Chapter 584: Chapter 595: Concubine Du Seeks a Doctor

As soon as her words fell, a maid with a panicked face rushed in from outside the door.

As soon as the maid entered the room, she immediately knelt down and said, "Madam, it’s terrible, the young miss has climbed over the wall and left the house."

Thud...

"What?"

...

Gu Youyou had just entered Jisheng Hall, and Lin Qianqing followed right in.

She was startled and said, "How did you get out? Didn’t your mother ask you to stay at home and comprehend the Three Obediences and Four Virtues?"

The last time her aunt punished her by making her copy the women’s precepts, she used a writing style that was incomprehensible, and she finished copying them in three days. Later, it was said that she was punished to comprehend the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. It wasn’t hard for her to copy just a few sentences, but comprehending them to her mother’s satisfaction was difficult.

Because satisfaction was something her mother had the final say over.

Therefore, Gu Youyou did not tell her when she left but thought about how she still followed.

"That’s just my mother making things difficult on purpose, don’t mind her."

Gu Youyou nodded her head; she knew this, but the key issue was that it was done on purpose to make things difficult for you.

"So, how do you plan to explain? The underfloor heating in my room has been docked by your mother."

However, Lin Qianqing seemed unconcerned and said, "The weather is so warm now, if it’s not heated, then so be it, just bear with it."

Gu Youyou thought to herself: Why don’t you bear with it? I’m sick.

"Alright, I’d better send you back quickly. Don’t let your mother cut off the charcoal in my pharmacy too."

"I haven’t left my courtyard for half a month; please, don’t send me back. How much can that bit of charcoal cost? I’ll help you buy it."

"The key is that even what we buy can only be delivered with your mother’s approval."

"Then just say it was bought by Grandmother."

Gu Youyou: "..." It seemed that this Buddha was not going to be sent back.

"Fine, it just so happens I have a bunch of things no one is doing; you check those medicine prescriptions."

Lin Qianqing immediately beamed with joy, "Yes, I’ll do it now."

Gu Youyou shook her head helplessly; checking prescriptions was also a tedious and boring task. But because it was in a different place, she felt so happy.

Because it was freedom.

With a temperament like hers, she truly wasn’t suited for living in high-ranking families in Beijing. In the future, she would still be betrothed by the Emperor; it was hard to imagine how she would endure an even more restricted life.

Gu Youyou went to the backyard to look at her experimental subjects, with the exception of the Ice Snake, all were there.

The Ice Snake had been taken by Jin Zijin to be raised, saying that he would help her collect snake venom regularly.

Getting bitten by that thing was no joke; she needed to make two doses of Antidote Serum quickly.

"Doctor Gu, there is a patient who insists on seeing you. Do you have a moment? If not, I’ll send her away first."

Shopkeeper Hu’s voice came from outside, and Gu Youyou put down a mouse and got up to wash her hands.

"Have them wait a moment, I’ll be right there."

She hadn’t been in for a while, and upon arriving, she went to the backyard to look at the experimental mice. Many patients outside came for her reputation; she had to go and see.

What surprised her, though, was that the visitor was Du Concubine, the Mistress of Young Master Jie.

Seeing Du Concubine in such a state, it seemed she must have some indescribable difficulty.

With a white veil covering her head, she forwent the grace and luxury of her makeup from the other day. This outfit, however, was very elegantly simple.

Gu Youyou invited her into the consultation room inside the house, and only then did she remove the veil covering her face.

"Du Concubine, what has happened to you..."

Speaking softly, Du Concubine said, "I’ve come here admiring your reputation, having heard that Doctor Gu’s medical skills are exceptional."

"That’s just everyone’s kind exaggeration," said Gu Youyou.

Du Concubine hesitated for a moment, then said, "Why should Doctor Gu be so modest? The plaque from the Emperor can’t be fake."
