Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Anan quickly bowed to Concubine Jin: "Greetings to Her Majesty."

Concubine Jin looked at the mother and daughter who were doing the same thing and couldn't help but smile. Last night, she heard that the Yuan family had used all their strength to save Hongze. She came to see Fourteen for Hongze's sake. She also saw that Anan was pretty and smart, so she sighed, "If Yu'er could have a wife like this, I would feel at ease."

Seeing that she had a little worry between her brows and her tone was quite emotional, Anan smiled and said, "Sixth Master is a man of great talent, he will surely have a great future."

Concubine Jin smiled, took Yuan Ruolan's hand, and chuckled, "Madam, you have been so kind, and I should thank you generously, but now the situation is critical, I can only wait to repay you in the future, I hope Madam will forgive me."

Yuan Ruolan heard this clearly, thinking that the child was fine. She immediately understood what Concubine Jin meant, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The plague is rampant now, and the Yuan family is short of manpower. I want to help out, but I'll take my leave now."

Concubine Jin lowered her head, sighed deeply, and said with a smile: "I don't need to thank you for your great kindness. When this is over, I will bring my son to thank you for saving my life."

"Your Majesty, you are too polite." Yuan Ruolan said as she turned back to look at Anan.

Anan frowned in deep thought. He wanted to ask about Jin Liu's whereabouts, but seeing his mother's current state, he knew it was not a good place to stay for long. So he said goodbye to Concubine Jin and followed his mother out. Concubine Jin stayed alone in the courtyard. Her personal maid escorted the mother and daughter out. When she reached the door, she suddenly knelt on the ground and said to Yuan Ruolan, "Madam, you must not reveal anything about Fourteenth Brother to outsiders. Remember, remember!"

Yuan Ruolan understood, nodded, and motioned for Anan to help her up.

Anan whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, auntie. My mother and I have been hiding from the plague at home. We have never seen outsiders and have never been here."

The maid then smiled and bowed to express her gratitude.

The situation became increasingly serious, as medicinal materials allocated from other places could not be delivered to the capital. Fortunately, He Lang came in person to deliver the emperor's reward. Both the government and other medical clinics cooperated with all their strength. The Yuan family went from fighting alone to having the support of many other medical clinics, and things became much easier.

Mingqi went to Qingcheng Mountain, and no one knew what method he used. Only a few disciples of Qingcheng Mountain were left to guard the mountain gate and refine pills. The rest of the disciples all went down the mountain and joined Yishan Hall. He Wei even personally went down to modify the prescription for Jinyun, and Jin Zhang also sent out all the medicinal materials stored in Qingcheng Mountain. At this time, the crisis was mostly over.

After another half a month, the situation in the palace stabilized and imperial doctors were sent to Yishan Hall to see patients. In addition, medicinal materials provided by Yishan Hall's branches in various places arrived in the capital, and the medical clinics began to have the spare capacity to distribute preventive medicinal materials to the people for free. From then on, people talked about the plague and were no longer silent.

A street of restaurants that had been closed for many days was the first to open, welcoming a large influx of customers, and the capital city began to slowly regain its former prosperity.

Anan stood at the door, pacing back and forth anxiously like an ant on a hot pan. Today, the Yuan brothers brought the owners of the three major medical clinics to the palace to express their gratitude. They entered the palace at dawn and had not returned home in the afternoon.

Liu, Zhang and Yuan Ruolan set up a table in the garden, drinking tea and admiring the snow. Yuan Ruolan looked at her daughter's appearance today, and remembered that day when she saw her hugging Hongze, she laughed secretly in her heart, and teased her daughter: "This girl, she is so anxious! If the son-in-law sees it, don't scare him!"
