The middle of the warehouse main entrance was left with a passage over a

meter wide.

The people in the government office boiled hot water, Wei Ruo asked them to prepare some extra ginger tea to warm all up.

She then wrote a prescription for the little girl who had a fever, together with the money for medicine, handed it over to Hong Ping, the government official who had just followed her, and asked him to help get the medicine prepared.

Wei Ruo specially gave some extra silver taels, asking Hong Ping to prepare some extra and reserve it. These days have been windy and rainy, it was likely not only the little girl would catch a cold.

Xiumei rushed to find the wet nurse, asking her to transport some goods here.

They were short of blankets, food, and charcoal for fire.

Wei Ruo instructed Xiumei to change into clean clothes after she had arrived at the wet nurse’s, then come back together with her.

Xiumei said with concern, “What about you, miss?”

Wei Ruo: “I’m fine. I’ll see to it later.”

Xiumei: “But…”

Wei Ruo interrupted: “Go now and return quickly.

Xiumei had no choice but to comply: “Alright.

After attending to these matters, Wei Ruo finally found some time to ask Wei jinyi: “Second Brother, how come you came back early?

“It’s been raining for several days, and I had a feeling that something might happen in Xingshan County.” said Wei Jinyi.

The area affected by this rain was vast, Huzhou Prefecture was also within it, but the situation there was a lot better than in Xingshan County.

Wei Jinyi must have guessed that Xingshan County was also affected by the rain, and due to insufficient natural protections, the situation would turn worse.

And so it was, when he arrived in Xingshan County, he found the situation was very bad.

Initially he wanted to go to the Military Prefecture first, but on the way, he ran into a servant from Wei Residence who was out buying supplies, and learned that Wei Ruo was not at home.

He then guessed that Wei Ruo might have gone to the southern part of the city, and sure enough, on his way out of the city, he met the team of the county government escorting citizens from the south into the city. Upon enquiry, it turned out that Wei Ruo was still in the southern part of city, so he hastened to join her there.

Looking at Wei Ruo’s soaked clothes, Wei Jinyi said: “Come with me.

Wei Ruo was somewhat confused, but was already pulled by Wei Jinyi into a nearby room.

This room was a storage room full of miscellaneous items, but a clean chair had been placed in it, and on top of the chair were some clothes.

Wei Jinyi took Wei Ruo into the room and then returned to the door, shutting it behind him. Through the door, he said to Wei Ruo inside: “Change your shoes first.”

Wei Ruo looked inside the room to see a pair of newly bought socks and shoes,

as well as a dry towel.

Wei Ruo’s shoes had soaked through when she was in the southern fields, but she had been too busy caring for the little girl and organizing the people, and hadn’t had time for anything else.

Wei Ruo’s feet had soaked in water, leaving them like that, even if she didn’t catch a cold, it wouldn’t be good for her feet either.

Wei Ruo sat down and while changing her socks and shoes, she asked Wei Jinyi outside the door: “Second Brother, when did you arrange for these clean socks and shoes?”

“Xiaobei bought them.” Wei Jinyi, leaning against the door, avoided her gaze.
