Aunt Ke wiped her mouth and went straight to the point. âI came this time mainly because thereâs news from Dr. Song.â
Gu Yundong was shocked. Joy flashed across her face and she almost stood up in excitement. âReally? Where is he?â
âIn Qingâan Prefecture.â
Qingâan Prefecture? Gu Yundong was stunned. Wasnât thatâ¦
Aunt Ke: âPhysician He from Huimin Medical Center told me. He still remembers your motherâs condition. Physician Song went back to Xuanhe Prefecture, but he only stayed for an hour to get some herbs before leaving. He said that he was going to Qingâan Prefecture. Thereâs an important patient waiting for him there.â
Gu Yundong clenched her fists tightly and trembled slightly.
She looked at Madam Yang, who was still confused, and the hope in her heart grew.
âI received the news yesterday and came over early this morning. Doctor Song should have left yesterday. He probably has to stay in Qingâan Prefecture for a period of time. At the very least, he has to treat that important patient. What do you think now?â
Gu Yundong slowly exhaled and held Madam Yangâs hand with her fingers. The latter smiled and put her other hand on it.
Gu Yundongâs voice was slow and firm. âIâm going to Qingâan Prefecture, of course.â
Aunt Ke smiled and said, âI think so too. Oh right, Doctor He said that he doesnât know the address of Dr. Songâs patient. If you go to Qingâan Prefecture, you can go to Huimin Medical Center there. You should be able to find out Dr. Songâs whereabouts.â
Gu Yundong nodded. âOkay.â
âYou previously said that your father agreed to meet you in Qingâan Prefecture. Since youâre going over this time, are you going to ask about him?â
âYes.â Gu Yundong said, âActually, I was thinking of going to Qingâan Prefecture after the Lantern Festival. I didnât expect you to send Doctor Songâs message. Then I might as well set off early. Thereâs no problem.â
Now that she had money, the workshop was stable, and she had a shop, there were servants at home who could take care of Madam Yang and the two children.
Therefore, the matter of finding her father became urgent. After the Lantern Festival, she planned to make a trip to Qingâan Prefecture alone.
But since Dr. Song was there, she had to bring Madam Yang along.
Gu Yunshu listened from the side and quickly understood. He immediately jumped up and asked, âEldest Sister, can Motherâs illness be cured and Father be found?â
Gu Yunke jumped as well. âThatâs great, thatâs great.â
When Madam Yang heard the word âfatherâ, she suddenly looked up, and her eyes lit up.
Although Gu Yundong also hoped that everything would go her way, she still had to tell the truth. âIâm not sure yet. Of course, itâs best if we can cure Mother and find Father, but nothing is absolute. Iâm not sure yet.â
Gu Yunshu was a little disappointed, but he quickly pulled himself together. âBut thereâs still hope, right?â
âThatâs right.â
Shao Qingyuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, âWhen do you plan to set off?â
âThereâs no time to lose. Tomorrow it is.â
This time, even Aunt Ke was surprised. âSo fast?â
âYes, Iâll make some arrangements in the morning and leave in the afternoon.â
The atmosphere in the central room suddenly became tense. Even Gu Yunke seemed to realize something. She quietly pulled Gu Yundongâs hand and asked softly, âEldest Sister, are you leaving? Where are you going? What about me?â
Gu Yundong carried her over. âEldest Sister will be away for a while. Keke, can you wait for Eldest Sister at home?â
The little girl burst into tears and hugged her neck tightly.. âBig Sister, donât you want me anymore?â
