Because this courtyard had been uninhabited for a long time, they had to clean it up after buying it.
Because it was too late, the two of them cleaned up two rooms. There were still many things that needed to be bought tomorrow.
They spent two days buying what they needed. During that time, Lin Yueran also asked others about the Fourth Prince's Mansion. However, because it was the prince's mansion, others did not dare to talk about it casually, so after asking several times, she didn't find out anything.
She originally wanted to go to the gate of the Fourth Prince's Mansion to ask, but when she saw so many guards guarding the door, Lin Yueran did not dare to go forward.
Although she had saved the Fourth Prince before, the Fourth Prince had already sent her a house and some silver money when they were in Jiangnan.
If she goes to him now, wouldn't people think she is trying to climb up the social ladder?
So when she passed by there, she looked at the door curiously, but she didn't dare to stay there for long, because there were several guards at the gate of the mansion. She was afraid that people would think she had bad intentions, and it would be bad if they arrested her.
But this Fourth Prince's Mansion is really big, it would be even better if I could live in it.
Thinking of this, Lin Yueran's mind suddenly popped up the majestic and handsome face of the Fourth Master. She really wanted to meet him.
Because Lin Yueran frequently inquired about the affairs of the Fourth Master's Mansion, people still noticed her.
A low-key and luxurious carriage was parked on the side of the bustling street. Upon hearing the news, the person who came whispered, "Send someone to find out who she is and what her relationship is to the Fourth Brother."
"Yes, I'll go right away." After saying that, the man got off the carriage and walked towards where Lin Yueran and others left.
The person inside the car said to the outside, "Return to the palace."
The carriage began to slowly drive towards the palace.

After these days of treatment by the imperial physician, Xuanxuan and the others were finally cured of smallpox.
All their previous clothes and personal belongings were taken out and burned.
After these few days, they had obviously lost a lot of weight, so Wen Mianmian specially prepared a table full of their favorite meals for them. At this time, a large group of them sat around the table and ate their favorite food happily.
"Honghui, after you finish your meal, go see your mother. You have had smallpox these days, and your mother is very worried." The Fourth Master picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it in Honghui's bowl, saying in a calm tone.
"Yes, Ama, I'll be there in a moment."
Wen Mianmian didn't say anything, but actively picked up food for the three of them, especially the eldest prince. Perhaps because of his weak body, he was even thinner than Xuanxuan and Chenchen, which was really pitiful to look at.
"Thank you, Mother Wen."
Honghui is a very polite and well-educated child, and he knows that he can get through this safely thanks to Wen E'niang.
Although his father didn't tell him, he knew in his heart that if it weren't for Wen E'niang, he might not have been able to survive.
Moreover, after recovering from smallpox this time, he actually felt that his body was much lighter than usual.
The usual feeling of weakness was much less, and he didn't know if it was his illusion.
Wen Mianmian smiled gently, "Eat quickly, you have become thinner due to hunger during this period, you need to nourish yourself well."
After the meal, Honghui went to the main courtyard to see his mother, while Wen Mianmian asked someone to bring the quadruplets over. They had been clamoring to see their brother for some time. Now that Xuanxuan and the others were better, Wen Mianmian was no longer worried about infecting them with smallpox.
The Fourth Master returned to his study to deal with the official business that had accumulated during this period. Now that the children were safe and sound, he was finally able to put his mind at ease.
In the main courtyard, Fu Jin was sitting on the bed with a haggard look on her face, drinking the bird's nest porridge fed to her by Nanny Li.
Although she was not feeling well these days, she still chanted sutras and prayed for Honghui in the small Buddhist temple, praying that he could safely survive this smallpox epidemic.
If she hadn't been unable to hold on any longer, she might still be chanting in the small Buddhist temple.
"How's Honghui doing?"
Fu Jin's face was pale, almost bloodless. She lowered her head and took a sip.
"I heard that he's almost recovered. Don't worry, Madam. He will come to see you as soon as the eldest prince gets better." Nanny Li scooped another spoonful and fed it to Madam Fu Jin's mouth.
Just after finishing the drink, Nanny Chang walked in quickly with a happy look on her face, "Fujin, the eldest prince is here."
When Fu Jin heard this, she subconsciously sat up straight, and her hand accidentally touched the bird's nest porridge held by Nanny Li, and the bird's nest porridge fell to the ground and scattered all over the floor.
Fu Jin ignored this and looked at Nanny Chang in surprise, "What you said is true, Honghui is fine."
"It's true, the eldest prince is fine now, and he has come to see you now." Nanny Chang finished speaking with a smile, and the next second, Honghui walked in.
When he came in, he saw his mother sitting on the bed with a pale face. Honghui walked up to her, knelt down, and bowed to her politely.
"Greetings to mother, are you okay?" Honghui knelt down and kowtowed, then raised his head and looked at his mother with worried eyes and spoke.
"It's okay, it's okay. As long as I see that you are fine, everything will be fine."
Seeing that he was still kneeling, she said, "Madame Chang, quickly help the eldest prince up and come over here so I can take a good look at him."
Nanny Li had already cleaned up the bird's nest porridge that had fallen on the ground and stood up to make room for the eldest prince.
Honghui walked up to his mother. The fourth lady looked at him carefully. Seeing that he was really fine and nothing was wrong, she smiled happily and said, "That's good, that's good."
As she spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably down Fourth Lady's face.
"Mother, don't cry. Look, I'm fine. And it's all thanks to Mother Wen and Father for taking care of me. Otherwise, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to endure it."
When the Fourth Lady heard her son mention Wen, her expression gradually calmed down and the tears in her eyes disappeared.
She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and said calmly, "What does this have to do with the Wen family? She must be taking care of her own children there. You should thank your father."
Although Wen had saved Honghui before, she was grateful to her for what happened that time and said that she would not harm her in the future. However, it was absolutely impossible for her to completely let go of her prejudice against her.
This time she must have gone there for her own son, and you can't tell what she was thinking.
She had saved Honghui before. Perhaps it was the situation at the time that forced her to save him. Perhaps she was sincere at the time, but as the children grew up, this sincerity would probably be exhausted over time.
After all, who would be so kind to other people's children for no reason? Fu Jin obviously didn't quite believe it.
