Gu Yun also nodded seriously, which was rare.

"Son, your mother even told lies for you. Yu Jiao will come to our house in two days." Lady Annan Hou said with a smile.

Gu Yun came back to his senses and raised his eyebrows, "Mom, what lie did you tell?"

"It's nothing. I just said that I wasn't feeling well and asked Yu Jiao to come to my house to see me." Lady Annan Marquis advised, "When Yu Jiao comes to our house, you have to pay more attention to her."

"Why did you lie to her and trick her into coming to our house?" Gu Yun said, "Yu Jiao is now the third daughter of the Liu family, and you still let her practice medicine in our house. If people outside knew about this, I don't know what would be spread."

Although my mother just wanted to coax Yu Jiao to visit Marquis Annan's residence, if outsiders heard about it, they would think that my mother was close to Yu Jiao just to order her to see patients.

Seeing that Gu Yun was thinking about Yu Jiao, Annan Marquis's wife smiled and said, "Mother won't tell anyone outside. The servants in our house are also very tight-lipped. Yu Jiao is a smart child, so she won't make a big fuss about it."

Gu Yun frowned and nodded. After returning home, he went straight to the martial arts training ground. His mother's words made him confused.

Gu Yun was sweating profusely after practicing and lay on the ground, looking at the sky in the distance. Yu Jiao's face appeared in his mind, and her appearance at many moments.

When eating, it looks like the little white rabbit that Gu Yun raised in Lingnan, nibbling grass in small bites. It is so well-behaved that it can melt one's heart.

When she smiles, her eyebrows are curved, sweet and cute like a crescent moon, and a faint dimple appears at the corner of her lips, which makes people feel better unconsciously when they look at her.

When she doesn't want to talk to people, her face looks cold and distant, and her pair of dark, round, bright almond-shaped eyes are so clear that people can't help but want to provoke her.

Gu Yun couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, does he like Yu Jiao?

Of course he likes her. She is Su Jian, how could he not like her?

But whether he loved her as a younger sister, or... wanted to marry her, Gu Yun himself couldn't figure it out.

He has never liked a woman in his life and has no idea what it feels like to like someone.

Even after the sweat on his body disappeared and he felt a little chilled by the cold wind, Gu Yun still couldn't figure out the problem.

In the evening, the maid of Baoshou Hall, following the instructions of Old Madam Liu, invited Yu Jiao to have dinner in Baoshou Hall.

The old lady liked quietness. Because she worshipped Buddha and ate vegetarian food every day, she didn't want to force other people in the mansion to eat vegetarian food with her, so other people ate in their own courtyards.

Because she called Yu Jiao over, the old lady specially asked the kitchen to prepare meat dishes.

"Look at your thin wrist. Eat more. You are growing up now." Old Madam Liu said lovingly.

At the ancestral hall, the old lady decided to let Yu Jiao continue to use her current name, saying that she was afraid that Yu Jiao would not be used to the name change. The old lady treated her very well, and Yu Jiao could feel it in her heart.

Yu Jiao nodded with a smile. Seeing that the old lady put down her chopsticks after eating only a few bites of vegetarian food, she also said with concern, "Grandma, you should eat more too."

"I'm old and have a poor appetite. It's hard to digest if I eat too much at night." The old lady said with a smile.

Mother Liu brought in two bowls of blood swallows, placed one bowl in front of Yu Jiao, and served the other bowl to old lady Liu. The old lady only drank two sips, waved her hand, took out a handkerchief from her sleeve, covered her mouth with her hands, and began to cough softly.

Mother Liu quickly calmed the old lady down, and Yu Jiao also put down the spoon, poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old lady, "Grandma, drink a cup of water to moisten your throat. Maybe the blood swallow is greasy to your throat."

Madam Liu recovered, took the tea bowl and drank water to clear her throat, signaling Yu Jiao not to worry. She said, "It's an old illness, it's nothing serious, sit down and eat."

Mother Liu took the blood swallow away and said with some concern, "Shall I go and make you a bowl of medicine prescribed by Imperial Doctor Wang?"

Madam Liu nodded. After Madam Liu left, Yu Jiao asked, "Grandma, what is the old illness you are talking about?"

Madam Liu's throat started to itch again. She coughed for a while before saying, "I always have a cough in the winter. Maybe it's because I'm old. I asked Doctor Wang from the Imperial Hospital to see me. He said it's a stubborn disease and can't be cured."

Yu Jiao sat down next to the old lady and said, "Open your mouth so I can see."

Although Mrs. Liu was puzzled, she still opened her mouth in cooperation.

Yu Jiao took the candle from the table, looked closer, grabbed the old lady's wrist, and said, "Grandma, let me check your pulse."

Madam Liu was a little surprised and asked, "Third girl, do you know medical skills?"

Yu Jiao nodded and said, "I have been learning medicine since I was young, and I was a doctor in Qingzhou."

"Why didn't Ziqi tell us about this?" Old Madam Liu patted Yu Jiao's hand. "There are few female doctors in Taiyan. It must be difficult for women to practice medicine, right?"

Yu Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, "Not bad." She took her hand back, "Grandma, let me listen to your lungs."

She leaned over to Madam Liu's chest and listened to the position of her left and right lungs for a while. Madam Liu touched her hair. She had grown older over the years and inevitably had some of the smell of an old person. Few children were willing to be so close to her.

The girl Yaoyu likes the hustle and bustle, and doesn't like the smell of sandalwood that fills the house. She seldom comes to Baoshou Hall.
