Cheng Qing is now a commoner without an official position, but everyone in Wuhe County still calls her "Lord Cheng".

As soon as Master Cheng left, it was more than half a month, and the displaced people outside the county missed her the most, and the old refugees even took the initiative to restrain the new refugees later, even if there was a shortage of materials sometimes, the old refugees also comforted the new refugees:

"Just wait for Lord Cheng to come back!"

"That's right, Master Cheng won't leave us alone."

"Master Cheng said that if you are sick and cured, you will be given food when you are hungry, and you will not die of hunger when you arrive in Wuhe County."

As for where Lord Cheng went, it doesn't need to be said, there must be some places in Huainan that need Lord Cheng to preside over the overall situation!

When Cheng Qing was away, the homeless people became familiar with He Wan.

It happened that there were homeless people from Hongxian County who recognized He Wan as Lord Cheng's fiancée, and it was spread ten, ten and hundred, and everyone knew about it in two days.

The homeless people respect Cheng Qing, but Cheng Qing is not there, but they left their fiancée to help everyone, and they also respect He Wan.

When Cheng Qing returned to Wuhe County, there were homeless people kowtowing to Cheng Qing along the way.

Cheng Qing had no intention of acting.

He is critically ill!

There are more and more displaced people outside Wuhe County, although Cheng Zhixu is following Cheng Qing's measures to prevent and treat the epidemic, the people who are infected with the epidemic can still only survive six or seven out of ten. This cure rate is already very high, if you leave the epidemic alone, a time epidemic is really ten rooms and nine empty!

Cheng Zhixu has to prepare military supplies, manage the displaced people, and prevent the epidemic, and he is really short of manpower.

Rong Jiu originally wanted to go to the front line, but he was arrested by Cheng Zhixu and stayed in Wuhe County, He Lao Yuan was old, watching the number of displaced people outside the city increasing day by day, and he also knew the pressure of Cheng Zhixu.

The old man also wanted to help.

In the end, he is old and his resistance is not high, and he has helped for a few days, although he has been very careful, he still contracted the epidemic.

The doctors tried their best to treat him, but Mr. He became more and more sick day by day, and after a few days, he entered a dying state yesterday.

He Wan is a strong little lady, she dares to show her head to do business, dares to form a caravan to help Wuhe County transport supplies, and is a little calm when she encounters a scarf thief...... The only loved one who loved her and sheltered her was critically ill, and He Wan really couldn't hold on.

When Cheng Qing returned to Wuhe County, the displaced people were very excited, but no one dared to delay Cheng Qing's time.

Cheng's fiancée and his fiancée's elderly grandfather have fallen ill one after another in order to help everyone.

The doctors all said that Old Man He couldn't hold on, and Master Cheng rushed back to see the old man for the last time, and whoever delayed Lord Cheng at this time and let Master Cheng leave regrets was a sinner.

Cheng Qing rode a horse and galloped into the city, He Wan held back her tears when she saw her: "You go with me to see my grandfather, he dragged and refused to close his eyes, maybe he didn't worry about you, but when he saw you, his wish was over, so that his old man could walk with peace of mind." ”

If it can be saved, He Wan is willing to scatter all her family wealth to save her grandfather's life.

It really can't be saved, the old man was tortured by illness to the point that there was only a handful of bones left, and He Wan couldn't bear to look at it.

Cheng Qing nodded.

Both of them took protective measures before going to see Mr. He.

The old man was in a dying state yesterday, he was already confused, and he couldn't even recognize He Wan standing in front of him, Cheng Qing shouted a few old men, but He Lao Wai slowly opened his eyes, trying to see her clearly.

"Xiao, Xiaolang."

The old man recognized Cheng Qing.

He kept crying, didn't know what to say, and couldn't make a slurred sentence in his mouth.

Cheng Qing drove everyone away, including the doctor who treated Old Man He, and knelt beside the bed:

"Grandpa He, my grandfather died before I was born, and I don't know what it's like to have a grandfather's love, I returned to Nanyi County to meet you, thanks to your blue eyes, maintenance everywhere, you are the same as the fifth uncle, I am treated as a grandfather, I know that you can not rest assured of me, and even more relieved of Wan Niang...... Grandpa He, Wan Niang is very good in my heart, you want to marry Wan Niang to me, I lied to you when I said that I had a sweetheart, I can't marry Wan Niang, because I am also a woman. ”

Cheng Qing didn't care how Old Man He and He Wan felt when they heard it.

Now there are only four people who know the secret of Cheng Qing's gender, she is the daughter of the Liu family, and the Liu family knows.

Old man Li knew.

Since Old Man Li knows, it's strange that Mr. Zhang doesn't know.

There is also a little rock, because his ears are too good, and he accidentally heard this secret.

Cheng Qing took the initiative to tell only Old Man He.

The old man saw that he couldn't do it, and Cheng Qing didn't want to let Old Man He go with regrets.

He Wan couldn't let go of the old man the most, he was afraid that after he passed away, He Wan would be bullied as an orphan girl.

He Wan was so shocked that she didn't know what to say for a while.

Cheng Qing continued to kneel beside Old Man He's bed and swore an oath: "I am a woman, so I can't marry Wanniang, but I can take care of Wanniang." Now everyone knows that Wan Niang is my fiancée, I will be responsible for Wan Niang, we are nominally a fiancé, but in fact we get along with each other as sisters, with my Cheng Qing day of peace, I will protect Wan Niang's sister for a day of peace, and when he day Wan Niang's sister finds a lover who can be entrusted for life, I will dissolve the 'marriage contract' with Wan Niang's sister, she is married, I am her mother's family! ”

"Cheng Xiaolang...... No, Cheng Qing ......"

He Wan was already incoherent.

He didn't expect such a thing.

All the previous incomprehension and regrets were relieved at this moment.

What's more important is that Cheng Qing is willing to tell him and Wanniang such a secret, and the old man can't raise any doubts about Cheng Qing's promise.

Old man He stopped crying, and his pale face had a ruddy glow.

Probably returning to the light, he spoke a lot more neatly.

"Don't be sad, the old man has been busy making money in business all his life, and he only realized some truth before he died, just enough silver...... You all have to be good, rich as clouds, you support each other, you want to grow old in peace, and you want children and grandchildren to be full. Wanniang, don't cry, grandpa has gone to see your parents. ”

After saying this, the old man passed away suddenly.

Illness tormented his body and mind, and in the last moments of his life, he found peace.

"Grandpa!"

He Wan howled and cried.

Cheng Qing also burst into tears.

The first time Cheng Qing saw He Lao Yuan was in the spring of the sixth year of Chengping, at the door of Cheng's second room, orphans and widows helped the soul to return to her hometown, she worked step by step, carefully calculated, and just wanted to find a chance to survive.

Outside the old man He, who had never known him, he stood up in the crowd and spoke up for Cheng Qing's family, orphans and widows.

At the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. He bought the lanterns donated by Cheng Qing to build momentum for Cheng Qing.

Cheng Qing wanted to save a dowry for her sisters, but Old Man He took care of her openly and secretly, so that she could save enough capital.

The old man likes her, is optimistic about her, trusts her, and wants to marry her most precious granddaughter......

Cheng Qing supported He Wan, who was crying until she choked.

"Cry, cry out all the discomfort, wipe away your tears after crying, and in the future, like Grandpa He said, we will all be fine and grow old safely."

In the tenth year of Chengping, Nanyi's wealthy businessman He Lao died of illness in Wuhe County, and his granddaughter He Wan was so sad that she couldn't get up.
