Debbie then hurriedly spat out the porcelain fragments stuck in her throat mixed with blood. Her lips and tongue were scratched, and her voice was a little unclear, but she prostrated herself at Yang Jiyan's feet with a grateful look on her face, and said, "Miss, are you willing to keep me?"
Yang Jiyan sat on the chair and looked down at Dai Bi at her feet. If she hadn't taken into consideration that she was in need of people at that time and the new maids in the yard were as timid as mice and could not get anything done, she would never have kept Dai Bi, who had once betrayed her master!
However, only someone like Debbie, who was frightened in the brothel, would listen to her in the future.
But Yang Jiyan was reborn and had some plans. She asked someone to take Dai Bi downstairs to wash up, and at the same time she sent people to the brothel on Zhixiang Street to find out whether what Dai Bi said was true and whether she had really escaped from the brothel.
Yunxiao secretly witnessed this scene, and then quietly left Yang's Mansion and went back to report.
When Yu Jiao heard the news, she was teaching Wang Xueyan how to make incense pills. Jianjia came in and called Yu Jiao to the west room. After hearing that Daibi had swallowed the porcelain pieces raw, Yang Jiyan agreed to ask her to come back and serve him. Yu Jiao sighed softly. People who have hatred in their hearts will not only be cruel to themselves, but will also be more cruel to their enemies.
If Yang Jiyan really ends up in a miserable situation in the future, it will be her own fault.
After Yunxiao left, Yu Jiao returned to the side room.
Yesterday, Chen Guan brought Wang Xueyan here. Chen Guan originally took a box of Shouyang Princess Plum Blossom Fragrance Pills from Yu Jiao. Another box that Yu Jiao gave her in the Plum Garden that day was brought to Wang Xueyan by Chen Guan. Wang Xueyan was very interested in making incense and wanted to learn from Yu Jiao. Yu Jiao had no reason to refuse. It happened that she was going to make seal incense for Lianxi Temple, and teaching Wang Xueyan was just a matter of convenience.
Seeing Yu Jiao coming back, Wang Xueyan said a little embarrassedly, "You have something to do. If you have something to do, go and do it yourself. Don't worry about me."
Yu Jiao took off her shoes, got on the soft couch, and smiled, "There's nothing to do."
Wang Xueyan was using ash to flatten the incense ash. She held up the ash jar and asked Yu Jiao to look at it. "Is this okay?"
To smooth the incense ash, you need to use an ash press to gently spread it out from the top of the incense ash to the surrounding areas. The force in this process should not be too heavy or too light. It must be evenly smoothed and pressed tightly to allow the incense powder to burn continuously.
Yu Jiao took a look and said, "It's still not tight enough. Do it a few more times and you'll be able to control the strength."
Wang Xueyan took back the incense ash jar and ground it again with the ash press. She said softly, "I didn't tell you yesterday that I actually want to open an incense ball shop, but I don't know anything about making incense, so I have to trouble you. If I open a shop in the future, I will give you a share of the profits, as a gift to my teacher."
Yu Jiao originally thought that Wang Xueyan learned to make incense just to pass the time, but she didn't expect that she also had the idea of opening a shop.
"You also know my current situation. Although my family members love and care for me and have been raising me in the mansion, my mother has been ashamed because of my divorce, and my grandmother has been looking for a husband for me." Wang Xueyan said this without any resentment. She said softly and slowly, "I don't want to get married again. I remember everything you said to me in Qingzhou. These days, I always think about what you said."
Yu Jiao looked at Wang Xueyan. This woman had always been weak because of the cesarean section, but now, beneath her fragile appearance, there was a strange glow.
Wang Xueyan's voice was still gentle, but every word was clear. "You said that women don't necessarily have to rely on their husband's family to live. They can live well by supporting themselves. I often repeat this sentence in my heart. I heard Wanwan talk about many things after you came to Beijing. Although you are the third daughter of the Liu family, you still practice medicine outside with such a noble status. I think this is what you call independence. Whether you are the third daughter of the Liu family or not, you can live well on your own."
"I also want to be a woman like you." Wang Xueyan said, and chuckled, seeming a little embarrassed, but her pupils emitted a clear light, which was a firm light.
"I may not be able to do as well as you, but since I'm divorced, I should live a good life and let all the women in the world know that if we really have to divorce one day, it's not the end of the road. There's no need to be depressed and unhappy for the rest of your life. Divorced women can live well and live their own glory without men."
As Wang Xueyan said these words, her eyes became brighter, and her face had an expression of brightness and clarity, as if she had been through a lot but now was rejuvenated. This expression was very beautiful and had nothing to do with her appearance.
Yu Jiao almost wanted to applaud her. She smiled at Wang Xueyan and said, "Okay, I will teach you all the incense recipes I know. You will definitely be able to do it very well. Nothing is difficult for those who set their minds to it. I am waiting for the day when I can get the dividends."
Wang Xueyan felt happy from the bottom of her heart when she saw her affirmation of herself. In one's life, one will meet many people, hear many words, and encounter many things. Some people, some things, and some words may inadvertently change your life, give you an epiphany, and make you suddenly sober. From then on, you will start to move towards the second half of your life gently and firmly. When no one relies on you, you have to rely on yourself for everything. You don't feel resentful or self-pitying, and find another way to live besides being a wife and raising children.
