Chapter 451: 229 Brother and Sister (Second Update)
Gu Jiao was looking forward to admiring a certain person’s divine beauty, but the palm of his hand was resting gently on her lower abdon, and surprisingly, she didn’t feel any pain. Soon, she fell asleep.
Her breath was even and calm as it passed through her nose.
Xiao Liulang removed his hand gently, adjusting the covers for her, dimming the oil lamp, and left the room softly and quietly.
His fingertips still held her warmth and sweet scent. He stared blankly at his own hand, suddenly realizing that he had made so absurd concessions. He closed his eyes.
What are you doing, Xiao Liulang?
Gu Jiao had slept so deeply that she woke up later than usual. Xiao Jingkong had finished his practice, eaten breakfast, and gone to Guozijian with Xiao Liulang for the morning class.
Gu Jiao went out with Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun.
“Have you taken your dicine?” Gu Jiao asked Gu Yan.
“Yes, I have,” Gu Yan replied.
The antidepressant prescribed by the Yao Family could be discontinued, but Gu Yan had to take his dication for heart failure throughout his life. As he continued to grow older, the effects of his dicine would gradually weaken, and he would need to undergo surgery to be fully cured.
“Sis!” Gu Yan was waiting at the door for Gu Jiao.
“Here I am.” Gu Jiao strapped on her small basket and left the house.
Gu Yan was very cheerful.
His sister was walking him to school today!
With his bag of books, Gu Yan didn’t seem very different from anyone else. His occasional hopping and skipping didn’t affect him, and his illness was well under control.
Gu Jiao looked at Gu Yan’s innocent face, suddenly realizing the bond between them was too strong to break. She could perceive the world through him. When he was happy, she was happy. When he was sad, she was sad as well.
She could not lose him.
She would make him well.
When they arrived at Qinghe Academy, Gu Jiao straightened Gu Yan’s collar and adjusted the crooked collar of Xiaoshun, “Go in now.”
The two of them said goodbye to Gu Jiao, clutching their bags of books and went into Qinghe Academy.
Gu Jiao headed to the dical Hall.
There was a small incident at the dical Hall today, with soone accusing them of causing his wife’s death.
He had even brought the corpse over!
This was a rare occurrence, attracting a lot of attention, causing a crowd outside the dical Hall.
Xiao Sansi was outside trying to disperse the crowd, and Gu Jiao went over to ask him, “What happened?”
Xiao Sansi said anxiously, “Ah, Miss Gu, I’m glad you’re here! A man inside is claiming that we have killed his wife, along with their unborn child. First thing in the morning, it scared away all the patients in the dical Hall. Those who were coming to seek treatnt were frightened away as well!”
As he spoke, he used his hand to push away the crowd, “Make way! Make way! Don’t block here!”
Unfortunately, the crowd was too curious to give heed to Xiao Sansi.
Gu Jiao entered the dical Hall from the back door.
Several assistants had blocked the front door of the Grand Hall, preventing the crowd from rushing in. Today, the second master was not in, Shopkeeper Wang was dealing with the dical dispute.
Inside the Hall, a door plank was placed on which a corpse covered with a white cloth was lying. The corpse’s belly was visibly distended. This must be the patient referred to by Xiao Sansi, who was ‘one corpse, two lives’.
Next to the corpse, a distraught middle-aged woman was kneeling down, holding the woman’s hand and sobbing uncontrollably, “My flower…why did you have to leave so young…”
Apart from her, a few other people were also present, including one sturdy man with a ferocious look on his face and seemingly the husband of the deceased. A few others, friends or followers, stood beside him, displaying strong hostility.
“You will pay with your life! If your Miao Shou Tang doesn’t give a resolution today, I’m not leaving!” The man, the husband of the deceased, spoke.
“That’s right! You must pay for her life!”
“Miao Shou Tang must explain! Otherwise, we will smash this place today! Let’s see who will dare to co to Miao Shou Tang for treatnt!”
The people beside the man echoed loudly, making a very intimidating scene.
Shopkeeper Wang was an experienced man. Previously in the county town, he had dealt with quite a few dical disputes, and one even resulted in death.
He didn’t panic imdiately. He understood that once he lost his calm, the doctors and the apprentices in the dical Hall would all be thrown into chaos.
Collecting his thoughts, he said to the man and his company, “Brother, let’s talk properly…”
“Talk about what!” The man rudely interrupted Shopkeeper Wang’s words, “I warn you, my wife has been killed by your treatnt! This isn’t over!”
“You claid that she was killed by our Miao Shou Tang, do you have proof?”
Gu Jiao walked over casually.
She did not speak loudly, but for so reason, everyone present stopped for a mont and instinctively turned to look at her.
