Old Madam Gu believes the Feng Mansion won't last more than three months. She, Brother Cheng, Sister Yu and others have always been healthy, so there's no need to trouble Doctor Liu.
Doctor Liu requested several times again, claiming that women and children are weak and need extra care; if smallpox is contracted, it would be too late then.
Nanny Rong was somewhat moved, but couldn't persuade Old Madam Gu.
Brother Cheng and Sister Yu knew this smallpox outbreak was brought by Lady Zhao, so they waited anxiously and fell silent in the main house. After hearing about it, they quietly asked Xiao Hong: if they ever got smallpox, would they be isolated in another courtyard or simply thrown out to survive on their own?
Though Old Madam Gu repeatedly assured them that as long as they strictly followed Qin Yuan's instructions, the chance of catching smallpox was extremely low, and even if they really did, they would not be dumped outside, the two children still remained gloomy all day.
