After I disguised myself as a man, I became everyone's white moonlight
Chapter 44: No Heart at All
Yun's analysis made Chu Wenbai's thoughts suddenly clear. He didn't put on any airs like a marquis outside at all, and hurried forward to grind ink for Yun. "As expected of Madam, you are really smart and guessed what father was thinking at once."
Yun was not surprised at her husband's compliment.
In fact, apart from not wanting the title to fall into the hands of others and be taken advantage of by his uncles because he only had a daughter, he took the risk of letting his daughter pretend to be a boy.
At other times, her husband...his IQ has never been very high. If it weren't for her father-in-law watching behind her, Yun wouldn't be surprised at all if her husband was stripped of his official position one day.
Talent, some, but not much.
I don't have any good intentions...not even one.
If it weren't for the fact that there was nothing worth stealing in their mansion, she would be very worried that with her husband's temper, he might be cheated out of all his property at any time.
"My father-in-law may have considered what he meant this time, but I think it is more likely related to the letter Jiang'er sent back."
Yun glanced at her personal maid beside her. The maid understood what was going on and immediately left the room. She drove all the maids and servants guarding the door to the outer courtyard, and she stood alone guarding the gate.
"My husband, today's incident is also a great warning to us. Qi Bai will be coming of age in three years. Now the royal family may not be the only one watching Qi Bai. However, due to the status of the Ninth Princess, many people dare not act openly."
"There must be many people who are hinting at you privately. Don't forget Qi Bai's identity. Whether you marry her a fake wife or think of other ways, you must not agree to anyone at this time."
Because her father-in-law didn't care about the affairs of the rear house and her husband had a lazy mentality, Yun was forced to learn a lot.
Chu Wenbai's personality is not a bad thing under normal circumstances. A husband who will not interfere in the affairs of the house can give her the greatest degree of freedom. This is also where the trouble lies.
She is too simple-minded, and her thoughts and methods are not as good as her father-in-law's, so it is inevitable that she will be easily tricked and schemed against.
All in all, there is no perfect person in this world and everyone has shortcomings.
Yun is already very satisfied with his current life; the only thing he is worried about is Qi Bai's situation in Yunzhou.
She wrote two letters respectively. As her father resigned from his official position, the Yun family moved to Changzhou. Her third sister, also her biological sister from the same mother, married a military officer who had been stationed in the frontier before and went to Beijing to report on her work at the beginning of this year.
She had always wanted to bring her two nieces over to live with her for a while, but for various reasons, she had not written to them yet.
Now my wish has finally been fulfilled. The two letters were sent to different places, and my two nieces in the capital city can receive them in less than half a day.
The most troublesome thing is Qingyin. She is in weak health and is far away in Changzhou. Even if Yun writes a letter to her, she may not get the consent of her father and brother.
Yun told her husband about her worries, but Chu Wenbai didn't think it was a big deal. If things really didn't work out, he still had his two nieces.
As for the third sister, Yun could go to her house in person and explain to her that her help was needed in this matter.
This matter was rather private, so it was not appropriate to write too explicitly in the letter. In the letter sent to Changzhou, Yun only wrote that he had not seen Qingyin for a long time, and knowing that she was not feeling well, he wanted to take her to stay for a while and ask a famous doctor in Beijing to treat her.
*
Changzhou received a letter from Beijing two days later. Old Master Yun and the current head of the Yun family discussed it and they did not think about strengthening the relationship, but only took Qingyin's health into consideration.
Finally agreed.
The capital is under the feet of the emperor, and there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Changzhou is just an ordinary city. The doctors in the city are helpless against Yun Qingyin. Now this letter from the Yun family is a timely relief.
Even if the Yun family had not sent this letter, Mr. Yun would probably have brought his granddaughter to Beijing in person and hired a famous doctor to see her.
The head of the Yun family is Yun’s biological brother. Ten years ago, he was sent to Changzhou to serve as the prefect and stayed there for ten years.
The head of the Yun family could not leave, and his wife was too weak and frail, so he was worried about letting her and daughter go far away, so he could only stay in Changzhou.
This letter from his sister touched his heart.
Old Master Yun and the head of the Yun family discussed it and packed the luggage that day. They sent twenty guards, three maids, and a nanny to escort Yun Qingyin to the capital.
The mistress of the house couldn't leave, and the old man couldn't go live with his son-in-law, so Yun Qingyin had to go with the servants.
To ensure safety, the Yun family chose a water route for Yun Qingyin, which could take her directly to the capital in three days. It was much more comfortable than traveling by carriage, and there was less danger of banditry in remote areas.
Of course, Chu Xi still didn’t know about these things at this time.
The next day after the letter was sent, she went to the dyeing workshop with Prince Yan, Rong Qingzhu and Tang Yuhuai. New medicinal materials were delivered, and the plague in the city stopped spreading.
On that day, except for Prince Yan who was delayed by other things, the three of them stayed in the dyeing workshop to help.
Rong Qingzhu grew up in Beijing. Later he passed the imperial examination and won the title of Tanhua. He became an official smoothly and had a smooth journey. He had never seen such... hell on earth.
Everyone is struggling to stay alive, but not everyone can endure the torture of illness. Some people become terminally ill due to the lack of medicinal materials in the early stages, and even if there are enough medicinal materials later, their rotten internal organs cannot be saved.
It was the first time that Rong Qingzhu realized that there could be so many screams and cries right next to his ears.
When I saw the corpse burning for the first time in the afternoon, this depressed mood reached its climax and I almost couldn't help vomiting.
Chu Xi stood beside him, silently took out a handkerchief and handed it to him.
Rong Qingzhu took it, "Thank you."
He wiped his lips quietly, his eyes complicated and sad, "Is this the scene you have seen these days?"
Chu Xi said calmly, "This is only part of it. What you have seen are only the screams of pain from these patients. There are many other things you have never seen, such as the villagers whose houses were washed away by the flood and who have no rice left."
"No one listened to their cries. The officials in Yunzhou were like a cancer, sucking the blood of the villagers and the people until it grew bigger and bigger, and finally burst with a bang."
"In fact, I don't know how to be an official, let alone how to be a good official, but I know that the people who died in Yunzhou City this time were because of corrupt officials."
Tang Yuhuai's ability to accept things was better than Rong Qingzhu's, but he was still deeply moved when he saw such a scene.
This reminded him again of the four carts of medicinal herbs that were burned. In anger, he clenched his fist and smashed the wall hard. The force was so great that a dent was made in the wall.
Tang Yuhuai cursed, "Damn it."
Rong Qingzhu frowned slightly, his expression like a compassionate bodhisattva, "It is our fault. If we hadn't arrived late, perhaps fewer people would have died today."
