"The grudges are over. I will be your loyal servant in the future, but I do want to ask you for permission to marry someone." Gu Zheng's face flushed crimson by the end of his sentence.
"Who is it?" Zhou Ying inquired curiously.
"It's the manager of the rouge workshop in the capital, Sun Rusu," Gu Zheng replied.
Zhou Ying was momentarily stunned. Despite Sun Rusu's youth, she was a widow. She then asked, "Do you know her past?"
"I do. She was not valued by her family when she was young. After her marriage of convenience failed, she was sold by her in-laws."
Zhou Ying nodded and said, "Then you should ask her own opinion. If she agrees, the two of you can come together and tell me."
"Thank you, Mistress, for your help." Gu Zheng replied.
On the afternoon of the 30th, Gu Zheng and Sun Rusu came together.
