Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

These wild fruits must have been picked by him from the mountain today.

Gu Qinghe handed one to Uncle Fu and continued grinding the medicine powder.

Early the next morning, people from Pingyang came to the courtyard. Gu Qinghe had not slept the whole night. He handed the ointment to the servants, gave them a few instructions on usage and dosage, and then went back to his room and had a good sleep.

It was already evening when she opened her eyes. Uncle Fu saw her get up and hurried to bring her the porridge and sesame cakes that had been kept warm in the kitchen.

"I haven't eaten for a day, so I'll have some porridge first. I'll go to the street to buy some roast chicken later. I heard that the rice wine brewed by the shop on the corner is also very good. I'll buy some to try later."

Gu Qinghe smiled and said, "Okay."

After taking a bite of the pancake, she thought about what Uncle Fu had been watching over during this period of time, and asked, "Is Sister He doing well these days?"

"It's the same as usual. After the banquet that day, Miss Shumin even sent someone to inquire about the girl's whereabouts. She must be worried that the girl might be in danger after being taken away by Princess Pingyang."

Uncle Fu was a bit protective of his own people and didn't have a very good impression of He Shumin. Knowing that Princess Pingyang was very spoiled, He Shumin still did nothing when the girl was taken away, which was a bit disappointing.

But he also knew that even if He Shumin tried to stop him, it would probably be useless. But whether it was useful or not, he had to do it first. As a result, he always felt unhappy when he inquired about the situation in the Su Mansion in the past two days.

Gu Qinghe knew what he was thinking, laughed dumbly, and shook her head at Uncle Fu, "It's not what you think. I told Sister He about this last time. She knows that I want to get close to Princess Pingyang. In addition, I wrote to Uncle He last time to ask about the situation of King Wu. Sister He is still at home. I think she must have guessed some of my plans, so she will not stop me."

Uncle Fu scratched his head and said, "I didn't think much about it."

Gu Qinghe was completely amused by him this time, "Could it be that Uncle Fu wants everyone in this world to be like you and put me first in everything? How is that possible?"

She smiled with her eyes curved like crescent moons, but Uncle Fu couldn't smile. After a long while, he whispered, "You still have to have some."

"What?" Gu Qinghe didn't hear clearly.

"Nothing." Uncle Fu pushed the porridge in front of her again, "If you don't drink it now, it will get cold."

While Gu Qinghe was drinking her porridge, Uncle Fu told her all the news he had heard over the past two days.

"Su Shixuan went to Ganzhou yesterday to perform official duties. As soon as he left, Su's mother and her niece went to the temple together, saying that they wanted to pray for Su Shixuan."

pray?

Gu Qinghe didn't have a very deep impression. After thinking for a long time, she remembered that there seemed to be such a thing in her previous life. Su Shixuan was not in the capital, so Su's mother and Lin Wan'er went to the temple to pray. After Su Shixuan came back, he went to the temple to pick them up, but encountered bandits and Lin Wan'er was almost humiliated. Fortunately, Su Shixuan arrived in time.

But Lin Wan'er felt ashamed and tried to commit suicide several times. After Su's mother persuaded him several times, Su Shixuan finally agreed to discuss with He Shumin to nominally take Lin Wan'er as a concubine.

That makes sense.

Gu Qinghe touched his chin.

With He Shumin's temper, and the fact that she knew the intentions of Lin Wan'er and Su's mother, she naturally knew more about the schemes between the mother and daughter, and even suspected that those bandits were arranged by the mother and daughter.

What's the point of being a concubine in name only? If she had agreed, it wouldn't be long before Lin Wan'er would be able to climb up by stepping on her corpse.

Of course she disagreed, and the couple had the biggest argument since their marriage, which was exactly what Su's mother and Lin Wan'er wanted.

She sighed. How could Sister He fight against these two old foxes?

Gu Qinghe and Mingxuan are open-minded, but when it comes to He Shumin, it is not so easy to be open-minded.

Firstly, she was worried about her child. If she divorced, the Su family would never let her take the child away. Losing the child would be like losing half her life.

Of course, Gu Qinghe couldn't just separate her and Su Shixuan with one blow. This matter still needed to be considered carefully.

She told Uncle Fu, "If there is any news that Su Shixuan is coming back, please tell me in advance."

"it is good."

……

For several days in a row, Gu Qinghe was almost busy, seeing patients who came to her for treatment. After a few days like this, she decided to go to Jingshitang to see patients first.

When the shopkeeper heard that Gu Qinghe was coming, he wanted to roll out the red carpet to welcome her, but fortunately he still had some rationality.

Not many people came to see the doctor on the first day. Most of them had heard of Gu Qinghe's medical skills but had some concerns.

Gu Qinghe didn't care. He followed the procedure and did what he was supposed to do.

I had just finished helping a young lady when I could hear the shopkeeper's raised voice outside through the door.

"You are so polite, old lady. Please wait a moment. Doctor Gu is still seeing patients inside. I will go in and let him know."

"No need. Doctor Gu is busy with work right now. It's not a big deal for me to wait here for a while."

They were all people with sharp eyes, and there was nothing they couldn't understand. As soon as the old butler said this, the shopkeeper immediately understood.

The old lady of the Duke's Mansion didn't just come to give gifts, she was obviously here to support Doctor Gu.

There is no one in the capital who doesn't know the old lady's name. When Duke Zhong passed away, the Duke's Mansion was almost ruined, and it was the old lady who single-handedly held up the mansion.

When talking about the old lady, everyone in the capital city would give her a thumbs up. They all praised the medical skills of Doctor Gu, so what else could there be to doubt?

So the people who were originally watching became excited at this time.

Gu Qinghe came out of the consulting room. The old housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion came forward with a smile and handed a long and thin box in his hand to Gu Qinghe. "I heard that Doctor Gu came to Jingshi Hall to see patients today. The old lady specially asked this old servant to give a gift to congratulate him."

After that, he brought over a food box. "The Imperial Palace is usually very busy. The old lady thought that Doctor Gu would not have time to eat when he was busy, so she specially asked someone to make a nourishing soup, and there are also some cakes made by our own chef. You can fill your stomach whenever you are hungry."

Gu Qinghe was a little surprised, but acted calmly, "The old lady is too polite. Please ask the housekeeper to thank the old lady for me. I will visit the old lady again when I am free another day."

"You're too polite, Doctor Gu."

After completing his task, the butler returned to the Duke's Mansion. When he arrived at the old lady's yard, Shao Wei had not left yet. Seeing him come back, there was no expression on her face.

The old lady glanced at him, the corners of her lips twitched, but she quickly suppressed them and asked the butler, "Has the stuff been delivered?"

"Delivered."

"Did she eat?"

"I see that there are quite a few people waiting outside the clinic. Although Doctor Gu has accepted the appointment, I'm afraid she won't have time to eat. It will probably be too early for her to finish her work."

The old lady glanced at the person next to her and sighed deliberately, "It's hard work, but seeing patients is seeing patients, but you can't ignore your own health, Wei'er, don't you think so?"
