"But the shop opened by Madam Gu has solved all the problems. There are so many profitable businesses to do, why did she choose these troublesome ones? Moreover, the money earned by these shops is not as much as other businesses. But Madam Gu still does these things. Isn't her contribution to the people of Daxi not great enough?"

　　"If you think it's not big enough, why don't you think about what you have done for the people of Daxi?" Lin Zhengyu asked a soul-searching question.

　　Wen Ruoying: "..."

　　Does Lin Zhengyu have any problem with her?

　　Why are you speaking so pointedly?

　　"I heard that General Gu's family was just an ordinary farmer in the beginning. They even lived in poverty because they lived near the border. General Gu was away from home because of his military service. It was Madam Gu's business that made the Gu family's life better and better. It was Madam Gu who was able to support the children's education. It was also Madam Gu who insisted that her niece and nephew go to school together."

　　"What's there to laugh at if you start a business just to make your family's life better?" Lin Zhengyu said.

　　Wen Ruoying: "..."

　　She shouldn't have discussed Li Mumu's affairs with Lin Zhengyu.

　　Judging from Lin Zhengyu's reaction, she clearly admires Li Mumu a little.

　　If anyone says something bad about Li Mumu, she has a lot to refute.

　　"I really admire women like Madam Gu who have achieved success step by step on their own." As expected, Lin Zhengyu said with admiration, "Madam Gu's achievements are beyond the reach of many men. If she were not constrained by her status as a woman, I think Madam Gu would have achieved even greater things."

　　"But I heard that Madam Gu, the Crown Princess, Madam Shang, and Madam Zuo in Chong'an are trying their best to improve the status of women." Lin Zhengyu's eyes lit up when she mentioned this. "They hope that women can get rid of the shackles that bind us now, and be able to do what men do without being looked at strangely by the world."

　　"Women are no less capable than men in many aspects. Women can do anything men can do," said Lin Zhengyu. "Even the opening of the Forget-Your-Sorrow Rest Restaurant is to allow women to eat in the restaurant openly and without restraint."

　　"The Crown Princess and Madam Gu once said that raising the status of women and improving their living environment cannot be achieved overnight," Lin Zhengyu said, "but they can work hard to lay a good foundation and make some improvements."

　　"There will definitely be someone willing to be with her

　　We work hard together, and when they are gone, there will definitely be people willing to take over their will and continue the work."

　　"Unlike those who only express their desire to break free from constraints and act like men in their writings and poems, but actually do nothing, the Crown Princess and Madam Gu are truly taking action."

　　"What the Crown Princess and Madam Gu have been doing is also affecting more people." Lin Zhengyu became more and more excited as she spoke.

　　But Wen Ruoying felt that Lin Zhengyu's previous sentence was clearly a mockery of her.

　　Wen Ruoying's face completely darkened. Lin Zhengyu smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I lost control and said too much. I think Miss Wen is annoyed."

　　Wen Ruoying kept smiling but did not deny it, letting Lin Zhengyu experience it herself.

　　Lin Zhengyu added: "I really hope I can have the chance to meet Madam Gu."

　　Wen Ruoying no longer wanted to talk.

　　Originally, he wanted to pull Lin Zhengyu aside to talk about the gossip that Li Mumu was suspected to be possessed by an evil spirit, which might cast a shadow on Li Zhiyin's wedding.

　　Unexpectedly, it was discovered that Lin Zhengyu was a hidden admirer of Li Mumu.

　　Mrs. Wen couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she warned Wen Ruoying in a low voice, "Don't cause trouble in an occasion like this today!"

　　"Mom, I didn't do it." Wen Ruoying cried out in injustice in a low voice.

　　"Do you think I can't see what you're thinking?" Madam Wen whispered, "It's a pity that Lin Zhengyu didn't follow your words. Your little trick didn't work, and instead you got criticized by Lin Zhengyu."

　　"I don't care how dissatisfied you are in your heart, just keep your mouth shut!" Mrs. Wen was so angry.

　　Even a fool could not see through Wen Ruoying's little thoughts.

　　It also gave Lin Zhengyu the opportunity to criticize her for not managing the household properly and to criticize Wen Ruoying for seeking fame and reputation.

　　But these are all the things Wen Ruoying herself used to criticize others.

　　Lin Zhengyu is not well-known in daily life, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful.

　　Mr. Lin really gave birth to a good daughter.

　　"You have really been blinded by the false reputation of the past. Those people in the past gave you some praise because of your family background, which made you realize that your cleverness was really shallow." Mrs. Wen said angrily.

　　Wen Ruoying was about to cry out of grievance, "Mom, why do you say that to me?"

　　"I only regret not telling you this earlier. You thought everyone else was a fool, not realizing you were the fool. Your thoughts are written all over your face and are obvious to everyone." Mrs. Wen whispered, "If you feel embarrassed by what I said, just keep your mouth shut. If you are not smart, then don't talk too much!"

　　Wen Ruoying's face turned red after hearing what Mrs. Wen said.

　　She didn't know whether Mrs. Wen said such words because she was angry about what happened just now, or whether she really thought she was stupid.

　　The banquet in the East Palace ended and Li Mumu was a little tipsy.

　　This was because many ladies and young ladies came to the banquet to get to know her, drink and chat.

　　Li Mumu knew that this was because Li Zhiyin became the Crown Princess.

　　As the Crown Princess's best friend, Li Mumu's status has also risen with the tide.

　　Although Li Mumu did not refuse people who came up to her at this time, the attitude she showed was just right. She was not very enthusiastic, and she did not intend to make close friends with them.

　　When I was unknown, I made true friends.

　　Everyone is coming here now just because they see profit to be made.

　　Li Mumu took Gu Mian and finally finished the polite conversation. After getting rid of everyone, they came out of the hall and saw Gu Shangqing who had been waiting there for who knows how long at the bottom of the stairs.

　　When Li Mumu saw him, she couldn't hide her surprise.

　　Gu Shangqing also walked up the stairs.

　　Someone saw this and said, "General Gu and Madam Gu have a really good relationship."

　　Li Mumu smiled and waited for Gu Shangqing to reach the last step. She asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

　　"I changed shifts half an hour ago, so I stayed at the front seat for a while. When it was about time, I came to pick you up." Gu Shangqing explained with a smile.

　　The lights in front of the hall were bright, and the face facing Li Mumu was clear.

　　Seeing that Li Mumu's face was slightly red from drinking, he helped Li Mumu down the stairs and said, "Did you drink a lot?"

　　Li Mumu was about to answer when she saw General Shang walking towards her quickly.

　　When General Shang passed by here, he did not forget to glare at Gu Shangqing.

　　Gu Shangqing looked so innocent, and Li Mumu was also puzzled, "What happened to General Shang?"

　　General Shang asked first: "Is my wife still behind?"
