The maid received confirmation from Ling Mei that she had been avoiding picking up guests lately because she genuinely wanted to turn her life around for the better.

It is all for the sake of Li jin who is thousands of miles away.

The maid had been serving Sister Ling for several years and was well aware of her past struggles. Although the wealthy businessmen were generous, they often played dirty tricks. Sometimes, the maid helped Ling Mei get dressed in the morning and couldn't bear to see the bruises on her body. It was a terrible sight to see the blue, purple, and black marks all over her.

The maid turned red at the thought of it. Although Ling Mei believed that Li Jin refused to accept her letter because she didn't mention her name, the housekeeper suspected that he didn't care about her at all.

The maid shared her thoughts with Ling Mei. Even though she was young, she was raised in a brothel and had seen countless women crying over the years. She knew that she couldn't do much in her meager strength, but she wanted to warn Ling Mei to not get lost in her dreams.

However, Ling Mei didn't listen to her. She sensed the maid's concern, but Li Jin had said before that he would not dislike her past and would marry her home.

Lingmei was taken aback at first, but the man was cowardly and useless to the bone. It irritated her greatly.

As a top-tier courtesan in Piaoxiangyuan, Ling Mei had seen many men like him. They would promise to do one thing but do the complete opposite. Many of her colleagues had happily redeemed themselves, thinking that they had found true love, only to end up marrying inhumane men.

Ling Mei remembered the former top courtesan who had redeemed herself and married with the money she saved. Two years later, when Ling Mei saw her again, she didn't recognize the person wearing coarse clothes and full of frostbite and calluses.

Lingmei believed that Li Jin was a cherished individual, regardless of his appearance, and stood out from other men with his attractive eyes and composed demeanor. Despite his youth, he exuded a commanding presence. Lingmei gazed at Li Jin for a long time at the hospital that day and could no longer detect any signs of timidity or cowardice. Instead, he exuded a pure and noble aura, which was the finest she had ever seen. Moreover, Li Jin had defended her reputation in public, and Lingmei had never felt as content as she did at that moment.

The edges of her lips remained upturned under the veil.

When Lingmei's maid tried to pour cold water on her, Lingmei's tone turned icy.

"Assist me in changing my clothes, and we'll attend the event later. I'll disregard the negative comments you made today, but I won't tolerate them again."

The maid bit her lip and bowed her head in response.

At Xinglintang,

Zhou Gui observed that once there were no patients, Doctor Li could not sit still and would stand up and head straight to the inner hall. This was unlike the previous doctor Li who would practice calligraphy or silently read the "Four Books" and "Five Classics." They would, at most, stretch their shoulders when fatigued.

Zhou Gui sighed upon realizing this. It was no wonder that Doctor Li had achieved such a high level of medical expertise at a young age. Someone like him, who lost their focus after studying for a short time, would never attain Doctor Li's level of proficiency in their entire life.

It was only today that Zhou Gui realized that Doctor Li was not distracted because the person he missed and remembered was not present.

Zhou Gui heard voices emanating from the inner hall and was carefully memorizing the prescription. He had no interest in Doctor Li's personal affairs.
