Chapter 303 Yuanniang and Gu Heng's relationship eased
After the flood, Jiangcheng was in ruins and many houses collapsed.
Chen Jingyan and Su Mo arrived in Jiangcheng one after another. After Su Mo arrived in Jiangcheng, he wanted to find Lord Zhao Xuan, but he didn't find him. Instead, he met Gu Heng first.
Knowing that Gu Heng was the second master of the Marquis' Mansion, Su Mo thought it would be okay to give him the things he brought from the capital.
Since arriving in Jiangcheng, Su Mo has been following Gu Heng.
She did have some opinions on how to deal with the flood. After listening to her, Gu Heng felt that they were very reliable, much more reliable than the doctors from the capital.
First of all, these swollen corpses must be disposed of immediately, and the best way is cremation.
Of course, if you burn these bodies, their families will not be happy about it. How should you deal with this matter?
Su Mo said that it must be a mandatory decision.
"Second Master Gu, this is the only way to do it. The weather is hot right now. I know you are also knowledgeable in medicine. If you can't deal with these corpses in time, it will definitely cause a plague to rage."
"Secondly, as for the places where the bodies were stored, if there's a need to preserve them, then leave those houses alone. If they're just ordinary thatched huts, it's better to just burn them down."
Gu Heng looked at Su Mo and said, "This matter is not something I can decide. I still have to listen to Lord Zhao's arrangements."
Su Mo said, "The Marquis should have already entered Jiangcheng. Perhaps Second Master Gu can consult with the Marquis."
"I'm going to go help distribute the food up front."
Gu Heng nodded.
Su Mo brought a few people with her.
Li Yuan found her family. Except for some maids and servants who were washed away by the flood and disappeared, her family was basically safe.
Li Yuan finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on his mind.
After settling his parents, Li Yuan stayed with them for a few days. His grandparents were not in good health and had not been able to eat for the past few days. His mother was serving them. Li Yuan felt distressed when he saw his haggard mother.
"Mom, why don't you come with me to Kyoto?"
"The Second Master has bought a yard outside. It won't have any impact if you live there."
Mother Li took Li Yuan's hand and said, "Mother Yuan, our family's roots are here. Even if your father and I go there, there are so many people in the Li family. Are they all dependent on you to support them?"
"Gu Heng is a good boy. You should live a good life with him. The Queen Mother beside you has told me everything you want to do in the Marquis' Mansion."
"My daughter, divorce is not necessarily a good thing. The young master of the Gu family has done nothing wrong to you. He just found a young girl outside. If you like her, you let her into the backyard. If you don't like her, you just send her away. Can he really hate you?"
Hasn't this always been the case?
When a wife is unwell, she will take a concubine for her husband.
But she didn't know when she started to hope that Gu Heng would only love her, only care about her, and only have her in his eyes and heart.
A pair for life.
This is what many women dream of.
When did she have such an extravagant dream?
I guess I started to envy him after seeing how my third cousin treated Princess Huayang.
Doesn't she deserve it?
Why doesn't she deserve a man's wholehearted love?
Li Yuan felt aggrieved.
But her mother could not understand this grievance. She even felt that if she told her mother that she wanted to be together for the rest of her life, her mother would definitely blame her for being naive and that it was her fault.
Li Yuan had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
"I live a good life with him."
"Mom, it's really not good to be an adult. It's not good at all. I wish I were still young."
Mother Li smiled and said, "Silly child, who doesn't grow up in their lifetime?"
Yes, like Nian Nian.
Everyone says Nian Nian is stupid, and there is a word called developmental delay, but she thinks it is good for Nian Nian to be ignorant of the sufferings of the world.
But she absolutely couldn't say this in front of her third cousin and Yun Qiao, otherwise they would think that she didn't want Nian Nian to be well.
Li Yuan was talking to her mother when Gu Heng came back from his busy schedule at dinner time, carrying a bag of flour and half a piece of pork.
"My dear son-in-law, where did you get this meat?"
Considering that the Li family was such a wealthy family, they naturally had no shortage of food and drink before the flood. But in the current situation, having enough to eat is already a precious thing. How could they possibly eat meat, especially the delicious pork?
"The Marquis has arrived, bringing with him a batch of pigs and sheep, freshly slaughtered. I brought some to last a few days."
Father Li immediately called someone over to take the pork.
The place where they lived was a dilapidated small courtyard. The things inside were very simple and the houses were simple. People inside could hear clearly what was said outside.
Knowing that Gu Heng had returned, Li's mother and Li Yuan also came out of the house.
After greeting his mother-in-law, Gu Heng's eyes fell on Li Yuan.
"I just ran into Sanlang. His men have already entered the city to clean up. It will probably be almost done in three days."
"Soon, everyone will be able to go home."
Li Yuan nodded to Gu Heng, then remembered something, "But I asked, how is Chen Yang at home?"
"I asked, and Sanlang said that he lives with Chaochao and Mumu, and they study and live together."
Li Yuan: "Then I feel relieved."
Seeing that she looked unhappy, Gu Heng came forward and led her to a table.
"Let me check your pulse. You don't look well these days, do you?"
"I'm worried about my grandparents. They're old and can't withstand the storms."
In fact, she was suffering from malnutrition. She had lost a lot of weight and her complexion looked worse.
"We'll go back after my parents-in-law return to the Li family. You're already weak, and you won't eat anything here. Yuanniang, I brought the meat so you can eat more."
As a person who came to Jiangcheng to control the flood, he shouldn't have taken so much meat privately.
But for Li Yuan, he was not afraid of being talked about behind his back.
"Second Master, I was wrong earlier. I was just throwing a tantrum and being petty. Please don't take it to heart."
"What's wrong? Why are you apologizing to me for no reason? You are my wife. I can't always be with you. It's my fault. I know you have resentment in your heart."
"When we get back to Kyoto, I'll spend more time with you when I have time."
"Take care of yourself, and then we can have another daughter."
Li Yuan hummed, tears rolling down her cheeks. She didn't know why he suddenly became gentle, but she felt in her heart that what she had done before was even more excessive.
***
Chen Jingyan came to Jiangcheng to deploy troops and generals. He had to take responsibility for suppressing the officials in Jiangcheng.
As long as everyone works together, we can get things done more efficiently.
Within three days, the accumulated water in the city was drained out, and the residents were able to return to live.
