Jiang Youzhi seed to understand sothing and whispered, "Then after we get married, you can tell ."
Yun Jiao felt Jiang Youzhi clearly guessed it; otherwise, he wouldn’t have said such a thing.
Fortunately, Jiang Youzhi switched topics, "Mother asked a few days ago, asking what ti next year would be good for our wedding?"
"I think January would be perfect, don’t you?" After all, January is the nearest month next year.
If possible, he wouldn’t mind getting married on New Year’s Day.
Yun Jiao naturally knew his thoughts and obediently responded with an "Mm".
At this mont, Jiang Youzhi glanced at the lantern-bearing old woman ahead, the maid beside her, and his servant behind him, sighing slightly.
He very much wanted to hug Jiao Jiao, but he didn’t want the servants to look down on her because of it, so he restrained himself.
Shielded by the wide sleeves, he gently pinched her hand.
Yun Jiao forcefully returned the pinch.
They walked all the way, looking at each other, with their gazes seemingly glued together, difficult to separate.
They walked hand in hand all the way to the gate of Yun Jiao’s courtyard.
Jiang Youzhi rubbed the back of Yun Jiao’s hand a few tis before reluctantly letting go.
Yun Jiao smiled at him, turned around, and entered the courtyard.
Early the next morning, Yun Jiao was about to go pay respects to Lady Wu when Hui Xiang reminded her, "Miss, I’m afraid the new bride will be eting the family today."
Yun Jiao had almost forgotten, "Then forget it, I won’t go. I’ll head to the workshop."
She was about to leave when a maid from Lady Wu’s courtyard ca over, bowed to Yun Jiao, and said, "Miss, the lady requests your presence."
Yun Jiao figured it was about the sa matter, so she didn’t ask much and went over with the maid.
Upon reaching the main courtyard, she saw several people on the ground, tied and gagged.
Yun Jiao quickly went inside and saw Lady Wu and the Duke sitting at the head, Aunt Su kneeling on the floor.
Big Maid guarded the door, and the room was empty otherwise.
Seeing Yun Jiao co in, Aunt Su only gave her a glance, her expression remaining extrely calm.
Lady Wu motioned for Yun Jiao to sit down before slowly speaking, "Aunt Su said that cottonseed oil is a good thing. Her father and elder brother have consud it for years without any ill effects, and they’ve had children."
Aunt Su, kneeling on the ground, gently parted her lips, "This cottonseed oil is very rare, and consuming it has great health benefits. Cottonseeds are difficult to collect and yield little oil."
"Every year, when we get so, we eagerly bring it here for the Duke’s enjoynt; originally, it was an act of goodwill. Who would’ve thought we’d be accused like this by Doctor Gu—such an unjust accusation."
Yun Jiao raised an eyebrow; was Lady Wu asking her to argue with Aunt Su?
But in this era, there was no way to experint, and she couldn’t prove that cottonseed oil really could kill sperm.
It seed Aunt Su was also confident she couldn’t prove it, which was why she remained so calm.
After all, the stuff wasn’t poison; eating it didn’t show any harm.
Yun Jiao hadn’t planned to argue with Aunt Su.
She thought for a mont and said, "Aunt Su’s father and brother really have been consuming cottonseed oil for years?"
Aunt Su replied, "Of course, if the miss doesn’t believe it, you can ask our Su Mansion’s chef."
Yun Jiao slowly nodded, "Perhaps it really is a good thing."
She turned to the Duke, "If that’s the case, why not save the cottonseed oil for the second young master; I see he’s rather thin and surely needs sothing good."
