"It's better not to go to the palace if possible, and get away from Concubine Xue as soon as possible." Liu Ziqi's voice was a little deep. Although Yu Jiao had several secret guards from Yunxiao by her side, the palace was full of dangers, undercurrents, and complex forces. These secret guards could not protect Yu Jiao closely, and the purpose of the woman kept by Wu Yi in the outer house was still unknown.
Seeing Liu Ziqi was worried, Yu Jiao comforted him, "Brother, just be at ease. I am always cautious when treating Concubine Xue, and I will not cause any trouble."
Liu Ziqi looked at her and smiled gently. He knew that Yu Jiao was careful in everything, always knew her limits, and was sensible and well-behaved. However, in this world, some people would do nothing and would become stumbling blocks and thorns in the eyes of others.
"And Cheng Ying, he is treacherous and a lunatic. You can't treat him like an ordinary person." Liu Ziqi added, "Even if he has adopted you as his adopted daughter, you should not be careless when you are with him."
Yu Jiao agreed with this deeply. Cheng Ying was too dangerous.

Not long after that day, Liu Ziqi packed up and left the capital. Tao Ge'er loved to stick to him the most. He went to Fufeng Pavilion to look for Liu Ziqi but couldn't find him. He cried for a long time and insisted on staying in Fufeng Pavilion waiting for Liu Ziqi to come back. No matter how Wei Ma persuaded him to leave, Yu Jiao heard the noise and went next door to bring Tao Ge'er back to Yingyue Pavilion.
Since Tao Ge'er refused to move back to the East Garden, Yu Jiao asked Jianjia to clean up a room and sent Nanny Wei to tell Madam Liu to let Tao Ge'er stay in her courtyard for a few days first.
In the evening, Nanny Wei brought some clothes for Tao Ge'er, and Tao Ge'er stayed in Yingyue Pavilion and lived and ate with Yu Jiao.
Tao was a very well behaved boy. When Yu Jiao was reading medical books in the room, he stayed aside to dismantle the chain locks without making any noise. Yu Jiao only reminded him once to wash his hands before meals, and he took note of it. Every time before meals, he would wait for the servants to fetch water for him to wash his hands before sitting down at the table.
Once when Yu Jiao was practicing calligraphy, she saw Tao Ge'er staring at her eagerly, so she taught him how to write. Although Tao Ge'er was mentally impaired, he learned to read very quickly. Yu Jiao asked the servants to find some enlightenment books such as "Thousand Character Classic" and "Three Character Classic" to teach him, and took him to practice calligraphy every day. Tao Ge'er studied very hard, and Yu Jiao, as a teacher, felt a sense of accomplishment. In this way, she could kill a lot of time every day.
The business of Qingfengxuan paper shop was becoming increasingly stable. Chen Yu found a capable person to be the shopkeeper and returned to Changkui. Before leaving, he discussed with Yu Jiao that he wanted to take some people to form a caravan to travel to the north and the south of the Yangtze River to see if he could find some other business opportunities and look for a market for rapeseed oil.
Chen Yu was born a businessman. Yu Jiao knew that he was ambitious, so she naturally supported him with all her strength. Manager Zhou and Yu Zhizhou were watching over Xixun County, and she was also taking care of the paper shop in the capital. Chen Yu could completely free himself to do other things.
April is a good time to fly kites when the grass is green and the birds are singing.
That day, Yu Jiao came back from the palace after seeing Concubine Xue Gui, and Tao Ge'er came running over with a few pieces of calligraphy in his hand. He said happily, "Third sister, I have written all the five pieces of calligraphy you asked me to do yesterday. Can we go fly a kite today?"
Yu Jiao had agreed a few days ago to take Tao Ge'er to fly kites in the back garden. She looked at the papers covered with words, smiled and nodded.
Tao Ge'er ran back to the house happily to get the kite. Yu Jiao took off her thin cloak and gave it to Jianjia along with the words, asking her to take it back to the house. She then took Tao Ge'er to the back garden.
