Gu Juexi's menacing expression immediately disappeared after Xixi spoke. Daughters were the best, but women were just disasters.
Gu Juexi scoffed at Ye Yuwei as he walked past her with Xixi in his arms. Ye Yuwei curled her lip and followed while holding her son's hand.
Gu Juexi asked for Master Yao Lao's address himself eventually, and Ye Yuwei mused that the way he asked was quite polite. More polite than the way he talked to her, at least.
Master Yao Lao stayed at the other end of the village, and a garden full of herbs was the first thing that came into their view when they reached his house.
Gu Juexi knocked the door after he and Ye Yuwei exchanged looks. It was a while before someone finally came to the door.
The wooden door cracked open, and behind the door was an old lady who shuffled out and squinted at them. "Did you come to get treated? It's too late now, please come again tomorrow."
"Auntie," Ye Yuwei called out quickly.
