Mrs. Bai sighed. “The manor harvested good wheat this year. Let’s save some seeds for your sister-in-law.”

Gu Chengsi remained silent. He knew the manor was purchased with the 5,000 taels Gu Chengrui had given him.

Without that, his meager salary wouldn’t support his family.

He already owed a debt; a little more wouldn’t hurt.

He should start a business soon, or he might be strapped forever.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, the Ministry of Personnel Affairs announced Gu Chengsi’s promotion—two levels up to Zhizhou of Qianzhou.

One day, while outside making penicillin for the army, Gu Chengrui suddenly fainted. Shocked, Zhou Ying turned to Gu Chengxi upon seeing him carry his brother in. “Chengxi, what happened?”

“Sister-in-law, I don’t know,” replied Gu Chengxi with a worried frown.

“Chengrui fainted after returning from the palace today. The imperial physicians found nothing wrong, so I brought him here.”

“Let’s get him inside,” Zhou Ying instructed.

Gu Chengxi nodded and carried him in. “Don’t worry, sister-in-law. His pulse seems to be normal. The physicians suspect exhaustion. I’ll stay here and help. Let me know if anything changes.”

“Alright,” Zhou Ying agreed. “The east courtyard is prepared. Shizhu, please show him out.”

Once everyone left, Zhou Ying took Gu Chengrui to her interspace and examined him with the equipment.

Still, there were no signs of illness. “Rui, what’s wrong? Please don’t scare me!” She cried, taking his hand in hers.
