Chapter 917: Appeasement

If she could meet Liu Sanniang and Fei Ge'er in Huairou, it would be God's will. If she couldn't meet them, she shouldn't force it. She and Liu Sanniang didn't have any mother-son relationship, she just missed Fei Ge'er.

"Have you ever exchanged letters with my elder brother?" Yu Jiao asked casually.

Gu Yun glanced at Yu Jiao, almost doubting whether she knew that Liu Ziqi had gone to Lingnan, and quickly responded, "I wrote a letter. He is doing well outside. You don't have to worry about him."

Yu Jiao nodded and calculated the time silently in her mind, "When I return from Pingliang Prefecture, my elder brother should be able to return from Jiangnan, right?"

Gu Yun felt relieved when he heard her say that. Yu Jiao was smart, and he was really afraid that she would notice something.

"Zi Qi said in the letter that he had a lot of things to do in Jiangnan, so he might have to stay for a while longer, and it was not certain when he would return to Beijing."

With the help of his father's personal soldiers, Liu Ziqi has entered the Lingnan military camp, but it is not easy to take over the military power of Lingnan. Emperor Mingzheng also sent Xia Linan to Lingnan to supervise the army. Only by finding a way to use Baiyue to get rid of Xia Linan can the military power of Lingnan be truly used by Liu Ziqi. Fortunately, his father's confidants in the military camp are willing to assist Liu Ziqi.

Yu Jiao really missed her brother Liu Ziqi, and hoped that everything would go well for him in Jiangnan and that he would return to Beijing as soon as possible.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Yaoyu asked with a smile, shaking the silver bell bracelet on her wrist. "Is it beautiful? I asked the stall owner to make one for you, too. One for each of us three sisters."

She spread out her palm and put the other silver bell bracelet on Yu Jiao's hand without saying anything. After putting it on, she held Yu Jiao's wrist with satisfaction, "The red bracelet really suits you. I picked it for you."

Yu Jiao smiled and thanked Liu Yaozhen, then plucked the silver bell on the bracelet. She was a little dazed listening to the crisp sound of the silver bell. In her previous life, she also had a red bracelet that she often wore. The bracelet was strung with sandalwood beads, which were given to her by her grandfather. She and her senior brother Fu Chuan each had one. It was said that the beads were carved from thousand-year-old sandalwood and had a faint scent of amber.

Touching the string of silver bells, Yu Jiao felt a little lost. She still liked the sandalwood bracelet she had before more. It was a pity that the bracelet had probably been burned to ashes along with her body.

"I'm a little hungry again. Shall we find a place to eat something?" Liu Yaoyu touched her flat belly and said coquettishly.

Liu Yaozhen tapped her forehead lightly. "When we were having dinner at the inn just now, you looked like you had no appetite. How come you're hungry again after such a short while?"

Liu Yaoyu said, "I have been sitting in the carriage for a whole day. When I arrived at the inn, I couldn't eat anything. I felt better after vomiting."

She hugged Liu Yaozhen's arm and shook it, "Good sister, I feel hungry now." At the same time, she winked at Yu Jiao, wanting Yu Jiao to speak for her.

Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I didn't eat too much just now. Let's find a restaurant to have some midnight snack, okay?"

Liu Yaozhen looked helpless and looked at Gu Yun. Just as she was about to say something polite, Gu Yun said, "The food at Tianxiang Pavilion in Huairou City is pretty good. Why don't we go and try it together?"

With Gu Yun leading the way, the group soon arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion. Although it was evening, there were still many customers dining in Tianxiang Pavilion. The waiter cleared a table and asked the four of them to sit down with a smile. He served tea and announced the names of the restaurant's signature dishes.

Gu Yun ordered a few signature dishes and specially asked the waiter to add an osmanthus rice cake. He still remembered that when they had dinner together in Fuyun Pavilion in Qingzhou, Yu Jiao was quite fond of rice cake.
