There was a knock on the door, and Jianjia went to open it. A maid was standing outside, "Miss San, the county lady invites you to the back pavilion to select today's masterpieces."
"Miss, please give the county lady a message. I will be there later." Yu Jiao still had things to deal with. After hearing what Yu Jiao said, the maid bowed and left.
Bai Lu, who had been waiting by the window and staring downstairs, suddenly said, "Girl, someone is coming."
Yu Jiao stood up and walked to the window, looking downstairs, and saw Yang Jiyan and Dai Bi entering the building, followed by two maids.
The waiter in Xinglou led them upstairs. At this moment, Yang Jiyan raised her head and met Yu Jiao's gaze. Both of them had no expression on their faces. Yang Jiyan withdrew her gaze first and followed the waiter up to the east building.
A moment later, there was another knock on Yu Jiao's door, and Debbie walked in, "Miss Third, my young lady wants you to come over for a chat."
Yu Jiao glanced at her and followed Debbie to the private room on the second floor of the east building.
Yang Jiyan was drinking tea. When she saw her come in, she looked calm. After seeing Yu Jiao sit down, she asked, "Do you really want to redeem this bitch?"
"Miss Yang, please name a price." Yu Jiao said lightly.
Yang Jiyan sneered, glanced at Debbie, and said sarcastically, "You really are possessed by a living Bodhisattva!"
Hearing her words, Debbie shrank back and hid behind Yu Jiao. On her wrist, which was not covered by her sleeve, there was a hideous whip mark, just big enough for Yu Jiao to see.
"No matter what, it's a human life." Yu Jiao's expression showed more compassion, and she protected Dai Bi behind her.
Seeing her like this, Yang Jiyan deliberately said, "Since that's the case, I'll be frank. This slave girl bribed the bandits in Qingzhou to kill you, and later you bribed her. Are you really willing to redeem this slave girl who easily betrayed her master?"
Yu Jiao showed hesitation. Seeing this, Dai Bi grabbed her sleeve and begged, "Doctor Yu, please save my life. If you don't want to take me in, I will be beaten to death..."
Yu Jiao seemed to be moved by her words and sighed softly, "Miss Yang's words make sense. I can help you redeem yourself, but I won't keep someone like you around to work."
Debi's eyes were filled with tears. "As long as Dr. Yu is willing to save me from this sea of suffering and give me a way out, that will be all."
Yang Jiyan looked at the two of them, and only at this moment did the doubts in her heart disappear. Although she used Dai Bi to do things, she always felt a little uneasy. After all, few people could escape from a place like Zhixiang Street. Even if she had sent people to inquire in the brothels on Zhixiang Street, she still wanted to test it out.
Now that she saw that Yu Jiao really just seemed to feel sorry for Debbie, she could focus on implementing her next plan.
"Since you really want to redeem her, I will agree. You are now the third daughter of the Cifu family and have Cheng Zhangyin as your adoptive father. How can I afford to offend such a backer?" Yang Jiyan raised her hand to pour a cup of tea for Yu Jiao, with a helpless and unwilling look on her face. "I admit that I targeted you a lot in the past, but that was also because I was infatuated with Yu Qizhe."
She continued, "I fell in love with Yu Qizhe at first sight during the Autumn Examination, so I did many wrong things. Yu Qizhe also told me that he had no feelings for me. Today, you are of noble status, and I have no intention of competing with you, and I can't win against you. Since you want this maid, I will give it to you as an apology. If you are magnanimous and don't care about me, then drink this cup of tea, and I will use tea instead of wine to apologize to you."
After Yang Jiyan finished speaking, she picked up the teacup on the table and looked at Yu Jiao.
