Chapter 769 Eavesdropping



A thought flashed across Yu Jiao's eyes. This description sounded a bit like taking aphrodisiac drugs like Hehuan Powder, but this kind of drug is harmful to the body. Taking it will only make Cui Mubai's body more deficient. However, judging from Cui Mubai's pulse, it was not the case that he took this kind of drug.

"I think the medicine I took recently has taken effect, but my brother-in-law's body is still not suitable for too much sex." Yu Jiao concealed these speculations in her heart for the time being, and just said to Liu Yaozhen, "I will check my brother-in-law's pulse in a few days."

Liu Yaozhen heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her say this, and her tone was unable to conceal her happiness, "So, your brother-in-law's health has improved? Then will I be able to get pregnant soon?"

There is no certainty about having a child. Yu Jiao comforted her, "Don't rush to have a child. As long as your brother-in-law is well, you will get one naturally."

Yu Jiao's words were like a stabilizing force for Liu Yaozhen. Every time she heard her speak, she would feel at ease. She smiled and said, "Thanks to you, when I really have a child in the future, I will tell him that he must respect you well in the future."

Yu Jiao smiled. She sat in the East Garden for a while, worried about Tao Ge'er, and then returned to Yingyue Pavilion.

Tao Ge'er was squatting in the yard playing with mud, as if he was waiting for her while playing. When he saw her come back, he quickly threw away the mud in his hand and went into the house with Yu Jiao.

Seeing that his hands were dirty, Yu Jiao called Cuizhu to fetch water for Tao Ge'er to wash his hands. Tao Ge'er's nails were a little long, and after washing his hands, there was still black dirt in the gaps between his nails. Yu Jiao asked someone to bring a pair of scissors and trimmed Tao Ge'er's nails herself.

Tao Ge'er sat obediently, looking at Yu Jiao with his pure eyes, as if he was relying on her wholeheartedly.

Although Tao Ge'er looks like an adult man, Yu Jiao treats him as Fei Ge'er. When she teaches Tao Ge'er to write, she often thinks of Fei Ge'er who is well-behaved, sensible and studious. It's a pity that Liu Sanniang and her son have no news now and their whereabouts are unknown. She doesn't know if they will meet again in the future.

Children have short memories. Perhaps in a few years, Fei Ge'er will not remember her as his sister. Thinking of how Fei Ge'er always called her "Sister" out of dependence, Yu Jiao was a little absent-minded. She regretted not leaving more money for Liu Sanniang before coming to Beijing. She didn't know whether Liu Sanniang still had money to send Fei Ge'er to study in the academy.

Yu Jiao finished clipping Tao Ge'er's nails. It was already dusk outside. Jian Jia suddenly came in and said, "Miss, Wei San heard from the servants in the front yard that Master Yu has arrived. The master invited Master Yu to have dinner at the mansion."

Yu Jiao thought of what Cui Mubai said, her heart moved slightly, but she just nodded lightly.

We had dinner in the flower hall in the evening. Since Liu Yaozhen and her husband were also there, the meal became very lively with many people present.

Yu Jiao only glanced at Yu Qizhe when she entered the flower hall. He seemed to be more calm. Seeing that the cracked jade pendant was still hanging on his waist, she looked away.

Liu Yu never talked about official business at the dinner table. Even if Yu Jiao wanted to hear about Yu Qizhe's current situation in the Hanlin Academy, she couldn't hear it.

After dinner, the women returned to the backyard, the servants cleared the dishes and brought in tea, and Cui Mubai and Yu Qizhe stayed in the flower hall to talk to Liu Yu.

Yu Jiao didn't walk far before looking back. She sent Liu Yaoyu back first and stood in the corridor for a while. Then she turned around and quietly stood beside the partition of the flower hall to listen to the sounds inside.
