February 20th.

Without any realization, more than half of February has already passed.

The epidemic is finally drawing to a close.

Because of the timely management and effective measures, the spread of the disease was well controlled. It did not spread outside Taizhou Prefecture and also minimized the casualty figures.

With the recovery of the last patient, people like Wei Ruo could finally rest.

However, they were not yet able to return home, needing to stay at the small courtyard for a few more days to ensure no one amongst them was infected.

Finding some leisure time, Wei Ruo’s first task was to sleep in, only reluctantly waking up when her belly started grumbling with hunger at high noon.

Today’s meal was not brought in by Madam Yuan from the Family residence, but was cooked by Xiumei.

“I have cooked some homestyle dishes for the young master and the doctors and also prepared some good wine.” Xiumei said.

No one had drunk wine in the past few days because all the wine was used for washing hands.

“Is it that good wine brought by your young master?” Doctor Cheng asked hurriedly.

The wine was truly fragrant, but at that time no one thought about it, pouring wine all over their hands, bodies, and clothes, without taking a single sip.

“Yes. When there was only half a jar from my young master’s good wine left, Sister Qingyi knew we needed more white wine, she then sent a few jars of good wine over from the prefecture’s office, as a result, the half jar from my young master was left behind.” Xiumei explained.

“Come, come, let me taste the good wine that your young master has been keeping!” Doctor Cheng said laughingly, already impatient.

Everyone else also joined in.

Not that everyone was excessively fond of drinking, but after being busy for more than twenty days, they finally saw a clear sky after a long overcast period, so there was a need to celebrate, and drinking was just for the occasion.

Sitting together with good food and wine, Wei Ruo naturally also drank a little, although not excessively, merely tasting a few glasses, accompanying everyone in their joy.

Wei Jinyi still didn’t touch a drop, being the only one among them who didn’t.

However, he was also affected by the joyful atmosphere of everyone else, especially Wei Ruo’s. He could feel the laughter that she emitted from the depths of her heart, that kind of lighthearted joyful feeling.

Her open laughter was a stark contrast to her demeanor when facing family at home.

###

On February 22nd, everyone could finally leave the small courtyard.

Magistrate Yuan sent someone to escort all the doctors home, while Wei Ruo was first taken to the residence by Madam Yuan. After freshening up and changing her clothes, Madam Yuan then sent her back to the Military Prefecture.

When sending Wei Ruo onto the carriage, Madam Yuan told her, “I’ve already spoken with your family. During these past few days, you have been at my residence helping me manage and coordinate all affairs related to the epidemic.”

Upon hearing this, something warmed inside Wei Ruo. This was Madam Yuan’s way of helping her. She made sure that her absence was justified during these days while giving credit to her identity as Wei Qingruo.

“Thank you, Madam.”

“No need for thanks. This is indeed your accomplishment. I am merely changing the method of explanation and there is no exaggeration in it at all.” Madam Yuan said.

Wei Ruo and Madam Yuan looked at each other and laughed. Madam Yuan said, “Alright, go home quickly, rest well for a few days, look at you, you’ve become severely thin.”
