Yu Fuling hurriedly said, "Come in and turn on the light."
After the maid entered the room and lit the lamp, Yu Fuling looked at Yu Jiao and said worriedly, "Your throat..."
Yu Jiao shook her head and said silently, "It's okay."
"What time is it now?" Yu Fuling asked the maid.
The maid replied, "It was just after the twilight hour. The Third Madam came in the afternoon. Seeing that the girls were all asleep, she did not let me disturb you to rest. These supplements and medicines were brought here from what the Third Madam left behind."
There were many gift boxes piled on the table. Yu Jiao took a look and saw that they were all valuable tonic herbs such as ginseng and deer antlers. She said to the maid in a hoarse voice, "Send the tonic back to the third lady."
The little maid recognized her mouth shape and said hurriedly, "The Third Madam asked you to accept it. I dare not send it back."
Yu Jiao's throat was so sore that she stopped talking and packed up all the supplements.
The maid said, "Miss Yu, the food has been warming up on the stove. Because the two girls were asleep, we didn't dare to ask the kitchen to send the food over. Are you hungry now? Do you want me to go get some food?"
Yu Jiao nodded, and the maid went to the kitchen with a lantern.
Yu Fuling poured Yu Jiao a cup of hot tea, "You'd better stop talking with that throat. If you have anything to say, just gesture to me."
Yu Jiao pursed her lips and smiled, then found a piece of paper and pen in the room and wrote, "My throat is fine. I'll be fine in three to five days after taking a few doses of medicine. Don't worry."
She started another column and wrote, "Tomorrow, tell the maids to find some fresh willow branches for me."
Yu Fuling nodded, "Okay." Then she asked doubtfully, "What are you looking for willow branches for?"
Before Yu Jiao could pick up the pen to write again, Yu Fuling said, "Forget it, forget it, I won't ask anymore. It's troublesome enough for you to write."
Yu Jiao looked at her with a smile and put down the pen in her hand.
The maid brought in a food box, laid out the food, and said, "The medicine for the two girls is being boiled on the stove. I didn't dare to boil it before because I was afraid that it would spoil the medicinal properties if I left it there."
Without waiting for Yu Jiao to respond, Yu Fuling quickly said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
She picked up the chopsticks and handed them to Yu Jiao, saying, "From now on, I will do all the talking when dealing with people. You just shut up and wait until your throat gets better before you speak again."
Yu Jiao smiled and nodded.
Knowing that Yu Jiao had a sore throat and that the Yu sisters were all injured, the maid went to the kitchen when cooking in the evening and specifically told the kitchen manager to make the meals they would send to Luofuyuan in the next few days lighter.
The food was light in taste, so Yu Jiao ate more. After the meal, they took some medicine. Since they had slept for the whole afternoon, they did not feel sleepy at all.
Yu Jiao picked up a pen and paper and continued to recite medical skills. Yu Fuling sat beside her and watched carefully. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she would remember it in her mind, thinking that she would ask Yu Jiao after her throat recovered.
I sat there writing and drawing for nearly two hours. It was already late at night and the maids had gone to bed.
Yu Jiao felt a little sleepy. She put down her pen, touched Yu Fuling with her hand, and glanced at the bed.
Yu Fuling understood what she meant. She sorted out the papers that Yu Jiaomo had prepared and said, "It's time to go to bed."
Neither of them slept well that night. Perhaps the events at the Yang Mansion left a shadow on Yu Fuling. She had nightmares intermittently throughout the night, and Yu Jiao was woken up several times by her talking in her sleep.
After washing up and having breakfast in the morning, Yu Fuling asked the maid to pick the willow branches that Yu Jiao wanted. Yu Jiao picked and chose, kept some, and dried them in the yard.
He also found some dry branches in the yard, lit a candle, and after burning them, used them as charcoal pencils to draw tweezers, round needles, angle needles and other objects on paper.
Just as I finished painting, Mrs. Mu San came.
"Have your sisters' injuries healed?" Mrs. Mu San asked with concern.
Yu Fuling quickly imitated Yu Jiao's usual behavior and responded, "I'm much better now. I'm sorry to have worried Third Madam." She glanced at Yu Jiao and explained, "My sister's voice is hoarse and she can't speak. I hope Third Madam won't mind."
Hearing her say that Yu Jiao's voice was hoarse, Madam Mu San said nervously, "Why is it so serious? I have some tortoise jelly in my room, but I forgot to bring some to you yesterday."
Yu Jiao shook her head. Madam Mu San had already hurriedly instructed the maid to get the tortoise jelly.
Yu Jiao pointed to the supplements piled in the room and glanced at Yu Fuling. Yu Fuling said, "Third Madam, my sister and I don't need these supplements. You should take them back."
Madam Mu San said, "These supplements are for you to eat. There are plenty in the mansion's storehouse. Why are you two girls so unfamiliar with them? The Second Master told you earlier that you should treat this place as your own home."
Yu Fuling looked at Yu Jiao, who nodded slightly. Yu Fuling then did not mention the supplements again.
Madam Mu San looked at Yu Jiao and said, "Prefect Yang has brought Miss Yang to the mansion. They came to see you. The Second Master is talking to him in the main hall. Do you want to go and see him?"
Yang Yuanchen came in person, brought generous gifts, and brought Yang Jiyan with him. Madam Mu San naturally thought that they came to apologize for what happened yesterday.
Yu Jiao nodded, guessing that Yang Yuanchen had found a steel smelting master.
Not long after, the maid came back with the tortoise jelly, and Madam Mu asked her to use it before going to the front yard.
Guilinggao is very effective in clearing away heat, reducing irritability and treating mouth and tongue ulcers. However, Yu Jiao's sore throat was caused by being pinched, but she did not refuse Madam Mu's kindness and ate some from the small glass bowl.
After she finished eating, she took the blueprint she had just drawn, folded it in her sleeve, and went to the front yard with Yu Fuling and Madam Mu San.
The third master of the Mu family, who had never been seen before, was also sitting in the hall. He looked very similar to Mu Yan, except that his face was a little younger. He was talking to Yang Yuanchen with a smile.
Madam Mu Er saw Yu Jiao coming in and said with a smile, "Yu girl is here."
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling bowed to everyone in the room and stood aside.
Yang Yuanchen winked at Yang Jiyan who was standing beside him. Yang Jiyan had no choice but to walk forward and apologize to Yu Jiao and the others, "I was not considerate yesterday and did not take good care of you sisters. Father and mother have already scolded me. Miss Yu and sister, please bear with me and do not argue with me who is ignorant."
Yang Jiyan said these words in front of everyone, feeling completely ashamed. However, her father had brought her to the Mu family early in the morning and forced her to apologize to the two country bumpkins. She couldn't disobey her own father, so she could only endure the humiliation and say these words.
Yu Jiao looked at Yang Jiyan indifferently without saying a word.
Yu Fuling had a good impression of Yang Jiyan. She even gave them osmanthus tea yesterday. She did not blame Yang Jiyan for the maid's incident. She said, "Miss Yang, please stop saying that. It was the maid's fault. It has nothing to do with you."
Yang Jiyan concealed the embarrassment in her eyes and said softly, "I hope Sister Yu doesn't blame me."
Seeing that Yu Jiao hadn't said anything, she stepped forward and held Yu Jiao's hand, "Is Yu's sister still angry with me?"
