Yu Jiao narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why is Doctor Song so kind to tell me this?"
Seeing that she doubted his intentions, Song Yuan sighed and said softly, "Miss Yu, there is no need to doubt my intentions. The ancestral pulse classics of my Song family were taken away by Lin Fang. I can't bear to see Miss Yu end up like me. Lin Fang has Wang Min from the Imperial Hospital as his backer, and he is bold. He gave all the medical secrets he collected over the years to Wang Min. The secret technique of cesarean section is too tempting. Lin Fang and Wang Min can't help but be tempted. In short, Miss Yu, be more careful. That's all I have to say."
Yu Jiao smiled and bowed, "Thank you, Doctor Song, for your kind reminder. I will be more careful."
After watching Song Yuan leave, Yu Jiao returned to the yard.
Yang Jiyan asked curiously, "What did Doctor Song want to talk to you about? Speaking of which, Doctor Lin's medical skills are obviously more famous in Qingzhou, but it was Doctor Song who first recognized the medicine you prescribed for cousin Xueyan, and also mentioned that you might be the heir of the Qing Nang Book. Sister Yu Jiao, it turns out that you are a disciple of a famous doctor. How come I have never heard of you saying that?"
When Yu Jiao heard this, a hint of deep thought flashed across her almond-shaped eyes. It seemed that Doctor Song’s words could not be fully trusted.
She replied, "I only had a doctor as my teacher when I was young. My teacher wasn't a famous doctor either. He just wanted to show off in front of Doctor Lin."
Shen Wan smiled and said, “With Miss Yu’s medical skills, even if Master is not a famous doctor, he can still convince people.”
She took out a roll of banknotes from her sleeve, handed it to Yu Jiao, and said, "This is Miss Yu's consultation fee."
Yang Jiyan was drinking tea. Looking at the thick stack of banknotes, she was a little surprised and almost choked.
Yu Jiao took it and counted it carefully, and found that it was as much as eight hundred taels. She looked at Shen Wan and said, "Miss Shen, this consultation fee is too much."
Shen Wan smiled and said, “Not much, not much at all.”
The maid beside her took out two silver notes worth one hundred taels and placed them respectfully on the table.
Shen Wan pushed Yu Jiao in front of her and said with a smile, "This is my intention. Miss Yu saved my cousin's life. It cannot be measured by these yellow and white things."
The eight hundred taels were what Shen Guan had just asked for from the Sun family with her guards. She didn't care about the money that had touched the Sun family's hands. Yu Jiao saved her cousin Xueyan's life, so a thousand taels of silver was nothing.
Yu Fuling was so happy looking at the banknotes that she didn't know what to say. She felt like she had suddenly become rich.
“Miss Yu, please accept it.” Shen Wan said sincerely.
Yu Jiao hesitated for a moment before she took the banknotes on the table. She said, "I will leave Qingzhou in the next two days. However, I have received so much consultation fee from Miss Shen. If Miss Xueyan feels unwell in the future, Miss Shen can send a message to Changkui. I will go to Qingzhou in person and treat Miss Xueyan for free."
"Miss Yu is leaving Qingzhou?"
Yang Jiyan took over the conversation and said, "Sister Yu Jiao's family is from Changkui. She came to Qingzhou this time because she was invited by Master Mu to see my mother and accompany her brothers to the provincial examination. Now that the provincial examination is over, she will go home. I would like to keep her sisters in Qingzhou for a few more days."
Chen Wan tried to persuade her to stay, "Miss Yu, if you don't have anything important to do, you might as well stay for a few more days. I had agreed with Sister Yan to go to the lake in the south of the city with you guys today, but unfortunately something like this happened. I can't go with you guys, which is a pity."
Yu Jiao knew that she was actually worried about what would happen to Wang Xueyan's wound after she left, so she patiently said, "Miss Shen, just rest assured. As long as you follow my instructions to take care of Miss Xueyan's sutured wound, nothing will go wrong. Try to eat lighter meals and avoid eating irritating foods such as leeks, persimmons, fish and shrimp."
Shen Wan wrote them down one by one and sighed, "I feel really uneasy when Miss Yu is not here."
"Miss Chen, trust me, nothing will happen." Yu Jiao comforted, "Even if I stay a few more days, it won't be of much use. Miss Chen is just seeking comfort. Qingzhou is not far from Changkui, and it can be reached in half a day. Even if something happens, I will be able to come from Changkui in time."
Chen Guan looked at the calm expression on Yu Jiao's face and nodded. Having undergone a caesarean section before, she naturally believed in Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao looked at the sky outside and said, "It's getting late. My sister and I will leave first." After staying at the Sun family for such a long time, it was already sunset.
Chen Wan also wanted to deal with the servants who had been kneeling in the courtyard for a day and find out who was behind the murder of Wang Xueyan's child, so she did not try to persuade him to stay. She stood up and said, "I'll see Miss Yu off."
Yang Jiyan also stood up and said with a smile, “Sister Shen, I’ll go back first. I’ll come to visit cousin Xueyan another day.”
"You've been taking a lot of trouble today. We're sisters, so I won't say those polite words to you." Chen Guan said with a smile on her lips.
Yang Jiyan stepped forward, took her hand, and said with a smile, "It's all right. As long as cousin Xueyan is okay, that's all."
Chen Wan escorted the three people to the screen wall. Yang Jiyan looked at Yu Fuling and Yu Jiao and said, "Sister Fuling, Sister Yu Jiao, take my carriage. I will take you back."
"Miss Yang, you don't have to take the trouble to see us sisters off. When I came, the Mu family sent a carriage to take me, and the coachman has been waiting outside the door." Yu Fuling said hurriedly.
As they walked out of the Sun family's gate, they saw the Mu family's carriage waiting outside. Yang Jiyan said nothing more and said goodbye to Chen Wan, Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling with a smile.
After getting on the carriage, Yu Jiao asked the driver to go to the drug store and buy some medicinal materials. She planned to stay up late at night to make the birth muscle cream and Shiqing powder.
The two returned to the Mu family. The two maids who served Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling in Luofu Courtyard were waiting outside the door. When they saw Yu Jiao coming back, the maids came forward and helped them get off the carriage, saying, "The two girls are finally back. It's almost dark now. The second master has been worried and asked several times. He just asked us to go to the Sun Mansion to look for you."
Yu Jiao felt warm in her heart, knowing that Mu Yan was afraid that the incident that happened to her and Yu Fuling in Yang Mansion last time would happen again. Mu Yan was a responsible man, so he brought them to Qingzhou and took care of them as juniors.
She said to the maid, "Go and tell Master Mu that we are back and don't let him worry anymore."
"The second master is waiting for the young lady in the study. He just sent someone to tell you that he will wait for the young lady to come back and ask you to go find him." said the maid.
Yu Jiao nodded, handed the medical box to Yu Fuling, and said, "Sister, go back to the courtyard first. If you are hungry, you can have dinner first. You don't have to wait for me."
Yu Fuling took the medical box and followed one of the maids back to Luofuyuan.
Yu Jiao and another maid went to the study in the front yard.
The maid knocked on the door and said softly, "Second Master, Miss Yu is here."
Mu Yan's voice came from inside, the maid pushed open the door, and Yu Jiao walked in.
The maid was very considerate and did not close the door of the house. She left the door of the study open and waited outside.
The light in the study was dim and candles were lit. Mu Yan was sitting at the desk with an account book in his hand.
Seeing Yu Jiao coming in, he put down the account book in his hand and asked, "Who in the Sun family is sick? Why did he stay in the Sun Mansion for half a day?"
The Sun family has a very bad reputation in Qingzhou. Sun Songwen is famous for his lust. Yu Jiao and Yu Fuling are two unmarried girls after all. Mu Yan is worried that Sun Songwen might not be able to keep his eyes open and provoke and bully them.
