This person is none other than [someone else].
It's rouge.
With just one glance, Chen Siyuan clearly saw the haggard look on Rouge's face, as well as the bruises on her face.
In her past life, her second cousin died because of this woman, and seeing her in such a sorry state made her happy.
In a good mood, I ordered an extra bowl of soy milk.
After finishing her meal, Chen Siyuan patted her round belly.
Eager to see the shop, she decided to go to the Wen family's house first.
I wanted to know if my grandfather had processed what I had said, and also to see how my second cousin was doing.
Arriving at the Wen family's residence with familiarity, the guards at the gate, seeing that it was Chen Siyuan, let her through without even announcing her presence.
It feels so good to be back home.
Chen Siyuan hurried to the outside of her grandfather's courtyard, but did not see that familiar figure.
What's going on?
Chen Siyuan was surprised. Her grandfather always exercised at this time, so why wasn't he here today?
Just then, Butler Wang arrived.
"Young Miss—" Butler Wang bowed.
"Where is Grandpa?" Chen Siyuan asked.
"The old man went out early and hasn't returned yet."
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment and said, "Prepare some of Grandpa's favorite breakfasts."
"yes."
Butler Wang responded and left.
Chen Siyuan sat down at the stone table in the garden and waited.
Bored, she asked Chunlan to get paper and pen from the maid, and sat on the stone table in the garden thinking about the important events that were about to happen in her previous life.
Write everything down, one by one.
Actually, too many things happened in her past life, and she didn't know much about them. Basically, everything revolved around Song Ji, and the information she knew was limited to that area.
As she pondered, she slowly extended her thoughts based on her memories from her previous life.
Suddenly, Chen Siyuan remembered something extremely important: in her previous life, the Fourth Prince was eager to personally go and treat the plague, but it was the Third Prince who ultimately succeeded.
The third prince was also at a loss, but it seems that he suddenly encountered a folk doctor who cured the plague with ordinary medicine.
I thought and thought, who exactly was that folk doctor?
Just then, I heard footsteps coming from afar.
The moment she saw it was her grandfather, she immediately stood up. When her grandfather came over, she saw that he looked unwell, but she didn't say anything. She put away what she had just written and followed him into the house.
Butler Wang had already prepared the meal, and upon seeing Wen Tonghai return, he immediately brought it over.
Seeing that Wen Tonghai looked unwell, she was worried and quickly left at Chen Siyuan's signal.
"Grandpa, the day's plan starts in the morning, so breakfast is essential."
"You still have the appetite, girl." We just received news that Xucheng is indeed plagued by an epidemic. This news was only just received, and ordinary people are unaware of it yet.
Looking at his granddaughter, he recalled what he had said not long ago. He hadn't believed it before, but now he believed it to some extent.
“Grandpa, even if something terrible happens, there are tall guys to handle it. Why should we ordinary people care so much?”
"You..." Wen Tonghai wanted to give him a scolding, but then he thought about it again and realized that it made sense.
Chen Siyuan found it amusing to see her grandfather looking so angry, puffed up like a toad.
She dared not laugh out loud in front of her grandfather, and when she turned away to chuckle, she suddenly remembered a name.
Shi Dahai.
The folk doctor who eventually cured the plague was named Shi Dahai.
Looking at her grandfather, she excitedly grabbed his wrist, "Grandpa, please send someone to the outskirts of the capital to find a doctor named Shi Dahai."
"Why are you looking for this person?"
Chen Siyuan thought for a moment and asked, "Grandpa, is there any news from Xucheng?"
Wen Tonghai's heart sank. "A plague has broken out in Xucheng, and many people have died."
After saying that, he stared at his granddaughter, thinking she would be happy. Seeing her heavy expression, he felt a little better.
She brought this up first, and now she has this expression, plus the doctor she mentioned earlier—is there some hidden meaning in all of this?
“Grandpa, this Shi Dahai has a folk remedy for the plague. He doesn’t use expensive herbs, but he can achieve better results than expensive herbs.” If one or two people get the plague, even the most expensive herbs can cure them. Unfortunately, those who get the plague are ordinary people. Where would they get so much money? Besides, with so many people getting the plague, how many can the imperial court save?
"Be more specific." At this moment, Wen Tonghai stopped treating his granddaughter as a child and quietly waited for her to continue.
"Does Grandpa believe me?"
"Tell me about it." I just thought my granddaughter was composed, but she's already given herself away so quickly.
"Shi Dahai has a method to cure the plague. Too many people have contracted the plague, which is a considerable expense. Even if the court actually sends silver, how much of it will actually be spent on the people's health? Grandfather has a lot of money, why not do a good deed? Perhaps with this, when Grandfather really encounters a problem, there will be unexpected surprises."
Wen Tonghai recalled what his granddaughter had said last time: the Wen family's wealth had already attracted the attention of some people, and it was a good thing to spend money to gain fame at this time.
"Butler Wang."
Butler Wang arrived quickly, "Master."
Wen Tonghai gave a brief instruction and sent Steward Wang to carry out his duties. When he looked at his granddaughter again, he couldn't help but look at her in a different light.
While eating, he brought up the matter of Rouge.
“Wen Tao has really been framed, and he knows it now, so you don’t need to worry about that anymore.” Wen Tonghai hadn’t expected that it was the Fourth Prince’s men who had targeted Wen Tao.
Life is unpredictable. He had originally planned to help the Fourth Prince, but now he was completely disheartened.
He put in the money and effort himself, and yet someone plotted against his grandson—how could he allow that?
However, it's not that he wouldn't fight with officials; he would have already taken action against the Fourth Prince.
