Regarding this question, Ruan Mian also could not provide the most definite answer.
However, she understood that if the world is to improve, there must be pioneers.
She patted Ruan Mian’s shoulder and said, "If there were a few more people as daring as Ruan Qing, this world would get better sooner or later."
"But this is a long-term endeavor, and what we need to do now is to make Wuheng, our family, and our village and town better."
Ruan Qing nodded, with a decision in her heart, and told her, "Sister, I want to study and beco a well-read scholar like Lady Ruan Qiu."
"Our sister is smart and agile. You wanted to learn dicine at first, and now you can diagnose on your own. If you want to read more books, it is certainly not a problem."
"But our Ruan Qing suddenly wants to study; is there a wish in her heart?"
Ruan Qing thought for a mont and then lowered her voice to ask her, "In the past, there were precedents for female officials and female exams, but there has never been a case where won could participate in the imperial exams."
"I have read so books in recent days and asked my brother and the General. There is no law in Da Jing preventing won from taking the exams. It’s just that others are too prejudiced and assu won cannot participate."
Ruan Mian was sowhat surprised, her eyebrows moving slightly: "You want to take the imperial exams?"
Ruan Qing smiled and said, "It’s not necessarily for the court, but to prove to the world that so things are not impossible for won."
"Sister, do you think I am being whimsical? I know this idea is very unconventional, and I dare not tell others, but you are different; you must understand ."
Ruan Mian was moved, fully understanding her, but also spoke earnestly.
"I understand my sister’s thoughts, but the road ahead is full of thorns, and wishful thinking alone cannot reach it."
"I won’t stop you from living according to your heart, which is a right everyone should have."
"But for now, we have to be practical. You should take care of your health first, and after the child is born, think about how to pursue your path."
Ruan Qing nodded solemnly, and at that mont, Shaoxi brought so dicine over.
Ruan Mian suddenly rembered she hadn’t seen Cui Zhu all day.
She couldn’t help but ask more, "Why didn’t I see Zhu’er today?"
Ruan Qing seed to have been reminded: "I didn’t see her yesterday either."
Shaoxi hesitated for a mont before truthfully telling her where Cui Zhu was now.
It turned out Cui Zhu had already voluntarily gone to the quarantined epidemic area three days ago.
She felt unwell, her body uncomfortable, as if being scorched by flas at every mont, and swallowing water felt like swallowing a blade.
She knew she might have contracted the epidemic.
Thinking that there were pregnant won and children at ho, she couldn’t bring this disease back ho at any cost.
So as soon as there were signs, she wore a mask and explained her situation to Shaoxi, making sure not to worry the girl.
"Shaoxi, the girl is now extrely busy, with many matters waiting for her to handle. There’s no need to inform her about my situation."
"I will stay in the epidemic area and recuperate with the patients. Only the things at hand I have to trouble you with."
At that ti, Shaoxi was worried, but thinking of people slowly recovering in the epidemic area, she didn’t think too much of it.
So she agreed to Cui Zhu’s words.
However, Cui Zhu greatly underestimated her condition. After less than a day in the epidemic area, her condition worsened significantly, and she felt dizzy and suffocated, as if under a huge mountain.
At night, people around were either asleep or sick, her mouth was dry, she wanted to drink so water to alleviate it, but had no one to rely on.
She had to muster her strength to sit up from the bed.
However, as soon as she walked outside the tent, her legs inexplicably beca weak, and her entire body fell to the ground!
The next mont, she fell into a warm embrace.
She focused her eyes and instinctively looked back, only to et a pair of familiar eyes.
"Liu... Mr. Liu? Why are you here? Are you sick too?"
It was indeed Liu Shu.
However, the truth was not what Cui Zhu thought; Liu Shu was not sick. He ca here specifically to see Cui Zhu.
"I ca to see you; luckily, I ca. Don’t speak yet, let help you."
Before Cui Zhu could speak, Liu Shu picked her up in his arms.
However, Liu Shu did not go into the tent but took her to a nearby grass hut in the forest.
Cui Zhu was surprised, feeling that the grass hut was newly built, and even the bedding inside was new.
