I Woke the Sick and Disabled Prince on Our Wedding Night

383 The Wind Rises

Although she knew that she might be in big trouble now, Lin Suisui didn’t panic at all.

After all, from her perspective, if those two spies really wanted to cause trouble, they definitely wouldn’t just send people to her medical center.

As expected, those people didn’t disappoint her in the end. Trouble came quickly afterwards.

At first, there was just a small rumor that this new medical center had received some patients with strange illnesses. However, this rumor didn’t attract much attention at first. After all, how could people never fall sick?

Since it was an illness and there were many strange things in this world, it wasn’t difficult to understand why they encountered some strange illnesses.

However, in less than half a day, this rumor slowly changed. It was said that this illness was contagious and had already been passed on to four to five people. It might be the plague, which had been spread from the border.

If it was an ordinary illness, everyone would just treat it as a joke. However, since this illness had already developed into a plague, many people couldn’t sit still anymore.

Those older people who had experienced many things before couldn’t sit still anymore after hearing this news.

The more the rumors spread, the more ridiculous they became, especially when an old woman who was an assistant at the medical center confirmed the rumors as well.

For a moment, this rumor spread throughout the entire Cloud Mountain City like a whirlwind.

“Have you found out who that woman is?” Lin Suisui sat by the window as she listened to Yuan Niang tell her about the recent developments. Then, she put down the medicine in her hand and looked up at Yuan Niang.

She had chosen everyone in the medical center.

Yuan Niang’s expression was also very ugly. She lowered her head in shame and said after a long time, “We found out that that woman is not from our medical center.

“It’s the old woman in charge of delivering food every day from the restaurant that has always cooperated with our medical center.”

At this point, Yuan Niang looked even more guilty.

She had decided on this eatery. Previously, they had been cooperating well together and the boss, who was a member of the military household, was very reliable, so who would have thought that such a thing would happen this time?

“Then what did the boss say about this?” After Lin Suisui thought about it for a moment, she gestured for Bai Guo to help Yuan Niang sit down at the side before continuing to ask seriously.

“The boss said that the old woman is a distant relative of her family and only came to work at her place last year.

“The boss said that she’s quite ignorant. She’s a good person, but she’s too talkative. The boss said that she didn’t know the severity of her words, so please be merciful and let her off.”

Yuan Niang was quite angry at the mention of this.

Although the boss had an extremely good attitude from the beginning to the end, Yuan Niang felt that there was something off.

“Did she also say that she didn’t know that mere gossip would cause so much trouble?” Lin Suisui nodded. Even if Yuan Niang didn’t say anything else, she could roughly guess what the other party said.

“She said that she has a lot of family members that need taking care of at home, so if we hold her accountable, that’ll be too ruthless, right?”

“Yes.” Yuan Niang pursed her lips and forced out a yes after a long time. Actually, even if Lin Suisui didn’t say it, she already felt that something was wrong, but now that it was pointed out, she felt…

“Alright, go over tomorrow morning and settle the rest of the payment with the boss. Let’s end our cooperation with this shop in the future!” Lin Suisui was very straightforward and didn’t intend to continue entangling with the people over there. “Then, go and tell Mrs. Luo that we’ll have to trouble her for the food at our medical center in the future.”

“Yes, I’ll deal with it tomorrow morning.” Yuan Niang nodded in agreement with Lin Sui’s decision. “Then, what should we do about those rumors?

When I came out of the medical center tonight, many people were already pointing at me. I’m worried that if I really ignore them…”

“It’s fine. Let them spread rumors for the time being.” Lin Suisui wasn’t anxious at all. She picked up the medical book at the side and flipped through it as she continued, “It’s still too early to make a move. If we reel in the net now, the big fish that’s still lingering at the edge will escape!”

Seeing that Lin Suisui had a plan, Yuan Niang was relieved. After nodding in relief, she told her what had happened in the medical center today. “Doctor Luo asked me to tell you that two people who have mild symptoms are already showing signs of waking up. If they get better, they’ll wake up in about two days.”

“Actually, I’ve never seen this kind of voodoo before. For the time being, I can only find some antidotes according to the records in this journal.” When she heard Yuan Niang mention the five merchants who had been poisoned, a trace of pity flashed across her face. “But even if they’re saved, their bodies will still be completely destroyed.

“I don’t know if the most seriously injured one can withstand the changes in his body when he wakes up.”

“After all, being alive is better than anything else.” Yuan Niang could also hear the helplessness in Lin Sui’s tone. After she thought about it for a moment, she advised in a low voice, “Among my neighbors in the past, a child’s mother had always been in poor health and her family always mocked her, especially her mother-in-law, who criticized her every day.

However, the child’s mother held on to her last breath and didn’t give up on her life. In the end, she only passed away after she saw her son and her daughter both get married.

I went to deliver something to their family once. I was still young at that time, so I didn’t know what was taboo or not. Coincidentally, her mother had a relapse at that time and coughed up blood. She was so thin that she was like a skeleton.

Seeing how anguished she was, I couldn’t help but say that it was too difficult to live like that.

When the child’s mother heard this, she took the opportunity to tell me that if possible, she definitely didn’t want to live like this. However, she still had a son and daughter. If she died, she would be free, but what about her children?

Even if she’s a cripple now, at least her two children still have a mother! But if she really dies, what will happen to the children?
