The things that can be deposited in Zhengtong Silver Bank must be very important. Yu Jiao said, "Then Zhai Huaiying said that the murder case, do you want me to inform Miss Song Er?"
The Minister of Rites Song Ling is Song Jingrong's grandfather. Yu Jiao will naturally interfere in matters related to Zhu Yu.
Yu Qizhe shook his head. He didn't want Yu Jiao to be in any danger. "Just pretend you don't know about this. I will tell Minister Song."
Yu Jiao nodded. She also felt that it would be better for Yu Qizhe to reveal it to Song Ling.
Zhu Zhui privately met with local officials. He even brought his elder brother-in-law Cui Mubai with him for such a private matter. It can be seen that Cui Mubai and Zhu Zhui must have a very good relationship. Yu Jiao suddenly remembered Yu Qizhe's previous words, "I remember you said that day in Duan Ben Palace, it was Second Master Cui who sent someone to deliver a letter to you?"
Yu Qizhe nodded, "Payment Cui was also in this palace that day."
Yu Jiao had been confused before, but now she suddenly understood. She said, "No wonder I was drugged that day, but I was able to wake up later. I always felt that someone gave me the antidote, otherwise I would not have been able to wake up at all. Now I think it must have been Mr. Cui who helped me secretly."
Yu Qizhe heard her say that and said calmly, "He seems a little weird. Yu Jiao, you should be on guard against others. You should be careful."
Yu Jiao is not that stupid. Cui Mubai entered the palace to be the prince's companion when he was young. Now he is an official in the Hanlin Academy, and he is also the prince's tutor. He is the confidant of the prince Zhu Xun.
Cui Mubai should have known in advance that Zhu Yu was planning to marry her as a concubine. If he really cared about her being Liu Yaozhen's sister, he should have revealed it earlier.
Moreover, Cui Mubai had tried to instigate her several times before, and Yu Jiao also felt that Cui Mubai was a little hard to understand.
"He... is taking Wushisan." Yu Jiao hesitated, but still told Yu Qizhe about this matter. "I just found out from my cousin Li Chu yesterday. He said that Brother Cui took Wushisan in order to have a child, but this medicine is extremely harmful to the body. I don't know whether I should tell my elder sister."
If the eldest brother was at home, Yu Jiao could discuss it with him, but the eldest brother Liu Ziqi was not at home. If she told Yaoyu, given Yaoyu's personality, she would definitely tell her eldest sister.
Yu Qizhe's eyes narrowed, and after a brief thought, he pointed out a clear path for Yu Jiao, "You can first inform Elder Liu about this matter and let him decide."
Yu Jiao agreed. No matter what Cui Mubai's reasons for taking the medicine were, it would be more appropriate to tell her father about it and let him handle it.
There was a noise in the courtyard. Yu Jiao looked outside and saw that it was Jianjia and Bailu who had returned. She looked at the sky which was already setting and said, "It's getting late. I'm going back home."
Yu Qizhe looked at her, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his handsome face, the lines at the corners of his lips tightened a little, and after a while he said, "I'll take you there."
When they reached the gate, Yu Qizhe watched her get on the carriage. When Yu Jiao bent down on the stool, Yu Qizhe lowered his eyes to look at her slender figure. Suddenly, he couldn't help but say, "It's inappropriate to give and take privately. Jiaojiao, can I go to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage?"
Yu Jiao suddenly realized what Yu Qizhe was saying, and hurriedly got into the carriage. After sitting down, she said, "I... I just came of age not long ago..."
She did not refuse outright, which made Yu Qizhe happy. He did not want to push Yu Jiao too hard, so he leaned over and said softly, "When you are ready, let me know, and I will go to the Liu Mansion to propose marriage."
Yu Jiao's mind was a little blank for a moment. Until the carriage left the alley, she didn't know whether she had responded to Yu Qizhe or not.
Yu Qizhe returned to the courtyard. Lu Jin sat on the roof and whistled. He held a jar of wine in his arms, which he had gotten from somewhere. He patted the tiles beside him and smiled at Yu Qizhe, "Junior brother, do you want to hear about Miss Yu's life story?"
Yu Qizhe tiptoed onto the roof and sat down next to Lu Jin. He took the jar of wine from Lu Jin and took a sip. "What did you find out in Huairou?"
"I followed the trail of Ru Niang and found out that there was indeed a woman named Ru Niang who worked as a cook in Tianxiang Pavilion in Huairou, and she was indeed pregnant with a child." Lu Jin paused, picked up the wine jar and took a sip, then continued, "But it's fake. There was an old mute who had been delivering firewood to Tianxiang Pavilion for many years. I found out from him that Tianxiang Pavilion had never had a cook named Ru Niang. It's just that everyone in Tianxiang Pavilion who could speak had been bribed to say that there was such a person named Ru Niang."
"That old mute loves to drink. I gave him several jars of Shaodaozi in exchange for this news. Junior brother, you have to compensate me for the wine!" Lu Jin complained to Yu Qizhe.
Yu Qizhe pointed his finger and said, "I'll compensate you with twenty jars of Shaodaozi."
Lu Jin grinned, "I knew you were a good person!" Then he said seriously, "I also heard another story from the old mute. It was about the supervisor of the East Factory."
