Chapter 258: Chapter 240, Can’t Leave Anymore_1

Yan Residence.

Early in the morning, Zhou Jingwan rushed over with a letter in search of Daohua.

Daohua glanced at the envelope and immediately smiled, “This is a letter from your brother to your family, why are you showing it to me?”

Zhou Jingwan’s face, void of its usual smile, looked worried as she said, “My grandfather says you need to know what’s in this letter, just take a look for yourself.”

Seeing her distressed expression, Daohua felt a sudden pang of fear and quickly opened the letter. She turned pale when she read that her brother had been suffering from diarrhea for three days, but as she continued reading and saw that he had taken the medicine she prepared and was now recovering, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Daohua finished reading the letter, Zhou Jingwan grasped her hand, “Daohua, my grandfather, my father, and my mother — they want me to thank you. If it wasn’t for the medicine you prepared, my brother…”

Her voice started to waiver and tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke.

Daohua also felt a wave of fear, tried to steady her nerves, and quickly reassured, “Both our brothers are already better now, aren’t they? Good people have their own luck; nothing bad will happen.”

Zhou Jingwan nodded, but the worry did not fade from her face, “My grandfather says that their diarrhea might have been due to some contagion, maybe it’s the epidemic you spoke of. They are already preparing a ship, planning to send someone to bring my brother back.”

“I came to tell you about the letter and to ask if your family would like to bring your three brothers back with us?”

Daohua furrowed her brows in contemplation, looked at the letter in her hand, and said, “I can’t make this decision.”

Zhou Jingwan urged, “Then you must quickly tell your parents. This letter was written by a servant from my house. My brother didn’t want to worry the family, so he never intended to send any letters home. I guess it’s the same with your brothers.”

Daohua nodded, “Let me borrow this letter for a while,” she said as she headed to the main courtyard. After a few steps, she paused, “Will Xiao Yeyang and the others be coming back as well?”

Zhou Jingwan shook her head, “Governor Guo is in charge of the disaster relief. He surely won’t leave his nephew in a place of danger, will he?”

After thinking for a moment, Daohua asked, “When is your family’s ship planning to leave?”

Zhou Jingwan replied, “As soon as possible, either today or early tomorrow morning.”

Daohua nodded and took the letter to find Madam Li.

After Madam Li read the letter, her face turned white.

Daohua quickly comforted her, “Mother, my brother is already fine now. Please send someone to inform Father and have him come back to discuss whether we should bring my brothers home.”

Madam Li immediately said, “We must bring them back,” while instructing a maid to call for Yan Zhigao in the front yard.

During this time, Daohua took a moment to have Wang Manman summon Xiaoliu.

Daohua looked at Xiaoliu, “Have you collected the medicinal herbs I asked you to gather?”

Xiaoliu replied, “Some have been collected, but due to the short time, the amount is not substantial.”

Daohua said, “Well, whatever we have will have to be enough for now; send it to Xiao Yeyang first.” She didn’t know if Xiao Yeyang would be returning with them, but since Governor Guo was there, the herbs were certainly needed.

Xiaoliu immediately went to prepare.

At this moment, Yan Zhigao, having received the message, hurried back from the Prefectural Governor’s Office. After reading the letter, his expression became very grave.

As the head of the prefecture, he could deduce many things from the letter that those in the inner house could not.

An epidemic!

Jiguang was likely facing an epidemic!

Yan Zhigao decisively commanded, “Go, immediately bring them back.”

The eldest son bore the responsibility for the family’s prosperity, and over the years, he had placed great expectations on him. Now that he was grown up, he couldn’t let anything go wrong.

And there were Wenkai and Wentao, both good children.

…

Jiguang Province, Xingyun Prefecture.

Zhou Chengye, who had significantly improved after taking medicine, learned that the servant had written home without his permission. Instead of scolding him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Even without going out, he could feel the growing unease in the city. The number of people with diarrhea and abdominal pain was increasing, and it was said that people could be seen collapsed on the streets, most of them bleeding from the nose, covered in spots, and delirious.

It was obvious to anyone, these were symptoms of an epidemic.

“Let’s go find Wenxiu and the others.”

“I have something to tell you,” said Zhou Chengye, glancing around and noticing that Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were not present, “Where are Wentao and Wenkai?” _{frёeωebɳovel.com}
