Chapter 490: The Real Lady of a Noble Family (VIII)

In the evening, after Fei Ge'er came back from the academy, he was very happy to see Yu Jiao at home. When he heard that Yu Jiao was going to stay at home for a few days, he was even happier. He kept sticking to Yu Jiao and called her "Sister" from time to time, which made Yu Jiao's heart soften.

At dinner time at night, Fei Ge'er kept picking up food for Yu Jiao, acting like a little adult and was very caring.

At night, he even ran into Yu Jiao's room with a small pillow, acting coquettishly and wanting to sleep with her, but was driven back to his room by Liu Sanniang.

Fei Ge'er walked away pitifully holding the little pillow. Yu Jiao looked at him and smiled.

The next day, when Yu Jiao woke up, she saw Fei Ge'er lying on the head of her bed. When he saw her wake up, Fei Ge'er smiled and said, "Sister, get up quickly. Mom has cooked something delicious."

She looked up and touched Fei Ge'er's head, then sat up and stretched. The new mattress was so comfortable that she slept well last night.

After washing up, Fei Ge'er took Yu Jiao's hand and went to the main hall to eat. Liu Sanniang got up early and made bean paste and buns specially. The taste was very good. Of course, a cook in a restaurant must have good skills.

Yu Jiao had nothing to do, so she sent Fei Ge'er to the county school.

Liu Sanniang looked at the backs of the brother and sister holding hands and laughing, and a trace of barely perceptible sadness emerged on her face. Fei Ge'er loved reading very much, and she didn't know if she could still send him to school in Cangwu County.

Liu Sanniang saved all the money that Yu Jiao gave her every time she came home. Now she has several dozen taels. If she finds a job in the future, she should be able to pay the tuition for Fei Ge'er to go to school.

Not long after Yu Jiao sent Fei Ge'er to the academy, Yu Fuling came.

Liu Sanniang was afraid that she might say something wrong by accident if she stayed at home, so she went to work in the dyeing workshop as usual.

There was no one else at home, not even the scary guards and Mr. Liu from yesterday. Yu Fuling couldn't help but relax and spoke to Yu Jiao without restraint.

"Yu Jiao, is that Mr. Liu really your brother?"

Yu Jiao nodded, "It should be true."

"So do you want to go home with him?" Yu Fuling said and then felt that what she said was ridiculous. The Liu family was Yu Jiao's real relatives. How could she not go home when her family members came to find her!

She immediately added, "It's good to go to the capital, so you and I can meet often." After hesitating for a while, Yu Fuling asked the most worrying question in her heart, "Now that your status is different, will you still marry Qi Zhe?"

Yu Jiao raised her head and smiled, "I'm still young, it's a bit too early to talk about marriage now."

She and Yu Qizhe are still in the early stages of dating, at least that's what Yu Jiao thinks. In her opinion, getting married is still a long way off.

The relationship between the two will come naturally and they will get married.

"You... do you think Qizhe has a bad background and is too different from your family?" Yu Fuling obviously misunderstood Yu Jiao's meaning. Even if Yu Jiao looked down on their Yu family, Yu Fuling would not blame her. Her grandparents had always been mean to Yu Jiao, and they had made such a fuss yesterday. If it were her, she might not marry into such a family again.

Although a woman marries her husband, she has to live with her husband's family. If the man's elders do not like her at all and she has a wicked mother-in-law, then even if her husband is a good one, her life will be full of twists and turns and a mess.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Am I the kind of person who despises the poor and loves the rich?" Yu Jiao tapped Yu Fuling's forehead and said seriously, "It is a very sincere thing to like someone. Feelings are pure. If you easily fall in love with someone else just because of their status, then it is not true love. Love can stand the test and cannot be controlled by anything."

Yu Fuling was stunned when she heard what Yu Jiao said. She seemed to understand something, but she couldn't tell what it was. She just felt that it made sense.

She naively put her heart back into her stomach, secretly memorizing every word Yu Jiao said, thinking that when she went to the capital to see Qi Zhe, she would tell him everything exactly as it was.

The thing she was most worried about was answered, and Yu Fuling began to worry about the business in Qiyun County again, "If you go to the capital, what will happen to the paper mill and oil press?"

"Let's leave it to Manager Zhou first." Yu Jiao was very confident in Manager Zhou's ability. Yu Jiao had memorized the production methods of colored paper and Xue Tao paper on pieces of paper and left them in her house in Xixun County. Whether they could be made depended on Yu Zhizhou and Manager Zhou's attempts to explore.

As long as the oil press has a wedge oil press, after the rapeseed harvest, it will only take a few strong men to work on pressing the oil. As for selling the oil after it is pressed or making hair oil, there is no point worrying about that right now.

"Are you so confident that you can hand over all your properties to others to manage? And become a hands-off boss?" Yu Fuling thought that if it were her, she would not be able to be as carefree as Yu Jiao.

Yu Jiao took a sip of tea and said, "It's not like I won't come back. Although the capital is a bit far away, it's only a few days' journey if I want to come back."
