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, ...
Gu Yun was also worried and confused. He then remembered that Yu Jiao had sneaked out of the house, but he was still more worried that Yu Jiao would be cold.
When Lady Annan saw Yu Jiao coming out of the compartment, she asked her to sit next to the charcoal basin and said, "Wait until you are warm enough before leaving. I will have someone prepare a carriage to take you back."
Yu Jiao bowed deeply to the wife of Marquis Annan, "I am so sorry. It is because of me that Young Marquis Gu suffered this disaster."
She did this not to make herself feel better. The imperial power was the most supreme existence in the world, and she had no way to remedy the will of the emperor.
Madam Annan took Yu Jiao's hand and sat down, saying, "Thunder and rain are all grace from the emperor. This matter is not your fault, and you don't need to blame yourself. Gu Yun has a reckless personality, and this is what he deserves."
Gu Yun poked his head out from the bed and agreed with a smile, "My mother is right. You have only been in the capital for a short time. You don't know that I am a troublemaker! I have always had a grudge with Qin Guang. Even if he bullied someone else that day instead of you, I would still cripple his hands and feet!"
Yu Jiao noticed that the expression on his face was more lively than when she first arrived, and he was still as energetic as before, so she felt much more relaxed.
Gu Yun continued, "That bastard Qin Guang has done many bad things. Because of his status as the eldest son of the Tongzheng Bo Mansion, others dare not speak out. But I am not afraid of him. Beating people like him is to eliminate harm for the people."
Madam Annan smiled helplessly and said, "I don't know who he got this kind of character that fights for justice from. His father is a calm and steady person, and I am not a flamboyant person, but I raised him to be such a fearless fool!"
Yu Jiao followed with a smile and said, "The young marquis has an open mind and acts in an upright manner. Although he seems to act eccentrically, he is actually a man of great wisdom. Madam Marquis can rest assured."
She wasn't saying nice things. Although their contact was not deep, Gu Yun was a kind-hearted man with masculine spirit. If he was born in troubled times, he would have been a hero.
Gu Yun's face became a little red due to the compliment. He pulled his head back, a blush appeared on the tip of his ears, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Madam Annan glanced at him, smiled at Yu Jiao and said, "Miss San is very perceptive. She can see that my silly son is not a bad person. I hope someone can discipline him so that he can control his temper."
Yu Jiao didn't understand the hidden meaning in Annan Marquis's words, and smiled faintly, "Young Marquis Gu is very good like this, it's rare to have such a pure heart."
She actually hoped that Gu Yun could always be as unrestrained and uninhibited as he is now. Only after going through many hardships in life will a person's edges and corners be gradually smoothed out and his temperament be mellowed.
This is why many people become gentler as they get older, and those who still have their edges are lucky.
Such a young man in fine clothes and a vigorous horse should not become a man whose edges are smoothed out and who has lost his luster.
"Madam said earlier that she was not feeling well. Let me feel your pulse." Yu Jiao was concerned about the health of the wife of Marquis Annan, so she asked, "What are your symptoms? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Madam Annan was well prepared. She readily handed over her wrist and said, "Sometimes I feel tightness in my chest. When I hear the sound of rain and wind, I feel irritated."
Yu Jiao placed her fingers on the pulse, her expression calm. After a long while, she smiled and said, "Madam's pulse is calm and gentle, neither floating nor sinking, neither slow nor rapid, and the pulse is strong. She is in good health. The chest tightness is probably because the doors and windows in the house are closed in winter and the air is not circulating. The ambient sound can indeed affect people's mood. This is not a disease. When it is windy and rainy, Madam can play the piano or paint to relieve the irritability."
The wife of Annan Marquis smiled naturally and said, "We have invited doctors to come and see her, but they can't figure out what the disease is. I feel relieved when the Third Miss says this."
Gu Yun, who was lying on the bed, gave a gloating smile to the wife of Marquis Annan, teasing his mother for lying. She obviously liked to practice martial arts, but she insisted on learning from those weak ladies in the back house, saying that she was sentimental when it was windy and rainy, and that she felt stuffy in her chest.
Yu Jiao’s medical skills are so exquisite that she will definitely be able to see through it at once.
The wife of Marquis Annan glared at him secretly, fearing that Gu Yun would expose her shortcomings. She had a bold personality and loved to wield swords and sticks. She was not the kind of dignified and serious lady at all. Therefore, in recent years, she seldom went out to interact with those female relatives who loved to speak witty words. It was tiring enough for her to pretend occasionally when she went out.
But she saw that Yu Jiao was a quiet and well-behaved person, while Gu Yun's personality was already quite extroverted. If she didn't behave herself a little more, she was afraid that the little girl would be so scared that she wouldn't dare to enter the house.
The sky darkened and the light in the house became dim. The warm yellow charcoal fire in the charcoal basin made a crackling sound of burning. Lady Annan Marquis called someone into the house to light the candles.
Yu Jiao stood up and said goodbye, "Madam, I should go back home."
She looked at Gu Yun on the bed again, "Remember to ask someone to get the prescription I wrote on the table. Take it twice a day after meals."
Gu Yun wanted to get up and send her back personally, but the pain from the wounds on his body became so severe that he could not move. He could only say, "Mother, please help me send Yu Jiao back. Remember to have someone put a charcoal basin in the carriage."
It was indeed getting late and it was snowing. Lady Annan Marquis did not try to persuade him to stay and stood up to see him off.
Yu Jiao said, "Madam, please stay. There is no need to send me a junior." She glanced at Gu Yun on the bed and said, "If Young Marquis Gu feels uncomfortable with his injuries, please send someone to the mansion to inform me."
Gu Yun repeated the words he had said many times before, "I'm in good health, this little injury is nothing, you really don't have to worry about it."
Yu Jiao had already made up her mind to come to Annan Marquis' Mansion to visit Gu Yun in a few days.
She pulled her jacket closer, bowed to the wife of Marquis Annan, and walked outside with Bai Lu.
Gu Yun saw the fox fur cape on the table and hurriedly shouted, "Mom, cape! Let her put it back on!"
Lady Annan Marquis's wife found it amusing to see his anxious look. After the silly boy came to his senses, he actually showed some love for the little girl.
