My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

But now, Mrs. Gu has been recovering day by day, her complexion is also becoming ruddier, and her spirit seems stronger than when she arrived in Li City. The two children are also gradually growing up and look no different from ordinary full-term babies.

She knows in her heart that this is all because of Qin Liuxi’s intervention.

"I haven’t studied for many years, just a bit of interest," Qin Liuxi modestly said, "I only, slightly understand."

Old Mrs. Qin wanted to say that the medical profession is considered lowly, not comparable to the four occupations of scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants, as it is an inferior field, and thus, for a young lady who will marry in the future, it’s best not to get involved with these things.

But thinking about the current situation of the Qin family, she felt it was too pretentious to say such things.

"When in the presence of outsiders, you should still be cautious. After all, you are a lady, and ultimately, you will have to marry. A good reputation can only bring benefits and conveniences to a woman. On the contrary, with a poor reputation, you will face obstacles everywhere," Old Mrs. Qin said. "You usually only move between the Daoist Temple and this old residence, and you haven’t seen the customs of truly noble families, so you are unaware that society is especially harsh on women. In their eyes, even small actions that you think are insignificant can be magnified and criticized."

And this sort of thing, she has seen too much, also seen too many women suffer or even lose their lives because of it.

Qin Liuxi may not agree with these words, but she also knows that Old Lady has no ill will and what she said is reasonable.

The doctors of ancient times, no matter how famous, are not esteemed by the nobility and are considered lowly craftsmen. Haven’t there been famous doctors who spoke of the bitterness of a healer’s heart: "Medicine is a minor skill, full of essence, a weighty responsibility, yet a despised trade."
