Doctor Liu carried the carrier pigeon into the house, and before long, he opened the window again and let it out.
The pigeon cooed softly a few times, then fluttered its wings and flew out of the courtyard.
No one knew of any of this.
Qin Mansion.
Mrs.Cui and the others had long received the news that the Marquis Mansion was closed to all visitors, which already made them uneasy; unexpectedly, not long after, they heard that the Dingbei Marquis Mansion had requested to seal their doors as well.
Mrs.Cui grew anxious and asked Qin Jijiu, "Is this serious?"
Qin Jijiu stroked his beard, unable to say much, merely replied, "The blessed are looked after by Heaven. I reckon the General's fate is tough, and Yuan'er is a lucky one—there should be no trouble."
Mrs.Cui sighed, "How could smallpox appear so suddenly? To request to seal the mansion, is this to let life or death be decided by fate?"
Qin Jijiu sighed as well.
