It just so happens that his chronic stomach ailment also needs Qiu Yan's treatment.
There are many doctors in Baiyang, but he can only trust Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan was also happy that Elder Mu could come along.
She began to have people prepare a carriage for her journey to Qingyun.
Lu Geng and Lu Gui, acting as coachmen, accompanied the group.
Outside the courtyard, Gu Xiaoran was strolling along the street, accompanied by Zhu Juan.
Suddenly, a tired-looking woman approached the two of them.
"Little girl, is there anything to eat?"
She was so hungry.
A beggar? Gu Xiaoran looked up, curiously examining the disheveled woman in front of her.
"Are you a refugee who fled from the border?"
As he asked the question, he placed a peanut candy in the woman's hand.
Then, his gaze fell on the long sword at the woman's waist.
This longsword looks so familiar; he feels like he's seen it somewhere before.
Zhu Juan remained silent, her entire being radiating vigilance.
In recent days, refugee riots have occurred frequently.
It's not surprising that Gu Xiaoran had this question. The woman was disheveled, and her clothes were filthy.
He took a step back, not wanting to be robbed again like before.
My mother said, you can know a person's face but not their heart.
"refugee?"
The woman pointed to her nose, her face turning ugly: "You're saying I'm a refugee? Are there refugees this beautiful?"
"Are you sure you're pretty?" Gu Xiaoran shook her head seriously.
"Compared to my mother, she's far inferior."
"Hmph, what a clueless person." The woman sneered, crushing the peanut candy in her hand and glancing disdainfully at Zhu Juan's face.
"It's not that great."
She considered herself to be stunningly beautiful.
Gu Xiaoran's face fell. His peanut candy was something his mother had just bought for him that morning.
He said unhappily:
"If you don't want to eat it, you can give it back to me. Why waste it!"
Zhu Juan's expression changed; this woman was no simpleton.
She quickly scooped Gu Xiaoran into her arms. "Let's go."
Zhu Juan didn't want anyone to come looking for someone and cause trouble again; she didn't want anything to happen to Gu Xiaoran.
"Wait!" After talking for so long, the woman forgot to ask about the important matter.
She blocked Gu Xiaoran's path and asked:
"Little girl, have you seen a girl who looks about fifteen years old, surnamed Qiu, and named... Qiu Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoran was astonished, "You're looking for my mother..."
"Never seen it before!"
He had barely finished speaking when Zhu Juan interrupted him.
Zhu Juan carried Gu Xiaoran and strode away.
Although she didn't know why, Zhu Juan was certain that Gu Xiaoran's identity was not simple.
She inexplicably felt that this woman was deliberately pretending to be down on her luck in order to gain her master's sympathy and then seduce the young master.
"Stop!" The child is already so big? I never would have guessed that he was keeping a mistress.
I really didn't expect that.
The woman strode forward and easily snatched Gu Xiaoran from Zhu Juan's hands.
She moved so fast that Zhu Juan couldn't stop her, and Gu Xiaoran couldn't react.
"You're Qiu Yan?" Finally found her.
Zhu Juan did not give a direct answer, only saying, "Let go of the child!"
...Inside the courtyard, Qiu Yan looked at Bai Lu, who stood quietly beside her.
"Aren't you going to see your prince?"
She couldn't quite understand Bai Lu's thoughts.
This woman was originally cold-hearted and indifferent, but the longer Qiu Yan spent time with her, the more she felt that she was not as cold-hearted as she appeared.
"I……"
"Mother..."
As the white dew began to fall, Gu Xiaoran's childish and urgent shouts from not far away interrupted their conversation.
"Xiao Ran!" Qiu Yan listened intently, then quickly left the courtyard and headed towards the source of the sound.
The kid's legs are still so fast; he disappears in the blink of an eye.
"I'm asking you a question, are you Qiu Yan or not?"
As soon as Qiu Yan got close, she heard the woman say this, and for a moment, she was completely baffled.
