Chapter 16
Qin took all the servants with him when he left, but Huo Jiuge left Nanny Zhang alone.

"Mammy, do you remember what you said?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she had returned to the obedient and sensible Huo Jiuge. But for some reason, Mammy Zhang felt a cold current passing through her body. She was at a loss.

Grandma Zhang was speechless for a moment and couldn't speak for a long time.

It was Qiu Chan who was the first to break the silence, "I remember that grandma insisted that Dongmei and I had stolen things from the house, and even had to take off our clothes in public for inspection! If the lady hadn't stopped us in time, I'm afraid Dongmei and I would have Mei would have died of shame by now.”

Aunt Zhang knew that she would not be able to avoid the reckoning with Queen Qiu, so she could only apologize to them with a smile: "I'm sorry for Miss Qiuchan and Miss Dongmei. I have offended you. I am here to apologize to you. I hope You can be an adult and ignore the faults of the villain."

Nanny Zhang is an old lady in the Rongguo Duke's mansion. No matter when the Shen family was in charge or the Qin family is now in charge, she relied on her ability to flatter and flatter the family. Miss, who wouldn’t respectfully say hello to Mommy when they see her?Now she never expected that the two girls would fall into trouble. This shame would be enough for her to remember for a long time.

Seeing that her attitude was quite upright, Huo Jiuge nodded and let her go back. However, the moment she turned around, her cold voice suddenly sounded again: "Oh, don't forget, remember to go to the accountant and tell him, You have to deduct three months’ wages as compensation for my two maids.”

Grandma Zhang paused for a moment, then nodded heavily and replied: "I understand."

After saying this, she quickly left this place as if fleeing.

Qiu Chan and Dong Mei looked at her fleeing back and were overjoyed. If they hadn't watched, they would have clapped their hands and applauded.

Who makes Granny Zhang like to bully them in normal times? Now that she has suffered a loss from them, she can only say that she is unhappy with her retribution.

"Don't be stunned." Huo Jiuge turned to them and ordered: "Hurry and get your compensation from Mr. Accountant. If you go late, you may worry that they will not acknowledge the account."

"Yeah!" Qiu Chan and Dong Mei replied in unison.

The scene ended with Huo Jiuge's victory.

On the way back, Dongmei couldn't help but ask: "Miss, how did you know that Mrs. Qin sent someone to follow us?"

"Didn't you notice that no matter what happened, Mrs. Qin always arrived in time?" Huo Jiuge raised the corners of his mouth: "Even if it's not her, it's the mothers around her. Do you really just think that all this is happening?" Is it all a coincidence?"

As soon as these words came out, Qiu Chan and Dong Mei understood instantly. At first, they thought that Qin had the ability to predict the future, because she had already placed spies around them.

From the first time they went to the ancestral hall to meet Huo Jiuge, they had been exposed under her nose.

After waiting for Qiu Chan and Dong Mei to return that time, Huo Jiuge found a series of footprints of different shades in the snow. Judging from this, she knew that they must be being followed.

That's why the next time, they deliberately asked them to secretly put the gold hairpin into their arms, pretending to steal something, and then swap the bags with paper and pen when they weren't paying attention.

If Qin hadn't deliberately caused trouble for him, today's farce wouldn't have happened.

Maybe God couldn't stand it anymore, so he let the wild cat appear out of nowhere and jump onto the shrine, causing this commotion.

The Qin family had just experienced the farce at the ancestral hall, and before they could recover, they were told that their youngest son had contracted the epidemic, and it was raining all night.

She immediately rushed to Huo Changbai's residence, but was stopped outside the door. "Bold!" The maid next to Qin shouted loudly at the servant who stopped them, "Are you blind? You even dare to stop the lady's driving. Are you willing to die?"

In the past, Mrs. Qin would have arrested the boy who stopped the driver and held him accountable. However, at this time, she was focused on Huo Changbai, who was infected with the epidemic, and had no intention of holding others accountable for the time being.

But the young man was also following orders. He said with a troubled face: "It was the master who asked us to guard the young master's yard in order to prevent anyone from entering, so as not to be infected with the epidemic!"

Just when Qin was blocked from entering, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and Huo Ren walked out with a sad look on his face.

Seeing her husband walking out, Qin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She quickly stepped forward to hold Huo Ren's hand and asked, "How is Changbai now?"

It was okay if she didn't say this, but when she did, Huo Ren became even more upset. He threw away his hand with disgust on his face, then pointed at Qin and cursed: "You still have the nerve to ask? How did you become a mother? ? Why did Changbai come into contact with the clothes of people affected by the epidemic?"

He asked several questions in a row, which made Qin dizzy, and it took her a long time to react.

Mrs. Qin was already frightened because of the fire in the ancestral hall, and now she was scolded by Huo Ren so fiercely that she collapsed on the ground as if her soul had been sucked out.

Her mind was filled with the questions Huo Ren asked her just now.

Why?Why did Changbai become infected with the plague?She obviously ordered those dirty clothes to be placed in the ancestral hall, but why didn't Huo Jiuge do anything?And his son contracted the disease?
All this must be the fault of that bitch Huo Jiuge!
When Mrs. Qin thought of this, her eyes immediately became fierce. Even if her nails were embedded in her palms and even blood flowed out, she didn't feel any pain. She just wanted to let Huo Jiuge die!

The people in Xiangheyuan here didn't know what was going on. Under the candlelight, the girl was holding a medical book in her hand, leaning on the couch and slowly reading it. Suddenly she sneezed heavily for no apparent reason.

Seeing this, Qiu Chan quickly put the warm cloak on her body, and then reminded her: "Miss, the night is getting late, it's better to go to bed early and take care of yourself."

Huo Jiuge put down the medical book and asked, "What's the situation there?"

"Back to Miss, the young master has contracted the epidemic and has been taken to a shop in the suburbs of Beijing. The master has also ordered the entire courtyard to be sealed. No one can move around unless there is something urgent." Dongmei told the situation she had just found out. They all said it in detail.

"A shop in the suburbs of Beijing? Where is this place?" Huo Jiuge frowned.

"That place was specially designated by the emperor's order so that people infected with the plague could be treated intensively." Qiu Chan replied.

"And I heard that more and more people are contracting this disease now. Even the imperial doctors in the palace are helpless. The emperor has ordered someone to paste the imperial list, saying that anyone who can cure this disease will be rewarded with thousands of gold ingots. .”

"But the imperial list has been stuck for several days, and still no one can take it off."

"Even the doctors in the palace can't cure the disease. Who among the people can cure it?"

"That's it."

Qiu Chan and Dong Mei started chatting with each other, while Huo Jiuge fell into deep thought while listening to their words.
