Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

Those waiting outside immediately got up to greet them.

"Madam Jun..."

"How is Madam Jun...?"

"Miss Gu..."

"Sister Nanzhi..."

Jun Yanchen and Cang Ling also stood up, but their focus was not on the people inside, but on Gu Nanzhi.

"Mr. Xu, eldest son, second son, Qingning, don't worry, the surgery was a success. The lesion in Mrs. Xu's brain has been removed. She just needs to rest and recover."

Succeeded?

Successful.

The weight was finally lifted from their hearts. They had won their gamble; they hadn't made the wrong choice. Gu Nanzhi really was capable.

"Thank you"

"Thank you, Madam Jun, you've gone to so much trouble."

"Thank you"

"You're welcome, everyone. Madam Xu is still unconscious and has just undergone surgery, so she's not easy to move. I've already told you all this, so she'll need to stay at the clinic for a few more days before she can return home."

"Understood, understood, Madam Jun, thank you. You've gone to so much trouble. We'll be staying at the clinic for a few more days..."

"It's alright, the clinic isn't open yet, so it won't affect anything."

The Xu family thanked Gu Nanzhi profusely. Although the news of success put them at ease, their worries could not be completely put to rest until Gu Nanzhi woke up.

Because the clinic has not yet opened, Mrs. Xu has remained in the operating room to recover after her surgery last night and has not been moved.

No one left, and Cang Ling had arranged for lunch to be bought and eaten at the clinic.

However, after this surgery, besides Mrs. Xu suffering, Ren Shuqing was also the one who succumbed to the pain. She eventually needed time to adjust, which resulted in her not being able to eat much.

Bai Zang, who also participated in the entire surgery, was different. He was extremely shocked, but he did not show it on his face. However, the admiration he had for his master, Gu Nanzhi, was clearly much deeper in his eyes.

The Xu family did not leave that day; they all stayed at the clinic.

Gu Nanzhi and the others did not leave either.

After Madam Xu woke up, she was left with a warm and affectionate scene from the Xu family.

Seeing that the person had woken up, and although they looked weak, they didn't seem to have any serious illness, greatly surprised the Xu family.

The fact that it's actually possible to cut open a person's head without causing any harm is something they'll probably need to process slowly.

Meanwhile, Gu Nanzhi was also reviewing the surgical procedure with her two apprentices.

At this moment, Ren Shuqing was at her lowest point, feeling frustrated and annoyed.

"Master, I'm sorry, I didn't do well, I'm so stupid..."

Gu Nanzhi comforted her.

"Who said our Shuqing is stupid? Little Shuqing is the best. You've only just started learning medicine, and this is your first time experiencing it. You've already done a very, very good job. Don't underestimate yourself, okay?"

I believe that given time, Xiao Shuqing will definitely become a very skilled doctor...

“Master is right, Junior Sister, you shouldn’t underestimate yourself. You’ve done very well, and your senior brother believes in you.”

Ren Shuqing's eyes welled up with tears at this moment.

With such a master and senior brother, she thought to herself, "It's so good to have such a master and senior brother." She secretly vowed to herself that she must do even better to live up to the teachings of her master and senior brother.

"Master, senior brother, I will definitely do better next time. Master, senior brother, you are all so kind."

"Alright, alright, this was also a test for you both. You were both excellent. I'm very proud to have you two as my disciples."

"Thank you, Master."

The first day after surgery is very important, so Gu Nanzhi planned to stay and keep watch at night. Although they lived not far apart, every minute earlier in case of any emergency would reduce the danger.

Regarding who should stay, both the Xu family and Jun Yanchen had some disagreements. The Xu family members were worried and also wanted to keep him.

Jun Yanchen was forced to stay alone in an empty room.

However, on this matter, they could only listen to Gu Nanzhi.

"Alright, it's settled then. The clinic doesn't have many beds. I'll stay to ensure the patients are alright. The rest, Qingning can stay, and Young Master Xu can stay in case anything happens and he can run errands."

"Mr. Xu, Young Master, Madam Yang, you should all go back. If you're worried, you can come back early tomorrow morning. If possible, you could also bring us breakfast. Your cook is very good; I don't have one."

Gu Nanzhi's blunt words actually made Xu Huanshan and Xu Chengzhi feel less pressured.

"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Madam Jun. I'll bring breakfast over tomorrow."

Xu Huanshan agreed and then gave some instructions to his own child.

"Lin'er, Qing'er, take good care of your mother and Madam Jun tonight,"

"Father, don't worry, we will protect Mother,"

Yang Yixue also spoke up.

"Madam Jun, Qingning and the others told me that you like the pastries made by the cook at home. I'll have her make some for you tomorrow. She's just come up with a new flavor of pastry these past few days..."

Since it was delicious, Gu Nanzhi naturally wouldn't refuse.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Madam Yang. Thank you."

After the agreement was reached, the Xu family members left in a carriage.

Jun Yanchen remained rooted to the spot, so Gu Nanzhi took his hand.

"Huaiqing, you and Cangling should go back too. It's getting late, go back and get some rest. I'm tired too, I need to rest as well."

"Yes, Nan Nan, you've worked hard."

He verbally agreed, but stood still and even took Gu Nanzhi's hand in return.

"Since you know, then hurry back!"

Helpless, Gu Nanzhi took the opportunity to touch his abs, taking advantage of the situation.

"Is it because someone doesn't like me? Alright, go back now. If you're reluctant to leave, come back early tomorrow and have breakfast with Young Master Xu and the others."

Jun Yanchen both loved and hated Gu Nanzhi's adorable appearance. He always had the illusion that she would give up him if she had something delicious to eat.

They were eventually driven away. Gu Nanzhi and the two Xu siblings turned and entered the clinic. Before Gu Nanzhi could speak,

Xu Qingning and Xu Ruilin spoke first.

"Sister Nanzhi, you've worked hard today. You should go and rest. We'll look after my mother."

"Lady Gu, you should go and rest now. Thank you for today."

Gu Nanzhi left behind just in case; she was a doctor, but the responsibility of fulfilling filial duties still rested with the Xu siblings themselves.

"Alright, there's a rest room in the clinic. I'll go rest there. You two siblings can do as you see fit. There are beds in the treatment room next door where you can rest. Normally, Madam Xu should be fine tonight. You can stay and keep watch over her if you wish."

"Wake me up if anything happens."

"Okay, you should go and rest now,"

"Okay, Sister Nanzhi, you can go now,"

Gu Nanzhi was truly exhausted today. Without saying anything more, she went to rest in the clinic's lounge.

The Xu siblings stayed by Madam Xu's bedside.

The two siblings were filial. At first, they both stayed up to keep watch, but when it got late, Xu Ruilin told Xu Qingning to go and rest, while he continued to stay.

They kept watch all night, and nothing happened. Madam Xu woke up briefly in pain, but it was nothing serious.
