After returning home and packing up and changing out of this outfit, Gu Qinghe followed Shao Wei to the Duke's Mansion.

The Duke's Mansion is much more lively today than it was yesterday. Perhaps it's because the old lady fell ill yesterday, so people from the first and second houses are all here today.

Last night, Luo Feng also heard about the old lady's illness, and this morning he insisted on coming to the Duke's Mansion to see the old lady.

When Gu Qinghe followed Shao Wei, the old lady's room was already crowded with people.

The young man leaning against the door in a lazy manner is Shao Jinsheng, the eldest son of the second wife. He and Shao Wei are notoriously at odds with each other.

Perhaps it was because he was the legitimate son and Shao Wei was the illegitimate son, but all these years everyone had to compare him with Shao Wei, which made him dislike Shao Wei no matter how hard he tried.

When he was young, he often took his anger out on Shao Wei.

When he saw Shao Wei from the corner of his eye, Shao Jinsheng immediately stood up straight. He glanced over and landed on Gu Qinghe. He scanned her from head to toe, then laughed with great disdain, "Is this the doctor you found to treat your grandmother? Have you become stupid after spending these years in the military camp?"

"Jinsheng!" Mrs. Hu came over and glared at him, "This Doctor Gu saved my grandmother yesterday, and my mother didn't even have the chance to thank him. How could he be so rude?"

Mrs. Hu looked like a very gentle woman, and her eyes were full of love as she looked at Shao Wei.

"Mother is feeling much better today. She was very happy to see Luo Feng in the morning and even ate a lot more breakfast," she sighed, "I feel sorry for Luo Feng. You are usually busy with official duties and there is no one in your family who knows you well. This child is still young and needs your care."

Mrs. Hu looked at Shao Wei with a caring look on her face. "To be honest, instead of letting this child stay with you in the unpopular general's mansion, it is better to let him stay in our Duke's Mansion. At least there are more people in the Duke's Mansion, and he will be happier."

"Don't do that," Shao Jinsheng chuckled and said sarcastically, "No matter how much mother says, others may not appreciate it. Besides, children are naughty. If they turn around and bump into something, then mother will be blamed."

Hu said awkwardly, "Shut up."

Gu Qinghe raised her eyebrows. She had no interest in the drama performed by the mother and son. Fortunately, Luo Feng seemed to have heard Shao Wei's voice and ran out excitedly, "Daddy."

As soon as he called out "Dad", he saw Gu Qinghe standing next to Shao Wei. His eyes sparkled and he changed his pace from running towards Shao Wei to running towards Gu Qinghe, "Sister Gu!"

This little brat has gained a lot of weight after not seeing him for a few days. It seems that Luo Feng suffered a lot during the time he was kidnapped. Now that he is back, he naturally wants to make up for all the suffering he went through during that time.

The servants in the general's mansion watched Luo Feng grow up, so they naturally indulged him and found ways to make delicious food for him.

Seeing that Gu Qinghe was about to be hit, Shao Wei raised his hand and pressed Luo Feng's head directly. With a little force from his index finger, Luo Feng was forced to take a few steps back. He looked at his father with a pout, his eyes full of accusations.

He hasn't seen Sister Gu for a long time, why can't he hug her?

Shao Wei glanced at him, ignored his accusation, stepped aside, and said to Gu Qinghe: "Go in."

When they entered the inner room, the Duke's wife was talking to the old lady. When she saw Gu Qinghe coming, she smiled and said, "This is the Doctor Gu. Mother, you don't know that your daughter-in-law was scared to death yesterday."

She stretched out her hand and gestured, "The silver needle is so long, it scares me just looking at it, but Doctor Gu asked his daughter-in-law to help press it."

The Duke's wife covered her chest with her hands, still feeling frightened when she recalled yesterday's excitement.

The old lady had naturally heard of Gu Qinghe, and knew that it was Gu Qinghe who saved Luo Feng. In addition, Luo Feng had been chattering in her ear all day long, praising Gu Qinghe, which naturally made her extremely curious about this Doctor Gu.

The old lady's somewhat gentle gaze fell on Gu Qinghe, with a kind smile on her face. She paused when she saw the red spot on Gu Qinghe's face, but soon looked away and smiled at the Duke's wife, "Such a young girl is really as capable as a man."

There was obvious admiration in her eyes.

The old lady has lived for so many years. When she was young, she single-handedly supported the entire Duke's Mansion. She has seen all kinds of people and has her own unique insights when it comes to judging people.

She looked at Gu Qinghe, her eyes showing admiration, "Come and sit down."

Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "Let me check the old lady's pulse first. The old lady's condition is much better than I expected yesterday. Maybe she won't need the acupuncture tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the Duke's wife quickly stepped aside.

Gu Qinghe put his hand on it, his eyelashes drooping slightly.

Shao Wei and his son stood beside the screen, their eyes fixed on her in unison.

The old lady's hand was held by Gu Qinghe, but her eyes were not idle. She looked at this and that, and a hint of understanding flashed across her mind. She withdrew her gaze calmly, but the smile in her eyes was a little too obvious.

After taking the pulse, Gu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, "It is indeed much better than I thought. There is no need for acupuncture tomorrow. I will prescribe a prescription for the old lady to drink. Come back for acupuncture in seven days."

Shao Jinsheng squeezed in from behind at some point, crossed his arms over his chest and raised his eyebrows at Gu Qinghe, "Will it be healed after the acupuncture?"

"Of course it's not that simple," Gu Qinghe said without even looking up. He took out a pen and paper from the medicine box and replied to Shao Jinsheng while writing down the prescription. "If Mr. Shao San feels that he can't trust me, he can just find someone he can trust."

What Shao Jinsheng hated most was being called the Third Young Master Shao.

As a legitimate son, he actually had to call Shao Wei, the descendant of a lowly woman, his second brother, which was a great insult to him.

He looked at Gu Qinghe sinisterly, as if he was looking at a corpse whose fate was already determined.

But looking at the red spot on Gu Qinghe's face, Shao Jinsheng felt a little relieved in his heart. He, Shao Wei, could only be worthy of such an ugly woman.

Thinking of this, the anger in his heart dissipated a little, and he chuckled and turned away.

The Duke's wife had never liked Shao Jinsheng. She didn't even glance at him. As soon as he left, she said to Gu Qinghe, "Don't pay attention to him. Jinsheng is a spoiled child. He speaks without restraint. But he is like this because he misses his grandmother. Don't bother with him."

Gu Qinghe shook his head, "It's okay."

She handed the prescription to the servant beside the old lady. Just as she packed up the medicine box, Luo Feng, who had been waiting for a long time, hugged her.

Gu Qinghe's eyebrows curved, and her expression could not help but soften. She raised her hand and rubbed Luo Feng's head, "You have gained so much weight. What delicious food did you eat in the mansion?"
