The Herbal Scents of Farm Life

Chapter 3229 - 3230: Two Tough Nuts to Crack

"Good, as long as it’s fine."

The head of the Zui Family also let out a sigh of relief.

This way, he wouldn’t have to give up on Zui Yichun.

"Since the Crown Prince has returned, I will enter the palace tomorrow. I won’t go tonight."

"Master, then..."

"Why are you still standing here? Get lost."

Madam Zui had just wanted to speak but was impatiently interrupted by the head of the Zui Family.

"Master."

Madam Zui’s face showed a hint of embarrassment.

"You haven’t come to rest in my quarters for half a year. How about tonight..."

"Get out!"

Before she could finish, the head of the Zui Family shouted at her, his eyes full of disdain for the woman before him.

"Do you even consider what state you’re in now? You think you can serve me? It’s already generous enough for me to let you continue as the lady of the Zui Family. You still want me to go to your room? What do you think you are?"

"Uh."

Originally only slightly embarrassed, Madam Zui was now blushing with shame after his words.

"Hurry and get out, don’t disturb my business."

The head of the Zui Family waved his hand at Madam Zui as if shooing away a fly.

"Do you still think you’re fifteen or sixteen years old? You’re like a dead fish now, still thinking about these things? Any woman around me is far better than you, understand?"

"I..."

Tears welled up in Madam Zui’s eyes as she looked at the head of the Zui Family, who was full of disdain for her.

She really wanted to shout at him that those women were all lowlifes and couldn’t compare to her. But she understood even more that he preferred those women.

She couldn’t say it. If she did, she might not even be able to keep her position as the lady.

"I shall take my leave."

She had no choice but to cover her face and turn to leave.

Before she reached the outside, she heard the head of the Zui Family yelling towards the door.

"Mengzhu, Mengju, hurry up and serve me for rest! If I had known it was like this, I wouldn’t have needed Mengzhu to leave, and it would have been done by now!"

Madam Zui paused in her steps, bit her lip, and continued walking out.

She heard nothing, heard nothing, as long as she was still the lady of the Zui Family, that was all that mattered. Everything else was unimportant!

...

Sky City.

Zui Yifeng had sent people to the Lin Family several times, but each time they returned without success, losing quite a few subordinates in the process.

"Lin Caisang, Sui Zimo, you two really are tough bones to chew!"

If he had known earlier, he would have devised another plan, instead of clashing with the Lin Family, losing his men and exposing himself to Sui Zimo and the others.

"What’s the situation with the Ding Family?"

It wasn’t just Lin Caisang that was a problem; even the three medicinal ingredients from the Ding Family hadn’t been resolved.

"Master, we still haven’t found where Ding Zhuzui put those ingredients. We’ve practically turned the Ding Family inside out but haven’t found what we’re looking for."

The subordinate reported to him respectfully.

He even suspected that those three ingredients might not even be with the Ding Family anymore, possibly already given away by Ding Zhuzui.

"Useless!"

Zui Yifeng cursed in frustration.

They couldn’t even find a few ingredients, and he truly didn’t understand what kind of people he had under his command.

"What about Sixth Ding? Any news?" he asked.
