"Look, he suddenly wants to take you in as his apprentice and treats you so well, but you've never met before. What's his intention?"
Huang Yan's words seemed to hit Ye Jiao hard.
She was also curious about why the master chose her as his apprentice.
Li Beibei even begged him so much at the time, but he didn't show any mercy and instead chose her.
But if it was really like what Huang Yan said, that the master liked her? She didn't think so. Although the master didn't spend much time with her, he had never done anything inappropriate.
Maybe the master saw that she liked Jiang Huaichuan but couldn't get his love, so he felt sorry for her for the sake of his nephew?
The more Ye Jiao thought about it, the more she felt that this possibility was the greatest.
But then again, does the master really have some hidden illness? Is this why he's still unmarried?
Could it be that... the master is not good in that aspect?
Ye Jiao thought intensely, as if she had discovered some great secret. "Yan'er, we don't have any evidence for this, so we can't just talk nonsense!"
"Also, my master definitely doesn't treat me the way you think. He just really treats me as his apprentice."
Huang Yan saw that she didn't believe him at all and sighed, "Alright! I know you're very protective of your master and you're worried that his reputation will be damaged!"
"But as a good sister, I still want to give you some advice. If you really want to stay here, you can't stay single forever, right? When you grow older, who will you be able to rely on?"
"Although Jiang Xiangbei gives me a mysterious feeling, he is really good to you. Even if he really has some hidden illness, if you can always stay by his side and never leave him, he will definitely remember your kindness, so that you can have someone to rely on."
Her heartfelt words made Ye Jiao worried and she couldn't sleep well the whole night.
The next morning, some of the educated youths left the city one after another. Although Huang Yan didn't say it, everyone could see that she was eager to go home.
Ye Jiao didn't sleep well last night, so she got up late.
When she got up, she saw two sweet potatoes on the table. She knew without hesitation that they must have been left for her by Huang Yan.
She packed up her things simply and went to the clinic with the sweet potatoes in her pocket.
The weather has turned cold these days, and some young children in the village have fever. She plans to boil some Chinese medicine and send it home to the sick children.
Before she reached the clinic, she saw Jiang Wanying coming on a bicycle from a distance.
She moved aside a little nervously, lowered her head slightly, and made way for Jiang Wanying.
Jiang Wanying also noticed her. Ever since her uncle brought Ye Jiao home for dinner on the night of her third brother's wedding, Ye Jiao would stay away from her every time she saw her.
Jiang Wanying didn't think too much about it. She came here this time because of Li Beibei's matter and wanted to investigate it thoroughly.
The car stopped outside the Jiang family's gate. The villagers passing by smiled from ear to ear when they saw her, "The number one scholar is here!"
The news that she had passed the imperial examination and won the top spot had already spread throughout the village. Jiang Dongfang wished that everyone in the world would know that his precious niece had done so well in the exam.
He even said that he would hold a banquet in the village to celebrate before Jiang Wanying went to Kyoto to go to school.
Jiang Wanying smiled faintly in response. Seeing that the Jiang family's door was closed, a villager nearby said, "Village Chief Jiang and his wife are at the brigade right now!"
"Thank you!"
Jiang Wanying thanked him and was about to leave when she heard a voice behind her, "I heard that Li Zhiqing is pregnant with Fang Jiaxing's child and is making a scene at the brigade right now!"
