"I only have this one younger sister, so naturally I cherish her. Today's events were the fault of the Treasure Pavilion, which disturbed the enjoyment of you ladies. I am deeply sorry. You ladies must accept this luminous pearl."
Jiang Ji looked at Song Zhiyu with a gentle gaze, not a superficial smile, but a genuine one.
The ladies accepted Jiang Jiyao's luminous pearl, fully aware that he intended to use it to silence them.
Although Shen Ru pushed him first, she is still an elder, and Song Zhiyu is destined to suffer a loss, and may even be criticized behind her back.
But since they had accepted the money, and they also disapproved of Shen Ru's actions, they pretended not to see it.

The third floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Second Brother, it's been a long time." Song Zhiyu stared intently at Jiang Jiyao, a glint of tears flashing in her eyes before disappearing in an instant.
This is the first time she has seen her second brother since her rebirth, and it feels like a lifetime has passed.
"I was planning to come back as soon as I received your message, but some things held me back, so I had Yunxi give you the letter first, to save my little Yu'er from crying."
Jiang Jiyao leaned lazily against the carved wooden pillar, his shoulders trembling slightly with laughter as he spoke.
"I didn't cry..." Song Zhiyu looked away uncomfortably after Jiang Jiyao exposed her weakness.

"This is not good. The number of refugees is increasing, and the relief grains distributed by the imperial court are simply not enough. Also, we have received news from the northern kingdoms, and they are probing us from time to time." Jiang Jiyao shook his head. Mentioning Liangzhou, he suddenly felt that the fragrant tea in his mouth was somewhat tasteless.
Song Zhiyu sighed, "I wonder how my eldest brother and third brother are doing. I've been having a bad feeling lately."
She had been trying to gather the necessary herbs, but with little success.
Unable to obtain any information from Liangzhou, she had no way of knowing where to begin and was also unaware of the source of the plague.
"I don't know either, but you know their abilities. They're the ones who scheme against others, so don't worry too much." Jiang Jiyao's words weren't just to comfort Song Zhiyu. They had grown up together since childhood and knew each other's backgrounds very well.
