Liu Sanniang really wanted to say that she would return all the money to Yu Jiao in the future, but she didn't dare to say such a big word which she might not be able to do.
Yu Jiao glanced at the sky outside, picked up the dishes that Liu Sanniang had used, and said, "Qi Zhe and I are going back home. I'll boil another dose of medicine for you and keep it warm on the stove. Don't forget to drink it in the evening."
Liu Sanniang responded, watched Yu Jiao walk out with the dishes and chopsticks, and lay on the bed. She sighed with a conflicted look, thinking how nice it would be if this was her biological daughter.
After Yu Jiao washed the pots and bowls, she boiled another dose of medicine. When it was ready, she placed it on the stove to warm it with the remaining fire. She told Fei Ge'er not to forget to give the medicine to Liu Sanniang in the evening, and then left with Yu Qizhe.
The two did not return to Qingyu Village directly, but instead went to Meng Dafu's house.
Now that she was here, Yu Jiao wanted to take a look at the wound that Yu Huangqi had sutured.
When the Meng family saw that it was Yu Jiao and the other person, they served them tea and water very enthusiastically.
After a few pleasantries, Yu Jiao went to the room to check on Yu Huangqi's wound.
With the instructions Yu Jiao gave when she left last time, the Meng family took good care of Yu Huangqi. They changed the dressings on Yu Huangqi every day strictly according to Yu Jiao's doctor's instructions, without any slacking off. The wound healed well and no infection occurred.
Yu Huangqi was relieved to hear her say that she had recovered well. He smiled and said, "Why didn't you tell me last time that Fifth Brother passed the imperial examination? You should have told me about such a great event earlier."
Yu Jiao helped her change the medicine and bandage her with gauze, and said, "I was too busy last time and didn't have time to talk to you."
Yu Huangqi sat up, took Yu Jiao's hand and said, "You are a lucky person. Fifth brother is successful, and my aunt was able to give birth to a child safely because of your kindness. Let me say a few words from the bottom of my heart."
"Just say it." Yu Jiao sat down on the edge of the bed, a little uncomfortable with Yu Huangqi's serious look.
Yu Huangqi lowered his voice, "I was the one who introduced you to Fifth Brother. I hope you can live a good life. Fifth Brother is very different from before after passing the imperial examination. If he passes the imperial examination again in the future, be careful that women will throw themselves at him. You haven't gotten married yet, so you should take the initiative more often and learn how to do things in bed. Give Fifth Brother a child as soon as possible. Men always remember the old times. Even if he becomes an official in the future, he won't divorce his wife and marry another one for the sake of the child."
Yu Jiao blushed. In the past, when she was seeing patients, she didn't care about sex matters. But now it was her turn... She felt shy.
"Don't take it lightly. Things will be different for a man once he has power. Every official has concubines. Listen to your sister-in-law and have a baby as soon as possible." Yu Huangqi was really thinking about Yu Jiao. After all, Yu Jiao was just a bought bride for good fortune. She was not married into the family with three matchmakers and six betrothals. If Fifth Brother really became an official in the future, he might dislike Yu Jiao.
"I... I understand. Actually, I treat him as..." Yu Jiao paused awkwardly. She really couldn't say with a clear conscience that she treated Yu Qizhe as her brother.
She did have some indescribable feelings towards Yu Qizhe.
"It's good that you know. My aunt's words won't harm you. Hurry up and give birth to a child. It would be best if it's a son." Yu Huangqi thought that Yu Jiao was young and shy, so he pointed to the long wooden cabinet at the head of the bed and said, "I can't move. You can look through it yourself. There is a picture album at the bottom of the cabinet. Take it back and read it secretly a few times."
Yu Jiao's face flushed, and she instantly understood what book Yu Huangqi was talking about. She was very familiar with the structure of the human body, so why would she need to read that kind of pornographic picture album? She blushed and defended Yu Qizhe, "Fifth Brother is very good to me. He is not the kind of person who will abandon you after having sex with you. I will not take the picture album. I appreciate your kindness."
"You are too shy, it will be good for you to take it back and read it." Yu Huangqi pretended to get out of bed to find the album for Yu Jiao, "Your mother definitely didn't tell you about these things, don't be embarrassed in front of your aunt, a girl should always know how to deal with people."
Yu Jiao hurriedly stopped her. She couldn't refuse Yu Huangqi's kindness, so she had to take out the picture album from the cabinet.
Yu Huangqi gave her a small bag and said, "If you are shy, wrap it up so that Fifth Brother won't know."
Yu Jiao quickly wrapped up the album and put it aside. She was afraid that Yu Huangqi would talk to her about the boudoir again, so she changed the subject and said, "I came here to give my sister-in-law a reminder."
"What's wrong?" Yu Huangqi thought it was about her body again, and she couldn't help but become nervous. After giving birth, she heard Dafu say that when Yu Jiao took her pulse before, she reminded her that this baby might be difficult to deliver.
Yu Jiao said, "There may be heavy rain in a few days. This year, the rain is too much. My aunt should ask my uncle to be alert. If a flood happens, remember to take shelter in high places. Although trees and roofs can be used as shelter, they are easily washed down and collapsed by floods. It is best to go to the mountains, but the mountains are not necessarily safe. You need to stay away from mountains with loose soil."
Yu Huangqi was a little surprised and said half-doubtfully, "No way, there have been times of heavy rain in previous years, and the fields were flooded once, but it wasn't a flood. Don't scare me! The last time we had a flood here was decades ago, when I wasn't even born yet, and I only heard about it from the older generation."
