“Don’t even mention it,” Gu Ziyi grumbled. “He’s a constable. Yesterday, some drunkards caused a scene and ended up killing someone. My husband’s been out investigating the case since yesterday afternoon. When we left this morning, he still hadn’t returned.”

“Don’t be hard on him,” Gu Chengrui consoled her. “He can’t exactly stroll around when he’s on duty. As long as he’s safe, that’s all that matters.”

“I understand that, of course,” Gu Ziyi conceded. “Otherwise, we wouldn’t have made it this far.”

Following their reunion, a steady stream of visitors arrived to pay their respects. However, the couple only entertained those they considered close acquaintances. Everyone else was politely turned away, and any gifts they offered were declined.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Chengrui accompanied Mr. Gu and Second Uncle Gu to secure a large ship for their voyage. They returned on the eighth day, and the entire group set off for the capital the following day.

Due to Gu Chengrui’s health concerns, they maintained a brisk pace, finally reaching the capital on the fifteenth.

“Uncle Niu,” Zhou Ying called out to Niu Fugui once they were settled back in. “How has the residence fared these past six months?”

“Everything’s in order,” Niu Fugui replied. He placed the twenty or so account books he’d brought with him on the desk.

“Good to hear,” Zhou Ying acknowledged. “Everything will continue as usual. Be sure to reward those who deserve it.”

“Understood,” Niu Fugui responded before turning to leave.

After he departed, Zhou Ying utilized her computer to scrutinize the accounts. Satisfied that everything was in order, she retrieved her account book. Apart from the windfall they’d recently acquired, their holdings amounted to a staggering ten million and three million taels of silver—a truly remarkable sum.

Later that night, after the children were sound asleep, Gu Chengrui and Zhou Ying entered the interspace. Zhou Ying presented the ledger to her husband. “Since we’re leaving,” she began, “we need a plan for the silver and property. What are your thoughts?”

“Technologies like glass, rubber, and bicycles,” Gu Chengrui suggested, “we can leave those to the Emperor. It doesn’t matter whether they become his personal possessions or end up in the treasury.”

“As for the rest,” he continued, “Gu Chenglin can oversee it for the time being. If we have the chance to return, it remains ours. If not, we can entrust it to the Empress for her to manage.”

“The cash can be partially exchanged and brought with us as a safety net,” Zhou Ying added. “The remaining funds, we can divide—some to the clan and some to the Emperor—to bolster the national coffers.”

“That sounds reasonable,” Gu Chengrui agreed. “Before we leave, do you think we should offer the Emperor some new technologies?”

“Perhaps we could share knowledge about engines and power generation? We’ll provide as much detail as we can manage.”

“Alright, then,” Zhou Ying declared. “Let’s split up for the next two days and finalize these arrangements as soon as possible. Time isn’t on our side.”

“I understand,” Gu Chengrui replied, pulling her into a hug. “It’s just… the thought of being apart is difficult.”

While regaining his memories had restored his core identity, he wasn’t entirely the same person. Naturally, their feelings for one another would be different.

“The feeling is mutual,” Zhou Ying admitted, returning his embrace. “Let’s make the most of our nights together from now on. Everything else can wait.”

“Agreed,” Gu Chengrui said, a smile gracing his lips. He lifted her chin and placed a gentle kiss on her forehead before carrying her back to their bedroom.

The following day, after breakfast, Gu Chengrui sought an audience with the Emperor. He presented a detailed report on everything he’d been involved in and discovered during his time away.

This even included the incident where Xiuxiu was forced to drown. He believed the scholar lacked the necessary responsibility for an official position. If the scholar hadn’t already embarked on such a career path, perhaps things could have been different.

However, given the current situation, Gu Chengrui felt the scholar couldn’t be recommended for further advancement.
