"He... took the medicine in order to have a child with your elder sister." Wei Lichu hesitated for a long time before speaking slowly in a low voice.
Yu Jiao felt inexplicably relieved. She had seen Cui Mubai go to Zhixiang Street and be intimate with a man in the carriage that day. She thought Cui Mubai was going out to have fun.
She thought... Cui Mubai and his elder sister's affectionate appearance was all fake.
"Big sister has asked me to treat his body. There is no need for him to take the Five Stones Powder." Yu Jiao said, "The Five Stones Powder is harmful to the body. If he continues like this, even the Great Luo Immortal can't save him."
Wei Lichu sighed, "Maybe he has his own reasons?"
Wu Shi San is no different from the drugs of later generations, destroying people's body and mind. Yu Jiao really couldn't think of what Cui Mubai's difficulties were. If he just wanted to have an heir, he should just take good care of himself.
Wei Lichu didn't want to say anything more, and was afraid that Yu Jiao would find out more. After thinking about it, he just reminded her, "Don't tell your cousin about this for now."
Yu Jiao nodded. She certainly wouldn't rashly tell this to Liu Yaozhen.
Wei Lichu did not linger any longer. Just as he was about to leave, he thought about the entanglement between Cui Mubai and Zhu Yu. He frowned slightly, stamped his feet, and turned around to remind her, "Third sister, you'd better not interfere in Cui Mubai's affairs. It's not as simple as you think."
Yu Jiao looked at Wei Lichu's departing back, pondering over what he had just said. Could there be some secret behind Cui Mubai's death?
The next day, Yu Jiao asked Wei San to go to Cui's house to pass on the message to Liu Yaozhen, asking her and Cui Mubai to come for a follow-up visit.
Wei San sent back a message, "The eldest lady said that her son-in-law is not at home. He has gone to the Crown Prince's Palace to be on duty. She will bring her eldest son-in-law over in a few days when he is resting."
Yu Jiao nodded and let Wei San go. She sat on the couch and fiddled with the perfume-making device, but she always felt uneasy in her heart. Even though the misty fragrance she made was light and pleasant, with a thick woody scent, it still made her feel a little irritated.
It was hard to tell whether it was because of a series of unpleasant things that happened recently. She also thought that she had not seen Yu Qizhe since Duan Ben Gong's death. She didn't know whether it was really as Cheng Ying said that day, that Duan Ben Gong's affairs did not involve him.
Thinking of this, Yu Jiao simply put down the spices in her hand and said to Jian Jia, "Ask Wei San to prepare the carriage and go to... Kanjing Hutong."
After saying that, Yu Jiao realized that Yu Qizhe no longer lived in Kanjing Hutong, so she changed her words and said, "Let's go to Yong'an Lane."
Jianjia went out in response. Yu Jiao went to the closet and chose a pink lace skirt. She sat down in front of the dressing table and let Bai Lu do her hair. When she saw the red jade pendant in the wooden box, a hint of coldness appeared in her eyes. After Bai Lu finished combing her hair, Yu Jiao said, "Throw away this red jade pendant."
Bai Lu was never a talkative person. After hearing the instructions, she picked up the red jade pendant and went out to throw it away.
The market town beside Yong'an Lane was just like the first time Yu Jiao came here, bustling with people, noisy and lively, full of the flavor of life.
Yu Jiao lifted the curtain and looked out for a while. She saw a stall selling glutinous rice cakes on the side of the road. The sweet fragrance was tempting, so she asked Wei San to stop the carriage and asked Jian Jia to buy some glutinous rice cakes.
While waiting in the carriage, Yu Jiao accidentally glanced and saw Cui Mubai, who was supposed to be on duty in the palace.
She frowned unconsciously, her eyes falling on the man Cui Mubai was following. When she saw the face clearly, her almond-shaped eyes suddenly turned cold.
It turned out to be Crown Prince Zhu Xun!
Both of them were wearing casual clothes, just like ordinary young men out for a trip. People were coming and going in the market, and the two of them soon disappeared in the crowd.
Yu Jiao stuck her head out and saw that the two were heading towards the moat, so she withdrew her gaze.
They went out of the palace privately, how could Cui Mubai be so close to Zhu Yu? Yu Jiao suddenly remembered that Cui Mubai had entered the palace as a tutor to the prince when he was young, so it made sense that he had a good relationship with Zhu Yu.
The carriage turned into Yong'an Hutong, the hustle and bustle of the market gradually faded away, and stopped outside the house that Yu Jiao had bought earlier.
A new plaque was hung above the house, with the words "Yu Mansion" written on it. Yu Jiao got off the carriage, and Bai Lu went forward to knock on the door. After a while, Song Nian poked his head out of the door. Seeing that it was Yu Jiao, he hurriedly opened the door, "Miss Yu, are you here to see our young master? Please come in."
Yu Jiao was a little dazed. It seemed like she hadn't visited Yu Qizhe for a long time, but it wasn't too long either. Yu Jiao glanced at Di Tang by the wall and suddenly realized that the cold winter had passed and it was spring.
