Ye Qingyi smiled mysteriously, thinking that Yue Shuang really thought carefully and must have known she had plans. But Yue Shuang might have no idea what she had planned.

Ye Qingyi didn't talk much, but the expression in her eyes were so mysterious that Hua Yue and Yue Shuang felt horrified, thinking that fortunately they were the Lady's subordinates, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they would die.

Staying at Beauty & Fragrance Pavilion for a long time, they didn't see anything happen in Huangfu Xuan's room. After drinking tea for a while, they left Beauty & Fragrance Pavilion. Ye Qingyi knew that according to Ye Hongling's temperament, she would never let it go. "I should restore myself, and I can not only wait to see what else Ye Hongling will do."

Ye Qingyi thought about it that way, failing to anticipate that something went wrong in the city first. In a town outside the city, someone was infected with a plague, and the whole town was out of order in a sudden. The emperor quickly sent the doctor to treat. Beyond that, it panicked the entire city. The plague was not trivial but a matter of life and death.

At this moment, people in the whole city closed their doors and tried their best not to go outdoors. The business of drugstores was booming. Some unscrupulous businesses took advantage of the opportunity to raise the price of the drug to make money.

General's Mansion was also gripped in panic. Every day, disinfection medicines were spread outside and inside the house. And the yard was cleaned again and again. Ye Hongling was even more exaggerated. For fear of plague, she would like to soak herself in medicine every day.

Although Concubine Yun had a great prejudice against Ye Qingyi, she organized everything inside and outside General's Mansion well to make sure nothing went wrong. Everyone in the mansion took a medicated bath every day. The first thing everyone would do after waking up every morning was to drink a bowl of medicinal soup first. Although it was troublesome, everyone was obedient for the sake of safety. If they got infected, not to mention being expelled from the mansion, they might be thrown to mass graves.

Only Ye Qingyi's courtyard was quiet and seemed out of place in General's Mansion. The other yards were all messy, while only this Picturesque Pavilion was surprisingly quiet.

"Lady, aren't you afraid of the plague?"

Hua Yue was curious. When she heard that there was a plague outside the city, everyone was in a mess, but her own lady was very calm without any panic. Although Concubine Yun sent someone to bring Eldest Miss the medicine every day, she didn't drink and just poured all of it.

"Nothing to fear. It's a plague, and that's all." It was just a small plague. Could it be compared to AIDS? Only people at this time didn't understand it and were in such a panic. People should not be so afraid if they were careful enough, and what they should do was only to be cautious.

"Lady, that's a plague! Although there is nothing wrong with our General’s Mansion, how could you pour all the medicine sent by Concubine Yun?. It's also wise to play safe. And you should be more careful." Seeing Ye Qingyi's indifferent look, Hua Yue felt a little anxious. If she were infected with the plague, she would die.

Ye Qingyi knew that Hua Yue was worried about her, but was the Concubine Yun's medicine really useful? “She can't wait to see me die earlier. Will she let it go when facing with such a good opportunity?” 

"My silly Hua Yue, is the medicine bath that I let you take just white elephant? Why don't you think about it?"

"Yes, you let us take a medicated bath every day. Now I feel better and better." Hua Yue was reminded by what Ye Qingyi had just mentioned.

"Moreover, is the medicine sent by Concubine Yun really the medicine? She tried everything to kill me. Plague, what a perfect excuse, and will she let it go? Therefore, the more goodwill she shows at this time, the more it proves that she is planning something. So Hua Yue, you should be careful."

Ye Qingyi taught HuaYue with great patience. This girl was pretty good, but had a bit slow response. She's not as good as Yue Shuang when it came to the complicated benefits and harms in interpersonal relations.

"That's it! I am dull." Hearing Ye Qingyi's words, Hua Yue naturally understood the problem. At this time, if Concubine Yun did something secretly, she could take the plague as an excuse. And at that time, even if she had the intention, the general could not say anything.

It was still thoughtful of the Lady. If the Lady had such a temperament as she did, the Lady might have been killed by Concubine Yun for several times.

Seeing that Hua Yue took a tumble, Ye Qingyi chuckled secretly, "Silly girl."

Ye Hongling had just taken a medicated bath, but it was not long before she soaked again, and the maids had to boil water for her medicine. Concubine Yun happened to be here and wanted to see if Ye Hongling's injury was healed. Upon entering the door, she smelled a pungent medicine. Although these days the mansion was full of medicinal flavors, in Ye Hongling's house, Concubine Yun couldn't help covering her nose on smelling such a heavy medicinal flavor.

"Why is the smell of medicine in the Second Lady's house so heavy?"

"Madam, the Second Lady took several medicated baths a day and we have to obey." As soon as the maid said, Concubine Yun knew what Ye Hongling was thinking about. She really didn't have to be so careful even if she was terrified, since medicine could be poisonous.

"Fine, you have my permission to withdraw."

Concubine Yun went to the inner room, and her sight was caught by Ye Hongling, who was seated in front of the mirror. "Second Lady, medicine is also poisonous. If you have it for too many times, it would cause an accident!"

"Concubine Yun, the plague is so severe outside, and I don't want to be infected. I heard that in recent days, the plague is prevailing in the city." Hearing Concubine Yun saying so, Ye Hongling didn't care. No matter what, she could not be infected with the plague.

"Don't be silly. Twice is the most for a day. Just smell. Your house smells like a drugstore!"

Looking at Ye Hongling's careless expression, Concubine Yun felt anxious and angry. When could Ye Hongling learn from that Ye Qingyi? It seemed that the last lesson was not enough for her to use her brain.

"Concubine Yun, why do you tell me off as soon as you come?" Facing Concubine Yun's reprimand as soon as she came, Ye Hongling was very dissatisfied and immediately longed her face. "It has been only a few days since my injury recovered. Do you also want to beat me like my dad did?"

‘What did I do wrong? Why did she reprimand me since she came? It’s so irritating. My good Concubine Yun starts to saddle me the moment she gets here. I would rather she not come, and I can stay alone myself!’ 

"You're really infuriating me. Your skin will wrinkle if you took too many times of medicine baths. Do you want to become an old woman? Then who will dare to marry you!" Concubine Yun was really mad at Ye Hongling. Should her goodwill be paid off in this way? ‘Just as an old saying goes, someones are inclined to take people’s kindness as ill intention.’
