Chapter 441: Smallpox Outbreak

Wen Yan said angrily, "Are you playing word games with me here?"

Wen Yan was furious and was about to tear up the male concubine contract.

"No." Ying Zhilin held her hand and shouted towards the house: "Seventh Brother, save me."

In the blink of an eye, Brother Chen Qi appeared outside the door: "What are you doing so late at night?"

Ying Zhilin stuffed the 'divorce agreement' and 'indenture' into his arms and said, "Give it to Meng Chifei and ask her to keep it safe."

Brother Chen Qi took a look in the light from the crack in the door, and his eyes suddenly widened, and an egg could fit in his mouth.

Being able to do this for Yanyan, he gave Ying Zhilin a thumbs up: "Brother, you are really awesome!"

He changed the subject and said, "If these two things are really handed over to Meng Chifei, you will have no way out. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"Sure! Definitely!" Ying Zhilin answered immediately.

"Okay, I'll forward it for you." Brother Chen Qi put the two pieces of paper in his arms, turned around and left.

"Don't..." Wen Yan wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as you accepting me as your male lover." Ying Zhilin held Wen Yan's hand and looked at her with blinking eyes. "It's getting late, Master. Let me serve you and let you rest."

Wen Yan got goosebumps all over her body. She pushed him away and crawled into the bed, wrapping herself in the quilt.

Ying Zhilin hugged him and the quilt together.

Wen Yan couldn't move.

The two sides were deadlocked for a long time, and Wen Yan finally surrendered: "Give me some time, you have to give me some time to think about it."

"Then think about it in my arms."

Wen Yan: “…”

Help!

**

Ever since Wen Yan said she would consider it, Ying Zhilin has become like a sticky piece of candy. Except for going to the toilet and taking a shower, he wants to stick to Wen Yan all the time.

Wen Yan was given a headache by him.

When Wen Yan scolded him, he smiled and didn't care.

When Wen Yan hit him, he even found a tool for her to use: "Be careful, it hurts your hands."

"You are so shameless." Wen Yan was so annoyed by him that she lost her temper.

Fortunately, the day to return to Beijing finally arrived. Wen Yan couldn't wait to pack her luggage, wishing she could grow a pair of wings and fly back to the capital immediately.

Ying Zhilin, however, was not happy at all.

The house in Huaihua Lane has not been renovated yet, and when I return to Beijing, I will have to live separately from Yanyan, and I won’t be able to be with Yanyan anytime and anywhere.

His lips were pouted so high that an oil bottle could be hung on them.

Wen Yan directed everyone to quickly load the luggage onto the carriage. She also got in and urged Pei'er, "Let's go, let's go quickly."

She didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

Ying Zhilin came out with the bundle and saw only the dust raised by the carriage.

"You were thrown away!" Brother Chen Qi laughed at him.

Brother Chen Qi walked over to him and nudged him with his elbow: "It's yours. I reminded you not to push too hard, she's very rebellious.

The more you cling to her, the more she will hate you."

"Given her evasive nature, if I hadn't actively stuck with her and waited for her to figure things out, I might have become an old man."

Brother Chen Qi patted his shoulder and said, "Be careful and don't make her angry."

"Don't worry, I've figured out the limits. I'm leaving now, or I won't be able to catch up with her."

Ying Zhilin chased after him on horseback.

Compared with returning to the village a few days ago, this time the trip to Beijing was much faster.

They arrived in the capital just after noon.

After entering the city, Wen Yan discovered something wrong.

Along the way.

She found that every pharmacy was extremely busy.

Medicinal herbs were carried out in large bags.

What's going on?

Wen Yan called Pei'er over and said, "Go and ask what's going on in the pharmacy."

"Okay. Don't worry, miss. I promise to find out all the gossip about this period."

"Go ahead, I'll prepare something delicious for you." Wen Yan pinched her round face and stuffed five taels of silver into her pocket. "Here, this is the money for your activities."

"Thank you, miss. I love you." Pei'er pinched her thumb and index finger together and made a heart shape.

Wen Yan laughed: "Where did you learn these nonsense?"

"A few days ago, I went to another village to play and met Huang Ying'er. I learned it from her."

"Don't do this to others. It's too bold and will damage your reputation."

"Don't worry, miss. I still have some sense of propriety." Pei'er jumped off the carriage, waved her hand and left.

"Let's go back to Qingfeng Building." Ying Zhilin took the initiative to sit in the driver's seat.

After a while, they arrived at the place.

Wen Yan jumped off the carriage and ran towards the store.

But she stopped at the door.

She turned around and pointed at Ying Zhilin, warning him, "Behave yourself these days and don't come to me again."

"Yes, Master..." Ying Zhilin said loudly.

Wen Yan was very anxious and rushed over to cover Ying Zhilin's mouth: "Shut up.

Master, it’s ok for you to bark at home behind closed doors, but how can you bark outside?

If people hear it, it will affect your career.

Can you be more careful with your words and actions?"

Really, you are so old, but you still have no sense of propriety.

Ying Zhilin kissed the palm of her hand.

Wen Yan was startled and pulled her hand back abruptly.

Ying Zhilin said with a smile: "You care about me!"

"What are you doing?" She wiped her hands on her body again and again. "You are so grown up, but you are still acting like a child."

"I'm just childish and I have a loose mouth. I really need a master to discipline me." He grabbed Wen Yan's hand and kissed her hard a few times. "Also, Master, please don't dislike me."

Wen Yan got goosebumps all over her body.

He pulled his hand back and ran away, returning to the store.

Ying Zhilin looked at her fleeing back and smiled knowingly.

He turned around and drove the carriage: "Go to Huaihua Alley, repair the house as soon as possible, and bring Yanyan out to live with us as soon as possible."

After Wen Yan finished packing and rested for a while, it was time for dinner.

She was eating.

"Miss, Miss, there is a big melon." Pei'er ran back in a hurry.

"Come sit down, let's talk while we eat." Wen Yan saw her excited face and knew that there were a lot of fun things to do.

"Let me tell you about the pharmacy." Pei'er took a big sip of soup to moisten her throat before continuing, "It's said that there's a smallpox outbreak in the north, and the capital is buying up a lot of medicinal materials just to send them over."

"But the capital is far away. By the time the herbs are delivered here, everyone over there will probably be dead."

Pei'er nodded and said, "That's right! I asked the same question at that time.

The people at the pharmacy said that the herbs have been transferred from the towns affected by the plague. These herbs are being sent to other towns in case of emergency.

"How is the epidemic situation over there? Is it serious?" Wen Yan asked.

"I heard that five towns have been sealed off, and people can only enter but not leave."

Wen Yan tightened her grip on the chopsticks.

Smallpox epidemic.

It seems that she and Meng Chifei's plot to use smallpox against the wolf tribe has also affected the people on the border of Dayong.

Pei'er also knew about her and Meng Chifei's plan.

She held Wen Yan's hand and comforted her, "Miss, this is not your fault. There are gains and losses in everything."
