Chapter 161 But, there is no if!



A sudden outbreak of smallpox caused panic in the capital. Fortunately, the young princess of Prince Zhan's mansion had superb medical skills and made room to treat patients who needed isolation treatment.

Even the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince secretly sent the letter to Xie's house that night after the Emperor received the little princess' letter.

The young princess treated him personally.

All of a sudden, the haunted house that everyone was afraid of before was now crowded with people, and more and more patients were carried in and helped in.

General's Mansion.

Many people in the general's mansion also had fever, including Gao Laosan's two children, Gao Tairan's two daughters, and even Gao's old lady had a fever.

All four children have developed chickenpox.

The general's mansion had some connections after all, so Tang Liu asked someone to invite a doctor over.

After looking at the condition of the two children, the doctor immediately withdrew his hand and looked at Tang Liu with a serious expression.

"Madam, this is smallpox. News just came out today that smallpox has spread in our capital, and many people have high fevers and chickenpox.

Doctors and herbs are in short supply in the city now.

When I arrived, I just received news that the emperor had ordered the city gates to be closed, allowing only entry but not exit.

Madam, I can't cure smallpox.

Madam, please seek help from someone else."

After the doctor finished speaking, he picked up the medicine box and hurried away. Tang Liu couldn't stop him.

When they heard it was smallpox, Tang Liu and the people around her all changed their expressions.

"lady."

Tang Liu fell down softly, and the maids and servants were so scared that they hurried to support her.

Tang Liu's face was pale and his whole body was trembling.

Smallpox, how could it be smallpox?

Why would someone get smallpox for no reason?

"Madam, the Third Master's eldest son was brought back from the academy with a fever. After he came back, the old lady took care of him personally. Later, the old lady came to see the eldest and second young ladies.

Could this be it?

The old woman only said half of what she was saying.

The meaning couldn't be clearer.

After hearing this, Tang Liu was furious.

That old woman is so annoying.

Her daughter didn't like the old woman, but the old woman often secretly tried to get close to her daughter, often trying to get some benefits from her daughter, and even took the pearl flowers and gave them to Gao Laosan's daughter.

It’s infuriating just thinking about it!

Now he is bringing deadly smallpox to her daughter.

Tang Liu waved his hand and said, "Someone come here! Come with me to take a look."

"yes."

Tang Liu brought his men to the yard where Old Lady Gao lived in a threatening manner.

Gao Laosan's wife was waiting outside the gate of the courtyard, wanting to ask a doctor to come over and check on her child.

"Doctor, there are two children here who have caught a cold, and my mother-in-law is also not feeling well. Please help me with the treatment."

When the doctor heard that she had caught a cold, he immediately shook his head and said, "No need to see a doctor! It should be the same as the eldest and second young ladies' condition.

I can’t cure this disease.”

Gao Laosan’s wife quickly chased after him.

"Doctor, please save the child."

The doctor ignored her and left quickly.

Gao Laosan’s wife had no choice but to return to the yard.

I happened to meet Tang Liu at the gate of the courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, mother and two children are all sick. Can you ask a doctor to come and see them? They have a high fever and it won't go away. If it continues like this, we don't know what will happen..."

"It would be easier if he died!" Tang Liu interrupted Gao Laosan's wife fiercely, entered the yard, and immediately ordered, "Someone, go check on the patient."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid went in and came out soon.

"Ma'am, I have a fever and chickenpox."

Bang!

Tang Liu slapped Gao Laosan's wife on the face, "It's all the disease your son brought back from the academy, and now my daughter is sick too. I really regret it, why did I agree to let you come to the capital?

You shameless country folk should stay in the country.

I haven't had a peaceful day since you came to my house.

Get out of here!

Get out of my house right now.

If anything happens to my daughter, I will not forgive you and I will make sure that you, young and old, are buried with her."

Gao Laosan's wife's face was swollen from being beaten.

She looked at Tang Liu timidly, and suddenly knelt down, "Sister-in-law, the child and mother are sick now, you can't chase us away, where can we go if we leave here?

Sister-in-law, please be kind and don’t chase us away.”

"What are you arguing about here?" Old Gao came out of the house, his clothes still in disarray, followed by a maid with tears all over her face.

The maid's hair was disheveled and her clothes were torn.

When the maid saw Tang Liu, she rushed over and knelt down and kowtowed, "Please Madam, help me, the old man...he...he forced me in the room, and now I have lost my innocence.

Madam, please save me.

I don't want to follow the old master, I have no way to survive."

As she spoke, the maid bumped to the side.

Fortunately, someone came in and pulled him back.

Tang Liu looked at this scene and suddenly his eyes turned black and he felt so angry that his head hurt.

She glared at Old Gao and said, "You shameless old man, this is the General's Mansion, you are shameless and unmanly, are you going to cause your son to be unable to hold his head up in front of his colleagues in the court?

You guys... one by one...

Get out of here, now and immediately!"

It's really crazy!

This group of blood-sucking worms.

Old Gao felt so embarrassed by being scolded by his daughter-in-law in public that he pointed at Tang Liu and yelled, "Old man, daughter-in-law, you should obey your husband after you get married. It doesn't matter if you were a lady from the general's mansion before, but you are now the daughter-in-law of my Gao family.

I am your father-in-law. How can you point at your father-in-law and curse him like this?

You have committed... one of the seven offenses.

If you dare to drive us away, we will ask our neighbors at the gate of the general's mansion to seek justice. If that doesn't work, we will sue you at the government.

Who will make my eldest son lose face then?

It's you!

And what you asked us to do before, do you think we dare not tell others?

Don't push me!

There is no benefit in forcing me!"

Old Gao has become accustomed to enjoying himself in recent years.

Want to drive him out of the General's Mansion now? No way!

As for Old Mrs. Gao, he doesn't care about her.

If he is sick, he is sick. It would be better if he died. That would not stop him from sleeping with others.

Now, none of the maids and servants in their courtyard could escape the clutches of old man Gao. They all knew that old lady Gao was not an easy person to deal with, so they didn't dare to make a fuss when they suffered a loss.

Tang Liu was so angry that he couldn't speak.

He left angrily with his sleeves thrown.

Old Gao stared at the maid on the ground with a fierce look.

The maid screamed in fear, got up and ran out.

He kept rushing out of the gate, and finally, perhaps out of despair, he ran headfirst into the big lion at the gate of the general's mansion and died.

The maid's parents were still in the mansion. After hearing the news, they ran out crying, hugged the maid's cold body, and sobbed about the crimes of old man Gao.

Now the General’s Mansion became famous.

Such a scandal spread throughout the capital in an instant.

When Gao Tairan came out of the palace, the guards immediately went to greet him and looked at him with difficulty.

Gao Tairan was already in a complicated mood, especially after learning from the emperor that his son was Feng Xuanzi's apprentice, and that his adopted daughter was actually Prince Zhan's daughter, and had now been named Princess Yong'an.

This made his heart bleed.

If the relationship had not been severed, and if both children recognized him as their father, how successful would he be today?

But, there are no ifs!
