"Since I am already a member of the second wife, I will naturally not have any unnecessary thoughts in the future. Third brother, there is no need to worry about it. As Wulang's wife, I will naturally take care of him." Yu Jiao said lightly.
Yu Jinshu sneered, not believing Yu Jiao's words at all. "If you were really obedient, why would you climb into Jinyan's bed? No wonder you have changed your mind. With Fifth Brother's useless body, I'm afraid he hasn't consummated the marriage with you yet. If you're really lonely and unbearable, I can give you some comfort!"
Yu Jiao was slightly angry as Yu Jinshu's words became more and more vulgar. "Please respect yourself. Since you are a scholar, you should know the moral principles. And as the elder brother of the fifth brother, you should not use his pregnancy as an excuse."
Yu Jinshu had disliked his fifth brother since he was a child. Although he was weak as a rock, he was full of talent and had always overshadowed their third branch. In addition, Zhao and Yu Zhou had instilled in him the idea that their third branch should be superior to the other two branches in the family. When Yu Qizhe was the third top scholar in the imperial examination and enjoyed great success, Yu Jinshu had held a grudge against him. Now that Yu Qizhe was in poor health, Yu Jinshu had often ridiculed him behind his back.
He smiled contemptuously, "Why are you pretending? You, a cheap woman, are qualified to lecture me? You are talking to me about ethics and moral principles. If you had any sense of shame, you wouldn't have taken off all your clothes and climbed onto Jinyan's bed. If it weren't for protecting Jinyan's reputation, you, a woman, would have been thrown into a pig cage long ago!"
Yu Jiao smiled coldly. If she had a silver needle in her hand, she would definitely poke Yu Jinshu to pieces. He'd better not get sick in the future, otherwise if he came to her for begging, she would never miss the opportunity to torture him.
The next day, Zhao helped her two sons pack dried meat and cooked goose eggs into large and small bags early in the morning, and asked someone in the village who had a donkey cart to take them back to the academy. In comparison, Yu Zhizhou, the eldest son of the wife, looked much more shabby, and because the eldest son was embarrassed in front of the old lady, no one dared to say anything.
Five days later, Yu Ruhai sat restlessly in the main hall early in the morning, waiting for someone from the Mu family to come. Sometimes he was worried, fearing that Mu Yan's carbuncle had not been cured and that the Mu family would come to make trouble; sometimes he smiled and twirled his beard, imagining that Mu Yan's carbuncle would be cured and the Mu family would come to thank him.
But after waiting for a whole day, no one came.
During dinner at night, Yu Ruhai couldn't eat. He asked Yu Jiao several times about Mu Yan's carbuncle. Yu Jiao answered casually, saying that it was just a carbuncle and as long as the Mu family followed her prescription, there would be no problem.
Someone from the village came to Yu Qiaoshan to ask him to go hunting in the mountains. It would be time for the wheat harvest soon, and Yu Qiaoshan wanted to take advantage of his free time to hunt some prey in the mountains. If he hunted something valuable, he could sell it in the town for some money.
Yu Jiao became very interested after listening to it. She had always wanted to go to the mountain to see if there were any medicinal herbs. After the villagers left, Yu Jiao went to say hello to Yu Qiaoshan and said that she wanted to go to the mountain with him tomorrow.
Because of helping Yu Jiao make a prosthetic limb out of wood, Yu Qiaoshan's previous opinion of Yu Jiao was less serious. However, he did not refuse and agreed to let Yu Jiao go to the back mountain with him.
Yu Jiao found some herbs that could repel mosquitoes and made some powder. However, after watching the night sky for a while, she was not so excited anymore and went to find Yu Qiaoshan instead.
"Uncle, it's going to rain tomorrow, so it's not suitable to go hunting in the mountains." Yu Jiao said.
Yu Qiaoshan was a little surprised and said, "No way, it's been sunny these past few days, and the weather is also very good today. It doesn't look like it's going to rain."
