But he quickly realized something was wrong.

Their people had clearly sealed off this area, preventing outsiders from entering freely, so how did this boy get in?

"Hey!" Wu Jiang put his hands on his hips, about to question him, but Luo Zhihan glanced at him, and Wu Jiang's voice softened.

"Who are you? You can't just walk in here."

Pharmacist Chen closed the snakeskin bag and looked over with a scrutinizing gaze.

They had some impression of the wealthy and powerful families in Linjiang City, but they had never seen anyone with such outstanding temperament and appearance as this young man...

Xie Li: "???"

Seeing that Wu Jiang was actually blocking Luo Zhihan, she quickly stood up and stood in front of Luo Zhihan, saying, "What do you want to do? He's my friend!"

Luo Zhihan, who was about to introduce herself, was speechless.

He looked at the girl's fair nape, her long eyelashes drooping slightly, concealing a faint smile in her eyes.

Then, she reached out and patted Xie Li's shoulder reassuringly, "It's alright, they were right to be cautious."

"Excuse me, Pharmacist Chen, I'm Luo Zhihan." By only stating his name and not his family background, he made it clear that he was not here for the sake of his family.

Pharmacist Chen nodded, which was considered a greeting.

Xie Li: "Why did you come here? By the way, what did you mean by that last sentence? To shut up? It's just that Grandma ate a few sweet potatoes, and Uncle Zhang ate some too. There's no need for that."

She frowned slightly, clearly not quite understanding.

Although some city savvy buyers were eager to buy sweet potatoes when they were first introduced, they later became worthless.

Ding Huizhu refused to accept it, and Jiang Baili scoffed. Even her friends said that it was a very cheap item, and that she would be bled dry after just a few bites. What a joke!

Wu Jiang felt his temper rising again, "How many people did you actually feed?!"

"Uncle Zhang, you must be Aunt Zhang's son," Luo Zhihan asked in a gentle voice.

Zhang Ma, who had been working quietly, quickly added, "It was just my son and me who ate it. Oh, and I secretly gave four to Chef Li..."

The more she talked, the more uneasy she felt. Judging from the situation, had she done something wrong?

But since Chef Li had been complaining of rheumatoid arthritis, she wanted to give Chef Li this to try.

Cook Li was a virtuous woman who never meddled with the servants or spoke ill of the young lady, nor did she look down on the sweet potatoes...

"Grandma, it's alright. I know Chef Li is a good person." Seeing Zhang Ma's unease, Xie Li quickly offered his support.

She paused, then looked at Pharmacist Chen seriously. "Although you organized everyone to help harvest the sweet potatoes, and you are a very good person, I have given these sweet potatoes to my little grandmother. They belong to my little grandmother and can only be disposed of by her."

"I know you want the golden potatoes, but that depends on whether Grandma is willing!"

Zhang Ma was so frightened that she waved her hands repeatedly: "Young Miss, this is no joke! This is your own stuff, how can I dispose of it!"

She then begged for mercy from Pharmacist Chen, saying, "Pharmacist Chen, I can't make the decision. You can talk to the young lady." With that, she quickly packed up and fled as if she were escaping.

There's clearly something important to discuss here, and she's just an old woman and a servant, so she shouldn't get involved.

After Zhang Ma left.

Wu Jiang looked bewildered and somewhat complicated: "...You're so good to Zhang Ma."

These wealthy families are all incredibly proud to the core; how many of them truly respect their servants?

Moreover, Xie Li clearly treats Zhang Ma as family.

Luo Zhihan stood to the side with a slight smile, his gaze towards Xie Li carrying a warmth he himself was unaware of.
