The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 284: So Quiet It Makes You Want to Cry

Gu Mei lowered her head. How could she face Yun Jiao?

If it weren’t for the fear of being trafficked and sold to that kind of place again like in her past life, she would rather escape to somewhere no one knew her and start a new life.

But that was impossible. A weak woman traveling alone would quickly become a target.

Even in her own hometown in her past life, she had been put into a sack.

Moreover, when she left home, Yun Jiao gave her ten taels of silver, and she understood that this silver was Yun Jiao’s last mercy towards her.

After Gu Lian finished speaking, she fully expected Gu Mei to be happy. Who knew she would remain silent, looking worried.

Gu Lian immediately realized something was amiss.

Perhaps the two sisters had some conflict.

Maybe this was also the reason Yun Jiao didn’t come by.

Gu Lian didn’t say more and went to the small vegetable garden at the back to pull out some greens.

Yun Jiao was busy until noon and hurriedly ran to the back to eat.

She had just picked up a bowl of rice and taken a few bites when she suddenly thought of her aunt.

She asked Mrs. Li, "Where’s Auntie?"

Mrs. Li sneered, "Why mention her for no good reason?"

She extremely disliked her sister-in-law.

Yun Jiao frowned, "I just asked Auntie to come in and sit, didn’t you see her?"

Mrs. Li shook her head, "Didn’t see her."

Yun Jiao looked at her suspiciously. Her aunt and her mother didn’t get along, and whenever they met, they would argue. Well, arguing wasn’t quite right—usually, her aunt would criticize Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li would cry.

Then her father would mediate, ask her aunt to stop talking, and comfort Mrs. Li.

She suspected that Mrs. Li had driven her aunt away.

She recalled that when she was a child, if her aunt came back home, she would always buy beautiful dresses and hairpins for her and Gu Mei.

A few times during the New Year, she even secretly slipped her some money.

The reason people have feelings for someone is essentially based on memories.

Based on the things they’ve experienced together in those memories.

At this moment, Yun Jiao remembered these things and felt a warmth in her heart.

She didn’t say anything more to Mrs. Li, hurriedly finished her meal, and went to the front to continue her consultations.

Today, several people came looking for her about their eyes, with conditions similar to Lady Yun’s. She still couldn’t perform surgery on them and told them to come back in half a month.

She still needed to prepare a bright operating room, a wooden bed, and there wasn’t much disinfectant left, she needed to prepare more.

She still needed to go to the medicine market to restock.

She suddenly realized she had so many things to do that the staff in the store really weren’t enough.

And Ah Hu and Lin Shuo, those two who came with their own meal costs, had already naturally transitioned from guards to security, so it really wasn’t right to ask them to do anything more.

She needed to hire a shop assistant first.

While Yun Jiao was busy, bustling with activity, the Qilin Hall diagonally across was silent as a grave.

Since opening the door in the morning, only a few customers had come in to buy bruise medicine and White Medicine, and Manager Sun angrily drove them away.

After that, both the staff and Doctor Zhang tried not to make any noise, lest they provoke Manager Sun’s temper.

Manager Sun walked countless circles in the shop, then stood at the shop door, staring sinisterly at that side.

He had been running a pharmacy for over twenty years and had never encountered such a scene across the street.

It wasn’t just his own place; even all the pharmacies in Xiang City had never experienced this before.

Was this meant to make sure no one could earn a living?

Manager Sun narrowed his eyes contemplatively, then turned and gave instructions to two of the staff, and headed out.

There are rules in Xiang City.

The pharmacies in Xiang City also have rules.

This can’t be allowed to continue!

Manager Sun hired a carriage shortly after leaving and headed toward the east of the city.
