307 Hardship
The fourth prince was completely immersed in his delusions and didn’t notice that Pei Qian was looking at him strangely.
Did he like Lin Suisui?
He did!
But so what?
In order to climb to that position, what was there that he couldn’t give up? As long as he could successfully obtain that position, not to mention Lin Suisui, even if there were a hundred or a thousand women like her, nothing could stop him from getting it.
Lin Suisui was just a woman.
He thought that since Gu Erlang could be used by Pei Qian, he must be ambitious. Since he was ambitious, there would naturally be shortcomings they could exploit.
Pei Qian ignored the fourth prince, who had already lost his rationality. Actually, he wasn’t surprised that the fourth prince thought this way. After all, he had always been such a person.
He was selfish, timid, and cowardly, but he had delusions of controlling everything in this world!
Back then, if not for…
However, on second thought, this was a good thing. Lin Suisui had finally rid herself of this scumbag. This way, when Lin Suisui recalled the past, she wouldn’t be so disgusted that she couldn’t sleep.
Pei Qian talked with the fourth prince for a while longer before standing up and leaving. He didn’t care that the fourth prince was distracted.
Although it would take some time for the medical center to open, the testing for the assistants was coming up soon.
To Lin Suisui’s surprise, Du Yue’e suddenly came to look for her before the assessment and requested to join the Rejuvenation Hall to learn medicine.
“If you really want to learn, I won’t stop you.” After hearing Du Yue’e’s request, Lin Suisui wasn’t surprised at all and agreed to her request.
Du Yue’e, who was kneeling on the ground, stared at Lin Suisui in a daze for a long time before saying, “You really agree?”
“Why should I object?” Lin Suisui tilted her head in confusion. “If you’re interested in studying medicine and want to learn it, just learn it. Why not?”
She was a doctor, so she believed that women could also study medicine.
So what if she was a woman? Her medical skills were not inferior to those of men! In fact, many male doctors were even inferior to her!
However, just because Lin Suisui thought so didn’t mean that Du Yue’e thought so too.
Du Yue’e, in particular, had always been taught that girls were useless. Therefore, she had hesitated for a few days before she gathered her courage to come over. She didn’t expect that what she had been thinking previously was simply groundless.
Lin Suisui didn’t care about those misogynistic views at all.
“Don’t think about those useless things. If you really want to study medicine, focus on this aspect.” Lin Suisui stood up and walked to Du Yue’e’s side. Then, she continued to say, “However, there are some things I have to tell you in advance.
What happened before is in the past. You have to look forward and move on.
However, other people might only care about your past. The more outstanding you are in the future, the more they’ll talk about your past.
What you might have to face next is not only the world’s prejudice against women studying medicine, but also your past.
If you can’t take it, it’s not too late to give up now.
“After you recover, I’ll find a suitable manor for you. You can farm and provide for your brother for the rest of his life.
Between these two paths, how will you choose?”
Originally, this last arrangement was the result of Lin Suisui’s previous discussion with Yuan Niang. She had even spoken to Mrs. Luo about it. When spring came and the snow melted, it would be easier to walk around, so she asked Mrs. Luo to settle the siblings down over there.
But now, Du Yue’e suddenly had her own plans.
She didn’t want to make presumptuous decisions for Du Yue’e. After all, this was Du Yue’e’s future, so she had to make the decision herself.
After moving on from the past, her and her brother’s lives would definitely be much more stable. At the very least, they wouldn’t have to face the rumors anymore.
But if she chose to study medicine…
“I understand. I’ve thought about it too, but I still want to try.”
Du Yue’e lowered her head and pursed her lips as she hesitated for a long time before looking up at Lin Suisui. Then, she said word by word, “Your Highness, I know that the reason I’ve been able to live peacefully recently is that under your protection, I didn’t have to go out to face others.
However, the truth can’t be hidden forever.
Even if I hide, there’s no way I can hide forever. After all, my brother will eventually grow up. Instead of hiding, it’s better to face it now.
At least, I won’t have to be on tenterhooks all the time.”
“Alright, let’s give it a try.” Lin Suisui smiled happily and rubbed the top of Du Yue’e’s head as she promised her solemnly, “Don’t worry, I can promise you. If you can persevere and keep moving forward, no matter how much trouble there is in the future, the Rejuvenation Hall won’t give up on you.
Unless I admit defeat!
“But Yue’e, you know that I was also discriminated against when I studied medicine!
Even now, I would still be questioned.
“My mentor told me before that it’s impossible to shut those people up forever! However, there’s a way to lessen the impact of those rumors on us. Do you know what it is?”
“Be more outstanding?” Du Yue’e replied tentatively after a long time.
“Yes, be more outstanding, so outstanding that you reach a height that others can only look up to. This way, you won’t be able to hear those people’s nagging.” Lin Suisui smiled and reached out to pull her back. “Alright, the medical examination is in two days. Since you want to study medicine, you naturally have to take the exam.
It’s too late to learn from scratch now. I know a little about it, so why don’t I teach you?! As long as you study hard, you can definitely pass the test.”
“Thank you.” Du Yue’e’s eyes lit up. As she followed Lin Suisui towards the courtyard where she had placed the herbs, she said in a low voice in embarrassment, “Previously, in order to earn money for my family, I only learned a little about herbs from the doctor next door. If you can teach me, that would be great.”
