The shopkeeper said, “It’s just that I don’t know where he is now.”

Seeing Gu Yundong frown, he said, “He went to treat a patient. I heard that he’s an important patient. I can’t ask where he lives.”

Gu Yundong heaved a sigh of relief. It was fine as long as he was still in Qing’an Prefecture.

“When will he be back?”

“That’s hard to say.” The shopkeeper shook his head. “Doctor Song arrived the afternoon before yesterday. He just came to get some medicine and left. He didn’t even have the time to take a break or drink a cup of tea. He hasn’t come back since the afternoon before yesterday.”

Gu Yundong frowned. So long?

“But don’t worry, Dr. Song’s things are still in Huimin Medical Center. He will definitely come again.”

Gu Yundong pursed his lips. It seemed that she could only wait.

She looked up at the shopkeeper, pursed her lips, and took out a bag of white sugar from her bag. “Thank you for telling me this, Shopkeeper Cao. Please accept this as a thank-you gift.”

Shopkeeper Cao quickly refused. “I can’t accept this. I just read Doctor He’s letter and said a few words. You…”

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly stopped and his gaze landed on the white sugar in the bag.

He took it and widened his eyes to carefully identify it.

Was it really sugar?

Shopkeeper Cao could be considered experienced and knowledgeable. He knew what was the most popular thing in the capital recently. It was the white sugar made by this imperial court. It was said that the influential families in the capital had gone crazy fighting for it.

Nowadays, this thing did not only mean that you were rich, but it also represented your status. This was because this thing was rare. Those young masters and young ladies in the capital were all competitive. Today, at the banquet, those who were admiring the flowers and serving pastries had to say that the cake was made of rare white sugar. The sweeter it was, the more it meant that your family was powerful.

The owner of Huimin Medical Center had also bought some. However, there were many Huimin Medical Centers in Dajin. If each family got a little, they wouldn’t even have a chance to feel the sweetness.

Shopkeeper Cao had kept the white sugar very well, but he did not expect this girl to take out a bag with one hand. There should be at least two catties inside, right?

If this girl gave him money, he really wouldn’t accept it.

But sugar…

Shopkeeper Cao was in a dilemma…

Gu Yundong naturally saw the change in his expression, so she added, “Actually, I still want to ask Shopkeeper Cao for a favor. I’ll go to the inn next door to get a room later. If Doctor Song comes back, please ask the staff in the medical center to inform me immediately. What do you think?”

“Sure, of course.” Yes, now he could accept the white candy in peace.

However, in the next moment, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly said, “Are you planning to stay in the inn next door? Then you have to hurry. That inn’s business is very good. If you go late, there won’t be any good rooms.”

Gu Yundong hurriedly thanked him and left with Madam Yang.

She was quite lucky. When she booked the room, there was only one upper room left. Then, there was a large bunk.

Gu Yundong quickly handed over the money. Just as it was settled, someone asked about the room.

She heaved a sigh of relief and brought Madam Yang upstairs with the waiter.

As soon as she entered the room, she put down her bag and asked Madam Yang to wait for her here. She went to the medical center again and told Shopkeeper Cao her room number. At the same time, she brought the carriage to the stable of the inn.

Then, she walked back to the hall and asked the waiter for a meal to send to her room.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, she saw a familiar child..
