However, at this moment, even if everyone vigorously shook their thin three-page papers, not a single sugar crumb fell out.

Ironically, this edition of "Miscellaneous Notes" did not include the usual "to be continued" phrase. Many young ladies in the house felt an itch in their hearts, like a cat scratching, eager for more of these everyday anecdotes.

These ladies instructed their maids to deliver messages to their friends, always including a line: "Did they print fewer copies of the Fucheng tabloid this time?"

They completely forgot the excitement they felt when they first noticed the ink on the sixth page of the Fucheng tabloid.

Lin Yushu, now fourteen years old, was one of Fucheng's most prominent merchant's legitimate daughters, raised with abundant love from a young age.

Seeing that she was approaching a marriageable age, her mother was becoming anxious, nearly inspecting every eligible young man in Fucheng as a prospective son-in-law.

Li Jin had originally been on this lady's list of candidates, but because he had married early, she personally crossed his name off.

However, the lady had seen this edition of the Fucheng tabloid, which contained a detailed introduction to Li Jin's accomplishments, along with an "exclusive Q&A" section.

From Li Jin's answers, there was no hint of arrogance; his words exuded a warm and uplifting atmosphere.

Even the lady, after reading this Q&A, developed a favorable opinion of this previously unknown individual.

In recent days, something deeply troubled the lady. Her adored daughter was refusing to let go of this Fucheng tabloid and had even sent messages to her friends inquiring if there was additional content in this issue.

The lady, focused on finding a husband for her daughter, couldn't spare the time to finish reading the tabloid. She mistakenly believed her daughter admired Li Jin's knowledge and was eager to learn more about him.

But how could her daughter be so inflexible, especially considering Li Jin already had a husband?

After much consideration, the lady decided to have a private conversation with Lin Yushu to ensure her daughter wouldn't become a concubine and to clear up the misunderstanding.

Once the misunderstanding was resolved, the lady decided to read the "Miscellaneous Notes" herself.

After reading it, her daughter looked at her eagerly and said, "Mother, you also think it's unfinished and want to see more, right?"

Reluctantly, the lady admitted that the story was indeed heartwarming and engaging. She said, "This story is charming and interesting. Once your father returns, I'll inquire about it. Perhaps we can obtain the continuation."

Lin Yushu hugged her mother's arm and said playfully, "Mother, you're the best."

The next day, the shopkeeper of Ning Xing Bookstore, looking at Master Lin seated across from him, expressed shock, "Are you asking if 'Miscellaneous Notes' has a continuation?"

Seems like you're interested in these things when you return home!

Master Lin, somewhat surprisingly, accepted the blame and said, "We've been working together for many years; just give me some assurance. Do you have the continuation?"

The shopkeeper nodded, "Yes, but the author trusted me with it. I can't release the continuation before it's officially published."

Master Lin glanced strangely at his friend, who was quite astute in business. He realized that the author of "Miscellaneous Notes" likely had some influence. The shopkeeper had even refused to let him take it home privately.
