Chapter 137 What a Fool
Ranxiangju quickly delivered the processed spices, which were placed separately in sandalwood boxes.

This time, Qin Yuan did not make incense pills. Instead, he simply mixed the spices from Songlai together in proportion, added moxa, and ordered them to be lit at the gates of each courtyard and the main house.

Suddenly the whole house was filled with a strong and spicy aroma of medicine.

Old Madam Gu gave the order urgently, so Sixth Madam Gu hurriedly packed up all the cards and account books and asked Madam Zhao to send them to Wutong Garden.

Madam Zhao looked solemn and said, "Madam, if you hand it over, it may be difficult to get it back."

"I can't bear to leave either," Madam Gu Liu said distressedly, gritting her teeth, "If only I hadn't gone to Fengxuan Pavilion to talk, who would have known that the bitch would actually run away, bitch, what a bitch."

When it comes to this woman, Mrs. Gu Liu hates her very much.

My daughter has many chickenpox on her face and body, and she keeps crying.

It is not known whether other children have been infected.

Zhao Ma said, "Why don't you ask Aunt Huang to help take care of the two young ladies? When you go to the old lady, tell her that the situation is urgent and that the third lady is too young to take care of it. It would be better for you to still be in charge of the household affairs and let the third lady help..."

Madam Gu Liu quickly shook her head and said, "No, I'd better avoid the disaster. Now, I can't make any more mistakes."

If smallpox spreads in the city, it will be no small matter.

If she makes another mistake, she will really have no chance to take charge of the household affairs.

Madam Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Madam is right. It is not easy to manage the household affairs in the mansion. It is not easy for Madam San to handle it without making any mistakes. I will go to Wutong Garden now."

As soon as Nanny Zhao entered Wutong Garden, she saw that all the housekeepers in the mansion had gathered, waiting for Qin Yuan's instructions.

Hongye took the box and placed it on the table in the yard. She asked someone to heat up some wine to wipe the cards, and then placed the account book on the incense burner to fumigate it.

Zhao Ma's eyelids twitched and she asked, "Why is that?"

Hongye said, "This is what the Madam ordered. No matter which courtyard it is, it has to be done this way. Later, each courtyard will have to sprinkle lime to prevent the infection from spreading to the ceiling."

Nanny Zhao didn't dare to say anything anymore.

After all, right now, only someone in the Sixth Lady's yard is sick.

It's never too much to be on guard.

Aunt Zhao smiled and said, "That's good. If it gets out, it will be troublesome."

Hongye said, "Yes, they are searching everywhere now. If they find anything dirty, they must be burned immediately to prevent it from being spread outside."

Nanny Zhao hurried back to report to Madam Gu Liu.

Madam Gu Liu said, "It seems like she is going to do something big. Has Aunt Rong gone?"

Aunt Zhao said, "I didn't go."

Madam Gu Liu was a little confused and asked, "Does the old lady believe in her ability, or is it..."

Nanny Zhao didn't say anything.

Madam Gu Liu said after a while, "Go and encourage them to give their gifts."

Qin Yuan can't help them get rich, but she can.

She still has to hold on to people's hearts.

Madam Zhao also understood what she meant, so she said, "Don't worry, Madam."

Qin Yuan instructed all the housekeepers in Wutong Garden, each of them taking a task and leading the housekeepers in charge to wipe all the utensils in the mansion with mugwort water and wine, and sprinkle lime everywhere.

After the arrangements for the inner courtyard were completed, Gu Jinghui asked Butler Han and Butler Cao to follow suit and clean up the outer courtyard. After hearing this, Madam Gu said to Rong Mama, "Yuan'er is really capable. You see, she gets things done very quickly after giving her orders. Everything is well organized. I originally thought it was too early to hand over the entire Marquisate to her. But now I feel that she can probably manage two Marquisate's mansions."

Rong Mama said, "Madam is smart and capable. All the housekeepers originally assigned by the Sixth Madam admire her very much. After the needlework room helped Madam Li to take charge, the rest of the people dared not disobey her."

This move of killing the chicken to scare the monkey was so impressive that even Madam Rong felt it was amazing.

Madam Gu praised: "What's rare is that Madam Lu didn't make trouble, which shows that Yuan'er is not only smart, but also has skills."

Aunt Rong looked at the old lady's face and said, "This time, the Sixth Lady will take care of the children, and Madam will take care of the household affairs. I'm afraid the results will be known soon."

What this means is, at that time, will the household finances still be handed over to Madam Gu Liu to manage?
If you don't handle it well, you will probably feel resentful.

Madam Gu sighed, "Sixth Elder's wife is good in every way, except that she is too selfish and narrow-minded. I originally thought that Madam Zhao and her were good friends, and that she could help Madam Zhao feel better, but it turned out like this."

No one knew what they said, but Madam Zhao actually went out of her way to harm the sixth brother's child.

Aunt Rong understood.

Old Madam Gu is resentful towards Sixth Madam Gu.

Rong Madam said, "Mrs. Zhao's background is unknown, and she did such a thing. She is not a good person. If Madam hadn't mentioned reporting to the police, given the Marquis' temper, he would have suppressed the matter for the sake of the two children, and it would inevitably become a disaster in the future."

Madam Gu pondered for a while and said, "You are right. If we suppress it and don't make it public, and just focus on finding someone... Yuan'er is clear-headed and can distinguish between the good and the bad. She is indeed a blessing to Hui'er."

If the prosecutor had not conducted a thorough investigation today, I'm afraid we would not have discovered what the two women had done.

I didn't know that Madam Zhao was such a vicious person.

Madam Gu changed her mind and said, "But...what about these two children in the future?"

The parents' origins were unknown, but the Marquis was indeed indebted to the father, so the placement of these two children became a hot potato.

Aunt Rong said, "Why not listen to what Madam has to say?"

Madam Gu nodded and waved her hand, saying, "You are right. Since Yuan'er's knowledge is worse than ours, we should listen to Yuan'er. As for the Marquis... he is not as good as us in these matters. We can't worry about anything, so we don't think about it."

Aunt Rong couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm afraid the Marquis doesn't see it that way."

Gu Shiba took people to Hengjie Avenue to search for the old woman, but it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Gu Jinghui was busy all day and got nothing. He was too lazy to listen to Gu Jingjun's nagging, so he chased him away and strolled in the yard with his hands behind his back.

Where did Madam Zhao go?
How could she, a woman, run away from the Marquis's mansion?
As Lord Gu was thinking about this, he walked into Wutong Garden and saw people coming and going in the yard, not knowing what they were busy with.

"What is the lady busy with?"

The old woman guarding the gate immediately bowed and said, "My Lord, Madam is teaching the maids to identify medicinal herbs. She said it's a recipe from Renhe Hall. After boiling it, use it to wash, it can prevent smallpox."

"Oh?"

Gu Jinghui raised his eyebrows when he heard this.

My little wife actually has such ability?

He strode in and saw Qin Yuan sitting in the yard. There was a straw mat not far away and an incense burner was lit next to it, emitting fragrant aroma.

As I got closer, I saw several medicinal herbs placed on the straw mat.

Hongyezheng put her hands on her hips and said, "Madam has mentioned these medicinal herbs three times and I have written them down. How come you still can't remember them? You are really idiots."

 There is only one chapter today. I have a lot of things to do. I will make up for it tomorrow. (._.) I'm sorry~
