“How could this be? This is Mother’s wish. As her daughter, of course, I should accept it with a smile. Qingxin, please take good care of the masters and don’t mistreat them.”

“Yes.”

After saying this, Gu Yunru walked into the house with an expressionless face.

The wedding day was approaching, and Madam Gu was afraid that Gu Yunru would suddenly disappear, so she had so many people watching her. She thought everything was going smoothly until she married into the Wang Family, but she didn’t expect a problem to arise on that very night.

“What happened? How did she get smallpox?!”

Gu Junyao and her sisters followed their mother to the Pavilion Garden, wanting to watch the show.

Qingxin pulled the bed curtain and bowed to Madam Gu, saying, “Madam, this disease is contagious. You must not get too close. Miss is now running a high fever, coughing incessantly, and her nose won’t stop running. She looks terrible. We have already invited a doctor, but even the doctor doesn’t dare to get close. What should we do? The Prince’s welcoming procession will arrive tomorrow.”

“I saw her just fine during the day. How did she suddenly fall ill and get this disease? It’s really bad luck!”

Madam Gu didn’t believe it and took a step forward. Qingxin stretched out her arms to block her, looking scared, “Madam, you must not get close. The way Miss looks might scare you.”

“Get out of my way. Can’t I care for my daughter a little?”

Qingxin lowered her head and had no choice but to step aside.

The moment Madam Gu approached the bed, she was shocked and almost vomited on the spot. She saw that Gu Yunru’s face was covered in pus-filled blisters, her nose kept running, and her forehead was covered in red spots of varying sizes, which was very frightening.
