Chapter 2290: Chapter 2290: Missing a Manager

"Hmm, got it." Lin Baizhong responded softly.

It seemed he should go meet the City Lord. If he delayed any longer, the City Lord might end up being sold off, and even then, he might still help count the silver for the buyer.

...

Inside the inn.

Zhe Jue had gathered a lot of information from outside, with the most crucial news being that the City Lord’s wife was pregnant.

He glanced at his master.

Knowing that his master was possibly the Junior City Lord of Sky City, and now hearing that his master might have a biological younger brother — one who hadn’t even been born yet — the shock and astonishment he felt were unimaginable to ordinary people!

"The City Lord’s wife is pregnant?" Lin Caisang also glanced at her husband.

Her husband was soon going to have a younger brother, and...

She reached out and touched her own belly, thinking to herself that the baby in the City Lord’s wife’s belly was probably smaller than hers.

So her child was about to have a much younger... biological uncle?

"So the herb collection this time is for the City Lord’s wife?" she asked.

"Yes."

Zhe Jue nodded.

"This herb collection is entirely for the City Lord’s wife. It’s said that the herbs are incredibly rare, each one worth a fortune.

But the list of herbs, for now, cannot be obtained. The word is that before entering Haikuo Forest, the manager will announce the names of those herbs on the spot."

"It really is quite mysterious." Lin Caisang chuckled lightly.

"Zimo, look at me — I’m already carrying your child. Shouldn’t we, once we get to Haikuo Forest, gather all those rare herbs ourselves?"

She looked at Sui Zimo and asked.

"You cheeky thing!"

Sui Zimo reached out, gently tapping her nose in exasperation.

Medicinal herbs aren’t something to consume carelessly. Pregnant or not, one shouldn’t casually intake just any herb.

"Let’s wait until we see the herb list before making any plans. Perhaps the City Lord’s wife only wants to prepare a safeguard for her baby."

Perhaps it was exactly what they were imagining — who could say for sure?

"Perhaps."

Lin Caisang chuckled softly and nodded.

...

"Haha, Nian, you really came back, huh!"

Inside the study at the City Lord’s Mansion, Lin Baizhong arrived before the messenger from the City Lord’s wife had a chance to report.

"City Lord, I heard your wife is pregnant?" Lin Baizhong asked with a grin.

"That’s right."

Speaking about this matter, the City Lord’s face was filled with pride.

His wife was once again pregnant, and he couldn’t be happier. How many years had it been since there was joyous news in the City Lord’s Mansion?

And ever since his eldest son’s disappearance, the City Lord’s Mansion had been in a continuous slump for years.

"That’s why, for the sake of this City Lord’s child, we’re hosting this herb collection contest. I’ve even reopened the Haikuo Forest, which hasn’t been accessible for a long time."

He explained.

"City Lord, would it be possible for me to take a look at the list of herbs?" Lin Baizhong inquired.

"Of course."

The City Lord nodded immediately, looking at him.

"You’ve arrived just in time. The herb collection contest still needs a manager, and your arrival is perfect for handling this task for me."

As he spoke, he took out a delicate box from beside him, opened it, and handed the list inside over to Lin Baizhong.

"Take a look."

Lin Baizhong accepted the list, and with just one glance, his brows furrowed deeply.
