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 nodded, "Brother, go and rest for a while, you must have worked hard along the way."
Liu Ziqi smiled, touched her head and said, "My yard is next to yours. If you have any problems in the future, you can go to find me next door. Even if you have nothing to do or are bored, you can come to me to relieve your boredom."
Yu Jiao smiled and agreed.
Liu Ziqi added, "Gu Yun will come over later. He said he has prepared a gift for you."
Speaking of Gu Yun, Yu Jiao smiled. This man was now her creditor, and she still owed Gu Yun seven or eight thousand taels of silver.
Little did she know that the five thousand taels of silver that Gu Yun lent her were originally Liu Ziqi's money, and the grain that was transported to her from the Suhu River was also transferred by Liu Ziqi from the granary of his own company. Manager Zhou was also from Liu Ziqi's company, not Gu Yun's subordinate.
"I'll come find you later to go to the ancestral hall together." Liu Ziqi said. He was about to turn around and walk out when a figure suddenly rushed in from the gate, followed by two anxious maids. "Brother Tao, slow down."
Tao Ge'er ran in like a gust of wind and rushed to Liu Ziqi's side, and Liu Ziqi grabbed his wrist.
Brother Tao grinned and said with excitement, "Big brother, I want to play with you."
Yu Jiao noticed that this person was almost the same height as Liu Ziqi, but his facial expression was very childish and naive, with a kind of innocence and purity that did not match his age.
Liu Ziqi smiled at Tao Ge'er and said in a gentle voice, "Okay, big brother will play with you."
He took Tao Ge'er's hand, walked towards Yu Jiao, and introduced, "This is the new third sister in the mansion. She will also live in the mansion in the future. Like Yao Yu, she is also a lady in the mansion."
Tao Ge'er bit his fingers and looked at Yu Jiao innocently, his eyes revealing a simple and innocent look.
"He is the child of Nanny Wei who lives by my mother's side. He had some accidents in his childhood and his intelligence is only that of a seven-year-old child." Liu Ziqi explained softly to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao had guessed it just now. After hearing what Liu Ziqi said, she smiled at Brother Tao in a friendly manner and said, "Hello, I'm Yu Jiao."
Although Tao Ge'er felt that Yu Jiao was very unfamiliar, he thought she looked very pretty when she smiled, so he grinned happily and clapped his hands, "I know who you are. You were picked up by my big brother from outside."
Liu Ziqi's face darkened, and he looked at the two maids following Tao Ge'er, "Who taught Tao Ge'er these words?"
The two maids were startled and knelt on the ground, shaking their heads in fear, "We have never said such words in front of Brother Tao."
Tao Ge'er was ignorant of human affairs and didn't know how to read people's faces. He was still smiling and said, "Mother said that my elder brother picked up a younger sister outside and made Madam unhappy."
Seeing that Liu Ziqi still looked very unhappy, Yu Jiao reached out and tugged at his sleeve. Liu Ziqi took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and forced a smile at Yu Jiao, "Don't take Tao'er's words to heart. He is still young and has no ill intentions."
Yu Jiao shook her head and smiled, then said softly, "It's okay."
Liu Ziqi felt extremely distressed. He said that when he brought Yu Jiao to the capital, he would never let her suffer any grievances.
He turned around and touched Brother Tao's head. "Yu Jiao was not picked up from outside. What Wei Ma said is wrong. She is Big Brother's biological sister, just like Yao Yu. If Brother Tao says such things again, Big Brother will be angry."
After hearing this, Tao Ge'er hurriedly went to hold Liu Ziqi's hand and said obediently, "Big brother, please don't be angry with Tao Ge'er. I won't say nonsense again in the future."
He said to Yu Jiao childishly, "Third sister, I'm sorry, Brother Tao said something wrong, please tell big brother not to be angry."
Yu Jiao smiled at him and said, "It's okay, big brother is not angry."
The coldness on Liu Ziqi's face faded a lot, and for fear of scaring Tao Ge'er, he smiled.
When Tao Ge'er saw him smile, the cloudy look on his face turned sunny. He took Liu Ziqi's hand and was about to walk out of the yard, "Big brother, come and play with Tao Ge'er."
Liu Ziqi said to him, "Let Cuizhu take you to my courtyard first, and I will come back to play with you in a while."
Tao Ge'er pouted, responded quite obediently, and followed the two maids to Fufeng Pavilion first.
"Madame Wei is an old lady who has been with mother. She only has this one child. His brain has been damaged by high fever due to neglect in childhood. Mother is very kind to Tao'er, but Madame Wei is arrogant because of her favor. She is ignorant of the immensity of the world and says foolish things. Yujiao, you don't need to take them seriously." Liu Ziqi looked at Yu Jiao gently and comforted her.
As for Tao Ge'er, he really owed him a lot, so Liu Ziqi had done his best to be good to Tao Ge'er over the years. Naturally, he did not want Yu Jiao to have any grudge against Tao Ge'er, so he took great pains to explain.
Yu Jiao chuckled, "I don't mind these at all, brother, there's no need to explain them over and over again. Since Tao'er suffered intellectual impairment due to a high fever when he was young, he must have epilepsy. The maids beside him need to take good care of him. Epilepsy attacks can cause severe convulsions and whole body twitching, leading to convulsions and coma. If there is no one to take care of him during an attack, his life will be in danger."
