When the thick envelope was opened, there was a stack of banknotes and a thin piece of letter paper inside.
Unfolding the letter paper, what came into view was familiar handwriting.
My sister Wan'an looks like me.
I have received your letter. Regarding this matter, I can tell you with absolute certainty that you did the right thing. That woman cannot stay. You must avoid it. It will be solved after the child is born, so as not to sow trouble for the future.
If she is a sister, she can be raised and married as she pleases.
If he is a brother, then remove the servants in the house and replace him with a new one. He will be your son. He will be born and raised, and he will be your support in the future.
Brother, I can't come to see you, but I hope my sister will take care of herself. This one thousand tael of silver is my own money. Brother, I hope you are well.
In the envelope, there are one thousand taels of silver notes.
Mrs. Yin burst into tears. She put away the letter paper and the banknotes.
She knew that this was her brother's care for her. He understood her many concerns. She made her choice and he supported her.
After putting away her things, Mrs. Yin wiped her tears and went back to bed to rest. She still had a lot of time, so of course she had to take good care of herself.

Wang Huilan returned to the courtyard and Liu Zijin was reading. He sat quietly in front of the window with only a pot of tea beside him. The maid only waited for orders outside. He never let the maid get close to serve him.
When she came back, I put down the book.
"came back."
Liu Zijin looked at Wang Huilan, stretched out his hand towards her and pointed to the seat next to him.
He turned sideways and poured a cup of warm tea for Wang Huilan.
He handed it to her: "Drink water first."
Wang Huilan looked at Liu Zijin's slender fingers and pointed. She took the tea cup and drank the tea, then held the tea cup in front of her chest with both hands, her eyes drooping.
"Huilan, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Liu Zijin looked at Wang Huilan and asked, but he still asked directly. Wang Huilan was thinking deeply, and if he didn't ask directly, she would refuse to tell.
Wang Huilan's hands holding the cup tightened, and she didn't know how to speak.
She pursed her lips, but still didn't say anything.
Liu Zijin took the cup from Wang Huilan and put it back on the table. He turned to hold her hand, squeezed her fleshy hand and said, "You don't have anything to say to me, but I do.
I want to tell you."
"Huilan, I hope you can lose weight. In three to five years, think of it as giving me a chance to give me enough time to get to know you and strengthen my heart."
Liu Zijin's voice was gentle, and he asked softly.
He looked at Wang Huilan, watching her face gradually blushing, and he said "Huh?" with an inquiring tone.
Without waiting for Wang Huilan to answer, Liu Zijin added: "Huilan, from the beginning, we were not in love with each other. We didn't understand each other at all. I didn't have any feelings for you as a man and a woman, but we became husband and wife.
We get along day and night, we are in love for a long time, we have a steady stream of water, and we have morning and evening, this is what I hope, can you promise me?"
Wang Huilan felt that her face was hot, and her heart was pounding like a deer.
Not long ago, she had already made a decision, she chose to lose weight, but now, listening to Liu Zijin's words, her heart felt as if spring was full of flowers.
Every word he said was deeply engraved in her memory.
We get along day and night, we are in love for a long time, we have a long flow of water, and we have morning and evening.
Wang Huilan's heart melted. She nodded and said in a voice thinner than a mosquito: "Yes."
She agreed.
Liu Zijin burst out laughing: "My husband couldn't hear what the lady said, so please speak louder."
The gloom in Wang Huilan's heart was swept away. She blushed with embarrassment and wanted to stay away.
But Liu Zijin grabbed her hand and leaned it against his chest. He said in a low and gentle voice: "I want to spend time with Qingqing day and night. I don't know if Qingqing is willing."
Wang Huilan felt as if her heartbeat was going to explode, and her heavy body seemed to become lighter. If she wanted to, she could easily push him away, but now, she was willing to be imprisoned.
Let him do whatever he wants.
Her face was so hot, she was pulled so close to him, their breaths were intertwined, and she felt like he could hear her heartbeat.
"Why don't you answer me, huh?"
Liu Zijin chuckled and asked her with a smile.
"Do you agree?"
When she didn't answer, he continued to ask questions.
Wang Huilan's face turned red. Under his low smile, she whispered a few words. She said, "I do."
Liu Zijin circled her and laughed.
"You, please read your book quickly, I'll go talk to my cousin."
Wang Huilan stuttered when she spoke. At this time, there were no clouds in her heart, only bright flowers in full bloom.
Liu Zijin let go of her and said softly: "Then go ahead and come back early later. I'll read a book for a while."
Wang Huilan nodded and left as if running away in his smiling eyes.
Liu Zijin watched her leave, his smile not diminishing.
As long as he knows whether she is good or not.
If she doesn't change, he will only like her more and more, and she will always know that good-looking skins are all the same, interesting souls can only be chosen from thousands, and good-looking skins are actually not important to him.
Only sincerity is the most rare and valuable thing. If you get one, you must cherish it extremely.

When Su Xiaolu and Old Man Wu returned to the yard, Su Xiaolu practiced swordplay, taking a piece of wood as a sword and letting Old Man Wu observe her sword skills.
"Master, see if I have made any progress."
After practicing a whole set of sword skills, Su Xiaolu's broken hair on his forehead was wet.
Old man Wu smiled with admiration: "Not bad, that guy Guiyou didn't hide anything."
Su Xiaolu was also happy to receive praise. She smiled and said: "Master, I can also fly needles. Just wait, I will get the needles."
She has also mastered flying needles, but she still can't do it quietly and penetrate people's bodies.
But as a hidden weapon, a surprise attack is enough.
Su Xiaolu found an apple and placed it far away. Then, holding a silver needle between her fingers, she raised her hand and the needle flew out.
She touched the needle belt at her waist, raised her hand and took another needle.
Soon, an apple was pricked into a hedgehog.
She stopped, took the apple and showed it to Old Man Wu.
Old man Wu's eyes shone: "This is amazing."
Old man Wu looked at Su Xiaolu with a hint of envy in his eyes.
Why hasn't he learned it yet?
Su Xiaolu's arrogant tail was already raised to the sky, she was happy and happy.
"Ahem, girl, each mountain is higher than the next. Don't be coquettish and continue to practice hard, you know?"
Old man Wu was overjoyed and recalled that he should be Master Yan. He coughed lightly and added seriously.
Su Xiaolu nodded with a smile: "I will follow the master's teachings. I know that I will keep everything the master said in my heart."
Looking at the energetic little girl, Old Man Wu said again: "Don't forget, you are also good at poison. This silver needle can be used to soak poison. It will be of great use when necessary."
