Chapter 153 Smallpox
There was a storm in the capital, and the Liu family was also in trouble.
Early in the morning, when the servants came into the house to wait on her, they noticed something was wrong with Liu Qin.
My whole body was burning badly, my face was red, and there was a rash on my face.
The doctor will come soon.
As soon as he was diagnosed, his face changed drastically.
“It's smallpox!”
“Smallpox?”
The surrounding servants suddenly panicked.
Liu's father and Liu He happened to hear this when they arrived, and they paused as they entered the house.
The two of them stepped back a few steps in tacit agreement.
“Seal up the yard!”
Liu He ordered to go down.
The servants in the house were naturally not allowed to come out, and even the doctor could only stay in the house temporarily.
Fortunately, there has been a cure for smallpox for a long time, so the doctor is not panicking.
But the servants were confused.
There are still people who want to break out.
“If someone wants to run away, once he is caught, he will be maimed and sold out.”
Liu He's expression was gloomy, and these words made everyone dare not have the slightest idea of escape.
“Isn't this a little too coincidental?”
Liu's father didn't know what he was thinking, and he came up with this idea for no reason.
After all, Liu Qin had escaped before, and they hadn't found out who saved Liu Qin. Now he got smallpox inexplicably. It was too much of a coincidence.
Liu He had the same idea. After pondering for a moment, he asked the boy to call another doctor.
When he learned that smallpox was to be diagnosed, the doctor was unwilling to go in. He stood outside the courtyard gate and refused.
“Oops!”
A cold light flashed, and a sharp blade was pressed against the doctor's neck.
Liu He raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at the doctor with a half-smile: "If you don't want to go in..."
“Young Master Liu… Master Liu, the sword has no eyes. I'll just go in.”
The doctor was trembling all over, and his lips turned white instantly.
He walked into the house with empty feet.
Soon, the doctor's diagnosis was made.
It was indeed smallpox.
The two doctors both said it was smallpox, but it was really just a coincidence.
Liu He played with the long sword in his hand, swinging the sword, which turned out to be a soft sword.
He put the soft sword back to his waist and said coldly: "But she did get smallpox by chance. If she doesn't get better in two days, I'm afraid the Xu family won't let her get married."
“What should we do?”
Liu's father asked.
Obviously, in the Liu family, Liu He is the one in charge.
Liu He thought for a moment and chuckled, "What can we do? It's such a big matter, so naturally we need to have a good talk with Master Xu."
After receiving the news from the Liu family, Xu Zhian paused while eating the pastries.
He muttered: "Isn't it because the Liu family doesn't want to get married and they deliberately made an excuse?"
He wiped the cake crumbs on his hands on the boy's body and stood up. As a result, the wound was affected, which made him whimper in pain.
“Master, be careful.”
The boy quickly stretched out his hand to support Xu Zhian.
Xu Zhian looked at the gauze all over his body and felt annoyed again.
If he knew who drugged him, he would definitely 'entertain' that person well!
“Go to Liu's house.”
“Master, didn't I tell you not to go out these days?”
The boy spoke cautiously.
Xu Zhian raised his leg and kicked the young man away. The young man was very skillful and rolled to the ground, then hurriedly sat up on his knees.
“I'm going out, do you still want to stop me?”
“The little ones don't dare.”
The boy lowered his head and saw Xu Zhian's figure walking past. He quickly stood up and followed.
Mr. Xu said he couldn't go out, but the servants of the Xu family dared to stop Xu Zhian.
Xu Zhian was a bit more dignified and didn't walk down the street as struttingly as usual. After all, he wouldn't look good when he walked out like this.
Hence, Xu Zhian could hardly sit in the sedan calmly.
The Xu family's sedan was walking on the street, so naturally no one dared to mess with it.
After a while, we arrived at Liu's house.
Liu He, who had received the news early, was waiting at the door and was stunned for a moment when he saw the sedan approaching.
Why did Master Xu sit in a sedan chair today?
Liu He understood clearly when he saw Xu Zhian's figure getting off the sedan.
With this look, it's no wonder that Master Xu is no longer walking outside.
“Master Xu.”
Liu He stepped forward as if he hadn't seen him.
Xu Zhian's injuries were not serious at all. In addition, he wore thick winter clothes, so the only place where he could actually see the gauze was on his face.
It's just that he was already fat, and the gauze was wrapped around him, making him look even fatter.
“Liuhe, I heard that your sister is sick. I came to take a look.”
Xu Zhian looked at Liu He and didn't realize that he meant to laugh at him, so he nodded with satisfaction.
He reached out and patted Liu He on the back and said, "After your sister marries me, you will be my brother-in-law. Our family doesn't speak the same language, so don't lie to me on purpose?"
“Master Xu, we are getting married, what did I lie to you for?”
Facing Xu Zhian, Liu He's attitude was somewhat humble.
But the disdain in those eyes was well hidden.
“To be honest, my sister had smallpox.”
“Smallpox?”
Xu Zhian frowned, but there was gauze on his forehead. With this wrinkle, the gauze also wrinkled.
He quickly took a few steps back, "You don't have one, do you?"
“Master Xu, don't worry, if I had it, how could I still be standing here?”
Liu He generously let Xu Zhian look him over. The latter nodded in understanding, but still kept some distance from Liu He.
Arrived at Liu Qin's yard.
Seeing the decoration outside, Xu Zhi'an murmured in his heart, did Liu Qin really have smallpox?
Of course he didn't dare to go in and take a look. If he really got it, wouldn't it be infected with him?
“What did the doctor say?”
Xu Zhian looked at Liuhe.
Liu He looked troubled, "There are two doctors who are treating my sister inside, but Master Xu also knows that it is smallpox. Maybe it will take two days, but I'm afraid it won't be cured."
"Of course I know." Xu Zhian snorted, "She has smallpox, and I can't marry her before she recovers. Let's get married when she recovers."
“Everyone listens to Master Xu.”
Liu He's flattering words greatly benefited Xu Zhian.
He was about to turn around and leave when he saw a window being pushed open, facing Liu Qin's rash-covered face.
This time, Xu Zhian no longer had any doubts.
Liu Qin looks like that, and he wouldn't even believe it wasn't smallpox!
Xu Zhian shook his body, and for a moment it was difficult to connect Liu Qin with the appearance he had seen before.
He actually didn't want to get married.
"Master Xu, smallpox can be easily cured today, so you don't have to worry. When my sister is cured, our Liu family will definitely clean her up and send her to the Xu family."
Liu He seemed to regard Liu Qin as an object, without any sibling affection.
For him, Liu Qin's only role is to seek benefits for him and the Liu family.
“You are very good at talking. I heard that you are going to participate in the Spring Festival?”
Xu Zhian glanced at Liu He. He rarely met such an intelligent boy.
Liu He smiled and replied: "I'm not talented, I just want to try my luck."
“Don't worry, if you do well in the exam, our Xu family will definitely arrange a good position for you when the time comes.”
Xu Zhian said this and raised his head, feeling very proud.
Liu He followed suit and said, "Then I'd like to thank Young Master Xu first."
