"Madam, the maid from the First Madam's courtyard is requesting an audience outside our courtyard."

Early in the morning, while Liu was still in bed, she heard a maidservant reporting outside the door.

"Oh? What is it?" Liu Shi slowly let the head maid help her put on her clothes, her arms reluctantly lifting, but her shrewd eyes were rolling around quite happily.

The maid was still standing outside the door. "I heard that the First Madam had a fever last night. That girl looked very anxious."

Liu clenched her fists to suppress her excitement and began to dress more slowly. She even had her maid find the nail guards that she usually found a waste of time, and put them on for her without any hesitation.

After carefully dressing herself from head to toe, Madam Liu was finally satisfied. She took the hand of her head maid and counted her steps as she walked to the side room.

"Bring her in."

A moment later, Min Yueqing's personal maid, Amei, hurried in.

Amei quickly bowed and said, "Madam, our lady suddenly developed a fever last night. Could you please call a doctor?"

Liu looked concerned. "What? Why didn't you report it sooner? What if it had burned? You young people, you never know how to be careful!"

Then he called out to the door, "Ban'er, go find a doctor right away."

Amei harbored resentment in her heart. She had come to the main courtyard last night, knocked on the door, and called out, but no one paid any attention. Now she was putting on this "virtuous" act, wondering who she was trying to impress.

When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. She could only pinch her nose and thank them before going back.

Ever since Pei Ji was awakened by Amei's noise last night and found the original owner of the body with a fever that made her face flushed, she dared not go back to sleep. She kept her eyes wide open and guarded the original owner's side, afraid that if she fell asleep, the original owner would disappear.

As A-Zhu applied a fresh, cool cloth to the original owner's forehead, she coaxed Pei Ji in a low voice for the nth time, "A-Mei has already gone to fetch a doctor, young master, why don't you get some sleep?"

Unfortunately, Pei Ji was very stubborn, and the older he got, the harder it was to coax him. Even with his eyes bloodshot from staying up all night, he refused to sleep for even a moment.

Half a day after Amei returned, the three of them saw the maid from the main courtyard bring a doctor into the house. The doctor was also a stranger.

The doctor approached and examined the original owner of the body, flipping her eyelids and taking her pulse. Suddenly, he was horrified and exclaimed, "It's probably developed into typhoid fever. You'd better prepare for the worst!" He then grabbed his medicine box and ran off like the wind.

At that time, typhoid fever was similar to the plague of later generations. Because it was highly contagious, people at the time were terrified of typhoid fever.

Upon hearing this, the maidservant waiting outside shouted loudly, "Typhoid fever! He's got typhoid fever!"

He ran towards the main courtyard while shouting.

This time, Liu acted swiftly. She didn't listen to Amei and Azhu's arguments at all and directly ordered all the servants of Hejing Courtyard to be removed from the courtyard, saying that they were to be isolated.

Liu originally intended to leave the original owner alone and let her fend for herself, but Pei Ji clung to the edge of the bed and refused to leave, ignoring all threats and intimidation.

Liu initially wanted to force the servant to carry the person out, but then she thought that leaving him here would kill two birds with one stone.

She was happy to just leave the person behind.

Liu led a group of people away from the courtyard like the wind. To prevent anyone from sneaking back, she went all the way and sealed off the gates of Hejing Courtyard.

As for the servants of Hejing Courtyard, Liu found an empty row of rooms and locked them all up for quarantine.

Amei and Azhu were isolated in a room with four walls and no windows. Liu also sent two servants to guard the door to watch over them.

"What should we do? What should we do, Miss? How will the young master live?" Ah Zhu finally broke down in tears.

Ah Mei looked at the closed, dark room, her face also turning pale.

They never imagined that Madam Liu would be so ruthless, finding such a quack doctor from who-knows-where, who was actually trying to kill their young lady.

With that recollection, Min Yueqing could guess what would happen next.

The original owner was a delicate and frail young lady. She had a high fever for so long and encountered a quack doctor who only knew how to talk nonsense and didn't even dare to prescribe medicine. She just died like that. It's really speechless.

Well then, since we're here, we might as well make the best of it.

Since she had taken over someone else's body, she naturally had to fulfill her wishes.

The original owner's greatest concern was her husband and son. As long as these two were well taken care of, her spirit in heaven could rest in peace.

Although the illness came on suddenly, she judged that it was a cold, not typhoid fever.

That unfamiliar quack doctor was spouting nonsense and calling a deer a horse; he's probably connected to the hospital administration. We'll have to settle this score sooner or later.

However, neither a cold nor typhoid fever was a big problem for her. This was because her two awakened superpowers in the apocalypse were medicine and martial arts, and both were at a very high level, making her highly sought after regardless of which team she joined.

The reason she was weak for the past three days was mainly because her soul and supernatural abilities were still slowly merging with this body. Until the merging was complete, she would remain in this weak state.

For example, just now, because she was worried about the baby who was walking over, she stood up for only a moment before feeling dizzy.

She sipped the water the cub fed her, and sighed inwardly: This is what life should be like.

Drinking water is extremely scarce in the post-apocalyptic world, and most of it is contaminated. Even if you manage to find a drinkable source after great difficulty, the taste is indescribable and nothing like the sweet water here.

Taking a sip of water and glancing at the adorable and cuddly cubs is much more interesting than fighting and killing.
