Chapter 394 Why 2

Because these grains are Zhu Yingyan's personal belongings, she has the power to dispose of them at will.

If anyone is dissatisfied, they can ignore the reputation of Zhufu and run to the disaster victims to expose Zhu Yingyan's true face,

or learn from Zhu Yingyan's example and spend more money out of their own pockets to buy grains for porridge.

There are many ways, but it is definitely not enough to just stare at Zhu Yingyan.

In the complex mood of the people in Zhufu, Zhu Yingyan, who had no good intentions and did not do all the good things, walked on the road at night for a long time and finally met a ghost.

Uncle Qian and Ji Min lived in a manor outside the capital, which was quite far away. The information they heard was not very accurate and there was a certain delay.

Aunt Wang and her people were different. They were very sure that

among these new victims who were unwilling to accept the government's arrangement to be isolated, some had indeed contracted the terrible and deadly smallpox. Ten of them had been confirmed.

Ten, a full ten!

Since Zhu Yingyan intervened in this matter and was willing to provide food for porridge,

two more batches of victims had come to the capital, so the number was naturally not small.

All of them thought that good news spread far and wide. The court was willing to take care of the disaster victims who fled to the capital.

Not a single disaster victim died of hunger or was expelled after arriving in the capital. Instead, they lived a normal life and were no longer hungry.

After hearing this, even the disaster victims who did not rush to the capital could not help but change their destinations and rush back to the capital.

In this way, was the smallpox brought by the first batch of disaster victims who came after Zhu Yingyan took over,

or was it brought by the later batch of disaster victims?

In short, without the step of isolation, it would be impossible to make a judgment once the smallpox broke out.

It was because among the ten people who were diagnosed now, some came first and some came later.

How could they be distinguished if they were mixed together?

The victims were diagnosed with smallpox. Logically, this should have nothing to do with Zhu Yingyan.

The bad thing was that in order to gain a good reputation, reverse the situation, and no longer be suppressed by Zhu Xuntao,

Zhu Yingyan not only contributed money and food to the porridge relief, but also contributed her labor. She

went to the victims every day to report the news regardless of wind or rain. As for a pot

of porridge, Zhu Yingyan had to hold the spoon herself and share it with all the victims. Just for this pot of porridge, Zhu Yingyan, who had no strength in her hands, directly distributed the porridge until her wrists hurt.

Her efforts and persistence, as the name of the living bodhisattva spread, Zhu Yingyan felt that everything was worth it.

Until...

someone among the disaster victims actually got smallpox!

Upon hearing this news, Zhu Yingyan felt as if the world was about to fall.

She hid at home in a panic, not daring to go out again, let alone leave the capital, and continued to distribute porridge to the disaster victims.

Even in the middle of the night, Zhu Yingyan would be awakened by the nightmare that she was also infected with smallpox, and then she could not fall asleep again.

Zhu Yingyan wanted to keep this a secret, but she couldn't. Zhu Yingyan

claimed to be sick and hid in the Zhu Mansion for a day, and Aunt Wang and Aunt He found out. When

the two learned about this situation, they were angry and scared.

It was impossible for the eldest lady not to know what they all knew.

They all knew that they were not clean and were very likely to be infected with smallpox. The eldest lady also had people from the manor.

Even if they did not go to the manor, they should move to another place to live.

If she returned to the Zhu Mansion so openly, wouldn’t she kill all of them who were completely unaware of the situation?

Now it’s good. Originally, Zhu Yingyan was the only one in the Zhu Mansion who was worried.

From today on, the entire Zhu Mansion, from the master to the servants, had to worry with Zhu Yingyan, wondering

if they were so unlucky that they would also be infected with smallpox and would not survive this year.

It’s really...

a troublemaker!

Aunt He gnashed her teeth in hatred. She had already told Shiren that the existence of this batch of grain might not be a good thing.
