Xin He then continued to speak cheerfully to Xiao Chaihuo: "Let’s keep writing."
Xiao Chaihuo swallowed, somehow, her smile reminded him of the wolf disguised as grandma?
After a letter was written, Xiao Chaihuo’s face bloomed red, and goosebumps appeared. He had never noticed before that she had such a cheesy side.
Xin He looked at the love-filled letter with satisfaction, patted Xiao Chaihuo’s head and said: "Good job, your writing is getting better and better. Keep at it."
Xiao Chaihuo forced out a smile and nodded: "Mmm."
Xin He followed up with a stern face: "But don’t learn the bad. The people who write such letters are cheesy scholars. If you want to pursue a girl in the future, don’t write such mediocre stuff. Understand?"
Xiao Chaihuo looked dumbfounded: "······"
But then, aren’t you the one who is writing this?
"Alright, it’s getting late. Go call Xiao Bei for school." Xin He patted his head and smiled in satisfaction.
"Mmm." Xiao Chaihuo jumped down from the chair and obediently left.
Xiao Yu finally couldn’t help but ask, "Madam, if our master finds out about this letter..."
Xin He blinked: "Then you should make sure he doesn’t find out."
Even Xiao Yu’s expression turned rigid: "Actually, you didn’t have to make the letter this cheesy."
Xiao Yu was no fool, she knew this matter would eventually be exposed! Their master will surely notice; it’s just a matter of time. Nothing ever escapes his eyes.
When this letter is discovered by their master, she, along with Shulan, will be in hot water with Ling Feng.
How can their imposing master tolerate having his name misused to write such cheesy love letters?
The thought made Xiao Yu shudder.
Xin He consoled her: "Don’t be scared. If we succeed, he will not care about these. Trust me."
She then stuffed the letter into Xiao Yu’s hands: "Have someone deliver it."
With the letter in hand, Xiao Yu felt like she was holding a hot potato, but reluctantly nodded: "Yes."
Xin He looked serious: "Also, send a quick-witted servant with the letter. When he’s there, have him keep watch near the Song Family, paying close attention to their movement, especially Miss Song’s. See if she leaves the house, or if anyone comes to visit her."
This was what really mattered.
Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s expression also became serious: "Yes."
"Hurry up."
——
Just as Xiao Chaihuo was leaving Xin He’s courtyard, he saw Xiao Bei running towards him with their book bags. Upon seeing Xiao Chaihuo, he huffed and puffed: "I was alone, practicing, and then you got called away by sister. I almost couldn’t stand up after being tortured by the martial arts master."
Xiao Bei was struggling with the training. The martial arts master was too strict. He was still a young child and had difficulty dealing with such intense training. So when he saw Xiao Chaihuo getting called away, he was very envious.
Xiao Chaihuo’s face was still flushed, he stammered: "It wasn’t any fun task, there’s nothing to envy."
Xiao Bei looked at Xiao Chaihuo’s blushing face with confusion: "Hey, why is your face so red? What happened? Didn’t you say you didn’t do any training? Why are you so tired?"
Xiao Chaihuo covered his face and replied: "Nothing!"
"What task did sister give you? I really envy you. I was so tired this morning." Xiao Bei placed his arm on Xiao Chaihuo’s shoulder, leaning his weight on him.
Xiao Chaihuo thought to himself: If you really went there, you definitely wouldn’t envy me.
This morning, he was more tired than if he had been practicing martial arts. His heart ached from the cheesy sentences, and it would probably take a few days for him to recover.
Remembering her reading those cheesy lines with a serious face made Xiao Chaihuo’s heart race even faster.
——
"Miss! Master Mu has sent a reply!" A little maid ran in excitedly.
Song Ya Lan immediately became excited. She quickly grabbed the letter and started reading.
Undeniably, the letter that almost made Xiao Chaihuo’s and Xiao Yu’s teeth fall out due to its cheesiness, was just right for delicate and pampered boudoir daughters like Song Ya Lan.
Otherwise, how could romance novels written by those cheesy scholars be so popular and sought after?
After reading the letter thrice, Song Ya Lan still clutched it lovingly, her face flushed with a shy smile: "He does have feelings for me."
The maid immediately flattered: "Of course, Miss. You are the most gorgeous beauty, how could Master Mu not like you?"
Song Ya Lan playfully scolded the little maid: "You always know the right thing to say."
The maid continued: "Miss, you must not belittle yourself. I am telling the truth. Have you ever thought about it? That Ji Xin He is just a peasant girl, naturally crude and vulgar. When Master Mu sees Miss, being so dignified and refined, how could he ever have eyes for that peasant girl?"
Song Ya Lan raised her head in pride: "Of course, there’s no comparison between me and that kind of woman."
"Now that Master Mu has expressed his intentions, Miss doesn’t need to worry. Just wait calmly for the wedding." the maid coaxed.
Song Ya Lan, feeling content now, said coyly: "Then you go and tell my mother that Master Mu has written back saying that he will marry no one but me. We can finalize the marriage."
"Yes!"
——
However, when this information reached Lady Song, she was furious and berated Song Ya Lan: "Did you send him a letter secretly?"
Song Ya Lan retorted: "So what if I did? He was interested in me from the start. As soon as I sent the letter, he immediately replied, full of affection for me. Mother, weren’t you also in favor of this marriage at first? Now it’s as if you don’t want me to be happy!"
Lady Sun reproved: "How could you be so foolish!? A lady needs to maintain her dignity when getting married. Even though we heard from Master Mu yesterday, he did not specifically say he was going to divorce Ji Shi to marry you, so why are you rushing? Sending this letter will only give people ammunition against you. What if he uses this letter to stir up trouble in the future, and intentionally spreads rumors that you will marry no one but him!"
"Well, I do want to marry him and no one else!"
"Even if it means becoming his concubine?!" Lady Sun scolded: "Once you are in a position where you have no choice but to marry, he could easily refuse to divorce his wife and simply take you as a concubine. Are you stupid?"
