It just so happens that his apprentice is also participating in the competition, competing against Granny Hua's apprentice, Mist Girl. When Mist Girl wins the championship, she will tell the old man that she is Granny Hua's apprentice. I imagine his expression will be quite interesting, and it will also be a way to vent Granny Hua's anger.

Grandpa Qi's plan was very good, but he overlooked one thing.

Perfume can have adverse effects on the health of pregnant women and fetuses, and in severe cases, it can even cause miscarriage.

This is absolutely unacceptable!

If the boy surnamed Gu doesn't come back, this child can still help Wu Yatou live on strongly, so we must protect him!

He had already made all the arrangements. After her birthday, he would take her back to Hakuin Village, pretend to be sick to keep her there, and wait until the child in her womb was safely delivered.

This way, by cutting off contact with the outside world, they can keep it from her for a longer period of time.

Of course, he hoped to rescue the boy surnamed Gu.

It's just a habit to plan for the worst.

Shangguan Wu had no idea that the old man had thought so much in such a short time. She blinked and said firmly, "Of course I'll participate. If I withdraw now, wouldn't I just be getting scolded for nothing?"

Grandpa Qi frowned: "You know what I mean. Granny Hua is in the village, she won't know about this. You'll have another chance in the future, and Huaguo will have another chance too."

Shangguan Wu exclaimed, "Huh? Is the old lady's surname Hua?"

Immediately, Old Master Qi's lips twitched: "That's not the point."

"I won the championship, there should be media interviews, right? I'll record a video to make Grandma Hua happy. She taught me so many skills, you have to let me repay her in some way!"

In front of the elderly, Shangguan Wu spoke with confidence and arrogance, as if she had already won the championship trophy.

Seeing that she was stubborn, Old Master Qi said sternly, "You are pregnant now, the baby is the priority. Call tomorrow to withdraw from the competition."

"Grandpa, my child is my life too."

Shangguan Wu placed her hands on her stomach, her expression gentle yet firm. If she wasn't absolutely certain, she wouldn't have participated. So what if someone tried to provoke her?

She never lived for strangers!

"Even if you don't believe me, you should believe my master. My medical skills were all taught to me by my master. How could I ruin my master's reputation?"

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Old Master Qi stood up and said, "Alright, as long as you know what's going on, I'm going back to sleep."

He walked slowly out of the pharmacy with his hands behind his back.

Grandpa Qi looked up at the night sky. In a few years, the number of people in the village will decrease year by year.

Shangguan Wu sat on the sofa, pursing her lips slightly.

If only her husband were home.

Hmm, I wonder where he is now. Has Meng Wen found him?
