Sheng Hong nodded. "Okay, Mother, I'll go and write a letter right now." With that, he turned and left the room.

Meanwhile, in the Wei Rui Xuan, Madam Wang and several children were chatting. Noticing that Hua Lan seemed distracted, she softly asked, "Hua Lan, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?"

Liu's mother whispered a few words in Wang Ruofu's ear, and Wang Ruofu suddenly understood. Then she gently said to Hua Lan, "Hua'er, you don't need to stay here with me. Go back to your room!"

Hua Lan glanced gratefully at her mother, then silently got up and left. Her heart was filled with complex emotions, both happy and nervous.

Hua Lan quickly got up, said something, and left in a hurry. After Hua Lan left, Chang Bai asked, "Mother, what's wrong with eldest sister today? She seemed absent-minded just now."

"Yes, Mother, is Eldest Sister sick?" Rulan asked.

"Your eldest sister's soul has already drifted to the capital. Haha," Madam Wang said with a chuckle.

Hua Lan returned to her room and quickly ordered her maid to pick some herbs and close the doors and windows. She went to the large wooden box Jin Shuai had given her, and with a nervous heart, gently opened it. Inside was a letter, surrounded by beautifully packaged square boxes. Hua Lan took out the letter, which read: "The unglazed porcelain is outlined with blue and white strokes, the peony painted on the vase is like your first makeup. The rising sandalwood incense through the window reveals my unspoken thoughts. The brush on the Xuan paper pauses halfway, the glaze rendering the lady's figure, its charm hidden away. Your radiant smile is like a bud about to bloom. A wisp of your beauty drifts away, to a place I cannot reach. The sky-blue awaits the rain, and I wait for you. Smoke rises from the chimneys, across thousands of miles of river." Hua Lan was somewhat confused. Jin Shuai would surely say, "This is song lyrics, not a Song Dynasty poem."

Hua Lan looked at it for a long time and could only understand a little bit of the meaning. She opened the box and saw the underwear inside. She was a little confused when she saw the two pitifully small pieces of cloth. The maid came forward and explained the purpose of the underwear. Hua Lan blushed with embarrassment and said with some displeasure, "Why did he send these things? He has no shame."

“Miss, please don’t talk nonsense. When the maids of the Jin family taught us how to use it, they said it was invented by a sage and is a blessing for all women in the world. These are gifts from the sage. The lord said that you can keep some for yourself and give the rest away as gifts,” the maid said.

Upon hearing this, Hua Lan blushed even more. She looked down at the underwear in her hands and muttered to herself, "This man is really..." Although she felt a little shy, she also knew the preciousness and special significance of this gift.

Hua Lan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She gently stroked the soft fabric, feeling its warmth and comfort. She began to imagine herself wearing this lingerie and couldn't help but smile slightly.

“Since it’s a gift from a sage, then accept it. However, I still feel a little embarrassed,” Hua Lan said softly.

Cai Zhai smiled and nodded, indicating her understanding. She told Hua Lan that the Duke had specifically instructed them not to ask too many questions, but simply to do as he asked. Upon hearing this, Hua Lan felt a warm current welling up in her heart. She understood that this was the man's care and protection for her.

Hua Lan decided to keep some of the lingerie as her personal keepsake. The rest would be given as precious gifts to relatives and friends. This way, she could express her feelings, let more people feel this blessing from the saint, and also feel more honored. After receiving the gifts, Hua Lan's mood became exceptionally joyful. These gifts were not only material enjoyment but also a symbol of emotional connection. They made Hua Lan feel valued and loved, and filled her with hope for her future married life.
