Yu Qizhe frowned slightly, with a hint of impatience on his face. Yu Jiao noticed this and gently touched his arm.
Yu Qizhe patiently said, "If you want to help Concubine Xue out of trouble, you should exhaust all means to get her to help you, instead of asking her here whether she will help you."
Then, without waiting for Xue Qingshang to say anything, Yu Qizhe took Yu Jiao's hand and said, "We should go pay our respects to our father and mother."
After watching the two people get on the carriage and leave, Xue Qingshang's maid stepped forward and asked cautiously: "County Lady, are we going back to the mansion?"
Xue Qingshang shook her head. She seemed really stupid. She had been protected by her elder sister for too long. When something happened, she became at a loss and even asked such stupid questions.
"Let's go to Prime Minister Shen's residence." Xue Qingshang said.
In the carriage, Yu Qizhe wrapped Yu Jiao's slightly cold fingers in his palm, looked sideways at her still pale face, and said, "The one in the palace doesn't want Xue Rong's child to be born. Even if you went to Changle Palace last night, the child can't be saved."
The one in the palace? Is it Cheng Ying or Emperor Mingzheng?
After all, it was Cheng Ying's idea to intercept her in the palace the night before. Could it be that Cheng Ying was afraid that the child born by Xue Rong would be made the crown prince by the emperor, so she deliberately caused Xue Rong to have a miscarriage?
"You don't like to get involved in the palace's affairs. If she comes to see you again in the future, you don't have to see her." Yu Qizhe held her hand and said softly, "I have asked someone to repair the shop at Wanfu Bridge. If you want to practice medicine, you can go there and sit in the clinic after you have given her a name and a plaque."
Yu Jiao knew that he was trying to make her feel better, so she smiled at Yu Qizhe and said, "Okay."
"You seem to be very tolerant towards Princess Changle." Yu Qizhe suddenly said.
Yu Jiao's voice was a little soft, "Her sister treats her very well. Something happened suddenly in the palace, so I think she was frightened."
Xue Qingshang had never hurt Yu Jiao. Yu Jiao even admired Xue Qingshang a little. If someone else had the same background as Xue Qingshang, they would probably be more arrogant. But Xue Qingshang was just a little conceited because of her talent. She did not look down on those women whose family background was not as good as hers.
Perhaps due to his upbringing, Xue Qingshang possesses a rare kind of innocence and straightforwardness.
"The Princess of Changle County was just protected too well by Concubine Xue, and she rarely saw the dark side of this world. If Concubine Xue were to remain imprisoned, she... would probably be forced to grow up." Yu Jiao sighed.
Yu Qizhe remained silent. Xue Rong was like a well-protected flower kept in a shed, which would be at a loss when suddenly encountered wind and rain.
Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes slightly and looked at Yu Jiao. He didn't like the situation where he could only shine brightly when being pampered.
Some people are like weeds and flowers growing on the roadside. They stretch their heads to reach for sunlight when it is cloudy, and take root to absorb nutrients when the wind and rain come. They are full of resilience and never rely on others.
Even if you accidentally fall into the mud, you can rack your brains to think of ways to save yourself.
"Xue Rong has been favored in the harem for many years. She is not without means to protect herself. She couldn't even save her own child. Don't blame yourself." Seeing that Yu Jiao's face was still a little pale, Yu Qizhe no longer mentioned Xue Qingshang, and comforted her in a gentle voice.
Yu Jiao looked unhappy, not because of Xue Qingshang's accusation. When Xia Ning stopped her and took her to Silijian that night, she had already realized that Xue Rong's affairs were not something she could interfere with.
Although I feel guilty towards Xue Rong and the child, that comes from my professional ethics as a doctor and my empathy as a human being.
She felt complicated, mostly because she was thinking about her senior brother and the medical dispute in her previous life.
This made Yu Jiao feel a little tired. She leaned against the wall of the car and didn't want to talk anymore. Her senior brother's matter might become a secret deep in her heart. She didn't know how to mention it to others, and she couldn't say it out loud.
Yu Qizhe did not speak again. He vaguely felt that something was wrong with Yu Jiao. He had clearly seen her changes in the carriage just now. When being accused by Xue Qingshang, Yu Jiao's face turned extremely pale, and she even seemed to be shaky. The expression on her face was fragile and broken.
There was even a hint of fear mixed with the sadness, as if I was thinking of someone or something.
Yu Qizhe felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't find the source of the discomfort. He could only attribute it to the fact that he felt distressed when he saw Yu Jiao's expression.
The carriage arrived at Yong'an Lane. It was not much different from before, except for the red silk cloth and red lanterns hung above the door. It was obvious that there had been a happy event in the family in the past two days.
As soon as Yu Jiao and Yu Qizhe got off the carriage, Song Nian opened the door to greet them. He also smiled and called Yu Jiao "Madam" and greeted her.
Yu Qizhe took Yu Jiao's hand and walked towards the main room, asking, "Have father and mother had breakfast?"
"They have already used it. They are sitting in the main hall now." Song Nian paused and said, "The old man and the old lady are all here too."
Yu Qizhe hummed calmly, turned his head and said to Yu Jiao: "Don't worry about them."
Yu Jiao responded. Back then, when they were in the Yu family, they couldn't do anything to her, let alone now that they were in the capital, and they didn't live in the same place.
