Patients waiting to see a doctor at Jishi Hall saw Manbao and those who came often greeted her, "Has Doctor Zhou Junior returned to see patients?"
Manbao greeted them as she passed by, "No, it will be some more time."
Manbao had been incarcerated, a matter some people knew about, but many more did not.
Since the incident took place during the Empress Dowager's birthday celebrations, almost all the officials and their families in the capital had heard about it. Jishi Hall was, of course, aware, but the common folk still had no idea.
Manbao was no longer sitting at the clinic, and the reason given by Jishi Hall was that something had happened in her family, so she wouldn't be coming for now.
Regardless, the Zhou Family's restaurant was still open as usual. In Wulang's words, since they couldn't control the situation, why not take the opportunity to earn more money?
If it really came down to it, one could always bail someone out with money.
