Xiao Hen curled his lips and looked at her: "Are you sure?"
Gu Jiao nodded: "The earlier I go, the sooner I can return."
"Yes, if you don’t hurry, they’ll make you drink as punishment."
It was Yujin’s voice.
Yujin smiled as she entered with a food box in hand.
Yu Yaya smiled and bowed to her at the door: "Aunt Yujin!"
Yujin smiled and patted her hand: "You go eat something too. I’ll handle things here."
Yu Yaya shook her head: "No way, I have to take care of Miss!"
Yujin said warmly: "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her for you."
Yu Yaya looked towards Gu Jiao inside the room: "Then..."
"Listen to Aunt Yujin." Gu Jiao said.
"Give it to me." Yujin said to Yu Yaya.
Since Gu Jiao spoke, Yu Yaya was no longer stubborn. She stuffed the small first aid kit tied with red silk and safflower into Yujin’s arms: "Thank you, Aunt Yujin!"
"Bier." Yujin called a maid nearby, asking her to lead Yu Yaya to eat.
Yujin then carried the food box into the bridal chamber and said to Xiao Hen: "Young Marquis, I’ll take care of things here, you hurry along."
Xiao Hen glanced at Gu Jiao and said softly: "I’ll be back soon."
Gu Jiao: "Mm."
Xiao Hen left the Orchid Courtyard.
Yujin took out the snacks from the food box, arranged them on a tray, and placed them by Gu Jiao’s side.
Gu Jiao doesn’t like overly sweet and greasy foods, so the snacks were all very light.
She took a piece of Crab Yellow Crisp and gently ate it under her veil.
Yujin poured a cup of Flower Tea for her.
She took the cup and asked: "Aunt Yujin, what are you looking at?"
Yujin was surprised; you can tell I’m glancing around even under that veil?
Yujin laughed awkwardly: "Ah, it’s nothing, Princess Xinyang said she’ll come to visit you soon."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Xinyang came over wearing luxurious clothes.
Yujin retreated and left.
Princess Xinyang sat on a stool by the bed, and when she saw Gu Jiao was almost done eating, she lightly coughed and handed over the bundle in her hand.
