"Brother, what about you if you give all these to me?"
Li Yuyu gradually regained her composure. From the pile of silver notes, she took out one, thought it over, then gritted her teeth and pulled out another to hand them both to Li Mo.
"You’re traveling, and I’ve heard Beihuang is a barren land. When you get there, you’ll definitely lack resources, so take more Silver Taels with you. If you see anything you need on the road, buy it and take it with you. Don’t deprive yourself."
Li Mo looked at the silver note Li Yuyu shoved into his hand, feeling a warmth in his heart.
His Yu’er had grown up and knew how to care for her brother.
"Alright, since it’s Yu’er’s heartfelt gesture, your brother will accept it."
Li Yuyu smiled, her Willow Leaf Eyes curved, and suddenly thought of something, motioning to Li Mo with her finger.
Li Mo bent down cooperatively.
"Brother, let me tell you something, but you must not tell anyone, especially Yan Zixuan!" Li Yuyu whispered.
Li Mo nodded, patting his chest in assurance, "Naturally, if Yu’er wants to speak, brother will say it; if Yu’er says not to, even if the Emperor wants to chop off brother’s head, he won’t say a word."
"That’s not acceptable." Li Yuyu frowned, "If Yan Xiu wants to know, then tell him. Nothing is more important than living, understand?"
Li Mo slightly lowered his head, his deep eyes glinting like stars, unable to hide his happiness.
"Brother must promise Yu’er, no matter what happens, never disregard life and death. In the palace, your sister is still waiting for you to return!"
Li Yuyu spoke with a serious expression, each word articulated.
"Yes." Li Mo promised firmly.
Li Yuyu lowered her voice and gently whispered a few words into Li Mo’s ear.
Li Mo’s smile froze instantly. He looked down, staring blankly at Li Yuyu. Though his lips were slightly parted, he didn’t say a word. His expression said it all.
"Brother, remember what I said. If you can tame him, do so. If not..."
Li Yuyu pressed her lips and didn’t continue.
Li Mo nodded solemnly.
A peculiar warmth filled his heart, and he couldn’t resist reaching out to tousle Li Yuyu’s hair, "Yu’er, knowing you’ve truly accepted your brother makes him so happy. I was really afraid to see your worried expression each time we met. This is good. Be yourself, okay?"
Li Mo reluctantly withdrew his hand, walked to the window, and leaped out while holding onto the window ledge.
"Brother, take your time on the road." Li Yuyu followed a few steps, shouting towards the distance until she couldn’t hear any more sound, then returned to her bedside.
Li Yuyu fell asleep hugging the silver notes.
In her dreams, she dreamed of lying on a big bed built with gold ingots, with a pillow made of Silver, and a blanket made of silver notes covering her.
"Hehehe..."
Li Yuyu couldn’t help but chuckle, clutching the silver notes tighter.
"Master, wake up." Hua Yin called softly by the bedside.
"Has the master woken up?" Feng Yin asked, bringing a copper basin inside.
Hua Yin shook her head.
She had heard from Sister Feng Yin about the general’s return, so she wasn’t surprised to see so many silver notes. The general used to love giving the master money, afraid she wouldn’t have enough to spend.
"The master has so many silver notes. Let me help her put them away." Hua Yin bent down to take the notes from Li Yuyu.
"Don’t snatch my money! Go away, everyone go away." Li Yuyu muttered discontentedly, hugging the silver notes, turned to face inward, and continued sleeping.
Hua Yin: ...
