He Yunxiao really didn't dare to move.

About half an hour later.
He Yunxiao bent down, picked her up and sat her down on a chair, then fetched water and a cup, and brought it to Du Meimei for her to use.
This wasn't the first time. But Du Yinyun's attentiveness still made He Yunxiao feel uneasy.
She's too obedient.
“Yinyun, you really don’t have to do this.” He Yunxiao himself didn’t know how many times he had advised her this time.
Du Yinyun looked at He Yunxiao and smiled, "Young Master, don't you like it?"
“I do like you… but…” He Yunxiao hesitated before saying, “You’re too good to me.”
Du Yinyun gently shook her head, "Young Master is too kind to Yinyun. Yinyun can never repay Young Master's kindness no matter what she does."
“Yinyun, sometimes I hope you’re doing this willingly, rather than being bound by some obligation,” He Yunxiao said, looking into her eyes.
Du Yinyun didn't understand. "Yinyun did it voluntarily. As long as it's for the young master, Yinyun would do anything."
It's happening again...
It's futile to try to reason with someone who is so "completely devoted" to phonology.
No matter what, her words and actions make you feel that she is right and you are the one in the wrong. After all, she completely trusts you and has entrusted herself to you completely. Under such circumstances, what reason do you have to criticize her?
He Yunxiao used a handkerchief to wipe away the water stains from Du Meimei's mouthwash, and then asked her, "Have you washed all the handkerchiefs you used last time?"
Du Yinyun knew what she was about to face, and blushed as she handed He Yunxiao several handkerchiefs that she had washed, dried, and folded.
She was afraid that these handkerchiefs, which she had soiled, would soil the young master's hands, so she washed each one several times and even scented them with incense, so they now smell wonderful.
It's only right for boyfriends and girlfriends to help each other. You can't just let Du do all the work for you without contributing anything in return. You're just taking advantage of her labor.
Thinking of this, He Yunxiao's restless heart calmed down a bit. Since Du Yinyun would be in charge of Daqi Bank in the future, he naturally had to tell her about Sister Jiang first. After all, this bank was established to redeem Sister Jiang from her servitude.
He Yunxiao took the box containing the handkerchief and placed it on the table.

"Yin Yun, do you know why I'm in this business?"
Du Yinyun shook her head.
"Because of Jiang Wuyou. I want to help her redeem herself."
The fact that he was willing to help the courtesan redeem herself already speaks volumes.
Du Yinyun didn't ask, and nodded, "Okay."
"Does Yinyun agree to live with Sister Jiang?"
Du Yinyun couldn't possibly be unaware of the meaning behind He Yunxiao's words, but she still said, "Yinyun has received care from Sister Wuyou, and I cannot be ungrateful. However, my sister..."
Ultimately, it all comes down to the problem of Ziruo's wife, the "engine of the Shura Field".
“Yinyun, I want to do business, I want to make money. With money, I can build power, train martial artists, and build a big enough house for Jiang Wuyou, Fan Ziruo, and you to live in together. A big enough house will prevent us from arguing.”
Du Yinyun said, "Yinyun trusts you, young master."
He Yunxiao laughed and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's play something fun."
...
Amidst her busy schedule, He Yunxiao spared a hand to pick up a handkerchief from the wooden box on the tea table, then plunged back into her intense and exciting work.
I hadn't noticed before because I hadn't compared them, but after Sister Jiang was mentioned, He Yunxiao recalled carefully and realized that Sister Jiang's incident was indeed extraordinary. One handkerchief was almost not enough.
He Yunxiao held the limp Du sister in his arms, wondering how he could recreate that situation.
"Knock knock knock".
A knock sounded on the door.
He Yunxiao was startled and said, "I was just kidding, don't actually do it!"
Du Yinyun quickly sat up and whispered, "Young Master, it's probably my sister."
If Sister Jiang finds out, at most I'll be scolded for being shameless. But if Zi Ruo's wife finds out, I'll probably get a chopping block in my face!
A favorability rating of 101 is both a blessing and a curse.
We lack the strength and groundwork we need; it's not the right time to confront Ziruo yet.
He Yunxiao calmly said, "You speak first and say you're sleeping, and ask her to wait a bit."
The knocking sounded again, and Du Yinyun said, "Sister, wait a moment. I just fell asleep and got up."
Taking advantage of the moment Du Yinyun was speaking, He Yunxiao quickly cleaned up the battlefield, got dressed, and slipped to the window, ready to escape at any time.
Du Meimei went to open the door, and He Yunxiao took advantage of the moment when Du Meimei opened the door, using the sound of the door opening as cover, and jumped out of the window to slip outside.
As soon as Fan Ziruo entered the room, the first thing she said was, "Yinyun, there's a strange smell in your room."
Du Yinyun's expression was a little unnatural. She was taking advantage of her sister's ignorance, so she said, "It's probably because dinner was left overnight and was only taken out in the morning."
Fan Ziruo didn't press further, but asked with a puzzled look, "Yinyun, why are you asleep? Where is Young Master He?"
Du Yinyun said calmly, "I didn't sleep well last night. I lay down for a while after Young Master He left."
Fan Ziruo changed the subject for a few more minutes, then hesitated before asking, "Yinyun, did you agree to Young Master He's request?"
"Um."
"Then do your sister a favor."
"What?"
"When you're with Young Master He, keep an eye on Chu Xiaoxiao."
"Chu Xiaoxiao?" Du Yinyun asked, somewhat puzzled.
Fan Ziruo frowned and said, "I have a feeling she's dangerous. If you notice anything amiss with her, tell me immediately. I'll ask the young master to be careful around her."
"Hmm." Du Yinyun didn't find anything strange about Chu Xiaoxiao. When she saw her before, she was clearly just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.
Finally, Fan Ziruo asked, "Yinyun, what do you think of Young Master He?"
Du Yinyun wasn't fooled at all. Her sister was just testing her, feeling anxious and uncertain.
“Normally, if it weren’t for her sister’s sake, Yin Yun definitely wouldn’t help him.”
Hearing her dear sister say this, Fan Ziruo finally felt relieved, but then complained to her, "Young Master He is handsome, has excellent martial arts skills, and is of good character. How can he be just average? Yinyun is so picky. She will never be able to get married in the future."
Du Yinyun said half-jokingly, "At worst, I'll marry whoever my sister marries and still be her sister."
