Chapter 173

Early the next morning, the Luo family members set out early and found a place to settle down.

Yiyang Town wasn't large, and it wasn't difficult to inquire about the way to the Drunken Fragrance Tavern in town.

However, given yesterday's situation, they knew that directly inquiring at the Drunken Fragrance Tavern wouldn't yield any useful information.

Even if they told the truth, people might not believe them.

It would be better to start with the shops near the Drunken Fragrance Tavern.

Being on the same street, the neighbors should know something more or less.

After careful consideration, they finally chose a tea house not far from the Drunken Fragrance Tavern.

As the saying goes, money talks. With enough silver, the previously tight-lipped shop assistant became all smiles.

"You're asking about Boss Gu? They used to come to our shop to buy tea, but we haven't seen them in town for quite a while now."

"To be honest, I don't know much about their general situation."

"But from what I know, Boss Gu is a local from our Yiyang City. I've seen them heading out of the city every day, so they probably don't live in the city."

"The place with the most Gu surnames outside our Yiyang Town is Gu Family Village to the east of the city. You could try inquiring there."

With that, the assistant weighed the silver in his hand and happily went back to work.

Upon hearing his words, the Luo family members were pleasantly surprised. They exchanged glances and prepared to head out of the city towards Gu Family Village.

Unexpectedly, just a few steps after leaving the tea shop, they encountered a familiar face.

"Doctor Ming!" Luo Juan was surprised to see him, not expecting to bump into him here.

The Luo family was a medical family in the jianghu, distanced from the imperial court and never dealing with influential families.

However, they did have a certain status in the jianghu.

Doctor Ming's surname wasn't actually Ming, but because this character was in his name, everyone called him that. His full name was Luo Ming.

Although not of Luo family blood, he was one of their disciples.

He was one of Luo Juan's grandfather's apprentices.

"Family Head?" Seeing the Luo family members, Doctor Ming was also surprised.

Doctor Ming didn't have a complete set of medicinal herbs, so he had come here today to buy some to take back. He didn't expect to run into Luo Juan and the others.

"Why are you here?"

Since ancient times, when such young children met with misfortune, they couldn't be given a formal funeral, burial, or tombstone.

So apart from their family, no one else knew the exact circumstances of what happened back then.

On the day of the burial, only their family went out.

Even the maids and servants below weren't allowed to follow, so outsiders didn't know the exact situation.

Hearing Luo Juan say this, Doctor Ming was shocked, both by the truth of what Luo Juan said and by the coincidence of the matter.

"So you're saying that Madam Gu is very likely to be the young miss?"

Luo Juan was the head of the Luo family, and although Doctor Ming was of a higher generation, he still had to use respectful titles when addressing the family head.

"Yes, it's very likely." Hearing Doctor Ming's words, Luo Juan nodded without hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Ming looked at him, then at Lady Qian and the others.

"Then you should come with me."

"At the request of the Princess Consort of Nanyang, the young friend I'm currently caring for here is none other than Madam Gu."

Hearing Doctor Ming say this, the Luo family members were also surprised. They hadn't expected everything to be such a coincidence.

They happened to come to this place, happened to meet Doctor Ming, who happened to know Nuo Nuo, and happened to be Nuo Nuo's doctor.

But this surprise didn't hinder their decisive action. They immediately prepared a carriage and supplies, and set off for Gu Family Village with Doctor Ming.

Seeing the nervous and anxious state of the Luo family, Doctor Ming thought for a moment and still decided to speak up.

"To be frank with you, Madam Gu is currently pregnant. It's a triplet pregnancy, and she's nearing the end of her term. She can't handle too much emotional stress."

Pregnant women should avoid extreme emotional fluctuations. Although he was also a member of the Luo family, as the doctor caring for Luo Ge, he felt it necessary to emphasize this point.

Triplet pregnancies are not ordinary, and require extra care. He was considering Luo Ge's health.

Upon hearing this, Lady Qian was stunned, as were Luo Juan and Luo Shiyan, the father and son.

Ling Yun, holding the child, also looked at them.

After a moment of silence, Luo Juan finally nodded while holding Lady Qian's hand.

"Alright, we understand. Everything should prioritize Nuo Nuo's health."

"Yes." Seeing that Luo Juan and the others understood, Doctor Ming didn't say much more.

Although he could understand how Luo Juan and the others were feeling at this moment.

But triplet pregnancies were rare and unusual, with a higher risk of complications. They had to consider things more carefully.
