Chapter 709 - 706: Ranting_1
Knowing this information, Bai Qingyan felt both irritated and reminded of the great epidemic in Jiaozhou back in those days.
During the great epidemic in Jiaozhou, the Emperor first sealed off the city. When the epidemic became uncontrollable, those court officials, who lived off the people’s taxes, also came up with the idea to kill all the infected people in Jiaozhou, cutting off the epidemic completely.
If it weren’t for her aunt, Bai Suqiu, feeling compassionate and volunteering to enter Jiaozhou, and her father personally leading the Bai family army to escort her aunt into the city, the people of Jiaozhou would have been killed and burned to the ground long ago.
Though the people of Jiaozhou were saved, her aunt never made it out alive.
Bai Qingyan closed her eyes, just hoping that an official would come up with a prescription to cure the epidemic soon.
"On this ancestral worship day, have Mother and Aunt returned?" Bai Qingyan asked again.
"No, Eldest Young Lady, they haven’t."
Bai Qingyan had been claiming to be ill and refrained from seeing any guests. Given her severe injuries, attending the ancestral worship was naturally out of the question.
