Mrs. Li paused with the melon seeds in her hand, momentarily unable to react, "What?"
Another woman laughed behind her hand, "Doctor Gu has returned."
"Riding a carriage, dressed in silk clothes, looks like he's made a fortune."
"And your daughter—"
Before the woman could finish her sentence, Mrs. Li threw the melon seeds aside and dashed out.
Despite her large belly, she wasn't afraid of falling.
The other women exchanged glances and quickly followed her.
Mrs. Li ran all the way to the Gu Family's gate, and only then did she stop.
The gate of the Gu Family's courtyard was closed, and not a person was in sight.
Just as Mrs. Li was thinking that these women might have tricked her, she heard someone not far away say, "Doctor Gu is at his second brother's place."
Mrs. Li turned and ran towards Gu Yuheng's second brother's house.
Gu Yuheng's second brother's house wasn't far away, just a few houses down.
