The Divine Doctor And A Common Farmer-Chapter 1498 - 1582: The Lian Family’s Third Young Lady

"Bah, bah, bah! These charlatans of the world are truly nothing good!"

The young lady felt unfortunate at the mention of this matter; she was indeed quite unlucky! The little maid next to her advised, "Miss Liansan, you mustn’t quarrel with a nun. You see, you’re healthy and strong, and she’s merely speaking nonsense."

"Hmph!"

Miss Liansan still felt a bit uneasy.

Shu Yu and Dong Huiying were not far from there; the conversation between the master and servant reached their ears, but they seemed not to care.

Shu Yu was holding her spouse, about to head to their residence, but at that moment, the master-servant pair brought up another matter. Miss Liansan said, "The Zhu family once prospered thanks to my Lian family, and now they have caught the favor of a concubine and begin to forget their roots? Still, Zhu De made a fool of himself today, bringing shame to the name of the Zhu family. Truly, a servant is just a servant, no matter what time, even if clinging to the higher-ups, she remains a servant!"

"Miss Liansan, you mustn’t speak such words; beware of disaster from the mouth!"

"What is there to fear? Isn’t what I said true!?"

This Miss Liansan had quite a temper, and the humbled maid frowned but sighed bitterly inside with helplessness. It’s no wonder the Lian family declined so quickly; ever since the old master passed away, the legitimate Miss Liansan took charge. Lian San is foolish, her reputation as a dimwit is widely known. Let’s not speak of distant matters, but of the present.

The Lian family was originally one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families of Nanling, while the Zhu family, although slightly weaker, did indeed serve the Lian family in their ancestors’ time, gaining recognition from the Lian family to establish such a sizable enterprise.

Yet times have changed, and now who doesn’t know in Nanling City? The Zhu family’s esteemed guest has significant background; as long as the guest provides support, it’s only a matter of time before the Zhu family dominates Nanling.

In such times, the Wang family, also one of the Four Great Aristocratic Families, has already sent expensive gifts to curry favor with and befriend the Zhu family, while the Lian family has clearly declined, yet Liansan still fails to see the situation, dare to make such remarks. If outsiders learn of this, if this reaches the ears of the Zhu family, the Zhu family will surely not let it rest.

Liansan was completely unaware of the little maid’s worry and even oblivious that the maid who she thought was loyal was actually feigning compliance while opposing internally. She drunkenly mumbled, "What’s there to fear? Though mother’s gone, she left me a way out; back then, the woman from the Capital..." Suddenly, she clamped her mouth shut and hurriedly glanced around.

This wine, indeed, an intoxicating poison; drinking too much is not good. She nearly let slip a secret. Mother had exhorted her numerous times before dying, instructing her to bury this matter deep within, unless the Lian family truly runs out of luck, never to mention this to anyone.

"Alright, alright, let’s go, return to the residence!" Liansan waved her hand uneasily and swaggered forward. The little maid noticed nothing unusual and immediately followed, while Liansan, despite displaying an air of arrogance, was exceedingly timid at heart, appearing cowardly and eager to grow wings to fly back to the Lian family to seek refuge.

After the master and servant pair left, Shu Yu emerged from the shadows carrying her spouse.

Dong Huiying watched the direction where Miss Liansan and her maid departed, slightly furrowing her brows.

Back then, the Capital, Lian family’s way out...

She pondered for a long time, then exchanged a glance with Shu Yu.

Shu Yu contemplated, "It seems we need to investigate this Nanling Lian family thoroughly."
