First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 461 Quarantine
He entered the room and found that Du Rongzhi was also there, he quickly bowed his hands and said, "This subordinate has seen Madam."

Song Zixun had already stood up, frowning and asked, "What happened?"

Wei Wu replied with a solemn expression, "The subordinate just went back to the city with Dr. Zhang to grab the medicine. On the way, I met Zhao Yan and the others. They said that some of the refugees in the city had symptoms such as fever and diarrhea, especially a seven-year-old boy. The situation is the most serious. When Doctor Zhang checked just now, the child had fainted. His mother said that he had been complaining of pain and lack of energy these days, and she only thought it was because of hunger..."

"Bang—" Wei Wu hadn't finished speaking, but Du Rongzhi, who was sitting at the table, knocked over the tea cup on the table somehow, and the tea spilled all over her.

But she didn't seem to notice it at all, she stood up in a daze, and asked in a daze, "The child... what kind of child is it?"

Wei Wu was taken aback for a moment, but before he could react, Changxing and Yuanyuan, who followed in, had already changed their expressions, and Yuanyuan hurriedly said, "When we went to the yamen to find the master, we passed by Zhang Ahu's steamed bun stand, and we happened to see a woman who He beat him violently for stealing steamed buns, and the young lady couldn't bear it for a while, so she went down and bought some steamed buns for her... The woman's son was about seven or eight years old, and he was wearing brown clothes..."

Song Zixun's eyes suddenly darkened, and he looked at Wei Wu.

Wei Wu nodded with some seriousness, "That child is indeed wearing a dark brown dress, and he was still holding a small unfinished steamed bun in his hand when he was unconscious..."

Guan'er ate the sesame cake in her hand, and asked curiously, "Didn't mother and father come back already? Why can't Guan'er go find them?"

She asked several times in succession, and the restless Nanny An came back to her senses, forced a smile and said, "Miss Sun is good, the master and the young lady have business to do... If Miss Sun is bored, ask the little girl to accompany you." How about you kick the shuttlecock and flip the flower rope..."

Guan'er patted the sesame on her hand, pouted and said aggrievedly, "But mother said she would play with me when she came back..."

Nanny An sighed, stretched out her hand to touch Guan'er's small hairpin, and murmured as if to comfort her and herself, "Wait for the past few days...it will be fine after these few days."

..............................

As soon as Du Rongzhi returned to the mansion, she locked herself in the house.

It's fine if others don't know about the disease, but she knows its seriousness very well.Especially women and children are weaker, and the risk of infection is higher than others.Now that she is likely to be infected, she should not have any contact with other people in the house.So from the moment she entered the house, she closed the door directly, and no one was allowed to enter her room except for the necessary medicinal bath and letting people take out all the clothes she wore today and boil them in boiling water for disinfection.

As a personal maid, Yuanyuan rode in a carriage with Du Rongzhi all the way, and she was also at risk of being infected. After being relieved of the initial shock, she quickly calmed down and took the medicine bath as Du Rongzhi said. After changing again, he stayed outside all the time, listening to Du Rongzhi's orders at any time.

...Du Rongzhi leaned against the head of the bed, feeling a little exhausted.

Everything that happened in the past two days had a great impact on her, from the sudden realization of the early flood, to the plague in the county, to the possibility that she might be infected... She felt as if she was in a dream...

But this is so true.

Du Rongzhi rubbed between his brows weakly.

I hope...everything is just her own desperation...

Yuanyuan knocked on the door, "Young Madam, the kitchen has brought some food, you can use some."

Du Rongzhi let out a soft "Oh", only to remember that he hadn't eaten since he went out today.

She turned over tiredly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm not hungry yet, let's leave it for now..."

"Young Madam, eat a little bit..." Yuan Yuan persuaded outside the door, "Didn't you also say that the more physically fit a person is, the less likely they are to be infected? If you don't eat well, how can your physique be good? ?”

Du Rongzhi couldn't help but smile wryly.

Her body doesn't seem to match her physique...

Du Rongzhi was silent for a while, then said softly, "I really can't eat now...you put it away for now, and I can eat it when I want to eat it."

Unexpectedly, Yuanyuan didn't answer, but there was a knock on the door outside.

Du Rongzhi hurriedly sat up, and said displeasedly, "Didn't I—"

But Song Zixun came in carrying a food box.

Seeing Du Rongzhi staring at him blankly, he greeted with a smile, "Come over for dinner." His attitude and tone were the same as usual.

"You..." Du Rongzhi came to his senses and hurriedly said, "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you not to come here?"

Song Zixun laughed and said, "If I don't come, how do I know you're so disobedient... Why don't you hurry down to eat!" As he spoke, he walked up to the bed and pulled her.

Du Rongzhi was so frightened that she quickly shrank to the corner of the bed and shouted, "You...don't come here!"

Song Zixun stood still, looking at her dumbfounded, "Then do you want to eat?"

"I want it!" Du Rongzhi nodded again and again, "I'll eat it when you go out." She paused, then remembered, "When did you come back? Have you finished the medicinal bath? And the mother and child -"

"Don't worry, I took a shower as soon as I got back to the house." Song Zixun put the food box on the table, "The child's condition is still stable, and the doctor has checked the pulse for his mother. Everything is fine now, and he has not been injured. Infect."

Du Rongzhi heaved a sigh of relief, and said seriously, "You should also be careful these days, keep a certain distance when in contact with those patients, it's best to cover your mouth and nose..."

Song Zixun nodded seriously, and frowned, "...I don't know if this will damage the majesty of my county magistrate..."

Du Rongzhi knew that he was trying to make herself happy, so she forced a smile, and said seriously, "In this situation, you can only protect more people and disaster victims if you protect yourself... How can you care about it?" What majesty is not majesty? Be careful in everything."

Song Zixun looked at her deeply for a while, "I know...you insist on isolating yourself to protect Guan'er and me." He whispered, "Take care of yourself and don't think about it all day... Ten days will soon be over. will pass."

Du Rongzhi had a sore nose, and gave him an annoyed look, "Since you know ten days is short, don't hang around in front of me, what should you do?"

Song Zixun sighed with a smile, "If you can save people's worries, I can only talk to you outside the door in the future."

Du Rongzhi nodded quickly, "I see... I'll eat on time from now on." She paused and said solemnly, "I'll be counting on you for the next few days... You must protect her well."

Song Zixun promised with a smile, "Don't worry, I will give you back a fairer and fatter daughter in ten days."

...It's a pity that he stopped laughing soon.
