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."
