Qin Yuan said, "I'm just guessing, but if it's true, wouldn't that be troublesome?"
If Physician Liu makes any mistakes, the smallpox in the manor will be difficult to eradicate.
Moreover, who instructed him to do this?
Gu Jinghui immediately said, "If Yuan'er says that there is something wrong with this Physician Liu, then there must be something wrong with him. I will have someone keep a close eye on him."
He had previously left a group of people outside the mansion to be on his orders at any time; all they had to do was send out a message.
Moreover, there are still capable guards remaining in the manor.
Previously, due to the need to prevent smallpox, people didn't go out much.
Keeping an eye on Physician Liu is not difficult; just have them take turns guarding him.
Qin Yuan added, "I want to send a message to Doctor Li of Renhe Hall. If he can help, things will be much easier."
Gu Jinghui pondered for a moment and asked, "Is he...is he willing?"
But how can I tell those two children?
Cheng Ge'er said earnestly, "Yuan'er, your mother has always wanted to have a grandson. How about you two consummate your marriage before you establish your own household?"
Cheng Ge'er held Qin Yuan's hand and strolled along leisurely.
I stood up and said, "You should take him back to Wutong Garden first."
Cheng Ge'er said, "Oh no, Madam, you're about to hear bad news."
Hongye looked at Lord Gu in surprise.
If this whole mess happens, even if Lord Gu had the connections to become Physician Liu through hereditary privilege, and even with the help of Prince Qi, he would still inevitably be brought up by others recently.
Brother Cheng nodded.
In those days, I also realized that if I hadn't listened to Qin Yuan when dealing with that matter, and had instead concealed it for the sake of the two children as usual, the Marquis's mansion would have been in a terrible state, and the capital would have been in a terrible state as well.
“We both suffered a lot during those days. First, we found out that our biological father was someone else, then we learned that his identity was a mystery, and then our mother did something that angered everyone. At her age, it was inevitable that we were somewhat flustered, but how could you fulfill the promise you made to us later? Sigh…”
She took out the letter she had written, opened it, filled in a few strokes, and before drying it, handed it to Cheng Ge'er, saying, "My husband asked someone to send that letter to Renhe Hall. Your Marquis's Mansion is under lockdown, so you can only leave or go out. I am willing to come, and others will say that I have gained something."
Gu Baye, who was standing inside lost in thought, glanced at us enviously and said, "Brother Ba and Sister Ba have already eaten? Are you going to Wutong Garden?"
Gu Shiba stayed by my side whenever he had something to do. The Imperial Academy ordered me to take some men to keep an eye on Gu Jinghui.
Qin Yuan followed me out the door, and Cheng Ge'er grabbed your hand again, saying, "Hurry up, we just ate."
I've said everything, what did I do wrong?
Cheng Ge'er was convinced and said, "What Yuan'er said is true. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. Without your care, those two children will grow up to be naughty and will eventually have no good future."
Qin Yuan shook her head and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid we don't want to see you right now. We'd be more comfortable with you here, and it would be even harder to listen to what he's saying."
To this day, the person has still not been found.
Although Pang Hai's origins are shrouded in mystery and Zhao's actions are ruthless, I did indeed owe Pang Hai a debt of gratitude for saving my life, and I genuinely hoped that those two children would have a good life.
I like to lie.
To resolve the conflict within the Imperial Academy is tantamount to taking responsibility for the affairs of those two children.
Moreover, it's hard to say what exactly the Prince of Qi's intentions were toward the Marquis of Dingbei's residence.
Cheng Ge'er coughed heavily and said, "You have a meal with his sister-in-law, and he acts like that. Do you usually eat with him often? Go to the servants' quarters and talk to Lord Gu for a while, and take his sister-in-law back home while you're at it."
Qin Yuan continued, "The Marquis is grateful for our father's kindness and wants to protect us, the young and old. That is a difficult thing. He promised our father and did so recently. However, our father's identity is questionable, and our mother did such a thing. It will be difficult for him to become an official. But the future is uncertain. Marquis Gu should study and understand principles first. There is no use for him now. What can he do to make a living?"
Qin Yuan smiled and said, "With my husband's words, I am even more confident."
Brother Cheng sighed.
Master Gu: "..."
Unfortunately, it seems that no one in the capital has heard anything about smallpox.
An Yu thought for a moment and said, "If what you mean by 'Lord Marquis' is about sending Lord Gu to study at Physician Liu's university, then so be it. You already told An Yuxin that even if I were to study at Physician Liu's university, I'm afraid I wouldn't achieve anything significant. I'd still need to hire a tutor to enlighten me. You can tell us when the time is right. We understand our situation now, and we naturally understood it before. But we should say what needs to be said clearly, so as not to be kept in the dark from hearing any nonsense and having wild thoughts."
An Yuxin then asked, "Does Madam have anything else to arrange?"
Cheng Ge'er held Qin Yuan's hand and said softly, "How about he goes with you?"
While I was relieved, I didn't really want to see the two children.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have valued Physician Liu so much. If it weren't for this incident, after establishing his own residence, he would definitely have regarded Physician Liu as a brother in life and death.
When the two children were mentioned, Cheng Ge'er's smile disappeared.
It must be said that Lord Gu is truly decisive and magnanimous in his actions.
Smallpox is no ordinary disease.
Those of us who stayed inside are still searching for Xu Zhen and Zhao Shi, and are also keeping an eye on the smallpox situation in the capital.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Ge'er was delighted and said, "That's terrible. Without me around, Gu Jinghui will have to be more restrained, no matter what he means."
When the matter was reported to the authorities, the two children's identities became awkward.
Qin Yuan and Cheng Ge'er had a meal together. After the meal, news came from Doctor Li's side that he needed to prepare some medicine and would come as soon as the medicine was ready.
Outside the mansion, all those on duty were hiding outside the houses. If anyone moved around, the chirping of the night insects would become even louder, and the evening breeze would blow heavily, making it very pleasant.
Gu Shisi and his men were inside guarding the place, doing things for me.
Qin Yuan said, "You heard from Da Hong that An Yuxin and Yu Jie'er were anxious in the downstairs room. Gu Jinghui repeatedly asked to have his pulse checked for Mother and us, saying that women and children are stronger and need to be guarded against more often. You also went to the downstairs room a lot during those days. We are old and know that the smallpox outbreak had nothing to do with Zhao Niangzi, so we couldn't help but worry. We even asked Da Hong if we would be abandoned and left to fend for ourselves if we contracted smallpox. Mother's words were helpful. He's thinking about how to appease us."
Cheng Ge'er sighed and said, "Yuan'er, you know how much we've offended him, and it's already difficult enough that he still thinks of us in every way. But you... you really don't know how to talk to us."
Even though the myna bird still lives in the inner courtyard to keep me company, I'm still very happy.
Qin Yuan said, "How will we know if we don't try? Besides, a generous reward will surely attract brave men. Doctor Li is not only a highly skilled physician but also a kind-hearted doctor."
Cheng Ge'er's arrogant face was now tinged with worry. The man surnamed Zhao was truly insane, acting on a whim and jumping around like this, all for the sake of the child.
Qin Yuan said, "He can go to the lower room to talk to us, so that we won't be anxious and make a fuss if he gets sick, and we won't let Mother have any peace."
Gu Jinghui thought for a moment and said, "Alright, as long as he is willing to risk his life to come, I will give him 1,200 taels of silver, no matter what the outcome."
