Chapter 894 - 893 The Yulan Festival
Lady Qi spat at Imperial Doctor Du: "You people, every one of you is more scheming than a sieve, I’m just worrying for nothing! I’m just telling you, if you really like this maid, establish the master-apprentice relationship as soon as possible. Otherwise, when this maid’s husband becomes a Graduate in the future, and you try to take her as an apprentice, people might say behind your back that you’re trying to ride on a hot stove!"
"Who dares say that? I, a dignified Imperial Physician, need to ride on the heat of a Graduate?" Imperial Doctor Du retorted, agitated.
Although an Imperial Doctor who retires to his hometown isn’t as valuable as before, he hasn’t fallen so far, right? Especially since his son is now the Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
He just wanted to return to his hometown to enjoy a few years of peace, without getting involved in any trouble, and he came back very low-key. Yet, to hear his wife say this, it was really heartbreaking.
Even though he said this, his heart was indeed beating a drum. He wasn’t afraid of people saying he was trying to ride on a hot stove, but rather that his wife reminded him, if this maid’s husband really becomes a Graduate, won’t she have to follow him to the Provincial Capital?
What if this maid goes to the Provincial Capital and meets other doctors...
Imperial Doctor Du suddenly felt an immense sense of crisis, and secretly made up his mind to find an excuse someday to accept this little maid as an apprentice.
Lady Qi chuckled lightly. Having been with Imperial Doctor Du all her life, how could his plans be hidden from her?
He probably already realized the crux of the issue, and at this moment is likely already calculating how to take on an apprentice.
Since her purpose had been achieved, Lady Qi smiled sweetly, picked up the Palace Powder box, and slowly returned to her room.
