Gu Wanbai obediently stepped aside. She then stared at Gu Ruoyun as her eyes filled with anticipation.
She believes that as long as Gu Ruoyun was around, her mother’s illness would not be a problem…
“Your mother is afflicted with tuberculosis.” Gu Ruoyun concluded after examining Cui Rong. “This is not a serious problem. I will give you a medicine list later. Follow the medicine list and make a prescription for your mother. She should be better after a few days.”
To her, tuberculosis was not a serious issue at the present and does not require much treatment either…
“Master, will Mother really be cured?”
Gu Wanbai’s eyes lit up as she asked.
“Mm.” Gu Ruoyun nodded. “I need to head over to the First City first. Wait for your mother to get better before you come to look for me in the First City. I will get the Li family of Cloud Town to take care of you before I leave. Go to the Li family house before you buy the medicine. When the time comes and you don’t want to go to First City alone, you can come with your mother. I will ask the Li family of Cloud Town to escort you there.”
Gu Ruoyun believes that after the shock she had given Li Ying, no matter what she asked those people to do, they would not dare to refuse.
Even though the Li family was not particularly powerful, protecting Wanbai and her mother should not be a problem for them.
“Master, you’re so amazing.” Gu Wanbai smiled innocently and her eyes curved upwards like two crescents. It was an adorable sight. “Mother, do you know that I’ve got a nice sounding name now? Master had given it to me, it’s Gu Wanbai.”
She smiled at Cui Rong and said.
Cui Rong’s heart was filled with immense gratitude. “My Lady, Que’er… No, she is now Gu Wanbai! As your disciple, it is only right that Wanbai should have your surname. Unfortunately, I’m just a simple villager so I had given her a simple name. It is Wanbai’s fortune to meet such a noble person like you in this lifetime.”
“Wanbai.” Gu Ruoyun smiled and lowered her head to look at Gu Wanbai, “Take note of these medicinal ingredients and use them to concoct medicine for your mother. Your mother should get better after this.”
Gu Ruoyun had thought about bringing both mother and daughter along but she was in a great hurry and it would not have been convenient to do so. Besides, Cui Rong still needs treatment. Hence, she had no choice but to leave first.
She believes that the Li family members would send them safely to the First City…
“Alright.”
Gu Wanbai blinked and replied with a smile.
Gu Ruoyun then told Gu Wanbai which medicinal herbs was needed for the treatment. It was a good thing that Gu Wanbai’s memory surpasses that of the average person. Hence, Gu Ruoyun only needed to tell her once and she had easily remembered it all in her mind.
Once Gu Ruoyun had provided Gu Wanbai with this information, she left the thatched house with Xiao Xun’er by her side.
The arrival of the Li family of Cloud Town had attracted the attention of many of the villagers who then watched the scene unfold from outside the house. When they saw Gu Ruoyun and Xiao Xun’er emerge, they began to exclaim in admiration with the utmost sincerity.
Aunt Xiang, who had previously adviced Cui Rong, turned towards Gu Wanbai who had followed Gu Ruoyun out the door and exclaimed with envy, “Que’er, is this Lady your Master? Was she the one who had chased those Li family members away?”
When the little maiden heard Aunt Xiang’s address towards her, Wanbai placed her hands on her hips and said, “I have a name now. My name is Gu Wanbai! From now on, you can’t call me Que’er!”
Gu Ruoyun overheard Gu Wanbai’s youthful voice from far away. However, she did not turn back and held onto Xiao Xun’er hand as they left this place…
