Gu i stood there with puffy eyes, like a piece of wood.
Wang Hao said sowhat bashfully, "Miss, please don’t be offended, I understand it’s impertinent to ask, but I’m afraid that if you leave, I’ll never see you again."
"It’s been two years since my wife passed away, leaving behind a two-year-old son."
"I know I don’t deserve you, but the mont I saw you, my heart was captivated by you."
"If you’re not, if you’re not married, I wonder if..."
Gu i listened to Wang Hao finish, then walked away without looking back.
As she walked, tears fell like a floodgate had opened.
Looking back now, the happiest and most content days in her two lifetis were the two years spent with Wang Hao.
Though Suo Zhu was good to her as well, Suo Zhu wasn’t as considerate as Wang Hao.
Fate had shown her real favoritism by letting her et such a good man like Wang Hao, yet she was the one who let him slip away.
But she couldn’t go back.
She couldn’t even imagine how Wang Hao would look at her if he knew about her being caught in the act.
Gu i’s tears flowed more fiercely, her steps quickening.
Wang Hao pursued Gu i for a distance, watching her turn into an alleyway.
He didn’t dare follow; perhaps she was going ho. Having t by chance and not knowing each other, it took significant courage for him to say those words today.
He lingered at the alley entrance for a while, reluctantly glancing back several tis before leaving.
He was in Xiang City to purchase herbs, staying at a nearby inn.
Gu i returned ho, her aunt sitting at the kitchen door peeling vegetables, hurriedly asking as she saw her crying, "What’s wrong? Did soone bully you?"
Gu i shook her head, ran to her room, closed the door, and threw herself onto the bed, sobbing.
The sound of her crying was buried in the pillow, muffled and soft.

On this day, Yun Jiao was again formulating dicine in the west wing.
Only Sister Guihua and Yingzi lived in the west wing.
The two empty rooms were connected by Yun Jiao, specifically used for storing dicinal materials, and she would also mix dicines there.
While mixing dicine, she always closed the door, slipped into the dicine storage to prepare, where the light was always on, and the powder grinder was always powered, making it convenient to mix the dicine powder.
This ti, she mixed YN White dicine.
Recently, perhaps due to Xuan Bang taking care of business, the dicine for treating bruises was selling exceptionally fast.
In modern tis, the White dicine formula is a national secret. Japan has sched to get hold of many traditional Chinese dicine formulas and tried to obtain the White dicine recipe, but fortunately, it was protected by the state.
Afterward, Japan wasn’t discouraged and researched White dicine to crack its formula.
They eventually figured out it contained so ingredients like Sanqi, Musk, and Borneol, and published the formula they derived.
The national authorities just ca forward and said one word, "Incorrect."
The reason Yun Jiao knew the formula was that the state had specifically given it to her grandfather for research.
When her grandfather told Yun Jiao the formula, he also said she could research it but must never disclose it to anyone.
In a different ti and space, Yun Jiao also hoped these secret formulas could bring so benefit to the people.
After mixing the dicine powder, Yun Jiao finally ca out of the space.
She opened the door, called Ah Tie inside, and pointed to the dicine powder, "Sift the powder, grind, and sift repeatedly."
Ah Tie obediently sifted and ground the dicine.
As she exited the west wing, Liu Zhu entered from the front, "Master, soone is looking for Scholar Jiang."
Yun Jiao quickly went out and saw Zheng Juren standing in the store, holding a folding fan and looking around.
