Zhiruo stammered, pointing inside.

"Big...Big sister, they...they're looking for you."

Hearing the call, Zhiwan came out of the house. When she saw Zhang Xiaoquan and Xie Jiaxun, she asked curiously:

"You... what is this...?"

Xie Jiaxun stepped forward and lifted the red cloth on the plaque, revealing the four golden characters: "Conscience Pharmacy".

this……

At this moment, Luo Zhiwan was also completely baffled.

"Young City Lord, what's going on?"

Xie Jiaxun took two steps forward, looking at her with a smile on his lips.

"Miss Luo, this is a plaque that the City Lord of Phoenix City and several officials decided to award to the Luo Family Pharmacy. They originally wanted to award you with 'Miraculous Healing,' but considering that you are not yet a doctor, they decided to give your Luo Family Pharmacy a plaque instead. Please accept it!"

To be awarded a golden plaque by the government office, and for it to be personally delivered by the young city lord, is an immense honor indeed.

More and more people gathered around to watch the spectacle, and they all discussed that the eldest daughter of the Luo family was no ordinary girl. She had gained the city lord's favor and was sure to have a bright future.

However, at this moment, the women in Willow Grove Lane were also crowding in the crowd, constantly pouting. Li Dazui was the first to mutter disdainfully.

"It's just a moment of glory. This little slut probably used some tricks to seduce the city lord into bed. Otherwise, why didn't we discover her abilities earlier?"

Li Erniang quickly nodded in agreement.

"What you said does make some sense. I heard that one night she went to the city lord's mansion in the middle of the night and didn't come out for a long time. Could it be that she went to serve the city lord?"

"That's possible. Otherwise, what merits would a woman like her have to gain the favor of the city lord?"

"That's right, that's right. Who is the City Lord? She's the top dog in Phoenix City. We can't even see her normally. Why should we give her such a prestigious title?"

While the two women were whispering to each other, Zhiwan had already had the gold-lettered plaque carried into the house and hung in the most conspicuous place in the pharmacy. At the same time, she asked Jiawang to inform Luo Tianhe that such an honorable event should also make her father happy.

Before Jiawang could leave, Luo Tianhe had already heard the news and came with his mother, Luo Laotai. Jiawang's mother also followed closely behind, carrying Yifan.

Upon seeing Old Lady Luo, Zhiwan's brows furrowed instantly. However, on such a joyous day, surely this old witch wouldn't cause any trouble and spoil the fun!

Sure enough, upon seeing the gleaming golden plaque, she immediately nodded in satisfaction.

"Tianhe, our Luo family should have received this honor long ago. This is truly a great honor for our ancestors."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Dazui suddenly shouted from the crowd.

"Hey! Whose child is Jiawang's mother holding? Is it Zhiwan's? The child is quite good-looking, but I never heard that Zhiwan got married. How did she have a child? Where is the father?"

Upon hearing this, Jiawang's mother's face instantly turned red to the roots of her ears, while Luo Tianhe remained cold, breathing heavily.

Xie Jiaxun and Zhang Xiaoquan both turned to look at the child. Yiming was only two months old and naturally did not know what was happening. His eyes kept darting around, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Zhiruo rushed out of the pharmacy, pointing her finger at Li Dazui.

"What do you care who the child's father is? It's none of your business. You have a big mouth, and it's windy today, so watch your words or you'll bite the hand that feeds you."

"Yo yo yo!"

Li Dazui glanced at Zhiruo and clicked his tongue.

"You really do become like the people you surround yourself with. Your older sister is crazy, so you're going to pretend to be crazy too? Be careful you won't be able to get married in the future."

"you……"

Zhi Ruo was speechless with anger. Zhi Wan stepped out from behind her, pulled her aside, and looked directly at Li Da Zui, her gaze blazing as she said:

"Li Dazui, let me remind you again in front of everyone today: stop gossiping about our family matters behind our backs. Yiming is my child, and it's none of your business where his father is. Also, stop doing things that are morally reprehensible. You have children too, so do some good deeds for your descendants!"

Upon hearing this, Li Dazui immediately became anxious.

"Who are you calling immoral? How have I immorally done anything wrong? Explain yourself clearly today."

"Hmph! Do I really have to spell it out? Fine, then I'll tell everyone. When the plague was raging, didn't you encourage my grandmother to go out and watch the excitement, so that she could catch the plague? And you knew she had the plague, yet you still lied to her, saying that adults wouldn't die, but if it was passed on to children, who are weaker, they would die?"

Her words startled Li Dazui for a moment, but she quickly retorted:

“This wasn’t something I encouraged. It was your grandmother who was superstitious and wanted to go to the street to see what was going on. Besides, keeping that little bastard of yours around would only bring shame to your family. It would be better if he died.”

"You're despicable. How could you say such a thing? You're just tarnishing your reputation."

"You're the one who's wicked. Everyone knows you went to the city lord's mansion in the middle of the night, climbed into his bed, and then got him to give you a gold plaque. That plaque of yours is fake. You're such a shameless woman, so shameless that you'll sleep in any bed you can find and sleep with any man you can get your hands on."

"How dare you!"

Before she could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaoquan burst out of the crowd like lightning, pressing his longsword against her neck and angrily questioning her.

"How dare you! You dare to insult the city lord in the street! You're a reckless shrew!"

At this moment, Li Dazui realized that she had spoken her mind in a fit of anger, and she could not bear the crime of slandering the city lord.

She was so frightened that she raised her hands and knelt on the ground.

"Sir, no... that's not how it is. I was just talking nonsense. I didn't... I wouldn't dare."

"snort!"

Zhang Xiaoquan's sword never left her neck, and his eyes remained gleaming with ruthlessness.

"Your name is Li Dazui, right? I think you should be called Li Qianzui. Not only did you slander the city lord in the street, but you also doubted that the gold plaque issued by the government office was fake. You are really too bold."

"Sir, I was wrong, I was wrong, I will never do it again."

"Hmph! Not only that, you dare to doubt Miss Luo. Do you know that Miss Luo has made great contributions in the fight against this plague? Everyone should thank her. Otherwise, do you think you would still have the chance to stand here and speak? But not only do you not thank her, you are also so rude to her. You are not only rude, but also have a black heart. It seems that you will not know where you went wrong until you are locked up in jail for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Li Dazui was so frightened that his upper and lower teeth chattered, and his fat body trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, Li Dazui's man squeezed out of the crowd, came to Zhang Xiaoquan, and knelt down on both knees.

"Sir, this woman is all talk and no action. Please let her go. Otherwise, I'll slap her to teach her a lesson. You can tell me how many times you want to slap her."

Upon hearing this, Li Dazui instantly glared fiercely at her man.
