Xiao Rujun would never let his beloved suffer, so he secretly gave Silver Coin to Jiaang Qingfeng, hoping she would improve her family's life, and advised Jiaang Zirong to study diligently, reminding her not to say anything.
Jiaang Zirong is no fool, how could he not know that Xiao Rujun is secretly supporting them? He just didn't want to lose face, nor make a commitment to Xiao Rujun, so he pretended to be ignorant and accepted Xiao Rujun's secret assistance with peace of mind.
If he were truly a fool, could he even study?
Once, while Jiaang Zirong was gathering herbs on the mountain, he accidentally fell off a cliff. He only managed to hold onto a vine, about to fall, when Yuling, who had been secretly observing him, saved him.
The two met because of this. Yuling was a Fairy, and Jiaang Zirong was smitten at First Meeting. Yuling admired Jiaang Zirong's filial piety and admired how he did not bend in the face of money, having integrity, like writing an IOU for Xiao Rujun.
