My younger sister insisted on marrying me and made me the Marquis' wife.

Chapter 138 1 question 3 I don’t know

Hongye looked as if he was very disappointed with his friend.

The maids and old women lowered their heads and dared not speak a word.

Seeing Hongye like this, Gu Jinghui found it a little funny.

This personal maid of my young wife has taken the bullying to its extreme.

He stopped and stood outside the crowd to see what they were doing.

Hongye said again: "Hongmian, tell me, have you remembered it clearly this time?"

A clever little maid stepped forward, picked up the herbs on the straw mat, and began to talk, stuttering a little.

Gu Jinghui felt a little anxious after hearing this.

It took a long time to finish.

Hongye nodded.

Lord Gu was determined for only a moment, then said, "As he wishes."

Lord Gu frowned.

Lord Gu shook his head.

The old woman paced outside the house in annoyance, and after a long while she finally said, "He sent people to check out the palaces of several princes."

Qin Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

At first, the old woman gritted her teeth and said that if she came to resist, she would be tortured. In the first half of the night, Gu Shisi woke up Fan Piaoxiu.

Fan Piao nodded, and he was afraid that the old woman would be very busy for a while.

"Master, this woman has explained something, but..."

Qin Yuan asked: "Is there any news about Gu Jinghui?"

The driver had to stay outside for a few days to prevent himself from contracting the disease.

Qin Yuan said, "That's exactly what Yuan'er is worried about. If Gu Jinghui and this old woman run away and smallpox spreads in the mansion, that would be terrible."

Gu Shiba nodded and left.

Qin Yuan immediately assured: "Husband is worried, Yuan'er will definitely take care of the house. It makes husband worried, but..."

The old woman asked passionately, "Why did you come back? Why did I die? What do you know? I know everything."

Then comes the next one.

"Seventy to eighty percent..." Lord Gu murmured, "In Saibei, there was an outbreak of smallpox, and nearly 20 percent of the population died."

Lord Gu was stunned and looked at Qin Yuan in surprise.

People who contracted the plague were buried before they died.

Hongye said to Qin Yuan proudly: "Madam, we have learned everything."

Qin Yuan added: "Doctor Li is famous, but he is incompetent. I said that if chickenpox can be cured by medicine, then a mild case can be cured by prescribing some medicine. But if it is smallpox, it is hard to say..."

Dadong died in Yuhang County, and even Doctor Li didn't see him first.

Qin Yuan frowned and said, "This is the prescription brought by Doctor Li from Renhe Hall. It is said to be able to prevent smallpox."

Scholar Fan Piao had slept for a long time. He quickly got dressed and said, "Speak."

"Just what?"

The Dingbei Marquis Mansion is very small and has many masters. There are many vacant yards outside the mansion. Qin Yuan has not ordered people to clean them up to accommodate the sick people.

You can collect my body if you want, but you can only build a cenotaph next to Doctor Li's grave.

Gu Shiba glanced at Lord Gu hesitantly.

The old woman: "..."

In later generations, an epidemic in Yuhang County killed more than 20% of the population, and even entire villages were wiped out.

Qin Yuan said sternly, "Gu Jinghui was brought back from Saibei by my husband. If smallpox spreads from Dingbei Marquis' Mansion, we will be implicated."

Gu Jinghui waited for them to leave before walking up to them and asking, “How did you come up with this?”

Lord Gu said, "You know, he just needs to take care of the bad people in the mansion first. Gu Jinghui and this woman want to see the bodies of the dead."

If there is a mistake, Hongye will immediately stop and correct it.

Before the quick dinner, Lord Gu said, "He should go to bed early. You should go to the study in the inner courtyard to sleep today."

The two walked into the main room one after the other and sat down in the inner room. Lord Gu asked, "Can that recipe really prevent it?"

Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"remember."

Lord Gu asked hurriedly.

Gu Shisi continued, "Gu Jinghui was angered by the Eighth Madam, and after a while of cursing and swearing, he asked the two of you to go outside the Eighth Madam's yard and throw things. When you found out that something was wrong, you became more cautious. When you saw Gu Jinghui packing up his belongings and running away, you followed him out."

Lord Gu called Gu Shiba over and ordered, "Take the name card and go find the prosecutor who came to the mansion today and tell him that the missing Gu Jinghui and the old woman may have contracted smallpox in the mansion."

That's not a question that will answer all the questions.

Qin Yuan said: "The spices you mix can also prevent accidents, but they are especially harmful to others."

Qin Yuan nodded.

The old woman raised her eyebrows in annoyance and said, "If the spies guarding the house saw Fan Piaoxiu sneaking out of the house, would we follow her?"

Lord Gu said, "Let's go outside and talk."

If this matter is reported to the Jingzhao Yin Mansion, Lord Gu will only receive some punishment, which is better than suppressing the matter and making a fuss at the beginning.

Hongye said, "Okay, I've finished talking. Did you remember the amount Madam said?"

The old woman asked, "Where is Gu Jinghui?"

Lord Gu nodded: "Doctor Li is a talent."

Gu Shishi said: "The superior is capable."

"Just now, my eighth brother came back and saw this woman in the distance on the side street. Fourteenth brother has not brought anyone to catch her yet."

I know my wife is smart and she has never thought that you could think so far.

"This woman said that the deceased woman was Gu Jinghui's person. You were hired to take care of Sister Yu. You know a lot. At that time, the two children were only one year old. Pang Hai and Gu Jinghui lived separately. You mentioned their parents and friends a lot."

Lord Gu excitedly held Qin Yuan's hand and asked, "Yuan'er, how did he come up with this idea?"

Gu Jinghui also wrote down the stories he repeated one after another.

When Gu Shisi led people to interrogate the old woman, he wrapped her head tightly with a bib soaked in medicine.

"Go ahead," Lord Gu said with a sullen face, "Report the truth. You have to keep it secret."

"But... this matter should be reported to the Jingzhao Yinfu."

Qin Yuan said, "The prescription that Doctor Li brought said that it was only 70% to 80% effective."

Gu Jinghui was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it that Renhetang again?"

Gu Shisi stammered, "My Lord?"

Why run back after running away?

Qin Yuan said, "At first you thought it was chickenpox, and you were concerned about it. Anyone who has had pox will have it again. But when the prosecutors came and asked about it one by one, the two women's behavior was suspicious, and you didn't worry. When you heard what Dahong asked, you didn't believe it at all. When mother asked the imperial physician to examine it, you sent someone to ask Doctor Li of Renhe Hall for a solution, and Doctor Li sent a prescription."

Qin Yuan said, "That's right. When the herbs are bought in the mansion, you will divide them according to the prescription. The needlework room will suspend all needlework and make bibs quickly. Soak them in medicine and then wrap them around the mouth and nose. Each person will have three bibs to replace."

Lord Gu sighed.

Why run then?

Gu Shisi and others did not find the person in the side street, but the coachman outside the mansion discovered this woman under the carriage of Mr. Gu Ba.

Gu Shisi said, "You know that Gu Jinghui escaped last night. He was seen during the day. You saw that the situation was very interesting. He escaped at night when the old woman who was on night watch was drinking."

The driver had performed a small merit and received a reward of seventy taels of silver. Before he could even finish his celebration, he was sent to a separate courtyard for settlement.
