Chapter 1063: Angry Out of Shame

In the dim carriage, Cheng Ying glanced at Yu Jiao and nodded. The previous tenderness on her face disappeared like a passing goose without a trace.

Yu Jiao was a little disappointed. She thought she could get something out of Cheng Ying.

"In fact, I am still very curious." Cheng Ying stared at Yu Jiao and said, "I sent someone to Changkui to check you. You didn't have an easy time in the Yu family after being sold to them for the purpose of getting married. You were even stupid enough to try to get close to the more promising son of the Yu family... Tsk, you are really stupid."

Yu Jiao was suddenly startled. She didn't expect that Cheng Ying would actually send someone to Changkui to check on her. Although she knew that the Dongchang guards were intelligence spies, the capital was far away from Qingzhou by the mountains, and she didn't think she was worthy of Cheng Ying sending the Dongchang guards to Qingyu Village.

"Who hasn't done stupid things when they were young?" Yu Jiao thought about climbing into Yu Jinyan's bed - that was what her original self did, what does it have to do with her? But Cheng Ying said it so clearly, even though she had a stable mental state, she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

However, this slight embarrassment was nothing compared to the panic caused by Cheng Ying's investigation. She acted completely differently from her original self. If the spies from the East Factory had also gone to Mengjia Village to investigate, the astute Cheng Ying would have easily found the flaws.

Cheng Ying suddenly moved closer to Yu Jiao and scanned her face. "Are you panicking?"

The breath coming close to her made Yu Jiao feel uncomfortable. The scent of the sandalwood on Cheng Ying's body filled the space in the lower camp. Yu Jiao resisted the urge to distance herself from him and pretended to be calm, saying, "Why am I panicking? I'm just embarrassed and angry."

Cheng Ying smiled with interest, leaned closer to Yu Jiao, and stared at her for a moment: "Not really."

Yu Jiao could no longer bear it. She looked calm but said in a cold voice, "If you keep talking, I will get angry. After all, no one wants to be remembered for their stupid actions."

Seeing that he had angered the man, Cheng Ying smiled softly and sat back with an inexplicable sense of pleasure, "I thought you were feeling guilty."

"Why do you feel guilty?" Yu Jiao said calmly, "I just feel a little embarrassed."

"It's really embarrassing." Cheng Ying nodded in agreement and said, "I don't think you would be so stupid as to do that."

Yu Jiao said, "It was a matter of time and circumstances. Given my experience and intelligence at the time, it was normal for me to make stupid decisions in the situation I was in. You are seeing me now. If I were to go back to the situation I was in then, I would probably make the same stupid decision."

Cheng Ying smiled after hearing this: "What you said does make some sense, but..."

He looked at Yu Jiao and changed the subject unexpectedly: "The secret letter sent back by the spy said that you had never practiced medicine before, but after that you learned medicine without a teacher and became very skilled. You performed cesarean sections on women to take out fetuses and set bones for Xiao Ning Liuzhi. Liu Yuning, haven't you changed too much?"

Yu Jiao's face was calm, but her heart was as chaotic as a lake where fish were looking for food. Even though she had expected Cheng Ying to ask this question when she mentioned Chang Kui, she really couldn't find a perfect excuse or reason during this period of time.

Yu Jiao was silent for a moment, and then said half-truthfully, "I wonder if the people you sent have seen Liu Sanniang? If they have, I think you have the answer."

"Liu Sanniang?" Cheng Ying repeated. His memory was not bad. Liu Sanniang's presence was not strong in the secret letter, but Cheng Ying still remembered, "Meng Qingyun's wife?"

Yu Jiao nodded.

Cheng Ying remembered Meng Qingyun, but as for his wife, she was just a woman not worth mentioning to Cheng Ying. The reason why she could vaguely remember her was because this woman actually sold Yu Jiao, whom Meng Qingyun risked his life to protect, to the Yu family for good fortune.
