She didn't think that she had any friendship with the elder women of the Wang family, so she used her eldest sister-in-law and her medical skills as a favor. Instead, she respected the younger generation in every way. Such a grandmother, not to mention in this ancient world, is also a super good grandmother in modern society.
Old Madam Su carried Su Mibao back to her team.
The Su family members were in much better spirits than other exiles after being fed by Su Mibao along the way.
Most of the exiles sat or lay on the ground, not wanting to move at all.
Su San led the donkey aside and found some grass for it to nibble on.
Huashan and Lu Ma went to find water, while the children looked for dry firewood in the woods.
Housekeeper Su had built a simple stove with a few stones, and Nanny Su was putting an iron pot on it, pouring water from the water bag and a few handfuls of rice into it, and cooking rice porridge.
Gu Yueyan had already checked everyone's injuries and was checking Su Zhenbei's wound in the donkey cart.
Old Madam Su carried Su Mibao onto the donkey cart and told Gu Yueyan about the conditions of the three patients in the Wang family.
"From what grandma said, I can't treat epilepsy. Master Wang has trauma and high fever. I can treat the trauma, but the high fever can't be reduced even if we drink medicine. And we are still on the road of exile, so we can't make medicine. As for the little girl Wang Yanyu, she should have a gynecological disease. I have learned more about this, so I think I should be able to treat it."
Gu Yueyan was at Gu's house at the time, reading the Lu family medical books left by her mother. First, she was interested in medicine. Second, she wanted to take care of her weak younger brother. But she had long planned that one day after she left Gu's house, she would live with her younger brother. So she specifically picked up those gynecological diseases in the medical books to study.
She felt that if she, a woman, opened a clinic specializing in gynecology, she could reduce the competition with clinics run by male doctors.
[Don't worry, sister-in-law. I can treat epilepsy. I'll give you the medicine. You can crush it and give it to Wang Mengjing. As for Wang Taifu's high fever, I'll give you a few pills. You can crush them and let him take them to reduce the fever.]
As she spoke, Sumibao took out a bottle of epilepsy medicine and a bag of ibuprofen from her space. She took all the granules so that it would be easier for her sister-in-law to operate.
"Mom, I want to do some work too. I'm so stiff from lying in this car all the time."
Ye Ranqing sat in a corner of the donkey cart, watching the people outside the cart busy at work.
"No matter what, you have to lie down in the car. You have a miscarriage, and you know that you must rest to protect the fetus. We don't have the conditions here. If you were at home, you would have to stay in bed and lie down for a while."
Old Madam Su immediately killed Ye Ranqing's idea.
"I am a martial artist, and my body is stronger than most people. Besides, the baby in my belly is almost seven months old. I feel much better today."
"As the old saying goes, 70% to 80% is a sure thing. The baby in your belly needs to be at least seven months old to survive. You can't take it lightly. Giving birth to a woman is like going through hell. The slightest negligence can cost someone's life."
At this point, Madam Su's eyes turned red. "We have lost too many relatives in the Su family. Now all of you are my dearest ones, and not one of you can be left behind. You all have to wait until I am old and die, and then all of you should wear mourning clothes for me, and not one of you can be left behind. No one can die before me, an old woman."
"mother--"
Ye Ranqing's nose felt sore. She usually only shed blood but not tears. But now her nose felt sore and she couldn't control her tears.
"Grandma, don't worry. When we get to the northern border, I will definitely rescue my third uncle, find my eldest uncle and my eighth uncle, and rescue my uncle and the others."
Su Zhenbei quickly comforted his grandmother, "I will retrieve the remains of Grandpa and my fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh uncles and bury them in our Su family's ancestral tomb. I will not let any of the people who harmed them go."
"Aunt Qi, you have to listen to grandma. Stay in this car and don't worry about what happens outside. Mom and I are here to support you."
Gu Yueyan's nose was also sour. Since her mother died, she and her brother have been walking on thin ice every day in the Gu family. Where have they seen such a loving mother and filial son? For a moment, she felt uncomfortable and warm at the same time.
[And me! I will take good care of everyone in our family. On the road to exile, I will make sure everyone is well fed and well clothed. No one in our family will be left behind when we go to the place of exile.]
"Mom, the third room took our cart away, we have to go get it back."
Song Jinhe walked to the donkey cart, stuck his head in and said.
"Not yet, take a rest and eat, we have to leave soon."
Su Zhenbei did not agree to take the cart back at this time.
"Well, I also think it's better to wait until the evening to ask for it. None of the people in the third house are good people. If they quarrel, it will be troublesome. The official looked strange today. And the two hundred prisoners following closely behind us. I just went to the Wang family and took a look at the situation behind them. Those people in the East Palace are miserable. No matter whether they are masters or servants, they are only wearing inner clothes and prison uniforms outside, which are very thin. And they don't have any luggage. Alas-"
Madam Su sighed.
[Isn't it? The East Palace caught fire in the middle of the night, and when the fire was put out, these people were arrested. Of course they were wearing thin clothes.]
Su Mibao complained, thinking about what was written in the original book, that when the Eastern Palace case broke out, all the palace maids and eunuchs of no rank were sent away, and the prince's trusted palace maids and some concubines were all exiled.
This is the case with all people in the world. In the past, they praised the crown prince and respected the Eastern Palace. Now, they trample on the concubines and palace maids in the Eastern Palace who are in trouble.
It seems that the relatives of the concubines in the Eastern Palace are all shrewd officials in the court. They are naturally good at guessing the emperor's mind and will not go to see the concubines in the Eastern Palace off.
Therefore, on the way to exile, the escorting officers made things difficult for the prisoners from the Eastern Palace.
Natural disasters, refugees, bandits, every time a disaster occurred, the first thing the escorting officials thought of was to push the people of the Eastern Palace to bear the brunt of the disaster. Whether it was giving the beautiful concubines to the bandits, or letting these people explore the way. When they finally arrived at the place of exile, there were only a few people left in the Eastern Palace.
"And the two hundred prisoners from Zhaoyu Prison are following closely behind the exiled prisoners from the East Palace."
Old Madam Su looked unhappy. There were only a dozen escort officers between them, which could not provide any protection at all.
When she thought of the wolf-like looks those prisoners gave the concubines and palace maids in the Eastern Palace, Old Madam Su couldn't help but shudder.
[Grandma, you wouldn't want Big Brother to find a solution, or ask me to help those people in the East Palace, right? ]
Su Mibao frowned. She was not a savior, although she also knew that the people of Donggong were innocent and pitiful.
However, they are all in trouble.
What's more, when she came to this world, she only wanted to protect the Su family, and then find a place to become a local emperor and live a happy life.
