However, Xu Zhuohua was not interested in any of these things; all she wanted to do was see the new letter Xiao Wuxin had given her as soon as possible.

Xu Minghua saw through Xu Zhuohua's thoughts and said to the First Madam, "Mother, I have a rabbit figurine that I brought back from Beiping in my room. It belongs to my sister, and I want to give it to her now."

Since Xu Zhuohua got married, the First Madam's attitude towards her has improved significantly. She smiled at the two of them and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly."

Xu Zhuohua was pulled to the west courtyard by Xu Minghua.

"Everyone is in the main hall, you can look around here."

Xu Zhuohua nodded gratefully and took out the letter, which had been warmed by her body, from her sleeve.

“

Xu Zhuohua, greetings:

I am Xiao Wuxin. You may find this letter written in plain language, but it is exactly what I learned in Beiping and wanted to share. You were the first person I thought of.

In just three short months, everything had changed. I had just arrived in Beiping, without relatives or friends, and often reminisced about my time in Xinhai City. The days at the Aurora Library often appeared in my dreams.

Listening to your words, I feel a bright future ahead. You are like a confidant to me. I sincerely hope that Mu Yun will not let this cause you to have any negative thoughts.

Early winter in Beiping was even worse than the dead of winter in Xinhai. I felt extremely hungry and cold, and I had the misfortune of experiencing poverty firsthand. Fortunately, Minghua came and gave me all his money, and I had a hearty meal, which warmed my heart and hands.

Suddenly, I was shocked. It seems that my fate with you was predetermined.

My eldest brother, Xu, now lives in Beiping and takes care of me in a few ways. Minghua cares about what's going on around me, and Jixin works with me on various matters.

Our connection is deep and profound.

Therefore, Ze Peng has a matter to entrust to me.

Although Beiping appears calm on the surface, undercurrents are surging. A friend said that Nanjing has been rife with troubles lately, and Mu Yun's actions have added to the crisis, making it difficult to end.

Mu Yun is flamboyant and stubborn, and persuasion is useless. Therefore, I ask you to find Chen Hede.

The message is as follows: There is no war in Beiping, but there are many troubles in Nanjing. There is a lot of interaction between the two places, so I'm afraid they're just waiting for a rabbit to run into their trap.

Sincerely yours.

Inquire about the well-being of Zhuo Hua and Mu Yun. Inquire about the well-being of Ming Hua.

Presented by Xiao Wuxin.

"

Xu Zhuohua finished reading the letter, her heart pounding.

The Si family was in Nanjing, and the Ke family was in Beiping. The phrase "frequent exchanges between the two places" means that the Si and Ke families had already made preparations for what Cheng Muyun was doing.

Xiao Wuxin knew Cheng Muyun very well. He knew he couldn't persuade Cheng Muyun, so he asked Xu Zhuohua to go find Chen Hede.

Perhaps Chen Hede knows how to deal with Cheng Muyun.

Xu Zhuohua carefully put the envelope away. If she wanted to find Chen Hede, she could go to the French Concession Police Station or the Paramount Ballroom to find Hu Moli and Xinghua.

Now, Cheng Muyun probably wouldn't dare let her out of his sight.

Xu Zhuohua looked at Xu Minghua beside her and remembered that at the end of the letter, after Xiao Wuxin inquired about her and Cheng Muyun's well-being, he also asked Xu Minghua about them.

This made her suspicious of the relationship between Xu Minghua and Xiao Wuxin.

Xu Zhuohua raised her eyes, looked at Xu Minghua who was full of curiosity, and asked, "Don't you want to know the contents of the letter?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed in Xu Minghua's eyes, and he waved his hand, saying, "No, I don't want to. That's a letter Zepeng wrote to you."

Zepeng?

He stopped calling him "brother" and started calling him by his courtesy name, Xiao Wuxin.

Xu Minghua had received many years of Confucian education before studying abroad, so how could she possibly use a man's courtesy name?

Furthermore, the letter mentions that Xu Jixiao had taken care of Xiao Wuxin in Beiping, which further suggests that the relationship between Xu Minghua and Xiao Wuxin was unusual.

Xu Zhuohua handed the letter to Xu Minghua, "It's alright, look, it mentions you."

"You mentioned me?"

Xu Minghua's eyes clearly showed joy and curiosity about the letter; how could such girlish thoughts escape Xu Zhuohua's notice?

While Xu Minghua was reading the letter with a smile on his face, Xu Zhuohua had already figured out how to coax Xu Minghua into taking her out.

Sure enough, after reading the letter, Xu Minghua smiled and asked, "Is what Cheng Muyun is doing very dangerous? After so much time has passed, do you still need to remind him?"

Xu Zhuohua pretended to be worried, pressing her temples, "It's dangerous. We had a fight about this, and he won't let me go to Chen Hede. Can you help me?"

Xu Minghua hesitated, and Xu Zhuohua pressed her advantage, "Master and Madam don't know about your relationship with Xiao Wuxin, do they?"

"What? Zepeng and I don't have that kind of relationship."

Xu Zhuohua raised an eyebrow. "Ze Peng? I have to call him Senior Brother Xiao, isn't it a bit too much for you to call him Ze Peng..."

Before Xu Zhuohua could finish speaking, Xu Minghua covered her mouth.

"Shh...don't say anything. Go find Chen Hede. I'll go to the front hall and cover for you."

Xu Zhuohua pushed Xu Minghua's hand away, smiled, and said, "Thank you, little sister."

Xu Minghua walked to the door, turned around and said, "We were born in the same year, month and day, so we don't even know who is the older sister and who is the younger sister yet."
