Physician Liu carried the carrier pigeon into the house, and soon after opened the window and released it out.
The carrier pigeon cooed softly a few times before fluttering away from the yard.
No one knows any of this.
Qin Mansion.
Cui and the others had already received the news that the Marquis's residence was closing its doors to guests, and they were already somewhat uneasy. Unexpectedly, they then heard that the Marquis of Dingbei's residence had requested to close its doors.
Cui was somewhat flustered and asked Qin Jijiu, "Is this serious?"
Qin Jijiu stroked his beard, unable to say anything, only saying, "Good people are always blessed by heaven. I think the general is destined for good fortune, and Yuan'er is a lucky girl. She should be fine."
Madam Cui sighed, "How could he suddenly contract smallpox? And now he's asking to be deposed? Is he leaving his life to fate?"
Qin Jijiu also sighed.
"They had no choice but to request the closure of their residence. Smallpox originated from the Dingbei Marquis's residence. If more people in the capital were to contract the disease, the Dingbei Marquis's residence would be implicated."
Hearing his daughter-in-law praise her son's talent, the Marquis was quite pleased and said with a smile, "Your son is exceptionally talented and will surely pass the imperial examination with flying colors. Then he won't just be an official's wife."
The next day, Cui told Qin Wan, who had come to freeload a meal, about the matter.
When the Marquis of Bei heard that his mother had arrived, he knew that nothing was wrong, so he hurried out, sweating slightly as he walked.
“No, no,” Qin Wan said, praising Wei Xian. “He always thinks you are the most foolish one. He says every day that the Beihou family will surely pass the imperial examination and rise to prominence. Even if your mother-in-law doesn’t give you a hard time, you still care.”
Qin Wan shook her head, "Who knows whose idea it was? The Emperor hasn't issued an edict about that matter yet. His father found out that the Emperor also issued an edict to commend Qin Yuan Xiaoyi and sent an imperial physician to take care of her. I think we're all going to be in trouble."
There was no interaction between the Lin family and Wei Xian, and Gu Jinghui's message was not delivered to the Lin family.
"As Father God always said, contentment brings happiness, and fate is not constant."
"Yes, Qin Yuan hasn't asked Cui Shi for help yet. His father said we had no choice. If smallpox spreads throughout the capital, who can bear the responsibility?"
Lin Ziqi found the words more and more agreeable, but Wei Xian also cared for his son, and if Lin's mother was wronged, Qin Wan would keep it a secret.
Lin's mother rolled her eyes and said, "I know, you only talk about this behind your mother's back."
However, as you said, Wei Xian will also suffer the consequences of your actions.
Seeing your joyful expression, the Marquis asked, "Wan'er, did he receive some bad news when he came home today?"
The Marquis's smile faded, and he said, "It's been a long time since I've seen my son. Let this old woman go instead. How can a woman of his age like me show her face in public? When you go, Huai can talk to me and pass on his bad side."
Lin Ziqi still found it strange.
Wei Xianwan sighed, "Your mother was the worst to you."
If smallpox occurred without a natural disaster, it must be a man-made disaster.
Lin's mother frowned.
Just as I was about to take the food box, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my forehead, and a wave of dizziness and white light washed over my eyes, making me stop standing.
These days, Qin Wan's mind is entirely on Lin Ziqi, and she has no idea that smallpox has broken out in the capital.
Wei Xian's smile faded, and he shook his head, saying, "No, you just thought that your husband wrote a bad poem while visiting Yuyuantan Park, hoping it would be appreciated by a noble person."
Although you may have heard of the smallpox outbreak in the capital, you may have also heard of the epidemic in Yuhang.
Lin Ziqi frowned upon hearing this and said, "Your mother-in-law gave you a hard time?"
Lin's mother pondered for a long time, her expression gradually becoming tense. You took a piece of cold melon from under the table and ate it while saying, "Mother, that's not the destiny you told him about. He doesn't believe it. Feng Fu, you are a blessed person. Even if you married Qin Yuan, you could bear such a fate. He saw that you had only been married for a short time, and Wei Xian had such a small accident. Smallpox is so terrible. It's hard to say whether he can come out alive."
Qin Wan said, "Are you thinking that since your son is still unmarried, he's always visiting his parents' home, which inevitably makes his mother-in-law unhappy?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Xian was both shocked and horrified, saying, "My God, how could he be so careless with his words? Feng Fu is his sister, even though you came from the same mother, she is still registered under your name. If he said such things and it gets out, won't the men of your Qin family have a bad reputation?"
During those few days, Lin's mother saw Wei Xianwan and found everything she did interesting.
Wei Xian closed his eyes briefly and said, "Let him go live with the Beihou family. Stop spouting nonsense all day long, making up all sorts of things. People will think he's not mentally ill. You'll never hear those words from his mouth again."
Both of them hesitated, but believed that the Northern Marquis's Mansion would surely rise to prominence in the future. When they got down to business, Wei Xian ordered someone to buy some dishes. He said that if they were damaged, one portion should be left outside the house and the other portion should be delivered to the Imperial Academy by the person in charge.
"smallpox?"
Wei Xian wanted to agree. Those days, when you heard Lin's mother talk about Wei Xian's behavior, you really felt disgusted.
The Marquis's family arrived at the Imperial Academy with the food box and asked someone to summon the Marquis's family from the north.
Although Qin Jijiu did not understand medicine, he had read many historical books and knew that human nature was unpredictable and the officialdom was treacherous.
Before returning home, Lin's mother was increasingly happy thinking about that matter. However, afterward, because Wei Xian and Lord Gu were in love and living a comfortable life, all her joy vanished.
Many people died.
“From now on, we should behave ourselves and not bring trouble to the Marquis of Dingbei’s mansion. Our son-in-law has returned from his great victory in the north, and I don’t know how many eyes are watching him.”
Having said that, Lin's mother had no choice but to hand the food box to Wei Xian.
Why did I send you home so early today?
Hou Fu pouted and said, "You're not a pampered young lady. Your mother is used to hardship and doesn't care about such things. Those were bad dishes that your mother made herself. If he eats them badly, he'll ruin his health and surely pass the imperial examination next spring."
Qin Wan said, "If his father finds out, I know how much he'll scold him."
Cui nodded repeatedly.
If Lin Ziqi is so eager to have a son, and says something behind the scenes at the Beihou Mansion, Wei Xian will probably come to you to cause trouble again.
The man from the Hou family took out a handkerchief to wipe my face with heartache. “My son, you’re walking so slowly. He studies hard and needs to take better care of his health.”
Did that incident happen in later generations? What was it like?
"Isn't it because I'm willing to marry into a lower-class family that I'm willing to live a simple life? Mother, he's just worrying. There's no such thing as wealth or hardship in this world that comes for free. Did you tell him that I'm destined to be an outstanding person in the Northern Marquis's Mansion? My poems have caught the eye of noblemen, and I've risen to prominence. They'll know you're right. My life is lowly, but I'll live a life of modest wealth."
Lin's mother asked blankly, "Whose idea was that?"
Therefore, Wei Xian had no choice but to endure it.
Qin Wan noticed that Lin's mother was keeping a close eye on you that day. She let you talk to Lin Ziqi, and even though she offered you a meal, she sent you away.
Man-made disasters can be big or small; if someone with ulterior motives frames you, it can be very serious.
Qin Wan always managed to keep Wei Xian away for a little while, always saying that he had been wronged at the Lin family.
Seeing your state, the Marquis of Bei knew that something small had happened outside the house, so he asked with a smile, "Mother, why did he come? There's nothing wrong, so why did he send Lin's mother? You're getting old, you should go out less."
Therefore, Lin Ziqi asked further questions.
