One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 245: Chapter 11 It’s None of Her Business, Right?

Lin Yuezhi’s eyes lit up a bit when he saw Gu Shu.

Gu Shu looked at him and blushed slightly, but at this moment, she felt like a warrior protecting her lover, and she walked over with determination.

Then.

Under Lin Yuezhi’s gentle gaze.

She lifted her foot and stomped heavily on Lin Yuezhi’s foot.

Lin Yuezhi was stunned.

Gu Shu was also stunned.

Ye Xiao laughed.

Just now, she had taken “protecting Lin Yuezhi” and turned it into “stomping on Lin Yuezhi.” The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Her daughter was a hopeless romantic.

This, Ye Xiao knew.

But she did not want anyone else to know.

Ye Qingrong died in depression partly because her son and daughter were such disappointments, and also because the public opinion pressured her, accusing her of poor upbringing.

This time, since Ye Xiao was to grant Ye Qingrong a happy and fulfilling life,

She would handle these scandals.

But it would be best not to spread them further.

Gu Shu was stunned for a moment and hastily lifted her foot off his. She hurriedly said, “I…I didn’t mean it that way, I don’t know what happened, I…”

Before Gu Shu could finish, Ye Xiao gave a look, and the guards beside her promptly pulled Gu Shu away from either side.

Ye Xiao said indifferently, “Shu’er, even if you are furious with Lin Yuezhi’s comments, there’s no need to kick him personally. The young miss is too angry now, take her back to her room.”

Gu Shu was stunned.

She was angry at Lin Yuezhi’s comments?

No, it wasn’t like that at all!

She really didn’t mean it.

Gu Shu wanted to say more, but her mouth was covered, and she was forcibly taken away by the guards.

Lin Yuezhi’s expression also darkened.

He thought Gu Shu would understand him.

But he hadn’t expected

She was just like the Marquis Mansion’s Marchioness, another woman unsatisfied with her place!

Fortunately, he had seen her true colors in advance.

If he had carelessly really married such a woman, wouldn’t his family, the Lin Family, be utterly disgraced?

“Marchioness. Your mother-daughter actions, isn’t this going too far? I was merely speaking some fair words. Can your Marquis Mansion shut everyone in the world up?” Lin Yuezhi glared at Ye Xiao.

There was already a lot of opposition to this new women’s medical school that Ye Xiao had initiated, and no one dared to speak up about it face to face.

He, Lin Yuezhi, would be the first!

After today, regardless of the outcome, he would surely become famous throughout Beijing.

Lin Yuezhi was even looking forward to Ye Xiao having him beaten, which would make him famous even faster.

Being bullied and beaten by the Marquis Residence would even highlight his scholarly integrity, wouldn’t it?

Ye Xiao looked at Lin Yuezhi but simply smiled, “Sir Lin, are you saying that female doctors have no medical skills at all? That women should not learn medicine, is that your point?”

Lin Yuezhi said proudly, “Yes.”

Ye Xiao was not annoyed. She nodded and said, “The Master said: ‘Practice what you preach.’ What do you think about that, Sir Lin?”

Lin Yuezhi frowned, “The sage’s words are, of course, correct.”

Ye Xiao smiled faintly, “If so, Sir Lin must also agree that consistency between words and actions is most important. Since you said that female doctors are inferior to male doctors, shouldn’t you prove it with action?”

Lin Yuezhi’s brows puckered tighter, “How should this be proven?”

Ye Xiao said calmly, “This is Beijing, where famous doctors gather. There has been much debate about the women’s medical school recently, and there are not a few people who share your views, Sir Lin. Let’s have a medical skills competition. Sir Lin is welcome to invite renowned doctors from all over, and Doctor Chang from the women’s medical school is willing to exchange views with them. Then it will become clear whether women’s medical skills are truly inferior to men’s, won’t it?”

Sir Lin was taken aback.

This was not how he had envisioned things!

In his imagination, Ye Xiao should have been infuriated, preferably throwing him out the door, allowing him to turn that to his advantage and perhaps even make a name for himself in one stroke.

But Ye Xiao remained calm and composed, instead proposing a new suggestion.

“Is Sir Lin afraid to agree? Could it be that you’re just talking, and don’t actually believe that male doctors can outperform female doctors?” Ye Xiao said.

This time, it was her turn to corner him.

Lin Yuezhi clenched his teeth and agreed on the spot, “Fine! Then as the lady says.”

Ye Xiao nodded, “Doctor Chang will be waiting at the medical school.”

Having said that, she stopped paying attention to the scholars and went straight inside.

The scholars looked at each other for a while.

Although the development was a bit strange this time.

But…

There seems to be no problem?

When it comes to the dignity of male doctors, many famous physicians would likely be willing to take action.

By then, they would naturally let Chang Xueqin taste the bitterness of utter defeat.

That women’s medical school would naturally be unable to continue as well.

These people began to take action separately.

The next day.

As expected, a renowned physician came knocking, wanting to compete in medical skills with Chang Xueqin.

Chang Xueqin naturally agreed without hesitation.

Everyone thought that Chang Xueqin would be easily crushed.

But the result.

For patients with the same symptoms, her skill in acupuncture revived them within the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

On the other side, treatment hadn’t even begun.

The renowned physician was so shaken that he muttered to himself as he left.

A man actually lost a round?

How could this be?

As a result.

The medical community was in turmoil, with more and more doctors getting involved.

Chang Xueqin, with her medical knowledge from two worlds, was the top doctor in this realm.

Over the past few days.

Chang Xueqin, alone, faced all the challenging physicians.

And she alone made all these famous doctors return in utter defeat.

By the last day.

Even the imperial physicians from the palace couldn’t resist participating.

The number of onlookers grew as well.

And Chang Xueqin emerged victorious still.

On the last day.

Ye Xiao and An Yihua were watching from below.

An Yihua raised her head in a daze, looking at Chang Xueqin, radiant with success, and waves of emotions surged in her heart.

It turned out.

That a woman could live like this!

Chang Xueqin’s victory that day changed the minds of many, and the women’s medical school became even more popular.

At night.

Chang Xueqin once again treated Marquis Valiant.

Before, when treating Marquis Valiant, she had always been nervous.

But this time, she was filled with conviction.

Having engaged with and competed against top physicians, Chang Xueqin felt her own medical skills had improved.

This time.

She finally had full confidence.

After finishing the acupuncture treatment, Chang Xueqin stood to one side quietly, “Marchioness, the Marquis will soon wake up. I’m sure you have much to discuss. I will take my leave now; I have several students’ assignments waiting for my review.”

Ye Xiao paused, then instinctively called out, “Wait a minute.”

She suddenly realized…

Isn’t the Marquis the male lead?

Isn’t Chang Xueqin the female lead?

Now that Chang Xueqin has become so devoted to her career, could she still spark romance with the Marquis Valiant?

Chang Xueqin looked at Ye Xiao, somewhat puzzled.

Ye Xiao, feeling somewhat helpless, said, “Never mind, go ahead with your work.”

Only then did Chang Xueqin leave.

Ye Xiao hurriedly flipped open the task interface again and took another look.

Then, she asked.

“System… if the male lead and female lead don’t end up together, there won’t be any problem with the little world, will there?” Ye Xiao asked with some trepidation.

The system was also helpless but replied, “It’s not a big problem; this book is now shifting toward the ultimate female lead direction. Chang Xueqin… she may never marry in her lifetime.”

Ye Xiao: “…”

This shouldn’t be her concern, right?
