Her past life's experience had taught her that no one could rely on themselves as much as she could. At a critical moment, if there was no one by his side, he had to have the ability to survive.
This was the reason why she was willing to learn making incense. Besides earning money, she also wanted to have the ability to do so.
Qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting could only be used for the sake of one's emotions, but they were of no use. If she could learn Yi Xin's skills, she would have the ability to protect herself.
Yi Xin's personality was frank and straightforward, she did as she was told. When Ye Yuning returned, she immediately took out a cave book and gave it to him.
"Remember these acupuncture points. I'll teach you how to use the needle after I've memorized it. " Yi Xin said frankly.
Ye Yuning looked at the complicated acupuncture points on the book and could not help but ask with her head big: "There are so many? Is there a way to learn quickly? "
It was definitely impossible for Ye Yuning to remember so many acupuncture points in a short period of time. She had originally thought that she could use them very quickly, but she didn't expect it to be so complicated.
"If you can't remember, then don't learn." Yi Xin answered bluntly.
Learning to become a doctor was not something that could be done overnight. It was impossible to find the correct acupuncture points and save lives at the most crucial moment.
… ….
At the same time, in the other box, Concubine Qiao was ordered to lock up after returning to the second room.
Concubine Qiao had always been pampered, and even when the Second Madam had tried to force him, Ye Shengxiao had never ignored her. But today, Ye Shengxiao was truly angry. The servants of the Lotus Fragrance Garden had the habit of observing the expressions of the people. Seeing that Concubine Qiao was really defeated this time, they immediately mocked and ridiculed him, adding insult to injury.
Concubine Qiao was locked in her room crying sorrowfully. The servant brought the lunch over, but Concubine Qiao did not even glance at it.
When the news was sent back to the main house, Ye Shengxiao was eating in Second Madam's room, and when he heard it, his expression immediately darkened.
Second Madam looked at him and said softly: "I'm afraid Concubine Qiao feels wronged. Old master, do you want to lower your head to her?"
These words were said intentionally for Ye Shengxiao to hear. The Second Madam wanted to see if the Second Elder would still stand up for Concubine Qiao at this moment, as he did not understand the logic of right and wrong.
Ye Shengxiao angrily snorted, he slapped the chopsticks down, "What is she? How dare I disobey your father's words! Let her hunger strike! I want to see how long she can hold on for! You'll lose my face! "Ignore her, eat!"
Second Wife went straight to the point, picked up a chopstick of arowana and put it into his bowl, gently and obediently.
Seeing that, Ye Shengxiao could not help but sigh in his heart: It's still better to be a madam, and never cause trouble with him.
"You're so thin, eat more." Ye Shengxiao also picked up a dish for Second Madam.
Second Madam was flattered and looked at him in surprise. In all these years, this was the first time Ye Shengxiao treated her so warmly.
Second Madam wasn't moved at all. She understood second master's personality very well, it was just a spur of the moment thing. In a few days, with just a few words from Concubine Qiao, he would probably be back there again.
With that thought, Second Madam Gu decided to take this opportunity to fiercely suppress Concubine Qiao. She would not have another chance to recover.
After noon, the second master left the house, and the second wife called for a servant to instruct him, "Master has ordered, since Concubine Qiao wants a hunger strike, it shall be as she wishes, starting from today, no more food will be sent out."
Seeing that the people below had different expressions, the Second Madam said coldly, "If I find out that you guys are in contact with Concubine Qiao in private, you can sell it off immediately!" With that, Second Madam Gu flicked her sleeves and left, bringing her personal servant to the Fragrant Garden.
The maidservants looked at each other in dismay. The Second Madam usually did not have such a temper. For some reason today, she actually said such heartless words.
On this day, Concubine Qiao did not manage to drink any more water. When night fell, he was so hungry that her head was spinning around and she no longer had the strength to cry. The courtyard was exceptionally quiet. The wind rustled as the insects chirped, but the silence only increased.
Concubine Qiao peeked through the window, but there was no one around, she could not help but feel a sense of panic.
Master... It couldn't be that he was really ignoring her, right? Concubine Qiao held onto her sleeves, her eyes full of fear.
The only thing she could rely on in the Ye's Mansion was the second master's care. Without this, she would be like a grasshopper in the autumn, unable to escape for long.
The night was getting darker. Concubine Qiao laid on the ground weakly, tears flowing down her cheeks and soaking her body. At this moment, a soft sound could be heard.
Du, du, du!
"Aunt?"
Concubine Qiao got up and quietly opened the window. Outside the window, Ye Yujiao was standing.
"Aunt, I've brought some snacks with me. You eat first while your stomach is stuffed. Tomorrow, I will think of a way. I definitely won't let you go on like this!" Ye Yujiao stuffed a small cloth bag inside.
Concubine Qiao's eyes moistened once again, "My good daughter … This time, it's Aunt's fault, it's all because of that Concubine Su! "
Concubine Qiao remembered what happened last night and grinded her teeth in hatred. If Concubine Su had not given her such a rotten idea, how would she have angered the Second Elder?
Ye Yujiao frowned: "What does this have to do with Concubine Su?"
"It was all her idea! He couldn't bear to see the Old Master and Lady Wen in such a good state, so he thought of a way to destroy them. It was also because I was stupid that I didn't understand this plan. My daughter, you have to be careful in the next few days, you definitely can't make your father hate you. Otherwise, the two of us really wouldn't have a good time. " Concubine Qiao was worried and couldn't help but remind Yue Yang.
Ye Yujiao thoughtfully nodded her head. In her residence, other than her mother, the only person who could possibly protect him was her father.
With Concubine Qiao's actions today, it would likely be difficult for him to regain her previous attitude for a period of time. If Ye Yujiao was smart, she would have calmed down already and did not show herself at this time.
Ye Yujiao comforted her a little and took advantage of the fact that no one noticed him sneaking away.
"Whether it's Concubine Su, Ye Yuning or those people in the main house, we'll see!"
Xiang Er would report the news of the Second Branch in detail to Ye Yuning every day. When Ye Yuning heard that Concubine Qiao had been punished, the corners of her mouth slightly tilted upwards, and she did not hold back.
When Ye Shenghe heard about what had happened, he felt extremely pained.
Her most beloved daughter was coveted by people like Li Changle, then pushed into the water by the sisters from the second room. Ye Shenghe never thought that, in just a few months, so many unexpected things would happen at home.
Therefore, when Ye Yuning came to pay her respects early in the morning, she said gently, "YuNing, it has been hard on you these days.
Ye Yuning tilted his head as she thought about it, then shook his head: "I understand daddy's intentions. Don't worry about me, I'm fine. Mother hasn't recovered yet! Your daughter is still serving your mother at home. "
