Although he only leaned forward slightly, Yu Jiao felt oppressed for no reason. She took a step back and pretended to be calm and said, "Master Cheng hosted a banquet, and I was able to come here after the banquet."
"Master Cheng?" Yu Qizhe paused, and asked with dry lips, "Did he embarrass you again?"
On the day when Yu Jiao came of age, Liu Ziqi's words were still ringing in his ears. Yu Qizhe clenched his fists hidden in his sleeves. In recent days, he always dreamed of the scene in the flower hall at the coming of age banquet when Cheng Ying made things difficult for Yu Jiao. The sight of that eunuch holding power and having the power of life and death was like a nightmare.
One day, he would climb up and step on the head of that eunuch to compete with him.
He wanted to have the power to ensure that no one could wrong or humiliate Yu Jiao.
Yu Qizhe's desire for power was as blazing as the scorching sun, but he needed time. If he wanted to climb up, he had to be more patient and restrained, and not show any expression.
After arriving in the capital, Yu Qizhe learned the patience that was engraved in his bones.
Hearing him ask this, Yu Jiao herself didn't notice that her expression softened. She shook her head, thinking that Yu Qizhe would know sooner or later that Cheng Ying had adopted her as his adopted daughter, and said, "Not yet. Master Cheng treats me very well, and I have already accepted him as my adopted father."
Yu Jiao saw a hint of surprise in Yu Qizhe's eyes, and then his expression became even colder and gloomy.
Yes, recognizing the eunuch party as the adoptive father should be a very despicable thing in the eyes of scholars all over the world.
Yu Jiao didn't want to guess what Yu Qizhe thought about this matter, so she said, "Fifth brother, I won't disturb you from eating. Second sister and I will take our leave now."
Just as Yu Jiao was about to leave, she suddenly heard Yu Qizhe say in a whisper, "If I make the list, will you be happy for me?"
"Of course." After hearing it clearly, Yu Jiao paused for a moment, and without any hesitation, she turned back to look at Yu Qizhe, "I told you, Fifth Brother, I wish you a bright future and a successful career."
She really couldn't do such a thing as cursing and accusing her ex of all kinds of bad things after breaking up, and wishing him to be ruined and go to hell.
After all, no matter what, she was someone he had loved before. Besides, Yu Qizhe had never done anything wrong to her.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiao smiled sincerely, "You are my brother, so I naturally hope that you are well."
Yu Qizhe looked at her pair of clear and pure almond-shaped eyes that seemed to be free of any emotion, but he felt increasingly cold in his heart. When he teased her in the past, he used to call her "brother" as a way of amusing himself, but now when he really heard her call him "Fifth Brother", it felt especially painful like a sharp blade cutting through her flesh, dripping with blood.
In the past, he only thought that Yu Jiao's watery and clear eyes were beautiful. Now he realized that when these beautiful eyes liked him, they held a light that made his heart palpitate, and not like now, which was black and white and nothing else.
On that day, he was the one who said those words that he shouldn't have said. Yu Qizhe closed his eyes to hide the unknown pain, and opened his eyes to watch Yu Jiao get on the carriage.
It was the evening of late February, and there was still a biting cold snap. As the setting sun set, every breath was filled with a chill that pierced his chest. Yu Qizhe stood outside the courtyard gate for a long time, his tall figure slender, his cold and lonely face covered with a layer of chill.
He wanted to possess her so much, but he was not qualified at the moment.
"Young Master." A voice with a hint of warning sounded faintly from inside the door.
Song Nian, who was hiding aside, glared at the man who spoke with anger and fear, but did not dare to say anything more.
Yu Qizhe turned around and walked into the yard. His expression was completely calm and he didn't even look at the tall servant who spoke.
