Yu Qizhe suddenly found himself a little funny. He had read the books of sages in vain and actually believed in ghosts and gods.

Yu Jiao waited for a while, and seeing that he still didn't speak, she asked, "Do you want to get better?"

Yu Qizhe nodded. Of course he did. How could he not? If he was healthy, there would be many possibilities in his life. If the rest of his life was like this, then he would just be wasting his time if he continued to live.

Yu Jiao looked at his beautiful peach blossom eyes and thought for a while, "You have saved me before, but I am a person who takes karma very seriously. Before I leave the Yu family, I will heal you."

"Can you cure it?" Yu Qizhe blurted out. Although he had seen Yu Jiao seeing patients these days, Yu Qizhe still didn't really believe that she could cure him.

Yu Jiao finished the last bite of the steamed bun and said, "Not yet. We have to wait a little longer. I need to find some medicinal herbs."

Yu Qizhe hummed lightly.

Yu Jiao looked at his calm expression, "You don't believe me?"

Yu Qizhe didn't say anything, not because he didn't believe it, but putting hope on others was unreliable, so he only believed in himself.

"I don't make big promises easily, and I will definitely do what I say." Besides, this was not really a big promise. Although Yu Qizhe had a weakness brought from his mother's womb, it was not the reason for his poor health. He originally thought that a small family in a mountain village would be nothing but a mess, but he didn't expect that there would be such a thing as blood relatives fighting each other. This was also the reason why Yu Jiao wanted to leave the Yu family.

"Okay." Yu Qizhe replied in a low voice.

Yu Jiao stood up from the stone and patted the dirt off her body. "Your body is not easily affected by cold, so go back to your room."

For several days in a row, Yu Ruhai treated Yu Jiao coldly, which made Yu Zhou and the third wife Zhao even more angry and they found ways to make trouble for Yu Jiao.

Song was originally worried that Yu Jiao's unyielding temper would cause her to clash with Zhao again, but she didn't expect that Yu Jiao would be so well-behaved this time. No matter how Yu Zhou and Zhao tried to make trouble, she always hid and they managed to get along peacefully.

On this day, Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan were going home from a break at the academy in the city. Zhao got up early in the morning and swept the courtyard, making it spotless. Yu Hanshan even went to the town to buy some meat.

Yu Zhou also made it known early on that Yu Jiao was not allowed to leave the east room of the third house, let alone appear in front of Yu Jinyan.

Yu Jiao was happy and at ease, hiding in Yu Qizhe's room and practicing calligraphy. Yu Qiaoshan had already made the prosthetic limb that Yu Jiao had drawn in the past few days. Yu Jiao gave Yu Qiaoshan the forty cents that Yu Qizhe gave her last time to escape from the Yu family, as well as several drawings of metal accessories for the installation and connection of the prosthetic limbs, and asked Yu Qiaoshan to find a blacksmith shop in the town to try to see if he could make it.

At noon, the courtyard became lively. Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan returned to the Yu family with their classmates and friends in a carriage.

Zhao's endless laughter and talking could almost be heard by half of the village.

Thanks to Yu Jinyan and Yu Jinshu, Yu Jiao also had the meat soup for lunch. Although there were only two bones without any meat, Yu Jiao slurped it with gusto. She soaked her steamed bun in the broth and satisfied her craving.

After dinner, Yu Jiao practiced calligraphy in Yu Qizhe's room, while Yu Qizhe read quietly beside her. The silence in the east room was somewhat out of place with the liveliness in the courtyard.

But this silence did not last long, and Yu Jiao was called to the main hall by Zhao herself.

"You silly girl, behave yourself when you enter the main hall later! If you seduce our Jinyan again and cause any trouble, you will end up in the brothel!" Zhao stared at Yu Jiao viciously and warned her again and again.
