Liu Yaoyu was pure-minded and believed Wei Min's words without thinking too deeply. She had no idea that Wei Min wanted to find out about Yu Qizhe from her. She laughed and said, "I do know this person. He is not from our capital. He is a scholar who is preparing for an exam."
Cui Qiong asked curiously, "What does he look like? Is he really so handsome that he can be admired by everyone in Beijing?"
Liu Yaoyu recalled Yu Qizhe's appearance and said pertinently, "He is indeed very handsome. In terms of appearance, it is really hard for him to lose to the famous young men in Beijing."
Cui Qiong was still a little unconvinced when she heard her say that, "Is he really that good-looking? Yaoyu, don't say that because you haven't seen many men and don't have a standard to measure. My second brother is also a standout man in the capital. He often comes back with your elder sister, and you have seen my second brother a lot. You shouldn't look at him like that."
In order to make the topic more natural and as if it was brought up casually, Wei Min smiled and joked, "With a brother as gentle and elegant as Mr. Liu, how could Yaoyu's taste in men's looks be bad?"
Cui Qiong stuck out her tongue and said, "I forgot about Brother Yaoyu."
Liu Ziqi was born with excellent qualities, he was elegant, gentle as jade, and a gentle nobleman. However, he never showed off and seldom interacted with the children of aristocratic families. He was very low-key and easily overlooked.
Liu Yaoyu looked very happy when she heard them praising her elder brother. In her heart, Liu Ziqi was good in every way.
Yu Jiao treated the two siblings of the Yu family as her elder sister and brother. Liu Yaoyu naturally had to speak up for Yu Qizhe. She said, "I didn't say anything nonsense. Young Master Yu is indeed very good-looking, but he is a little cold-tempered. However, he is also a very good person. Don't believe everything you hear. He is still very humble and polite."
"Mr. Yu? The man named Qizhe is surnamed Yu?" Wei Min noticed Liu Yaoyu's address and asked.
Liu Yaoyu nodded, "Mr. Yu is also very talented. I heard that Grand Secretary Shen admires him very much. I wonder if he can pass the imperial examination next year..."
When Liu Yaoyu said this, she really hoped that Yu Qizhe could make the list. After all, their Yu family adopted Yu Jiao and had a favor to do with the Liu family. If Yu Qizhe made the list and stayed in the capital in the future, their Liu family could also take care of him as a way of repaying the Yu family for taking care of Yu Jiao.
Liu Yaoyu was not very clear about Yu Jiao's past in Qingzhou. She always thought that Yu Jiao was adopted by the Yu family and Liu Ziqi brought Yu Jiao back from the Yu family.
"How do you know him?" Cui Qiong asked curiously.
Wei Min pursed her lips, and Cui Qiong asked what she wanted to ask.
Liu Yaoyu felt that there was nothing to hide. Many people in Beijing knew that Yu Jiao was brought back from Qingzhou by the Liu family. She said, "My third sister was originally raised in Master Yu's home. Master Yu can be considered my third sister's brother. Don't have any opinions about Master Yu just because of the rumors you heard."
After hearing this, Wei Min's pupils constricted, and a thunderclap seemed to explode in her head. Liu Yujiao was so young, yet she dared to disregard human ethics and develop forbidden feelings for the man who was like a brother to her!
In horror, her finger accidentally touched the incense burner and she screamed in pain.
"Quick, get some cold water!" Liu Yaoyu and Cui Qiong were both startled. After coming to their senses, Liu Yaoyu hurriedly ordered the maid to get some water and find some ointment.
Wei Min's finger had turned red from being scalded and a blister had formed. She was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. She no longer cared about what happened between Liu Yujiao and Yu Qizhe. She waited for the maid from Yao Yu's room to bring in cold water and quickly soaked her finger in it.
Liu Yaoyu looked at him and became distressed and anxious, "Why did you touch the incense burner for no reason?" At this point, she remembered that she had not burned any incense today, so she said, "Hey, I remember I didn't burn any incense?"
Cui Qiong had a guilty look on her face, and said weakly, "I saw a box of incense pills on your footstool, and they smelled really good, so I burned one in the incense burner."
Only then did Liu Yaoyu notice the faint plum scent in the room. She did not blame Cui Qiong. After all, no one would burn incense on a normal day. It was really Wei Min's own carelessness to touch the incense burner with her fingers.
"How about I ask someone to find my third sister to come over and take a look at you?" Wei Min came to the Liu Mansion as a guest and was injured in her courtyard. Naturally, Liu Yaoyu could not shirk her responsibility. If she asked someone to go out of the house to find a doctor, he might not be back for a while. Yu Jiao always kept commonly used medicines in her clinic, so Liu Yaoyu asked this.
Wei Min soaked her fingers in cold water for a long time, and the burning sensation subsided a little. After listening to Liu Yaoyu's words, she hurriedly shook her head and said, "No, it's not too serious. Today is your third sister's birthday. How can I ask her to come and see me? Don't you have ointment here? I can just apply some ointment."
The maid had already brought the ointment. This ointment for burns was prepared by Madam Liu. Tao'er was young and often bumped into things and got burned. Madam Liu asked the doctor to prescribe some ointments for bruises and burns and kept them in the mansion at all times.
"Will this work?" Liu Yaoyu took the ointment and gently applied it on Wei Min's red and swollen fingers, asking as she applied.
Wei Min took a deep breath and said, "It's not a serious injury. I'm not that delicate."
The man she loved grew up in the Lingnan Army. Even in a place full of poisonous insects and miasma, he never felt it was a hardship and even mastered martial arts. How could she be so delicate that she couldn't even endure burns?
Wei Min felt that with Gu Yun's flamboyant and willful personality, he would definitely not like delicate girls, so over the years, she has been working hard to be a heroic and unfussy woman, so that she can be worthy of Gu Yun.
