In order to find an antidote for her grandmother as soon as possible, she had to prepare the medicine while she was outside. This was to avoid being discovered by the nannies and servants if she was at home.

“I’m fine, and I’m not going to Renyao Hall. Take me to the largest pharmacy. I’m going to buy some medicine,” Gu Qingxue said.

Lan Wen did not continue to ask the reason after figuring out Gu Qingxue’s purpose. She immediately took Gu Qingxue to the pharmacy.

Even the pharmacies in Jing City were different. There were all kinds of rare medicinal herbs here, making one’s eyes dazzle.

Gu Qingxue carefully selected the medicines for nearly two hours.

By the time they came out of the pharmacy, it was already lunchtime.

Dumby reached out and touched his shriveled belly. He raised his head to look at Gu Qingxue and said with a wronged tone, “Mother, I’m hungry.”

“Me too,” Gu Lin said.

“Mother, I want to eat meat,” Lingbao said with a greedy mouth.

“Eldest Miss, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant is not far from here. The food there is one of the best in Jing City,” Lan Wen said.

Gu Qingxue nodded. “Okay, then you lead the way.”

Lan Wen led Gu Qingxue and the others to the Drunken Immortal Restaurant very quickly.

It was only lunchtime, but the Drunken Immortal Restaurant was already full of people. The aroma of the food wafted out continuously, making the three children drool.

“Waiter, find us a seat!” Lan Wen looked at the waiter and called out.

The waiter walked over quickly and said with a smile, “Ladies, I’m sorry. There are no more seats in the hall. There is only a private room on the second floor. If you are interested, you can go to the private room for only ten taels of silver.”

“Ten taels of silver?” Gu Lin was surprised.

Were all the things in Jing City so expensive? It cost ten taels of silver just to choose a room for a meal. How many things could he buy!

“Sure, lead the way.” Gu Qingxue immediately booked the private room.

The waiter was full of smiles when he heard that. He quickly invited Gu Qingxue and the others to enter the door, walked through the hall, and went straight to the stairs on the second floor.

Only then did Gu Qingxue realize that the people sitting in the hall were all ordinary people. The food they ate was not expensive, but it also looked, smelled, and tasted good.

“Miss, the private rooms in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant are all charged separately. Ordinary people can’t afford to go to private rooms. Private rooms are used by high-ranking officials and dignitaries,” Lan Wen explained considerately when she saw the puzzled look on Gu Qingxue’s face.

Gu Qingxue nodded to show that she understood and was led to the private room by the waiter.

After asking for the opinions of the three children, Gu Qingxue ordered five dishes and a soup. It was enough for the whole family to eat.

An hour later, the children were all full. They raised their hands and patted their small bellies, showing satisfied expressions.

“Lil’ Lin, there’s a garden behind this restaurant. You guys go there and play first. Wait for mother to finish her work. We’ll go home in about an hour,” Gu Qingxue said to Gu Lin.

Gu Lin nodded and left with his siblings.

Gu Qingxue had Lan Wen stand guard outside the door. After locking the door, Gu Qingxue put together the medicine she had bought today and all the medicinal herbs in the research institute and began to seriously study the antidote.

What Gu Qingxue did not know was that in the private room upstairs, Rong Zhan was also having dinner with his good friend.

Meng Qizhou sat opposite Rong Zhan, raised his eyebrows, and sighed, “You’re really lucky this time. It’s thanks to you that you found the Worry-Relieving Grass Otherwise, Han ‘er would have been sick.”

“Han’er’s mental illness has always been under your control. This time, he suddenly became seriously ill. Is there really nothing strange?” As Rong Zhan spoke, he reached out to touch Rong Han who was sitting beside him.
