The attitude in subsequent replies was much better.
"To be honest, the doctors in the city are helpless against this epidemic. They say it's smallpox because the symptoms initially resemble those of smallpox, but the medicine only alleviates some of the symptoms and cannot cure it completely, so naturally no one who recovers is sent to the city."
Yun Qinglu smiled slightly, "That's right. Tell the people that not reporting what they know will kill their relatives, and also tell them that they will be able to go to the city to reunite with their families after they recover. However, as time goes by, the people do not see anyone being cured and sent to the city, which greatly increases their panic. So they would rather live in the city one day at a time with the worst in mind, at least they can die next to their relatives."
"This, this...this..." Xu Sheng hadn't thought of this, and after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out.
"I'll prepare ten doses of medicine tonight and distribute them first thing tomorrow morning. Seven doses will be for the seriously ill, and three doses for those with milder symptoms. Those with milder symptoms will be fully recovered in three days. I'll trouble Lord Xu to send them into the city in a grand manner." Yun Qingluo already had a plan.
Xiao Yi complained, "Tch, they say 'I'll prepare ten doses of medicine tonight,' but I'll be the one who's exhausted in the end."
"Alright, let's do as Doctor Yun says," Xu Sheng decided.
After the meal, the group was taken to the courtyard that Xu Sheng had urgently prepared.
"This courtyard was originally where a friend of mine stayed temporarily. After he left some time ago, I tidied it up once, and today I sent someone to clean it again. If anything is missing, just ask Steward Xu and he will take care of it," Xu Sheng said, standing at the gate of the courtyard with his men.
"Thank you very much, Lord Xu." Mo Beichen expressed his gratitude.
Back in her room, Yun Qingluo frowned slightly when she saw a thin mattress on the hard bed. After turning around and telling Mo Beichen to close the door quickly, she immediately took out two thick and soft mattresses from the system, spread them on the bed, took off her outer clothes, and lay down on the bed, saying comfortably, "This is so nice."
Mo Beichen looked at Yun Qingluo with doting eyes, and was about to walk towards her when there was a knock on the door.
Yun Qingluo's heart tightened.
Mo Beichen asked in a deep voice, "Who?"
"Lord Mo, Lord Xu sent us to bring you some hot water," a servant replied from outside the door.
Mo Beichen said coldly, "Leave it outside the door, we'll bring it in ourselves later."
The servant hesitated, not answering. Butler Xu had specifically instructed that these distinguished guests were from the capital and that they must not be slighted.
Seeing that the figure reflected in the window did not move, Mo Beichen said coldly, "My wife and I are always like this. We are not used to being served. Go and fetch some more water and put it at the door."
The servant outside the door breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly and respectfully replied, "Okay," and immediately went to have someone bring more hot water.
After seeing that the person had left, Yun Qinglu rolled over on the bed and muttered, "Luckily you reacted quickly, otherwise I would have had to put this soft mattress into my space again, and then take it out again later. It's such a hassle."
Mo Beichen smiled and said, "Luo Luo, wait here. I'll serve you tonight."
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo stiffened, stood up, glared at him, and then, seeing his eyes looking at her, blushed slightly and quickly took out a blanket from the system and covered herself with it.
It turned out that while she was rolling around, the straps of her clothes had come loose, revealing a patch of fair skin. No wonder that guy was staring at her like a hungry wolf.
Seeing Yun Qingluo huddled under the covers like a hamster, Mo Beichen chuckled softly, "We're an old married couple, and Luoluo is still shy?"
Just then, there was another noise outside the door, the footsteps sounding somewhat chaotic.
"Lord Mo, the hot water has been prepared and is placed outside the door. There's quite a lot of it, and it's very heavy. Would you like me to bring it in?" The servant knocked on the door and asked cautiously, looking at the buckets of water scattered on the ground outside.
Mo Beichen resumed his usual cold voice and said loudly, "No need."
The footsteps outside the door faded into the distance.
Mo Beichen brought in hot water and poured it into the bathtub in the adjacent side room's bathroom. He reached out to test the water temperature; it was too hot.
He went out again, but came back empty-handed.
"Luo Luo, wait a moment. I'll go get someone to bring some cold water." Mo Beichen walked to the bedside, kissed Yun Qingluo's forehead, and said gently.
Yun Qingluo grabbed Mo Beichen's hand and declared, "No need, I have cold water."
Her system contained several large tanks of clean, cold water. They had never been used; Xiao Yi found them an eyesore and kept telling her to throw them away. Little did she know they would come in handy now.
Yun Qingluo went straight to the side room, checked the water level, and seemed to be estimating how much water had been delivered.
Mo Beichen saw through her thoughts and explained, "Luo Luo, don't be afraid of being discovered. There's a switch at the bottom of this tub. After you finish showering, just turn on the switch and the water will drain out naturally. You don't need to wait for someone to come and empty the water."
He noticed something was off about the bottom of the bucket while he was pouring water. After examining it for a while, he finally understood what it was.
Yun Qingluo exclaimed, "I never expected it to be so convenient." The ancients were truly amazing.
Since that's the case, Yun Qingluo no longer hesitated and took out the cold water, which Mo Beichen poured into the bathtub.
"Alright, it's ready to use." Mo Beichen felt it was about time and told Yun Qingluo to take a shower first.
Yun Qingluo glanced at Mo Beichen, then suddenly ran to the door, cautiously opened it to peek inside, and then shrank back inside.
"Let's shower together. They only delivered this much hot water, so it's not good to trouble them to deliver it again." They're living on someone else's property and haven't done anything yet, so it's not appropriate to be too high-profile.
