One Word Changed, Characters in Chaos

Chapter 244: Chapter 10 Maintenance

Ye Xiao brought a shock to Chang Xueqin that was simply too astonishing.

Suddenly, Chang Xueqin became acutely aware.

Dreams, indeed, were just dreams.

Ye Xiao was not the person she had seen in her dreams.

The real world would not be like the one in her dreams either.

Could such a “golden finger” really enable her to reach the pinnacle of life? She doubted it.

Ye Xiao watched Chang Xueqin’s reaction and smiled slightly.

The person behind the scenes kept influencing Chang Xueqin with dreams.

But,

they forgot one thing.

The deeper the impression the dreams left on Chang Xueqin, the faster they would collapse once a discrepancy occurred.

Ye Xiao allowed the recent nightly dreams to continuously brainwash Chang Xueqin.

Then, just as Chang Xueqin was about to sink in, she was given a great contrast.

Naturally, Chang Xueqin realized that dreams were indeed just dreams.

“Doctor Chang, you can take your time to consider,” Ye Xiao said softly, “You don’t need to feel pressured, whether you agree or not. I will keep your female identity secret.”

Chang Xueqin looked at Ye Xiao somewhat dazedly.

Watching as Ye Xiao stood up to leave,

Chang Xueqin pursed her lips.

She thought of her dream.

Didn’t she come to this world to disseminate medicine and leave a legacy?

She herself wasn’t purely chasing fame and fortune; she had a pursuit of medicine itself!

If she really started using that “golden finger,” would her medical skills still improve?

She might be able to become an unprecedented Divine Doctor by relying on it, but could she really accept such praise with a clear conscience?

No!

What didn’t belong to her always brought unease when possessed.

“Marchioness,” Chang Xueqin suddenly stopped Ye Xiao, “I have made no progress with Marquis Valiant’s illness. Do you still trust me?”

Ye Xiao was taken aback, then smiled slightly, “Doctor Chang, even the Imperial physicians in the palace have made no progress with the Marquis’s illness in five years. Why should you put so much pressure on yourself?”

Chang Xueqin bowed her head, showing an embarrassed expression.

She felt even more strongly that the dreams she had these past days were outrageous.

The Marchioness… how could she possibly be like the figure in those dreams?

Her courage and ideas were even more progressive than hers, a modern-day transmigrator.

She had come to this world intending to spread medical knowledge.

Now, with the Marchioness willing to help, wasn’t this the best opportunity?

Without further hesitation, Chang Xueqin spoke earnestly, “Marchioness, please arrange as you see fit; Xueqin is willing to cooperate.”

A trace of amusement flashed in Ye Xiao’s eyes as she nodded in agreement.

Afterward,

Chang Xueqin still had those dreams.

But she only found them ludicrous.

How could someone like the Marchioness be the person from her dreams?

This merely made the ludicrous nature of the dreams even more apparent.

Ye Xiao was true to her word; she indeed began to establish a medical school for women.

Such an unprecedented endeavor naturally faced resistance, but Ye Xiao mainly recruited students from poor families and not only was the education free, but it also came with various subsidies. As a result, she quite easily gathered the first group of students.

Moreover, the Emperor, feeling ultimately guilty toward Marquis Valiant, covertly supported Ye Xiao, and thus the women’s medical school was finally established.

During this process, An Yihua initially just observed from the sidelines, but gradually, she too was inspired by Ye Xiao and began to work on this cause alongside her.

On the day the women’s medical school opened, Chang Xueqin wore women’s clothing for the first time in many years.

Standing there, looking at the pale, thin female students below, she didn’t know why, but she felt a surge of emotion welling up in her eyes.

She suddenly realized.

Beyond spreading medical knowledge, there were other things she needed to do in this world.

She wanted to.

Empower more women to stand up and take control of their destinies.

One day in the future, they wouldn’t need to disguise themselves as men to have lives of their own.

Chang Xueqin began her teaching.

She still lived in Marquis Mansion, teaching classes while continuing to see to Marquis Valiant’s health.

In the beginning, Ye Xiao mainly managed the women’s medical school, but later on, An Yihua did an excellent job managing it too, so Ye Xiao handed the responsibility over to her.

She herself was busy with even more matters.

At that time, the three young women were all exceedingly busy.

One day.

Having finished her tasks, Ye Xiao returned to the Mansion only to see a group of scholars blocking the entrance.

Upon seeing Ye Xiao, the leader of the group huffed coldly, “Teaching women, women studying, this is unprecedented! Marchioness, your actions are truly tarnishing the reputation of Marquis Valiant!”

“Indeed. What kind of students can a female doctor produce? It’s probably just a waste of time!”

“Women should be at home, supporting their husbands and educating the children. Now, they’re all showing their faces in public, truly turning the world upside down.”

These people started complaining to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao looked at them with interest, glancing at the leading scholar, “You are…?”

“I am Lin Yuezhi!” Lin Yuezhi said coldly, “I urge you, madam, to immediately cease your absurd actions.”

Lin Yuezhi, huh.

Ye Xiao nodded, it was indeed a familiar name.

In the original book.

Gu Shu eloped with Lin Yuezhi.

This man thought highly of his own talents, and Gu Shu admired his intellect, thus she ran away with him.

But this man’s so-called talents seemed to be all talk. He took the imperial examinations every time but failed continuously, and he never thought it was due to his own shortcomings, always blaming it on the unfairness of the heavens.

Ye Xiao glanced at the plot.

“Lin Yuezhi spoke passionately, while Gu Shu hid to the side, her expression revealing a hint of admiration. She had read Lin Yuezhi’s poetry and had a few encounters with him; mutual affection had already grown between them. Seeing him stand so righteously, she was even more moved, truly a man worthy of her affection. At the same time, recalling her mother’s strange behavior recently, Gu Shu felt increasingly resentful. Her mother said her brother had tarnished the family’s reputation and had him locked up, not realizing it was her actions that were truly degrading to Marquis Mansion.”

“Worried that her mother might harm Lin Yuezhi, Gu Shu couldn’t hold back anymore and stepped out to protect him.”

Following that, Gu Shu spoke in various ways on behalf of Lin Yuezhi, even inviting Ye Xiao to apologize to him and then to stop her women’s medical school.

As a legitimate daughter of Marquis Mansion, she unabashedly displayed her love for Lin Yuezhi, and once word spread, it turned both her and Marquis Mansion into a laughingstock.

Ye Xiao was at a loss too.

Alright then.

She had been so busy lately, she had almost forgotten about the ticking time bomb at home.

Since it was bound to explode sooner or later, she might as well deal with it now.

Ye Xiao casually changed a single word.

Ye Xiao had just made the change.

Before she had a chance to speak, Gu Shu, worried her mother might harm Lin Yuezhi, already couldn’t resist rushing out.

“Mother!” Gu Shu shouted, hurrying over immediately.

Ye Xiao looked at her calmly.
