Chapter 497: Chapter 497: This is How It Was ‘Handled Chapter 497: Chapter 497: This is How It Was ‘Handled “My lady, we will serve you well in the future, listen to your words, and never betray you.” The women kept kowtowing towards Lin Caisang, repeating the words of the Crone while doing so.

Watching this scene, Lin Caisang’s lips twitched. She thought, these people have all been disciplined well, seems like there is not much of an issue without Jiang Li.

“Then I will…”

“Sang’er, examine their pulses, each and every one of them.”

Just as Lin Caisang was about to finalize things with the Crone, she heard Ya Molian’s voice ringing in her ear.

She was taken aback, and felt somewhat puzzled. Doesn’t he trust even Zhe Jue’s judgement now, asking her to examine the pulses of these women? Is he afraid there might be diseases or other hidden conditions in them?

Though puzzled in her heart, she obediently followed Ya Molian’s instructions.

After all, she was unfamiliar with this place, and Ya Molian, though she wasn’t sure about the extent of his knowledge, he at least understood it much better than her.

As a result, under the Crone’s arrangements, the women lined up one by one, extending their hands for Lin Caisang to examine their pulses.

And sure enough, Ya Molian’s worry was justified, for Lin Caisang indeed found something after examining the women.

“Bring her forward.”

She wore a stern expression, signaling for one of the women to step forward.

The woman whose name was called looked terrified and did not dare to move, let alone step forward.

“Bring her out.”

Upon seeing this, the Crone immediately instructed her henchmen to pull the woman out and make her kneel before Lin Caisang.

“Honored guest, is there something displeasing about this woman?”

With a smile plastered on her face, she turned to Lin Caisang, asking her question.

Among the thirty women, she thought this woman had a relatively handsome face, and her hands looked like those of a good worker. Why did she catch the displeasure of their guests?

Could it be her face?

But that couldn’t be right. There were several women who were prettier than her, yet Lin Caisang didn’t have any complaints about them.

Moreover, she noticed that Lin Caisang’s face turned bad when she was examining this woman’s pulse, although she didn’t say it at first. Only after examining everyone did she point this woman out.

If this woman was indeed carrying some hidden ailment, she had to find out. After all, if it spreads to others, it would be a disaster.

“Crone, how long has this woman been sold here?” Lin Caisang asked patiently.

“This one, wait a moment, let me check.”

While saying so the Crone’s thick ledger was opened in her hands. After a short while, she raised her eyes to look at Lin Caisang.

“Honored guest, this woman has been sold here for just over three months. She made a fuss a few times initially and was only quiet after being disciplined by the henchmen. But rest assured, she’s a capable worker,” she assured with a thump on her chest.

Upon hearing this, Lin Caisang turned solemn. Only then did she understand why Ya Molian got angry when the Crone mentioned how the henchmen ‘take care’ of those women causing trouble – so this was their way of ‘taking care’.

She knelt to face the woman on the ground.

“Where are you from?” she asked.

“This servant is from the North Cold.”

The woman stole a glance at Lin Caisang, swallowed in fear, and replied in a soft voice.

“North Cold.” Lin Caisang mused.
