Chapter 538 
"Yingniang, sister Long, thank you so much! Thankfully you are here, otherwise I really don't know what to do in this situation!"

As Guan Shi talked, she was about to cry.

The tired and sad these days, only she can understand in her heart.If Xia Ying and Miss Zhifu were not there to help her, she would hardly be able to survive.

Thank goodness they were there, and they have been!

Miss Zhifu was silent.

Xia Ying patted Guan's back. "It's okay, aren't we good sisters? You are in trouble, we are here to help, that's what we should! Don't think too much, send someone to bring the food back now!"

Guan nodded quickly.

She then pulled these two good sisters. "Let's go together!"

Xia Ying and Miss Zhifu looked at each other, and they both nodded.

When this batch of rice grains was transported back, the supply of rice grains in the provincial capital would be guaranteed for the next half a month, and other things such as fresh vegetables and pork were constantly explored to find the most suitable method.After a group of them bumped heads, they could be considered to have put everything on the right track.

By this time, they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Xia Ying also had the heart to sigh: "Really, I said that the city is being locked down now, and I can easily lock myself at home to draw a manuscript! But who knows, the city is closed, and I am actually better than the city without it." I was still busy before! These days I dare not close my eyes almost every night, until now I dare to close my eyes and sleep peacefully."

Miss Zhifu is not much better.

Seeing this, Mrs. Guan smiled and said, "In this case, you should go home and get some sleep! I'll give you a day off today."

"Okay! I'm not being polite to you!" Xia Ying nodded immediately.

She was so tired, she just wanted to take a nap now!
So she immediately dragged Miss Zhifu out.

As soon as the two people walked to the door, they saw another person coming to report the matter.

Mrs. Guan had just finished dealing with the matter at hand, so she cheered up and discussed the matter with the people below.

Seeing this, Xia Ying whispered to Miss Zhifu: "Have you noticed that Sister Duanniang is becoming more and more capable now?"

"Found it." Miss Zhifu nodded.

For such a long time, Guan Shi has been in charge of coordinating the overall situation. Her daily workload is more than the two of them combined, so Guan Shi has been so tired that everyone has lost a lot of weight.Even so, her spirit is unprecedentedly good, and she can only take one or two hours a day to take a nap, her mind is still spinning fast, and she handles things more quickly and decisively.

Just like now, when these shopkeepers under the Ye family came to her, they didn't dare to be as contemptuous as they used to be. Instead, they were all respectful, just like Zhou Wang and his group of apprentices treated Xia Ying.

Xia Ying winked. "Look, as I said earlier, she doesn't need to be pitiful. Now only the Ye family is pitied by her!"

Miss Zhifu chuckled again.

"You're right. I was short-sighted before, and misunderstood Sister Duanniang."

However, seeing Guan's becoming so powerful in a short period of time, she was still very happy.Even these days, she has learned a lot from Guan Shi, and she feels a sense of accomplishment in her heart.

The same is true for Xia Ying.

It's just that they still think that they don't have Guan's good spirits. Under such a high-intensity operation that lasted for more than ten days, their bodies can't stretch anymore, and now they have to go back to sleep quickly!

So, Xia Ying and Miss Zhifu held hands, and they walked out of Ye's courtyard together.

However, as soon as she arrived at the door, Xia Ying saw Lu Yueniang who was wearing a veil rushing in.

"Madam, you are indeed here! Great!"

Xia Ying frowned. "Why do you think you're going out? Or...something happened to my man?"

"Nothing happened to the master, it's the Eldest Young Master who happened." Lu said hastily.

Xia Ying's figure flickered, she almost lost her footing.

After finally gaining a firm footing, she pushed away the Miss Zhifu who was supporting her, and strode towards Lu Yueniang. "What's wrong with Brother Long? Isn't this kid staying in the academy? I remember that Bailu Academy didn't find anyone infected with the plague!"

"No before. But just a few days ago, the eldest son suddenly became ill and had a fever. Rumors spread around the academy that his family raised bamboo rats. He stayed with bamboo rats every day when he went back to the New Year, so he must have He caught the plague! Then he was quarantined." Lu Yueniang hurriedly explained the cause and effect to her.

"Originally, this was also a routine operation, and there was nothing to question. However, when the eldest son was isolated, many things about the eldest son were rumored in the academy. Some people even reported to the supervisor, saying that the eldest son The young master violated the academy's prohibition to do business in the academy, and someone exposed him as the son of a merchant, and bought him for his status. For a while, everyone in the academy pointed the finger at him, and now they are clamoring to drive the eldest son out What about the academy!"

While she was talking, Xia Ying had already read the letter in her hand.

This letter was written by Mr. Wu, and the content was exactly the same as what Lu Yueniang said.

Previously, Gu Yuanlong was doing business in the academy, and this matter belonged to the people who would not sue the officials, so everyone from top to bottom turned a blind eye to it and it was over.But now, once someone really started arguing on this topic, and even brought the matter to the proctor, the proctor would have to investigate strictly!

Of course Xia Ying knew: the two charges against Gu Yuanlong were true.And just pick out one of them at random, that's enough for the child to be expelled from the academy!
But she can't allow this to happen!

Especially now that Gu Yuanlong is still sick!

Stimulated by this incident, Xia Ying immediately couldn't care less about being tired.

"Brother Long's father? Where is he now?"

Something happened to the child, she had to discuss the countermeasures with Gu Tuo immediately.

"The master just sent the news last night that he and the prefect went down to Qingyang County to observe the epidemic situation."

Qingyang County!
"It's hundreds of miles away from the provincial capital, and even farther away from Bailu Academy, almost 150 miles away!" Miss Zhifu said.

Then it would be impossible to find a solution with Gu Tuo.

Xia Ying collected herself. "Let's go home quickly and prepare a horse for me. I'm going to Bailu Academy to find Brother Long!"

"Madam, don't worry, the horse and the burden have been prepared for you." Lu Yueniang hurriedly handed over a heavy burden to Xia Ying.

Xia Ying accepted the burden. "These days, sister Fu and Xiaoqi will be left to you to take care of. You should also take care of the things assigned to me by sister Duanniang!"

"Ma'am, don't worry, this servant will definitely handle the things you told me well." Lu Yueniang nodded.

Xia Ying then told Miss Zhifu: "Go and tell Sister Duanniang about the ins and outs! My situation is urgent here, so I won't go in and talk to her anymore. She is also busy."

"Okay." Miss Zhifu agreed concisely.

"Just, have you figured out how to get out of the city?"
