"Madam, you are right. I will go and pour it right away." Mother Zhang sighed.

"When you go out, call Dongqing in so I can ask her something." Mrs. Wang waved her hand and felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained away.

She was really tired. Apart from her son, she had no one she could rely on. She had to take care of everything inside and outside. After Shenzhi got married, she really wanted to quit.

"Madam, you called me?" Dongqing asked respectfully in a low voice.

"An'er..." Madam Wang asked in a low voice, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Madam, I dare not tell a lie. Although Madam Zhou did not let me into the house, I heard Madam Zhou's anxious voice and it didn't sound fake. They also lit mugwort incense." Dong Qing lowered her eyes and whispered, "I heard the young master crying from inside. He was weak and sounded like a cat. I was panicked. Madam, please save them. The young master is the flesh and blood of the Marquis's mansion. I didn't expect the Marquis to be so heartless."

As Dongqing said this, he knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Madam, Madam, please save them. The Marquis said that the young master had smallpox, but I don't believe it. How could there be smallpox? If someone in the suburbs of Beijing was infected with smallpox and burned to death, it doesn't make sense that there would be no rumors in Beijing!"

"I didn't expect you to be such a kind person. Get up." Madam Wang nodded thoughtfully. She felt that what Dong Qing said made sense, and she felt much more at ease. "How about this, you go and ask the palace doctor first. Don't say it's too serious. Just let him take a look from a distance to see what's wrong with An'er."

"Yes, I'll go right away." Dongqing agreed and went out.

After preparing the chicken soup, Mother Zhang entered the house. Seeing Mrs. Wang walking around the house with a sullen face, she did not dare to speak and just stood quietly by.

"How about this, Yufen, I'm still a little worried. Why don't you come with me to Zhuxiang Garden to take a look. If something is really wrong, let's wait for the court doctor to take a look and then deal with everyone in the garden!" After a while, Mrs. Wang stopped and said.

"Madam, if the young master really has smallpox, what should we do if we go there and get infected?" Madam Zhang shook her head anxiously and said, "It's better for me to go there alone to take a look."

"It's okay. Our An'er is a lucky little boy. How could he get smallpox for no reason? What a joke." Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, "Besides, can you get smallpox just by looking at it from a distance through the window? No way."

"Then you should cover your head and face just in case. This disease is very dangerous."

As Mother Zhang spoke, she took out a cotton towel and a Mi Li and helped Mrs. Wang put them on.

The two of them prepared and went to Zhuxiang Garden.

In the side room of Zhuxiang Garden, Chanyi was holding An'er and humming softly. The baby in her arms had fallen asleep after eating.

The little baby's face and hands were covered with red dots, which looked shocking.

Chan Yi calmly took the porcelain bottle, poured out some medicine from it, mixed it with some burnt incense ash, and applied it on her face.

"Chan Yi, this...will they believe it?" Mother Zhou asked anxiously.

"Mom, I don't know about others, but the Marquis must believe it. He wishes we would die immediately." Chan Yi sneered in her heart. No matter what, she would not drink the tonic soup they sent her casually. She didn't dare to take the risk.

Although Madam Wang said that she would replace the poison, how could Chan Yi easily believe it, especially what if Pei Yunshan and the others secretly tampered with it? For An'er's sake, she had tested her diet over and over again in the past two days, fearing that there would be any mistakes.

It just so happened that An'er was bitten by a poisonous mosquito on her face last night, and a big red swelling appeared. She suddenly had an idea and came up with it.

Since Mother Zhou was the one who took personal care of them and their son, Chan Yi did not hide anything from her and told her the truth.

After hearing this, Mother Zhou readily agreed. She also knew that the Marquis and Aunt Liu would not let them go easily after the Second Young Master's eyes were blinded by poison.

As Chan Yi said, instead of waiting for others to take action, it is better to strike first.

However, this matter must be told to the lady in the end. Only with her cooperation can they leave the house smoothly.

"Chan Yi, what should we do next?" Mother Zhou said in a hoarse voice, feeling a little uneasy. "What if the court doctor comes to see and he finds out what's wrong? Wouldn't all our efforts be wasted?"

"Mom, don't worry. The Marquis thinks we have smallpox. Even if the court doctor knows it's not the case, he will pretend to be deaf and dumb and say it is the case. Besides, how can we see clearly if he doesn't go into the room? As long as he speaks vaguely, it will be fine. Even if it is investigated later, it will not be his business." Chan Yi put An'er in the cradle and fanned him.

The room was dark. Mother Zhou couldn't help but smile when she saw the red spots on Chanyi's face.

"Mom, we won't drag you down. I will make it clear to Madam. You are the prince's wet nurse. As long as you are safe and sound, the Marquis and the others can't do anything to you." Chan Yi said softly.

"No, no, no, Chanyi, I want to be with you and An'er." Mother Zhou said anxiously, "I am an old lonely woman with no relatives in this world, so please let me go with you. I will help take care of An'er in the future, so you can feel more at ease. Besides, if I stay in the Marquis' Mansion, I am afraid I will not be able to resist when the prince comes back and interrogates me..."

Chan Yi looked at her in silence. What Mother Zhou said was true. She was also afraid that Pei Jin would come back and extract information about himself from her in a few words and then take her back. No... absolutely not. She didn't want to be locked up in this huge cage for the rest of her life where anyone could step on her.

"Chan Yi, please believe me. I won't say anything. I just ask you to let me be with you." Mother Zhou pleaded in a low voice, "Over the past year or so, I've gotten used to following you. I also know that you're not an ordinary girl..."

"Mother Zhou..." Chan Yi nodded with tears in her eyes, "Don't worry, we will live a good life after we settle down."

"Chan Yi, I'm glad that you trust me." Mother Zhou said excitedly, holding her hand.

On the way to Zhuxiang Garden.

Madam Wang whispered, "There are Shen Zhi's secret guards in the garden, so be careful with your words."

"Madam, I understand." Madam Zhang nodded and agreed, "Madam, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Go ahead." Mrs. Wang looked up at her.

"It doesn't matter whether the young master has smallpox or not. You might as well take this opportunity to send Sister Zhou and the mother and son out of the mansion, secretly find a secluded farm, and say that you have dealt with them. Maybe they can still survive. Otherwise, if you let them live in the mansion, I'm afraid that the Marquis and Concubine Liu..." Mother Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "I'm not saying that. After all, the young master is the prince's flesh and blood, Miss Chanyi is also a kind person, and Sister Zhou is an honest person."

Thank you all for giving Mumu five-star praise and rewarding support. The rating of the book has increased by 0.3 points in the past two days, and you have contributed to it. Mumu is a part-time writer and is very busy at work on weekdays. I only insist on writing here because I like it. To be honest, I have only been writing for more than a year, and the book is really not very good. Moreover, these small amounts of money do not make much money, but affect my normal rest. I am also ridiculed by some readers who do not like books, so I am still under pressure. Here, Mumu also asks friends to be more tolerant and supportive, and I will continue to work hard!
