Yang Jiyan smiled and said, "Will it bother you too much if I stay?"
It was obvious that she wanted to stay for dinner. Wang Xueyan sighed in her heart and said calmly, "I'm not disturbing you. I just don't know if the food at home suits your taste."
"It's okay. It's fun to eat some simple meals occasionally." Yang Jiyan said.
The smile on Wang Xueyan's face was a little forced. After all, she was a young lady from a wealthy family and had no idea about the ways of the world. She stayed at someone else's house for dinner and even found fault with the simple food and belittled it.
But she couldn't argue with Yang Jiyan about all this. Fortunately, Yu Jiao came back. When this young lady knew that Qi Zhe was in love with Meng girl, she would probably give up.
After everyone sat down at the dinner table, Yu Ruhai looked at Yu Jiao and asked, "Are you back? What disease did the patient from Qiyun County have? Why did you take so long?"
Ever since the division of the family and the decentralization of power, Yu Ruhai has been so idle that he feels a little anxious.
Yu Qiaoshan became the head of the village. He was no longer the powerful figure in the family. He had grown old, and the roles in the family were changing. No one was under his control anymore. In this family, he was losing his personal authority.
This made Yu Ruhai feel an unconscious sense of crisis, and he always wanted to do something to maintain his position as the head of the family.
"Tuberculosis is somewhat difficult to cure." Yu Jiao made up a story.
Yu Ruhai raised his eyebrows. Tuberculosis is an incurable disease. "How can this disease be cured? Don't get yourself into trouble again."
Yu Jiao smiled faintly and said nothing.
Yu Ruhai continued to nag, "You are a girl, and you run outside all day long. Just let them come to your house for treatment. Fuling is getting married next year. If she follows you outside all the time and her husband's family finds out, they will come to your house and say something bad. Aren't you harming her?"
Seeing that Yu Ruhai's words were getting more serious, Yu Qizhe said, "I will go to see patients with Yu Jiao in the future, so grandfather can rest assured."
Yu Ruhai felt a lump in his chest and was very angry.
Seeing this, Yu Zhou hurriedly tried to smooth things over, "The food is getting cold. Let's talk after dinner."
She looked at Yang Jiyan again and said with a smile, "The food at home is rough, please bear with me, Miss Yang."
This was intended to remind Yu Ruhai that there were outsiders at the table.
Yu Ruhai glanced at Yang Jiyan and his expression eased a little, but he was still angry in his heart. He felt that since Yu Qizhe won the top three prizes, he no longer took him, the head of the family, seriously and always protected Yu Jiao and opposed him.
Yang Jiyan tasted a dish and said to Song with a smile, "Aunt's cooking skills are very good. The dishes cooked by my cook are much better than those cooked by my cook."
Song smiled and didn't respond.
Yu Ruhai said, "If it tastes good, eat more. If you want to eat something tomorrow, just tell me."
Yang Jiyan smiled and responded sweetly.
Yu Jiao lowered her head to eat, and suddenly there was a piece of braised pork in the bowl. She looked up at Yu Qizhe who had put away his chopsticks, and when she met his warm eyes, Yu Jiao curled the corners of her lips.
Yang Jiyan, who was sitting opposite, felt very uncomfortable when she saw this scene. She had taken the initiative to show her goodwill, but now she had to stay in this shabby place, eat such disgusting food, and even praise it for being delicious against her will.
Yu Qizhe turned a blind eye again and again, and he didn't even get a glance from him. But he wasn't so cold to everyone.
Recalling how well he treated his sister Yu Jiao in Qingzhou, Yang Jiyan felt a little uncomfortable.
Her parents did not agree with her coming to Qingzhou at all. Her father took the initiative to ask for help but was rejected. The family also sent a steward over but still no response. This was a huge loss of face for her father, and he scolded the Yu family for being ungrateful.
Her mother even advised her not to be obsessed with Yu Qizhe, saying that there were many scholars in the world, and Yu Qizhe was not the only handsome scholar.
Maybe he was like Yu Qizhe, the only one who entered the cabinet at the age of coming of age. Keeping this secret, Yang Jiyan was unable to obtain it and became increasingly anxious.
She dreamed about things from her past life several times, including when the Zhou family was ransacked, and also after she was taken home by her father, she heard things about Yu Qizhe from other people.
The scenes became clearer and clearer, and the appearance of Yu Qizhe in his official uniform and high position of power became more and more real. This made Yang Jiyan more and more eager to become Yu Qizhe's wife, to become the wife of the Grand Councilor in the future, to become the Madam Yu that everyone in the capital envied and dared not bully.
