The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 246: No Way Back
Gu Mei stood there with puffy eyes, like a piece of wood.
Wang Hao said somewhat bashfully, "Miss, please don’t be offended, I understand it’s impertinent to ask, but I’m afraid that if you leave, I’ll never see you again."
"It’s been two years since my wife passed away, leaving behind a two-year-old son."
"I know I don’t deserve you, but the moment I saw you, my heart was captivated by you."
"If you’re not, if you’re not married, I wonder if..."
Gu Mei listened to Wang Hao finish, then walked away without looking back.
As she walked, tears fell like a floodgate had opened.
Looking back now, the happiest and most content days in her two lifetimes were the two years spent with Wang Hao.
Though Suo Zhu was good to her as well, Suo Zhu wasn’t as considerate as Wang Hao.
Fate had shown her real favoritism by letting her meet such a good man like Wang Hao, yet she was the one who let him slip away.
But she couldn’t go back.
She couldn’t even imagine how Wang Hao would look at her if he knew about her being caught in the act.
Gu Mei’s tears flowed more fiercely, her steps quickening.
Wang Hao pursued Gu Mei for a distance, watching her turn into an alleyway.
He didn’t dare follow; perhaps she was going home. Having met by chance and not knowing each other, it took significant courage for him to say those words today.
He lingered at the alley entrance for a while, reluctantly glancing back several times before leaving.
He was in Xiang City to purchase herbs, staying at a nearby inn.
Gu Mei returned home, her aunt sitting at the kitchen door peeling vegetables, hurriedly asking as she saw her crying, "What’s wrong? Did someone bully you?"
Gu Mei shook her head, ran to her room, closed the door, and threw herself onto the bed, sobbing. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
The sound of her crying was buried in the pillow, muffled and soft.

On this day, Yun Jiao was again formulating medicine in the west wing.
Only Sister Guihua and Yingzi lived in the west wing.
The two empty rooms were connected by Yun Jiao, specifically used for storing medicinal materials, and she would also mix medicines there.
While mixing medicine, she always closed the door, slipped into the medicine storage to prepare, where the light was always on, and the powder grinder was always powered, making it convenient to mix the medicine powder.
This time, she mixed YN White Medicine.
Recently, perhaps due to Xuan Bang taking care of business, the medicine for treating bruises was selling exceptionally fast.
In modern times, the White Medicine formula is a national secret. Japan has schemed to get hold of many traditional Chinese medicine formulas and tried to obtain the White Medicine recipe, but fortunately, it was protected by the state.
Afterward, Japan wasn’t discouraged and researched White Medicine to crack its formula.
They eventually figured out it contained some ingredients like Sanqi, Musk, and Borneol, and published the formula they derived.
The national authorities just came forward and said one word, "Incorrect."
The reason Yun Jiao knew the formula was that the state had specifically given it to her grandfather for research.
When her grandfather told Yun Jiao the formula, he also said she could research it but must never disclose it to anyone.
In a different time and space, Yun Jiao also hoped these secret formulas could bring some benefit to the people.
After mixing the medicine powder, Yun Jiao finally came out of the space.
She opened the door, called Ah Tie inside, and pointed to the medicine powder, "Sift the powder, grind, and sift repeatedly."
Ah Tie obediently sifted and ground the medicine.
As she exited the west wing, Liu Zhu entered from the front, "Master, someone is looking for Scholar Jiang."
Yun Jiao quickly went out and saw Zheng Juren standing in the store, holding a folding fan and looking around.
