Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Caixiu’s mother composed herself, harboring no anger. She sat there peacefully, having come primarily to make an appearance and see if she could engage with the county magistrate later. As for Yan Danqiu, she reasoned it could wait for another time.

Her son’s status as one of the rare Elementary Scholars held promising prospects for the Imperial Examination and potential future officialdom. Even the county magistrate, recognizing his significance, would have to show respect. The thought of possible encounters with influential figures in the future filled Jiang Caixiu’s mother with confidence.

She patiently awaited the right moment to speak.

Desiring to approach, she found herself blocked by Lianhua, and the individuals accompanying the county magistrate appeared formidable. Despite the extended wait, no opportune moment presented itself.

As the banquet concluded, Jiang Caixiu’s mother contemplated approaching, but circumstances intervened. The county magistrate, along with Yan Danqiu’s family, detained them, expressing a desire for a private discussion.

Feeling somewhat unfortunate, Jiang Caixiu’s mother reluctantly withdrew.

She decided to bide her time until Caixiu’s return.

After everyone departed, Yan Danqiu took his seat and inquired respectfully, “Manager Lin, the county magistrate, and this Young Master, what is it that you wish to discuss with me?”

Manager Lin chuckled, sidestepping a direct answer as he introduced, “This is the young master of the Lin Family’s pharmacy.”

“…”

“Your ginseng and dragon root are exceptional. The boss is highly satisfied. We hope you can continue providing them gradually. There’s no specific quantity requirement; we simply want consistent production.”

“…”

“Today, the young master has brought the county magistrate to express support for you.”

“…”

“From now on, no one in your North Village will dare to harass your family. If they do, just seek assistance from the county magistrate.”

“….”

“With these distractions out of the way, you must focus on your work. The success of the ginseng and dragon root will depend on your efforts,” Manager Lin elaborated.

The county magistrate chuckled on the sidelines.

The young master mentioned by Manager Lin remained silent.

Gu Chaoyan finally grasped the situation.

Expressing her gratitude, she said, “Thank you, Young Master, and thank you, County Magistrate.”

“I intend to cultivate the ginseng and dragon root diligently. However, there may not be an abundance of them in the future. Nevertheless, I will take proper care of the newly planted ones. Additionally, I’ll regularly venture into the mountains to find them for you. If you’re fortunate, you may encounter these items more frequently,” Gu Chaoyan shared sincerely.

Manager Lin didn’t press her; he simply nodded in satisfaction.

Gu Chaoyan felt a bit apprehensive, considering the support they were receiving.

“I’ll send over some ginseng and dragon root tomorrow morning as well,” she added.

“Alright, it’s getting late. We should return,” Manager Lin remarked.

Yan Danqiu’s family bid them a respectful farewell.

After they departed in the carriage, Manager Lin and the county magistrate returned.

Leaving the family behind, Auntie Lianhua was even more apprehensive. “Danqiu, why are the county magistrate and manager showing you so much respect?”

“Although Father is no longer with us, our family’s foundation remains. This is only natural. It’s just that the people in the old house lack foresight and fail to see it,” Yan Danqiu explained.
