvious that they don’t want to interact with us.”

“That’s not up to her. She’s still part of the Zhou family.”

“Don’t do anything rash. You know better than 1 do what kind of life she had back home. If she makes a scene in public, we’ll be in trouble.

“Besides, the consort selection is about to begin. Trying to repair our relationship now is useless, so let nature take its course.”

Although Madam Zhou was still unwilling, she remembered Zhou Ying’s attitude toward her in Longevity Palace and ultimately did not say anything.

However, after listening to the whole story, Zhou Jiaqing felt very uncomfortable.

On the one hand, she balked even at asking for Zhou Ying’s help. She felt it was embarrassing to beg Zhou Ying, whom she had once bullied.

On the other hand, she hoped to get Zhou Ying’s help.

Because she knew very well that if she missed today’s consort selection banquet, she would always be inferior to her eldest sister, who had already become the fourth prince’s concubine.

Thinking of this, she hesitated momentarily before walking over and sitting beside Zhou Ying. “Second Sister, why didn’t you come back home to take a look after returning to the capital?”

Zhou Ying turned her head and looked at Zhou Jiaqing’s fake smile and scheming eyes. She was so disgusted that she almost vomited.

Zhou Jiaqing had come to beg for help but didn’t even have a trace of sincerity. It was apparent she never cared for Zhou Ying, past or present.

It just so happened that Zhou Ying did not want to interact with this “family” of hers. Thus, she sneered, “Oh, there’s no way 1 am Miss Zhou’s sister. Didn’t you say I could only serve you as a slave for the rest of my life?”

“You…” Zhou Jiaqing looked at her undisguised mockery and was so angry that she raised her hand, about to hit her.

“Do you dare to hit me?” Zhou Ying asked with a smile..
