Gu Yi strode to the door. When he looked up, he was surprised to see a familiar figure.
Gu Qingxue was wearing a light-colored long dress. Her skin was whiter than snow. She had an elegant smile on her face as she was exhorting the patient.
“Gu Qingxue?” For a moment, Gu Yi thought that he had seen wrongly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had never expected that among the girls who had stolen Renyao Hall’s business, it was actually the eldest daughter of the Gu family, Gu Qingxue! Gu Yi was also a member of the Gu family, so he had naturally heard of Gu Qingxue’s name.

The reason why the Gu family could still have a place in Jing City for such a long time was that the Gu family not only provided imperial physicians, but also took care of the medical business. Renyao Hall was the medicine hall of the Gu family, and almost every town had a branch.
Gu Yi was a member of the five branches of the Gu family, and was also the manager of the Renyao Hall branch in Qingyuan Town. He helped the branch business of the Gu family in Jing City.
He had long known that the eldest daughter had been married off by the Eldest Madam to a remote village near Qingyuan Town. However, now that the Eldest Madam was in charge of the house, it was impossible for him to go and help the useless eldest daughter.
Two days ago, he had heard that the new female doctor from the An Pharmacy was surnamed Gu, but he did not take it to heart.
The Gu family was a medical family with a hundred years of history. The children of the family were usually proficient in medicine. Gu Qingxue was once not outstanding in this aspect. Being able to be a doctor in a small town’s pharmacy and see some seasonal minor illnesses was already her limit.
Unexpectedly, Gu Qingxue’s ability was greater than he had imagined. In just a few days, she had actually snatched the business of Renyao Hall? Looking at the long queue at the entrance of the shop, Gu Yi’s expression darkened. He had a plan in mind.
At the same time, Fu Cheng also entered an pharmacy.
“Hey, County Master, you’re here. Please take a seat.” Huang Rongfa immediately came forward with a big smile on his face when he saw Fu Cheng.
“No need, Shopkeeper Huang. I have some matters to look for Lady Gu. Please lead the way,” Fu Cheng said.
“This... May I know why County Master is looking for Lady Gu?” Huang Rongfa asked with some difficulty.
Fu Cheng did not feel convenient to reveal the task that Rong Zhan had given him, so he casually lied, “I’ve been feeling unwell recently. I heard that Lady Gu’s medical skills are brilliant, so I specially came to take a look.”
After Huang Rongfa heard these words, his expression immediately became even more troubled, “If you want to see a doctor, then I can only trouble you to go out and queue up. Lady Gu has rules. Anyone who comes to see a doctor, regardless of their status, has to queue up.”

“Eh, I’m just an ordinary person. I should queue up. I won’t make things difficult for Shopkeeper Huang. I’ll just wait.” Fu Cheng cupped his hands and walked to the end of the queue immediately.
Huang Rongfa let out a sigh of relief and continued to take care of other businesses.
Not long after Fu Cheng stood still, a burly man who looked like he was not to be trifled with lined up behind him.
Fu Cheng hugged the heater tightly in his arms and stood helplessly in the cold wind to queue up.
He waited in line until noon when he finally saw Gu Qingxue.
Gu Qingxue had been busy all morning. When she raised her head, she saw Fu Cheng staring at a cold and red face. “Master Fu, are you not feeling well?”
“Ahem, a little, a little bit of a cold. I’ll have to trouble you to prescribe some medicine.” Fu Cheng sat opposite Gu Qingxue with a smile. Then, he reached out and handed a brocade box to Gu Qingxue, “Lady Gu, the Young Master asked me to give this to you before he left. He said that Lady Gu could go to Jing City in the future and look for the Young Master with this.”
