Zhen Wanwan asked blankly, not understanding why the Han family wanted to invite her over.
It happened for no reason. She's not someone's dog; you can't just let it go.
So if the old woman didn't give a suitable reason, she was prepared to refuse.
The old woman hadn't expected Zhen Wanwan to be so disrespectful; she had made it a promise beforehand that she would definitely invite her over.
If they fail to invite the right person, they'll definitely get a scolding when they get back.
"Miss, what you're saying is untrue. Madam does miss you..."
Zhen Wanwan raised her hand to stop the old woman from continuing, and then asked Zhang Mama, "By the way! Mama, are we going to the county to see Madam Chen tomorrow?"
Madam Chen was naturally the wife of the county magistrate, and the old woman also knew that Zhen Wanwan had a connection with the county magistrate's family.
Granny Zhang caught Zhen Wanwan's gaze and glanced at the old woman lightly.
"Indeed! What a coincidence! Madam Chen just sent a message yesterday, and today the eldest young lady also sent someone..."
Upon seeing this, the old woman who had been listening from the side quickly waved her hand and said, "So Miss has an appointment. Actually, Madam doesn't have anything urgent to attend to. Perhaps I should go back and inform Madam, and then arrange another time with Miss."
After the old woman finished speaking, she announced that she was leaving, and Zhen Wanwan and the others could not stop her.
After everyone had gone far away, Granny Zhang frowned.
"My lady! This old woman's intentions are probably not so simple!"
Zhen Wanwan nodded in agreement, and after a few seconds of silence, she said, "Tomorrow when we go to the county, go and investigate the area near the Han family. I have a feeling that something is going on."
As night approached, Zhuyuan slowly returned.
Seeing his tired expression, Zhen Wanwan tenderly massaged his shoulders.
"My lord! Is the situation outside bad again these days?"
Zhen Wanwan rarely saw Zhu Yuan with such an expression; he always appeared relaxed in front of her and the children.
So she asked tentatively, not expecting Zhu Yuan to give a truthful answer.
However, this time Zhu Yuan only frowned slightly before pulling Zhen Wanwan into his arms and telling her about his troubles.
"Wan'er guessed right. Not long ago, a plague raged in Anqing Prefecture. Thanks to your help, otherwise the situation would be much worse."
"The Third Prince and the Fifth Prince's men have clashed again, which is fine. But for some reason, a large number of refugees are coming to our Anqing Prefecture, many of whom are sick."
This disease was naturally a plague, and the symptoms were similar to those of the villagers outside Anqing Prefecture.
Zhen Wanwan suddenly remembered Master Guiyi's words: if she saved these sick villagers, wouldn't her merits increase rapidly?
The thought that in the near future, his country would be invaded by foreigners due to internal strife is unsettling.
She couldn't calm down.
The most important thing in war is manpower, and manpower cannot exist without people.
What Zhen Wanwan wanted was people, and now these people were voluntarily coming to Anqing Prefecture, which would be beneficial to her.
With medicine on hand, what's there to fear about the plague?
After thinking it through, Zhen Wanwan nestled against Zhu Yuan's chest and rubbed against him; the feel of his chest was still so wonderful.
Getting back to business, she put away her mischievous hands and patted her chest to assure them.
"Husband, don't worry! If any sick villagers come over, please follow the previous isolation procedure and I will go over to treat them."
Zhu Yuan raised an eyebrow and asked with concern, "I'm sorry, Wan'er, I didn't want you to get involved in these things, but when it comes to medical skills, I only trust you!"
"If these villagers can be cured, it will be of great use to me."
As for its purpose, Zhuyuan did not say so.
Zhen Wanwan didn't think much of it, but deep down she felt a little excited.
She might go even further, who knows?
The couple each had their own calculations, but their goal was the same.
The next day, Zhen Wanwan took the child to the county. First, she visited Madam Chen to dispel any doubts that she had lied the day before.
Upon seeing this, the servants of the Han family, who were hiding in the shadows, ran back into the house as fast as they could.
Zhen Xiaozhi had finally finished treating the concubine and was enjoying herself on a recliner, with an old woman feeding her fruit beside her.
A servant hurried up to her and reported, "Madam! This old servant has seen Miss Zhen."
Zhen Xiaozhi stopped rocking in her recliner, straightened up, and asked calmly, "Did you personally see her enter the yamen?"
"Exactly!"
Zhen Xiaozhi's depressed mood improved considerably, and she gave instructions to the old woman behind her.
"Go and prepare some generous gifts. I'm going back to my parents' home to visit my brother and sister-in-law."
Because of the old lady Li's past practice of arbitrarily matchmaking, Zhen Xiaozhi didn't like her very much and would avoid calling her name if possible.
Today her tone was much more affectionate, and there was no sign of any rift between them.
When Zhen Wanwan went out and returned, it was already dark.
She chose to go straight back to the house, and Zhu Yuan came out from afar to greet them.
Zhen Wanwan lifted the car curtain and stretched out her hands for him to help her down.
"Madam, you must be tired from your journey. Have you had a meal yet?"
Just now at Madam Chen's residence, in order to maintain her image, she could only use a little bit like everyone else.
I'm starting to feel hungry.
So she honestly shook her head. Zhu Yuan took her hand, and the two went into the house together, leaving Zhang Mama alone to instruct someone to take the child back to the house.
She stayed behind alone to move the gifts that Mrs. Chen had given her that day.
Inside the room, Zhen Wanwan looked at the table full of dishes. The dishes were plentiful but not greasy, and they looked very appetizing.
Zhen Wanwan ate two large bowls of rice before she was completely stuffed.
To prevent her from having indigestion, Zhu Yuan carried her around the back garden twice.
The moon is exceptionally beautiful tonight.
A breeze blew by, bringing a slight chill. Zhu Yuan put on his cloak and pulled Zhen Wanwan into his arms.
The two rarely had the chance to admire the moon together, and before they knew it, they had been talking for a long time.
"My husband, is something on your mind?"
Zhu Yuan was as gentle as ever today, but Zhen Wanwan still sensitively sensed his emotions.
Zhu Yuan paused for a moment; he did indeed have something on his mind.
"Wan'er! If I were to hide something from you, what would you do?"
He was afraid that Zhen Wanwan would find out about the shady things he had done and then leave him.
"If so?" Zhen Wanwan thought to herself, this clearly meant that they were hiding something from her.
"A-Yuan! No matter what you've done, I will always be your wife and will support you unconditionally!"
"If you don't want to tell me, that's fine too. Everyone has their own secrets, and so do I."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuan hugged her even tighter, but he was careful not to hurt her.
His secrets were too complicated, and his deeds were too bloody; he was afraid he would frighten Zhen Wanwan.
But he was more afraid that she would find out about these things by accident, so he thought it better for him to explain things to her himself.
But Zhu Yuan dared not; he felt very inferior.
She was also afraid that he would shatter her current happy and wonderful life with his own hands.
"I...I almost starved to death, and I encountered some bad people. I spent several years with them and learned very bad things..."
