"The young lady of the Sun family slipped and fell, and the baby in her belly became stillborn. It took some time to extract the fetus." Yu Jiao said.
When Mu Yan heard her say that, he knew that Madam Sun's dead fetus must have been taken out by her. He had always believed in Yu Jiao's medical skills. Thinking that Yu Qizhe and the others had finished their provincial examinations and would be leaving in the next few days, he said, "Tomorrow you and Miss Fuling go for a walk on the street, and have the maid follow you, and buy some gifts for your elders at home to take back."
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "My sister and I have been around the city several times these days and have already bought everything we want to take home. My sister and I appreciate the Second Master's kindness."
Mu Yan knew that she was sensible and embarrassed to ask him to spend money, so he had already asked the servants to prepare gifts. He said, "Nianjiu should stay in Qingzhou and return to Changkui after the results are announced. I will need to settle the account in the near future, so I will not send you back. The guards at home will send you back to Changkui."
The eldest master of the Mu family is an official in Beijing, the third master of the Mu family also holds an official position in Qingzhou, and the shops and farms in the family are all managed by the second master of the Mu family. At this time every year, the managers of the shops and farms will send the account books to him for review.
Yu Jiao felt that the Mu family was very harmonious. The three brothers each had their own responsibilities and the entire family was in order. Only in this way could a large family prosper and continue.
She came out of Mu Yan's study. It was already dark outside. The maid held a lantern and the two of them returned to Luofuyuan.
Yu Fuling was eating at the table. When she saw Yu Jiao coming in, she winked at her and said softly, "The maid said that my brother had been waiting for us for a long time. When I came back, I saw that he was asleep."
Yu Jiao followed Yu Fuling's line of sight towards the window. Yu Qizhe was leaning on the soft couch beside the window coffin, holding a book in his hands, his eyes closed, and his sleeping face peacefully.
I think he was reading a book while waiting for them, and fell asleep without knowing when.
Yu Jiao felt a little thirsty. She took a sip of the pear soup on the table and whispered, "How long has he been sleeping? Should we wake him up for dinner?"
Yu Fuling picked up a piece of boneless fish for Yu Jiao and said softly, "The maid said he had eaten. He must have been too tired from writing poetry at Bi Bo Lake today."
The two of them ate in silence, and the maid quietly cleared the dishes.
Yu Jiao went to the small kitchen. The maid saw her carrying a medical box and asked in confusion, "Miss Yu, who are you going to see so late at night?"
Yu Jiao shook her head. "I'm not going to see a doctor, but do you have any discarded iron pots?"
The maid rummaged around on the stove for a while, took out a small iron pot that was already rusty, and asked, "Miss Yu, is this pot okay?"
"Sure." Yu Jiao took it and poured some water.
Seeing that she wanted to wash it herself, the maid hurriedly said, "Miss Yu, I can do these things."
"No need, you go and rest, I can do it myself." Yu Jiao said.
The maid washed the dishes and saw that Yu Jiao had already placed the small iron pot on the stove, added water, and skillfully lit the fire, as if she was used to doing these things. She left the kitchen without saying anything more.
Yu Jiao took out the used instruments from the medical box and placed them in the pot, intending to boil water and boil all the instruments again.
There was a pile of firewood under the stove, and crickets and unknown insects were chirping happily. From time to time, the crackling sound of burning firewood could be heard in the stove, making the night quiet and comfortable.
Yu Jiao added a piece of firewood to the stove, and when she looked up, she found a shadow appeared at the kitchen door. She looked over and saw Yu Qizhe standing at the kitchen door, looking at her quietly. She didn't know when he came over, and she didn't even hear any footsteps.
"Are you awake?" Yu Jiao thought he came to the kitchen because he was hungry, and said, "The maid said you had dinner, so my sister and I didn't wake you up when we had dinner."
There was no food left in the small kitchen, and she didn't know if there was any more at Yinfeng Court. Yu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "How about I make you a bowl of noodles?"
Yu Qizhe shook his head and walked to Yu Jiao's side. "I'm not hungry."
"Aren't you sleepy? Why don't you go back to sleep?" Yu Jiao said while making a fire.
"I heard from my sister that you performed a caesarean section on a dead fetus today." Yu Qizhe pulled over the low stool he used to sit on when making fire and sat down next to Yu Jiao.
Yu Jiao nodded and turned her head to look at him, wondering if Yu Qizhe was going to ask her why she had such horrifying medical skills.
All those words said about becoming an apprentice in the capital were actually full of loopholes. It is impossible to open someone's stomach without a lot of practice.
"Are you scared?" Yu Qizhe asked in a low voice.
Yu Jiao was slightly stunned when she heard his words. No one had ever asked her if she was afraid of performing surgery on others, not even her senior brother.
She is the heir of the Yu family. Her grandfather is an excellent doctor. Everyone naturally thinks that she was born to be a doctor and performing surgery on people is a common thing for her. How could she be afraid of these things?
The first time she performed surgery on someone, she performed perfectly and calmly.
Grandpa is very satisfied with her, and her senior brother Fu Chuan praises her for her high talent.
Behind the two men's backs, she secretly vomited violently, cutting into the flesh of a living human body. She hid her shock and fear very well.
The calmness of his expression and the composure of being accustomed to it represent experiences that have been repeated over and over again.
At the beginning, she was just an ordinary person.
Seeing Yu Jiao remained silent, Yu Qizhe placed his hand on her palm. His tone was gentle but reassuring, "If you do something like this again in the future, I'll accompany you."
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "I'm not afraid."
Yu Qizhe's concern filled the gap in her previous life and was very touching to Yu Yujiao.
"We have agreed to return to Changkui tomorrow." Yu Qizhe held Yu Jiao's hand with one hand and put firewood into the stove with the other hand.
Yu Jinshu actually didn't want to leave so soon. He had just met Shao Zhong and wanted to stay in Qingzhou for a few more days.
Yu Qiaoshan was looking forward to returning home as soon as possible, and Yu Qizhe was unwilling to stay in Qingzhou any longer. Yu Jiao had met another man only ten days after arriving in Qingzhou, and he did not like to see her getting close to other men.
The dancing fire in the stove cast a layer of warm yellow glow on Yu Jiao's face. Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes and looked at her, thinking that she was extremely dazzling.
And this brilliance...cannot be hidden, Yu Qizhe couldn't help but tighten his grip on Yu Jiao's hand.
Yu Jiao tilted her head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Yu Qizhe smiled faintly, "Nothing."
Yu Jiao shared with him happily, "I made a thousand taels today. If you want anything, just tell me."
Hearing her heroic tone, Yu Qizhe's smile deepened. He shook his head and said, "You keep it well. I don't want anything."
He sat sideways to the stove. From Yu Jiao's perspective, his profile was really handsome, with a high nose and full brow bones. If it was any more, it would be excessive, and if it was any less, it would be too little.
His peach blossom eyes were naturally romantic, but because of his reserved and cold personality, they were mixed with a kind of alluring abstinence.
No wonder Yang Jiyan was moved.
