Gu Qingling looked at him with a strange expression.
She Hongwen realized that he was too excited, so he quickly calmed down, suppressed his rising blood, and said: "I'm sorry, old lady, I'm too excited. I don't mean anything else, I just want to confirm,
Is the vaccination that you said can really prevent smallpox? If so, are you willing to say it? Don't worry, I will definitely write a letter to His Majesty on your behalf, and you will..."
Balabala, a lot of good words come out for free.
He said that as long as Gu Qingling was willing to hand over the secret recipe for preventing smallpox, he would surely make an "unparalleled contribution" and be famous for generations to come.
"Uh... you don't seem to know the reason why you and General Jiang are here?" Gu Qingling sounded strange, paused, and said, "Didn't His Majesty say anything when you left Beijing?"
She Hongwen looked blank.
"When you left the capital, had my natal Gu family already had contact with the royal family?"
This She Hongwen could answer: "Yes, the eldest prince has been ordered to go to the Gu family in person to apologize to the Gu family...apologise."
"Do you know why?"
Why did he feel that the old lady already knew about it? But She Hongwen was very sure that after meeting the Yao family, he did not mention anything about the developments in the capital. How did the old lady Yao know about it?
After thinking about it, She Hongwen said: "There are rumors in the capital that the ninth young lady of the Gu family robbed the daughter of the Sinong Temple young minister's family as a congratulatory gift for the eldest prince's concubine. The Gu family, under pressure from the eldest prince's palace, took the initiative to divorce his wife..."
Feeling that there was an ambiguity in what he said, She Hongwen hurriedly explained, "The one who divorced was not the old lady's daughter, but someone else."
After a suspicious pause, She Hongwen added, "Except for the old lady's daughter, all the women in the Gu family have been divorced and allowed to return to their parents' homes with their children. This was such a big move that it alarmed His Majesty. He ordered the eldest prince to apologize to the Gu family in person.
,If you are not sincere, you will not return.”
Gu Qingling: "..."
Well, she had known that when Mr. Yao sent that thing to the capital, the original owner's foolhardy brother would do something big, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
Look, no one in our Gu family is a high-ranking official, so we can’t stand up to the emperor, right?
It's okay, I'm going to offend the royal family by packing up a daughter-in-law, causing trouble in front of His Majesty...
Gu Qingling had to calculate in her mind whether the little thing she handed over would be enough for Emperor Mingguang to avoid the punishment of the Yao and Gu families.
It doesn't matter whether you are grateful or not, just don't hurt the tiger instead of hurting yourself.
"Then, I and General Jiang took the order to go to Yunyang City to pick up the Yao family to Beijing." At this point, She Hongwen already had some guesses in his mind, but this guess shocked him, and he even couldn't believe it.
But if this is the case, he seems to understand why the movements in Beijing are so strange.
If he hadn't heard Mrs. Yao tell him with his own eyes that she had vaccinated the Yao family with pox and was not afraid of the Yao family getting smallpox, he would never have thought of this at all.
My dear!
That was smallpox. Once you contract it, you will almost die. There is no cure for smallpox. Mrs. Yao actually said - don't be afraid, I have a method of vaccination to prevent smallpox.
How much credit does this have?
Become famous in one fell swoop.
Immortal merit.
Lasting forever.
…
She Hongwen dared to say that if the news got out and the operation was done properly, the Yao family would be equivalent to getting a gold medal to avoid death.
He took a breath of air and suddenly understood why he and General Jiang were here.
Where do you come from to give people "justice" and restore their innocence?
It's obviously coming...
"Old lady, is the vaccination method you mentioned true? It can really... prevent and cure smallpox?!" She Hongwen confirmed again.
Gu Qingling frowned slightly and said: "It's not prevention, it's prevention. I don't know how to cure smallpox, but I'm not 100% sure of how to prevent it, but I'm 70 to 80% sure. Otherwise, Sir She, why would I dare to do this?
Take such a big risk and let a whole family enter this prison?"
She Hongwen was very excited and was about to speak when Gu Qingling raised her hand to stop him.
Gu Qingling said: "Master She, don't worry. Isn't there already smallpox in the prison? Then you should watch carefully. Even if anyone in the prison gets smallpox, it is impossible for the Yao family to get smallpox. If you can trust me, I can also prevent it."
I can tell you how to do it, but... smallpox is right in front of you, and I am not sure whether vaccination at this time can prevent smallpox. After all, as far as I know, this kind of acne will take at least a month to be effective. I am already in prison.
There is smallpox. If someone is already infected but has not developed it, and if he is asked to vaccinate him, not to mention preventing smallpox, I am afraid that it will only add insult to injury and add injury to injury."
I didn't directly say that it was certain death. After all, smallpox and other things, although the mortality rate is extremely high, it is not guaranteed to be 100% fatal.
If that were the case, there would be no "pockmarked face" after getting smallpox but surviving.
While the two were talking, someone came to report that General Jiang was here.
When She Hongwen heard this, he knew that Jiang Yi had something to do, otherwise he would not have come to see him outside the agreed time.
"Since General Jiang is here, I won't disturb Master She. I will go back to the prison first and come back later to talk to Master She." Gu Qingling stood up, saluted, and left the tent.
Back in the prison, Aunt Chen had already finished her "quarrel" with Mrs. Yao Er. Everyone was resting in their seats and basically had no intention of talking.
However, when Gu Qingling came back, they reacted and asked her what Master She wanted from her.
After Master She came, the Yao family knew that the capital already knew that the Yao family had been slandered and sent to prison. Without asking, they knew who had exposed this matter, except for the "missing" Yao Erye.
, who else could it be?
It can’t be Yao Liuye, right?
Even if Aunt Chen doesn't want to admit it, she also knows that Yao Liuye "ran away from home" and Yao Eryefu's mysterious "disappearance" are completely different things.
Before, she had only heard noises coming from the second room. It was said that Mr. Yao had a lover outside, and Mrs. Yao discovered it, and the two had a quarrel. Coincidentally, that was when the Yamen came to arrest him.
Second Master Yao ran out of the house in anger and secretly went on a date with his sweetheart.
As for the government officials who couldn't find anyone, Aunt Chen only thought that the government officials in Yunyang City were just a bunch of "wastes" who only took their salaries and did not work.
But now, the young minister of Dali Temple has appeared, saying that he has received orders from His Majesty to take the Yao family to Beijing...
It was only then that Aunt Chen finally realized - I bet you, Mr. Yao is not dating his sweetheart, but has gone to the capital to file a lawsuit?!
——I really haven’t noticed that Mr. Yao is such a man?
——This old woman has finally done some human work.
In comparison, Aunt Zhang's thoughts were deeper and she thought more.
It's a pity that after Gu Qingling "rectified the Yao family", she no longer had any useful informants and became like a blind person. She couldn't know the situation at the first time and could only react to it after the fact.
Aunt Zhang was not angry, but under the current situation, she had no choice but to grit her teeth secretly and endure it, hoping that she could hold onto Gu Qingling's lap for the time being and get over the current crisis.
——When this crisis is over, she will settle the accounts with that old woman!
There was a hint of gloominess in Aunt Zhang's eyes that she couldn't hide.
