Chapter 271: 154 Chickenpox (First Revision)_3
However, even the Prince of An also drew a blank.
Gu Jiao couldn’t bear the melody of the zither from behind the courtyard wall, she knocked off work early!
At this time, the four men in the house hadn’t finished school yet, Gu Jiao went to the kitchen to stew soup first, and halfway through, Mrs. Fang came.
“It’s terrible Miss, Madam has grown something strange on her body! Hurry and take a look!”
Gu Jiao minimized the fire in the stove to keep the soup warm, then she got on the carriage with Mrs. Fang and headed to the Marquis Residence.
When the Yao Family saw Gu Jiao, Mrs. Fang was scolded again: “I said I’m fine, don’t go running to Jiaojiao for everything.”
“Being cautious is always good.” Gu Jiao approached and inspected Yao Shi, “It’s eczema, it’s okay, just apply some medicine.”
Yao Shi looked at Mrs. Fang: “Didn’t I say it’s nothing? You’re making a fuss over nothing.”
Mrs. Fang let out a long sigh of relief: “Isn’t it because I was bitten by a snake once, from then on I’ve been afraid of well ropes?”
Mrs. Ling, ever since her power was taken away, had become restless, frequently visiting the courtyards of Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin. She tried too hard to win their favor, making the two brothers wish they could expel Yao Shi from the residence.
She didn’t make a move herself, planning to kill with a borrowed knife.
Mrs. Fang had been guarding against Mrs. Ling, but she was afraid she might not be able to prevent the inevitable.
Gu Jiao took a box of eczema cream from the first aid kit and handed it to Yao Shi: “If there are any problems in the future, let me know immediately.”
Caution is the parent of safety.
She didn’t mind making the extra trips.
Mrs. Fang sent Gu Jiao onto the carriage.
Gu Jiao returned to Bishui Alley.
The old lady asked: “Is your mother okay?”
Gu Jiao replied: “She’s fine.”
What even Gu Jiao didn’t expect was that while Yao Shi was indeed fine, two of her brothers had problems.
The first to show symptoms was Xiao Xiaoshun.
At dinner, Xiaoshun’s appetite wasn’t great, Gu Jiao felt him, there was no fever, so she had him go to bed early.
He suddenly woke Xiao Liulang in the middle of the night.
Xiao Liulang looked at him strangely: “What’s wrong?”
He sat up in bed and said seriously: “I’m very itchy.”
Xiao Liulang lit the oil lamp, lifted Xiaoshun’s clothes and checked, finding several transparent blisters popping on his arm and stomach.
Xiao Liulang covered him with a blanket and called Gu Jiao over.
After checking Xiaoshun, Gu Jiao made a diagnosis on the spot: “Chickenpox.”
Xiao Liulang furrowed his brows: “You mean…Chickenpox?”
Gu Jiao nodded: “Hmm, you can say that.”
Xiaoshun’s body was very healthy, who could have expected him to come down with chickenpox.
Although chickenpox wasn’t as scary as smallpox, it wasn’t easy to treat either.
“Chickenpox is contagious. Did you have chickenpox when you were little?” Gu Jiao asked Xiao Liulang.
“I had it.” Xiao Liulang said.
It was around the same age as Xiaoshun when he had chickenpox.
“What about you?” Xiao Liulang looked at Gu Jiao.
“I think I had it too.” Gu Jiao searched through the original host’s memories, she had chickenpox before the death of Gu Sanlang’s couple. She was well cared for and ultimately recovered.
“Xiaoshun doesn’t seem to have had it.” She said.
Chickenpox is contagious and it’s best not to come in contact with Xiaoshun if you haven’t had chickenpox.
“Has the old woman ever had it?” She asked Xiao Liulang.
This question was somewhat interesting.
The old lady was just a leprosy patient she casually saved, she lost her memory and couldn’t remember her past, where would Xiao Liulang know whether she had chickenpox?
Unless, she had already convinced herself that Xiao Liulang knew her a long time ago.
Xiao Liulang didn’t ask her if she had found out anything, nor did he deliberately change the subject, he just said calmly: “I don’t know.”
Indeed, he didn’t know.
Gu Jiao thought about it, it was normal, for example, she didn’t know what diseases the old master Gu had before.
She responded with an “Oh”: “Then, just to be safe, let the old woman be careful.”
This time, the chickenpox came fiercely. The next morning, Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan were also infected.
