“Eh, Yue’er, Xue’er is your sister. Your grandmother has been missing her for so many years, but she still doesn’t want to come back. It makes it hard for me to be a mother,” Madam Kou said thoughtfully.

Gu Lingyue was very smart. She immediately understood what Madam Kou meant and said, “Since grandmother misses her, why not we let Gu Qingxue come back?”
Gu Lingyue did not believe that Gu Qingxue had any ability. Even if she was not as easy to bully as she used to be, as long as she returned to Jing City, she would be at the mercy of the mother and daughter!
Madam Kou heard what she wanted to hear, she revealed a kind smile. “In the end, you understand mother’s heart. In that case, call someone to ask Xue’er to come back. After all, we are a family. When she returns to Jing City, I will fulfill my responsibility as the mistress of the house and take good care of the mother and children…”

After finishing the preparation for the three children, Gu Qingxue went to An Pharmacy on time every day.
The news that Gu Qingxue had saved someone had already spread throughout the town. Everyone knew that Shopkeeper Huang of An Pharmacy had invited a woman with excellent medical skills. Even the best doctor in the town was no match for her.
People liked to join in the fun. Anyone who felt unwell would go to Gu Qingxue for treatment. In the end, they found out that her medical skills were indeed excellent. Just two days later, at An Pharmacy, there was a queue of people waiting for treatment at the entrance, they had stolen the business of the town’s medical center.
In Renyao Hall…
As usual, the head steward, Gu Yi, came to Renyao Hall to check on the situation. However, he was shocked by the empty hall.
Unlike the bustling scene in the past, Renyao Hall only had a few customers. They grabbed the medicine and left quickly without any intention of seeing a doctor. The staff and the two doctors in charge of the clinic were all idle.
Gu Yi had never seen his own clinic in such a slump. He immediately shouted with a straight face, “Shopkeeper, what’s going on? Where are the customers?”
The shopkeeper heard Gu Yi’s voice, he hurriedly walked out from the back hall, “Fifth Master, the customers have all been s.n.a.t.c.hed away by that female doctor from An Pharmacy. I’ve just gone to inquire about it. There’s a long line at the entrance of An Pharmacy. The customers who should have come to our side have all gone there.”
“The female doctor from An Pharmacy?” Gu Yi asked with a surprised face.
“Yes, I heard that her surname is Gu,” said the shopkeeper.
Gu Yi pondered for a moment and said, “Let’s go and have a look.”
An hour later, Gu Yi quietly came to the entrance of An Pharmacy and indeed saw a long line outside An Pharmacy.
Thinking about his Renyao Hall again, Gu Yi’s heart instantly turned cold.
“Head steward, we can’t go on like this,” said the shopkeeper worriedly.
“It’s fine!” Gu Yi clenched his fists. “We still have our old customers. Don’t forget, even the county magistrate is treated in our Renyao Hall. With this group of important people supporting our business, we can definitely…”
Before Gu Yi could finish his sentence of ‘we can make it through’, he saw a familiar horse carriage stop at the entrance of An Pharmacy.
Fu Cheng got off the carriage and walked into An Pharmacy with a smile.
Gu Yi widened his eyes and fell into a dead silence. He did not come back to his senses until Fu Cheng’s figure disappeared.
The shopkeeper looked at this scene weakly and then saw Gu Yi complaining, “What female doctor?! I’d like to see who she is!”
