Yu Jiao avoided her hand and took a step back, looking at Yang Jiyan with cold almond-shaped eyes, still without saying a word.
Yang Jiyan looked embarrassed for a moment, and Yu Fuling hurriedly explained, "My sister's throat was injured, and now she can't speak. She doesn't blame you."
Yu Fuling's words gave Yang Jiyan a way out, and she pulled the corners of her lips stiffly.
Madam Mu tried to smooth things over, "He was fine when he came back yesterday, but after a night he became speechless. I just asked Yu to eat a bowl of Guiling Gao, hoping he would get better soon."
Mu Yan looked at Yu Jiao with concern and said, "Since your throat hurts, don't talk."
He was so angry yesterday, but today when he saw Yang Yuanchen coming to him in person, his expression looked much better.
Yang Yuanchen frowned slightly, feeling worried. Xiao Ning couldn't stay in Qingzhou Prefecture for too long, so he found a steel-making master overnight, hoping to make the things Yu Jiao wanted as quickly as possible. But now she was voiceless and couldn't speak, so how could he instruct the steel-making master to make those objects?
It's all Young Marquis Gu's fault. Why did he pinch the girl's neck for no reason? In the end, they are in trouble.
"My wife took the medicine you prescribed yesterday and felt much better. She praised you for a long time and asked me to ask you to come to your house again today to check her pulse." Yang Yuanchen didn't want to mention Xiao Ning, Young Marquis Gu and others, so he used Madam Yang as a cover, thinking that Yu Jiao was so smart that she would definitely understand what he meant.
Yu Jiao also wanted to stay away from the troubles in the Yang Mansion as soon as possible and help Xiao Ning heal his disabled hand, so she nodded.
"In that case, I'll trouble you two ladies to go to your house again." Seeing her accept, Yang Yuanchen smiled and pointed to the pile of gifts on the table, saying, "I heard that your four brothers are coming to Qingzhou Prefecture for the provincial examination. Here are two pieces of Yujiangsong ink and two Huizhou colored porcelain purple-hair brushes. It's my little token of appreciation."
Yu Fuling didn't know whether she should accept this gift or not, so she looked up to see Yu Jiao's expression.
Yu Jiao nodded slightly at her. She and Fuling had suffered so much in the Yang Mansion, so she had nothing to be embarrassed about accepting these things.
Yu Fuling thought about how Yu Jiao dealt with people like Prefect Yang, then bowed and thanked Yang Yuanchen.
Mu Yan ordered the maid serving in the room to send the purple-hair brush and Yujiangsong ink to Yinfengyuan.
"Madam is still waiting in the mansion, so I won't sit here any longer." Yang Yuanchen bowed and said to Mu Yan and the third master of the Mu family.
The third master of the Mu family hurriedly stood up to see him off. He was only a sixth-rank official in the prefecture, and Yang Yuanchen was his immediate superior, so it was inevitable that he had to be more humble.
Madam Mu San originally wanted to go with them, but when they got outside the mansion, Yang Yuanchen saw that she was also going to get on the carriage and said, "Don't bother Madam Mu San. I will take good care of Miss Yu and her sister this time."
Madam Mu stopped moving, and Master Mu hurriedly said, "Madam Yang will take care of her, so you don't need to go with her."
Mu Yan looked at him disapprovingly, walked up to him and said to Yang Yuanchen, "The Yu sisters are unfamiliar with the place, so it would be better for them to have someone they know around them. Besides, the Third Madam was here yesterday, and the two girls came back with injuries all over their bodies."
Yang Yuanchen heard the dissatisfaction in his words and smiled bitterly, "Yesterday was just a misunderstanding. Don't worry, I will never let Miss Yu and her sisters suffer injustice in our Yang Mansion again."
Seeing that Mu Yan was still worried, Yang Yuanchen had no choice but to look at Yu Jiao and said, "Miss Yu, do you want the Third Madam to accompany you?"
Yu Jiao smiled and shook her head at Mu Yan.
Seeing her statement, Mu Yan had no choice but to say, "Forget it then." He then said, "Let the maid follow."
Yang Yuanchen did not refuse again. It didn't matter if she was just a maid. He could just send her away casually.
Mu Yan pointed to two clever maids and followed Yu Jiao to Yang Mansion.
