There were eight maids, four old women, and one servant in the yard. Deng Xue also found the doctor in the small kitchen next door.
Everyone has been infected with smallpox. Several personal maids are in more serious condition and have already shown signs of fever. The four old women have been infected for a slightly shorter time. The servant's condition is the best, as he has just been infected.
Although the doctor had been ill the longest, he had drunk a lot of the medicine himself because he was testing it on Young Master An. Although it didn't cure him, it was better than nothing. So far, there was no sign of fever, but he was very tired. When Deng Xue found him, he had already fainted.
It’s hard to imagine that if I had come a little later, the people in the yard would have been in great danger.
Tian An asked Deng Xue and the only servant who could still move to carry the rest of the people to the next room. Then he sent the servants away, sealed their sleep acupoints with silver needles, and took out syringes from the space to give them all intravenous drips.
As for the servant, after he finished all his work, Tian An let him fall asleep.
After returning to the main house to take a look at Young Master An's condition, Tian An walked to the gate and shouted outside, "Is there anyone outside?"
Seeing that there was finally some movement in the yard, the Duke of Anguo and his wife quickly stood up and replied, "We are here, we are always here, what do you need, young lady?"
When Tian An heard the voice of the Duke's wife, he said, "Please ask Madam to send someone to prepare some food for us, the master and the servant, and the servants in the yard."
"Don't worry, young lady. We have prepared the food long ago. I will have someone bring it over right away." After saying this, Madam An quickly asked the maid beside her to go to the kitchen to get the food.
Tian An reminded them, "Just put the things at the door later."
Then he continued, "Madam, please prepare the writing brush and ink. I'll tell you about some medicinal herbs. Go buy them. They'll be needed in two days."
The maidservant beside her hurried to get ready without any instructions.
Tian An knew that they were worried about Young Master An's condition, so he briefly explained it to them without waiting for them to ask.
Hearing that the situation had stabilized, Duke An and his wife finally breathed a sigh of relief. Madam An quickly clasped her hands together and bowed three times toward the sky, "Buddha bless you, Buddha bless you, thank you so much for your blessing!"
Soon, the pen and ink were ready. "Mulberry leaves, chrysanthemum, almond, forsythia, mint, platycodon, licorice, reed root, cimicifuga, peony, roasted licorice..."
Tian An read out the name of a medicine, and Mrs. An wrote down the name of a medicine. Soon, a piece of paper was finished.
But, the people in their house can’t go out now, so how can they buy the medicine?
When Madam An was in a dilemma, she heard Tian An say, "I've asked my coachman to wait outside the Duke's Mansion. If Madam doesn't have anyone suitable to buy medicine, please ask him to go to Changming Lane to find Miss Qin. She will help."
Mrs. An thanked Tian An and quickly sent someone to do it.
Soon, the food prepared for them arrived. After the servant put the food box at the door and left, Deng Xue went out to get it. After taking the food, she didn't forget to disinfect the door with disinfectant.
Only the two of them and the servant were eating. After dinner, Tian An let the servant go to rest, saying that he was recovering from his illness. But the main reason was that he didn't want him to see the syringes.
As for Deng Xue, she saw it and realized she couldn't handle so many people by herself. She was also glad that Deng Xue came along, otherwise she didn't know how exhausted she would be!
As it was getting dark, Tian An discovered that the Duke of Anguo and his wife were still guarding outside the door, so he told them to leave only one person behind to guard the door in case of emergency, and the others could go back and rest and come back tomorrow.
After changing the IV drip for Young Master An, Tian An took out some ointment and applied it to the pimples on his face. "It would be such a shame if such a handsome face became pockmarked in the future. With my sister here, how could I let such a tragedy happen?"
She had already taught Deng Xue how to change the IV drip, and left the maids and servants to Deng Xue. She only needed to keep an eye on Young Master An's condition at all times.
After administering two bottles of fluid, Tian An took the young master's temperature again and found it had successfully dropped. He only needed two more days of fluids, supplemented with Chinese herbal medicine, to recover.
Another hour passed, and Young Master An's four bottles of medicine had all been used up. Tian An helped him remove the needle before checking on Deng Xue.
After a while, the medicine for one of the maids was finished. After Deng Xue saw Tian An remove the needle once, she learned to remove the needles for the remaining people.
The maids were in better condition, so they only needed to be checked on at night. The master and servant took turns guarding Young Master An's room, keeping an eye on him at all times.
Afraid that Deng Xue would have to go through with it alone, Tian An asked her to rest first and he would stay by her side for the first half of the night.
Tired from the day's work, Tian An felt sleepy after not staying on duty for long. He decided to go out and check on the maids and wake up.
After walking around and coming out into the courtyard, I realized that the moon was so round tonight. I couldn't help but think of the time when I watched the moon with Zhao Yiming. I wondered what he would do when he found out that I had come to the Anguo Mansion.
What will happen to Zhao Yiming?
It's easy to imagine that with Tian An, that cheap father who is a daughter slave, around, there's no way Zhao Yiming could be fine.
During the day, after Gu Jinyan and her group found Zhao Yiming and explained the situation, Zhao Yiming impulsively went to the Anguo Mansion to find Tian An.
He was then stopped by Tian Mingwu who happened to be passing by and didn't know the truth. But when he learned the whole story, he became the one who couldn't be stopped.
Then, Zhao Yiming couldn't go even if he tried to stop him. Xiao Chen and Gu Jinyan were worried about the two of them, so they kept watching them, and finally they all had to return to the general's mansion.
Since Tian An was not there, Gu Jinyan could not stay in the general's mansion for too long. She could only ask Xiao Chen to take care of them and she would go back to the mansion first.
Back at the General's Mansion, Zhao Yiming calmed down. He was arguably the person who knew Tian An best among the people present. Since she dared to go to the Duke's Mansion at this critical moment, she must be confident that she could cure smallpox.
Moreover, Tian An once told him that in her previous life, medicine was very advanced and many diseases that were once incurable had been conquered. I think smallpox was also...
Zhao Yiming, who had figured it out, began to comfort Tian Mingwu.
After listening to Zhao Yiming's analysis, Tian Mingwu felt that what he said made some sense.
Humph! Tian Mingwu's daughter is quite capable! She even cured Ah Bing's leg disease that had lasted for years. It seems that curing smallpox shouldn't be difficult for her!
But understanding was one thing, and he still felt unhappy. Since he felt unhappy, he had to sort it out. So he set his sights on Zhao Yiming, who displeased him even more.
The two men didn't even have dinner and fought until late at night. In the end, Tian Mingwu stopped because he was exhausted.
Fortunately, Madam Xiao had someone leave some food for them, otherwise Tian Mingwu would probably have ordered Zhao Yiming to cook for him late at night.
The two of them ate and spoke for a few minutes before Tian Mingwu fell asleep from exhaustion. Zhao Yiming could only bear the hardship and carry him back to his room. He never expected that his future father-in-law would still talk in his sleep, threatening to break his legs, even while he was asleep.
When I came back, I looked up at the full moon in the sky and missed Tian An even more, even though they had met in the morning.
