Chapter 205: Chapter 204: Burning Down

After writing several pages, Gu Youyou finally finished reading them.

She closed her eyes, pondering over these things, and couldn’t speak for a long time.

The person behind this, it was that person again! Who on earth was he? How had the Gu Family and Gu Youyou angered such a person?

No wonder the Gu Family could afford such medicine for her; it turned out that someone had everything calculated perfectly.

Those medicines were secretly delivered to Doctor Zhou’s place, then the Gu Family would buy them back from him with a small amount of silver.

Gu Youyou didn’t blame Doctor Zhou; if it weren’t for him, it would have been someone else. He was just the unlucky one who happened to be chosen. Even Doctor Zhou was implicated by Gu Youyou inadvertently and was drawn into this mess.

After reading these words over and over again, memorizing them, Gu Youyou resolutely lit the letters written by Doctor Zhou in the candle stand, burning them to ashes. The rest, she put back into the box and re-locked it.

Qin Changlin had been standing opposite Gu Youyou the whole time. Seeing her burn the letters, his brow furrowed slightly, he opened his mouth to stop her, but in the end, he didn’t.

Gu Youyou noticed his actions and sighed softly, "These things cannot be kept. Pretend as if Doctor Zhou never left any of these behind."

Perhaps it was because Doctor Zhou had died, Qin Changlin was in a period of mourning. He had been unusually quiet these days, always wearing a face full of sorrow.

Gu Youyou stood up, handed the box back to Qin Changlin, and said, "These are a few medical books. You are his disciple; better you keep them."

Qin Changlin’s eyes flickered with hesitation and said, "But these were left for you by the master!"

Gu Youyou tugged at the corner of her mouth, speaking in a low voice, "Then let’s read them together. You keep them!"

Qin Changlin hesitated for a moment but eventually took the box, saying, "Alright then."

The two left the room together and headed to the front hall. Doctor Zhou’s spirit tablet was still enshrined there, with a fire basin below it. Yuancheng was kneeling beside the basin, burning paper.

Doctor Zhou’s sudden death had hit Yuancheng the hardest, his eyes were swollen like two walnuts. He had been raised by Doctor Zhou since he was a child, and he probably didn’t have much memory of his blood relatives; to him, Doctor Zhou was his closest kin.

Gu Youyou crouched down and consoled him gently, "Yuancheng, you need to be strong, so that Doctor Zhou can leave with peace of mind. You have cried enough these past few days. If you keep crying, he will be sad, and won’t be able to leave at ease."

Yuancheng looked up in surprise and asked, "Can master really see us?"

Gu Youyou nodded, "Of course. Doctor Zhou worries about you all. Only when he sees that you are no longer sad about his departure can he leave with peace of mind."

Yuancheng quickly stood up, looking around the room frantically, and called out loudly, "Master, Master, are you really there? If you are, could you let Yuancheng see you, please?"

"Ah, Yuancheng!" Gu Youyou hurriedly pulled him back, saying, "You mustn’t be so selfish. You have to let Doctor Zhou leave peacefully."

Yuancheng pulled away from Gu Youyou’s grasp, shaking his head and crying out, "No, I don’t want master to leave. I don’t want him to leave, he hasn’t seen Yuancheng grow up yet, he can’t leave!"

Such a headache.

Qin Changlin held Yuancheng tightly, "Yuancheng, calm down a bit!"

Perhaps it was too much excitement, Yuancheng’s whole body was trembling.

"I’m deeply saddened by master’s death, but... but..."

At that moment, he was at a loss for words, choking up and unable to continue.
