Fu Jiujiu could feel Lu Zining's attack frequency increasing, the intervals getting shorter. This wasn't a good sign.

She dared not think about whether she would soon completely lose her mind, or whether her body would age rapidly.

No matter what the result is, it will be hard to accept.

It so happened that she was going to the Zou family's house that day, and she brought a gift. Even though the two of them said they wouldn't make a fuss, how could there be a lack of gifts?

She just happened to be going to ask Coral if she had found a way.

Today, the Zou family wasn't particularly lively, but there were still quite a few people around.

The Jiang family had also come, and Jiang Fangrui was even more mature and composed. Mrs. Jiang was still as sharp and shrewd as ever, but because of Jiang Fangrui's situation, and perhaps because of Fu Jiujiu's current status, she had become much kinder to Fu Jiujiu.

Fu Jiujiu first teased Zhou Yuansong and Hang Xueyin's children for a while. Hang Xueyin saw that she liked the children so much, she whispered, "Since you like them so much, your younger sister will soon be getting married. When will you have one of your own?"

Fu Jiujiu blushed slightly, "Big sister-in-law doesn't know, are all other children cute? I grew up in the children's nest since I was young. It took me a lot of effort to leave that group of boys from the Fu family. Let me be quiet for a few years."

Hang Xueyin chuckled softly, "That's right. You're not very old, and you have a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince. There's no need to worry too much. You're skilled in medicine, so just keep everything in mind."

"Well, I know my sister-in-law is doing this for my own good," Fu Jiaojiao said with a smile.

Ginger Fangrui also came over. Now she had two children, the second one was still a girl, but Jin Xuwu didn't say anything, and Mrs. Jin couldn't say anything even if she wanted to.

If you're not honest, I'll give the old man two beautiful concubines.

Ginger also learned.

"You're all here, why not go and see the bride!" Jiang Fangrui had returned to her previous cheerfulness.

It is sadly easy for a bad marriage to ruin a woman's life.

"Where's the bride? She's been here for a while. Besides, we've known each other for ages." Hang Xueyin said, "I was just talking to your cousin earlier, saying it would happen sooner or later. I didn't expect it to be this fast."

"I just heard from my aunt that Second Uncle will be going back to his hometown with Second Aunt?"

Hang Xueyin nodded. "That's right, my second brother and sister-in-law said so, and Mother agreed too."

"That's wonderful. I didn't expect Second Brother to be such a thoughtful and caring man. He's so good to his wife. Back then, he was just a clueless young man."

"Now regretting it?" Hanyu chuckled softly.

"Big sister-in-law, what are you saying? My A-wen also knows how to be kind." Jiang Fangrui squeezed the little one in her arms, "This child is strong and sturdy, just like big sister-in-law. He's about the same age as my younger brother who's two years older. Why don't we arrange a betrothal?"

Fujujiao thought that Hang Xinyin wouldn't be willing, but unexpectedly, Hang Xinyin didn't refuse. "I think it's a good idea too, just don't know if your little girl would like our clumsy boy."

"Sure, sure. Today is a good day. I'll go ask my cousin. If he doesn't object, then let's make it official?"

Jiang Fangru smiled and got up, surprisingly, she actually went to ask.

Hang Xueyin, however, said, "Debts must be repaid. Besides, knowing the roots and the origins and being close relatives is a good thing."

Fujuju chuckled and smiled, "Turns out this older sister-in-law knows everything."

Zou Zhongbai agreed, where was Jin Xuwen's reason to disagree? The Zou family were officials, while their family was just a merchant. This was clearly a match of higher status.

Jin Fu's smile stretched so wide that her lips seemed to touch her ears.

Jiang Fangru smiled and said, "Big cousin, thank you."

She understood that her elder cousin was only worried that she would not be well treated in the Jin family. With two daughters, if this marriage did not go through, he might be tempted to stray, and his family would be put in a difficult position.

"No need to thank me, I like Er-ya as well. When it comes to wedding arrangements for Linglong, if she is willing, we will also help find a suitable match."

"Well then, I won't be polite with you."

Ginger Fang smiled, "I have to prepare some generous gifts for my son-in-law."

Turning around, tears streamed down her face. For the children to be together like this for the rest of their lives, it was enough to make this lifetime worthwhile.

In a red dress, Coral was very beautiful. She was talking to the elders of the Zou family at this moment and soon came to the Jiang family side.

After finding out she was a medical student, everyone started looking at her with more respect. After all, getting into medical school isn't easy.

Although some are unhappy about the couple going back to her family home, no matter where they live, some people think this is a backwards step and inappropriate.

But Ginger Shuangyue and Zou Guangquan, the two of them agreed. What others said didn't matter.

Fu Jiujiu didn't want to steal the limelight, so she stayed in the corner with Tang Xian, playing with Jiang Fangrui's eldest daughter, Xiao Linglong.

Although Xiao Ling didn't remember Fu JiuJiu, she couldn't resist Fu JiuJiu's delicious food. In a short while, she became familiar with him and clung to her aunt for a hug.

"This little girl is just like she was when she was young. She always liked to be held back then." Jiang Fangru said.

Fu Jiujiu pinched Xiao Lingdang's cheeks, the little girl could already speak and ran fast, "When will you return to the capital city?"

"Almost there, I'll be back after the new year. That's about it." Jiang Fangrui looked at her mother-in-law who no longer dared to cause trouble.

Jin Xuwen also wanted to come back, but because Jiang Fangrui wouldn't let go, he didn't dare to make arrangements.

"You are all back in the capital, and even your status has changed now. We wouldn't dare to associate with you."

"How dare you say no? You and the Crown Princess are cousins, a family of sisters! What's there to be high or low about?"

Jin Fu, with a thick face, sat down and smiled ingratiatingly, "I say, why not make it a double celebration? When you have your third child, and the Crown Princess has one too, we can be in-laws again."

Ginger Fangru's face changed, "Mother, you're really daring to think like that. That's the royal family, marriage isn't something decided just by saying it, is it?"

"Why not? It's a good chance to get to know each other better."

Jiang Fangrui sneered, "Indeed, you're quite the imaginative one. The prince and princess's children would be the future crown prince and princess. The Jin family is called Jin, but there are no gold bars plastered on their faces. Whether marrying in or out, aren't you going a little mad?"

"Well… well, isn't the Crown Princess…"

"Who can compare to JiuJiu?" Jiang Fangrui frowned. "Besides, which one of JiuJiu's brothers at home is a freebie? Don't even look at whether the Jin family's ancestral graves are smoking!"

Jin Xuwen saw his mother again going to bother Fu Jiujiu, so he quickly pulled her away and then whispered instructions.

"What are you dragging me for? I'm providing a way for your future children to make a living."
