"You really are a good person," Mo Wenxuan said blankly. "To help Lord Xue with such dedication, did you receive benefits from him in the past? With someone as grateful as you, Lord Xue must be very comforted. I thank you on behalf of Lord Xue."

"It’s my niece who has a long-standing friendship with Lord Xue’s family, and she specially rushed to Tongxiang this time to help. You should thank her instead. Her name is Jiang Li, the daughter of the current Grand Secretary Jiang Yuanbai. You’ll see her soon, she’s a rare good girl."
Ye Mingyu thought cheerfully that this was only the first household and he had already found someone willing to stand up. Jiang Li would be very happy if she knew about this.
