The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 655: White Hair and Youthful Face

The Princess sneered, "Do you think once he’s married, he’ll give up his schemes?"

"He hasn’t held back from snatching others’ wives on the street."

Jiang Zhongxing lowered his voice, "Mother, you must have plenty of evidence of his crimes, right?"

The Princess nodded, "I do, but the Emperor still favors him now, and with what I have, I can’t bring him down."

"Unless—"

Jiang Zhongxing picked up the thread, "Unless it’s a treason charge of some kind."

The Princess nodded slowly, "I’ve heard there are many things in his household that exceed the norms, which could fall under treason, but others have informed the Emperor before, and he ignored them."

"Moreover, their father and son have many minions in the court; we need to plan carefully."

Summer was almost over, and Yun Jiao’s pharmacy was finished renovating.

That day, after a round at the workshop, she returned to the Gu family residence.

Upon entering, she saw an old man with white hair drawing water from the well, his back turned to her. She felt slightly puzzled; was he a new servant they bought? But why buy an old man?

As the water was drawn up, the old man turned to the side, and Yun Jiao was momentarily speechless, "Father!"

"What happened to you?"

Gu Yuheng laughed heartily, "Did I scare you?"

"I thought it over, the pharmacy is about to open, and since I’ll be working there, although it’s unlikely my old colleagues from court would come by for treatment, it’s best to be cautious."

"So I used some medicine to dye my hair. How do I look, completely different, right?"

Yun Jiao nodded slowly, "It is different; even I didn’t dare to recognize you at first glance."

Gu Yuheng laughed, "That’s good; now I don’t have to live in fear."

He stroked his newly whitened beard, "We doctors, like those Daoists, the whiter the hair and beard, the more people trust you."

Yun Jiao said, "Father, everything’s set over there already. You and Xiao Chuan can move over in the next couple of days."

"This house here will be used as a warehouse, and Uncle can keep watch over it."

Gu Yuheng nodded, "Okay, once we move, I’ll take care of hiring the staff and a cook. Once all is settled, we can open the pharmacy."

With her father present, Yun Jiao didn’t have to worry about many things. She’d already transferred many medicines to the pharmacy and once her father and Xiao Chuan moved, she could use this place as a warehouse to store medicines.

After dinner, Yun Jiao returned to the estate.

By then, it was dark, and through the carriage window, she saw Ah Yun leading Jiang Han towards the back courtyard.

Jiang Han was only accompanied by a servant.

He followed Ah Yun for a long while until they reached a secluded courtyard.

Compared to other courtyards in the Duke Mansion, this one was noticeably more rundown.

Even though it was night and visibility was poor, Jiang Han could sense the desolation. He’d grown up in the Duke Mansion, yet didn’t know such a place existed.

Ah Yun pushed open the courtyard gate, "Aunt Su is inside. Go on in."

Jiang Han entered the courtyard, finding overgrown weeds and a stone path in the middle.

There was light in the rooms ahead, and Jiang Han, feeling a bit jittery, walked towards it.

Suddenly, a shadow resembling a small animal darted across the path, startling Jiang Han nearly into a shout.

Stepping onto the stairs in front of the house, Jiang Han hesitantly called out, "Mother—"

A joyful voice came from inside, "Han Er!"

Then Aunt Su ran out of the room.
