Gu En ran back to the old house and began writing furiously in his room.
Zhang, who had just returned from a busy day, was both overjoyed and heartbroken.
She didn't even have time to wash her hands before entering the house and asking, "Enzi, you've just gotten back, haven't you? You're already writing? Don't tire yourself out like that."
Gu En nodded: "Yes, Mother, you just got back too! Go and rest for a while! I'll just write one piece of calligraphy. I can't sleep well in the city, so I want to go to bed early tonight! So I'll finish today's task first."
Zhang looked nervous: "Yes, yes, Mother won't bother you anymore. Take your time writing."
Zhang left the room with a smile.
Gu En lay there writing for a while. This was the first time he had ever written a letter to someone. He wrote it twice and felt there was something wrong with it. He felt it was too long-winded. His second brother was just like his eldest sister, not a talkative person. If he wrote it so long-winded, he would definitely get annoyed and wouldn't have the patience to read it!
Therefore, Gu En simplified the language again and again, trying to be concise and to express the central idea.
Finally, the letter read: "Second Brother, Li Muyan lied to Second Sister, saying the gloves were a gift from him, and he even said he would buy her three more pairs. Should I tell Second Sister the truth? Please reply."
After reading it twice, Gu En felt it was too simple, so he added a sentence: It seems that Second Sister agreed to associate with Li Muyan, not for business purposes, but for romantic relationships.
Adding this sentence made him satisfied.
He only had paper in his room, no envelopes left, which put him in a bit of a predicament.
The waiter said that no one should be told about sending the gloves. What if we ask Brother Yuan to help deliver the letter and accidentally unfold it so that Brother Yuan can see it?
So Gu En went to borrow an envelope from Gu Xin again. He knew that Gu Xin and Xie Zhiyi were corresponding, so Gu Xin must have one.
Gu Xin teased him, "Enzi, are you planning to send Yingying a love letter? Tell me quietly, I won't tell the adults."
Gu En: "...Yeah, right."
Lately, Gu En has been spending all his time reading books and selling goods, and has long forgotten about his tofu beauty Yingying. He doesn't even remember her unless Gu Xin mentions her.
Gu Xin gave the envelope to Gu En with a mischievous smile, and asked if he wanted her to deliver it, as she had been going to town every day recently.
Gu En waved her hands repeatedly, blushing as she said it wasn't necessary.
Gu Xin thought he was shy, but actually Enzi was just uncomfortable because he had never lied before.
After taking the envelope and putting the letter inside, Gu En sealed it with wax and then ran to find Lu Zheng.
Gu En, running in the cold wind: What am I doing all this for? To keep my sister from falling into the hands of swindlers? But I promised my second brother I wouldn't tell anyone. My second uncle said that a person must keep their word and not break their promise.
This is the first time in Gu En's life that she has felt how difficult it is to be a human being.
Gu En handed the letter to Lu Zheng, saying it was for Xue Qianyu and that it was very important. After saying that, Gu En ran away because he was afraid Lu Zheng would ask questions.
Third Sister is easy to fool, but Brother Yuan is not!
Waaaaah, he's still just a child, why does he have to endure so much at such a young age...
Huo Junhao looked at the letter in Lu Zheng's hand and said in surprise, "Brother, you mean Second Brother keeps using Enzi as an inside man? He writes a letter whenever something happens. Nian Nian has been quite happy these past few days, and everyone knows she's going to accept Li Muyan. Enzi went to deliver the message right away!"
Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, but before he could speak, Huo Junhao grinned mischievously, "Let's each send one to check on Second Brother! Hehe, let's see if he'll rush over here as fast as he can?"
Lu Zheng glanced at Huo Junhao: "Even if he comes, it won't change anything."
