Shen also knew about this.

Five days ago, after Chu Qianchen left, Nanny Chen went to Mei'er's house on purpose. When she came back, she said that Mei'er had not seen anyone else near the rockery.

Nanny Chen frowned and continued, "That day, Mei'er was talking halfway when she suddenly had a nosebleed. I handed her a handkerchief, and some of her nosebleed was stained on my hand."

Hearing this, Chu Qianchen asserted with certainty: "The source should be Mei'er."

At this time, the head maid came in and reported that all the slaves in the yard had been checked, and none of them had wounds on their bodies, and no one had rashes on the skin. Someone had been sent to the storehouse to get mugwort leaves, and the kitchen was asked to boil water, and everyone would take a mugwort bath later.

Chu Qianchen sorted out his thoughts and explained to Shen: "Mother, although this 'Seven Days' disease is fierce, only the blood of the patient is contagious. In other words, people can only be infected if they come into contact with the patient's blood."

"The reason why three out of ten houses in Ru County were empty was actually because the disease spread from a pork shop. The owner of the pork shop was infected with the seven-day flu, and his blood dripped onto the meat he sold, which is why the disease spread so fiercely."

"Madame Chen was infected because her palm wound came into contact with Mei'er's blood before it healed."

In other words, as long as the rash on Nanny Chen's body does not ulcerate and bleed, and she does not vomit blood, cough up blood, or have a nosebleed, she is just sick and is not contagious.

Just now, Chu Qianchen ordered everyone in the main courtyard to check if they had any wounds or rashes on their bodies, just to be on the safe side.

Shen heaved a sigh of relief when she heard this and chanted a Buddhist prayer in her heart.

"As for Mei'er..." Chu Qianchen's phoenix eyes flashed with a strange light.

She didn't finish her words, but Shen understood what she had left unsaid.

There are not so many coincidences in this world. Maybe Mei'er really saw something on the day Chu Yunmu fell, which is why she was killed in this way to silence her.

Shen couldn't help but shudder and felt a little scared.

If Sister Chen hadn't reminded me to look for Mei'er that day, perhaps Mei'er would have died quietly in her own home.

If Sister Chen had not been careful today and discovered that something was wrong with Nanny Chen, Nanny Chen would probably have died in obscurity in the end.

Thinking of this, Shen felt even colder in her heart.

Although it was the season of spring with flowers blooming, she felt as if she had just crawled out of an ice cave and her whole body was cold.

At this moment, she could be sure that Mu Ge'er's fall was definitely not an "accident"!

What’s even more terrifying is that the person behind the scenes actually wanted to use such a covert method to kill people and silence them.

If Mei'er died, everyone would think she died of illness. To put it bluntly, the death of a domestic child from illness is nothing more than being wrapped in a thin mat. Who would investigate the cause of her death?

The room was dead silent, and you could hear a pin drop.

Nanny Chen could also understand these principles, and her body almost trembled slightly.

Shen was silent for a long time before she sighed and said, "Sister Chen, thank you for your hard work."

"Mother, let me prescribe a prescription for Nanny Chen first." Chu Qianchen had already thought of the prescription's composition, "Take three doses first and see how it works."

This was the first time Chu Qianchen treated Qi Ri Fu. In his previous life, he had only seen the symptoms and pulse of Qi Ri Fu in his master Lin Miao’s medical notes.

The head maid hurried to prepare pen and ink. Chu Qianchen quickly wrote a prescription, and Shen ordered someone to get the medicine.

Chu Qianchen warned again: "Madame Chen, you'd better stay in your room for the next three days and don't scratch the rash on your face. It's best to wrap your fingertips with a rough cloth, just in case."

Nanny Chen nodded in agreement and dared not say a word more.

How could she dare to leave the house? Although the Second Miss said that it would not be contagious as long as there was no bleeding, what if, what if she passed the disease to the Madam or the Fourth Young Master, she would not be worthy of dying a hundred times!

Nanny Chen hurried back to the back room.

According to Chu Qianchen's instructions, someone will put the prepared medicine soup at the door of her room later, and the next meal will also be put at the door for her to take.

The other servants moved to the back house temporarily.

Shen looked at Chu Qianchen making arrangements in an orderly manner, with a smile on her lips.

Whether it's her extraordinary medical skills or her way of dealing with people...how many secrets does she have?

"Mother," Shen was thinking, when she heard Chu Qianchen say again, "I want to go to Mei'er's house to see her."

According to the time calculation, Mei'er's "seven-day summer heat" is already on the sixth day, and Nanny Chen said that Mei'er had a nosebleed as early as five days ago, which means that Mei'er's condition is much more serious than Nanny Chen's.

Shen frowned slightly and objected, "No, it's too dangerous."

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Chu Qianchen is not a doctor, so there is no need for him to put himself in danger.

Chu Qianchen smiled and said seriously: "Mother, Mei'er can still be saved now."

In his previous life, Mu Ge'er died in unclear circumstances. He was only five years old and lay buried under the earth. Because he died young, he could not even be buried in the Chu family's ancestral tomb.

She knew nothing at the time and was unable to seek justice for Mu Ge'er, but now, everything is different.

"Mother, I must go."

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Chu Qianchen looked at Shen with clear eyes, his voice was as gentle as usual, but it was hard to refuse.

There was a firm expression on her delicate and picturesque face. The sunlight from the window fell into her beautiful phoenix eyes, which were flashing with golden light and shining brightly.

Shen stared at her blankly for a while before she responded, "Be careful..."

"Don't worry, mother. I know what to do." Chu Qianchen said with a smile.

This matter was urgent, so Chu Qianchen did not delay. He went back to his yard to make some simple preparations, put on his veil, and set off immediately.

She didn't want to bring Amber with her, but Amber insisted on coming along, so Chu Qianchen had no choice but to let her wear a veil as well.

Mei'er was a house-born girl who lived in Luoguxiang on Songhe Street where the Marquis's mansion was located.

The alley is very long, and those living in it are all the servants of the Marquis' Mansion. They have lived here for generations. Not only do these houses belong to the Marquis' Mansion, but they themselves also belong to the Marquis' Mansion.

Regardless of gender, when a house-born child reaches the age of seven, he or she will be sent to the marquis's mansion for selection by the masters. If they are lucky enough to be chosen to live in the mansion, they can earn an extra monthly salary for the family.

Chu Qianchen asked Amber to ask around, and an old woman showed them the way.

When Amber went to ask for directions, she also asked about Mei'er, and then she turned around and told Chu Qianchen:

"Girl, Mei'er's father died when she was three years old, and her mother found a stepfather. Mei'er's life has not been easy since she was a child. When she was seven years old, she was selected to work in the mansion, and she rarely went back on weekdays."

Luoguxiang is mostly filled with long townhouses, and Mei'er lives in the one at the very end of the alley.

"Girl, Mei'er is the only one living here. Her mother lives somewhere else with her stepfather."

This is what Amber just found out.

“Boom boom!”

Amber went up and knocked on the door. It was quiet inside, as if no one was there.

Amber hesitated and asked, "Girl, could she have gone out?"

"No." Chu Qianchen said confidently, "Her 'Seven Days of Hiding' is much more serious than Nanny Chen's. It's already the sixth day. She can't possibly still move."

As he spoke, Chu Qianchen tried to push the dilapidated wooden door in front of him.

“Squeak—”

The door opened as soon as it was pushed, and Chu Qianchen walked straight in, with Amber following nervously behind him.
