The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 796: Learning the Terrible News
Wanyan Zhang turned around and strode away.
Some things, no one had ever mentioned to him, and he had never thought in that direction.
But once someone mentioned them, the more he thought about it, the more it seemed to make sense.
He had never been particularly enthusiastic about women; the Princess was chosen for him by the Empress.
The three concubines in the mansion came in for various reasons, in short, none of them were women he wanted himself.
But, even so, he did favor them when he should, yet only the Second Mistress had ever been pregnant, but because of her own carelessness, she lost the child.
Wanyan Zhang was not stupid. Once Gu Yunjiao pointed it out, he quickly understood that his Princess wasn’t as virtuous as he thought; there must be plenty of underhanded tactics behind the scenes.
The women in the inner courtyard were not as harmonious as they appeared on the surface.
Returning to the main courtyard, Wanyan Zhang sat alone in the study for a while and instructed the servant, "Go and tell the steward to take ten thousand taels of silver from the storeroom and send it to the Second Mistress’s courtyard, tell her it’s compensation, and that she should take care of herself."
The servant took the order and left.
Wanyan Zhang unconsciously tapped his fingers on the table, thinking he had to find a way to get that bamboo tube out in a couple of days when Gu Yunjiao’s anger subsided a bit, otherwise, it was too dangerous to leave it with her.
Gu Yunjiao had originally planned to return home in a few days to see her father and Lady Wu, but early the next morning, Wanyan Zhang came to accompany her for breakfast and told her, "I’ve already had someone buy a pharmacy on East Expedition Street."
"I’ve kept the staff, so if your father is willing, he can go over there today."
"I’ve arranged a household registration for your father, and the shop is now in his name."
Gu Yunjiao felt a bit better, at least now her father and the others wouldn’t be trapped in that house like prisoners.
She nodded, "Hmm, then I’ll go over in a bit to accompany my father to check out that pharmacy."
Seeing Gu Yunjiao’s smile, Wanyan Zhang also sighed in relief, thinking that his plan was correct. With her family settled, she would be more willing to stay by his side.
After breakfast, Gu Yunjiao took a carriage to the house on Nantong Street.
The carriage entered the courtyard, and Gu Chuan ran out of the house.
As soon as Gu Yunjiao got off the carriage, Gu Chuan hugged her and began to cry, "Sister, why are you only coming now!"
Gu Yunjiao patted his head and smiled, "I only haven’t been here for a day, why, did you miss me that much?"
Crying, Gu Chuan said, "Father got hurt, Lady Wu and Sister Dayi are gone, and Sanyi, Sanyi got scared, she’s been lying in bed with a fever."
Gu Yunjiao swayed slightly, holding his shoulders, "What did you say, Sister didn’t understand."
Gu Chuan, still crying, pulled Gu Yunjiao into the house.
Inside, she saw her father lying on his side on the bed, who sighed when he saw her.
Gu Yunjiao saw her father’s head wrapped in bandages, "Dad, what happened to you?"
Gu Yuheng slowly recounted what happened the other day.
Hearing about Lady Wu and Sister Dayi’s demise, Gu Yunjiao felt the world spinning around her. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
She didn’t cry, wandered absentmindedly outside, while Gu Yuheng asked from behind her, "Where are you going? Sanyi is seriously ill, there’s no good doctor here; you should go take a look at her and prescribe something."
Gu Yunjiao felt a bit confused.
Yang Ying supported her outside, and now Sanyi was also residing in the side room of the front courtyard.
Once inside, seeing Sanyi lying on the bed, Gu Yunjiao felt her mind clear a bit, sitting by the bed and taking Sanyi’s wrist, she softly said, "Don’t be afraid, Sister Jiao Jiao will give you a prescription, once you take it, you’ll be better."
