"Brother-in-law?" Yu Jiao recalled the last time she checked the pulse of her elder sister and her husband. Her elder sister said that Cui Mubai would feel hot all over before having sex, and he was in good spirits and his physical strength was much stronger than before.
At that time, she wondered if Cui Mubai had taken an aphrodisiac before having sex, but when she felt Cui Mubai's pulse, she found that it was not weak, so it didn't seem like he had taken such harmful drugs.
"When my second brother was young, he was the prince's tutor in the East Palace. He once fell into an ice cave and has always been afraid of cold." Liu Yaoyu said with a worried look on her face, "I heard from my second sister-in-law that you have been helping her and my second brother recuperate recently. She also said that my second brother's cold has improved. But why is he like this now? Is there something wrong with his body?"
Yu Jiao comforted her and said, "I will ask you to bring your husband to our house in a few days. I will then take your husband's pulse carefully and I will be able to tell if there is anything wrong with his body."
Cui Qiong nodded quickly, "Then you should invite my second sister-in-law and my second brother to come to your house as soon as possible, otherwise I will be worried."
Yu Jiao said, "Then I will send someone to your house tomorrow to deliver a letter to Big Sister."
Cui Qiong smiled and said, "Thank you for your help."
"You don't have to be so polite. Your second brother is also my brother-in-law. I will do my best for him." After Yu Jiao said goodbye to Cui Qiong, they each got on their own carriages.
After the carriage had gone for a while, Liu Yaoyu could no longer hold back and asked, "Cui Qiong has been talking to you for a long time. What does she want from you?"
Yu Jiao did not hide the truth from her and said, "She was worried about her second brother's health and asked about his symptoms. I promised her that I would invite my eldest sister and her husband to come over tomorrow to check their pulses."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yaoyu raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong with my brother-in-law? My sister has never been able to get pregnant. Could it be because of... my brother-in-law?" When she said the second half of the sentence, she subconsciously lowered her voice.
Yu Jiao was also wondering what kind of medicine Cui Mubai had taken, or whether he had a mental illness, which caused him to have the symptoms Cui Qiong described.
Hearing this, she shook her head and said, "It has nothing to do with this. Pregnancy requires the right time, right place, and right people. There are many reasons why you can't get pregnant."
Liu Yaozhen cared so much about Cui Mubai's reputation. She knew that it was Cui Mubai's fault that she failed to get pregnant, but she was unwilling to tell Cui Mubai directly. She just secretly asked her to prescribe medicine for Cui Mubai to nourish his body. Naturally, Yu Jiao could not tell the truth to Liu Yaoyu.
After hearing what Yu Jiao said, Liu Yaoyu's expression was not so nervous. She muttered, "It's good that it's not true. Big sister has always wanted a child. If big sister's husband has a problem with his body and can't get pregnant in the future, big sister will be too miserable."
Yu Jiao didn't say anything else. She leaned against the carriage, thinking about Cui Mubai's symptoms as described by Cui Qiong and the strangeness before sex that Liu Yaozhen had mentioned. She felt that it was indeed a bit like he had taken aphrodisiac drugs. Could those frantic actions of taking off clothes be the sequelae of taking aphrodisiac drugs?
The quick glance at the window on the second floor of Qipinzhai that day suddenly appeared in Yu Jiao's mind. Her heart sank slightly, and even her brows knitted together. If... the person in the carriage that day was really Cui Mubai...
Yu Jiao tugged at her handkerchief. If it was really Cui Mubai, what should she do? Should she tell her elder sister?
Yu Jiao thought of how affectionate Cui Mubai and Liu Yaozhen were, and subconsciously thought that she must have seen it wrong that day.
I just hope she is mistaken, but it must not be Cui Mubai! Yu Jiao couldn't help but pray in her heart.
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Liu Yaoyu asked tentatively, "Did Master Cheng blame you in Xinglou just now because of that Madam Wushuang?"
Yu Jiao came back to her senses. After she was reminded, she felt a dull pain in her knees. She felt cold in her heart, but her face showed no abnormality. She said, "I did go too far at that time. Next time I encounter such a thing, I can just report it to the police. I shouldn't use a weapon to scare people without permission."
Liu Yaoyu was indignant. "It was that Madam Wushuang who was bullying me. I have learned a lot today. How can there be such a mean person who scratches his own face and lies to frame others!"
Yu Jiao laughed at herself, with a tone of unconscious disappointment, "After all, she is Cheng Ying's confidant. Next time I see her, I'll avoid her if I can. After all, you have to look at the owner before you beat the dog."
