Aunt Ke wiped her mouth and went straight to the point. “I came this time mainly because there’s news from Dr. Song.”
Gu Yundong was shocked. Joy flashed across her face and she almost stood up in excitement. “Really? Where is he?”
“In Qing’an Prefecture.”
Qing’an Prefecture? Gu Yundong was stunned. Wasn’t that…
Aunt Ke: “Physician He from Huimin Medical Center told me. He still remembers your mother’s condition. Physician Song went back to Xuanhe Prefecture, but he only stayed for an hour to get some herbs before leaving. He said that he was going to Qing’an Prefecture. There’s an important patient waiting for him there.”
Gu Yundong clenched her fists tightly and trembled slightly.
She looked at Madam Yang, who was still confused, and the hope in her heart grew.
“I received the news yesterday and came over early this morning. Doctor Song should have left yesterday. He probably has to stay in Qing’an Prefecture for a period of time. At the very least, he has to treat that important patient. What do you think now?”
Gu Yundong slowly exhaled and held Madam Yang’s hand with her fingers. The latter smiled and put her other hand on it.
Gu Yundong’s voice was slow and firm. “I’m going to Qing’an Prefecture, of course.”
Aunt Ke smiled and said, “I think so too. Oh right, Doctor He said that he doesn’t know the address of Dr. Song’s patient. If you go to Qing’an Prefecture, you can go to Huimin Medical Center there. You should be able to find out Dr. Song’s whereabouts.”
Gu Yundong nodded. “Okay.”
“You previously said that your father agreed to meet you in Qing’an Prefecture. Since you’re going over this time, are you going to ask about him?”
“Yes.” Gu Yundong said, “Actually, I was thinking of going to Qing’an Prefecture after the Lantern Festival. I didn’t expect you to send Doctor Song’s message. Then I might as well set off early. There’s no problem.”
Now that she had money, the workshop was stable, and she had a shop, there were servants at home who could take care of Madam Yang and the two children.
Therefore, the matter of finding her father became urgent. After the Lantern Festival, she planned to make a trip to Qing’an Prefecture alone.
But since Dr. Song was there, she had to bring Madam Yang along.
Gu Yunshu listened from the side and quickly understood. He immediately jumped up and asked, “Eldest Sister, can Mother’s illness be cured and Father be found?”
Gu Yunke jumped as well. “That’s great, that’s great.”
When Madam Yang heard the word “father”, she suddenly looked up, and her eyes lit up.
Although Gu Yundong also hoped that everything would go her way, she still had to tell the truth. “I’m not sure yet. Of course, it’s best if we can cure Mother and find Father, but nothing is absolute. I’m not sure yet.”
Gu Yunshu was a little disappointed, but he quickly pulled himself together. “But there’s still hope, right?”
Shao Qingyuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, “When do you plan to set off?”
“There’s no time to lose. Tomorrow it is.”
This time, even Aunt Ke was surprised. “So fast?”
“Yes, I’ll make some arrangements in the morning and leave in the afternoon.”
The atmosphere in the central room suddenly became tense. Even Gu Yunke seemed to realize something. She quietly pulled Gu Yundong’s hand and asked softly, “Eldest Sister, are you leaving? Where are you going? What about me?”
Gu Yundong carried her over. “Eldest Sister will be away for a while. Keke, can you wait for Eldest Sister at home?”
The little girl burst into tears and hugged her neck tightly.. “Big Sister, don’t you want me anymore?”
