After being reborn, her aloof ex-husband and her crazy deceased husband got into a fight.

The next morning, Gan Cai'er heard that Du Ke was ill.

“He was perfectly fine when I saw him yesterday, how did he suddenly get sick?” Gan Cai’er was very surprised.

"He probably caught a chill from the river breeze last night. I heard he's not seriously ill. It's just that there's a shortage of medical supplies on the ship, and Granny Huang was worried that his condition would worsen, so she made him stay in his room for the time being."

"I also don't want anyone else to disturb me, saying that too many people would make it inconvenient for me to recuperate."

While helping Gan Cai'er comb her hair, Xiao Hong chatted about gossip.

"Xiao Hong, go and pick out some medicine that's good for colds from the medicine we brought, and take it to Granny Huang," Gan Cai'er said.

She brought a lot of medicine with her when she boarded the ship this time, a whole variety of them.

Because she remembered that in her previous life, a child boarded the "Fuqing" ship midway through the journey and later caught a cold and got seasick, which caused him to have a high fever that lasted for several days.

The ship only had some seasickness medication, so his family was in a panic, knocking on every room door to ask if there was any fever-reducing medicine, and they were willing to buy it at a high price.

I heard that the child was on the verge of death several times, almost not making it. Finally, he met an old fisherman on the river who gave him a few ancestral pills, which brought the child's fever down.

However, the child had a high fever for too long, and his mind was already confused from the heat; they said he might become mentally impaired.

Through that incident, Gan Cai'er fully realized that when traveling, she should carry more medicine in case of emergencies.

So before this trip, she made a special trip to several large medical clinics and packed up a lot of medicine for treating colds, seasickness, internal injuries, and external injuries.

She also secretly hoped that if she encountered that child again, she could be of some help.

But she never expected that just one day later, the medicine she had prepared would come in handy.

"Give me the medicine. I'm going to his place anyway, so I'll take it with me," Lan Tingzhou suddenly said.

"Don't go to the Eighth Prince's place for the next few days, lest you catch his illness. If you get sick on the ship, it will be inconvenient to get medical treatment."

“But, two thousand taels of gold… I won’t feel at ease if I don’t go and see it.” Gan Cai’er hesitated.

Lan Tingzhou glanced at her, somewhat helplessly.

"Don't worry, your two thousand taels of gold won't go away. I'll keep an eye on it for you every day, so you can rest assured."

Lan Tingzhou took the medicine that Xiao Hong had found and left.

He finally convinced Gan Cai'er not to see Du Ke for the time being.

Du Ke is a colossal thunderbolt; once discovered, he will obliterate everyone around him.

Lan Tingzhou didn't want Gan Cai'er to get too close to him.

The "Fuqing" is a large passenger ship. In order to ensure its sailing speed, it does not stop at all ports, but only stops at major ports or large towns, and it docks about once every two or three days.

The "Fuqing" ship made its first stop in Fengtian Town. Although it is called a town, Fengtian Town is actually larger than Zhushan County.

This is thanks to its location at the intersection of the waterways and land routes of the Miluo River, where most passenger ships and carriages stop, making it an exceptionally prosperous place.

After three days on the ship, everyone was overjoyed to finally have the opportunity to disembark and head ashore.

The boat owner gave everyone most of the day and instructed them to be back on the boat before dawn. The "Fuqing" would set sail at 5:00 a.m. sharp, and would not wait for anyone who missed the time. Anyone who missed the time would be responsible for their own actions and would not be refunded.

"Are you going ashore too?" Lan Tingzhou asked as he saw Gan Cai'er tidying her clothes and belongings.

"Mm." Gan Cai'er nodded.

"I promised Granny Huang that I would go to the child-picking shop to choose two servants for the Eighth Young Master."

"Does Granny Huang agree?" Lan Tingzhou frowned.

"Of course I agree. Right now, it's too inconvenient for the Eighth Young Master to only have Granny Huang and Magpie with him."

Lan Tingzhou lowered his gaze and pondered for a moment before saying, "Why don't you give the money to Granny Huang and let her choose for herself? After all, she has more experience and has served the Eighth Young Master for many years, so she's better able to know who's suitable."

"If you choose for yourself, you might end up choosing something that doesn't suit the Eighth Prince's taste, and you'll have wasted your money."

Gan Cai'er felt that Lan Tingzhou's words made a lot of sense.

However, instead of giving the money to Granny Huang as he suggested, she asked Granny Huang to go to the child exchange with her.

When Lan Tingzhou saw that Gan Cai'er was not only going with Granny Huang, but also holding Du Ke's hand, his mind went blank. He looked at Granny Huang.

"Granny, the Eighth Young Master is not yet fully recovered. Is it inappropriate for him to disembark at this time?"

"Thank you for your concern, Young Master Lan. The Eighth Young Master's illness is no longer a serious problem." Granny Huang smiled kindly.

“This is the Eighth Young Master’s first time traveling so far, and he’s quite shy. It’ll be easier for this old servant to take care of him if he goes with me. Also, I’d like to take him to the town clinic to get some medicine to keep on hand.”

Lan Tingzhou put down the book in his hand and stood up.

“I’ll go with you. After three days on the boat, it would be good to get ashore and walk around.”

Although Gan Cai'er was surprised that Lan Tingzhou took the initiative to suggest going shopping, she was still very happy to be able to go with him.

In both lifetimes combined, the number of times she went shopping with Lan Tingzhou was very few.

"Mo Yun, go and inform Ting Zhi to take his men and follow them. The people at the dock are a mixed bunch, so be extra careful," Lan Tingzhou instructed.

"Yes, son."

"By the way, where's Xiao Xiao? I haven't seen her today. Should we invite her along?" Gan Cai'er said.

"Miss, Miss Zhu and Young Master Wei disembarked early this morning. They're probably quite far by now," Xiao Hong said quietly.

Gan Cai'er was speechless.

Girls are indeed extroverted; once they have someone they like, they completely forget about their best friend.

"Madam, let's go too. It's getting late, we should hurry back so we don't miss the ship's departure time."

So, Lan Tingzhou, Gan Cai'er, and their group also disembarked.
