?Chapter 302: Chapter 301: Getting Married Chapter 302: Chapter 301: Getting Married In the evening, Chen Afu was lost in thought with her arm propped on a desk, while Mrs. Li led five maids in packing up boxes. Auntie Zeng was not here; she had been left in Dingzhou to manage the Fuyunlai Shop with Zeng Shuang from now on.
At this time, Mrs. Jiang came in. Chen Afu immediately got up to offer her a seat and personally served her tea. The servants knew that the mother-daughter duo wanted to have a heart-to-heart chat, so they all quietly left the room.
Mrs. Jiang began with a few formalities, such as after marrying into a new family a wife should respect her husband, show filial piety to her in-laws, produce offspring for the husband’s family, and so on. Then, with a blushing face, she handed a book to Chen Afu and told her to read it carefully.

Upon receiving the incense, Mrs. Jiang was so thrilled that she couldn’t help herself. She had heard that this type of incense was produced by Master Wu Zhi, and that Mrs. Chu, after great difficulty, had obtained a piece but didn’t have the heart to use it. Instead, she had presented it to the Empress Dowager. It was said that only the Emperor, along with Prince An and Duke Chen, who had good relations with Master Wu Zhi, had received a piece…
She had done the right thing by befriending Chen Afu. Not only had she won her husband’s affection, established relations with the Chu family, but she had also received such a precious item.
