After talking with Liu Ziqi that day, Yu Jiao felt relaxed. She moved back to Yingyue Pavilion. Although she was a little worried about Yu Qizhe's injuries, the wedding day was approaching soon. According to Tai Yan's rules, she and Yu Qizhe should not meet again before marriage. So Yu Jiao prepared some medicine to treat internal and external injuries and asked Jianjia to deliver it.

When Jianjia came back, she brought news that Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhoushi were beaten. Their injuries were not light, but they could not get out of bed. Fortunately, their lives were not in danger.

"Mr. Yu seems to be quite busy with official duties recently and is not at home. When I went to deliver the medicine, they thought you were sending it specially for the old man and old lady of the Yu family." Jianjia said, "But I gave the medicine to Song Nian and whispered to him that the medicine was for Mr. Yu."

Yu Jiao was a little surprised. Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhou had just arrived in Beijing and should not have offended anyone. How come they were beaten up for no reason?

She asked Jianjia, "Who did it?"

Jianjia shook her head and said truthfully, "I asked Song Nian, and he said that the old couple was ambushed when they were strolling in the market after dinner, and they didn't see clearly who did it. I saw that the old couple's injuries meant they would not be able to attend the wedding."

Yu Jiao nodded. It would be better if she couldn't attend. She didn't want to serve tea to these two people when she was paying her respects to her parents.

She had no intention of forgetting her grudges with Yu Ruhai and Yu Zhoushi after marrying Yu Qizhe. If they behaved themselves and stopped making trouble, then they could live in peace. But if the old couple still couldn't get over it and caused trouble again, Yu Jiao would not tolerate them at all.

At the beginning, she was like a floating duckweed, with her indenture in their hands and nowhere to go, so she had to endure and deal with it. But now the situation is very different.

Yu Jiao just treated them as irrelevant people and would not waste her energy to make things difficult for them, but she would not tolerate them anymore. She hoped that Yu Ruhai and his wife and the people from the third branch of the Yu family would be more sensible.

"Why haven't you seen Li Jing for a long time?" Yu Jiao was about to let Jianjia go to rest, but suddenly remembered that she seemed to have hardly seen Chou Ge'er since she came back from Liangzhou, so she asked. There were not many servants and maids in her yard, and Wei San was the one who drove when she went out a few days ago. Yu Jiao was going to get married, so the servants around her naturally had to be properly settled. Jianjia and Bailu would naturally go to Yu's house with her. She also asked Wei San's opinion, and Wei San was willing to follow her, leaving only Li Jing.

Yu Jiao thought that if Li Jing wanted to stay in the mansion, she would go and say hello to her eldest brother and let Li Jing go to work for her eldest brother.

Jianjia said, "It was my negligence. When the young lady went to Liangzhou, Master Lichu said that his courtyard was short of servants, so he asked Li Jing to drive for him. When they came back from Liangzhou, Master Lichu had someone inform me, but I forgot to tell you."

Yu Jiao frowned, feeling a little worried. Wei Lichu was really too unreasonable. It was him who made the Five Stones Powder for Cui Mubai, and it was also him who was hunted down by the East Factory. He was not at home all day, and no one knew what he was doing outside. Li Jing had a face full of burns, and he followed him out all day, so Yu Jiao was really a little worried.

The second aunt of the Liu family asked them to take a message to Wei Lichu to tell him to return to Pingliang Mansion. However, when Wei Lichu heard the news that she was going to get married, he stayed in the mansion and insisted on waiting until after she got married and watching the ceremony before leaving.

That day, Cheng Ying came to give her some dowry. Wei Lichu came to see her specially. Knowing that Cheng Ying was going to attend the ceremony, he was even happier than Yu Jiao, which really made Yu Jiao a little confused.

"Tell cousin Li Chu to replace Wei San and let him serve him temporarily, and tell Li Jing to go back to the yard." Wei San was trained by Old Lady Liu, and was much smarter than Li Jing, Yu Jiao said after thinking for a while.

Jianjia responded, and when Wei Lichu returned home in the evening, she went to his yard and used Wei San to exchange Li Jing back.

After dinner, Yu Jiao called Li Jing to the main hall and said to him, "Back then you were being hunted and had nowhere to stay, so you followed me to the Liu family. Now I'm getting married soon. Do you want to stay in the mansion or come with me to the Yu family?"

Li Jing suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Yu Jiao solemnly, then he said in a hoarse voice after being burned: "Miss San, thank you for your protection, but all good things must come to an end. I want to leave, and I hope Miss will grant my wish."

Yu Jiao was a little surprised, as this was something she had not expected, but she soon accepted it. Although Li Jing had not had a good life in the past, he was still a free man. Although life was better as a slave in a wealthy family, it was not so comfortable to be servile and be ordered around.

"Okay, you get up first." Yu Jiao asked Jianjia to get fifty taels of silver. She handed it to Li Jing, called him ugly boy, and said with a smile, "Wang Min, who chased you that day, is no longer a force to be reckoned with. Take care of yourself after you leave. Don't care about other people's eyes and live your own life."

Li Jing did not take the silver, but Yu Jiao stuffed it into his arms, "I don't have your indenture here, you are a free person, please accept this silver, whether you go back to the charity cemetery or find a place to stay, you will always need expenses, don't be as embarrassed as before when we meet again in the future."

Li Jing's eyes, which looked a little hideous due to the scar, were slightly red. Since the fire, the time he spent in Liu's house was the most comfortable time he had. If there was nothing else he needed to do, he would be willing to follow Yu Jiao and be a servant.

He might not be able to escape unscathed this time. Li Jing tightened his grip on the purse and suddenly took out the short blade that he usually treasured. "The girl asked me where this blade came from that day, and I lied."
