A passageway over a meter wide was left in the middle directly facing the warehouse door.

The people from the magistrate boiled hot water, and Wei Ruo asked them to boil extra ginger tea to keep everyone warm.

She then wrote a prescription for the little girl with a fever and handed it along with the money for the medicine to Hong Ping, the official guard who had just followed her, asking him to help get the medicine.

Wei Ruo gave a bit more silver, asking Hong Ping to bring back extra medicine to keep on hand. These past few days have been cold and rainy, and the little girl might not be the only one to catch a cold.

Xiumei hurried to find the nanny and asked her to deliver some supplies. They were short on blankets, food, and charcoal.

Wei Ruo instructed Xiumei to change into clean clothes after she arrived at the nanny’s place and then came back with the nanny.

Xiumei said worriedly, “But what about you, Miss?”

Wei Ruo: “I’m fine, I’ll deal with myself later.”

Xiumei: “But…”

Wei Ruo interrupted, “Hurry and return.”

Xiumei had no choice but to agree, “Alright.”

After finishing all this, Wei Ruo finally had time to ask Wei Jinyi, “Second Brother, why did you come back early?”

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

The rain covered a wide area; Huzhou Prefecture was also affected, but the situation there was much better than in Xingshan County.

Wei Jinyi probably guessed that it was also raining in Xingshan County and, due to its poor natural conditions, the situation would be quite bad.

As expected, when he arrived in Xingshan County, he found that the situation was very bad.

Originally, he was going to return to the Colonel’s Mansion first, but on the way, he encountered servants from the Wei family who were out buying supplies and learned that Wei Ruo had left the mansion.

He guessed that Wei Ruo might have gone to the south of the city, and when he went to the road out of the city, he met the county magistrate’s team escorting the people from the south of the city into the city. After inquiring, he learned that Wei Ruo was still in the south of the city, so he rushed over.

Looking at Wei Ruo’s wet clothes, Wei Jinyi said, “Come with me.”

Wei Ruo was still a bit puzzled but was then pulled by Wei Jinyi into a nearby room.

This room was a utility room with a lot of items piled up inside, but there was a clean chair with some clothes placed on it.

Wei Jinyi brought Wei Ruo into the room, then stepped outside, closing the door behind him. From outside the door, he said to Wei Ruo, “Change your shoes first.”

Wei Ruo looked into the room, where there was a newly bought pair of shoes and socks, as well as a dry towel.

Wei Ruo’s feet had been soaked while she was in the fields in the south of the city, but she was too busy taking care of the little girl and relocating the people that she didn’t pay attention.

Her feet had been soaked in water for a long time, and if left untreated, she could catch a cold, or it could be very bad for her feet.

Wei Ruo sat down, changing her shoes and socks while talking to Wei Jinyi outside the door, “Second Brother, when did you get these clean shoes and socks?”

“I asked Xiaobei to buy them.” Wei Jinyi leaned against the door, looking straight ahead.

“But how did you know my shoe size?” Wei Ruo asked again.

Women from prominent families usually have their shoes custom-made at home, so ordinary people wouldn’t know the size of their shoes.

“When you came back from the south of the city, the soles of your feet were covered in dirt and you left footprints on the ground.”

“Second Brother, you’re so attentive!” Wei Ruo praised.

Wei Jinyi outside the door didn’t respond but instead reminded her, “Once you’ve changed, if there’s nothing else here, we’ll head back to the mansion. You need to take a hot bath and change into clean clothes.”
