Three side dishes may not be a lot, but they were exceptionally aromatic and very appetizing, especially the noodle soup, which warmed one up with just a sip.
It gradually alleviated the suffocation in one’s heart. The fear of being looked down upon, mocked, and questioned chaotically.
In the past, he didn’t quite understand why Yuanbao took such a liking to Xie Zhinuan. He was somewhat prejudiced against her, feeling that such a woman was not at all suitable for his master.
Now, he began to understand a little.
Being able to train the household servants to be neither humble nor pushy, and to work gently and properly while covering all bases, spoke volumes about the capabilities of the mistress.
She owned this residence, so she probably didn’t have much time to spare…
Duobao still hadn’t realized that in this world, not all maids thought about climbing into someone else’s bed to become their concubine; many longed to be respectable citizens, to marry legitimately and become the official wife.
And Xie Zhinuan gave them this hope. Together with Aunt Chen’s careful training, they could do needlework in their spare time to sell, and were also encouraged to read and write, which Xie Zhinuan strongly advocated.
She provided the fabric, needles, and thread, as well as the brushes, ink, paper, and inkstone.

If the young male servants wished to learn some martial arts, that was fine too. Those who knew martial arts and were willing to teach could earn extra monthly silver.
The master had paved the way; if one still couldn’t follow it, they had no one else to blame.
After eating and drinking his fill, Duobao stood up.
The maid immediately came forward to clear the dishes, and before leaving, she respectfully said, “Young Master, please rest early. If you need anything, just call, and we maids are right in the next room!”
“You may leave,” Duobao said softly.
Once everyone had left, he moved his body around and found that his clothes fit very well.
Looking at the stitches, they were neat and dense, clearly indicating that great care had been taken in making the clothes.
“…”
He slightly pursed his lips and then laid down on the bed to sleep.
Gaocheng County
Sun Yian looked at the doctor kneeling on the ground with a grim expression.
He had never imagined that he would contract a venereal disease.
His heart sank to the abyss.
Even Hu Qingcheng and the other libertines were wearing worried looks, wondering where the problem had originated.
Where to investigate now? Who to question?
They had toyed with many women together, and no one knew who had brought the disease.
“Can it be cured?” Sun Yian asked.
Upon hearing this, the doctor hurriedly said, “This humble one’s skills are limited…”
“Drag him away, flay him, pull out his sinews!” Sun Yian ordered coldly.
He didn’t want more people to know about his venereal disease.
“Young Master, spare my life, please spare my life!” the doctor begged desperately.
Terror-stricken.
But Sun Yian remained unmerciful and sternly looked at Hu Qingcheng and the others, “The same goes for you, keep your mouths shut. If even a single word gets out, you know what will happen!”
The others hurriedly agreed.
Who would dare to talk carelessly when things had gotten to this point?
“Brother Sun, do we really have to flay and pull the sinews of that doctor? But, but Miss Xie next door knows as well…” Hu Qingcheng asked.
“You talk too much!” Sun Yian said coldly.
Thinking of Xie Zhinuan, he inexplicably changed his mind. Sun Yian took a deep breath, “Let that old doctor go, but warn him not to be loose-lipped, otherwise, his entire family will forfeit their lives!”
“Yes!”
The old doctor was released to his home, where he didn’t dare to delay a moment. He told his family to pack up so they could leave at first light to another place.
He dared not stay in Gaocheng County.
Xie Zhinuan rose early, practicing her punches and swordplay, then bathing and getting ready, and after eating breakfast with the two children and the old master, set out to take pulses at the shop.
There were more people today than yesterday; it seemed several of those who were ill had not left and had been waiting at the door all along.
“Miss Xie has arrived!”
