“Then I’ll trust your arrangements,” Mrs. Qin replied with a warm smile.

“Excellent,” Zhou Ying concurred with a nod. “In two days, when Chenglin has a break, I’ll ask him to bring Xiushu over to the residence to take a look. Let’s see what they think. After all, they’re the ones who’ll be living there. The final decision is ultimately up to them.”

“Oh, thank you so much,” Mrs. Qin gushed. “We can then adjust the size of the house they’ll be using and prepare the furniture accordingly.”

Consort An chuckled. “I wouldn’t be flattering you, but your Xiushu is truly fortunate to have Zhou Ying as a sister-in-law. Her future is bright.”

“My aunt is right,” echoed a young woman sitting beside Mrs. Qin. “The Marquis’ wife has considered everything so comprehensively. It’s truly Zhu’er’s blessing.”

Gu Chenglin carefully read through the agreement. As expected, the restaurant and the manor were designated as his. The ownership of the Rouge Pavilion, however, belonged to his sister.

Sun Hongliang raised his head to address Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui. “My Lord, Madam,” he inquired, “where are you planning to go that necessitates dividing your assets?”

“We intend to embark on a voyage,” Zhou Ying explained. “We’re unsure of our return date, hence the need to clearly distribute our holdings to prevent future internal conflicts arising from these assets.”

“My Lord,” Niu Fugui interjected after reading the agreement, “what about the dividends from the glass factory, rubber production, and steel mill?”

“I will entrust those to the Emperor’s care,” Gu Chengrui stated. “No one else can guarantee their safety.”

Niu Fugui and the other two men nodded in agreement. These ventures weren’t just crucial for the livelihood of the people and military affairs; their profitability was also exceptional. Only in the Emperor’s hands could they be genuinely safe.

“Are there any other questions? If not, everyone please sign the agreement with your fingerprints. Starting next month, responsibilities will be assigned according to the document.”

“What about Uncle and the others? What if...” Gu Chenglin began worriedly. He didn’t want these matters to create a rift within the Gu family. The potential losses would outweigh any gains.
