The massage resumed, and Wang Xiaozhu remained apprehensive, though the attitudes of the prefect's wife and the head maid were now completely different.
Wang Xiaozhu was inwardly impressed by the Fifth Young Master's intelligence and his uncanny foresight.
Although the story of a female physician at the Wen family clinic who could massage and relieve fatigue was deliberately exaggerated and spread to the backyards of various noble families in Anshui County, Wen Zhiyun's foundation was still weak, and Wang Xiaozhu was even more new to medicine, so they were forced into it.

"You are quite clever," the magistrate's wife praised.
This time, Wang Xiaozhu didn't say anything.
After waiting a moment, the prefect's wife continued, "Actually, it's not that he has no worries. He's been very busy lately, studying the dynasty's laws every day and talking about clan feuds. He doesn't have time to spend with me."
