The first half of the letter was Mother's greetings to her eldest sister's family and herself.

Ask Yun Xiaoxiao how she is, whether she is eating well, how the two children are doing, how Mr. Zhao is doing, and whether Fan Sibo is busy with official duties.

Ask Yun Sheng if she's been good, and if she's caused any trouble for her older sister.

Her tone was rambling, just like any other mother in the world who is worried about her child going on a long trip.

The letter also mentioned recent events at home: my parents are preparing to return to the capital because my grandfather's health has improved a lot. Although he still cannot get out of bed, his appetite and spirits have greatly improved.

Finally, he made a special mention, saying, "Your grandfather is cursing with more energy than before he got sick; it seems he won't die."

Yun Shengsheng rolled her eyes at the sight.

She flipped to the last page of the letter, quickly scanned it, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"What?! My cousin Yun Yaya actually married that Zhu Liguang...!"

Yun Shengsheng gritted her teeth: "Did my cousin really marry Zhu Liguang, the man who beat two wives to death?"

Yun Xiaoxiao frequently corresponded with Gan Yuwan, and she already knew the whole story of Yun Yaya's matter. When she received the letter, she was stunned for a long time, her feelings were very complicated.

She had known that cousin since childhood; she was an honest and upright person.

She sighed, feeling a pang of sympathy: "I never expected her to actually agree."

"And she's already married into the family."

Yun Shengsheng frowned and asked Xiao Maotuanzi, "[Tongzi, quickly check what's going on!]"

Was Yun Yaya coerced by Yun Huai'an's family? What about baby Gu Zilan? Is she alright? Did they sell her again?

The little fritter was also curious and quickly examined it. It soon shook its head and sighed, "Host, it really was Yun Yaya who agreed herself; no one forced her!"

"But, it seems like she's not at a disadvantage either!"

Yun Shengsheng was taken aback. [What does that mean?]

Little Dumpling didn't hide anything and told Yun Yaya everything.

First, Zhu Liguang agreed that Yun Yaya could bring Gu Zilan with her when she got married, and no longer required her to send the child away.

Not only will they not send Gu Zilan away, but they will also include him in the Zhu family genealogy, giving him a legitimate status. They will also support Gu Zilan's education.

Yun Yaya said she could endure anything in her life, but she would never back down on anything related to her child.

Secondly, Yun Yaya made it very clear to her parents. She was fulfilling her filial duty, but this was also the last time she would obey her parents' and brothers' arrangements.

Her parents gave birth to her and raised her. She repaid their kindness with this marriage, and from then on, all ties with her parents and siblings were severed.

Once she leaves this door, whether she lives or dies, whether she is happy or not, will have nothing to do with Yun Huai'an's family anymore.

They don't need to come looking for her anymore, and she won't go back to that house. Her bright red fingerprint was pressed on the document, and the village head was the witness.

Third, these are the exact words spoken by Yun Yaya and Gan Yuwan.

Yun Yaya said, "Second Aunt, you don't need to worry, I'm perfectly sober."

"I know how difficult it is for women to live in this world, especially for single women with a child."

"Everywhere I go, people point and talk about me. It's hard to find a job, let alone give my child a good life and future."

"If I want Gu Zilan to have access to education, food to eat, and a promising future, I need someone to rely on."

"Although Zhu Liguang's family background is not comparable to that of a wealthy family, they are still considered well-off in Taijing County. They own land, shops, and businesses, which allows me to take good care of my child and encourage him to study hard. For my son, I am willing to jump into this fire pit."

"I've known what kind of person Zhu Liguang is for a long time. He beat his two previous wives to death, which is no secret in town."

"Moreover, I have also investigated. Zhu Liguang completely ignores the three children. The maid with the pretty face takes advantage of Zhu Liguang's favor and mistreats the three children in every way."

"They wore tattered rags, ate cold rice and spoiled vegetables, huddled next to the stove to keep warm in the winter, and were covered in heat rash in the summer, but no one cared."

"But Zhu Liguang's second wife, Lan Niang, was actually kind to me. I couldn't bear to see my benefactor's child continue to suffer in Zhu Liguang's hands, nor did I want that villain to harm other innocent women."

"Anyway, I'm just a broken body, a withered flower. Rather than let Zhu Liguang harm others, I'd rather jump into this fire pit myself."

Yun Shengsheng's eyes were a little red, and she understood what Yun Yaya meant.

Yun Yaya felt she had walked through the gates of hell more than once, endured all kinds of hardship and suffering, and was not afraid to deal with a beast. For her child, she would fight to the death…

The little dumpling added mysteriously, "You know what? Your cousin secretly went through all of the Zhu family's account books and even got some poison! I bet she's planning to kill the father and keep the son when the time is right!"

Yun Shengsheng opened her mouth, her brows furrowing into a tight knot.

"If she really kills Zhu Liguang, she can rightfully own all of the Zhu family's assets, and from then on she can raise her four children alone without having to rely on anyone."

"Actually, it's pretty good!"

Yun Shengsheng still frowned: "Things aren't that simple..."

Little Dumpling shrugged: "Your cousin has already figured out how to clean up the mess, so it should be fine!"

Yun Shengsheng was silent for a moment, then weakly asked, "Um... could I send her some colorless and odorless poison?"

[Then give her some antidote, just in case she accidentally poisons herself...]

Little Dumpling: "..."

"Host, you were just shocked that someone was going to kill their father and leave their son behind, and now you're offering to provide them with the tools to commit the crime? How come your moral standards are so inconsistent?"

Yun Shengsheng: [Hehe, hehehehehe!]

That night, she lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

My mind was racing with all sorts of random thoughts.

What I think about most is that Yun Yaya was discovered, beaten to death, and dumped in a mass grave, while the little girl Gu Zilan was thrown into a pile of beggars, and her fate was also very pitiful.

Yan Shijin lived next door to her and could clearly hear Yun Shengsheng's inner thoughts, so he was also forced to struggle with them for most of the night.

But he couldn't directly comfort Sheng Sheng, and he tossed and turned in bed, feeling frustrated and unable to sleep.

The next morning, when they ate breakfast, both of them had dark circles under their eyes and looked listless.

Yun Shengsheng looked at Yan Shijin in surprise: "Brother Shijin, are you not feeling well?"

She quickly took his pulse as she spoke...
