Chapter 342: The Chaste and Virtuous Woman Who Was Drowned in a Pond by Her Husband’s Family (12)
There were constant wars in several small cities in the south, and there were uprisings everywhere. No matter whether they were successful or not, the common people were the ones who suffered.
The magistrate of Suicheng County was also unwilling to take care of these refugees, but the princess had ordered them to do more good deeds and accumulate blessings for the royal family, so he had to obey.
But it was limited to setting up a few stalls outside the city, allowing these ladies who were used to showing off to bring their daughters to distribute porridge.
Gu Zhen and Shang Yongle have been coming here for several days in a row, wearing veils on their faces.
Jinzhu caught a cold and fell ill the next day. Gu Zhen randomly picked a not-so-smart maid to take care of Jinzhu, and went out alone with Shang Yongle.
She is now much more mobile and can always find opportunities to contact her parents' home.
The two children squatting next to the porridge stall are none other than Wang Ping and his sister Wang Rong.
From the way the brother and sister were dressed now, Gu Zhen could tell that the Gu family must have understood the message she had spread with so much difficulty.
It was worth it for her to stay up late to embroider words on the inconspicuous parts of the cloth.
Gu Zhen patiently distributed porridge and treated every refugee kindly. Shang Yongle covered his nose in disgust and sat on an exquisite embroidered stool, watching silently without offering to help.
What a showman, pretending to be a living Buddha.
Shang Yongle didn't like his second sister-in-law very much. He felt that she was not as innocent as she seemed.
But there is no evidence to prove it.
Just as she was staring at Gu Zhen's slender back, a little girl about six or seven years old, wearing tattered clothes, came over with a bowl of porridge.
Her face was full of gratitude, and she said she would kowtow to Shang Yongle to express her gratitude.
Shang Yongle rolled his eyes in his heart, but he also knew that he had to save face in public, so he stood up and gently helped her up.
"Little sister, hurry up, there's no need... ah!! My clothes! You slut, don't you have eyes?"
The little girl's wrists were too thin to hold the bowl steadily, and all the porridge spilled onto Shang Yongle's skirt.
The new skirt I just made is ruined like this!
Shang Yongle was so angry that he raised his hand and was about to slap the little girl. The little girl was so scared that she knelt on the ground and apologized repeatedly.
Gu Zhen hurried over to stop her, "Sister, calm down, everyone is watching us!"
Shang Yongle then realized that several ladies were nearby. He withdrew his hand and stomped his feet a few times in anger.
"Sister, go back and change into a skirt, you can still get back in time."
Shang Yongle was very angry, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to take the maid back.
After the carriage left, Gu Zhen pulled the little girl aside and asked, "Are you not scared?"
Wang Rong giggled, not showing any panic at all, "Sister Zhen, I'm not afraid! Even if you slap me, I'm not afraid!"
Compared to living in a rat's nest and eating rotten food, a slap in the face is nothing!
Gu Zhen touched her little face, stood up and walked to the maid, "I am worried about Miss San going back alone, so I will go over to check. You wait here and don't leave, otherwise people will say that we are dishonest merchants."
Those maids were not the ones who served their masters personally. They just obeyed their masters' orders and didn't care about anything else. After hearing what was said, they felt relieved and let Gu Zhen leave alone.
Gu Zhen followed Wang Rong, followed by Wang Ping. After a few turns, they arrived at Gu's house.
It is not easy to find such an opportunity, Gu Zhen was almost in tears!
The Gu family did not set up the stall today, but were waiting for her. As soon as Gu Zhen entered the door, she saw her parents and brother, as well as Wang Juxia who was waiting patiently with her daughter.
Seeing her daughter, Xiao Meizhi ran over crying and hugged her: "My Zhen'er, you have suffered!"
Gu Wanjin almost cried. He and his wife had been feeling bad since they learned in prison a few months ago that their daughter was married.
What kind of place is a business place? After marrying into it, you don’t even know how to torture your wife, let alone do those disgusting things that disregard human ethics. It’s simply an insult!
Now that he sees that his daughter is doing well and is doing her best to make a way for herself, Gu Wanjin feels proud.
"Okay, mother, let Zhen'er sit down and drink some water first."
Gu Zhen kowtowed to the two elders, then pulled his younger brother Gu Quanfu to sit down together and told them in detail everything that had happened recently.
Upon learning that their daughter was nearly insulted by her father-in-law, and had to be on guard against her eldest uncle's misconduct every day, and was often bullied, the three members of the Gu family were furious.
"What a bunch of scum!" Gu Quanfu slammed the table hard.
Gu Wanjin sat there and sighed. He was incompetent. He gave birth to a beautiful daughter but couldn't protect her. This realization once made him regret so much that he wanted to die.
Gu Zhen comforted them with a few words before getting down to business.
She waved for Wang Juxia to come over with her daughter. "Are you feeling better lately? I see you look much better."
There was no chance to take the patient's pulse, so Gu Zhen could only prescribe some nourishing medicine according to the doctor's previous pulse records.
After receiving the order, Wang Juxia never mentioned Gu Zhen's medical treatment, but just kept thanking Gu Zhen for finding a prescription that worked.
"Thanks to the Second Young Madam, Mo'er is much better now. She no longer wakes up with palpitations at night."
Gu Zhen touched Li Moer's wrist and had an idea in his mind.
The child is weak from birth, has a deficiency of Qi and blood, and some disorders in the functions of the five internal organs. It is a disease of the rich, and there is nothing wrong with the medication used by ordinary doctors. The child will always survive if he takes good care of himself.
But Wang Juxia was a slave and her husband was a groom, and they could not afford such a life.
Gu Zhen was once again thankful that he had a powerful golden finger that allowed him to find a new way to treat difficult and complicated diseases.
She nodded secretly to Wang Juxia, "I like this girl, so keep her by my side and serve her tea. I won't treat her badly."
Wang Juxia felt very calm and knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.
Gu Zhen asked the mother and daughter to wait outside, and took out a bag of silver money from her arms, "Dad, Mom, you have been raising several children recently, it is really hard, you must accept this money, I will ask Mother Wang to send some more."
The old couple refused to accept it, but they could not resist their daughter's determination.
"My child, as long as you are well, no matter how hard and tiring your father and I have to go through, it will all be worth it! No matter what, you must hold on. Mother is waiting for you to come home!"
Gu Zhen suppressed her jealousy and nodded heavily.
Before leaving, she left a few prescriptions and told Wang Ping and his younger brother to buy the herbs separately, go to as many pharmacies as possible, and give them to Mother Wang after they had all the herbs.
Gu Zhen reluctantly said goodbye to her family, put on her face mask, and took Li Moer back to the porridge shed.
By the evening, Shang Yongle still hadn't come back.
Gu Zhen led his men back home, and as soon as he entered the house, he was called to the main room by Meng Jinlian's mother.
Meng Jinlian sat up with all her strength and pointed at Li Moer, "Whose girl is this? Why did you bring her back home without telling me?"
Gu Zhen walked over and patted her shoulders. "To answer your question, this girl is also a refugee. She knelt in front of our porridge stall and said she wanted to sell herself. I think she is smart and pretty. I thought she doesn't want money anyway, so why not take her?"
"In that case, I will assign you to be a sweeper in the yard. Second brother, come in with me. I have something to tell you."
Gu Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Meng Jinlian was so easy to talk to today, she was afraid that she would bring up the old matter again.
