Chen Guan thought that Yu Jiao's previous medical treatment was mostly due to poverty. Now that she was in the Liu family, she didn't have to worry about money. There was really no need for her to get involved in this mess and bring herself inconvenience.
Shen Guan only came to talk to Yu Jiao because she felt sorry for the third wife of the Wu family as a woman. As for whether to go to the Wu family for treatment, Shen Guan fully respected Yu Jiao's decision.
"What kind of poison did the third wife of the Wu family get?" Yu Jiao asked.
Chen Guan shook her head and said, "I didn't ask in detail." She didn't know any medical skills, so how could she think of asking this? Moreover, it involved the secrets of the inner house, so it would be inappropriate for her to ask too much.
Yu Jiao glanced at the sky outside. The dusk faded away and night had arrived.
She said, "Wait until tomorrow, I will go to Wu's house with you."
"Huh?" Shen Guan was a little surprised, "You're going to see Mrs. Wu San?"
Yu Jiao nodded. She had been learning medicine from her grandfather since she was young. Although she didn't want to save the world and enlighten all living beings, the purpose of learning medicine was to treat people. Otherwise, not only would her medical skills be wasted, but she would also be sorry for her grandfather's teachings since she was young.
She would not give up her career as a doctor just because she was now a daughter of the Liu family, but she also did not want to cause trouble to the Liu family. Yu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "I will go with you tomorrow. I will bring a face towel with me and just say that I happened to come to the capital from Qingzhou."
Shen Wan nodded, thinking that this method was just right. She said, "Then I will pick you up at your house tomorrow. Do you want to hide your visit from your family?"
Yu Jiao shook her head. She had no intention of hiding her medical practice from the Liu family. "I'll tell my elder brother when I get back."
Shen Wan knew that she was a person with her own opinions, so she didn't worry too much. "Then I'll go back first. It's getting late, you should go home early too."
Yu Fuling was just bringing in the food. Seeing Shen Wan was about to leave, she tried to persuade her to stay, "Miss Shen, why don't you eat first?"
Chen Wan smiled and said, "No, I've been out for so long, my parents will be worried if I don't go back."
The maid of the Shen family who was waiting outside the house came forward, and Yu Jiao sent Shen Wan out of the yard. She watched her get on the carriage and leave before turning back to the yard.
"Miss, it's time for us to go back home." Jianjia reminded her, "The eldest master has already sent someone here in the evening."
Big brother actually sent someone to look for her. Yu Jiao looked at Yu Fuling who was busy serving rice in the main hall. She said, "Have dinner before leaving."
Jianjia didn't say anything more. As early as when she was assigned by the eldest master to work for Yu Jiao, he had told her and Bailu that the only master they would serve from now on was the third young lady.
During the meal, Yu Jiao mentioned that she would go to the Wu family for a medical consultation tomorrow. If surgery was really needed, she would need Yu Fuling to help her, so after the meal, Yu Fuling followed Yu Jiao back to the Liu Mansion.
Yu Qizhe sent the two of them out of the hospital. Yu Jiao got on the carriage and said to him, "My sister and I will go to see a doctor tomorrow. I will come to see you in a few days."
Yu Qizhe responded, raised his hand and touched Yu Jiao's soft hair, "Go back."
Yu Jiao looked at Yu Qizhe with longing eyes, feeling a little reluctant. After a long while, she said, "Then I'm leaving."
Yu Qizhe watched the carriage go away before returning to the yard.
Liuzi winked at Song Nian, who followed hesitantly and took the initiative to admit his mistake, "Sir, two girls came here today, and I... made things difficult for them. I stopped them from entering."
Yu Qizhe didn't look at him, and just said, "Don't do it again next time."
Song Nian nodded quickly, his expression relaxing a little. He didn't expect that he had been more careful today and ended up stopping the wrong people. Those two girls were actually the young master's family members. Fortunately, the young master did not blame him.
After returning to the Liu residence, Yu Fuling was asked to go back to Yingyue Pavilion first, while Yu Jiao went to Baoshou Hall to do moxibustion for Old Madam Liu. The old lady took Yu Jiao's hand and asked, "No hurry, have you eaten yet?"
Yu Jiao nodded, "Grandma, I came back after dinner."
Old Madam Liu asked Mother Liu to bring Yu Jiao a bowl of bird's nest and let Yu Jiao eat the bird's nest before continuing with her work.
Mother Liu went out of the house during the day to get medicine and prepared moxa sticks. When Yu Jiao was doing moxibustion for the old lady, the old lady asked some questions about Yu Qizhe, and Yu Jiao answered them one by one.
Hearing that Grand Scholar Shen was giving advice on Yu Qizhe's writing, the old lady said, "Shen Jinchun is your father's favorite student, very talented, and to be favored by him, the young master of the Yu family must be good."
Yu Jiao smiled and said, "Grandma, Miss Shen wants to ask me out tomorrow."
The old lady smiled and said, "Chen Wan is a girl with a good heart. She has inherited her father's talent. Grandmother will be relieved if you play with her."
After fumigating the old lady with moxa, Yu Jiao returned to her own courtyard and found Liu Ziqi sitting in the main hall.
After Yu Jiao entered the room, she called out, "Big brother, why are you here so late?"
"Back from grandma?" Liu Ziqi went to Baoshoutang during the day and heard the old lady say that Yu Jiao prescribed medicine for her and used moxibustion to treat her cold.
He then asked, "Did you have fun going out today?"
Yu Jiao nodded, thinking of the time when her elder brother went to see Yu Qizhe and said something like that, she asked, "Yu Qizhe and I... elder brother should know about it. Don't you like him?"
Liu Ziqi looked into her clear eyes and said against his will, "It's not that I don't like it."
On the contrary, if he didn't look at Yu Qizhe as his brother-in-law, he would admire him very much. But if he was to be paired with Yu Jiao, that man had a deep and complicated mind at a young age, and was not really a good match.
Yu Jiao's expression relaxed, and she smiled slightly and said, "He is a very good person, he studies very hard, he is very motivated, and he treats me very well."
Liu Ziqi looked at the expression on Yu Jiao's face and it was clear that she liked that man very much. He didn't want to make Yu Jiao unhappy, so he suppressed his prejudice against Yu Qizhe in his heart.
At the beginning, he had promised Yu Jiao that she could decide her own marriage. Fortunately, Yu Jiao was still young, and this temporary love might disappear one day. Liu Ziqi said, "You haven't reached the age of marriage yet, and you just returned to the capital. Father and grandmother want to keep you by their side for a few more years. Marriage is a big deal, so don't rush it."
Yu Jiao understood what Liu Ziqi meant, and her face slightly heated up. She was just a little girl, and she had never thought about getting married. She defended herself by saying, "I'm not in a hurry."
Liu Ziqi smiled slightly, stood up and said, "You should rest early. The food in Xinglou is good, and Chang'an Street is also very lively. I will take you out for a walk tomorrow?"
"I'm afraid it won't be possible tomorrow." Yu Jiao told her that Chen Guan asked her to see the third wife of the Wu family.
Liu Ziqi frowned slightly. The Wu family, right councillor of the Ministry of Public Administration, was a member of Shen Tian's faction. Councillor Wu was used to changing his attitude according to the situation in the court. He had rejected many memorials from the Qingliu faction and had deep grudges against them. He was not someone who was easy to get along with. However, he could not tell these to a little girl like Yu Jiao.
Liu Ziqi warned, "Bring Jianjia and Bailu with you tomorrow."
