Chapter 247, Arrival
Daohua knew that the reason why the old lady and Madam Li pushed the problem to each other was simply because they were reluctant to let her take risks. At the same time, she was worried about Yan Wenxiu and the other two who were trapped in Xingyun Mansion.
As long as there is a way to have the best of both worlds, neither of them will blame each other.
Since the two of them couldn't make up their minds, they let her do it.
After thinking this through, Daohua went to the main courtyard and told Madam Li that the old lady agreed to let her go to Xingyun Mansion.
"What?! The old lady agreed to let you go?"
Mrs. Li looked at the rice flowers in disbelief.
Daohua stepped forward with a smile: "Mom, I was raised by the old lady. She knows how much I cherish my life. I will definitely not run around when I get to Xingyun Mansion. Besides, I understand medical knowledge and have made so many masks. I have taken sufficient precautions. As long as I am careful, I will be fine."
Mrs. Li was still hesitant, but she was not as opposed as before.
Seeing this, Daohua didn't intend to let Madam Li tell her to go to Xingyun Mansion in person, and said directly: "Then mother, I will go and prepare now!"
Mrs. Li stretched out her hand, trying to stop it, but finally put it down powerlessly.
My daughter might not be able to play any role in the past, but if something really happens, Wen Xiu and the others can at least bring their bodies back so that they won't be stranded in a foreign land.
After leaving the main courtyard, Daohua ran to Songhe Courtyard and said the same words to the old lady.
The old lady was silent for a long time after hearing this. She looked at the rice flowers silently and finally closed her eyes: "Since your mother agrees, then you can go! But..."
The old lady suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed Daohua's hand so tightly that Daohua felt pain.
Feeling the old lady's worry and anxiety, Daohua didn't dare to shout and just looked at her quietly.
The old lady said: "Your mother and I are waiting for you at home. If anything happens to your brother or her, you must take good care of yourself. Even if you can't bring them back, you must come back on your own."
Daohua reached out and hugged the old lady, her nose a little sour as she said, "Grandma, don't worry, I have so many farms and shops waiting for me to come back and take care of them."
As he said this, he patted the old lady on the back.
"I will come back with my three brothers, for sure!"
After persuading the old lady and Mrs. Li, Daohua sped up her preparations.
Yan Zhigao only found out about this the day before Daohua left.
Looking at his eldest daughter eating peacefully at the table, Yan Zhigao felt mixed emotions. He wanted to stop her, but he couldn't bring himself to do so.
He had high hopes for his eldest son, and he wanted to rescue him if there was even a glimmer of hope.
But if this meant sacrificing the safety of his eldest daughter, he would hesitate.
Seeing the worry in her stepfather's eyes, Daohua's eyes flashed, and she lowered her head and said, "Don't worry, father. I will take good care of myself and bring my three brothers back. It's just a matter of family."
Yan Zhigao interrupted, "Since I have punished Lin, I will not change."
He knew his eldest daughter's worries.
Yes, he did have some preference for Lin and her children, but this love did not outweigh his respect for his legitimate children and his wife, and he never thought of letting Lin's children overshadow his legitimate children.
Daohua smiled faintly: "I believe in my father."
Yan Zhigao looked at Daohua deeply and said, "Your father also believes in you. I believe you will go home with your three brothers." After that, he buried his head in eating rice without saying a word.
After a while, he continued, "By the way, there are several doctors in Xingzhou City who are good at medicine. Tomorrow morning, I will go there and try to get them to go with you."
Hearing this, Daohua's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, father."
With the doctor accompanying her, she felt more at ease.
The boat was borrowed from the Zhou family. This time, Daohua brought more medicinal herbs and other things.
With Yan Zhigao's mediation, five doctors were willing to go.
The Zhou family also sent a few servants over.
The group boarded the boat and sailed towards Xingyun Prefecture.
At the dock, Zhou Jingwan watched the departing ship with a look of worry on her face. After watching for a long time, she murmured, "After all, I'm still not as brave as Daohua."
When the maid heard this, she immediately said, "Miss, it was the old master and the mistress who didn't let you go."
Zhou Jingyao shook her head. Some things can deceive others but not herself. "No, I am afraid. I am afraid of contracting the plague and dying. Otherwise, even if my grandfather and parents stopped me, I would go with Daohua."
Maid: "Miss, didn't Miss Yan say that you can still help them even if you don't go there in person?"
Zhou Jingwan's eyes lit up. "Yes, Daohua is right. Xingyun Mansion needs medicinal herbs. Let's go back now and ask the housekeeper to collect the herbs and then send them to my brother and Daohua."
Xingyunfu Wharf.
Lu Shuo was leading his men to deal with the victims who had fallen to the ground. When he saw a boat approaching, he immediately sent people forward to stop it.
"Hurry up, hurry up, there's a plague here and we can't stop."
Unexpectedly, the ship did not turn around and leave as usual, but slowly sailed over.
Seeing this, Lu Shuo's face became furious: "Asshole, we are already busy enough, and you still come to make trouble." As he said that, he walked over angrily.
On the deck, Daohua, wearing a mask, frowned as she looked at the victims lying in groups around the port.
The doctors who accompanied them also looked heavy-hearted.
Doctor Zhao, the oldest, spoke up, "Miss Yan, I won't be going into the city with you anytime soon. I've seen quite a few victims still alive outside the city. I'll stay and treat them."
After that, two more doctors stepped forward and said, "We'll stay too."
In addition to giving face to Yan Zhizhou, these people followed him here because they really wanted to do something for the victims infected with the plague. Even if they only saved one person in the end, it would be good.
Daohua bowed to the three doctors and said, "Thank you for your kindness, doctors. I will leave some medicinal herbs for you to use later. By the way, I have prepared some medicinal powder that can be dissolved in water and sprinkled on the areas where the disaster victims have gathered. It may have a disinfecting effect. You doctors can use it as appropriate."
Doctor Zhao nodded solemnly. He had chatted with the eldest daughter of the Yan family several times on the boat these days. From her words, he could tell that she really understood medical skills.
Moreover, some methods of preventing plague are very useful.
Take the mask they are wearing now, for example, he thinks it is very practical.
Therefore, he would not look down on the method he proposed just because the other party was young.
At this time, the ship docked.
When Lu Shuo came over, he was ready to curse.
We are all human beings. These soldiers are risking their lives to deal with the plague here. Their minds are already very tense. Now someone comes to cause trouble for them. He didn't take action right away. He was already in a good mood.
However, when he saw everyone walking down from the boat, all wearing masks, his expression changed.
There's nothing he can do about it, since he's wearing one on his face now.
This was specially given to him by the young prince through someone he asked, saying that it could prevent him from contracting the plague. Now he wants to wear it on his face even when he eats.
After getting off the boat, Daohua looked around and finally her eyes fell on Lu Shuo.
It’s because among so many people, he was the only one wearing a mask.
"General, my father, the governor of Xingzhou, heard that there was a plague in Xingyun Prefecture. He was extremely worried and sent us here to help."
