Does this mean you can’t leave until you finish peeling it?
Although Yu Jiao was extremely reluctant, she had no choice but to sit down on the stone bench again. While sitting down, she subconsciously straightened her injured left knee and continued to peel the pomegranate obediently.
Cheng Ying also sat down, propped up her chin, and stopped eating the pomegranate. She just stared at Yu Jiao with her narrow eyes.
Yu Jiao felt very uncomfortable with him staring at her, and she peeled the pomegranate faster and faster, just wanting to finish peeling it quickly and leave.
"You said that you had a doctor as your teacher in Huairou when you were young. What kind of doctor was he?" Cheng Ying suddenly asked.
Yu Jiao said almost without thinking, "My master is an old doctor who lives in seclusion. I don't know his name. When he taught me medicine, he was already very old with a white beard. Later, my master said he wanted to travel around the world, and I never saw him again. Maybe he has passed away." When Yu Jiao said this, a hint of sadness appeared on her face.
Cheng Ying almost laughed out of anger, and watched Yu Jiao's acting with interest. When he taught this little girl in Huairou, he was only in his twenties, and was not old at all.
White beard? He really didn't wrongly accuse her, he was just a little liar!
"Was the old doctor also the one who taught you the cesarean section technique?" Cheng Ying narrowed her beautiful eyes and said in a neutral tone.
Yu Jiao didn't think there was anything wrong with her statement. Liu Sanniang was always very secretive about the master who taught her medical skills. Anyway, no one knew where the master was now. Even if she lied, no one would verify it. Yu Jiao nodded very naturally.
Cheng Ying stared at her for a long time with his eyes narrowed. Although he did not believe Yu Jiao's words, he was sure of one thing: this little girl seemed to have really forgotten that he was the one who taught her medical skills.
He didn't plan to ask any more questions. The people sent to Qingzhou would be back soon. By then, everything that had happened to the little girl over the years would be presented to him.
Yu Jiao finished peeling another pomegranate. She picked up the last pomegranate on the table and became more and more skilled at peeling the pomegranate. She just wanted to finish peeling it quickly and leave.
"Don't you want to marry Qin Guang?" Cheng Ying saw that she was stripping happily, so he knew what she was thinking. He leaned against the railing and asked slowly.
Yu Jiao's eyelids twitched. For no reason, she felt that Cheng Ying's sudden mention of this was not a good thing.
"Although the Tongqing Marquis's Mansion has declined over the years, the Qin family only has one legitimate son, Qin Guang, and Old Master Qin dotes on him very much. He will inherit the title of the Qin Mansion in the future, so there is nothing wrong with you marrying into his family." Cheng Ying raised the corners of her mouth and smiled cunningly, "You have ruined my good deeds, how do you think I should punish you?"
Cheng Ying paused for a moment, smiling even more. "But I am a generous man. Why don't you help you and Qin Guang get married? When a girl grows up, she will have to get married."
Yu Jiao was slightly startled, and her heart sank quickly. She couldn't tell whether Cheng Ying was teasing her or really intended to do so.
In short, if Cheng Ying intervenes, even Xue Rong will not be able to influence the matter.
Cheng Ying observed the expression on her face with great interest, as if she was watching a cat being teased. After all, she was a little girl, and no matter how calm she pretended to be, she would always reveal some clues.
"Since you are silent, it seems that you are willing to this marriage."
Yu Jiao's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she clenched the pomegranate in her hand. Her dark almond eyes dimmed slightly, "Sir, please don't scare Yuning. A man like Prince Qin is too high for Yuning to reach."
She put on a humble and submissive look, "The governor is busy all day, and I dare not trouble him with Yuning's marriage."
Cheng Ying sneered, the little liar started acting again.
"But you have ruined my good deeds. I can't just let you go. If I do that, won't my reputation of being vicious and cruel be ruined?" Cheng Ying was still in high spirits and teased her on purpose.
Yu Jiao had already peeled the last pomegranate. She pushed the bowl full of pomegranate seeds towards Cheng Ying, "Isn't the governor already punishing Yu Ning?"
Cheng Ying let out a light click of his tongue. If someone dared to show off these little clever tricks in front of him, he would probably kill someone for fun. But he happened to be in a really good mood today, so he didn't feel annoyed by these little clever tricks. Instead, he found them a little funny.
"If peeling a pomegranate can be considered a punishment, I'm afraid I'll be praised for having a compassionate heart." Cheng Ying said lazily.
Yu Jiao lowered her eyes and said nothing. Her fingertips were stained with the juice of the pomegranate seeds, which made them slightly pink and a little sticky.
Cheng Ying obviously noticed it, he frowned slightly and said with some disgust, "You are too untidy, girl. As a doctor, this is a bad habit, you have to change it."
Yu Jiao was speechless for a while. It was the first time she heard such words. She glanced at the mottled handkerchief thrown on the table. It was obvious that her handkerchief was snatched away by Cheng Ying to wipe her hands, but this person still said that she was not clean.
"Yes, Yuning has learned your lesson." Yu Jiao did not argue with him, but just said perfunctorily and obediently.
Cheng Ying raised the corner of his eye and nodded with satisfaction. He glanced at Yu Jiao, his narrow and long phoenix eyes flashed, and suddenly said in an ambiguous tone, "Come to think of it, I am still missing a child..."
