Jianjia brought in some hot water and said with a smile, "Did you sleep well today, young lady? When the son-in-law left, he specifically told the servants not to disturb your sleep."
Yu Jiao rubbed her aching neck and asked, "Did the son-in-law come back last night?"
Jianjia put down the copper basin, walked to the bedside, hung up the curtains, and shook her head, "Someone from the Dali Temple came last night and said there was an emergency, so they sent my son-in-law away. My son-in-law didn't come back at night, and I'm afraid he's still busy with official business in the Dali Temple now!"
Yu Jiao was stunned after hearing this. She unconsciously clenched the mattress under her. Last night...
"After the uncle left last night, did you hear anyone come to the room?"
Bai Lu saw that Yu Jiao looked strange, and her heart tightened. "No, but did someone sneak into the young lady's room? I'll go call Bai Lu. She stayed in the west room to keep watch last night."
Seeing Jianjia hurriedly go out to call Bailu over, Yu Jiao rubbed her brows. Could it be that she was dreaming last night? But it was too real.
Yu Jiao glanced at the bed beside her. Although she was a little drowsy from last night's sleep, her sense of touch was not deceiving. She clearly felt the man's waist...
Having slept with Yu Qizhe for several days, she was already familiar with his breath and figure, so she realized something was wrong last night. The man's chest was more muscular than Yu Qizhe's. But who would sneak into her room in the middle of the night, do nothing, and just lie next to her and sleep all night?
Yu Jiao stood up from the couch, looked around the room, and her eyes fell on the dressing table. She looked through the box containing the jewelry and banknotes, and found that the items inside had not been turned over, and nothing was missing from the room.
At this time, Jianjia came back after looking for Bailu. Bailu had heard what Jianjia said. She said, "After the son-in-law left last night, I didn't hear any other noise. Did the young lady see the thief?"
Yu Jiao hesitated and shook her head, "No."
Jianjia said, "I am not a talented servant, but with Bailu's skills, if someone sneaks into the young lady's room, they should not be able to escape her eyes and ears."
When Yu Jiao heard this, she began to suspect that she had a nightmare because she did not sleep well last night after Yu Qizhe left.
Yu Jiao washed her face with water, hoping to clear her mind. After wiping her face with a towel, she saw that Jianjia and Bailu were still looking serious. She smiled and tried to ease the atmosphere, "I must have had a dream. I thought my son-in-law came back last night."
Jianjia breathed a sigh of relief, "I think it was because when the son-in-law got up last night, he woke the girl up and disturbed her sleep."
Yu Jiao nodded, rinsed her mouth, and sat in front of the dressing mirror. Jian Jia wanted to go forward to tie her hair, but Yu Jiao said, "I have a stiff neck, and my neck hurts a lot. Can you help me massage it?"
Jianjia reached out and pinched him, saying with concern: "Your stiff neck is very serious. I can massage your waist and legs, but why don't you go find a doctor to come to your house?"
Yu Jiao laughed and said, "Have you forgotten what your daughter does?"
"But a doctor cannot heal himself..."
"It's okay. Just pinch it as I say." Yu Jiao directed Jianjia to pinch for an incense stick of time. Finally, her tense and sore neck relaxed.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Yu Jiao only had a bowl of porridge and didn't eat more.
Song Nian came back and said that the Dali Temple was busy with official business, and Yu Qizhe could not spare the time to come back and have dinner with Yu Jiao today.
Yu Jiao asked the kitchen to prepare the food, put it in a lunch box, and asked Song Nian to take it to the Dali Temple.
She did not eat at home, but asked Wei San to prepare the car and planned to go back to Liu's house.
Firstly, she took Tao'er's pulse and changed his medicinal recipe. Secondly, she asked someone to make a few cotton underwear for her nephew Lingbao and sent them to him. She also accompanied Liu Yaozhen and Liu Yaoyu and met her eldest brother.
