Chapter 213 – They’re All Misunderstood

On the eighth day of the first month, the medicinal materials were finally available, and the people sent by Mrs. Yuan finally brought back three large carts of medicinal materials.

With the medicine, the crowd could not help but rejoice, and then the entire small courtyard was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

No one found the smell pungent and unpleasant because it represented hope.

Pot after pot of medicine was sent from the small courtyard to the home of each patient.

At the same time, Wei Ruo also sent a letter to Mrs. Yuan again, asking the government office to send people from door to door to investigate and count the situation of the patients, to make sure that no one is left out.

Because the disease is contagious, but if you miss one, you may have a lot of trouble later.

Thankfully, due to the snowy roads and the fear of the plague, the majority of the people in the city chose to stay closed, thus largely avoiding the large-scale spread of the plague during this period of time.

In addition, all the dead patients, the government office should also send people to unified treatment, the body, as well as the patient’s clothing and some personal items worn before life need to be burned in a timely manner, after the burning of the ashes can be returned to the family.

Upon receiving Wei Ruo’s letter, Mrs. Yuan immediately informed her husband, Yuan Zhengqin, and arranged things down.

###

The tenth day of the first month.

Wei Ruo still hadn’t returned to the school captain’s house.

Yun could not tolerate it anymore at the moment, there is a limit to everything, even if it is invited by the nobleman to spend the New Year’s Eve at home, there should be a measure, where there is no news from the New Year’s Eve until the tenth day of the first month.

So Yun planned to send Jinghu to the Yuan family to inquire about the situation.

Learning of this, Wei Yi-chen once again asks for orders to personally go and fetch Wei Ruo back to his house.

“Mother, the Yuan residence is not like other homes, so it would be prudent for me to go there myself.”

It would be bad to send an individual to the door to ask for someone, in case the matter was not handled properly and left a bad impression on Yuan’s family.

The other side of the high position, they Wei home low position, even if it is a special period, the respect should still have, not lose the etiquette.

Yun thought about it is also reasonable, and thought of these days outside the situation has improved, many people also began to go out.

Then he said, “Then you will go straight to your home, and do not make any stay on the road, and go out in a carriage, and not on horseback or on foot, so as not to come into contact with people.”

“The child knows.”

Wei Yi Chen immediately went out the door, taking the carriage as Yun had intended.

And the boy who drove in the front also took a facecloth to cover half of his face, this is the method that came out from the government office side, saying that it can avoid being passed on to catch the plague, we don’t know what this is about, but there is certainly nothing wrong with following it.

The carriage arrived at the side gate of the Yuan Mansion, and after Wei Yi-chen explained his intentions to the guards guarding the gate, the guards told Wei Jin-yi to wait a bit.

After a while, the guards came back with a message from Mrs. Yuan.

“Young Master Wei, I’m sorry, my wife said it was her negligence, she was so busy that she forgot to notify the people in the house, in fact, Miss Wei has been helping my wife at the government office these days to deal with the plague matter, and now, because the plague has not yet recovered, the people of Taizhou Province still can’t live without Miss Wei, so she can’t go back with Young Master Wei yet.”

“Are you saying that my eldest sister is helping with the plague in the residence these days?” Wei Yi Chen looked surprised. ….

“Yes, the city plague related to the size of things are Miss Wei in the scheduling arrangements, now this plague can be controlled so quickly Miss Wei accounted for a lot of the credit.”

Listening to the words of the guards, Wei Yi Chen couldn’t help but be shocked.

He never thought that this was the reason for his eldest sister’s absence from home these few days! They’ve all misunderstood Big Sister!

Wei Yi Chen was still in shock, the guard continued: ”My lady also asked my little one to pass a message to young master Wei, I hope young master Wei doesn’t misunderstand, it was my lady’s negligence that she failed to notify the Wei family members in the past few days, and Miss Wei, she was so busy with her feet touching the ground that she didn’t even have much time to sleep, she really couldn’t care about these things, and it wasn’t her intention to not notify the Wei family members.”

“Today it is not convenient for my wife and Miss Wei to come out to see Young Master Wei, especially Miss Wei, who has been working with many patients in order to better organize her work these days.

She has been in contact with others and may be infected at any time. Therefore, she can no longer have contact with outsiders until the plague is completely eradicated.”

Wei Yi Chen was deeply touched and said, “I see, if it’s convenient, please also bring a message to my eldest sister, so that she can rest assured that all is well at home. Please also ask her to take care of herself and take care of herself.”

“I will bring Young Master Wei’s words to Madam.” The guard returned.

Wei Yi Chen went to see Yun after he returned to the school captain’s residence.

At this time, Wei Qingwan is also on Yun’s side, the New Year’s Eve these days Wei Ruo did not even return home, while Wei Qingwan is always accompanied by the side of the two daughters, which is even more of a difference between the two daughters for Yun.

“Did Ruo’er bring it back?” Seeing Wei Yi Chen, Yun asked busily.

“No.” Wei Yi Chen replied.

“What? She’s not coming back? Does she really think that Yuanfu is her home?” Yun’s anger immediately rose.

Wei Qingwan hurriedly spoke out to comfort, “Mother, don’t be angry, you’ve been overworked these days, your body is already in deficit, being angry is not good for you.”

Yun was annoyed, “If Ruo’er was half as sweet as you, I wouldn’t be angry!”

Wei Yichen explained, “Mother, Big Sister was not a guest at the Yuan family home, but was running around for the plague! Nowadays, all the arrangements regarding the plague in the city are under the responsibility of Big Sister, and in order to help everyone, Big Sister even inevitably came into contact with the sick, which is why she couldn’t go home!”

“What did you say?” Yun’s eyes widened in surprise.

Wei Qingwan, who was on the side, similarly revealed an unbelievable expression.

“The subordinate of the Yuan Mansion told me on behalf of Mrs. Yuan that since the 30th day of the Chinese New Year, the eldest sister has been busy with the plague, and she has hardly slept a few good sleeps in order to save the eldest sister.” Wei Yi Chen told the truth.

Yun still can’t believe it, “Are you sure you’re not mistaken? How could Ruo’er be working on such a big issue? The plague is a very big deal! She’s a girl ……”

“This is what Mrs. Yuan sent someone to pass on, and there can be no mistake. If it were not, how could Lady Yuan count such a great credit on the eldest sister?” Wei Yi Chen said.

Controlling the plague is no small matter, and even if it falls on Lord Yuan, it will be a great achievement.

Hearing this Yun’s anger just now dissipated and was replaced by worry: “Then will Ruo’er she be infected?”

“It’s possible, mother also knows that this is a plague, contact will be contagious, the eldest sister is risking her life.” Wei Yi Chen replied.

“This child, why did he run off to do such a dangerous thing without saying a word!” Yun was a bit angry, but more worried now.

Wei Qingwan froze for a while and then asked Wei Yi Chen, “But why hasn’t sister contacted us for so many days?” .
