An Ying's father and the Marquis of Jing'an were cousins. Before Jiang Xuelin's marriage was settled, the Marquis of Jing'an's wife had considered marrying her to An's nephew, who was An Ying's brother.

Coincidentally, An Ying will be getting married next month to Fan Yundi.

Since we met by chance, we naturally went to the teahouse next door to sit down and have a cup of tea.

Even An Ying had heard about what had happened recently. An Ying had always admired her cousin. When a young girl meets someone she admires, she naturally has more private conversations.

With her wedding next month, An Ying felt a little uneasy and anxious about facing her new life.

"Cousin, don't worry. Fan Yundi is a good guy. He's got a good personality and looks."

Upon hearing that Jiang Xuelin seemed to be very familiar with Fan Yundi, the little girl's eyes lit up.

She knew that Jiang Xue was often away from home and was quite familiar with all the men in the capital, but she didn't expect that she would also know about her fiancé.

The shy young girl couldn't resist and ultimately wanted to know more about her fiancé.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to married life.

And then...

Jiang Xuelin could only bite the bullet and, with the air of someone who had been through it all, casually brush off certain topics.

...I never expected that my cousin wasn't as well-behaved as she seemed.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have asked that question.

"Well, I am nervous, but it's okay. Everything will be arranged. I'm sure your aunt will also give you some pointers."

Stop asking, stop asking, please stop asking!

The topic was getting increasingly dangerous, so Jiang Xuelin had to find an excuse to end it and then quickly ran away.

An Ying was somewhat disappointed. She could only ask her unconventional cousin about this kind of topic; she would never dare to ask anyone else.

Fu Hanlai didn't know what the two had talked about; he was just curious because Jiang Xuelin seemed to be fleeing in panic.

However, he found out what they had talked about that very night.

That night, Jiang Xuelin lay in bed, unable to fall asleep as she couldn't stop thinking about what had happened during her day with An Ying.

To her surprise, Fu Hanlai was in the same boat, unable to fall asleep because he was thinking about what had happened during the day.

After a while, once he was sure Jiang Xuelin wasn't moving, Fu Hanlai quietly got up, rummaged around in the hidden compartment by the bed for a bit, then opened it and pulled out a book.

It was Jiang Xuelin's "dowry".

He felt that if he encountered a similar situation again, it would be bad if he didn't know anything about it. So he decided to take this opportunity to learn and be an experienced person next time, so that today's incident wouldn't happen again.

As soon as Fu Hanlai took the book out, he turned around and met Jiang Xuelin's bright eyes.

"..." Fu Hanlai, who wanted to secretly study while Jiang Xue was asleep.

"..." Jiang Xuelin was also waiting for Fu Han to fall asleep so she could get up and study.

The book in his hand fell onto the brocade quilt with a thud.
