He was not at all worried about his son being chased away.

"This child’s hobby is truly unique."

Chun Nuan felt it was definitely not like her.

If he were interested in medicine and herbs like her, that would be great.

Unexpectedly, he was interested in Silver-Tael accounts and abacus.

If she guessed correctly, he’s probably the next Zhao Minghua.

The one who dared to take his private savings of two thousand taels of Silver at twelve and sneak away to the county to open a teahouse, with a mind full of business.

The family once thought he was a playboy, but he quietly earned the title of Imperial Merchant.

Nowadays in the Capital, Zhao Minghua is low-key, but no one dares to underestimate him.

Because he is the younger brother of the new Champion Scholar; he is the brother-in-law of General Xia, who is favored by the Emperor, and more, he is the husband of the only female doctor in the Capital, granted the plaque by the Emperor as an Imperial Merchant...

What they don’t know is, in the Capital’s four major bookstores, those shopkeepers and owners speak of Zhao Minghua’s name with reverence.

So now, when those students heard that the husband of their teacher arrived... Hmm, how should they address him, as mentor or something else, they’re all curious, what kind of man could win the teacher’s heart?

Someone saw him and spread the word.

"He’s a bit sturdier than the Champion Scholar, and his face is not quite the same as the Champion’s, well, how to say, each has their own characteristics, teacher really knows how to choose a husband."

"Is there a sense that it’s the elder generation of the Xiao family who has better judgment?"

"I’m actually very curious, I really want to know how the teacher and the mentor get along daily."

In their eyes, the teacher seems very cold, and most of her time is devoted to medicine.

Everyone knows, in this era, men manage outside affairs and women manage inside, a man marries a wife who must be virtuous.

How could a woman like the teacher, with such talent, have time to be virtuous?

How does the mentor tolerate it?

"Really want to know."

"Yes, how fortunate to meet a man who agrees to the teacher’s medical practice."

Men never allow their women to show themselves publicly, let alone neglect the family and children to work, or they risk getting their legs broken.

"Hope we could also receive such good fortune as the teacher."

The girls like to dream, especially such a group of young girls, still filled with hope for life.

Lei Ying appeared at the medical academy when she saw Zhong Xiuxiu crying bitterly.

"Sister Xiuxiu, thank you."

If Zhong Xiuxiu hadn’t come to see her and then told the teacher, her life would have been lost.

"It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back."

That silly girl, it’s as if she has died once.

"From now on, no matter what happens, we must find a way to solve it, and not abuse our bodies."

"Sister Xiuxiu, I have no choice."

Madam Lei merely notified her, not consulted her.

Moreover, she immediately confined her in the courtyard, even her aunt couldn’t visit.

The plan was to send her to the Hong Mansion the next day, Lei Ying held a pair of scissors against her neck, saying she could go but a good day must be chosen for departure, which was set five days later, earning herself five days but could not get the message out.

The worst part was, even her aunt thought she was still attending class at the medical academy, no one at the mansion knew the truth.

If it weren’t for Zhong Xiuxiu noticing her absence and coming, she really wouldn’t even have had the chance for self-rescue.

"I figured, rather than be spoiled by that old man, might as well die clean."

"I tried all kinds of ways to die, but they found and stopped me."

She even considered taking medicine herself but couldn’t go anywhere; so she resorted to a hunger strike as protest.

"You haven’t eaten for several days, is your stomach okay now?"

"The teacher told them to let me recover well, she’s been good to me these days, eager to please, I get whatever I want."

Even her aunt can come and talk to her now.

The honest aunt was often worn down by her, punished to kneel at the slightest mistake, kneeling for an hour or two, though she’s not old, her legs have already developed chronic problems.

"In winter, aunt’s legs hurt so much she can’t walk."

Lei Ying has seen too much of Madam Lei’s torment of concubines, so she strongly opposed being sent as a concubine, feeling that she might as well die early rather than suffer.

Unexpectedly, there was another path, provided by Zhong Xiuxiu and the teacher.

They were truly like her reborn parents.
