The employees at Doctor Ye’s shop hurried over to intervene.
Zhao Lizheng also desperately held onto Yin Suo.
Yin Suo’s eyes were bloodshot, and with the strength of an ox, no one could hold him back. Zhao Lizheng suddenly landed a slap on Yin Suo’s face, "What madness is this!"
"Three days ago, Doctor Gu said this child wouldn’t survive past three days; it was you who didn’t believe it!"
"What can be done, it’s the child’s fate, fate!"
After speaking, Zhao Lizheng’s old tears flowed freely.
Yin Suo, who had been as strong as several bulls, suddenly lost all his strength and collapsed to the ground, crying bitterly.
Doctor Ye stood there, his face pale, shaking his head repeatedly, "I’m not as good as Doctor Gu, I’m far from Doctor Gu."
Inside and outside the shop were crowded with onlookers.
Zhao Lizheng cried for a while, then bowed to Doctor Ye, "I’m sorry, Doctor Ye, my son couldn’t handle the blow, and that’s why this happened. I apologize for the trouble caused to you."
Doctor Ye waved his hand, saying nothing.
Zhao Lizheng carried the child on the ground to the carriage outside, then pulled Yin Suo out of the house, sighed deeply, and drove the carriage away.
Yun Jiao waited for several days but didn’t see Zhao Lizheng returning to seek her; she understood in her heart that the child must have passed away and they had returned to their hotown.
She truly didn’t hate Zhao Lizheng.
Trading silver for Gu i’s life was her own suggestion.
It was a willing decision, so what was there to resent? She still rembered she owed Zhao Lizheng a favor.
She wondered if Zhao Lizheng would ever co looking for her again.
In the morning, Yun Jiao received an invitation inviting her to participate in Xiang City’s dical Association’s annual gathering.
Last year, Yun Jiao didn’t go; her father represented Renxin Hall. This year, she planned to attend in person.
The dical books she had transcribed had yet to be printed, and the eting would be a good opportunity to discuss this matter.
Yun Jiao was uncertain about when the eting would end, so early in the morning when she sent off Ruru, she instructed, "Co straight ho after school. Sister-in-law has a eting today and doesn’t know when it will finish."
After sending off Ruru, Yun Jiao returned to her room to change clothes and groom herself. She wore a simple blue outfit with small flowers embroidered on the hem, and only a green jade hairpin in her hair.
After getting ready, Yun Jiao planned to leave when Yang Ying ca over saying, "Take along."
Yun Jiao chuckled, "Why do you want to go?"
Yang Ying replied, "I’m just curious and want to see what’s going on."
"Now that I follow you every day to sit for consultations at Renxin Hall, I can’t sit still at ho; I always want to go outside."
Yun Jiao laughed, "Alright, then let’s go."
The two got on the carriage and headed to the eting location.
The eting this ti wasn’t held at Elder Qin’s garden but at a rented restaurant.
This restaurant was different from usual ones, as it was inside a garden.
When Yun Jiao arrived at the garden, Yang Ying showed the invitation, and the driver drove the carriage inside.
After getting off the carriage, a servant ca to guide them, and they didn’t walk far before arriving at a large hall.
The hall was unlike any ordinary one; Yun Jiao guessed Elder Qin chose this place for the eting because of the hall’s size.
As Yun Jiao stepped into the hall, everywhere she looked, everyone who saw her hurriedly clasped hands to greet her, showing extre respect.
Yun Jiao recalled her first eting when she was a rookie unknown to anyone, standing on the sidelines with no one to talk to; now things were different.
Yu Jiajie saw Yun Jiao and quickly ca over to greet her, "Doctor Gu, I was just thinking, if you didn’t co to today’s eting, I’d have to invite you personally."
Yun Jiao smiled, "Why, is there sothing different about today’s eting?"
