"Ah, then why are you only coming to see me now..." Su Yi asked, surprised and puzzled.
"I'm not in charge of your treatment, and I've been completely tied up these past few days. But now, I have a task that requires me to come over, so here I am."
"A task?"
"Yes, it's to collect the scabs formed from the pustules that have come off your body," Lien Yurou explained. "Collecting this is used for researching how to prevent and treat smallpox."
"What's there to research about that stuff? It's disgusting."
"It might seem worthless to you, but for us, it has value. Not just for you; anyone who has caught smallpox and recovered needs to have it collected. You're just recovering a bit faster," Lien Yurou replied. "This task was assigned to me by the young master."
"Young master? Yurou, are you serving someone as a servant?"
