The reason why Chen Yuan donated 30,000 taels of silver immediately after Shen Rong was simply because he suddenly learned that Shen Rong had donated so much money and grain, and he got excited and acted impulsively for a moment.
However, it was not without benefits. At least the Queen Mother praised her.
However, after she came back from the palace, Liu learned that Chen Yuan had donated so much money, and she cried and scolded. She kept saying that the money belonged to the Gu family and that Chen Yuan, as a daughter-in-law, had no right to use it. In the end, she even cried and made a scene.
Chen Yuan, who felt a little regretful after calming down, saw that Liu acted as if the money belonged to her, and Chen Yuan only hated that he had donated too little.
Chen Yuan felt very disgusted by Liu.
However, when she thought that Gu Zhaoming would not be able to give birth to a son in the future, she felt secretly happy.
Liu had suffered a loss at the hands of Chen Yuan, and seeing that Qu Lian had been married for several months but still had no sign of pregnancy, she gradually began to dislike Qu Lian.
After Chen Yuan found out, he just watched coldly.
Since Shen Rong Changsheng left, the mansion has been very quiet.
Because of the flood in the south, the Gong family's donation of 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 shi of grain gradually faded.
However, since then, no one in the capital city has ever said that the Gong family is a ruined family.
Changsheng followed Zhou Minglang to provide disaster relief, and Mrs. Zhou Er specially asked Shen Rong to meet him in a teahouse.
Mrs. Zhou Er told Shen Rong that the reason why Changsheng went with them to provide disaster relief was related to the donated money and grain. Once this matter was done, the Gong family would have a reason to inherit the title.
Because it was Changsheng's first mission and the trip was to such a far place, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but feel relieved.
Mrs. Zhou Er reminded and comforted her at the same time. She was also worried that Shen Rong might not understand some things due to her background, so she said more.
After all, Mrs. Zhou Er had good intentions and did not look down on Shen Rong because of her background.
Shen Rong had known Mrs. Zhou Er for such a long time, so she naturally knew that Mrs. Zhou Er's intentions were well-intentioned.
They all accepted it humbly.
Time passed quickly and Changsheng had been gone for more than half a month.
During this half month, there was no news from Shen Rong about Changsheng.
However, Mrs. Zhou Er mentioned to her that they were still on their way south, and they should be able to receive letters from home once they arrived.
In this way, Shen Rong kept waiting, hoping to receive a letter from home as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, she did not receive a letter from home, but heard that a small county in the south of the Yangtze River had dealt with the plague.
And the place where the plague broke out was the place that was affected.
When Shen Rong heard this, she was at Minghui Courtyard with her two children paying respects to the old lady.
Gong Shaoshan came in from outside in a hurry and knelt on the ground as soon as he came in, "Madam, there is an outbreak of plague in Jiangnan!"
The moment Shen Rong heard the news, her mind went blank.
Before she could come to her senses, the old lady sitting at the top fell down.
Fortunately, Aunt Hua was very capable and held the person up.
"Old Madam!" Shen Rong exclaimed. Seeing that Nanny Hua was having a hard time lifting the old lady, she hurried forward to hold her up.
"Hurry, call someone to get a doctor!" Shen Rong ordered as she laid the old lady flat.
Although she knows medical skills, she has little experience. She would feel at ease if she asked an experienced doctor to take a look.
The housekeeper reacted quickly. Seeing the old lady fall down, he quickly got up and went out to call a doctor.
Shen Rong looked at the old lady lying unconscious on the couch, her mind in a mess.
Sometimes it was the scene of Changsheng lying on the ground with no one to take care of him after he was infected with the disease, and sometimes it was the scene of Changsheng freezing to death on a snowy night. Both of them were always lingering in his mind.
Shen Rong placed her fingers on the old lady's pulse, but she couldn't calm down, let alone take her pulse.
Shen Sanniang, don't panic, don't panic. Jiangnan is so big, it can't be such a coincidence that the place Changsheng went to is where the plague broke out, right?
Shen Rong stayed by the bed, comforting herself.
Fortunately, after a while, an old doctor carrying a medicine box came in.
Shen Rong didn't recognize this doctor.
Shen Lianchuan lived far away from the west of the city, so the servants in the mansion invited an old doctor named Wang nearby.
The old doctor was quite capable. After taking the old lady's pulse, he gave her a few injections and the old lady woke up.
However, when the old lady opened her eyes, she looked visibly older.
Shen Rong didn't have the mind to pay attention to these things at the moment. While she was waiting for the doctor to come, she had been thinking a lot.
If the old lady is okay, she will go find Changsheng.
The old lady opened her eyes, looked at the familiar room, and suddenly remembered what happened before she fell into a coma.
She grabbed Shen Rong who was guarding her bedside and said with tears in her eyes: "Sanniang, Shi Ming's child..."
Shen Rong held the old lady's hand and said, "Old lady, my husband will be fine!"
The old lady looked at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking of. She sighed and said, "Oh! I regret it. I shouldn't have brought you back. If I hadn't come back, you and Changsheng wouldn't have to travel so much, and now..."
As she spoke, the old lady couldn't help but choked up.
Shen Rong comforted her, "Madam, my husband will be fine!" She paused and said, "I have learned some medical skills from Grandpa Shen. I will go find him!"
The old lady glared at Shen Rong for a long time without saying anything.
After a while, she said anxiously, "Don't talk nonsense! That place is for you to go to safely. They are still young, and they can't lose their mother!"
Shen Rong was silent for a while, but she had made up her mind to find Changsheng.
If she went to find Changsheng, there might be a chance that Changsheng would come back. If she didn't go, I'm afraid...
As a doctor, she knew best how terrible the plague was.
Her space has a healing effect, and only if she goes there can Changsheng be guaranteed to be safe.
Even though this would risk exposing the space, she couldn't just watch Changsheng die.
Seeing that Shen Rong looked like she had to go, the old lady took Nanny Hua's hand and sat up from the couch.
The old lady looked at the two siblings who had been standing by her bedside without making a sound. Seeing how well behaved they were, she lovingly took their hands and said, "Plagues have always been terrible. As a doctor, you must understand how terrible they are. These two children are so young. Can you bear to let them lose their mother?"
Shen Rong looked at the brother and sister without saying a word, but she was thinking in her heart how to take the two children away as well.
She did not answer the old lady's words, but set her eyes on the housekeeper.
"Butler, where did you get this news?"
"During the court meeting today, the emperor received an urgent message from Jiangnan, which was sent over 800 miles away. This news was not kept secret. Not only did the officials in the court know about it, but the common people in the market are also discussing it."
Shen Rong thought for a moment and said, "Housekeeper, go to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and ask for information. It would be best if you could meet Madam Zhou Er."
If the plague is true, everyone in the Zhenguo Mansion is busy right now and has no time to deal with others.
But Shen Rong still had to give it a try to see if she could get some information.
"Yes, I'll go right away!" The housekeeper left Minghuiyuan again.
The old lady looked at the butler's back as he left, then looked at Shen Rong who had a determined look on her face.
She knew Shen Rong hadn't taken her words to heart, so she just waved her hand and said, "I'm fine. Go ahead and do your work. I want to lie down for a while."
Shen Rong bowed and left Minghui Courtyard with the two children.
When the old lady saw Shen Rong leaving, she hurriedly asked Nanny Hua to invite the housekeeper over to guard the gates of the mansion and prevent the young mistress from leaving the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion.
The old lady had just realized that Shen Rong had not heard a word she said.
If so, she would have to use some coercive measures.
Shen Rong, who was packing her luggage in Guiyuan, didn't know that the old lady had no longer allowed her to leave the house.
