Forced to Switch Marriages, I Went from Slum to First-Rank Imperial Matron

In her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she he...

Chapter 365: The disease started

Uncle Dahu!

Why is he here?

She was sitting on the ground, hugging a man's legs, rolling on the ground and crying, just like a shrew on the streets.

"Manager Cui, you are kind-hearted, you must help me!

The snowstorm came so suddenly that my house collapsed overnight and I was left with nothing.

Now I'm homeless and have nowhere to go.

Wuuuuuu... My Da Hu is really so miserable!

Please help me and give me a chance to live."

Uncle Dahu cried with tears and snot.

Manager Cui was the shopkeeper who bought Pei'er from the brothel before.

Wen Yan suspected that he was involved in a major case in the capital two years later, so he arranged for Uncle Dahu to infiltrate the inside in advance and collect intelligence.

She thought Uncle Dahu would use some clever tricks to get in, but she didn't expect him to go in by throwing a tantrum.

But Uncle Dahu has lost a lot of weight and is wearing thin and ragged clothes. He really looks like a disaster refugee.

Uncle Dahu sacrificed too much for the mission.

Fortunately, Uncle Dahu's crying was so intoxicating that Manager Cui had a headache. Finally, he had no choice but to agree: "Okay, okay, I'll take you back, okay? Just stop crying, it's giving me a headache."

Manager Cui flicked his sleeves and left.

Uncle Dahu quickly got up and followed him sobbing.

As they passed by, he winked at Wen Yan playfully.

Wen Yan: “…”

Wen Yan returned to his residence and began to write the sales plan for "A Little Ink".

These were easy for her and she finished them in no time.

She slumped in the armchair in an ungraceful manner, her fingers tapping rhythmically on the armrests.

It's almost time for the imperial examination.

In the previous life, Wen Yan worked hard and used all means to get the title of Ji Shanchang.

Thanks to the guidance of Ji Shanzhang, Huo Yaoxing was able to take second place and also took second place in the palace examination.

Although he was crushed by Qi Yunzhou by one place both times, as the son of a powerful and wealthy family in Beijing, he was already an elite for achieving this ranking.

Other powerful families were all sighing, wondering if the Huo family's ancestral tomb had caught fire, which was why they cultivated such a promising descendant like Huo Yaoxing.

In addition, because of his reputation as the last disciple of Principal Ji, many powerful and influential families came to visit Huo Yaoxing.

Huo Yaoxing also used the name of Ji Shanzhang to make friends with the powerful and force his fellow disciples to work for him.

In the end, because his behavior was too extreme, Ji Shanchang was so angry that he died.

Huo Yaoxing climbed up step by step by step, stepping on the corpses of others.

Huo Yaoxing does have some talent for studying, but he still seems inferior to the true genius Qi Yunzhou.

In this life, Wen Yan will never let him succeed in the imperial examination.

He had already memorized the knowledge from his previous life, and it was impossible to erase it.

Then she would make sure that he would never have a chance to succeed in the scientific examinations in this life.

Wen Yan thought about it, then stood up and walked towards her incense room.

Wen Yan set up a special perfume-making room in 'Qingfeng Xiaolou'.

The incense used by Qingfeng Xiaolou, Yidianmo and Tianyi Cloth Shop now are all blended by Wen Yan.

She took out two incense recipes that she had been pondering for several months, put on an apron and mask, and prepared to start mixing.

Aunt Shuang came over and said, "Miss, the time to meet with Madam Sheng has been set. It's in three days."

"I understand." Wen Yan responded.

Aunt Shuang saw the incense recipe and asked curiously, "Aren't there two spices that you haven't found yet?"

"I've found a substitute. Although the effect is not as good, as long as I use it a few more times, the effect will be the same."

Aunt Shuang nodded in response.

Wen Yan asked again, "Aunt Shuang, have you found out anything about the Sheng family?"

Aunt Shuang looked outside and then whispered to Wen Yan, "The people I sent out found out that the eldest son of the Xiangfu, Madam Sheng's husband, recently fell seriously ill and was almost unable to be saved.

The people who knew each other kept their secrets secret, so I didn’t get to know more of the inside story.”

"This information is enough." Wen Yan had an idea in his mind and continued to mix the perfume.

Northern Military Camp.

Meng Chifei is training his subordinates.

Those big and strong men were scolded by her until they burst into tears and looked miserable.

Suddenly, she heard a whistle outside the tent.

Then, a sentry came running over to report, "Captain Meng, a man a hundred meters outside the camp said he has important news for you."

"Has anyone been brought in?"

"That man refused to come in. He said he had brought a letter that only Captain Meng could read in person."

Could it be that the great gift given to the wolf tribe worked?

Meng Chifei threw the crescent moon sword in his hand to his bodyguard: "Watch them continue practicing, I'll go out and take a look."

After saying that, she followed the sentry and quickly left the camp.

When they arrived at the camp gate, Wen Yan stopped the sentry from following them.

The sentry said worriedly, "The other party's identity is suspicious. It's too dangerous for you to go alone, Captain Meng. Let me go with you."

Wen Yan shook her head and ordered him in a very serious tone: "Just follow my instructions and don't act on your own, otherwise I will give you a good beating tomorrow."

Thinking of Wen Yan's devilish methods when training people, the sentry was so scared that he shuddered and dared not take another step inside.

Wen Yan strode towards the person who was waiting for her.

The messenger was a little apprehensive when he saw her come out in person: "Captain Meng, why are you here?"

Meng Chifei said, "I've had smallpox before, so it's most appropriate for me to come here in person."

The messenger then handed a letter to Wen Yan.

Wen Yan read through it quickly, and a look of joy instantly appeared on her face: "Great. The clothes that the Wolf Clan robbed are finally working! Some people in the Wolf Clan have already fallen ill."

This is Wen Yan and Meng Chifei’s plan.

Every winter, the wolf tribe would be short of food and supplies.

Every year, villages and small towns on the border are looted by them.

They committed all kinds of atrocities, such as burning, killing, looting, and so on. If there were girls involved, the situation would be extremely miserable.

Wen Yan and his team took advantage of this feature and mixed smallpox-infected clothes and jewelry into those supplies.

In such cold weather, people will be eager to wear the stolen things, which will cause them to contract diseases and greatly reduce their fighting effectiveness.

Meng Chifei waited for another opportunity to act.

The messenger was also happy: "Great, it finally worked, and all our efforts were worth it."

“When an epidemic breaks out, their witch doctors won’t be able to cure the disease. There will definitely be people who disguise themselves as Dayong people and come to nearby towns to seek medical treatment. Once they come into contact with our people, the epidemic will spread rapidly.

Our people are numerous and densely populated, and I'm afraid there will be corpses scattered across the land, with the dead starving everywhere."

"We have to be highly vigilant." Meng Chifei has recently learned a lot about epidemic prevention measures.

She immediately returned to the gate of the military camp and shouted to the sentry at the gate from twenty or thirty meters away, asking him to call General Meng and Madam Bai over, as she had something to tell them.

General Meng and his wife hurried over.

Mrs. Bai subconsciously walked towards Meng Chifei.

"Mom, don't move, come close to me!" Meng Chifei quickly stopped her.

"What's going on?"

Meng Chifei finished his story concisely.

Madam Bai stamped her feet anxiously, "On the way here, you said you were going to set a trap for the Wolf Clan, but you didn't tell me the trap would be this big!

You arrogant kid, you're going to piss me off to death!"
