Yuehuan received the pouch, her heart filled with gratitude as she looked at the stack of small denominations of silver notes, including ten and twenty taels. She urgently needed money this time because Hong Mei's brother had gotten into trouble that required a substantial amount of cash, and she did not have enough. This was a rare opportunity, the best time to win over Hong Mei. Once Hong Mei was on her side, Yuehuan's actions would be much easier; otherwise, she'd have to keep a watchful eye on those around her, like now, preventing her from achieving anything. It was this situation that led her to decide to take a risk.
