The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 282: Hope and Disappointment

Shen Qing replied while eating, "I got injured while moving goods today."

"It’s nothing, I’ll go to Renxin Hall tomorrow and buy some bruise liniment to apply, it’ll be fine."

"Uncle Li and the others all use it, they say it’s very effective." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Gu Lian nodded, "Then make sure you buy it."

Shen Qing took another bite of food and continued, "I heard that Renxin Hall was quite lively today."

"Doctor Gu at Renxin Hall healed Lady Yun, and the Prince Mansion sent a lot of gold, silver, and jewels over."

Gu Lian chuckled, "That doctor’s surname is Gu? The same as mine, it seems."

She suddenly paused, "Surname Gu?"

"Could it be your uncle?"

Gu Mei’s hand also trembled slightly. She exchanged a glance with Gu Lian, then both looked at Shen Qing.

Shen Qing shook his head, "I don’t know about that."

Gu Lian’s heart became eager, "Qing Er, do you still remember what your uncle looks like?"

Shen Qing thought for a moment, "It’s a bit blurry. I haven’t seen my uncle for over three years."

Gu Lian lowered her head and stitched a few more times, "Then tomorrow I’ll go to that Renxin Hall for you to buy the bruise liniment, and by the way, check if that Doctor Gu is your uncle."

She sighed, "It would be great if it really is your uncle. It’s been a year, neither dead nor alive, not a trace found."

Gu Mei kept her head down silently.

It would be great if it really were her father.

For a moment, she wondered if it truly was her father, when he returned to Chunlin County and found out about all the things she did, would he beat her to death?

Gu Mei shivered.

She didn’t know whether to hope that person was her father or not.

Early the next day, Gu Lian finished washing clothes and hanging them to dry, instructed Gu Mei, and indeed set off towards Renxin Hall with her purse, asking around on the way.

When she reached the entrance of Renxin Hall, she saw a long queue stretching out from inside.

This scene startled Gu Lian, and she hurriedly grabbed an elderly lady in line to ask, "Do you have to queue to buy medicine?"

The elderly lady shook her head, "They’re all here to see Doctor Gu."

"You can just go inside if you want to buy medicine."

Gu Lian sighed with relief, and became even more curious about this Doctor Gu.

She hurried inside and first glanced at the end of the line.

At the end of the line was a table, behind which sat a young girl of about fifteen or sixteen, taking someone’s pulse.

Gu Lian was a bit confused, seeing a tall young man walking around, seemingly maintaining order, she quickly asked, "Young man, may I ask, who is Doctor Gu here?"

Ah Hu pointed at Yun Jiao, "Look, the one doing the consultations is Doctor Gu."

Gu Lian felt a deep disappointment, "It’s just a young girl!"

Ah Hu glanced at her sideways, "So what if it’s a young girl? Are you here to see a doctor or to eye the person?"

Gu Lian hurriedly waved her hand, "I didn’t mean it like that."

"I wanted to ask if there’s another male Doctor Gu here, in his thirties."

Ah Hu shook his head, "No, we only have one Doctor Gu here."

Gu Lian realized she’d found the wrong person.

She shook her head and walked over to the counter, "I want to buy some bruise liniment."

Zhang Shun and Liu Zhu were busy, so Ah Tie fetched a bottle of bruise liniment for Gu Lian, "Two pieces of silver."

Gu Lian was startled, "That expensive?"

Ah Tie explained, "The bruise liniment contains Tienchi ginseng, and the price of Tienchi ginseng has gone up significantly these last two years."

Gu Lian, after all, was from a family with a medical background, so she knew Tienchi ginseng was indeed a premium ingredient and expensive. She said no more, painfully taking out two pieces of silver and handing them to Ah Tie.

She left with the porcelain bottle.

After only a few steps, she heard a voice behind her, "Yun Jiao, I’m going shopping, what do you feel like eating today?"
