Chapter 17 Illusions
At this time, Li Xuanming's close servant hurried over and said with some complaints in his tone: "Second Miss, Aunt Qian, why are you here? The celestial phenomena are not right now. The master has already done his job in advance and returned to the mansion! Several more people in the mansion suddenly fell ill for no reason! The master asked everyone in the mansion to go to his place! The eldest girl and the eldest young master have all gone! Why are you still here?!"
Li Xuanming's personal servant always had a smile on his face and never gave Li Ling and Aunt Qian a look. Today, he was panicked, but his tone was extremely rude.
But no one cares about these trivial matters anymore!
When he heard the sentence "Several people in the mansion suddenly fell ill for no reason", Aunt Qian hurriedly grabbed Li Ling's hand nervously.
"We'll go too!" Li Ling said.
Li Ling, Aunt Qian, and Xiao Chao all rushed to the Li Mansion Courtyard.
Li Xuanming's close servant paused, and then ran helplessly to other places in Li's mansion to inform others to gather in the main courtyard.
When Li Ling and Aunt Qian walked into the gate of the main courtyard, many people had already gathered in the main courtyard.
Li Xuanming looked panicked and solemn, and he walked aimlessly in the lobby of the main hall.
An looked flustered and sat in the main hall, stood up and wanted to say something to Li Xuanming, then closed his mouth and sat down.
Li Zhi and Li Jingshu sat upright on both sides of the lobby. Li Zhi frowned and looked at Li Xuanming walking around. Li Jingshu held his long sword, his face calm and motionless.
Because the Li family had been dismissing his servants some time ago, and there were not many servants left in the Li family. At this time, there were only eight maids and servants standing quietly in the courtyard. Although there were not many people, there was a stagnant atmosphere in the main hall. All the servants and maids were either panicked or frightened.
At this time, when Li Ling and Aunt Qian walked in, the expressions of the people in the hall changed a little.
Especially after the "whipping" and "marriage granting" a few days ago, the attitudes of Anshi, Li Zhi and Li Jingshu towards Aunt Qian and Li Ling were extremely subtle.
Li Xuanming turned his head and saw Aunt Qian and Li Ling, his face turned sharp and shouted, "Why are you here until now?"
Seeing Aunt Qian and Xiao Chao in a wet clothes, Li Xuanming was about to get angry, but he noticed that Li Ling, who was silent beside Aunt Qian, thought that she was a "noble man" who was about to marry into the Eastern Palace, the fierce look on Li Xuanming's face faded. He put away his anger and said, "Why don't you sit down!"
Li Ling and Aunt Qian remained silent. They found their own seats and sat down. Xiao Chao stood behind Aunt Qian.
Not long after, a few more servants and maids arrived at the main courtyard.
Li Xuanming's personal servant ran into the main hall, panting: "Master! Everyone in the mansion has arrived. Only four people fell 'ill'"
Li Xuanming's hand trembled suddenly, but cursed: "If you are sick, you will be sick! What's the point of making a fuss! But there are only four people! So what if you get sick? There won't be a big chaos in the world? What do you know?!"
Li Xuanming's personal servant nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Li Xuanming took a few more steps and said to the panicked servant maid in the main hall: "This time, it's just an epidemic."
"It's just an epidemic." Li Xuanming never thought that one day he would think that an epidemic was not scary. No matter how terrible the epidemic was, it was not as good as the unknown fear.
"Now, there are no sick people in the mansion. Choose a few strong and strong people and carry the "sick" four people to the woodshed. Except for three meals a day, the woodshed is locked. Unless they recover, no one is allowed to see them or let them out! The epidemic will be contagious!"
"yes!"
Li Xuanming turned to Li Jingshu and asked, "Where is Master Wu?"
Li Jingshu's face was faint and she shook her head.
Li Xuanming sighed. Master Wu must have seen something wrong and went back to his own home. It seems that the Li family can't count on him at all.
Li Xuanming continued: "From today, everyone in the mansion will not leave the main courtyard except for necessary activities. First, if someone gets 'epidemic' again, it is better to send it to the woodshed as soon as possible. Wait until the rain stops, and go and invite a doctor to see the doctor together. Second, the big girl in our mansion is a serious and low-level warrior. With her in the main courtyard, no one dares to make trouble!"
"yes!"
After hearing Li Xuanming's words, the servants and maids in the mansion seemed to have a little clue in their hearts and less panic. They immediately started to take action, some began to carry patients, and some began to move daily necessities to the main hospital.
Li Lingan sat quietly in the main hall without saying a word.
When everyone was there, her second daughter, who was born in Li’s Mansion, had always had no sense of existence.
This time, Li Ling was as usual, silent as she listened to Li Xuanming's announcement of his decision loudly.
For some reason, this time in the main hall, Li Ling always felt that Li Jingshu, who was sitting opposite her, would sweep her eyes at her from time to time. When Li Ling turned to look at Li Jingshu, she found that Li Jingshu had already withdrawn her eyes and looked at her long sword, as if she would never get tired of her baby long sword.
Before Li Ling could find out Li Jingshu's thoughts, Li Xuanming had already finished giving instructions here.
Seeing the crowd of the Li family busy making a group, Li Ling was very surprised.
In the past few months, in Li Ling's eyes, Li Xuanming has always been a father who is a bit "overly biased". Li Xuanming can even do things like "impersonating the talent show". This makes Li Ling feel that Li Xuanming is really not a fair parent.
But just now, Li Xuanming defined this unknown panic of "red heavy rain, inexplicably sick" in just a few words as "epidemic disease", which eliminated the fear in the hearts of the servants. He could also properly handle the situation of the Li family at this time.
Li Ling couldn't help but think: Could this be the so-called family-management ability of ancient feudal parents?
What Li Ling didn't know was that in fact, Li Xuanming was also very confused at this time.
What Li Xuanming did just now was what the officials who worked with him said before leaving the government office. Before leaving the government office, Li Xuanming listened to the left and right words and remembered them.
Li Xuanming still remembers that an official said that, next, either wait for the situation to be clear or wait for the instructions from above.
The person who said this was Shangguan Qin Jiatai, who was very kind to Li Xuanming. However, after he finished speaking, Qin Jiatai fell on the street in front of the government office before he could go home. Now Qin Jiatai is afraid that he is still lying in the government office and has not been sent home yet.
What is all this today?!
On the day of the spring festival, the celestial phenomena changed drastically. There was a heavy red rain for no reason, and countless people fell down for no reason. They seemed unconscious, but their breath was weak, as if they were about to die.
Could it be that the end of the world that was circulated in ancient books is really coming?!
Thinking of this, Li Xuanming fought two battles. He walked slowly to the main hall and sat down weakly.
