Xiaodie turned pale with fright. She had never expected that in the blink of an eye, the situation would suddenly change. The two girls from the Yu family were safe and sound, but she was in great trouble.
The master's two trusted servants were former yamen runners and are very skilled in martial arts. If they were beaten with heavy sticks, how would she survive?
She raised her eyes and looked around, hoping that her young lady could come and save her life, but there was no sign of Yang Jiyan anywhere.
She cried and begged for mercy, "Master, Miss Yu did not mean to enter the West Garden, I have nothing to say!"
Yang Yuanchen ignored them completely and frowned as he said to the two tall and strong servants, "If she refuses to confess, just beat her to death with sticks!"
After hearing this, the little maidservant trembled all over and was dragged away by two servants.
Yu Fuling felt quite relieved when she saw this scene. She didn't understand the twists and turns in the backyard of a wealthy family and didn't think too deeply about it. She just thought that this little maid was scheming.
Yu Jiao didn't even look at the little maid. She just remembered Yang Jiyan in her heart. She thought that Yang Jiyan had set up such a sinister trap for no reason and wanted to kill both her and Yu Fuling. She was really vicious.
She looked at the high blue brick walls of the Yang Mansion and secretly warned herself to remember the lesson this time. She was able to escape this time only because of her medical skills and it was really a fluke.
If you enter or leave such a deep backyard in the future, you must be careful at every step.
Madam Yang, who had been standing on the path in the distance, heard the noise and hurried over. She was relieved to see that the two Yu sisters were standing outside the West Garden Gate without any danger.
Seeing her coming, Yang Yuanchen smiled and slowed down his tone, saying, "Mrs. Mu San took the trouble to bring a female doctor to your home to see you. We should really thank her. And the two female doctors Yu and her sister were frightened by a misunderstanding in Xiyuan just now. Madam still needs to comfort them."
Madam Yang heard his sudden change of tone, and although she didn't understand why, she said sympathetically, "I will take Miss Yu and her sisters back to my courtyard. Madam Mu San is still waiting."
Yang Yuanchen nodded and watched the three people leave.
After they walked away, Madam Yang said amiably, "There are some distinguished guests staying in the West Garden. My master usually does not allow anyone to enter. I think he was annoyed when he saw Miss Yu and her partner break into the garden. If he has offended them in any way, please bear with me, Miss Yu and her sister."
"Madam, you are too kind. My sister and I took the wrong road and entered the garden by mistake." Yu Jiao was grateful that Madam Yang protected them when they were bullied by the lawless Marquis Gu in the garden just now. Madam Yang was not aware of Yang Jiyan's intention to harm them, and it had nothing to do with her.
Madam Yang smiled and said, "Madam Mu San must have been getting impatient. It's all Sister Yan's fault. I asked her to take care of you two sisters, but she was so playful that she only cared about herself and left you to the ignorant little maid. I'll scold her when I get back."
Yu Jiao smiled and said nothing more.
The three of them returned to Madam Yang's yard. Madam Mu was indeed getting impatient waiting. She was standing at the door of the room, looking out the gate.
Seeing Madam Yang leading the Yu Jiao sisters over, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "But what happened?"
Madam Yang said hurriedly, "It's not a big deal. Sister Yan was too playful and left Miss Yu and her sister alone. She sent an ignorant little maid to accompany them. She led them in the wrong direction and ran into a foreign guest who was discussing business with my master, which frightened Miss Yu and her sister."
Mrs. Mu San felt relieved after hearing what she said. She had been sitting in the room for a long time, but no one came. She was very uneasy and thought that something big had happened in the Yang family's mansion.
"Sister Yan has been spoiled by me. She was really ignorant today and showed impoliteness in front of Miss Yu and her sisters. I will punish her later." Madam Yang said with a headache.
Madam Mu San smiled and said, "Sister Yan is still young and has not yet married, so it's okay for her to be a little inconsiderate. Sister, please don't punish her for such a small matter. Girls are always lazy at home. When they get married, they will naturally be sensible."
Madam Yang called her personal maid in and whispered a few words in her ear. Soon, the maid came back with something from the storeroom.
Madam Yang opened the red lacquered carved wooden box, smiled and whispered, "This is a pair of jade bracelets that my brother from my mother's family had someone bring me from the northern border. Although it is not a valuable item, it is good because the color is transparent, the beads are round, and the size is average."
She picked up one of them, pulled up Yu Jiao's little hand, and put it on her fair wrist. "Sister Yan is not considerate and frightened you sisters. This is a small token of my love. Please don't despise it, sisters."
Yu Jiao refused, "No, Madam, you don't have to do this."
Madam Yang insisted on putting the jade bracelet on Yu Jiao's hand and said, "My dear child, don't refuse. You are so young, but you have such wonderful medical skills. I like you from the bottom of my heart."
As he spoke, he picked up another bracelet and put it on Yu Fuling's wrist. Yu Fuling retracted her hand.
Madam Mu San smiled and said, "Madam likes you two sisters, so don't refuse."
Madam Yang had already put the bracelet on Yu Fuling's wrist. Yu Fuling looked at Yu Jiao, and Yu Jiao could only say thank you.
She also whispered thanks.
"It's getting late, sister. I won't bother you any longer. Let's get together and talk when you feel better tomorrow." Mrs. Mu San said with a smile when she saw that it was noon and it was almost time for dinner.
Madam Yang nodded and said politely, "When you are free tomorrow, bring Miss Yu and her sister to our house as guests."
Mrs. Mu San responded with a smile.
Madam Yang remembered something and said to the maid, "Go and get the consultation fee!"
She smiled apologetically and said, "I was so busy talking that I forgot to pay Miss Yu the consultation fee."
The old woman quickly went to get the silver note and gave it to Madam Yang.
Madam Yang personally stuffed the banknote into Yu Jiao's hand and said, "I am sorry for having you two sisters come all the way here to diagnose me."
Yu Jiao did not refuse the medical fee like she did with the bracelet before. She raised her hand to take it and put it in her pocket.
Madam Yang personally escorted the three people out of the house. After such a long while, she felt a little tired, but she still had many doubts in her mind. She hurried to the backyard to find Sister Yan.
Yang Jiyan heard the head maid Huamei say that there was a big commotion in the West Garden. The master ordered his trusted servant to guard the gate of the West Garden, as if he was sentencing the Yu sisters. Yang Jiyan was very happy and specially rewarded Huamei with a hairpin.
However, she didn't expect that the father of the two country bumpkins of the Yu sisters, who was supposed to be sent to prison in Xiyuan, suddenly rushed into her yard with a furious look on his face.
"Where is Sister Yan?" After entering the yard, Yang Yuanchen asked angrily to the maid who was sweeping the yard.
