When the maid on the steps saw Ye Zhen's arrival, she smiled and opened the curtain, "Third Miss is here."
Ye Zhen nodded to the maid with a smile, bowed her head and walked in, a sweet smile already on her face. "Grandma, Yao Yao has come to pay her respects to you."
Fourth Miss Lu was already in the room, sitting on the left side of Old Madam Lu. Second Miss Lu covered her face with a fan and smiled, but her smile was a little forced. When she saw Ye Zhen come in, she really smiled. "Our third miss is here. Look at Third Sister's complexion, it is getting better."
Ye Zhen smiled, "That shows that our Lu family's mansion is full of spiritual energy."
Old Madam Lu laughed and pulled Ye Zhen up and down. "Well, your complexion is better, but you are still too thin. You need more nourishment."
"Grandma, rest assured, I will keep myself white and fat." Ye Zhen said with a smile, "I heard you laughing when I came in just now. What's the matter?"
"Fourth sister was talking about the college. There is a young lady from a famous family who looked down on our Lu family and wanted to compete with her in martial arts. As a result, she lost and cried." Second Miss Lu said.
There were not many aristocratic families in the capital who looked down on the Lu family. With Fourth Miss Lu's temperament, it was normal for her to be looked down upon in the college. "It seems that the college is quite fun."
"Third sister, where do you think the college is? How can you play casually? You can't say this outside, lest you make a fool of yourself." Fourth Miss Lu sneered.
Ye Zhen looked innocent and ignorant. "I have never been to the college. Naturally, I don't know what it is like. Next time, fourth sister will take me to have a look, then I will know."
Old Madam Lu nodded and said, "Yao Yao, there must have been no women's college in Border Town before. Now that your eldest brother has some status, let him deal with it for you and let you go to the college to study. It doesn't matter how much you learn, at least you will have a reputation."
After a hundred years, the Women's College had lost its original purpose. Originally, the Women's College was established to allow those lonely women to learn how to make a living. Later, as the college's reputation grew, after a hundred years, only girls from prestigious families could enter the Women's College. Girls from ordinary families could only dream of entering the Women's College if they had outstanding literary talent and passed the six tests. Otherwise, they could forget about entering the Women's College.
Fourth Miss Lu's face flashed with contempt. If it weren't for Old Madam Lu's presence, she would have sneered. This Third Miss Lu really dared to say anything. Growing up in the Border Town, she didn't even know a few words, let alone music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Yet, she dared to say that she would go to the college. Even if she relied on her eldest brother's relationship, she would be killed and driven out on the first day.
"Old Madam, even with my eldest brother's guarantee, Third sister must pass the exam. She is. Lu Lu Third sister's Third."
Second Miss Lu said, "Third sister may not fail the exam. I think she is a smart person. It won't be difficult."
"The college does not stipulate that fifteen-year-old girls can't enter. Besides, we don't want to learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting with those eleven-year-old girls. We can learn something else. Yao Yao, I heard that you used to study medicine with your mother. Do you want to go to the medical school of the college to study art?" Old Madam Lu asked.
Originally, practicing medicine was an unfashionable profession, but because Empress Duan Hui was a famous doctor and founded the world's first medical school, Renhe Tang, when the women's college was opened, she also opened a medical school. Women who graduated from the medical school had the opportunity to become a female medical officer in the palace.
Ye Zhen's eyelids drooped. If she became a female medical officer, would she have a chance to take revenge? If she wanted revenge, she must find a strong backer. Looking at the whole capital, there was only one person she could find.
That was the Empress Dowager, the mother of Mo Rongzhan.
When she was Princess Qin, the Empress Dowager treated her well. She only disliked the Ye family.
"Grandmother, I want to go!" No matter what method she used, she must enter the palace. Only by entering the palace could she have a chance to take revenge. Only by entering the palace could she get the power she wanted.
Not only did she want to become a female medical officer, but she also wanted to use the status of the Lu family to fight for more things that were good for her.
Lu Lingzhi used to pretend to be benevolent and righteous to make use of her. Can't she pretend to be his cousin now?
The enemy is in the light, but I am in the dark! Ye Zhen wanted to treat him the same way she treated him. Before, she didn't know what kind of person Lu Lingzhi was. But now, she knew. Whether it was Lu Lingzhi who poisoned her or Lu Wushuang who robbed her of her identity, she would pay them back no matter how they treated her.
The next time she met Lu Lingzhi, she would not be nervous, let alone afraid. She would treat herself as his cousin and forget her identity as Ye Zhen.
