The Gao parents were very glad that Gao Lan Mei could learn medicine. This way, people would still respect her, especially if she became an excellent doctor. She was even advised by the Holy Doctor to learn on her own. That only meant that their daughter was capable!
Gao Qi was thinking of personally discussing with Physician Mo about Gao Lan Mei's intention and see if he would accept her as an apprentice.
Gao Lan Mei just heard about the Holy Doctor in her previous life and used it as a way to explain the quick recovery, without really thinking too much about it. She was not even aware that she was greatly related to the doctor that they were all looking for!
Nevertheless, since they also fully supported her decision, they assured that she could use the Gao treasury to buy all the things she needed to be an excellent doctor.
Now back to Gao Lan Mei's room, Gao Chu was looking at her young miss while writing a list of herbs.
Gao Chu was also happy to hear that the Young Miss would learn medicine. She did not even question where she learned of these herbs. "Young miss, let me personally buy these for you," Gao Chu offered. Gao Lan Mei's face was scarred and she might not be comfortable with going outside.
"No need. I will take care of it," Gao Lan Mei said. She needed to personally buy the things on the list. There might be a great difference in the names of the herbs from her previous life compared to the mortal domain. She also did not want to miss out on the chance to look around.
Gao Chu was worried. She knew that her young miss was always concerned about her appearance, so she prepared a blue-colored face veil for Gao Lan Mei and handed it to her before they left.
"Thank you." Gao Lan Mei gently smiled at Gao Chu. She had completely forgotten about the scars on her face.
She might not care about it but other people did, regardless of the intention being good or bad.
"Miss, this sparrow on the top of your head looks adorable." The little brown sparrow, Feng Ji, perched on the top of Gao Lan Mei's head. The other servants noticed it too, but if the young miss didn't mind it, why would they?
"It's a new pet," she replied nonchalantly.
"Oh! That's good if you like it Young Miss! We should really keep it! This sparrow is very small, it might be eaten by other bigger birds."
Feng Ji was offended. Who would be eaten by bigger birds!? You will be eaten! Your whole family will be eaten!
The master and servant pair went out of the Gao Manor. Some couldn't help but notice the young woman next to Gao Chu. Though they could only see her eyes, they were beautiful enough to stare at. The fine eyebrows paired with eyes that had a somewhat lazy expression would make one think that the whole face was beautiful as well.
"Young miss, we should have taken the carriage. You were always uncomfortable when people stared." Gao Chu pouted and complained to herself, The young miss was always too lazy to walk from the manor to the shops before.
Gao Lan Mei did not answer. It was not a big deal for her if she walked or took the carriage. She also did not care if people stared. Did they not realize that she was the Gao Lan Mei that chased the second prince?
They were near the medical pavilion when they saw a brothel being guarded by the royal soldiers. 'This brothel house is one of the second prince's properties, miss.' Feng Ji said through their connection.
'Burn the property that has the greatest number of guards later.' The more guards, the more the place is important to the second prince. Destroying something important will hurt more. Wise people would make their important properties appear inconspicuous so as not to attract evildoers. The second prince is not that smart though.
'Understood,' Feng Ji acknowledged.
