Although Du Yinyun has now handled millions of taels of silver, she still obeys her young master without any moral compass. Not to mention the Daqi Bank and its millions of taels of silver, she would sell even her good sister, Fan Ziruo, without hesitation.
She even kept in mind He Yunxiao's casual remark, "Things shouldn't happen more than three times."
The so-called "three strikes and you're out" means that Du Meimei must refuse He Yunxiao three times before agreeing to intimacy. This was a rule that He Yunxiao established to prevent Du Meimei from being bullied too badly by him.
This tactic worked surprisingly well, reducing the number of times it had to be used while increasing the quality. So much so that He Yunxiao was constantly getting annoyed by Du Meimei's teasing, and even his actions towards her became much rougher.

Due to warnings from the imperial court, they dared not approach Yinjing, fearing annihilation by the Yan army cavalry. However, these 80,000 men lacked a general and were leaderless. Therefore, they sent a representative to Yinjing, hoping to invite Fan Yu to become their leader. Fan Yu sternly refused, leading to a stalemate.
According to Du Meimei, her older sister Fan Ziruo had spoken with her privately, and Ruobao's idea was that these 80,000 people could not be left unattended, and she wanted to join the army in place of her father.
