Chapter 58: The Heavenly Flower

  Liu Rong arrived at Liu Wang's place and saw that a group of people had already gathered outside, including the elder lady, the second lady, and the third lady, all with solemn expressions, as if the shadow of death had already fallen upon them.

  These people are outside the Liu Guan's residence, but this distance is speechless, it can hardly be counted as being in the courtyard of Liu Guan's outer house, and it can even be said that it is farther.

  When those people saw Liu Rong coming, they immediately showed joy on their faces. Even the old lady who didn't get along with Liu Rong called out to Chen Mama, who was attending her, to welcome her upfront.

  Liu Rong nodded slightly towards Chen Mama and quickly followed her to Tai Fu Ren and Da Fu Ren: "Has a doctor been invited to see Liu Jie yet?"

  "No, the old lady won't allow it. She says that if this matter gets out, the Emperor will definitely order the manor to be sealed off. At that time, the Wen Ding Hou Manor..." Chen Mama didn't continue speaking, but her worried expression was evident on her face.

  However, this means that Liu Rong understands that once the plague is confirmed to have appeared in the Wen Dinghou Mansion, it must be prevented from spreading outward. But who knows what position the Wen Dinghou Mansion holds in the emperor's heart now? Maybe with a bad intention, the emperor will order that no one from the Wen Dinghou Mansion can leave the mansion and come into contact with outsiders again...

  Liu Rong's heart sank, if she were in modern times, she wouldn't be afraid of smallpox after getting vaccinated, but in ancient times, this body had never been inoculated with cowpox and would only become a carrier for the disease!

  When faced with a life-threatening illness, everyone is powerless, and all one can do is resign oneself to fate!

  Fortunately, smallpox is only transmitted through droplets and direct contact, so as long as these are avoided, infection is unlikely.

  Just thinking about Liu Guan's wet nurse and maid hiding this matter for so long, it is unknown how many people have come into contact with Liu Guan and the people around him, and how many people have been infected! Liu Rong's mood couldn't help but become even heavier.

  When Liu Rong arrived in front of Old Madam, she immediately stood up and asked Liu Rong: "Since you have a way to save the second madam who is having a difficult delivery. Now that disaster is about to befall our household, I suppose Dong'er has already told you the situation, do you still have a way to treat this heavenly flower?"

  Old Lady Tai looked at Liu Rong with an expectant face, hoping that she would nod like last time when she saved Er Nainai.

  But Lady Tai was destined to be disappointed, Liu Rong's heavy head shake, for a moment, all the people present fell silent, and Lady Tai even softened her body, and sat down on the Taishi chair with a thud: "Heaven wants to destroy my Wending Hou Mansion! This is heaven wanting to destroy my Wending Hou Mansion!"

  Suddenly he couldn't catch his breath.

  Madam Chen hastily stepped forward and patted the lady's back: "Lady, you must take care of your body. You are now the mainstay of the mansion, if you fall ill at this critical moment, what will the other ladies do?"

  "But... but the entire Wen Dinghou Fu will be finished. What's the use of my old bones being good or not?" Suddenly, the old lady seemed to remember something: "Quickly, quickly follow what I said before, now send Sixth Sister and her wet nurse and maids out of the manor, send them to our mountain villa outside the capital to be locked up. As long as they leave the manor, Wen Dinghou Fu will be fine!"

  At this point, Mrs. Tai seemed to come back to her senses: "Quickly, go and take care of this matter right now!"

  "Hold on!" Liu Rong quickly stepped forward to stop her as soon as she heard Madame's words.

  This will spread to the government, considering Liu Si's physical condition. How can it be endured? It would really be a dead end. Moreover, this will move Liu Si and cause contact. There is also a possibility of transmission outside, which will only lead to more severe consequences later on.

  To know that the smallpox virus has a strong vitality, it can resist drying and low temperature, and can survive for several months to one and a half years on scabs, dust, and clothing. When the time comes, as long as someone who doesn't understand or is unaware of the situation touches it, they will infect each other...

  "You're already out of options. Are you going to let Liu Si die with everyone else?" Liu Dainai couldn't help but speak up harshly, the fact that something like this had happened in the manor was a slap in the face for the mistress who insisted on letting a fallen daughter take charge and decide the outcome.

  At this moment, there is no way out. The old lady made a decision, and Liu Dainai was even more unhappy when Yulian continued to interrupt!

  Liu Rong, however, ignored Liu Dà Nǎi and instead turned to the Eldest Madam and the Old Madam, speaking loudly: "Great-Grandmother, Grandmother, please listen to me! At this time, hastily sending Sixth Sister away, what's the use? Later on, if she gets infected outside, and we come into contact with those who have been infected, won't we still get infected just the same?"

  "Let's not mention this for now. What if His Majesty finds out? Would our manor be better off being the source of the spread?"

  Everyone was silent involuntarily.

  "You say this won't work, that won't work, and there's no way to treat smallpox. What do you think we should do?" Liu Dainai quickly spoke up.

  Liu Rong's eyebrows furrowed tightly, and after a while, she looked at everyone and said: "The first thing we need to do now is to seal off Liu Si's residence."

  The madam frowned.

  "I'm saying to seal it off, not to seal this place dead, but to pull up a cloth, and not let those uninformed maids and servants get close to Liu Jie's quarters again. From now on, three meals will be placed by the servants at the cloth line, and someone from inside will come out to take them." Yu Rong said, pausing for a moment, adjusting her thoughts, looking at Madame Tian and opening her mouth: "Smallpox is not as terrible as we imagined, as long as we don't have direct contact with the patient, we won't be infected."

  This sentence came out, and Liu Rong himself was not very confident, but at this time he had to firmly establish everyone's confidence, otherwise it would be a real trouble!

  Liu Rong glanced at everyone looking at her, trying to remain calm and continued: "Later, everything in the house will be scalded with hot water and then dried in the sun before being reused. This way, even if Liu Jie really has an accident, it won't affect anyone else in the mansion."

  Liu Rong said, looking at the old lady: "Please let me go into Liu Si's room to see her condition! Only then can I think of a better way to deal with smallpox!"

  Liu Rong's hand trembled slightly, she had no way to cure smallpox, in her living era, because of the variolation, there was no such thing as smallpox, so there was no better way to prevent it. Now going in, just wanted to see how Liu Jie was doing, thinking of a way to make Liu Jie's body better, and also to fight against smallpox, maybe Liu Jie still had a glimmer of hope.

  Of course, it is also possible that the worst situation will happen, and she will be infected with this disease too!
