The couple then sent someone to exchange two hundred thousand taels of silver for smaller denominations and store them in their inters.p.a.ce. They also deposited five million taels of silver notes into the inters.p.a.ce for safekeeping. Finally, Zhou Ying took out the remaining six million taels. “You can decide how to distribute this. If there’s no other choice, you can give them to Gu Wanning. It would help ensure her comfort within the palace.”

“Should we leave something for the Zhou family?” Gu Chengrui asked.

After all, Zhou Ying was still technically the daughter of the Zhou family. By leaving, she was effectively severing a karmic tie. It was similar to the situation with the Gu family.

While he wasn’t thrilled about Mr. Gu and the others taking advantage of him, he ultimately accepted it as a consequence of inhabiting his host’s body. Providing them with a million taels of silver could be considered a form of retirement payment, definitively severing the connection.

“Let’s retrieve a hundred-year-old ginseng from the inters.p.a.ce,” Zhou Ying replied after a thoughtful pause. “Princ.i.p.al Zhou and I are only bound by blood, and Old Lady Zhou had already severed our ties. Giving him this ginseng can be seen as a symbolic severing of that blood relations.h.i.+p.”

“Sounds good,” Gu Chengrui agreed with a nod.

That night, he entered the inters.p.a.ce and located a top-grade, hundred-year- old ginseng root. He then retrieved a mahogany box and carefully packed the ginseng inside.

The next day, he instructed Niu Fugui to deliver the gift to Princ.i.p.al Zhou, who personally oversaw the exchange.

Princ.i.p.al Zhou stared at the exquisite ginseng in his hand, disbelief etched across his face. Since his daughter’s return, it had become increasingly clear that she desired to sever ties with him.

When his son-in-law launched his attack, she offered no help.

Why, then, would Zhou Ying suddenly think of sending him this precious ginseng?

“Did your mistress have any messages for me?” Princ.i.p.al Zhou questioned.

Niu Fugui was momentarily stunned. The couple hadn’t mentioned a word. However, he understood their intentions.

He then relayed, “My Marquis and Madam are planning to embark on a voyage soon. Their return date is uncertain. This ginseng is for your health. Please take care of yourself in the future.”

“Out to sea? Where to?” Princ.i.p.al Zhou inquired further.

“I’m unsure of the destination, but I’ve delivered the gift. If you’ll excuse me, I must take my leave.” With that, Niu Fugui turned and swiftly departed.

Princ.i.p.al Zhou remained bewildered, but he didn’t pursue further questions. He knew very well that pressing Niu Fugui wouldn’t yield any additional information.

Over the rest of their time, Gu Chengrui leveraged his connections to order high-quality silk, tea leaves, gla.s.sware, and porcelain, which were then s.h.i.+pped to the port.

The family then began packing their luggage in preparation for their departure. Gu Chengrui also a.s.sembled all the guards. “I believe you’re aware that my wife and I intend to set sail soon. If any of you wish to join us, go back and pack your things now. We’ll depart promptly in the morning three days from now. Those of you who choose to stay behind will be tasked with guarding the residence and a.s.sisting Chenglin in my absence.”

“Mistress, we’d like to accompany you,” Lin Yitian declared. Since joining them, his treatment has steadily improved.

Furthermore, the couple treated him with genuine sincerity, which fueled his desire to join their voyage.

“I’ll come as well. As a bachelor, I wouldn’t mind broadening my horizons by traveling with y’all,” Tiger echoed his sentiment.

Thirty additional individuals stepped forward, most having been with the couple for the past six months.

Gu Chengrui observed them and replied, “Very well then. If your families have no objections, we can explore the world together. The rest of you will remain at the residence and ensure Chenglin’s safety.”

“Marquis,” Niu Fugui hesitantly inquired, “may I accompany you as well?”
