After the two of them had discussed it, Liu Yaoyu's servants packed the luggage, and the maids in the yard went in and out to load things onto the carriage.
Gu Yun and his men came back on horseback, carrying a simple bag on his back. He had moved to the Liangzhou camp some time ago, and the escort team he brought had also been trained in the barracks for some time. They stopped outside the gate of Liu's mansion in a neat formation and waited.
When Wei Min followed the Liu family to the screen wall, he saw Gu Yun sitting on a horse at a glance. He had a thin waist and an upright posture. The sunlight shone on his handsome eyebrows and eyes, and his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes were still bold and dazzling.
Her heartbeat suddenly became irregular. She lowered her eyes, not daring to look any further. She deliberately slowed down her pace and fell behind the Liu family.
Liu E often took Yaoyu and Yujiao out to play recently. Knowing that they were leaving, she was reluctant to let them go. She held Yujiao and Yaoyu's hands and whispered to them, asking them to come back to Pingliang Prefecture when they were free. Yaoyu and Yujiao naturally agreed, but they both knew in their hearts that Pingliang Prefecture was far away from the capital, and it was not easy to come here, and they didn't know when they would be able to come back next time.
After Madam Liu finished talking to Huo Guizhi and Liu Shu and said goodbye, she took Yu Jiao and the others on the carriage. The three Liu sisters still rode in one carriage, and Madam Liu took Tao Ge'er in another carriage. The creaking sound of the wheels was heard, and the group really set off to leave Pingliang Prefecture.
Liu Yaoyu felt guilty. Cui Qiong's letter was the first to reach her, so after getting on the carriage, although she was worried, she dared not say anything and only looked at Liu Yaozhen secretly.
Liu Yaozhen had been in a daze since she got on the carriage and didn't say much.
Unlike the lively and cheerful atmosphere on the way here, the atmosphere on the way back was so depressing that it was hard to relax.
Yu Jiao bought some medical books in Pingliang Prefecture and took them with her on the road to pass the time. She was also a little worried about Liu Yaozhen, but many hurdles in life are inevitable and cannot be overcome with just a few words of greeting and comfort.
"Third sister..." Liu Yaozhen came back to her senses at some point, her eyes fell on Yu Jiao, and she said with some difficulty, "What happened to Mu Bai's body? He is obviously very healthy, why does mother say that he is terminally ill?"
Yu Jiao's fingers, which were about to turn the page, paused slightly, and her neatly trimmed nails pinched a crescent shape on the page. Although she had expected Liu Yaozhen to ask about Cui Mubai's health, she still couldn't help feeling that answering was a bit cruel to Liu Yaozhen.
Seeing Yu Jiao silent, Liu Yaozhen smiled bitterly and said, "Third sister, you don't have to hide it from me anymore. He is my husband after all. No matter what, I don't want to live in confusion. I have to figure it out."
Yu Jiao put down the medical book in her hand, looked at Liu Yaozhen and said, "I'm not trying to hide it from you, big sister. I'm just thinking about how to say it."
She paused and said slowly, "When my eldest sister asked me to check on my brother-in-law, I really didn't find anything unusual. I just thought he had a cold and felt vaguely that something was wrong with his pulse. Later, my eldest uncle went to Beijing, and you brought my brother-in-law to our house for another checkup. At that time, I found that my brother-in-law's pulse was weak and he would not live for more than three months..."
At this point, Yu Jiao said apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry. I didn't tell you at the time. I found out that my brother-in-law was taking Wu Shi San, and I told my father about it. At that time, my brother-in-law's body was already incurable."
After listening to this, Liu Yaozhen's face turned grim. She pursed her lips and said, "Is there really no cure? Third sister, your medical skills are so good, can you think of a way?" She grabbed Yu Jiao's sleeve, her tone almost begging, tears in her eyes.
Yu Jiao couldn't bear to watch, but she still said, "Sister, I really can't be cured. Brother-in-law might have been poisoned. I think he should be clear about his own body."
"Poisoned?" Liu Yaozhen looked confused. "How could it be poisoned? We are husband and wife and eat and live together, how could he be poisoned? Who would want to harm him for no reason?"
Yu Jiao shook her head, fearing that Liu Yaozhen would have a nervous breakdown when she arrived in Beijing. Yu Jiao thought for a moment and said, "Big sister, do you know that Wu Shi San has the effect of strengthening yang?" She said meaningfully, "The child in your belly is hard-won, and your brother-in-law has been looking forward to it for a long time. No matter what happens after you return to Beijing, if you feel very uncomfortable, think about the child in your belly and grit your teeth to hold on."
Liu Yaozhen took her words to heart. She was not a stupid person. After Yu Jiao pointed out that Wu Shi San had the effect of strengthening yang, her confused mind became clear for a moment. She guessed that Cui Mubai might have known that he would not live long, so he took Wu Shi San to make her pregnant. For the rest of her life, she would not have Cui Mubai, but she would still have a child to accompany her...
Thinking of this, Liu Yaozhen almost burst into tears. She turned her face away, covered her eyes with a handkerchief, and choked with sobs.
She didn't believe what Cui Mubai had to do with the prostitute in the brothel.
