The carriage rolled forward. It did not rest much along the way.
At night, Gu Yundong fell asleep in Shao Qingyuan’s arms.
Shao Qingyuan looked at her smiling face and couldn’t help but think of the scene in the day. He was sure that he hadn’t seen wrongly when the four jars of wine suddenly disappeared and appeared again.
He didn’t know what kind of trick she had used to fool the robbers and him, but she clearly had no intention of saying it, so he didn’t ask.
The carriage arrived at Qing’an Prefecture on the morning of the third day.
They did not encounter any robbers along the way, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Ah Wang was much better. He ate two more pills given by Shao Qingyuan. They were indeed effective.
Because of this, Escort Wang even bought a small bottle from him.
Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were separated at the city gate. She had no intention of entering the city.
Shao Qingyuan could only remind her to be careful on the road. Then, he frowned and accompanied her for a long distance before returning.
When he entered the city again, it was already noon.
Gu Yundong only left with Tong Shuitao. Shao Qingyuan wanted her to bring Ah Mao, but she did not agree.
She had always been unwilling to bring too many people around for help. It was enough to have Tong Shuitao by her side. Ah Mao and Ah Zhu were men, so it was inconvenient.
Tong Shuitao was not used to not traveling with the convoy.
She drove the carriage and let her lady rest in the carriage. She was a little nervous and excited.
Wanqing Prefecture was relatively close to Qing’an Prefecture. They rushed and arrived at the city gate in more than ten days.
When they arrived, it was already evening. The carriage barely entered the city before the city gate closed.
Even though it was already this hour, Wanqing Prefecture was still very lively. Compared to Yongning Prefecture, which had experienced famine, and Qing’an Prefecture, which had experienced chaos, this place was more than a little prosperous.
However, there were probably many refugees who had come to Wanqing Prefecture back then. Now, there were many people on the streets who looked down and out while trying to get a job.
“Miss, where are we staying tonight?” Tong Shuitao asked Gu Yundong, who was also sitting on the shaft of the carriage and sizing up the street scenery on both sides.
“Ask if there’s a Huimin Medical Center here.”
Tong Shuitao responded and got off the carriage. She found a shop assistant who was still working and asked.
Unexpectedly, the waiter shook his head. “I’ve been working in this prefectural city for three years, but I’ve never heard of Huimin Medical Center. Miss, can you ask someone else?”
Tong Shuitao found two more passersby, who also shook their heads.
She could only run back in disappointment. “Miss, they said that this clinic doesn’t exist in the prefectural city.”
Gu Yundong frowned. Be it the Xuanhe Prefecture, the Qing’an Prefecture, or even the Yongning Prefecture that had been rebuilt after the disaster, the Huimin Medical Center had established a branch there. Moreover, they were quite famous, but the Huimin Medical Center did not establish a branch here.
When she was in Qing’an Prefecture, she had a good relationship with Shopkeeper Cao of Huimin Medical Center. Especially with Song Dejiang in the middle, Shopkeeper Cao even gave her a letter when she left.
He said that Huimin Medical Center was branched all over Dajin. If she needed any help in the future, she could ask the medical center for help. With this letter, Huimin Medical Center could make things easier for her.
However, she did not expect Wanqing Prefecture to not have it.
“Then let’s go. Let’s find an inn to stay in first. Tomorrow, we’ll ask around about the Xin family.”
“Of course, my lady.”
The carriage finally stopped at the entrance of a hotel called Yuelai Inn. Gu Yundong had booked two rooms. She still wanted her privacy.
When the waiter brought them upstairs, she still did not give up and asked, “Is there a Huimin Medical Center in Wanqing Prefecture?”
