Not long after Yu Jiao and Liu Yaoyu changed their clothes, Liu Ziqi came over.
"Big brother." Liu Yaoyu shouted with a happy face, and then said: "Don't they say that the water and soil in the south of the Yangtze River nourish people, big brother, why did you get so dark this time?"
Liu Ziqi smiled, and his previous annoyance was gone: "You've been out in the sun all day, so you're naturally tanned." He looked at Yu Jiao and saw that she had also changed into the dress he had someone send from Jiangnan. He said: "I'm busy with work, so I asked others to buy the clothes and jewelry. Do you like them?"
"I like it." Liu Yaoyu said very sweetly: "Big brother always wears new clothes and jewelry from Jiangnan. They are very beautiful."
Yu Jiao also said, "I like it." From the moment Liu Ziqi entered the room, she noticed that her elder brother, who was always dressed neatly, looked exhausted. His clothes were covered with dust, and even his hair was covered with traces of mud and sawdust. It was obvious how hurriedly he rushed back from Jiangnan. Yu Jiao felt both guilty and uneasy.
Liu Ziqi nodded: "As long as you like it." He looked at Liu Yaozhen who was sitting on the couch and said with concern: "Father told me in his letter, elder sister, you just need to stay at home and take care of the baby. The child will be taken care of by uncle in the future and will not lack anything. If you don't want to get married again, you can live in the mansion for the rest of your life. Don't be afraid of what others say. Our girl doesn't need to compromise."
Liu Yaozhen felt warm in her heart, and she touched her belly with some moisture in her eyes. She smiled and whispered, "Why are you saying the same thing as Third Sister? I am a blessed person, and this child is also a blessed person."
Liu Yaozhen was completely relieved by Liu Ziqi's words. She no longer had any worries. Although she knew that her father and mother would never force her to remarry, Ziqi was the legitimate son of the family. If she lived at home with the child for three to five years, it would be fine. But if she lived there for a lifetime, it would always be criticized.
But her brothers and sisters were all very good, and they tried every means to help her and accompany her out of the difficulties. Liu Yaozhen now firmly believed that things would get better and better in the future. Even without Cui Mubai, she could raise the child by herself, teach him (her) how to behave in the world, and how to read and write.
Liu Ziqi sat for a while and said to Yu Jiao before leaving: "Third sister, come with me to Fufeng Pavilion."
Yu Jiao had a feeling that it was finally coming, she took a deep breath and followed Liu Ziqi out of Furong Courtyard.
While walking on the road, Liu Ziqi looked down at Yu Jiao, and seeing the little girl's face as if facing a great enemy, he secretly found it funny. He deliberately kept a blank expression and did not speak the whole way.
After returning to Fufeng Pavilion, Liu Ziqi asked Yu Jiao to sit first. He went back to his room and changed into casual clothes, a crescent-colored long gown. He washed his face and hands before returning to the outer room.
"Big brother." Yu Jiao called out a little stiffly. Thinking of Liu Ziqi's hard work in rushing back, she hurriedly asked, "Are you tired, big brother?"
Liu Ziqi found it even more amusing. He lifted up his coat and sat down on a chair: "It's not so bad. Only two horses died."
Yu Jiao felt even worse after hearing this. She said with a guilty conscience, "The marriage was arranged in a hurry. The wedding date was set by the emperor..." She gritted her teeth and put the blame on Emperor Mingzheng. Yu Jiao couldn't say anything more. She whispered, "I'm sorry, big brother, for making you rush back in such a hurry."
Liu Ziqi sighed softly, handed her a cup of tea, and looked at Yu Jiao with tender eyes: "I only ask you one question, do you want to marry Yu Qizhe?"
Yu Jiao replied seriously, "Yes." She did. Although the relationship between her and Yu Qizhe was still immature, they had been through so much together. After coming to the capital, she had also seen those so-called young masters of aristocratic families, but Yu Qizhe was always different in her heart. He would make her blush and her heart beat fast, just like when they first met.
Liu Ziqi's expression softened and he patted Yu Jiao's head. "If you want to marry, then marry."
"Ah?" Yu Jiao was a little unresponsive for a moment.
Liu Ziqi chuckled and deliberately asked, "Don't you want to? Then I will ask my father to go to the palace to find a way to ruin the marriage. Even if it means disobeying the order, I will not let you marry."
