The news came so suddenly that Chu Luoci was stunned for a while before he realized what Zhou Ci had said.
Chu Luoci couldn't tell how he felt when he suddenly got the news about the banquet.
It was completely impossible for her to completely abandon Yanque from her life.
The name of Yanque is there, and his name will always appear in the people's mouths.
Occasionally passing by the teahouse, he is also one of the popular characters among storytellers.
At the beginning, Chu Luoci still had resentment and hatred in her heart. Gradually, after the child was born and grew up, she no longer felt anything when she heard that name.
She thought she could face it calmly, but when she heard Zhou Ci say that Yanque was going to Jiangnan for inspection, her mood inevitably fluctuated for a moment.
Zhou Ci looked at her worriedly, "You... what are you going to do?"
Chu Luoci smiled faintly: "What should I do? If I don't do anything, I'm already a dead person in his place."
Compared with Chu Luoci's calmness, Zhou Ci and Wu Huilan looked a lot worried.
"What do you think of the advice I'm giving you? Your hospital is right in the middle of a busy city. It's really too eye-catching. You should go to my other hospital first to take a break!"
Chu Luoci was still a little hesitant. She felt that Zhou Ci's worries were a bit exaggerated.
Not to mention that Yanque thought she was dead, but when Yanque visited Jiangnan, he had to deal with local officials. How could he have time to pay attention to a small medical clinic like hers?
That small medical clinic was opened by Chu Luoci himself after he came to Jiangnan.
She would occasionally sit in there for medical treatment, and would also buy and sell some medicinal materials. Because of her superb medical skills, she was quite famous in this generation.
She didn't want her peaceful life to get into trouble again because of the arrival of the banquet, but...
Glancing at the two children who were laughing and eating cakes not far away, Chu Luoci felt that this matter must not be careless.
So he agreed.
"Okay, I'll take the children to another hospital for a while. It's just a matter of the hospital..."
"You don't have to worry about the medical clinic. Your shopkeeper is a very capable person. I will communicate with him in advance. If anyone notices the medical clinic then, just say it is my family's property. My brother-in-law does too anyway.
It’s not surprising that someone who deals in medicinal materials has a medical clinic!”
Hearing what Zhou Ci said, Chu Luoci also relaxed.
She has always been grateful to Zhou Ci's family.
When she came to Jiangnan with Zhou Ci, her pregnancy started to show within a few months.
If a woman is not married and has no men around her, but her belly is so big, she will inevitably attract criticism from her neighbors.
In order not to cause trouble to Zhou Ci, Chu Luoci never told him.
But she never expected that one time when someone said something unpleasant again on the street, she happened to meet Zhou Ci's mother and her maid, who were out shopping together.
The old woman immediately supported her, saying that she was her goddaughter, and her husband who had killed a thousand people died early, leaving a lonely woman with a widow, leaving some virtue in those people's mouth!
The Zhou family is a well-known family in Jiangnan, and Mrs. Zhou is usually very philanthropic. When she said this, everyone around her believed her, and in the past few years, there was less talk around Chu Luoci.
Although she doesn't care about these criticisms, when a person is alone and helpless, it is always good to have someone willing to help.
Besides, Zhou Ci is an only son in the family, and she has two older sisters. Her second brother-in-law is in the medicine business. When he heard that she wanted to open a medical clinic, he immediately agreed.
They found a shop for her, delivered medicinal materials, and even sent a very capable pharmacy storekeeper.
Chu Luoci was grateful. She also told the truth to Zhou's family that she did not plan to be with any man in her life. She asked them to rest assured that she had absolutely no feelings for Zhou Ci beyond friendship.
The Zhou family all breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though Zhou Ci had lost his temper for a few days, he finally looked away. Chu Luoci really didn't care about him.
It's nice to be able to stay by their mother and son's side as friends.
After Wu Huilan arrived in Jiangnan, she and Chu Luoci depended on each other without any relatives or reasons.
The three of them got along more, and Zhou Ci gradually appreciated Wu Huilan's good qualities.
It's just that Wu Huilan never responded due to her poor background.
Chu Luoci shook his head and recovered his thoughts.
Perhaps it was because Leng Hehe heard Yanque's name that it brought back those past events and made her thoughts a little hazy.
The two children had finished their snacks long ago. Chu Luoci touched their hair and said, "Play here with Aunt Wu for a while, and mother will go back to the hospital to deal with some things."
The two children were used to staying here, so they nodded and agreed.
After leaving the door, Chu Luoci and Zhou Cibing separated into two groups.
Zhou Ci tidied up the other hospital and found reliable servants for Chu Luoci. Chu Luoci returned to the hospital and prepared to discuss it with the shopkeeper.
No one knows how long Yanque will stay in Jiangnan this time. She may have to stay in another hospital for a long time. Things at the hospital must be arranged in advance.
When they arrived at the hospital, the shopkeeper saw her coming and rushed to greet her, "Boss Chu, are you here?"
Chu Luoci nodded and said to the shopkeeper, "I have something to do and may be away for a while. During this time, shopkeeper He will have to worry about managing the medical clinic alone."
She made a very hasty decision this time. Shopkeeper He was a human being. She thought about it briefly and asked, "But what trouble did you encounter?"
She and Shopkeeper He had worked together for four years, and she knew that he had a measured heart and a strict mouth, so she didn't hide anything.
"People from the imperial court are going to Jiangnan for inspection. I stayed in Kyoto for a while and offended a person of high status. He is also in the team this time. I'd better hide for a while."
