Yu Jiao wakes up one day to find herself transmigrated into the body of a poor rural girl, sold off in a marriage of luck to a sickly man.
Thinking she’s landed in a farming-romance novel, ...
Yu Jiao didn't even look at him, "Aunt Song, Uncle Mengshan, I'm leaving."
Song responded emptily, glanced at Liu Ziqi and the guards behind him, and then whispered, "Do you want to go home with...with your brother?"
Yu Jiao did not answer. She did not have the answer to this question in her heart. Privately, Yu Jiao did not want to go with Liu Ziqi. She hated trouble. Now that she had gotten rid of the Yu family, she had thought that she would live a free and easy life in the future. However, man proposes, God disposes.
"Then be careful on the road. If you want to..." Song paused and couldn't say the rest of the words. With the family in such a mess, there was no way Yu Jiao would want to go back here.
Yu Jiao had such a good life experience, and the brother she found was very caring towards her. She wanted to give him some advice, but she didn't know what to say.
Instead, Yu Fuling said, "Yu Jiao, if you leave, what will happen to Qiyun County? Didn't we agree to go to the capital to see Zhege'er together?"
It turns out that Yu Jiao's biological father is a high-ranking official in the capital. Yu Fuling is happy for her, but she is more worried about her younger brother. After Yu Jiao is recognized by her biological father, the relationship between her and Zhe Ge'er will no longer count.
Seeing Yu Fuling looking at her eagerly, looking a little pitiful, Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I'm not leaving right away. I said I would take you to the capital, and I won't break my promise. Tomorrow you can find me in Huaihua Lane. I'll stay there temporarily."
Yu Fuling smiled, "Okay."
"I'm leaving." Yu Jiao said again.
Yu Mengshan looked at her and said what Song Shi had not finished, "If you miss us, come back and visit us."
Yu Jiao hummed lightly, turned around, and followed Liu Ziqi out of the yard.
There was a carriage parked outside the door. Liu Ziqi stretched out his hand. Yu Jiao glanced at him. Liu Ziqi smiled at her warmly, with doting and sincerity in his smile. Yu Jiao took his hand and got into the carriage.
Before lowering the curtain, Zhang stepped forward hesitantly, "Yu Jiao, is the third brother working with you in Qixun County?"
Country women have rough voices, and Zhang's voice was extremely soft at this moment. She called Yu Jiao's name very softly, and it sounded more awkward than ever before. Yu Jiao's current identity made Zhang feel that calling her by her name was an insult, and she didn't dare to call her Meng girl as she did before.
"Third brother is helping me. He went to Jiangnan some time ago and will be back soon." Yu Jiao said, "Aunt, Third brother should come back to see you in two days. Do you not want Third brother to help me anymore?"
Yu Jiao's expression remained the same as usual, even the way she addressed Zhang remained the same. However, Zhang did not dare to speak to her as familiarly as before, because of her background. Invisibly, she felt that Yu Jiao looked very noble at the moment.
Zhang shook her head and quickly denied, "No, I'm naturally relieved that my third brother is working with you."
How could Zhang not be happy? These words were simply a reassurance. With Yu Jiao's current status, her third brother would naturally have a bright future if he followed her. She was really lucky!
"Drive slowly on the road." Zhang said with a smile again.
Yu Jiao looked back and lowered the curtain as Song and Yu Fuling looked at her and said goodbye to her.
Liu Ziqi whispered to his men outside to drive the car, and all the guards mounted their horses. Many families in Qingyu Village stood at the door and watched, whispering and speculating about which wealthy family the Yu family had hooked up with.
Yu Ruhai was filled with regret, needless to say. He blamed everything on Yu Zhoushi. When he heard Yu Zhoushi scolding the people from the first and second houses, he kicked over the water tank in the yard and shouted angrily, "Shut up! You still have the nerve to scold the second son's wife. If it weren't for you, my Yu family wouldn't be in this situation!"
Yu Zhou was furious but did not dare to argue with Yu Ruhai. She had never expected that Yu Jiao would have such a horrifying life story. In the end, all her plans were in vain.
Yu Ruhai cursed at her in a low voice, "Stupid woman!" The Yu family could have soared to the sky, but this opportunity was ruined by this stupid woman with evil intentions. Fortunately, Yu Jiao has a good relationship with the second house, so there is still a chance. As long as the people in the second house can get in touch with Yu Jiao, the Yu family can still get on the big tree of the Second Assistant, Yu Ruhai thought without giving up.
He looked at Yu Fuling with a kinder look than ever before, "Fuling, tomorrow you go see Yu Jiao, but you must talk to her nicely and ask her to take you to the capital together, so that you can help Fifth Brother have a good future."
Yu Fuling looked at Yu Ruhai with an indescribable look and said nothing.
Yu Ruhai didn't find it strange and went back to his room to apply medicine on his wounds.
The clatter of horse hooves raised a cloud of dust as they drove further and further away from Qingyu Village. The interior of the car was very quiet. After Yu Jiao got in the car, she didn't say a word and didn't ask anything.
Liu Ziqi knew that she was very unfamiliar with him, even a little resistant to him, but he believed that as they spent more time together, this sense of strangeness would disappear. He wanted Yu Jiao to trust him wholeheartedly like Su Jian did when she was a child, and to rely on him as her brother no matter what happened or when.
"Would you like some snacks?" Liu Ziqi broke the silence. He took out a box of snacks and placed it on the low table in the car. He said warmly, "I brought this from the capital. Do you like it?"
