Reborn group favorite: The prince and I are enemies

The Xue family also has the surname Jiang.

This is a family with two surnames: Xue and Jiang. The dual surnames come from the fact that the ancestors of the Xue family were the sons-in-law of the Jiang family.

The surname has been passed down through three generations, so today’s Xue family has both the surname Xue and the surname Jiang. To be more precise, Dong Sui’s father-in-law is still surnamed Jiang and is known as Mr. Jiang, but Dong Sui’s evil-hearted husband has been given the surname Xue and is called Xue Second Master.

Over time, people got used to it, and the Jiang family of the past became the Xue family of today.

To show respect, the Dong family still calls them "Jiang", but Yu Qinghuan doesn't have so many rules. If he wants to be called Jiang, he can be called Jiang, and if he wants to be called Xue, he can be called Xue.

So there was Jiang and Xue saying for a while, but Dong’s mother and Daoxiang didn’t find it strange.

After finalizing the next plan, Yu Qinghuan said: "Mommy, in order to avoid confusion, from now on we will collectively refer to the Jiang family as the Xue family! To avoid Xue, Xue, Jiang, and Jiang being in a mess."

Mother Dong must have felt uncomfortable, but it was just a title, so she stopped arguing with the young lady. Thinking of this, she replied: "Yes."

Then, Yu Qinghuan lay down on the bed and pulled down the tattered curtain.

The man in gray is nearby, but don't wait until he makes a surprise inspection to find you alive and well.

Taking out the small notebook given by the master, Yu Qinghuan began to read it carefully.

There was also a piece of Thousand Layer Oil Cake in the small bundle. She put it into her mouth and ate it, while reading the book in awe.

The first step to break into the enemy's interior is to get out of this poor courtyard. However, this matter cannot be rushed. She has already explained the situation to Dong's mother in detail, and when the time is right, she can implement this plan.

"Shh, keep your voice down, miss."

Daoxiang came back with a handful of pear blossoms in her hand. She dug out a broken jar, put the pear blossoms in it, poured water on it, and finally placed it on the low stool next to the bed.

The pear blossoms are really beautiful. They are as white as snow and their petals are as pure as white jade. Sprinkled with water drops, they look even more charming.

There was only a bed, a couch and a broken cabinet in the house, so it was difficult for her to dig out the jar.

After doing all this, Daoxiang put the dirty clothes into a wooden bucket and lifted them to the well to wash them.

The well water was freezing cold, but they had to touch it every day, and their little hands were extremely rough.

Daoxiang is accustomed to such a life - although wealthy businessmen are rich, how can the lives of young ladies and maids compare with those of high-ranking officials and nobles.

Therefore, every maid can do rough work, and the ladies also know many life skills.

Two days passed like this. On this day, Dong's mother suddenly fainted while cleaning the yard.

Daoxiang spent a lot of effort to move Dong's mother back to the room.

"Miss, look at Mother Dong, she has fainted." Daoxiang knelt in front of the bed and begged in a low voice.

Yu Qinghuan's beautiful eyes were wandering as she put down her book and got out of bed to check on Mama Dong's condition.

Just when I was about to lift my sleeves to feel my pulse, I saw that Mother Dong’s arms and neck were covered in red spots, covering her skin, which looked hideous and terrifying.

Then I opened Dong's mother's clothes and found that the same situation was happening on her body.

Putting down her clothes, Yu Qinghuan slowly turned around and said seriously: "Daoxiang, grandma must have smallpox."

Daoxiang's face turned pale with fright, and tears rolled out of her eyes: "Miss, please save Mother Dong, even if I exchange my slave's life for my slave, I am willing to do so."

Yu Qinghuan shook his head: "We can't protect ourselves, so how can we save her?"

Daoxiang fell to the ground in despair. She was not worried about her situation, but shed tears for Mother Dong's body: "How could it be? How could she suddenly get smallpox?"

Yu Qinghuan sighed: "It's not impossible. You can find a way to attract the man in gray and tell him that both grandma and I have smallpox. I have my own plan next."

Daoxiang seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. She nodded hurriedly, picked up her skirt and ran out.

"This girl really can't keep her temper, but that's okay." Yu Qinghuan shook her head helplessly.

Immediately afterwards, there was a knock on the door outside.Daoxiang cried and clapped, shouting at the top of her lungs: "Open the door! Open the door quickly! Someone is coming! Open the door quickly..."

She screamed so hard that her palms were numb, but there was no response from outside.

Seeing that banging on the door didn't work, Daoxiang chose one of the several wooden stakes leaning against the wall, held it and banged against the door.

She used all her strength, and the old door shook as she hit it.The red paint on it peeled off, and it soon became mottled and worn.

"Open the door!" She yelled and banged, tears and sweat mixed together, but she had no intention of stopping and continued to repeat the same action.

A hole was finally broken through the courtyard door, which looked increasingly dilapidated and desolate. She was so pleasantly surprised that she held the wood and tried to hit the door again. The next moment, her movements suddenly stopped.

Looking out through the hole, there stood a cold and dangerous man, looking over indifferently.

Daoxiang threw down the wood, dug at the hole and cried, "Miss, she...she..."

The man in gray frowned, and with a shudder, he jumped into the yard: "What's the matter?"

Daoxiang pointed at the house, crying out of breath: "Something... something happened."

Perhaps the man in gray was worried that something had happened to "Dong Sui", so he strode towards the house and hurriedly checked on "Dong Sui".

The curtain was lowered, and the person on the bed was breathing slowly and lightly, like a gossamer.

"Don't touch!" The man in gray was about to open the curtain when Daoxiang stumbled in and shouted to stop her, "Miss seems to have smallpox! Aunt Dong also has the same symptoms."

The man in gray was about to open the curtain. He subconsciously looked at the small couch next to him and saw Aunt Dong lying unconscious on the couch. Her exposed arms and neck were covered with red spots and blisters. .

And on the face that was stained by the mist of time, red dots as big as a finger gradually appeared.

He clenched his hand and slowly retracted it without opening the curtain.

"How did you know it was smallpox?" The man in gray narrowed his eyes slightly, and his frightening gaze suddenly fell on Daoxiang.

Daoxiang lowered her head subconsciously and trembled involuntarily: "No, isn't it? Then, what kind of disease is that? Why do both mother and young lady Dong have rashes on their bodies, and the rashes are pus-filled and ulcerated... Folk saying Isn’t this what smallpox is rumored to be like?”

Daoxiang's voice became weaker and weaker, and eventually, she could no longer be heard at all.It was just the fear and panic on her face that made people clearly feel her fear.

Then, she suddenly took a step forward and said with tears in her eyes: "Please save the young lady and grandma."

The man in gray took a step back in disgust, unconsciously covering his mouth and nose with his hand, and said coldly: "Stay in the yard and wait. If you dare to step out of the yard, I will chop off your head!"

After a few threatening words, the man in gray left.
