Gu Wanning shook her head. “Since we’ve moved in, we’ve always treated you as family. You can make the arrangements. We have no objections.”
“Yes, yes, you guys can make the arrangements.” Gu Chenglin echoed.
The destruction of the Yang Residence made him clearly realize the importance of Gu Chengrui and his wife to them.
If they hadn’t been helping them all along, even if they had broken off their ties with the Yang family, their fate wouldn’t have been any better than Yang Chengsen’s.
At the very least, Yang Chenglin would be implicated and never be able to participate in the imperial examination again.

Yang Chenglin was surprised by that offer. He glanced at the list and picked out a jade pendant, an inkstone, and a painting.
Gu Chengrui nodded. After picking out a wooden eagle ornament, he returned it to Zhou Ying. “Alright, I’ve gathered all 66 sets of dowry for Wanning.
“The rest would be left for Chenglin when he marries. If there’s any extra, it’s fine too.”
“Alright.” Zhou Ying took it and looked at Mrs. Sun. “Mrs. Sun, please help me out here. This is my first time preparing a dowry, so I’m afraid I’ll make a mistake.”
“Yes, Madam.” Mrs. Sun immediately nodded.
At the same time, she was very impressed with the couple. They returned a huge amount of betrothal gifts without blinking. It was rare to meet such selfless people.
In the afternoon, before the betrothal gifts were stored in the warehouse, Zhou Ying and Mrs. Sun brought some people and changed the 30 boxes of betrothal gifts into 25 sets of dowry, excluding the food and the ones picked out.
In addition to the 40 boxes of dowry they had prepared previously, they sealed the 66 boxes and got them ready for transportation.
In the evening, Zhou Ying and Gu Chengrui discussed for a while and decided to personally gift six sets of dowry to Gu Wanning.
Two pounds of bird’s nest, a hundred-year-old ginseng, some cloth, a tea set, a box of pearls, and a full set of soap and rouge powder that Gu Chengrui had personally made.
Although they did not spend a tael of silver, these items cost at least ten thousand taels of silver.
They did not expect that on the morning before the wedding, the Liu and Yao Families, who had not shown their faces all this time, would come and send two sets of dowry each.
When Zhou Ying found out they were Mrs. Yao’s and Mrs. Liu’s sisters-in-law, she immediately invited them in and said, “Aunties, please take a seat. What tea do you like?”
“Anything is fine. We’re not picky.” Aunt Yao replied.
Zhou Ying sized up the two of them. Seeing that they looked pale and thin, she knew their lives were not good.

“Thank you.” The two of them took the tea and thanked Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying saw they were a little uneasy, so she asked, “Aunties, how are your families?”
“It’s alright, neither good nor bad.” Aunt Liu replied.
“Although we were implicated in the beginning, we’re fine now. Moreover, we’ve benefited a lot from you guys returning.” Aunt Yao smiled and replied.
“Is it because the Gu Family was exiled back then?”
“Yes, but it’s only for a period of time.”
The two women explained the situation at home in detail.
Zhou Ying also learned that the two families were actually affiliated with the Gu family back then.
With the fall of the Gu family, the lives of the two families were naturally affected for the worse. However, the Yao Family’s son, who was an official in the court, was timid and cautious. After being demoted by two grades, he was untouched overall.
Now, because of Gu Chengrui’s arrival, he was restored to his original position and became a fourth-grade official in the Ministry of Rites..
