The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!-Chapter 390: Zheng Juren Visits

Gu Yunjiao listened and sighed, "Mr. Bai also had unfortunate encounters with people."

Mrs. Chen nodded, "Exactly, even if there are no children, he could accept a concubine. Why must he divorce his wife?"

"Which leaves her, a woman, all alone now with no support."

Gu Yunjiao didn’t argue with Mrs. Chen’s words, as that was the common mindset of women in this era.

The two sighed for a while, then went back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, a carriage stopped in front of the shop.

A maid wearing a green ruqun got off.

Following that, two older women accompanying the carriage took two bamboo baskets down from the carriage.

The two older women carried the bamboo baskets into the shop. The maid walked ahead and bowed to Gu Yunjiao, smiling, "Doctor Gu, I bring fresh fruit on behalf of the Princess Consort for you."

Gu Yunjiao noted that the maid said "send" instead of "gift" and smiled as she stood up, "Please thank my sister for me."

The two older women placed the bamboo baskets by the door and did not go further inside.

Gu Yunjiao casually gave the maid and older women some reward money, then instructed Ah Hu to carry the bamboo baskets into the backyard to give to Mrs. Chen.

In no time, Mrs. Chen came out, unable to hide her excitement, and whispered to Gu Yunjiao, "Just now, those two baskets were filled with lychees! They’re still fresh, the outer ice has not yet melted."

Once Gu Yunjiao had the chance, she went to the backyard and indeed saw the two bamboo baskets filled to the brim with lychees, although the color had changed a bit.

In the middle of the baskets was a compartment with some ice, which had mostly melted.

Xiang City isn’t a place where lychees are produced; they’re produced a thousand miles away and must take considerable effort to transport here.

Gu Yunjiao picked one up, and Mrs. Chen was just about to say something when she saw her peel it, revealing the translucent, tender flesh, and then took a bite.

After tasting one, Gu Yunjiao spat out the seed, nodded, "The taste is quite good, this variety has a small seed, and the flesh is thick."

Mrs. Chen thought Gu Yunjiao hadn’t seen this fruit before and wouldn’t know how to eat it. Who knew she seemed not unfamiliar at all and could even comment on it.

Gu Yunjiao glanced at the two baskets, "Take half from one basket and send it to Saburo at the academy."

"The rest, give a bit to Mr. Yun and Guihua, and also share some with Brother Lin and Ah Hu, we’ll eat the rest ourselves."

Mrs. Chen quickly nodded with a smile, she didn’t dare touch these precious goods until Gu Yunjiao gave the word.

When she served her mistress in the past, she had only seen it once and peeled one herself, but hadn’t tasted it, hearing the mistress say how delicious lychees were.

Now, thanks to Yunjiao, she could also try one.

Gu Yunjiao came out from the backyard, just about to sit at the table, when she suddenly saw someone outside.

Gu Yunjiao squinted her eyes, it was Zheng Juren!

Before Zheng Juren could enter, Ah Hu took a thick long door bolt to block him, "Go, go, go, our home does not welcome you."

Gu Yunjiao looked from afar and saw something seemed to have grown on Zheng Juren’s face. She walked over to look closer from behind Ah Hu and saw that Zheng Juren’s face and hands were covered with many red rashes.

Her pupils slightly narrowed, if she wasn’t mistaken, Zheng Juren had syphilis.

The rash over his body clearly showed it had developed into the second stage of syphilis.

Ah Hu knew as well, he was the one who personally sent the girl with the venereal disease over.

Seeing Zheng Juren’s appearance, he disdainfully blocked the door, not allowing him to enter.

Zheng Juren spotted Gu Yunjiao behind Ah Hu, as if seeing a lifeline, his eyes showed a hopeful glow, "Doctor Gu, I’m here to seek treatment, please help me take a look."
