Blake's Blind Faith and Ethan's Unyielding Spirit Chapter 44

Ethan Bennett had said everything he should and shouldn't say, and he didn't plan to stay here any longer to add to his troubles. However, before leaving, he was still worried about Blake Harrison's illness, so he spent a day and a night sorting out all the pulse records, diagnosis books, pharmacology and acupuncture methods, and wrote down the following prescriptions and treatments clearly. He personally handed them over to Xu Jianqing and Brandon Lee, as his last token of gratitude.

In just one or two days, Gao Ming and Xu Kang were driven away. Jiang Zhuxing was much gentler and out of consideration for Ethan Bennett, he did not make things too difficult for Pei Siqing. However, Pei Siqing still did not want to be with Ethan Bennett, so he took some gold and silver jewelry and ran away. Ethan Bennett was also free. If he had a way, he would not want to stay with Pei Siqing. However, Pei Siqing returned to the Pei family first, and it was a headache for him to know how they would deal with him.

Ethan Bennett has always lived a simple life. After coming to the Jiang family, he did not buy too many things. He only had a medicine box and a bag to leave. He patted his packed luggage, feeling a little confused.

I heard that the talks between those adults and Blake Harrison about releasing grain for disaster relief were not going smoothly. Blake Harrison was good at Tai Chi and treated them to delicious food and drinks. However, when it came to business, he looked troubled and there was no progress. Among them was a man named Lu Zhuo, the magistrate of Xiao County in Huaibei, which was hit hard by the disaster. He couldn't stand it anymore, and at the banquet on the third day, he smashed the cup in anger, and accused Blake Harrison of being rich and unkind and profit-seeking. He also indirectly blamed several other officials for being soaked in wealth and luxury, and drinking and having fun without caring about the suffering of the people.

Magistrate Lu was not a high-ranking official but had a lot of guts, which angered the governor, who said he would punish him for insubordination. Blake Harrison intervened, as he did not want anyone to have an unpleasant experience on Jiang's territory. The prefect of Yangzhou also helped to mediate, and the matter was finally settled.
