"I'm glad you're okay." Mu Yan was relieved after hearing that, and reminded her, "You can't neglect your throat, don't forget to take medicine, and the same goes for Miss Yu."
Yu Fuling said hurriedly, "Thank you, Master Mu Er, for your concern."
Mu Yan smiled. Although the two girls came from poor backgrounds, their upbringing was impeccable.
He thought that Yu Qizhe and his men would go to the Imperial Examination Hall the next day, so he said, "Your brothers will enter the examination hall the day after tomorrow. I have asked the servants to prepare the bedding and food, so you can rest assured."
It was too troublesome to bring bedding with them, and because they were staying at the Mu family, they saved the money for staying at an inn, so Yu Ruhai asked Yu Qizhe and others to buy bedding in Qingzhou. Yu Jiao originally wanted to accompany Yu Qizhe to buy bedding tomorrow, but she didn't expect Mu Yan to be so thoughtful. She thanked him hoarsely, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Mr. Mu. I thank you on behalf of my brothers."
"Since I brought you kids to Qingzhou, I should take better care of you. You don't have to be polite to me all the time." Mu Yan waved his hand. He wanted to arrange for the servant to find out who was the guest at Yang's Mansion, but he found out nothing.
Chao Yujiao asked, "Did you meet anyone who was a guest at the Yang Mansion today?"
Yu Jiao didn't know why Mu Yan asked about the guests at Yang Mansion. She could not reveal the identities of Gu Yun and the others, so she shook her head.
Mu Yan had no doubts and said bitterly, "If I knew who it was, I would definitely avenge you two. This man is too arrogant. He could even be so cruel to you two little girls."
Seeing that he was speaking up for her and Yu Fuling, Yu Jiao was very grateful and said, "Master Mu, don't take it to heart. It's just a misunderstanding."
Mu Yan didn't find out who that person was at the moment, so he sighed and said, "You've been busy outside all day, go back and rest."
Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling knelt down and bowed to Mu Yan, then returned to Luofuyuan.
Because they had been outside all day, neither of them took the medicine. After returning to the house, Yu Jiao asked the maid to boil the medicine.
After drinking a bowl of tea, Yu Jiao said to Yu Fuling in a hoarse voice, "Take off your clothes and let me see your injuries."
Yu Fuling closed the door and took off her top behind the screen. Yu Jiao looked at her belly. The purple and black scars from yesterday had faded a little and didn't look so scary anymore.
Yu Jiao took out the medicinal wine and said in a hoarse voice, "Push it again."
When Yu Fuling saw the medicinal wine, she thought of the pain she felt yesterday, which was like slaughtering a pig. She resisted, shook her head and begged softly, "Okay Yu Jiao, I won't apply the medicinal wine, can I just take the medicine?"
Yu Jiao smiled, poured the medicinal wine into her palm, and said bluntly, "No."
Seeing that she couldn't escape, Yu Fuling had no choice but to accept her fate and lie on the bed. Yu Jiao was a little gentler than yesterday, but Yu Fuling still cried out in pain.
While waiting for the good medicinal wine, Yu Fuling gathered her clothes and muttered, "Are you deliberately taking this opportunity to seek revenge?"
Yu Jiao washed her hands and looked at her with confusion.
"It's my revenge for tickling you that day!" Yu Fuling said angrily.
Yu Jiao burst into laughter and was about to speak when a maid's voice came from outside, "Miss, Master Yu Wu is here."
Upon hearing this, Yu Fuling stopped joking and quickly put on her clothes. Yu Jiao wiped her hands with a handkerchief and went to open the door.
Yu Qizhe stood outside the door, the afterglow of the setting sun poured behind him, making him look tall and slender and his face even more handsome.
Yu Jiao let him in. Yu Fuling had already opened the window to disperse the smell of the medicinal wine. She turned around and smiled at him, "Little brother, why are you here? Are you tired of reading?"
Yu Qizhe looked at Yu Fuling calmly, but didn't see anything unusual. He asked, "Is Sister injured? Why is there such a strong smell of medicinal wine in the room?"
Yu Fuling hurriedly shook her head and said, "I'm not hurt. I just accidentally spilled the medicinal wine and it made the whole room smell. I'm opening the window to ventilate!"
Yu Qizhe looked at Yu Jiao again. Yu Jiao was wearing a high-necked top today, which covered the scar on her neck, so nothing could be seen.
She thought that Yu Qizhe must have been in the yard when she applied the medicinal wine to Yu Fuling just now, and explained with a smile, "Sister Fuling's leg had a cramp earlier, and I stretched it for her and applied some medicinal wine, but I accidentally spilled it."
Yu Fuling nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes... I don't know what's wrong with my legs these days, they keep cramping. Yu Jiao said that applying some medicinal wine would be better."
Yu Qizhe stopped being suspicious and focused on Yu Jiao's hoarse voice. He asked, "Why is your throat hoarse?"
Yu Jiao responded calmly, "Maybe he got angry, he will be fine in two days."
"Have you taken medicine?" Yu Qizhe asked.
Yu Jiao nodded and said hoarsely, "I ate it."
Yu Qizhe listened to her voice and frowned, "You and sister are both feeling unwell after coming to Qingzhou. Perhaps it's because you are not used to the local climate. It's better for you to return to Changkui as soon as possible."
"That won't work. Wait until you finish the exam and we can go back together." Yu Fuling said immediately, "Besides, Yu Jiao hasn't finished seeing the patient yet."
Speaking of seeing a doctor, Yu Qizhe thought of the valuables sent by Yang Zhifu. He asked Yu Jiao, "Yang Zhifu sent two purple brushes and two pieces of Yujiangsong ink. Did you know that?"
Yu Jiao nodded.
"Is this disease more difficult to treat?" Yu Qizhe said with some concern, "If it is too difficult to diagnose and treat, it is better to return those things."
Seeing that he was worried about her, Yu Jiao smiled and said softly, "It's okay, just take it and use it."
Yu Qizhe poured her a cup of tea and handed it to Yu Jiao, "Just make sure you have a plan in mind. Speak less and drink more water these days."
Yu Jiao became happy. 'Drink more water' is really a universal saying in every world. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll drink more water."
Seeing her smiling inexplicably, her big, round, watery eyes were full of spirit and cunning.
Yu Qizhe was confused, not understanding what he had said that was so funny. He couldn't help but reach out and pinch her slightly chubby face and asked, "What are you laughing at?"
Yu Jiao naturally wouldn't tell her. She noticed that Yu Qizhe was either touching her head or pinching her cheeks recently, and he really treated her as a little girl.
She took his hand away, pointed at the peach on the table and changed the subject, "Do you want to eat peaches?"
Yu Qizhe shook his head and rubbed the back of her delicate hand with his fingertips. Thinking of how he had just told her to talk less, he couldn't help but want to talk to her since he was sitting here alone.
He withdrew his hand and stood up. "You guys take good care of yourselves. I will be entering the Imperial College the day after tomorrow. We will go home together after the exam."
Yu Fuling urged, "Study hard, and Yu Jiao and I will take you to the Imperial Examination Hall on the eighth day of the first lunar month."
After Yu Qizhe left, the maid brought in the medicine and said, "I heard that the girls kept the fact that Master Yu Wu was injured a secret, so I didn't dare to bring in the medicine just now."
The maids in the Mu family are all very smart, sensible, and know when to advance and retreat. Judging from their small details, the Yu family feels that the Mu family will become more prosperous in the future.
