Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the second day of the second month, the day of the Longhe Festival.
Liu Shimei had been recuperating in the Liang family for seven to eight days. The bleeding wounds had already scabbed over, so she was thinking of going to the clinic to work.
She had not told Liang Wei and the others about this. She knew that they would not agree, so she did not plan to tell them. However, without anyone’s cooperation, it was impossible for her to disappear for the entire day.
Of course, she would look for Liang Yi.
“What is it? Did you say that you’ve found a job at the Zheng Medical Hall?” Liang Yi widened her eyes in disbelief. “I’m curious. Why would the Zheng Medical Hall want to hire you as a doctor?”
“I’m a doctor’s apprentice.” Liu Shimei corrected him.
“Alright, alright, apprentice!” Liang Yi agreed readily.
“Why do you want to work in the medical hall?” he asked. “Although our Liang family is no longer as glorious as before, relying on the merits of our ancestors, the lives of the future generations will not be bad. It’s more than enough to support you!”
Since he had mentioned such a deep level of content, Liu Shimei did not hide anything. “Ninth Brother, listen to me.”
Liang Yi expressed that he was all ears.
Liu Shimei said seriously, “Firstly, you know that our Liang family lives on the merits of our ancestors. The Emperor’s heart is hard to predict, but there’s another thing. No one knows how long it will last. At most, it’ll be decades. What if the world changes in the next ten years, or even a few years? What will happen to our family then?”
Liang Yi’s expression turned serious when he heard the word ‘world changes ’.
This could mean two things. Firstly, the direction of the Imperial Court had changed, and secondly, the peace between countries had been broken!
If it was the former, their lives would become more and more difficult, but a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. They would not be unable to live a little. But if it was the latter…
That meant that their Liang family would have to take the lead and most likely all of them would have to go to the battlefield!
If there was a conspiracy theory, if the court was in turmoil and the traitor framed them, their entire family might be destroyed in an instant!
Liu Shimei knew that he understood what she meant and said, “Secondly, no matter how unwilling you are to accept this fact, 1 will still marry into the residence of King Dun Yu. You also know that Lingyao is like a child. He might even be a child for the rest of his life.”
She had thought about treating Huangfu Lingyao. It would be good if she could cure his stupidity. In this era, it was better to have a man who could stand up to the heavens than nothing.
However, from the looks of it, she could not tell what was the root of his illness.
If Huangfu Lingyao was like this for the rest of his life, after she married him, since she used the name of King Dun Yu to settle down for herself, she had to live up to her identity as Princess Dun Yu.
She should take good care of this ‘husband’. She should also think about how to let King Dun Yu’s Residence survive in the cracks.
Seeing that Liang Yi was deep in thought, she brought up the third point. “Besides, I like to study medicine. Our Liang family is a military family, let alone having a headache or fever, we definitely won’t be able to avoid some injuries or something. With a doctor in the family, I’ll definitely be useful in the future, right?”
“But you…” Liang Yi still felt that her idea was not very good. “No matter what, you’re the eldest daughter of the Grand Chancellor’s Residence. Why did you think of going to the medicine hall to be a doctor’s apprentice?”
There was a more important question. “By the way, when did you learn how to treat patients?”
Liu Shimei smiled and said, “I learned it long ago. It’s just that heroes have no place to display their abilities! The Zheng Medicine Hall is the second-largest medical hall. If they are willing to accept me, it must be because I have some skills, right?”
After a few rounds of conversation, Liang Yi knew that she had her own ideas. He did not try to persuade her and only asked, “Then you told me that you want me to cover for you?”
Liu Shimei pursed her lips and smiled..
