“After kneeling for a long time, it’s inevitable for people to dream of standing up.” Madam Kou smiled faintly, crumpled the note into pieces, and threw it into the pond beside her, “It’s been many years since we last met Xue’er. Xue’er’s life is not easy. Send more people to take care of her.”

Nanny Zhou saw that Madam Kou had emphasized the word ‘take care’, so she gave an evil smile and bowed. “I understand. Please rest a.s.sured, Eldest Madam.”

Madam Kou always showed a calm smile. She waved her hand at Nanny Zhou, turned around, took the bowl of medicine from her subordinate, and returned to the back garden.

…

On the other side, Gu Qingxue was woken up by the discussion of the three cubs early in the morning.

She got up and made breakfast for the three children. While eating, Gu Qingxue told them about living here in the future.

Dumby and Lingbao were easy to fool. When they heard that Gu Qingxue had ambushed the Yu couple and forced them to sign a promissory note before leaving, they sighed at their mother’s power.

Gu Lin was the only one who was worried.

Seeing Gu Lin, a child who was even more mature than an adult, frown, Gu Qingxue could not bear it.

“Lil’ Lin, with your mother around, you don’t have to worry about anything. You just need to go to school and do what you want to do. Do you remember?” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she rubbed her eldest son’s face, which was as soft as tofu. She felt that it felt good, so she rubbed it a few more times.

“I… I know!” Gu Lin’s little face was badly pinched. He managed to get rid of Gu Qingxue with great difficulty and dragged his siblings to wash the dishes after they had breakfast.

Although they had never lived here since they were born, they had always accompanied Gu Qingxue to work for Madam Yu when they were young. Thus, they knew everything about this courtyard house like the back of their hands.

After eating, Gu Qingxue left the three children at home to look after the house. She planned to make a trip to Qingyuan town.

She had just signed a contract with An Pharmacy. As a doctor, it was not good for her to skip work on the first day. It was better to go and take a look.

Besides, she still had to go and get the nine thousand taels of gold!

After leaving the three children behind to guard the house, Gu Qingxue specifically told them not to open the door to any strangers before she felt relieved and left.

This time, Gu Qingxue found Li Dali and gave him a string of money. In the following month, as long as she went out to Qingyuan Town alone, she could ride on Li Dali’s carriage. Unless it was a chartered carriage, there was no extra charge.

They arrived at the town in a horse carriage. Gu Qingxue immediately rushed to An Pharmacy, only to find out that Huang Rongfa was not at An Pharmacy. Instead, he went to the Yamen early in the morning to wait for her.

Under the guidance of the servant, Gu Qingxue sat on the horse carriage of the pharmacy. Along the way, she listened to the coachman tell her the story with elation.

Huang Rongfa guessed that she would come to get the silver certificates this morning. In order not to let her miss out on more rewards, he went to the Yamen early in the morning to wait for her.

When Gu Qingxue arrived at the Yamen and saw Huang Rongfa, she was dragged into Yamen after receiving nine silver certificates worth one thousand taels of gold.

It was only after Gu Qingxue was dragged into the flower hall in a daze that she understood the situation. She asked the first question of the day, “Did the people from the prince regent’s manor personally come to visit?”

“Yes, Lady Gu, you are really lucky! Look, they are here!” Huang Rongfa said, looking at Rong Zhan and Fu Cheng who were walking towards them from outside the flower hall, Gu Qingxue knelt down without hesitation and saluted them. “Greetings, Young Master. Greetings, County Master.”

Gu Qingxue looked at the person who came and happened to meet Rong Zhan’s eyes.

Invisible sparks shot out between the two of them, and Gu Qingxue’s expression froze slightly.

It was actually him!

It was the handsome man who had been shot in the b.u.t.tocks by her tranquilizer gun!
