Recently, she was still receiving fresh flowers every day, and the flowers Yun Jiao received were placed in the dicine storehouse as they wouldn’t wilt anyway.
After working for a long ti and mixing a large batch of flower dew, Yun Jiao finally ca out.
The candles in the house were still burning when Yun Jiao ca out and went outside, planning to go to the bathroom before going to bed.
As she passed under Mrs. Li’s window, she suddenly heard her voice, "I’m begging you, help please."
Yun Jiao stopped in her tracks.
She heard Granny Tian say, "No way, if I let you go tomorrow, Doctor Gu won’t let off."
Mrs. Li continued, "What are you afraid of? Take my golden bracelet and run away. Such a big golden bracelet is enough for you to spend for a long ti."
Granny Tian’s voice was a bit terrified, "Madam, please don’t harm ."
"I’m just a servant. If I take your golden bracelet and run away, I’ll be beaten to death if caught."
Mrs. Li anxiously said, "How stupid can you be? Run farther away, who can catch you!"
Granny Tian said, "I have no identity docunts, I can’t get a travel pass, where can I run?"
"Madam, stop overthinking, it’s so late, just go to sleep."
Mrs. Li started crying again, "Have so pity on , okay? I really can’t go back; I can’t live without Qinglang."
Granny Tian simply said, "Madam, please don’t make it difficult for ."
Hearing this, Yun Jiao sneered a few tis in her heart, but couldn’t help but sigh with relief that Granny Tian was a sensible person.
Otherwise, encountering a greedy one, hearing the word gold, they’d surely take the bait.
Yun Jiao suddenly walked heavier-footed past the window where Mrs. Li was.
Inside, Mrs. Li might have heard the sound, letting out a terrified low gasp, then there was no more noise.
The next day, Yun Jiao was in the front diagnosing patients, when suddenly a woman in a silk shirt ca in from the door.
She entered and looked around with a smile.
Ah Hu asked her, "Are you here to see a doctor? Do you have an appointnt?"
The woman smiled at him, "I’m not here to see a doctor, I’m here to propose a marriage."
Yun Jiao thought to herself that Lao Jiu really acted quickly; he’s already found a matchmaker.
She said to Ah Hu, "Take her inside, Guihua’s wife should be in the kitchen at this ti."
Ah Hu took the matchmaker to the backyard.
After a while, Ah Hu brought the matchmaker back out, looking embarrassed, and said to Yun Jiao, "It’s the matchmaker invited by Boss Xu next door."
Yun Jiao’s face darkened, but she said nothing, just waved at Ah Hu.
Ah Hu soon escorted the matchmaker out.
The matter of the matchmaker coming to propose marriage was, of course, not told to Mrs. Li.
In the evening, Jiang Youzhi returned with Du Ruo.
Yun Jiao asked curiously, "Why are you back again?"
Jiang Youzhi replied as if it were obvious, "Tomorrow you’re going back to Chunlin County, I have so matters to attend in the county myself, so it’s perfect to go along with you."
Early the next morning, just as the day was dawning and the city gates weren’t yet open, two horse-drawn carriages stopped in front of Renxin Hall.
Granny Tian pulled Mrs. Li out of the house, Mrs. Li cried and refused to go as if heading to the execution ground. Helplessly, with Granny Tian’s strength, under Yun Jiao’s instructions, she dragged her to the street.
Mrs. Li cried as she looked towards the silk shop next door, not yet open.
Granny Tian dragged and pulled, struggling to get her onto the carriage. Yun Jiao, tired of her crying, instructed Granny Tian to keep an eye on her and got into another carriage with Gu Chuan.
Du Ruo drove the carriage, Jiang Youzhi sat outside the carriage, and Lin Shuo rode alongside them on horseback.
Ah Hu stayed behind to watch the house.
The two carriages traveled for about a quarter of an hour, and just as they were about to reach the city gate, the gate opened.
