A life of ups and downs is pure joy

A week passed and Lingzhuyuan was still closed. The good news was that although everyone's physique was different, there were basically methods for diagnosis. The bad news was that another kitchen girl named Persimmon also passed away. She was only 11 years old, which made Mother Huang very upset. The little girl came with her from the farm. She was also smart and loved to watch Hongqi play with dual swords all day long.

Xiao Yu left the rest of the matters to Lin Mo, and took the doctor from Lu Shen Tang to West Street Alley to act as a living Bodhisattva. Lin Ancai said that West Street Alley was now littered with corpses, and Chen Jingshu's father, Chen Zhifu, was also in dire straits every day. When he saw Lu Shen Tang and Xiao Yu coming, he felt like a god descending to earth, and instantly felt that there was hope in the world.

After a few days, everyone in Lingzhu Garden had almost recovered, and the rest could recover by taking the prescribed medicine. To be on the safe side, Lin Qinghuan still lived in Zelan Garden. Lin Mo asked the old lady for permission to go to West Street to rescue people, but the old lady strongly opposed it, "I can open a porridge shop and pay for the purchase of herbs, but Mo'er, you can't go."

"Sister Mo, you have done everything you can and saved several lives in Lingzhuyuan. There are doctors from Lushen Hall in West Street Alley. We can help them in another way, which is to provide them with the herbs they need." Lin Qinghuan said comfortingly to the lost Lin Mo.

"I'm a doctor, but I can't stand up when the people need me most. I feel sorry for what my master taught me." Lin Mo choked up, "Huan'er, you don't know how miserable the West Street Alley is right now. There are wailings everywhere, and once happy families are torn apart."

"Then you should study medical books hard and research the corresponding prescriptions and how to treat them. I will ask Hong Qi to help you pass the message. Sister Mo, you are best at recipes." She always felt that Lin Mo had a high talent for medicine, especially in researching medicinal and food supplements, which were much easier to swallow than thick and bitter soups.

"Well, this is the only way now." Lin Mo stared blankly into the distance in silence.

"I have always been wondering how Qingru could have contracted the epidemic disease." Lin Qinghuan murmured to himself.

"Huan'er, you said that you ate and drank with Ru'er that afternoon, and did the food all come from the small kitchen?" Lin Mo asked.

"Mother Huang asked Shizi to bring dinner over, the tea was brewed by Chuxia, and there were cakes and fruits... It seemed like Qingru brought the big food box over." Lin Qinghuan calmed down and thought for a while, "I vaguely remember her saying that An Cai had someone send it over. Is there something wrong here?" She looked up at Lin Mo and asked.

"Where is the food box? Where are the plates and dishes for snacks?" Lin Mo asked Lin Qinghuan.

"The lunch box is still in my room. I put the snacks in it in there before I finished them," she said.

Lin Mo hurriedly stood up, turned around and called Chu Xia, "Come on, go with me to look for it."

Lin Qinghuan looked at their departing backs and felt very flustered. Ru'er said that An Cai had someone send it. Could there be something wrong with this food box?

After waiting for a long time, Lin Mo and Chu Xia returned to Zelan Garden with heavy faces. Seeing this, Lin Qinghuan asked, "Sister Mo, how is it?"

"Huan'er, there is something wrong with the dishes in the lunch box. I asked Ru'er, and she said that she had never seen the girl who delivered the lunch box before. She only heard that it was An Cai who delivered it, so she kept it." Lin Mo said, looking at Lin Qinghuan worriedly.

"Don't panic, Hongqi, go to Jingde Hall and call An Cai over to ask him and you'll know." Lin Qinghuan shouted into the yard.

"I've been busy with the homework assigned by the teacher recently, and I haven't gone to Dongjiexiang to buy cakes for you for a long time." Lin An sat down and looked at them both strangely.

The two girls looked at each other and felt extremely cold in their hearts.

"Who is this villain who killed Aunt Xue and now wants to harm Ru'er?" Lin Qinghuan clutched the handkerchief tightly in anger and kept shaking with anger.

Lin Mo had been looking at her, and suddenly said, "Huan'er, are you going to harm Qingru or you?"

“…Sister Mo.” Lin Qinghuan looked at her anxiously.

"Hold still for now, Chuxia, pay attention to anyone who deliberately contacts Zelanyuan. I'll think about what to do." Lin Mo paced back and forth, and Lin Qinghuan and Chuxia kept looking at her.

"Sister Mo, should I pretend to be sick to expose the person in the dark, at least there will be some movement." Lin Qinghuan said after careful consideration.

"Let me think about it..." Lin Mo thought for a moment, then said, "Huan'er, fortunately the situation in Zelan Garden has not been spread out yet. Now only you, Chuxia and Hongqi know about your pretending to be sick. Chuxia, you go back in a panic and tell Mother Huang that Huan'er has symptoms of epidemic. Remember to make sure everyone thinks this is true." Lin Mo looked at Chuxia apologetically. After all, this matter had to be kept secret from Mother Huang.

"Second Miss, I understand. Should we let everyone in the mansion know that you have also been infected?" Chu Xia asked Lin Mo.

"Yes, the whole house knows about it, and we can't reveal any information about Qinghuan's situation to the outside world. There will always be people who can't help but come to inquire about it." Lin Mo said in a low voice.

"Sister Mo, Qingyi?" Lin Qinghuan looked at her and asked.

"What do you think?" Lin Mo said in embarrassment.

"Keep it a secret!"

In the afternoon, at the gate of Zelan Garden, Lin Qingyi was making a fuss to get in.

"I've had the plague before, so I'm not afraid of being infected. Let me go in and see how Qinghuan is doing." Chuxia and Shizhu stopped Lin Qingyi who was about to go in.

"Qingyi, Huan'er's disease is not just an epidemic, it's also highly contagious. Now, no one in the mansion is allowed to enter except me and Hongqi." Lin Mo said firmly, turned around and closed the door of Zelan Garden.

In Anxinzhai, the choking pig's hoof and Atractylodes lancea were still burning in the yard.

"Grandma, I don't know how Qinghuan is doing now. I only heard from my second sister that it is very serious. I am still not allowed to go in." Lin Qingyi said anxiously, jumping on the spot.

"It's been seven or eight days since Ru'er was infected. Why hasn't Huan'er shown any improvement?" Cheng Ping asked with a serious expression, holding her crutches.

"Sister Mo said Qinghuan's slow reaction was due to the medication she had taken before, which delayed the outbreak of the epidemic. It's so frustrating." Lin Qingyi was so anxious that she was about to cry.

"Mother, it's not that I doubt the second young lady's medical skills. Now all the doctors in Lushen Hall and Luofeng City have gone to West Street Alley. Huan'er's illness has occurred at such an inopportune time. I'm afraid the consequences will be disastrous." Chang Xinrui, who was sitting next to her, frowned and said with concern. Several concubines also looked at each other and dared not speak.

"Aunt Chang, what do you mean? What do you mean by the consequences are unimaginable? Qinghuan will be fine." Lin Qingyi asked angrily with a gloomy face.

"Third Miss, you don't have to misinterpret my meaning. Now everyone is hoping that the epidemic will end soon and Qinghuan can get better quickly. It would be too difficult for Second Miss to rely on her alone. My eldest daughter, Third Lady, also knows a little about medicine, so you can ask her to help." Chang Xinrui patiently explained to Lin Qingyi.

"Really?" Lin Qingyi asked Chang Xinrui with a happy expression.

"Then let this girl go." The old lady stood up and waved her hand.

Chang Xinrui glanced at Feng Sanniang and nodded. Lin Qingyi led the way in front and rushed to Zelan Garden.

The gate of Zelan Garden was closed. Chuxia and Shizhu took the lunch brought by Huang Mama and placed it at the gate of the courtyard. They knocked on the wooden door and shouted, "Sister Hongqi, the food is already at the gate of the courtyard. Please wait on the two girls for lunch."

"Do we have to put the food at the door? How serious is Qinghuan's condition?" Lin Qingyi arrived just in time to see this scene and said anxiously.

"Fourth Miss, why are you here again?" Chu Xia looked at Lin Qingyi helplessly and said.

"I brought Feng Sanniang who knows medicine. Second sister, please open the door quickly. I have found someone to help you." Lin Qingyi stepped forward and knocked on the door hard.

"Huan'er, after you drink this bowl of medicine you will have a fever, feel sleepy, and get a rash on your face. But don't worry, your senior brother has a prescription to treat you. Just sleep well and leave everything to me." After Lin Mo finished speaking, Lin Qinghuan drank the medicine in her hand and unknowingly began to become confused and dazed, as if in a dream.

Lin Mo looked at Lin Qinghuan who was already asleep on the bed. His senior brother said that after taking this prescription, a rash would appear in half an incense stick of time. Now it was time to reel in the thread.

Lin Mo slowly opened the gate of Lanze Garden. Lin Qingyi wanted to rush in the moment she saw him, but Lin Mo reached out to stop her and handed her a cloth to cover her face. He glanced at Feng Sanniang again and asked, "Is this the female doctor you mentioned?"

"Yes, Sister Mo, her name is Feng Sanniang. She is the eldest maid of Aunt Chang and knows a little about medicine." Lin Qingyi said. Feng Sanniang took the face covering and saluted to Lin Mo.

"Qinghuan is feeling a little better now. I'll take you to see her. There's something strange about Huan'er's epidemic this time. Fourth sister, you mustn't stand too close." Lin Mo warned.

"I'll just take a look and will definitely not disturb your treatment. I won't say a word." Lin Qingyi promised.

When Lin Mo led them into the house, it was almost half an incense stick of time before the time to take the medicine. Lin Mo's palms were sweaty with nervousness. Although his senior brother was an excellent doctor, it was still very frightening to think about this trick before it worked.

"Second sister, Huan'er's face seems to have become thinner. Hey, what's on her face?" Lin Qingyi stood by the bed and looked at the sleeping Lin Qinghuan, and suddenly she noticed something was wrong.

Lin Mo rushed over and touched Lin Qinghuan's forehead with his hand, saying in fear, "Why is your fever starting again? Why is there a rash? Your pulse was clearly calmer just now, and your forehead wasn't this hot."

"What's going on, second sister?" Lin Qingyi was so panicked that she was about to cry out loud. She quickly pushed Feng Sanniang next to her to the bedside.

"Oh no, Fifth Miss, this looks more like smallpox." Feng Sanniang glanced at Lin Qinghuan and said in surprise

"How could this happen, Qinghuan, Qinghuan, wake up." Lin Mo anxiously called Lin Qinghuan's name softly, and Lin Qingyi cried anxiously.

Feng Sanniang glanced at Lin Qinghuan and knew what was going on.

In Jialan Garden, Chang Xinrui dismissed everyone and looked at Feng Sanniang and said, "Are you sure?"

"It is certain that the Fifth Miss is weak. She never expected that the epidemic disease would trigger smallpox. Now her life is hanging by a thread." Feng Sanniang said in a low voice.

"Hmph, this sickly guy has lived too long. If he wants to block my Wan'er's way, forget it." Chang Xinrui sneered, her face full of murderous intent.

"Fifth Miss can no longer make decisions now." Feng Sanniang said with a smile.

"If my husband hadn't mentioned it accidentally, I wouldn't have had to do anything to that sickly girl. She only has herself to blame." Chang Xinrui recalled that day when Lin Muchang was drunk and said that he originally wanted to marry Wan'er to Ning Junze, but after thinking about it, he still felt that Lin Qinghuan was more suitable. After all, she had watched Ning Junze grow up. The child had a kind temper, and whether he liked Huan'er or not, he would definitely treat her well. Wan'er was healthy and so outstanding, he would find another good partner.

"My lady, don't be angry. No one can stop our girl's blessing." Feng Sanniang said.

Lin Mo helped the weak Lin Qinghuan up, "Huan'er, you need to take this medicine for a few more days, then you can go back to sleep."

"Well, it's okay, Sister Mo, is the fish hooked?" she asked weakly.

"She took the bait. As I expected, Chang Xinrui lost her patience. The last thing she should have done was to reveal that Feng Sanniang knew medical skills." Lin Mo said.

"Why did she want to harm me? Did she also harm Aunt Xue?" She really didn't understand why Chang Xinrui hated her so much.

"Huan'er, we now know who the enemy of the dark department is. You just have to endure a few more days of suffering, drink the medicine and have a good sleep." Lin Mo helped Lin Qinghuan drink the fake epidemic medicine prescription prescribed by Xiao Yu.

The epidemic in West Street Alley is still very serious, but fortunately it was blocked in time. Now most of the doctors in Luofeng City are doing good deeds here. It is gratifying that fewer and fewer people die every day, which shows that Xiao Yu's prescription is effective.

At the Lin Mansion in Kyoto, Lin Yuzhi received a letter from the mansion saying that Lin Qingru and Lin Qinghuan had both been infected with an epidemic. Lin Yuzhi was so anxious that he was like an ant on the hot pan.

"Now I can't go back even if I want to, but how can I let go of Qinghuan and Qingru?" Lin Yuzhi said helplessly.

"Yuzhi, I'm going to Luofeng City." Ning Junze said.

"Jun Ze, please take good care of Qinghuan for me, and those medicinal herbs. Luofeng City must be in urgent need of them now." Lin Yuzhi bought a large amount of medicinal herbs and originally planned to set off back to Luofeng immediately, but he didn't expect that Li Duo would get into trouble again.

"Yuzhi, don't worry. I'm also worried about Qinghuan and Qingru. I'll take Imperial Physician Chen with me." Ning Junze said and got up to return to the palace.

In Zelan Garden, Lin Qingyi had a sad face and was fanning the medicine pot that Lin Mo had ordered to be boiled in the yard.

"Qinghuan, oh Qinghuan, why do you have such a miserable life? You have been hit by all kinds of diseases. Father and mother are not at home, and that Doctor Xiao is also in West Street Alley. How can I save you?" Lin Qingyi talked to herself and couldn't help crying.

Hong Qi was sitting on the roof. From a distance, she saw Feng Sanniang's figure appear again in the corridors of Lingzhu Garden and Zelan Garden. She quickly jumped down and walked to Lin Mo to report.

In Lingzhu Garden, Lin Qingru has started to eat on her own again, and her complexion is much rosier than before. It seems that this little girl has finally made it.
