"Zhuye, go to the side room next door and rest." Gu Yunran said to Zhuye who was guarding the door, trying to suppress his discomfort.
Hearing that something was wrong with Gu Yunran, Zhuye was startled and rushed into the inner room in a hurry.
"Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"
Gu Yunran covered her mouth with a handkerchief and waved her hand to let Zhuye go away.
"Don't come over here. I might have been infected with smallpox by Lu Qingzhou."
Zhuye was so scared that his face turned pale.
Smallpox!
If it gets serious, it can be fatal.
"Madam, please wait. I will go get a doctor for you."
Zhuye didn't care about anything else. He wrapped himself tightly and quickly left the house.
The only place she could go now was the Prime Minister's Mansion.
When Zhuye arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already dawn.
The old housekeeper came out to open the door and saw Zhuye. His eyebrows jumped: "Is something wrong with the young lady?"
Zhuye told the old housekeeper the whole story. The old housekeeper turned pale with anger and said, "Son-in-law is so shameless. How could he treat the young lady like this for a child from a distant clan?"
"Zhuye, come in. I'll go inform the Prime Minister right away."
"Old housekeeper, I won't go in. I'm afraid I'll get infected too and harm the entire Xiangfu."
The old housekeeper heard it and said, "Okay, you wait at the door for now."
In less than half a minute, Prime Minister Gu had already put on his clothes and hurried out.
"Let's go, hurry up and get the carriage and go to Doctor Mu's residence."
It happened that Imperial Physician Mu was on vacation at home these two days, so he put on some heavy things and rode at full speed to the Mu Mansion.
Lu Mansion, Fangxingyuan.
Gu Yunran lay on the bed drowsy and without any strength at all. His throat was so dry that it felt like it was smoking. He coughed uncomfortably but couldn't get up.
At this moment, Gu Yunran felt that he was about to die.
Her hatred for Lu Qingzhou increased. In order to save the child, Lu Qingzhou had unexpectedly used such despicable means to force her to ask for Doctor Mu.
Looking at the ceiling of the tent helplessly, Gu Yunran closed her eyes, with a sore spot in her eyes. If she could survive this time, she would make Lu Qingzhou repay her a hundredfold.
When he opened his eyes again, Gu Yunran's eyes were much clearer.
There was a sound of a door being pushed open outside, and Gu Yunran asked, "Zhuye, are you back?"
Her voice was so small and weak that it was almost inaudible.
"Madam, it's me, Peach Blossom."
Taohua walked in carrying a basin of water.
"Get out now." Gu Yunran said anxiously, "I have smallpox."
However, Taohua acted as if she hadn't heard anything. She walked straight to Gu Yunran's bed and said respectfully, "Madam, this servant is here to take care of you."
"When Sister Zhuye left, she told this servant to take care of you."
Taohua said, wet the towel in hot water, wrung it out and placed it on Gu Yunran's forehead, "I am not afraid, my life was given by Madam."
Taohua said it easily, without any fear.
Three years ago, her family suffered a sudden change. She and her brother Chen Mo escaped death and fled to the countryside. They had no money and were about to starve to death. It was the lady who saved them and brought them back to the mansion, kept them there and gave them some food.
The brother and sister were so grateful that they couldn't express it all. How could they possibly avoid the lady when she needed them the most?
Taohua served Gu Yunran carefully, wiped her forehead, and cooked a bowl of porridge and fed it to Gu Yunran one spoonful at a time.
A warm current flowed in his heart, and Gu Yunran couldn't help but have tears in his eyes.
At the beginning, saving them was just a piece of cake for her, but she didn't expect that they would spend their whole lives to repay her.
In his previous life, he devoted himself to the Lu family and worked hard all his life. He was exhausted and finally sat in a wheelchair. Gu Yunran simply handed over all the business to Chen Mo. Chen Mo lived up to his expectations and made the business bigger and bigger. The wealth of the Lu family ranked among the top three in Shengjing. He was so tired that he had white hair and never married.
Taohua even used her life to protect Gu Yunran during a riot.
After finishing a bowl of porridge, Gu Yunran regained some strength. She said, "Taohua, I'm going to sleep for a while. You can go to the outer room and rest."
"Yes, ma'am, if you need anything, please call me."
Gu Yunran nodded and reminded: "Remember to wear a mask."
Taohua agreed and walked out.
Just as Gu Yunran lay down, Madam Lu came in angrily and asked Gu Yunran, "Why are you still lying in bed?"
"Qingzhou is ill, please go and get Doctor Mu."
"I'm sick too, and I got it from your son." Gu Yunran said coldly. She didn't even bother to look at Mrs. Lu.
"You have to get up even if you are sick." Old Madam Lu didn't care about Gu Yunran's life or death. All she had in her eyes was her son's life.
"Women have always had such a hard life. Even if they are sick, they have to take care of their husband's family. What's more, Qingzhou is your husband. It is your responsibility to hire a doctor for him."
"I have already prepared the carriage."
Madam Lu said this, winking at the maid beside her, "Hurry up and get Madam up."
The two maids covered their faces with masks, revealing their eyes. They glanced at Gu Yunran, feeling a little embarrassed.
"What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and do it!"
Madam Lu shouted harshly, and the two maids were startled and hurried forward to grab Gu Yunran.
Taohua fetched a pot of water and saw this scene as soon as she entered the house.
She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She threw the kettle to the ground, ran over, and kicked the two maids to the ground with her left and right kicks.
"How dare you! Madam is sick, what do you want to do?" Taohua shouted at the two maids.
She opened her arms to block Gu Yunran's way and said firmly, "If you want to carry my wife away, you'll have to step over my body."
