The Herbal Scents of Farm Life
Chapter 96 - 96 96 Must Be on Guard

Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Must Be on Guard Chapter 96: Chapter 96: Must Be on Guard In the Gong Family’s study, Old Master Gong was currently in a rage. In the courtyard next to his rebellious son’s house, eight female corpses had been unearthed. For a merchant family like his, and for Qianlin County, this was a shocking scandal.

If things went wrong, his entire family could end up in jail, never to rise again!

And all of this chaos was brought about by Lin Caisang. If she hadn’t been so nosy and inquisitive, none of this would have happened. Even if the corpses had decayed to their bare bones, no one would have discovered them.

“Exactly, master, that doctor Liu is too meddlesome. Why would she turn our family’s situation into such a mess while she’s supposed to treat her patients?” A middle-aged woman dressed in luxurious clothing chimed in after hearing his words.

“In my opinion, that doctor Liu did it on purpose, master. Could it be that the other families in town, unwilling to see you monopolize business, purposely engaged doctor Liu to deal with you?”

“Hmm, hss!”

Upon hearing the woman’s words, Old Master Gong drew in a sharp breath and felt that it made sense.

Otherwise, why would Lin Caisang deliberately rival against the Gong Family? They had no past grievances, no resentments, it might really be those old fools deliberately trying to trip him up!

“Are you suggesting that the woman did it on purpose?” He looked at the woman and asked.

“Exactly, if she didn’t do it on purpose, then what did she do?”

Seeing that her master finally looked at her with interest, the woman felt even more encouraged. She waved the handkerchief in her hand, her face revealing a malicious look.

“Otherwise, why would she ignore the other families and only pursue ours? Don’t forget that Doctor Liu is a stranger. How would she know about the Gong, Chen, and Li Families without someone guiding her?

Master, this woman is undoubtedly a disaster. We must be on guard!”

“This…”

Old Master Gong’s face stiffened, he felt her words struck a chord.

With Lin Caisang’s intentional targeting, it’s clear this was done on purpose. If he continued to sit idly by, wouldn’t he just allow her to slaughter him?

“So, what do you suggest we do?”

Being indecisive, he asked the woman.

“Or, we could send a few people and have her…” The woman raised her hand, made a throat-slitting motion, and looked at Old Master Gong.

“Hss!”

Old Master Gong gasped and shook his head, repeatedly.

“No, no, even though that woman is targeting me, she is the one who put up the announcement. If she dies, who is going to treat the townspeople?”

Of course, treating the townspeople was secondary. The most important thing was that his family members needed treatment too. Other than him, there were hardly any healthy individuals left in the Gong family.

If things continued this way, was he supposed to watch as everyone in his family died?

Even if he didn’t care about his family, people were getting sick at home, and he couldn’t leave. What if he got infected?

Therefore, Lin Caisang absolutely could not be harmed.

“Master, you… I really don’t know what to say to you anymore. Do you really believe that a young girl like that could cure everyone in our town? Does she have that ability?”

The woman said again.

“I think that woman is just here to cause trouble. She doesn’t genuinely understand medicine and is an amateur even if she did know. Haven’t you seen how she’s dressed, master?”

“This…”

Old Master Gong’s heart wavered, he didn’t know what to do.

“Master, please stop hesitating. If you continue hesitating, our family is going to be ruined. Right now, it’s only the Third Young Master’s scandal that has been exposed. If we let Doctor Liu continue this way, then…”

Seeing him still hesitating, the woman added fuel to the fire. Though she left her sentence unfinished, Old Master Gong understood entirely.
