The Apothecary Diaries: Volume 2 - Natsu Hyuuga

More jinmao parallels in how they view themselves...

heehee get tormented man!

and we're getting our first hints as to who the women at the clinic are...

Maomao doubting Suirei for Xing's attempt at inducing an abortion in Lihua. girl that's her first villain; you don't forget your first villain!

yes yes thank you Miss Maomao ill be keeping this info...

smth smth because you feel very comfortable and safe around them... almost forgetting they're authority figures most of the time...

for reasons....

Heehee she was keeping it in her bra...

But no. It was Suiren. And I really don't think she'd meant anything malicious by it, but just like Gaoshun's earlier behavior (making her take Jinshi to the brothel as Jinka and discouraging her from asking for a bigger room from Jinshi) are their ways of keeping a close eye on her and keeping her in check. Because Jinshi is so attached, they can't get rid of her, but they can, and will, keep a very close eye on her

She tries but there really doesn't seem to be any love or affection towards her son in this state

Oh the Jinmao parallels of their first meeting their "dads"

I can't get over Maomao being offended of being mistaken for Shisui when she's the rear palace's very own celebrity weirdo who'd been sniffing laundry and stripping ladies-in-waiting a couple of days ago!

I love silly Mao doing her happy dance now that she lives in a storage house!

BABYYYYYY

Suffer girl!!
