Chapter 998: 150 Trashy girl, trashy boy court death_3 Chapter 998: 150 Trashy girl, trashy boy court death_3 Lady Jin had plenty of Silver, and soon, Li Chengzhi was beaten to death by other prisoners in the jail due to his involvent in conflicts among the inmates.
From that mont on, Li Cheng’an finally beca Li Chang’s only legitimate son, and of course, the only heir as well.
With Li Chengzhi’s matter finally settled, just as Lady Jin was comfortably half-reclining on a soft couch, closing her eyes to rest, Head Maid Ziyu rushed in with a look of panic.
“Madam, sothing terrible has happened!
Maternal Aunt Liu has contracted smallpox!”
Lady Jin’s eyes snapped open, and she sat upright: “What?
Smallpox?”
Smallpox was contagious, and what was more fatal was that once you contracted the disease, it was almost a death sentence, with virtually no chance of cure.
No wonder Ziyu was so panicked.
Lady Jin frowned, her gaze sharp: “Quickly, seal off Maternal Aunt Liu’s courtyard, and quarantine all the maids and old won who serve her.
Go to Shande Hall and summon Doctor Wang to co over, ask him to prescribe so dicine.
Everyone in the residence needs to take precautions.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Ziyu had just turned to leave when Lady Jin called her back: “Wait, especially the young master.
Check everyone who serves him closely.
Anyone even slightly unwell must be locked up.
We absolutely cannot let Anan catch this dreadful disease!”
“Yes.” Ziyu bit her lip as she agreed and quickly arranged for everything Lady Jin had ordered.
Upon returning, her face seed a bit more relieved: “Madam, I have already inquired.
Maternal Aunt Liu has not left her quarters for almost half a month, which probably ans the smallpox has been at work.
It seems that her symptoms appeared today, and the servants discovered and reported them to us.
Madam, rest assured, I suppose that apart from those in her courtyard, no one else should be affected.”
“Better safe than sorry!” Lady Jin slapped the armrest of the couch; they had done everything that should be done, and the rest was now up to fate.
Settling down slightly, Lady Jin suddenly sighed, “Maternal Aunt Liu is a pitiable person.
Not only was she sold to the brothel, but she was also hard by that wretched Lin Siyu, causing a miscarriage.
And now she has contracted this kind of disease, alas!”
Ziyu furrowed her brows and stepped closer, whispering softly, “Madam, smallpox spreads fiercely, and her close maid Ying Tao has recently been coughing.
Madam, for the sake of so many people in our residence, you can’t be compassionate this ti.
Both mistress and servant need to be sent out quickly!”
Lady Jin naturally knew she could not keep the two in the residence any longer.
Those in the city who caught highly infectious diseases were usually sent to an isolated village outside of town for ‘treatnt’.
‘Treatnt’, in this case, ant there was no doctor, and even food and drink were hard to co by.
Since most of the people sent there were too ill to walk, there were no guards left there either.
In plain terms, they were sent there to wait for death.
Lady Jin steeled her heart, closed her eyes, and said with a heavy heart, “When Maternal Aunt Liu first entered the residence, I found her disagreeable.
Who would have thought she would end up being the most obedient among the concubines.
Let it be.
Find a horse-drawn carriage outside and send them both out quickly.
In consideration of her past respect for , prepare so dry food for them.”
“What about the lord?”
Ziyu’s concern was not unfounded.
Though Mrs.
Liu was out of favor, she was still Li Chang’s Little Concubine.
If she were sent away without cause, he would definitely cause trouble for Lady Jin upon his return.
Lady Jin snorted coldly, “Him?
Humph, he must be grieving the loss of his son at this ti.
What does he care about the life or death of a fallen concubine?
There’s no need to notify him.
Besides, the entire household knows about the illness of Mrs.
Liu and her servant.
Even if he causes trouble, it would be to no avail!
Go on, find a decent carriage for Maternal Aunt Liu.”
Ziyu nodded, not forgetting to flatter, “Madam’s compassion is great.
I believe Maternal Aunt Liu will be grateful to you.”
“Go on,” Lady Jin shook her head and waved her hand, “Don’t forget to use the back door.”
Ziyu complied and imdiately went to make arrangents.
Before long, Ziyu hurried back again.
Lady Jin was puzzled until she heard Ziyu say with so difficulty: “Madam, Maternal Aunt Liu said, said she knows she doesn’t have long and insists on kowtowing to you to show gratitude.
I knew we couldn’t let her see you, so I lied that you were out praying for blessings.”
Lady Jin nodded, her anxiety subsiding.
She felt very sorry and sympathetic for Mrs.
Liu, but that did not an she could gamble with her own life.
She still had to wait for her son to grow up and marry.
She would not allow herself to be infected with smallpox by Mrs.
Liu.
