Chapter 289: Kicked Out

I always feel like something is off in this chapter, no matter how many times I revise it. Let me post it first and make some minor adjustments later after contemplating it further. If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them.

He's no longer an apprentice?

Zhuang Qingning was somewhat surprised, "I thought Brother Wencheng said he wanted to become a good doctor. Why isn't he at the pharmacy anymore?"

"Wencheng said he doesn't want to be an apprentice anymore and wants to try something else. He thought about learning from me at my cloth shop and doing some small business in the future. However, the way I see it, it seems like he was driven out."

Zhuang Yutian said, "I asked around and, just as I suspected, Zhuang Wencheng was expelled from Doctor Ge's pharmacy."

Expelled?

Zhuang Qingning immediately pursed her lips.
