The City Lord's Wife and the other madams exchanged a glance. If they had dared to go to the Old Lady's yard, they would have gone earlier and would not have come here!
Smallpox is no joke, one misstep and it could cost a life; they certainly did not wish to die. Coming here to confront them was to give these people trouble.
At the same time, they were here on orders to see what was really going on.
How come only the Old Lady's people had fallen ill? The Second Lady's group was perfectly fine. They suspected someone might have poisoned them.
Of course, everyone knew that the Old Lady's people had come down with smallpox, and a doctor had been called, but everyone was afraid and dared not go see them!
Even the doctors said they were powerless, a situation that filled people with dread!
The doctors said that an incurable disease meant someone had deliberately infected the Old Lady!
