Free Web NovelChapter 3342: Chapter 3343: Earning Her Own Respect
Yin Baiqing raised his hand and touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Alright, I’ll train with you."
Previously, he had pledged to everyone that he would protect Little Marrow and never let him be abducted like Brother-in-law Zimo. Surely, he couldn’t break his word?
Therefore, training mustn’t stop; it should be as routine as eating and sleeping, and done diligently.
This way, he could become stronger and protect Little Marrow in the future, right?
...
The day when Sui Zimo and Lin Caisang would enter the City Lord’s Mansion had finally arrived.
To let the citizens celebrate alongside the City Lord’s Mansion, Lu Tianlan had even ordered notices to be posted, highlighting the circumstances of how his son had disappeared, and pointing out Lu Tianfeng’s malicious intent.
The citizens were fortunate that the Junior City Lord was blessed and unharmed, and they believed he was certainly under a lucky star, narrowly escaping danger to enjoy greater fortune.
Forgive them for being full of praise for the Junior City Lord’s spouse. After all, she’s the most esteemed apothecary in their hearts, isn’t she?
With the Junior City Lord’s spouse around, the citizens would have someone to turn to for help with any troublesome afflictions, wouldn’t they?
"I heard that the Junior City Lord’s wife is an apothecary, a very skilled one at that?"
"Certainly. The City Lord’s wife’s issue of not conceiving was uncovered by the Junior City Lord’s wife. It is said that even before the City Lord acknowledged the Junior City Lord, he had great trust in the Junior City Lord’s wife."
"So talented, no wonder the City Lord and his wife are so fond of the Junior City Lord’s wife. I heard they visit Commander Lin’s house to see her frequently. Is that true?"
"It is indeed true. I even saw it a couple of days ago. Wow, they brought a lot of supplements over. I reckon Commander Lin’s house is nearly full!"
"For sure, when a family has an apothecary daughter-in-law that talented, who wouldn’t be thrilled? Who wouldn’t cherish her?"
While there are many apothecaries, truly skilled ones are few and far between, especially after Lu Tianfeng stirred trouble in Hai Ku Forest; the apothecaries’ numbers dwindled even more.
Thus, skilled apothecaries are exceptionally valuable.
"Humph!"
At the corner of the street, a young lady in a red dress snapped her whip violently, her face was full of gloom.
"What a joke, it’s just an apothecary. As long as there’s money, isn’t it easy to find one? Just an unremarkable woman who came from the desolate lands trying to compete with me for the Junior City Lord? She really knows how to boost her own reputation!"
Previously, when the Junior City Lord hadn’t been recovered, her father thought her future prospects were dim, so he arranged another marriage for her. She agreed, yet demanded to find the very best.
But now the Junior City Lord had returned and was of similar age. Naturally, she was determined to marry him!
"Miss is right, what is that woman worth? Miss, you’re the beloved daughter of the Sixth Elder. Comparing you with that second-rate woman is an insult to your status."
Beside her, her maid trembled at the sight of the whip in her mistress’s hand.
Regardless of whether her words were insincere, she only spoke what her mistress liked to hear, fearing that should her mistress be displeased, she’d be lashed.
She had served her mistress for quite some time, suffering several lashes unjustly when things went awry, without any wrongdoing of her own.
