Seeing that it was getting late, Ma Taozhi was about to cook, and Pan Xiaofu was also making a fire. He glanced at Taozhi and said, "Taozhi, relax and don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Ma Taozhi paused and said, "Dad, I'm fine. I just want to help Zhining more." He said this with a lack of confidence.

There's nothing he can do. Everyone in the family can read, except him. Now it's a little better, and he can recognize a few words, more or less.

The two of them cooked very quickly and they could eat when Song Jushu and Song Zhining came back. Song Xin stayed in the room and no one knew what she was doing!

Song Jushu returned home with a heavy heart, frowning and worried. Her official ordered her to falsify the accounts, which made her feel torn and conflicted.

Song Zhining's day was okay, and the jewelry he made sold averagely. However, business was extremely slow at noon. But as Yu Jie'er said, there was no need to rush.

After finishing her meal, Song Jushu sat at her desk, the pen in her hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and she couldn't put it down. She knew that this was an immoral thing to do, but she couldn't disobey the official's order. She racked her brains, trying to come up with a perfect plan that would both meet the official's requirements and avoid being discovered.

It was late at night, and Song Jushu was still thinking hard. Her eyes revealed anxiety and uneasiness, and the candlelight cast a shadow on her face, making her look more solemn. Finally, she thought of a way, and a plan that seemed to be perfect gradually took shape in her mind...

She could make two sets of accounts and falsify the official's accounts.

She sat in the dim candlelight with two account books in front of her, one false and one real.

Her eyes revealed determination and resoluteness, and her fingers danced nimbly on the account book, as if she was weaving a complicated lie.

She carefully arranged the fake account books to be perfect, every number was carefully calculated, and every record appeared to be flawless.

She wanted to make the official believe that this fake account book was the real one and see that everything was running normally.

The real account book was secretly hidden by her in a secret place.

That was her promise to herself, and the evidence she left for herself in case of any mishaps in the future. She understood that this true account book was her guarantee, and it was how she protected herself and her family.

Her movements were light and quick, without any hesitation or delay.

She knew what she was doing, and although she felt a little uneasy, it was for survival, to protect herself and important people.

As the last entry was completed, she gently closed the account book and placed the fake copy in a prominent place, ready to hand it over to the official. Her heartbeat quickened slightly, but she tried to stay calm.

As soon as it got light, the rooster crowed.

Song Jushu took a deep breath and stood up, holding the fake account book in her hand. She had to face the official and present the fake account book to him, while keeping the real account book and not letting anyone find it.

Song Yu silently watched everything her grandmother did. This is the helplessness of the people at the bottom of society. Once they embark on this path, everything is beyond their control.

She has extraordinary powers and can kill anyone she doesn't like, but she didn't do that. She followed the rules and did everything step by step.

Song Yu is also following the laws and rules of this world.

The early morning sunlight poured into the room through the window, illuminating Ao Danyan's slightly tired face.

Her eyes were a little blurry, as if she had not yet fully woken up from last night's dream.

Her hair was scattered on her shoulders, no longer as bright and shiny as before. Her face was a little pale, revealing an unconcealable fatigue.

The eyes that were originally bright and lively now became dull and lifeless, as if they had lost their vitality. Seeing Ao Danyan like this, Song Yu couldn't help but feel curious.

"What's wrong with you, Sister Yan?"

It's been a week since then, and Song Yu still lingers in my mind.

Ao Danyan glanced at her. What happened? Of course it was a nightmare. She dreamed that when she and Yingying were doing that, Song Yu was standing beside them. It was really terrifying.

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well." Ao Danyan couldn't tell anyone about the dream she had.

Looking at Teacher Zhong's green hat, Song Yu smiled unkindly.

Ao Danyan just hoped that this little ancestor would not do anything weird.

Yingying paced back and forth in the room, his eyes confused and his hands unconsciously clenched, showing his inner uneasiness. His thoughts were like a tangled mess and the figure of his sister Ao Danyan kept appearing in his mind.

"Why hasn't she looked for me for a long time?" Yingying murmured to herself, frowning.

He recalled every moment he spent with sister Ao Danyan, and those happy times now made him feel flustered.

Yingying tried to calm himself down, but the anxiety in his heart surged like a tide. He began to wonder if sister Ao Danyan was in trouble or if he had done something wrong to make her angry.

He kept thinking about his own words and actions. He hadn't heard any news about Ao Danyan's sister for a long time, and he felt a little disappointed.

The torture of waiting made him more and more uneasy, and he seemed to have lost his direction.

"I'm going to find her and find out what's going on." Yingying made up her mind that she would find sister Ao Danyan, resolve the doubts in her heart, and regain peace of mind.

Song Yu is doing homework and writing essays, all of which need to be submitted. There is also a poetry gathering of literati happening recently, and she also wants to go and join in the fun.

After glancing at Ao Danyan who was also doing the questions, she suddenly raised her head.

I have to say that Yingying is really bold. She came to my house regardless of the consequences. Moreover, Mr. Zhong, who was teaching the text in the class, was spitting everywhere.

This was about to become a Shura field, but to Song Yu's regret, the brain-destroying man went back again.

"What are you looking at?" Ao Danyan looked at her staring outside with a dull gaze.

"No, why don't you go find Yingying after class?" Song Yu kindly reminded her.

In the afternoon, the sun was still so bright, and Ao Danyan felt someone calling her.

When Ao Danyan heard the voice, he was slightly stunned and then turned his gaze to Yingying.

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she seemed a little surprised by Yingying's appearance.

Yingying and Ao Danyan obviously have a good relationship, which can be seen from their mutual eyes and smiles. Ao Danyan's eyes are full of kindness and love, and Yingying responds with a warm smile.

At this moment, it seems as if time has stopped for them. The friendship between them does not need words, just a look or a smile can convey their feelings to each other.

Perhaps it is because of their long-term relationship that they have a deep understanding and trust of each other.

At this moment, their relationship was like that of a couple, and they could understand each other's thoughts without much words.

The surrounding atmosphere also became particularly harmonious because of their presence, as if there was an invisible force that closely connected them together.

"Look! Yingying is here to see you." Song Yu felt that he was in a good mental state, patted her on the back, and then left.
