Gu Jiao hadn't seen Mrs. Yao for a few days. Even though Mrs. Yao came over last night, Gu Jiao was unfortunately out on an emergency, causing them to miss each other.
Gu Jiao calculated that Mrs. Yao should have finished the medication she prescribed her. After breakfast, she carried her small basket and made a trip to the Marquis Residence.
Startled and enraged by the plot Madame Ling sprung on her last night, Mrs. Yao only fell asleep very late. She couldn't even make her usual visit to the Old Lady Gu.
Madame Fang sent someone to mention that the Madam had caught a bit of cold and feared that spreading the illness to the Old Lady wouldn't be ideal. She would pay her respect in a couple of days.
In the past, Old Lady Gu would have taken this as Mrs. Yao's disregard towards her as a mother-in-law. Yet, Mrs. Yao's recent actions had successfully won over Old Lady Gu's trust.
Not only did Old Lady Gu believe her, but she also had the maid deliver top-grade ginseng to Mrs. Yao.
