Chapter 577 The Master Loves to Make Money (Part 3)

Wu Yi rubbed his eyes which were slightly bloodshot, women were too delicate and troublesome, Prime Minister Shen asked him to look after Su He, in order to save trouble, Wu Yi placed her in the yard, and ordered the servants and maids in the yard to watch over Su He and not to leave the house, to avoid any trouble.

But I didn't expect that someone in the yard could cause a nearly fatal mess.

Prime Minister Shen only said that people in the palace should not see Su He, so as not to expose Su He's background, but he never said that she should be locked up. Wu Yi thought for a moment, "Okay, didn't that female doctor Yu say that she would not stay in the capital for a long time? It's okay to let them get along well."

On the other side, Chen Wan and Yu Jiao returned to the Chen Mansion. After sending the servant from the Wu family away, Yu Jiao returned to the Liu family.

The gatekeeper didn't dare to close his eyes and kept the door open for Yu Jiao. When he saw Yu Jiao coming back, he went to the East Garden to report back to Madam Liu. Madam Liu had not slept well until she heard the servants say that Yu Jiao had returned. Only then did she fall asleep peacefully.

After returning to Yingyue Pavilion, Yu Jiao let Jianjia and Bailu go and rest. After she washed up and went to bed, it was already slightly light in the sky. Yu Jiao closed the curtains and fell into a deep sleep.

It was already afternoon when Yu Jiao woke up. She was a little hungry. The small kitchen had already prepared the food. Seeing Yu Jiao wake up, Jianjia hurriedly asked people to serve the meal.

"The Second Miss came here at noon. Seeing that you were asleep, she told the servants not to disturb you and went back to the East Garden." Jianjia said while serving food to Yu Jiao.

Yu Jiao nodded and asked, "Has Big Brother returned home?"

"I heard from the servant in the next courtyard that the young master will not be able to come to the mansion until the evening." Li Jing finished speaking and then asked in a low voice, "Miss's visit last night was related to that doctor Wang again, wasn't it?"

Yu Jiao shook her head, knowing that he was wary of Wang Min just like she was. "It's not Wang Min, it's that someone in the Wu family is sick again, and they asked me to go over and see the doctor."

After dinner, Yu Jiao said to Jian Jia, "Go to the Madam's courtyard and tell her that I want to go to Kanjing Hutong to visit my brother Yu and see if Madam will allow me to leave the house."

Jianjia hurried to the East Garden and returned in a cup of tea to tell Yu Jiao, "Madam has allowed Miss to leave the house. But Madam asked me about Miss's visit last night. I took the initiative to say that you were invited by Miss Shen to see Miss Wang's Xueyan last night."

"That's a good reply." Yu Jiao didn't want to let Madam Liu know that she went to the Wu family for medical treatment. She still felt closer to Liu Ziqi, so she would rather let her elder brother know about these things.

Because they were going to Kanjing Hutong, Yu Jiao asked Jianjia to pack some things. The maid in her yard who was good at needlework helped make two pairs of knee pads. Yu Jiao wanted to take them to Yu Qizhe. It was cold in winter, and Yu Jiao was worried that his legs and feet would get frozen if he sat for a long time reading.

Yu Jiao took out some silver bills from the money box, thought for a while, and then took out several dozen taels of silver. She called Jianjia and Bailu into the house and divided the dozens of taels of silver between them.

But the two of them refused to accept it no matter what.

Yu Jiao said, "You have worked hard in going out with me to see patients. Please accept this money. Sister Fuling also gets medical fees when she helps me during my visits." She was actually not used to rewarding servants as a master. Yu Jiao did not do this to buy people's hearts with money. Jianjia and Bailu were both very nice. It would be much harder to follow a master like her who liked to go out than to serve those young ladies from wealthy families.

At first, Jianjia and Bailu were just following the eldest master's arrangement to serve Yu Jiao, but as they got along better day by day, they found more and more sincerity in their feelings for each other. Although the third young lady grew up in the countryside, she was not petty at all and had a gentle and transparent personality.

If an ordinary person's background suddenly changes, and she suddenly becomes a lady from a powerful family, she will inevitably become arrogant and complacent, not to mention that she is doted on by the eldest son.

But the Third Miss had never been bossy to the servants like them. Jianjia didn't know what she was like before, but she felt that the Third Miss should not have changed, always consistent, and maintained her original heart.

"Thank you, young lady." Jianjia took the silver with a smile.

Seeing that she accepted it, Bai Lu took her own share as well.

Yu Jiao said happily, "When my paper business is successful, I will increase your monthly salary so that we can all become rich together."

Jianjia laughed out loud, and even Bailu, who had a slightly colder temperament, laughed. Their master was a man who loved to make money.

Yu Jiao closed the money box and left Yingyue Pavilion with Jian Jiabai. Although Li Jing wanted to follow her out, he was kept in the yard by Yu Jiao.

Just as they reached the screen wall, before Yu Jiao got on the carriage, a charming voice suddenly rang out, "You're leaving the house without taking me with you!"

Yu Jiao looked back and saw Liu Yaoyu and her maid walking towards her quickly. She said angrily and laughed, "If I hadn't heard this from my mother, would you have left me alone and gone out to play?"

Yu Jiao smiled and said, "Second sister, you wronged me. I went to Kanjing Hutong to look for Yu's elder sister, not to go out to play."

Liu Yaoyu took her arm and said, "I don't care. I want to go with you."

Yu Jiao was dragged onto the carriage by her and smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's go together."
