The maid was very unhappy, thinking perhaps she hadn’t made herself clear enough. "Our mansion is the Rong Mansion, the family home of Consort Rong."

Yang Ying glanced at Yun Jiao, seeing her fingers placed on the patient’s pulse as she contemplated with closed eyes.

She waved a hand at the maid, "Don’t make a fuss. If your madam wants to get treated, she should come here. Doctor Gu has a rule of not making home visits."

The maid saw that even mentioning her own mansion’s name couldn’t intimidate them, and she grew more angry. "You really have the nerve, even daring to disregard the Noble Consort’s influence. Just you wait." With that, she turned and walked away.

Gu Yuheng watched from the side, his brows furrowing.

Yun Jiao finished examining the elderly woman and carefully wrote a prescription.

By evening, when Yun Jiao was done with work, Gu Yuheng came over and whispered, "I often hear people say that Consort Rong is currently favored. After that maid went back, she surely didn’t have anything good to say. If this reaches the Noble Consort’s ears, might it bring trouble for you?"

Yun Jiao smiled, looking around to see that the shop was almost empty, she chuckled, "Dad, don’t worry, here in Xiang City, I’m not afraid of anyone."

Not to mention the two strong pillars of the National Lord and Jiang Youzhi, even she herself was personally conferred the title of National Lady by the Emperor.

Regarding such a matter as a medical consultation, she can choose whom to see or not, she just doesn’t believe His Majesty would interfere in such mundane affairs.

When one has confidence, sometimes handling things without overthinking is perfectly fine.

Yang Ying, standing by, commented, "Anyway, I’ve heard that the Rong Family is especially protective and unreasonable. They will definitely not let this go."

At this moment, Jiang Youzhi happened to enter and heard Yang Ying’s words, "The Rong Family? What’s the matter with them?"

Yang Ying quickly explained the situation.

Jiang Youzhi sneered lightly, "Is that all? What’s there to fear, I’m just waiting to see what the Rong Family does."

Gu Yuheng invited Jiang Youzhi, "How about having dinner here today? Guihua just made a few good dishes." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

The house was empty anyway, the children weren’t home, the National Lord and Lin Shuo couldn’t possibly return.

So Yun Jiao and Jiang Youzhi stayed to dine with her dad.

Last year, Gu Chuan became a scholar but didn’t sit for the metropolitan exam. Instead, he went traveling.

Currently, it was only Gu Yuheng living in the shop.

After the meal, Jiang Youzhi held Yun Jiao’s hand, intending to go home.

Suddenly, Yun Jiao glanced back, under the candlelight, she noticed her father’s hair was quite grey.

She softly said, "Dad, you should remarry."

Gu Yuheng looked at her, "Why mention this out of the blue?"

Yun Jiao felt a pang of sorrow, just thinking that her dad was getting old, without anyone to talk to in the evening, how lonely it must be.

She smiled at Gu Yuheng, "Tomorrow, I’ll ask a matchmaker to help find someone good for you."

Gu Yuheng blushed slightly, "You cheeky girl, who’s ever seen a daughter handling such matters for her father?"

Seeing her father didn’t object, Yun Jiao smiled brightly, "It’s decided then. Dad, I’ll head home with Saburo now."

In the carriage, Yun Jiao quietly asked Jiang Youzhi, "What about the National Lord? Has he thought about remarrying?"

Jiang Youzhi shook his head, "He once told me he doesn’t want to remarry. Besides, he’s in the military camp all the time, having a wife would just be for show."

Yun Jiao didn’t continue the topic.

The next day, she went to Renxin Hall for consultations as usual.

After a while, a eunuch suddenly walked in from outside.

He was dressed in palace attire, easily recognizable.
