The old man stroked his beard. Although he was skeptical about Yu Qizhe's words, he still had great hope that he could take the imperial examination again and win fame for the Yu family. He hesitated and said, "Since Fifth Brother said so, let's just leave it to fate."
The couple from the third room both looked unhappy at once. They were about to speak when the old man said, "None of you are allowed to treat the scourge of the Meng family. If she can survive, she will be lucky. Also, our family's food is not enough for us to eat now. Whoever dares to send her food will have to starve." When he said the second half of the sentence, the old man looked at Song seriously.
The old lady was a little unhappy at first, but when she heard the old man say that Meng Yujiao was not allowed to be treated, her expression eased a little.
The third brother was so angry that he used all his strength to beat the woman with the cane. Even an ordinary man would have been half dead, not to mention that the woman surnamed Meng had vomited blood last night. If she was not treated in time, she would definitely die.
The debate has come to a conclusion.
Song never expected that her son would stand up and speak for Miss Meng, and the old man actually listened to her. It can be seen that the father-in-law still loves Qi Zhe very much.
She and Zhang from the first wife's house cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen to wash them. When she saw Yu Qizhe coming back to his room, she hurriedly whispered, "Send the food in the room to Miss Meng."
Yu Qizhe did not express his opinion, so Song thought that he was unwilling. She thought to herself that after she cleaned up the stove, she would serve the meal to Miss Meng herself.
While washing the pot, she inadvertently looked up to the small window of the kitchen, and saw Yu Qizhe's back coming out of the east room. She couldn't help but smile, thinking that her son was a cold-faced but kind-hearted person.
There was no one in the yard. Yu Qizhe walked quickly to the cottage and pushed open the wooden door with a creaking sound. He lowered his eyes and saw Yu Jiao sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. Her pretty face was peaceful and flawless, but her curved slender-leaf eyebrows were slightly frowned.
Yu Qizhe silently placed the bowl of rice in his hand on the ground next to her straw, picked up the empty bowl of water on the ground, and returned to the east room.
Yu Mengshan saw him bring back an empty bowl and asked in surprise, "Ms. Meng finished eating so quickly?"
"No." Yu Qizhe said briefly.
After pouring warm boiled water into the empty bowl, Yu Qizhe returned to the hut with the bowl in his hand. This time, the sound of the door being pushed open woke up Yu Jiao, who was lying on the straw pile. She opened her eyes and looked at Yu Qizhe.
Yu Qizhe's movements paused slightly, avoiding Yu Jiao's clear and watery eyes. He half-knelt down, placed the coarse porcelain bowl full of water in his hand on the ground within Yu Jiao's reach, and stood up and walked out.
Yu Jiao endured the pain all over her body and asked Yu Qizhe, "What dynasty is it now?"
Yu Qizhe paused slightly, turned around and looked at Yu Jiao, a hint of horror flashing in his peach blossom eyes.
Yu Jiao supported herself on the ground with her hands, slowly sat up halfway, and endured the dull pain in her chest, repeating, "What dynasty? Who... am I?"
Yu Qizhe's eyes flickered, his tightly clenched lips slightly opened, and he responded lightly, "Tai Yan, you... Yu Jiao of the Meng family."
After hearing what Yu Qizhe said, Yu Jiao clenched the hem of her dress hanging on the ground with her slender fingers, took a deep breath, and was silent for a long time before she asked Yu Qizhe, "Are you Yu Qizhe, the fifth brother of the Yu family? I married you for the sake of getting married?"
Yu Qizhe originally thought that she had been beaten to a pulp, but now that he saw her clearly say the words "marry for good fortune", his face flushed, his ears slightly red, and a trace of anger flashed across his face. He said in a rare and difficult-to-control way, "Since you know this, you shouldn't have done such a shameless thing!"
After saying that, he flicked his sleeves, closed the wooden door, turned around and left quickly.
Yu Jiao, who was half-sitting with her back against the mud wall, wailed in her heart, "Damn it, God is playing tricks on her!"
Just now, when she was half asleep, she had a dream. In the dream, she was also called Yu Jiao, but her last name was Meng. She was the daughter-in-law bought by the Yu family to bring good luck to the sick youngest son of the second wife.
Now it seems that it was not a dream at all, but just the memory of this body.
She originally thought that she was not dead, but just had a strange dream. Now it seems that she is deader than dead, and her soul has been resurrected in the body of a woman of the same name from a dynasty for which there is no historical record.
Yu Jiao was having a headache at the moment. This Meng Yu Jiao had left her a huge mess. The original owner knew that the second son of the Yu family was a tuberculosis patient and might die some day. After listening to the instigation of someone in the Yu family, he chose the youngest son of the third branch, Yu Jinyan, from among the most promising children of the Yu family. When he returned home from the academy to rest, he took off all his clothes and climbed onto Yu Jinyan's bed.
As a result... Yu Jinyan was a person like Liu Xiahui. When he walked in and saw Meng Yujiao lying naked on his bed, he turned around and went out to tell the Yu family. Meng Yujiao was so scared that she ran out of the Yu family. The Yu family was afraid that the matter would get out and it would be bad for Yu Jinyan's reputation, so they came out to chase him.
Meng Yujiao panicked and tripped at the foot of the mountain, breaking her ribs and was captured by the Yu family.
Yu Jinyan's father, the third son Yu Hanshan, was furious and beat Meng Yujiao half to death with a rattan stick, then locked her up in this small, shabby house. It seemed that Meng Yujiao died from the beating, and then she inexplicably traveled through time and space.
Yu Jiao now thought about the scene when she had just woken up and flirted with Yu Qizhe, and her headache only got worse.
In Meng Yujiao's memory, Yu Qizhe was a little old-fashioned person who couldn't be more serious, aloof and aloof like a flower on the mountain top, and a tuberculosis patient.
He never let Meng Yujiao enter his room. During all the time Meng Yujiao had been at Yu's house, she had spoken less than ten sentences to Yu Qizhe.
Just as Meng Yujiao took off all her clothes and climbed onto Yu Jinyan's bed, she woke up right away, stared at Meng Yujiao's body, and shamelessly teased Yu Qizhe. I'm afraid that she has completely confirmed the label of a slut in Yu Qizhe's mind.
Yu Jiao did not feel ashamed for too long. Her legs were badly injured. If she did not receive medical treatment in time, the weather was so hot that the wound would probably fester. By then, she might not be able to save her legs.
But now she was locked up in this small shabby house, and even though she had all the medical skills, she couldn't treat herself.
Yu Jiao picked up the bowl of rice that Yu Qizhe had brought to her, and she found it difficult to swallow. Fortunately, she had always been a person who could go with the flow, and she was not too panicked about suddenly coming to this place.
After washing the pots and bowls, Song from the second room returned to the east room and saw Yu Qizhe sitting at the table in his room reading a book. She asked hesitantly, "Qizhe, do you really feel better?"
Yu Qizhe didn't raise his head, his eyes still glued to the book, and said lightly, "No, I just deceived Grandpa."
Although Song had already guessed it in her heart, she still did not give up. When people are in despair, there will always be a glimmer of hope and expectation.
Hearing this, she suppressed her disappointment and tried to act as if nothing had happened. She said to Yu Qizhe, "Go and see if Miss Meng has finished her meal. Take the bowl back so no one sees it."
