Su Ruojin picked up her teacup, took a sip of tea slowly, and waited for Gao Hongyuan to speak without saying a word.
Gao Hongyuan was impressed by Lord Ye's composure and thought more highly of him.
"Doctor Ye, I have long heard of your exceptional medical skills, and seeing them today confirms that your reputation is well-deserved. My Imperial Preceptor greatly admires talented individuals. I wonder if Doctor Ye would be interested in joining the Imperial Medical Academy? If Doctor Ye is willing, you can start directly as the Assistant Imperial Physician, and if you perform well, it is not impossible to be promoted to the position of Director of the Imperial Medical Academy."
Dr. Ye is still young, and he has chosen the right path; his future is truly limitless.
Su Ruojin hadn't expected that Gao Hongyuan wanted to invite her to join the Imperial Hospital. He promised her the position of Imperial Physician Assistant right off the bat, which was quite a temptation.
"I thank you for your kindness, Grand Preceptor, but I am used to traveling around and not comfortable being confined to one place. I am afraid I can only disappoint you."
Gao Hongyuan wasn't angry about being rejected. If Ye Zhao had readily agreed, he would have thought she was a greedy and despicable person. His current reaction was more like that of a disciple of the Medical Sage.
"Doctor Ye, I admire your medical skills and am willing to recommend you to the Emperor. If you miss this opportunity, you may not have another chance. I hope you will think it over carefully."
"Then, Imperial Advisor, allow me to go back and consider it." Su Ruojin didn't want to directly refuse Gao Hongyuan's request, since he was, after all, an Imperial Advisor. It would be better for everyone to take it slow.
"Alright, I'll give Doctor Ye two days. Doctor Ye, please think it over carefully. Someone, escort Doctor Ye out. Doctor Ye, I believe you will make a wise choice," Gao Hongyuan said meaningfully.
"Okay." Su Ruojin didn't say anything more.
As soon as they stepped out of the study, servants came to escort them out of the mansion and informed them that Doctor Wei had been taken back to the clinic.
After leaving the Imperial Preceptor's residence, Xiao Yanchu said, "It seems I need to find Lu Junyuan to learn more about this Imperial Preceptor."
The other party has their eye on Ajin, and who knows what they will do after being rejected by her.
"Okay, let's go see Dap in a bit and ask him about it."
"Aya has already set off and will arrive at Xiaoyue soon if she doesn't stop day and night." Xiao Yanchu received the message by carrier pigeon, and everything was proceeding according to plan.
“Okay, this is a good time for Dapu to rest. Yanchu, let’s go shopping. I want to buy Xiaobao some new and interesting gadgets from Xiaoyue. When we get back to Dachu, we’ll go to Qingyue Mountain to see Xiaobao together.”
Now that Yuan Hong and Da Pu have been found, Su Ruojin feels at ease and is in the mood to go shopping.
“Okay.” Xiao Yanchu naturally wouldn’t object. Since their marriage, he hadn’t had a chance to go out and have some fun with Ajin. He would also buy her some jewelry and rouge later.
The two returned to the inn to change their clothes and headed towards the market.
Before even reaching the market, Xiao Yanchu saw many people running in one direction. He grabbed a man passing by and asked, "Brother, what happened?"
The elder brother hurriedly said, "Something has happened at General Wu's mansion, go and see quickly." After saying that, the elder brother ran ahead on his own.
Xiao Yanchu and Su Ruojin exchanged a glance. General Wu's Mansion?
Thinking of Madam Wu, who had been poisoned, and Miss Wu, who was pregnant, the two headed toward General Wu's mansion.
Upon arriving at the entrance of the General's Mansion, they saw Wu Yichen holding a sharp sword, his face full of anger, blocking the entrance. Madam Wu and Miss Wu stood behind him, their faces also full of anger.
"Anyone who wants to enter the General's Mansion today will have to step over my dead body!" Wu Yichen roared.
At the door, Madam Tao Yangshi angrily cursed, "Shameless little slut! Your father killed my master, and you still have the nerve to take back your dowry!"
Madam Wu shielded Miss Wu and said, "Madam Tao, this dowry was sent back by Young Master Tao. My daughter and your Tao family are divorced. According to the laws of Xiaoyue, a divorced woman is entitled to reclaim her dowry."
"Pah! Madam Wu, General Wu killed our master, and our Tao family hasn't settled this score with you yet, and you still have the nerve to say that! My son is magnanimous and gave you the divorce papers to protect your daughter's reputation."
It must be your shameless daughter who tried to seduce my son after the divorce and tricked him into returning the things.
"Wu Ziyun, let me tell you, you have to return this today, whether you like it or not!"
Madam Tao stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Madam Wu. Behind her followed more than twenty servants, all looking determined to achieve their goal.
