The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

Chapter 3354: Chapter 3355: Choosing Another Opportunity

"I—"

Sixth Elder opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Isn’t this forcing them to resign? How can they do this, treating them like pawns to be summoned and dismissed at will?

"Master, does it have to be like this?"

He asked, truly unwilling to accept it. He had worked in Sky City for so many years, not only failing to put his daughter in the Junior City Lord’s wife’s position, but even losing his elder’s position?

If Shen Yuan hadn’t wanted to deal with the Junior City Lord’s wife, wouldn’t none of this have happened?

Thinking about this possibility, he turned his head and glared angrily at his daughter, really more trouble than she’s worth.

...

In the end, Elder Zhu did not answer his question and asked him to leave.

Shen Yuan naturally wasn’t punished either. She followed Sixth Elder out, seeing her father walking ahead, and she jogged to catch up.

"Dad..."

Before she could speak, there was a loud ’smack.’

Sixth Elder turned around, furious and ashamed, raising his hand to slap Shen Yuan across the face, knocking out two of her teeth and causing blood to gush out of her mouth.

Shen Yuan was stunned from the hit, covering her face and slowly looking at her father.

She had never been hit growing up, no matter how big a mistake she made, her father always cleaned up after her, never saying a harsh word to her.

But now, her father actually hit her, hit her!

"Dad, you... hit me?"

After a long while, she reacted, asking blankly.

"Hitting you is mild, I want to kill you!" Sixth Elder gritted his teeth, speaking with hatred.

He could have continued being Sixth Elder; as long as no one brought up the idea of changing elders, he’d act oblivious, thinking the Junior City Lord wouldn’t do anything to them for now.

After all, they were elders. If Sui Zimo became the Junior City Lord and replaced them, where would his dignity be?

But he never imagined his daughter would go to the City Lord’s Mansion and try to harm the Junior City Lord’s wife.

Once the Junior City Lord found out about this, it’s surely going to cause trouble for him.

"Dad!"

Hearing her father’s words, Shen Yuan wasn’t afraid; she knew her father was just being angry.

So, she furiously yelled at him too.

"I didn’t do anything wrong, it was Elder Zhu who was meddling. Without her, I’d have dealt with that woman today!"

If it weren’t for Elder Zhu, if she had tarnished the so-called Junior City Lord wife’s reputation today, she would have been the top candidate for the position.

Wasn’t it right for her to do that?

"How dare you speak!"

Sixth Elder was furious, wishing he could hit her again.

They were still not far from Elder Zhu’s place; if Elder Zhu heard this, things would not end well for them.

"More trouble than you’re worth! Couldn’t you pick another time to act? Tonight, with so many people at the City Lord’s Mansion, was it the right time for you to act against the Junior City Lord’s wife?

Fool, how could you be so stupid?!"

"But I was in such a hurry, you didn’t say you’d help me, so I had to do it myself." Shen Yuan said, exasperated.

Seeing those women, accompanied by the Junior City Lord, meeting all those family heads of noble clans, those were people she should have befriended, but instead, it was that woman who benefited.
