He suppressed his anger and looked at Yu Jiao. Seeing that her eyes were very calm, he suddenly thought of many things in the past. She was like this when she was still in Qingyu Village. When the He family came to her house, she came forward to solve the problem herself. It seemed that she was used to not relying on others and never confided these grievances to others.

Yu Qizhe looked at her clean and gentle eyes and felt a slight pain in his heart.

Seeing Liu Yaoyu so angry, Yu Jiao couldn't help but smile. She now has family, love, and so many people who care about her. She is no longer alone in this world after her grandfather passed away and her senior brother left. It feels so good.

Naturally, she had to return the favor to Yang Jiyan for the tricks she used on her. Although most doctors cultivate their character, she was not made of clay, and even a clay figure should have some temper!

No matter how vicious Yang Jiyan is, she is an insignificant person. Yu Jiao will not be sad or upset because of the tricks used by the clown, she will only be angry.

"You're still laughing?" Liu Yaoyu was still indignant and scared. Fortunately, Yu Jiao was fine and was safely brought back to the capital by her elder brother.

She asked Yu Jiao, "What's the matter with the maid that Yang Yanzi mentioned just now?"

"Big brother sent someone to secretly protect me. The bandits she bribed didn't hurt me." Yu Jiao explained softly, "The maid she sent wanted me to help her sisters get back the death contract that sold them from the Yang family. She promised to help me. I asked her to go back to Yang Jiyan and told her that the plan had been accomplished. I wanted to plant a spy, but I don't know how Yang Jiyan saw through it."

Did she run into her in the capital a long time ago? This exposed Debbie and cost the lives of the two sisters.

Yu Qizhe held Yu Jiao's hand tightly, and immediately guessed the reason, saying, "After Young Marquis Gu found out that she bribed the bandits to harm you, she came to me. I went to meet Yang Jiyan. It must have been at that time that she knew that you were fine, so she became suspicious of the maid."

Because Liu Yaoyu was there, Yu Jiao didn't have the courage to ask him why he went to see Yang Jiyan. Was he going to vent his anger for her?

Yu Jiao was a little curious about how Yu Qizhe helped her vent her anger.

"So you knew it a long time ago." Yu Jiao had never thought of telling Yu Qizhe about Yang Jiyan. Even when she had a quarrel with Yu Qizhe when she first arrived in the capital, and she guessed that he went to the residence of Academician Shen because he accepted the note from Yang Jiyan, she never thought of complaining to Yu Qizhe.

Perhaps it was her upbringing that prevented her from gossiping about others behind their backs.

Or maybe, no matter how much time has passed, she is still used to keeping things in her heart and solving them by herself, because after her grandfather passed away and her senior brother was also gone, there was no one in this world who would help her solve her problems.

And because of her reliance on her senior brother, he suffered such a miserable end, so she dared not rely on anyone close to her anymore. She didn't want anyone to be involved in any trouble because of her.

Lu Jin, who was standing by, suddenly realized, "Junior brother, it turns out that the reason Young Marquis Gu beat you up was because of Sister Yu Jiao? But Yang Jiyan hurt Sister Yu Jiao, so why did Young Marquis Gu beat you to vent his anger?"

Yu Qizhe glanced at him indifferently, and Lu Jin immediately knew that he had spoken too much and said something wrong again.

Yu Jiao was startled and asked, "Did Gu Yun fight with you because of this?"

Liu Yaoyu was completely confused. She looked at this and that. All she could think of was that her third sister not only knew Chen Wan for a long time, but was already very familiar with Gu Yun before returning to Beijing. No wonder the young Marquis Gu came with the wife of Marquis Annan and prepared such a generous gift on the day she returned to her ancestral home.

Yu Qizhe heard Yu Jiao calling Gu Yun by name. The two of them were already so familiar with each other that he couldn't tell what he felt. He smiled faintly and said, "It's not as serious as my senior brother said. Fortunately, Young Marquis Gu told me about this. Otherwise, I don't know how long you would have kept it a secret from me."

Yu Jiao said seriously, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, I just can't remember to tell you, and I don't know how to say it."

Yu Qizhe touched her hair and said, "If something like this happens again, be the first to tell me."

A hint of red appeared on Yu Jiao's ears, and she nodded.

Liu Yaoyu felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was a little weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird about it.

Several people had been standing in the teahouse for quite a while. The drinkers dispersed after the people from the East Depot left. Even though they were curious about why Governor Cheng came to the teahouse in person for a girl, no one dared to comment on it at such a time. After all, the East Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard were both feared and daunting.

Only Yu Jiao and a few others were left standing in the hall, which seemed very strange. They did not stay any longer and left the teahouse.

On the way back, Yu Fuling asked curiously, "Who was that man who went to the teahouse with such a big fanfare today? Why do I see people seem to be so afraid of him?"

Liu Yaoyu answered in a low voice, "That person is a popular figure around the emperor, Eunuch Cheng, the seal holder of the Imperial Household Department. Because he is also in charge of the East Factory, he is often respectfully called Cheng Dugong."

Thinking that Yu Jiao had just arrived in the capital, she reminded him, "Third sister, if you meet him in the future, don't offend him. Other people in the capital are easy to deal with, but this Cheng Dugong is very powerful and has a very erratic mood. Some officials don't even know how to offend him, so they are framed by the East Factory and killed. Even father has to avoid his edge."

At this point, Liu Yaoyu paused for a moment, with a hint of anger on her face, and sighed, "When Daddy meets this Governor Cheng in the palace, he will have to let him tease her. Anyway, if you meet him again in the future, Third Sister, you must avoid him."
