When Yi Shuihan asked her for suggestions on revisions, she heard him mention it briefly, but she wasn't sure if she would follow through with what he said at the time.

Meng Zhu pondered that since Helian Ye was recuperating here, the place would definitely be heavily protected, and even if her father wanted to take her back to get married, he wouldn't be able to get in.

He then asked expectantly, "Can I stay at the manor for a while? I can help take care of the Second Prince."

Helian Ye underwent major surgery and definitely needs a doctor to be by his side to take care of him.

Although Meng Zhu had studied medicine for less than a year, she had mastered all the surgical courses and achieved excellent grades, so taking care of Helian Ye was not a problem.

only……

Xiao Qingyin reminded her, "You need to keep watch these two nights, and you also have to go back to the academy for classes during the day. Can you manage?"

Meng Zhu nodded: "I don't have many classes lately, so I can manage."

Xiao Qingyin continued, "There's another point: Helian Ye is an outsider, and if word gets out, it might damage your reputation."

Mengzhu smiled.

"Didn't you say that doctors don't care about gender? I don't care what others think, as long as I don't care myself?"

This was a rare opportunity to put her skills into practice, and she wasn't about to let it slip by.

Seeing that she had thought it through, Xiao Qingyin nodded.

"In that case, you can stay. I'll explain the medication and care details to you..."

After making the arrangements, Xiao Qingyin returned to her residence.

After Yi Shuihan finished his court session, she told him about Helian Ye and Meng Zhu.

Yi Shuihan replied, "I will talk to Helian Ye again. As for the marriage law, it will be promulgated on the first of next month, along with the law that allows women to take the imperial examinations to enter officialdom."

Xiao Qingyin was very happy to hear this.

But I'm also a little worried.

"Won't such a large number of changes at once provoke a lot of resistance?"

Yi Shuihan chuckled: "Resistance is useless. I've even reformed the imperial examination system. I'm not only recruiting people for governance, but also for those with skills in mathematics, metallurgy, and craftsmanship. A folk craftsman, as long as he has enough skills, can also receive generous treatment in the future. If they remain as narrow-minded as before, they will only lose their original status."

Xiao Qingyin could tell from his words that he had great ambitions.

He wanted to usher in a civilized era where everyone on this land would enjoy the same rights and have the same opportunities.

Looking at his slightly bluish cheeks, a pang of heartache flashed in her eyes.

This man was so busy introducing all sorts of new policies that he didn't even have time to shave.

She shoved the person down onto the chair.

He said, "Let me shave you," and went to find shaving cream and a razor.

Her only intention was to help him shave.

But after I finished shaving him, looking at his smooth chin and his prominent Adam's apple, I couldn't help but lean down and touch it.

Yi Shuihan's eyes darkened.

"I knew you had ulterior motives."

With a swift movement of his long arm, Xiao Qingyin fell into his embrace.

"It's broad daylight!"

"You started it."

"..."
